Not to mention that Nate actually does get on pretty well with indigenous peoples when he encounters them in any of his games; sure, there's all sorts of racism especially in Uncharted 1 in how many of his enemies are PoC, but 2 and onward try hard to shed that.

Worth noting: This won't take place as originally scheduled in large part because the entire organized Muslim community of Sweden stood up and opposed it. https://twitter.com/JTAnews/status/1620198937314398209

“If the splitting of the sea occurred today: - The media would mourn the Egyptians that died. - PETA would mourn the horses that died. - The Jews would be called murderers.”

It is actually kind of funny that Nathan Drake is, in some respects, more genuinely a history nerd than Indiana Jones.

Sure, Nate treasure hunts, a LOT, & has all the attendant archaeology sins, but he consistently shows a genuine passion for history & ancient cultures.

What you're looking at is a justification for murdering civilians draped in the language of liberation following the murder of Israeli Jews outside of a synagogue last week.

Put differently: some people saw Jews get murdered and said "more please."

Hating Jews precedes every modern ideology. No ideology is immune to antisemites joining their ranks because it's a wider part of the cultural tradition.

On a fucking spaceship, an environment where efficient use of space is probably a good idea, to boot.

Saw some dude ranting how the new Dead Space was “woke trash”, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was talking about.

It’s gender neutral bathrooms. They made them gender neutral in the remake.

Imagine being upset about the state of bathrooms in the 25th century.

Leaving aside how weird and needy this is it's also been used as a literal term in chemistry and Latin root meaning "this side of."

Many words have Trans in them. Transport, translate, transcribe etc

But Cis? Before recently it was only used in one word before it was hailed as “How To Describe Not-Trans People”

A cistern. Ya know, that thing in a toilet

They’re comparing biological women to toilets. Lovely

@[email protected] "Cistern" isn't specific to toilets. It's a reservoir of water, which is why flush toilets include them.

It's also not where the prefix "cis" comes from. You'll find it in geography (cisalpine), astronomy (cislunar), chemistry (cis-trans isomerism, for a double whammy).

I have been taught to yell “stop resisting” and “drop your weapon” after firing a gun, because bystanders will remember you said it and their memory will automatically reverse the order of the events to make it make sense. Their testimony will support yours, because of this.
