I will never understand being so angry at a fictional work to a point that you feel justified in threatening and harassing the people who are part of it… And also their relative and loved ones!
Well that’s basically what religion does, so I find it easy to believe
Amazing but more usual that one might think, it’s the same anger you can see in people that identity themselves with some other fictions like religion, nationalism, football teams, ideology, race, etc. When watching a movie you kind of temporarily turn off your disbelief to experience joy, sadness, anxiety etc but when the movie is over the healthy behavior is the recognition that everything was an acting. But with the fictions that I just described somehow the disbelief is never turned on, the critical thinking is canceled.
I just realized it’s Laura Bailey who voiced her! 😮 The Laura Bailey. Jaina Proudmoore! Wow!
There was a time window around 10-15 years ago where it felt like not a single AA-AAA game released where she didn’t have a voice role in. Absolutely legendary talent!
Sounds reasonable. /s
Days since a small subset of the gaming community embarresses the rest with their shitty behavior: 0
This will never not be zero
I’m not embarrassed. They pull this shit, they’re no longer part of the community.
No, not fans, psychopaths threatened the son.
I feel like articles like this promote more psychopaths. If they know that their threats are working and effecting their target they are going to keep doing it.
No, fan is correct. We just forget it stands for “fanatic”.
Fan was originally short for fanatic, but language changes over time and now it means someone who likes something or someone. These “people” do not like, they hate. They are not fans, they are fanatics. And even that term feels too kind.
You can’t deny their personhood, just because they’re horrible people.
Oh sure they’re people. Otherwise there’d be no legal basis for jailing them and throwing the key away, so that’s an important aspect.
Goodbye supposedly gradually derped off from ‘god be with you’ and that feels pretty different to me even when used for the same purpose
You can be both
Who wants to bet how long it takes for someone to post a victim-blaming comment that claims this is an exaggeration to detract from some other anti-consumer behavior of theirs?
This is really depressing, why go after an actor when the writing is at fault?

No it’s because the quality of the story drops dramatically at the end

The ending doesn’t make sense at all but ok. You do you.
Why does it not make sense?
Consider the average person’s intelligence. Then realize half (or so) are stupider than that.
It’s not like threatening the writers’ kids would have been reasonable either
It would have at least been more logical…
I wouldn’t expect logical thinking to be a strong characteristic in someone who’d threaten kids over a videogame.
No one said you would.
OK, so let’s assume that’s a good faith literal interpretation.
Let’s try it this way.
Yes, it possibly would be considered more logical, but people who threaten kids over videogames aren’t generally considered to be working with an abundance of logical thought.
I could however be wrong in this generalisation given I only have my experience to go on, if your experience leads you to believe people who threaten kids over videogames are not running with a logic deficit then your statement makes sense I suppose.
Yes, it possibly would be considered more logical, but people who threaten kids over videogames aren’t generally considered to be working with an abundance of logical thought.
You’re just repeating yourself.
“Logical” is not a binary position. It’s a spectrum.
So, not a good faith take then, oh well.
“Logical” is not a binary position. It’s a spectrum.
Agreed, not sure how it’s relevant but it seems we agree on something after all.
There’s a couple of actors in my province that had a hard time finding work after playing a certain role because people were mad at them personally and producers didn’t want to touch them with a 10’ pole!
Because writing has no face, you can’t show writing how much you hate it, because it doesn’t change and has no feelings. Meanwhile an actor does. It’s just stupid emotional stuff.
*me, looking up from wiping with SOIAF* What?!
