Context makes him come off worse and his "questionable" (being generous) comments are numerous
This is the best thread of the year lolHey, I just want to know, was Ubisoft's samurai game considered a success, or a flop? There was 125 pages. Can you just let me know what happened with the game?
What game?Hey, I just want to know, was Ubisoft's samurai game considered a success, or a flop? There was 125 pages. Can you just let me know what happened with the game?
Good game. Did well but not as well as it needed to. Which is a shame. Most fun I had playing AC since Black FlagHey, I just want to know, was Ubisoft's samurai game considered a success, or a flop? There was 125 pages. Can you just let me know what happened with the game?
Think you posted in the wrong thread budAll the racism claims against Kirk came from him saying he wouldn't trust a black pilot if there is DEI involved in hiring.
He wasn't saying pilots are inferior because they were black. He was saying black pilots hired due to DEI would be less qualified.
Mmhmm. Just like his comments about four black women lacking "brain processing power" which is ol' timey racism and disingenuously twisting their words where I believe Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee mentioned being the recipients of/only here because of Affirmative Action as if they're saying they weren't qualified when what they mean is it allowed them the opportunity to get an education and flourish is fucking insane. Black pilots aren't less qualified because of DEI, DEI is just a way of enforcing Affirmative Action and from what I understand it primarily benefits white women anyway.All the racism claims against Kirk came from him saying he wouldn't trust a black pilot if there is DEI involved in hiring.

You defending this dude is uh, real interesting bud. If those are the hills you wanna die on you do you. Also, wrong thread.
No I'm not and what I said is accurate. I also specified that he said that about four black women, read the post you're quoting. I rewatched it before my first response.Uhmm yea you're mischaracterizing what I'm saying, then trying to shame me on some morality bullshit instead of actually examining what exactly was said.
Social media was claiming this is what Charlie Kirk said.
"Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot."
That was not what he said. This is the real quote.
"If we would have said three weeks ago [...] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're comin' out and they're saying it for us! They're comin' out and they're saying, "I'm only here because of affirmative action.
Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."
This was in RESPONSE to people like Sheila Jackson Lee and Joy Reid openly and publicly stating they benefitted from affirmative action.
Rep. Shirley Jackson Lee, D-Texas saying:
"I rise today as a clear recipient of affirmative action, particularly in higher education. I may have been admitted on affirmative action, both in terms of being a woman and a woman of color, but I can declare that I did not graduate on affirmative action."

Personally i always felt its not "wokeness" itself thats the problem , its that writing usually fucking sucks on average
Like heres some succesful stuff that can be considered "woke"
Expanse was diverse as fuck with characters of every race and sex yet S1 to S4 were peak goat level scifi and show overall was good
Arcane has female lead who is a lesbian and show is one of the best in recent years.
Original alien trilogy with ripley as main lead, strong female character written well
Sarah connor in T2,once again strong female lead written well
No one would have problem with galadriel in ring of retards if it was same character as in Lotr trilogy, but writing sucks so character is a moron and whoever writes it should be thrown into fires of mount doom
The wokerati always make this false appeal of Alien would be considered woke these daysIt’s the demographics on screen that’s the problem.
Go dig up the prey thread. It’s like a dozen pages of bitching about the female lead before the flick even dropped.
Ripley yelling “get away from her” would probably be a meme ripping on the flick if those movies dropped today.
People bitching about woke stuff are more annoying than the too woke stuff at this point
Didn't watch F4 but Superman was good and pulled a good profit.The wokerati always make this false appeal of Alien would be considered woke these days
Pathetic, desperate stuff
Mind you, they were desperate to claim Superman and F4 as woke ahead of their release, before they failed to turn any significant profit
"Good"Didn't watch F4 but Superman was good and pulled a good profit.

Na.It would be. People have begun screeching about movies that have only dropped 30 teasers at this point just based on casting demographics. It’s become a game of who can overreact the fastest to nothing which is more annoying than actual woke stuff
