Haha right? Remember the Equifax breach? I think the security claim isn't genuine in intent, but I can believe that all else being equal, privacy violation does result in risk to security.

Even more reason to solve the underlying issues and hold companies accountable for how they handle privacy and personal information. Ideally I'd like to see the hoarding of personal data be somehow demonitized.

Being depressed and struggling with dating is part of the human experience. Despite popular belief, I too am a fellow human, therefore, I've experienced this as well.

I haven't really accused anyone if being an incel, just that this comic contains some of* their talking points. Everyone appears pretty passionate about this, and that's interesting, but I'm still not convinced those elements aren't in here.

I appreciate the take though.

No candy crush for this guy!

I wonder how much junk was created just because a device didn't support the latest version of HDCP.

It's been a real dog pile

I didn't say that, but OK.

This is the wrong way to go about solving this problem IMO, but then again the problem they're trying to solve is more about security than privacy as a right.

I'm compassionate as fuck, yo.

Did these folks forget the response by trained officers in Uvalde? People also tend to not realize how chaotic and unstable an active shooter situation can be, even if it's just a suspected one. Putting all that responsibility onto the teachers should make everyone, parents and teachers especially, very nervous.

The down votes are likely a knee jerk reaction, but it's no big deal 🙂

I agree with you, that's a better way of thinking. It's more rational to say hey, that one didn't work out but it'll be fine.

I understand though, rejection hurts, and most of us have been through that. I just think more people need to be able to brush those things off and move on, as you're saying.

Lmao got em

I don't have a horse in this race, I was making a joke that the difference in the games appears to come down to one having a sexy Lady and one generally doesn't AFAIK.

I believe Japanese gamers should have just as much access to Dead Space and any other American titles and vise-versa. I imagine the reasoning is along the lines of "video games make people violent" or something, but I think that should be a family or parental decision, not the government.

While I'm at it, I don't think pornographic or pornographic adjacent content should be available to minors, and I cringe at some of the stuff I see on the Nintendo or Playstation stores, that's probabaly my most conservative view.

My prized possession. The great unfinished, almost unbeatable game.

Wow this is gross. I'm gonna wash it down with some MOUNTAIN DEW ™

I think there are knot tying competitions or something. Gotta have an event for the veteran knot tyers.

Oh God, you're one of them.

Hey bud, it's gonna be OK. Change your attitude and focus on making something of yourself, and maybe you too can learn to empathize.

That's not a question for me, and is beside my point.

There are people that make relationship decisions based on finances, but the idea that you asked someone out and they said "you don't make enough money" in rejection is one of those things that doesn't really happen.

More importantly, this gets tossed around by incels as reasons to view people as shallow and undeserving of respect. In reality it's likely they misunderstood the situation, or didn't think about why they themselves wouldnt be a great partner to be with.

The author is probably genuine and just wanted to make a joke, but that doesn't change that they reflected an incel idea here. That amplifies that voice, and that's what it looks like to me.

Whoops, having an opinion isn't a pitchfork, chill out.

Also you're correct, being female doesn't make you immune to incel culture. I should know, I've thought about it critically.

The notion that someone doesn't want to be with you because "you don't make enough money" is a common trope and is, more often than not, incorrect.

You know the saying "where there's smoke, there's fire"? I'm sure you can see smoke from that high horse.

Hmmm. This smells of incel bullshit.

So Epic games makes all that money because people want to teabag as their favorite characters?

Man we live in wild times 🙂
