See I would say there's actually no problem with that at all. I also just think creators should do one of two things... or potentially both... 1) If you're writing things that are specifically targeted for a niche group, you have to expect niche engagement. You can't expect to write something...

I'm in NJ and of our counties has a "blue law" that stores can't be open on Sunday, and it IS enforced. It's so odd.

That was kind of my point though. They don't just come in and just, exterminate everyone. Sometimes you need to pick your battles to survive. Better red than dead.

They still need people... it's hard to move in, take over a country and then just, exterminate all the people. I'm all about survival myself. I wouldn't particularly want to live under Soviet rule but if it came down to it and the Soviets were marching down my street... you better believe i'm...

You were the one who posted the condescending image... I was just noting how sometimes the people complaining about thing are worse than the thing. I don't believe in segregation. Everybody can enjoy everything. And if you don't like, the neat part is, you don't have to partake in it! That's...

I wasn't the one triggered by... *checks notes* too many women? It's ok. The original Half Life still exists as a safe space. Nobody can take that from you. In the future, they really should add trigger warnings if they're going to add some women or black people or something, just to make sure...

I'm just as annoyed at people complaining about it, if not more. Depends on the context. In this case... the crying about adding some women is WAY worse than adding some women. EDIT - I kind of expect more from conservative types, who tend to claim "I don't get offended by everything" and then...

Sure. You do you. To me, that's kind of a weird and arbitrary place to draw the line, but if that's how you feel that's how you feel. I would draw the line at changing up the protagonist. If Freeman became a strong independent black lesbian... ok. You got me there, that's stupid. I would...

I hardly think "adding some women scientists" is adding "modern politics". Look I agree, woke shit goes too far but... this really isn't that. It's ok for something that is updated to be... updated.

I don't think there should be a quota or anything but having female scientists isn't some outlandish, unbelievable ridiculous idea. What next? Are they gonna put in Jews?! Black Mesa was never intended to be a direct pound-for-pound remake of the original. I'm pretty sure Half-Life is set...

Women?! SCIENTISTS?! The audacity. How absurd! /sarcasm

You're right. I'm happy to take the discussion elsewhere. Carry on the gaming thread. Everything doesn't need to be politics.

There are also potential genetic benefits too but in the end, yes. This. In the end, i'm white and my fiance is white. Just how it happened. I've always been open to anything. Race is largely irrelevant to me. I was far more concerned we aligned on religious (or lack thereof) and political...

That's the exact reason why some on the left DON'T approve. Black women especially seem to be against black men race mixing. Although, really the only argument against race-mixing is "racial purity" and... that tends to be a bad thing historically.

That's nonsense. There's plenty on both sides. There's certainly plenty of extremists on the left who are anti-white. There's plenty of extremists on the right who are anti-non-white.

No, racists are against race-mixing. Racists can fall all over the political spectrum.

They care more than people give them credit for, and they vastly outnumber the extremists. Or rather, they care once it affects them. Media effects them. Most people don't want woke in everything. Most people are totally fine with diversity and inclusion. Nobody really cares if a character is...

They had a few years of burning bright and hot with it, but the castle does seem to be crumbling. And to be honest, as someone who does consider myself to be progressive, it angers me to no end that the woke crowd hijacked everything... it's only going to be damaging in the long run. People ARE...

Which doesn't actually give anyone more wealth. It just creates more money... "Worth" is not a tangible thing. It's whatever people value a thing at. Money, be it fiat or otherwise, has value because we give it value. Land, gold, etc. also has no actual intrinsic value... we just ascribed...

Well yes, but generally tangible assets are acquired via fiat currency. Although for being worthless, it's quite amazing what fiat currency can acquire...
