    Dude was a completely different person before his mom died

    10 years ago I’d even going as far as saying he was a pretty good role model, crazy what he’s like now

    I know people hate his followers and him, but there is a piece to this people forget.

    These people are real, and they are out there. He curates his audience to be echo chambers for these mindsets. We need to speak to our friends, family, and neighbors, about this stuff so that they can’t just fester in these toxic environments. It’s an uphill battle, but writing the people on the fringes of these groups off just causes them to spiral into their own circles and get more intense.

    We don’t want people following him because he isn’t worth following. Care for people and show others that your community is welcoming to all and they’ll lose their power. There are bigger problems we can unite against that we all want.

      Probably best to nix that word from your vocabulary - it’s derived from pre-genetics race theory and was one of the primary groupings along with “Caucasoid” and “Negroid”. It was basically exclusively used to refer to people who were considered “lesser than”, and that racism carried forward into it being used as a descriptor for people with Down syndrome.

      It’s a slur. Full stop.

      From my time at 4chan I’m guessing about 10% of them are joking, and they naively assume everyone else is

      This! Unfortunately I have a friend that is a fan of him. I just spoke to him on the phone on if he saw the extended trailer and he told me he is refusing to play the game. He may get it when it is on sale, but because Lucia is a playable female character, he will not be looking forward to playing it at all.

        Will she control differently or something?

        Its GTA just go to the barbers give her a baldy and youll never know the difference. You spend the entire game in a car or looking over the shoulder anyway.

          Yeah, I’m not interested in the game, but I’m way less interested in games where I can’t play a woman without good reason (normally, that the player character is a defined character)

    I watched the extended look. There was a very clearly enunciated “what the fuck” about 18 seconds into the video, so there’s that. I guess that’s not enough or something?
