This! Unfortunately I have a friend that is a fan of him. I just spoke to him on the phone on if he saw the extended trailer and he told me he is refusing to play the game. He may get it when it is on sale, but because Lucia is a playable female character, he will not be looking forward to playing it at all.
When warzone was out, friends of mine asked me to play with them. I haven't played a call of duty game since modern warfare 2. We played with a guy that i didn't know, and he wasn't really someone i wanted to be friends with. He was pretty upset that i played a female character. I first thought that he was joking. Like: damn why do you have to the the woman, that's why we lose. Haha. Not funny, but you know, shittalk. His rage build up slowly, because i refused to switch character. At some point in tge middle if a game he disconnected and i never saw him again. My friend, who also doesn't know him that well apparently told me that he hates me and refused to play with me afterwards.
These people seem so made up to me, but I know they aren't. They get so worked up over the weirdest thing. And somehow it's the "wokes" who are snowflakes.
Yeah, I'm not interested in the game, but I'm way less interested in games where I can't play a woman without good reason (normally, that the player character is a defined character)
Another line to take it is that if it cannot be made wet because it is wet by nature, water is the very concept of wet given form, so it is wet even if it’s what makes other things wet.
Do you mean to tell me people actually find that to be a funny joke? I genuinely thought it was just mega nerds trying to seem superior. Live and learn, I guess.
I have touched a bit, only a handful of times to see if its better and I havent paid for a release since they tend to give games pit for free from time to time. It's almost entirely just playing single player because online is just intolerable now.
I used to be buddies with a retired NYPD patrolman. One of the most funded and well-trained municipal police forces in the US. With regular range testing, they were expected to hit their targets 40% of the time.
I'll say that again: in a controlled environment, against unmoving targets, an NYPD officer can usually miss, and that's fine. Does anyone think they suddenly get more accurate once adrenalin is pumping and a teenager is running away from them?
I had a buddy who went into the army in HS and it was around the time some doofuses suggested arming teachers with guns.
He already thought the idea was braindead stupid so we decided to look up cops as a comparison to civilians in terms of accuracy.
We couldn't find civilian data but the cops in our state had a whopping 21% accuracy of actually hitting their target (in real situations) with some areas as low as 11%.
He doubled down on disqualifying police as a real occupation after that lol.
Police tend to be the most dangerous and least accurate group of gun owners. Even with the tiny amount of range time police get, you'd be hard pressed to find a worse group to hand guns to.
I feel like it's a bit of both. Kinda like flat earthers. Most were in on the joke, but some took it seriously. It is pretty funny to wanna hear n-words, but are afraid to even say the n-word.
They force us to commit crimes of vehicular nature! They practically make us to steal cars (not respecting private property, communism!)! What happened to this wholesome franchise called Grand Theft Auto, horror. It used to be about saying n-word, but now it's about disrespecting our boys in blue!
I know people hate his followers and him, but there is a piece to this people forget.
These people are real, and they are out there. He curates his audience to be echo chambers for these mindsets. We need to speak to our friends, family, and neighbors, about this stuff so that they can't just fester in these toxic environments. It's an uphill battle, but writing the people on the fringes of these groups off just causes them to spiral into their own circles and get more intense.
We don't want people following him because he isn't worth following. Care for people and show others that your community is welcoming to all and they'll lose their power. There are bigger problems we can unite against that we all want.
It's going to take a stronger person than me to fix all my white friends who watch his shit. At some point they just want to be different and feel right for it.
I watched the extended look. There was a very clearly enunciated "what the fuck" about 18 seconds into the video, so there's that. I guess that's not enough or something?
Probably best to nix that word from your vocabulary - it’s derived from pre-genetics race theory and was one of the primary groupings along with “Caucasoid” and “Negroid”. It was basically exclusively used to refer to people who were considered “lesser than”, and that racism carried forward into it being used as a descriptor for people with Down syndrome.

Unless you have isolated a single water molecule, it is in contact with other water molecules and therefore wet.

No, my point was about you, not the other guy.
Its not possible for one person to say whether a joke is funny or whether people should find it funny.
The point is you're spending time making pedantic comments calling someone else pedantic.
At a certain point continuing to argue doesn't convince, it confuses or confounds and undermines the intent.

They will all be playing GTA 6 on release day. None of them have the spine to stand by their convictions.
Edit: Even Assmold himself will be playing, but he will frame it like he's not really playing it. He just wants to show how woke it really is ;)
