I’m going to have to give this one some time to formulate a proper Endorbic Rage rant.

Games journalists these days. They don't even play games. They're just hacks trying to force their SJW agenda crap into everything. Check out this interview with Tim Willits about Rage 2 for instance: Interview: Tim Willits On Making Rage 2 What Rage Should Have Been Specifically this part: TSA: So, Klegg’s an interesting one… I’m assuming that he’s running for President or something? Tim: See? It’s so funny. All of you Europeans… I’ve never got that question from an American journalist. So no, we are not political! I promise you we are not making a statement. [leans in to the mic] We are not political in the game. TSA: But you are taking the piss out of him. Tim: No we’re not! Klegg was actually designed before he became president. […] Our writer in Stockholm came up with him, but no he’s not a Donald Trump reference, I promise. TSA: OK, well he’s clearly Trump, but maybe not Trump as President? He’s even got the same hair! You can’t deny that. Tim: [laughs] I’m saying we’re not political. We have a Trump on our board of directors. The president’s brother is on the Zenimax board of directors! TSA: [laughs] So maybe that’s why you’re not allowed to be political? Fine. Typical "progressive" response to their worldview being challenged. This journalist asks a pointed question and receives a response in the negative. So then after multiple attempts at rephrasing the same question and continuing to get a negative response he just assumes that the only reason he isn't getting the affirmative answer he's looking for is because the person he's asking is being coerced to not give them the answer he wants. Facts don't care about your feelings.

Woman's "Humiliating" Job Interview Goes Viral After She Calls Out CEO's Behavior Millennial just isn't cutting it as a good definition for this generation. How about the Pansy generation? Actually I think this CEO may be on to it. The Underachiever generation sounds about right. People are calling this woman brave. Brave for what? Crying at the bus stop? Running to social media to bad mouth the company? If you don't like how the company presented itself then don't take the job. If you think the interviewer behaved inappropriately take it up with that company's HR department. What did she do here besides draw attention to herself to circle up the outrage mob to give her some pity party aggrandizement? She had the gall to complain that he was looking through her publicly posted social media. Well you're making your life available to the world so it's definitely fair game for an employer to use it against you when considering whether or not to hire you. Do you not use a companies visibility to determine whether or not it's somewhere you want to work? All she's done is put a target on herself for future employers. If I was a hiring manager and did a simple Internet search on her what's going to come up?

If I was a hiring manager and did a simple Internet search on her what's going to come up? What does her being a "young woman" have to do with this? Can she prove that he does not interview all men and women (regardless of age) the same way, cause I bet she can't. Other than that statement, her letter declining the job was fine but it does not belong on social media or the news.

‘Mary Poppins,’ and a Nanny’s Shameful Flirting With Blackface White guilt morons are the worst. The guy who wrote this tripe is an Associate Professor of English at Linfield College in Oregon, because of course he's a west coast academic. There is a scene in the film where Mary and the Bank's children hang out with a bunch of chimney sweeps, who are dirty and covered in black soot because they clean chimneys for a living. Mary rubs a bit more soot onto her face after getting dirty traveling up the chimney. So of course this is black face. WTF? Black face was putting on dark makeup to caricature black people and culture. Mary Poppins dabbed on soot to fit in with chimney sweeps. Nobody was making fun of black people. The fact that the guy has to dig into racial stereotyping in the books, which honestly have pretty much nothing to do with the Disney movies btw, to try and make his point just shows how little of a real point that he has. You have to be a truly unhinged idiot to think anyone who watched Mary Poppins dab soot onto her face thinks she was doing it to make fun of black people.

The author's clearly overreacting here, to the point where he's trying to manufacture controversy. Associate Professor of English? Even more embarrassing that he would reduce his so-called academic smarts to coming up with social justice, race-baiting tripe like this. Every word in this article makes about as much sense as a flying boat.

Gucci pulls 'blackface sweater' from stores after complaints Okay. Other than its just damn ugly what's the deal with this sweater. Because the material is black? Is it the stupid mouth cut out? If the sweater were white would we be hearing any "outrage?" I'm guessing this whole thing is caused by half a dozen Twitter posts that are getting flame fanned by the MSM as though they're representative of a large majority of the consumer population. Businesses are such pansies any more caving at the first inkling of bad press. Nobody at large gives a rats ass about this. Most people won't buy the thing because it's hideous and its $890, not because they're stupid enough to think its racist. So this ugly sweater is inherently racist and therefore wrong. But this overt shit is totally okay, right SJWs?

I Wish 'Resident Evil 2' Let Me Be a More Compassionate Hero I could tell everything I needed to know about the author of this piece just by reading it. White, female, LGBTQLMNOP, Leftist, anti-gun, full of white guilt, lives in NYC or San Francisco, not a gamer, resist SJW. Did 5 seconds of Google search on her and... YEP. I was 100% spot on in my assessment of her. She lives in Brooklyn so I even nailed that. Her whole premise is that she's basically mad that your characters in Resident Evil 2 aren't EMTs. It's like she completely missed the point of what the game is and then just complains that it's not the game SHE wanted it to be. She even admits that her knowledge of the original Resident Evil 2 revolves around reading about it in a Tips and Tricks magazine back in 1998 and playing a few minutes of it on a friends Playstation. So OF COURSE she's an expert. The kind of game she's asking for sounds like Walking Simulator Escort Mission: The Game. Screw that noise. Again 2 seconds of research tells me everything I need to know about what informed her opinion of this game. She believes herself a savior of humanity (on multiple fronts) but mostly because she volunteers as an EMT and hates Donald Trump. She considers boxing one of her hobbies. And she has a very big DON'T NEED NO MAN complex. So in her mind she's a walking breathing badass warrior woman who kicks ass and takes names everywhere she goes fighting social injustice along the way. All I see from her Internet presence is a lonely cat lady who thinks she knows everything about everything, working as a "journalist" writing SJW trash pieces for outrage clicks from the "progressive" crowd about video games, a topic she seems to honestly know very little about. And of course, OF COURSE... the game is RACIST!!! "Early on, protagonists Claire and Leon hear a radio message instructing all citizens to head for the station. That notion is wild, the police station as fortress/safe haven is laughably naive (particularly for people of color). It certainly was in the 90s as well, and really, when has policing in America ever actually been about keeping neighborhoods safe as opposed to keeping a racist status quo up and running?" This same idiot was already called out for calling the game The Red Strings Club transphobic, not realizing that one of the three developers of the game is transgender. Then when she was called on it, instead of apologizing for her uninformed idiotic critique she used her own ineptitude and wokeness to bitch that she was being attacked by "her own community" and actual Nazis. ACTUAL Nazis. Nazis.

Respawn Confirms Some Apex Legends Heroes Are LGBTQ Look at that. Comments Disabled. Hmm... wonder why GameInformer would do that. Could be this bullshit has something do with it: Can't have dissenting opinions now. Can't have an actual dialogue. Can't allow anyone to say they don't agree. You're either for fair and open exchange of ideas whether you like the other person's position or not, or you're just into only hearing what you want to hear and everyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, ageist, ableist, bigot.... REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Perfect example of phrasing an opinion as though it's an absolute truth: "These characters representing other types of people in the world is good, it harms absolutely no one, but it gives people who never get representation something to latch onto. There's literally no reason for anyone to be upset by this." You can't just say "I hope everybody can just agree this is overall a good thing" and then shutdown all dialogue. Confirmation bias through a lack of communication is not truth. It's like you presented your position on an issue to a group and then ran to sit in the corner with your back to everyone and your fingers in your ears loudly screaming LALALALALALA so you don't have to hear opposing views.

Got to love unctuous asshats on the Internet who just think they know you because you don't agree with everything they have to say. I made a comment on a video about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal, specifically speaking about the problems with the plan she's laid out thus far.
The original commenter I was responding to said: "She has high goals for making the world healthier and more efficient, and you see that as something to hate? What's going on here?"
Because OF COURSE, calling out the flaws in her plan, the complete lack of financial planning aside from we'll just tax it all from the rich and print more money when that's not enough, and the absolutely unreasonable time frame she's applying to her idea means I must hate the ideas of the end goal.
So my response was: "She has ridiculous goals for making the world healthier and more efficient. She also seems to have the intellect of a walnut so it’s not too much of an ask to say we really should be looking for goals that are actually obtainable and an implementation plan coming from someone who can come up with reasonable legitimate ways to fund and execute that plan."
Which prompted a third party to weigh in. This guy was absolutely dominating the thread with his opinions too. He easily had three replies to everyone else's one. And he is drinking so deeply from the Kool-Aid that his screen name is even koolaid. So based on that one reply he came up with this gem: "oh yeah, your definitely a UFC watching, US flag in front yard, support the troops saying, college kids are stupid thinking, American dream believing, bumptious son of a gun aren't ya?"
Well lets see... let me unpack that with my own response.
Wrong on all counts, save supporting our troops. You don't have to agree with every political and military action America takes in the world to support the men and women that protect and serve our country. Only a dick doesn't support our troops. I don't watch any professional sports. I don't own a US flag. I have a college degree myself and am making every effort to ensure that my kids have the ability to attend college. As for the American dream it's what you make of it. Nothing is guaranteed. Dude has some nerve calling anyone bumptious. Nice five dollar word coming from someone who is clearly very pompous himself given his comments throughout that thread. But yeah, he totally has me pegged. LOL.
Follow up: So asshat couldn't leave well enough alone either, of course.
He comes back with this non-apology: "ok, that was a bit harsh. I should of said nationalist supporting, instead of support the troops saying."
So when I called him out for being a presumptuous twat and thinking he knows everything about me because we don't agree on this one issue instead of backing off or apologizing for letting his own biases dictate his perceptions of me he doubles down. He had multiple follow up posts after this where he started spouting conspiracy theory crap about the US military being run by Exxon Mobil and how the US doesn't want green energy solutions because we're too invested in our regime change efforts. He praised China for their investment into green energy. And while China currently spends $3 to every $1 we do on this type of initiative they damn well should be since they output more CO2 than the US and EU combined. But somehow in this guys mind the US is actively working to go backward because China has to spend more playing catch up to get on par with Europe and the US. WTF?
Then he said the US needs to model our mass transit system on Japan. You know, Japan. A nation smaller than the size of California with about 1/3 of our population. I know it's tough for people who've only ever lived on the coast or in a metro area to wrap their head around this but it's not reasonable for roughly 3/4 of the country to take the bus or the train everywhere.
Then he felt the need to call me a parasite for pointing out these facts.
