    Oof, using the W-word in this, of all places? That ain't gonna end good...

    the correct term is "colonizer"

    So say the 18th holy scripture, Black Panther, found in the Books of The Avengers.

    I too would like to opine upon the foibles of a particular ethnic group as they relate to relatively recent political violence. Given the response to this post, I can only presume that such musings are considered kosher here. Still, I'd hate to commit a faux pas based on a misunderstanding, so I'd like to ask, is there an explicit policy here on how one is allowed to talk about people depending upon their race? If not, I'll be happy to join in on the fun.

    I'm the whitiest white that ever whited. Blonde hair, gray eyes, the whole Platinum GOTY package including the now rather rare "lived in an honest to god actual fucking colonial country" DLC.

    There is nothing you can tell me about being white. I'm whiter than anyone you'll likely ever meet, and I've been doing it longer than you, and better than you.

    I am superbly qualified to talk about the shit that white people do and say and get away with. I've done and said a good amount and been egregiously forgiven or even praised for it in my time. It's bullshit, it should be ridiculed and called out and it needs to stop.

    And bear in mind I'm only arguing from whiteness here and I've already won. I can also go on to cite facts, if you want to take this to debate and discourse.

    None of this has anything to do with the comic, so drop it.

    Good heavens sir, you seem a bit confrontational, indeed this entire discussion seems to have abruptly become rather fraught. I'd just like to cite for the record the fact that I have neither disagreed with you on any particular matter, nor ventured any specific opinion of my own, but merely asked if yours constitutes a viable template for posting here.

    Oh sure, suddenly it's time to end such talk as soon as you think anyone is about to go after your precious Chuweros. The mainstream media doesn't want you to know they eat and fuck shit, but we can all see their asshole faces. But fine, I won't talk about events at the Cleveland Vintage Locomotive Expo. Choo choo.

    I read his rant and don't understand why he apologized. Everything he said was pretty accurate. Personal attacks won't win you a lot of friends, but Molyneux was notorious for outright lies, NMS was entirely unplayable on launch (even ignoring the lack of features), and CDPR is getting sued by what, 20 different groups now?

    IMO he should have doubled down. Liars getting offended for being called out on purely bad-faith falsehoods really gets to me.

    Because he has to work in the industry he attacked basically. Even if you're telling the truth calling out fellow peeps tends to piss people off and negatively hurt your own brand.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    You know what I find most surprising? That apologia hasn't already been used as a comic/news post title on PA thus far.

    I don't know where he got the scorpions, or how he got them into my mattress.

    You can be accurate about what you say, and still wrong to say it. At least, that's why my boss says I'm not allowed to send company-wide emails anymore.
