    “She cleans the hideout and provides all the clean laundry disguises for the crew and cooks all their meals to make them strong and healthy for heists. She’s also really good with computers and technology in general because she’s a young, hot 18 year old and her partners didn’t grow up with-”

      I always hate when they say “pandering” as they are making demands on Twitter to be the ONLY group to be pandered too.

      Do they really need attention that badly? Divas…

    This is his bread and butter. I have to wonder how hollow he feels inside, doing the same thing over and over again, pandering to the same people who howl like hogs time and time again as he sings the same sad song.

    Or maybe he’s just too fucking stupid to realize how sad his life is.

      It’s probably one of those things where he’s gotten to the point that if he stops to consider his actions, it would destroy whatever sense of self-worth he has left. He’s gonna keep going because it’s the only way he can sleep at night.

      I’m unfortunately related to chuds like him and as far as I can tell they aren’t aware of any hollowness, even if it affects their relationships and overall quality of life.

      The freeze-gamer chud of that bunch could spend hours, hours, in previous GTA games doing nothing but running over random people and killing prostitutes with no other goal but seemingly insatiable chuckling at running over random people and killing prostitutes. Yes, he was also a huge Postal 2 fan.

    What are ya going to do? Complain to the MALE CEO of Rockstar that he, a MAN is too stupid to know what appeals to men?

    Also, GTA takes place in California, so if you’re going to whine about her being Latina, you’re a moron.

    Grr, gta is too adult. anybody familiar with any media with hackers for kids (like preteens) that isn’t total trash? I thought I found a book series on Amazon that seemed good but the author was a terf in support of JK.

        its honestly pretty subtle if you’re not an artist! AI art is famously bad with stylistic consistency, for example, the completely different shading styles of her forearm and her shirt, the line art suddenly not black/bold when we get to the pants, certain thinks that get you questionable looks if you do this professionally.

    Hmmm something tells me g*mers don’t want a woman being able to do anything better than them.

    thonk

    It’s not like they’d be any happier if she was a violent soldier or weapons expert.

    How insecure do you have to be to take offense at a fictional character being good at computers?

      Look, it’s simple

      She needs to be beautiful, but not too beautiful because otherwise I think she’s overly vain

      She needs to be smart, but not so smart she threatens my intelligence

      She needs to be funny, but not more funny than I am

      She needs to have political beliefs that align with mine

      She needs to be straight, not political

      She needs to be able to pass for white, not political

        I think the ideology implied in the post is that they must not be funny or intelligent, but merely quiet and agreeable, and that there is no such thing as “too pretty” and anyone saying so is a feminist trying to make women ugly. Rather, she needs to look like someone who models as a full time job but never talk about the work done for if and never or rarely be visibly doing that work (the work of keeping up that appearance, obviously she can’t be an actual model because then she is vain).

        America Ferrera’s speech in the Barbie movie sums it up nicely:

        spoiler

        "It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.

        You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood.

        But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line.

        It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

        I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know."

            It’s wild that some people have takes like that. It’s like yeah, art is made under capitalism and is definitely influenced by it, but it’s still worthwhile to engage with the art.

                My solution is just to watch it with the babies. Having kids cackle at some dumb jokes makes watching a kids movie fun, their laughter is infectious. I watched Avengers part whatever with my nephews and honestly had a good time even though it’s total slop. Or maybe it was one of the Thor movies. I honestly couldn’t give a shit. But the kids had fun so that’s all I cared about. Plus I got some popcorn and some Mike and Ikes.

                  That’s a good way to get around the usual Vincent AdultMan e-bullying nonsense for sure. Only the most hardcore and dedicated Vincent AdultMen would try to e-bully someone for watching something with their kids.
