about to say something mean but i feel like every "male-specific" issue is something that also happens to women its just that a lot of you dont seem to see women as people
Day 1 with a time machine teaching peasants in 1760s cork to say "go whiteboy go" and "I like your shoelaces" as gaeilge as a means of identifying fellow whiteboys day 2 with a time machine attempting to trap each and every british monarch in some sort of personalised saw style ironic punishment torture labyrinth
"who radicalized you" ever since i was a child i wanted other people to be treated nicely and fairly because i didnt understand why theyd deserve otherwise and it fills me with disgust seeing how people treat their fellow human beings sometimes
It's very weird the way Jill's character turned out to be in the series, she seemed to be more or one of the "mains" as a character, I mean in the 90s trilogy she had her own game, and then there came the 2000s which made most of the base material for the franchise. Sad, really.
Oh my god I could write an essay on how bad Capcom has fucked her up in the more recent years (and just the misogyny of the RE franchise in general). The originals definitely weren't perfect either, however, I do think it's very interesting that when Jill was created, the creator didn't want Jill to be sexualized like the other women characters in video games at the time. And yet... that's exactly what's become of her. I love Jill, and it irritates me more than I can express in words to watch Capcom constantly sideline her and then do shit like what they did with DI. The fact that they did all the marketing for it being "Jill's movie" and then barely even focused on her recovery and did what they did with the Licker scene just pisses me off more.
#OTD in 1916 – Eoin MacNeill's last minute bid to call off the Easter Rising.
The letter penned on Easter Saturday, 22 April 1916, by Irish Volunteers chief Eoin MacNeill, dispatched to rebel leaders in an effort to call off the planned revolution.
“Volunteers completely deceived. All orders for to-morrow Sunday are entirely cancelled,” says the note signed by MacNeill on what is now a tatty piece of paper, embossed with an address at Rathfarnham, Dublin.
It was as a…
I think two statements with this whole thing can cexist;
They listened. Apologized. Were very accountable. Fixed the issue. Admitted to how insensitive and tone deaf what they said and did was. Etc.
And.
They are still rich. The comments and stuff they did were very insensitive, tone deaf, and outright cruel and not okay at all, and many people will never trust them again as they once did, many won't even ever watch again. Many people, while being able to accept the apology, will still want nothing to do with them after that, especially for us who genuinely are struggling in life with money. It was highly insulting and it makes you look at people differently after that.
