If that ain't proof microtransactions are a bane on society, then we're already too corrupt to care.

Fool. Just say the previous one was Bruce Wayne, you're Batman.

No, it's an always online single player MMO. Weird, but yeah.

It's actually named the "Mandalore effect", after the bounty hunter who'll shoot you with a blaster if you don't follow the Way.

I think it's more to do with its ongoing clash against Tencent. If they allow this to keep going, it may damage their chances on that side as well.

Shouldn't consider it completely unrelated. The comic's last panel says "I will not indulge in your poorly disguised fetish." That's a sex thing. So the comic opens that domain of discussion by making use of it. Nudes are another fetish, so bringing them up in the already approached avenue is theoretically within the general context.

Also, no offense, but when discussing someone's creations, unavoidably the person themselves also becomes a topic of discussion. Their past actions are brought up, in relation to the topic at hand or not. It is something we all do, whether we realize it or not.

Is it misogynistic? I'd say it borders on it as well. However, can we be sure this wouldn't have played out the same had said nudes were of a man instead of a woman?

But I think in this case, the user themselves and their history are what triggered a permanent ban instead of a lower punishment, which in my view shows that the comment itself wasn't really out of context after all.

That's a trap to have your phone unlocked and confiscated.

As per my understanding, Sweet Baby Inc was/is a DEI consultant that would advise on accurate portrayal of minorities in games that wished to have them represented.

How accurate they were/are or how much their input is being used, I can't say, however the easily swayed have taken to the idea they're an evil shadowy cabal that mind controls companies and has them add brainwashing techniques meant to bring about the downfall of western society (the MAGAts that is).
