This meme is backwards considering what Tarantino said about why he wouldn't give Paul Dano a gig.

I don't remember him declaring that out of nowhere so much as acknowledging it when articles or other people refer to him as that.

What does this have to do with him manufacturing consent? What does that even mean? He makes sure everyone agrees to things before they do it? That doesn't sound like a bad thing.

There is a difference between being an anarchist and being an egotistical foreigner who goes into a foreign land, tells the locals they're all stupid and backward, and that his own culture is better and they should follow it instead.

You're arguing in favour of the settler-colonist perspective of "These brown savages should adopt my Christianity!"

You're only saying "fuck laws" now because you backed yourself into a corner. You didn't have that opinion before. That's also why you have this lie about me defending cops and laws instead of what I actually said, which was about the people of an island having their culture flagrantly disrespected by an outsider who thinks he's better than them.

Anarchism is not about no laws or society at all. That's a very FOX News view of it. It's also very much not about imposing your own values and judgement upon other cultures and people who you choose not to respect.

You don't know what "niche audience" means if you think these two games sold and are played by similar audiences as, say, Anno games.

You've also got selection bias twisted considering you're using it to say a few comments in here must represent the truth because they say something you like.

What you heard about Cyberpunk must be from some real haters because, of all the things you could accuse about its story, boring and unoriginal are not it.

If anything here explains the state of anything, it's how easily gamers will believe nonsense as long as it fits their preconceived notions and gets their anger up.

They're both very well received games and the two clearest examples of games actually get fixed properly after a disastrous release.

So what? Your country isn't Bali, Indonesia. The fact of the matter is that this is the law of that land, and nobody is exempt just for having strong opinions against it.

Like what's your point here? You should be able to go to another country, tell them that you don't like their laws, and enjoy some kind of immunity as a result? That they'll just suddenly go "Hey, this foreigner is right, we should totally change our culture and laws to match their opinion!" If you can't abide by such laws in such a country then don't go to that country. It's that simple. What you don't do is go anyway and then openly insult and defy them, and then get upset when the place with extreme laws doles out harsh retribution.

Like them or not, extremist or not, these are their laws and this guy openly flaunted violating them:

Zgraggen boasted in Instagram posts that he had defied restrictions that prohibit residents and visitors from leaving their homes or accommodations except for emergencies.

In video clips shared online, Zgraggen smiled at the camera and described walking to a beach during the observance. In one, he called the tradition “crazy” and used an expletive.

Definitely not respectful of their laws. Tourists are probably given quite a large leash too, this guy was being downright insulting and hostile to them. He fucked around, and now found out.
