And *of course* when something "progressive" fails and another part of that franchise services the fans like it should've done, leftists blame toxic fandom.
I think I should write an article about why I think "Go Woke, Get Broke" is wrong
Because it misses what actually is happening. None or very few people in an industry care about politics or the culture war or diversity and all that
They care about selling stuff, and to sell the product you need advertisements, positive ones
Now, say you know the product is bad, and you cannot promote it by it's objective merits
So you promote it in the name of diversity and progressive politics (Battlefield 5, ghostbusters)
That makes fans angry, and what makes fans angry is picked up by mainstream outlets like polygon
so the game gets famous and people buy a lot
However, the audience soon finds that the product itself is just terrible
and boom, sales drop
This is why comics like Border Town and Iceman have great sales on issue 1, and then completely fail
Maybe someone commenting recently on the topic in here can drop some knowledge and confirm this for me...it seems that, in summary, this incident with the group of high schoolers is a case where intentional misrepresentations are being made to construct a narrative favorable to one party, and even though video and disccussions from some the folks present can be found contending otherwise, partisan ranker against the youngsters is leading to more false representations?
Wow. Of all people to make a video supporting reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVvpVRJ-NH4
@caykoh Think of it this way.
There was a snippet of a video which could be used to make an otherwise peace full right wing rally into a controversial event. Leftist media used it to the best of their ability.
Gullible right wingers and other compassionate people fell for the narrative and did their best to make themselves look good.
This all happened because on twitter, no one cares about looking for context or have the attention span to look through a 2 hour video.
None of this would have happened if the Baby Hitler smear against Ben Shapiro had worked succesfully
well it worked at least a little bit
he did lose two sponsors
Calm (meditation app) and Quip (electric toothbrush)
poor dude
he looks older than dusty 😉
Most people don't understand the situation. What happened is the Covington Catholic Boys (White kids) were pointing out that the Black Hebrew Israelites (Black kids) were being racist. They were literally using terms like "cracker". The Covington Catholic Boys and Black Hebrew Israelites were in a bit of a standoff, and then this Native American drummer comes in and starts escalating the situation by getting in the face of the Covington Catholic Boys. The Covington Catholic Boys hold their ground and start dancing with him to defuse the situation. The Covington Catholic Boys eventually walk away, and oh btw, most of them didn't have "Make America Great Again" hats on.
wait you're saying the media lied to me?
you're saying fake news is real?
The Black Israelites were also shouting racial slurs at all the black Covington students and trying to get them to leave
and homophobic slurs too
here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OblYLTWfR20
black hebrew israelites?
you mean Yemenite Jews or Ethopian Jews? what were they doing in the US protesting?
abusing their right to complain for bonus shekels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites they're strange folks
i think this kid is probably going to get hurt. there's no other way for the virtue signallers to one-up each other without going physical.
and they have to one-up each other. can't prove the superiority of your virtue without going further than the other guy..
the kid's life is already ruined.
no admissions office will accept him, no major company will ever hire him.
you don't know that
that's what people said about David Hogg and Hogg got into a major university after the incident
No one said that about Hogg lol. The case was the exact opposite.
Hogg is on the 'correct' side.
