shallow and lazy political commentary sounds right up gta's alley too.
It may actually be...
While its not, people act like it is. And there's always a likelihood you'll get banned for going against the popular views, even if your comment may have been slightly naive or ignorant, to which your given no chance to be educated or have a conversation because people are to busy yelling at you calling you names.
I'm not American or an advocate for Republicans, but I see very little Republican ideologies and views ever being discussed here. I just find it hard to believe that people now get put into two categories, being liberal or racist nazi. Humans are far more complex than red and blue and make up many opinions that can range based on so many factors.
Well you know which side I'm on, but I have to be honest, I'm getting tired of Taiwanese politics. Either way China is coming for us, in different ways.
Nope. Reality is massively outsatirising what the comedians can come up with right now. And things are moving so fast that any writing team would struggle to keep up with the re-writes.
When the policies on one side of the aisle negatively impact large amounts of people and somebody goes "I don't give a fuck, I'm so apolitical hurr durr", then that's either ignorant or malicious towards said people. I don't get how that's such a hard concept to grasp.
you appear to be Taiwanese. assuming you're an active voter, it's basically the differences between pan-green (DPP etc) and pan-blue (KMT etc) except instead of "chinese vs taiwanese identity" it's "white supremacy vs literally anything else"
So much for Rockstar games being about biting satire... A pathetic response.
??? Series 20 was entirely about Trump! They've beaten that horse so dead that even Trey and Matt are sick of talking about it!

Yeah I didn't take what he said as being centrist, to me it looks like he's saying you can't do satire when the left and right are both so militant with their views. Not that being 'extreme left' (aka normal) is as bad as being extreme right.
Although I will say you could definitely also read centrism as subtext, but it's not 100% clear to me
What's absurd is anyone expecting to be taken seriously when excusing themselves with a bogus 'both sides' platitude.
Do people in this thread not realize that, yes, the left too issues death threats over dumb shit all the time, or are we gonna ignore that like we always do?
Because everyone saying "HE SAID BOTH SIDES WHAT AN ASS" really seem to be ignoring what he means here...
Hell it's not just in games Dev or even satire of current governmental political stuff either.

Since this is about game Dev, I'd assume he's talking about stuff like doxing, death threats, etc.

Lol, he hopes his game is released in a calmer political climate so it won't be criticized as much. What a pathetic excuse of a human being. Rockstar use to welcome criticism of their games when they could use it to help their sales (see: Jack Thompson), but now that real critics might rightfully call out their bullshit they're just holding their heads low and hoping shit blows over instead of doing any actual reflection that would result in a change in the content because they either think their games need that shit to sell or they have such big egos that they're incapable of admitting that their precious art might be flawed. Fucking cowards.
Russian Agent.
You're a New York real estate mogul with deep debts to Russian oligarchs on a mission to become PotUS.
Imagine replying with words and not gifs, truly peak moderation.
Gamers are truly an oppressed people.
No no it's about gotchus and everyone here pointing this out is proving his point hurr.
imagine thinking every dumb thing said in here deserves a Reply Comprised of Words
Would you rather be on the site with the pedophile mod? Or the rapist owner?
If he is claiming that outrage culture will prohibit him from making a game, yes.
Imagine writing a post so terrible that it only deserves a gif response.
It took way more effort to find the appropriate gifs than just to type something.
Please tell me what you're seeing then. Because I haven't offered an opinion what so ever, just poked fun at the fact that every era thread devolves into people posting 'yikes'. It's a meme at this point.
So please, oh wise one. Enlighten me as to my own stance.
The fuck are you even on about? Nobody said anything about either of those, stop.
This hard line either-or way of thinking is the 'militant' attitude Dan is talking about
South Park literally just made good political satire on the gun control issue. Maybe don't side with the party of the neo-nazis and you won't have issues creating satire?
you have no idea what you're talking about
democrats had control of congress for almost 48 years straight starting in 1935
and before that republicans had it for almost 70 years starting in 1863
this frequent back and forth oscillation of power is a relatively new thing

I have no idea what that means. I stand behind what I posted.
He didn't.
I think people are getting hung up on "both sides" and thinking it means "both sides are equal."
It isn't true, and the right does a lot more horrible shit than the left does, and their horrible shit is worse - but that doesn't mean there aren't extremists...on both sides.
actually if I know SweetNicole at all she has those saved in a folder somewhere specifically for these situations
uh, yeah, there was an entire thing about it prior to that one incident with an admin and a shower
what are these things that would be "deemed" as a micro transgression? And how, if what he's saying is actively wrong in every way (which you say as much with not being "as extreme") can you not disagree?
Yes, that's exactly what I said, word for word.
Imagine thinking I'm angry and not just stating something, peak reply.Imagine being this angry over a animated picture.

You don't have to be American to see that one side is running over people with cars, is seperating children from their parents, is speaking out "muslim bans", has supporters of white ethno-states among them and the other side simply isn't having any of that shit. So anyone going "both sides" is a huge piece of shit. It's really simple.
You make it sound like political satire is only good if it's satirizing the side you dislike.
I got yelled at for asking about his both sides comment and still have no idea whats going on.
Im not really following American politics besides the usual dumb shit Trump shouts out from time to time.
No shit. There have been conservative and progressive extremists for thousands of years.
We all know gta is south park lvl satire, but people are tired of moderates aiding white supremacy, it's not difficult to understand in a climate that has emboldened it to a large degree and is largely swept under the rug in favor of "oh russia" narratives. It sucks for ppl to get yelled at on an internet forum about video games but it's really low stakes in comparison
