[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9107506, member: 6704184"] I didn't misunderstand anything, I replied sarcastically to a specific post, and you replied as if I was the person who wrote the article you were mad about. Okay. The idea that playing a roleplaying game with progressive politics is performative and somehow means that the people playing it aren't also doing anything useful is laughable. Cool, now explain what that has to do with my sarcastic reply to gibster about their silly notion that anti-corpo pro-environmentalist sentiment has somehow been dominant at any point in our lifetimes, in spite of the apocalyptic evidence otherwise. THat's a bit unfair to Generation "Chain Myself To This Tree" X, but whatever. Most people don't actually understand that big industry defining companies are nearly always bad for society in the long run, don't get that the companies that run today's economy are literally choking our society to death along with the planet, and certainly don't understand just how much of the pollution and waste that is responsible for the situation we are in is industrial or industrial adjacent. Any climate or enviromental activism that isn't serious about fighting the modern day robber baron oligarchs is ineffective activism. Also seriously take two seconds to consider that you just said that thinking stops people from doing. Thats' got to be the most ludicrous thing I've ever seen someone say online, and I have a twitter account, used to frequent tumblr's political community, and have been online since at last 1998. WHich is an absurd rewrite of history, unless you completely pretend the old game doesn't exist. I get that that's the goal, but...yeah, they knew they were going to get pushback from people who are going to feel invalidated by the decision. Those fans should chill out and go touch grass while grass still exists to be touched, but that's a different conversation. Eh, I get the appeal of what you propose, but I also get that they wanted you to rely on your community in this game, which is right and good as a goal, at least. More media should present efficacy with any scale at all as requiring the help of community. Speaking of that era, this reads like a script from a show or movie from that era with that one character that rants self-righteously at other characters all the time, without actually saying much. That's every generation since the dawn of civilization, at least, but sure. It's also a very specific point of view that centers the people with the most privilege as the representatives of each generation. I didn't see any ire in this thread until certain posters started get feisty because someone made a sideways comment about the game they're excited about. Re-using the name makes such comparison necessary, as well. It would be completely ridiculous to not compare them. [/QUOTE]
