Disgusting? Art is disgusting? Why? Because you don’t agree with it? the whole point of art is often to make a point. To show the viewer something they wouldn’t otherwise experience, or show them a perspective they didn’t know existed. Art has always had a message. That’s what makes it art.
Besides, maybe ND started with that scene to set the stage. Gamers wanted to know where the story begins. What’s Ellie been doing? How is she living? But to you it was all about the “d...
Sure, it’s a right to not like something, but if you “don’t like something” about a group of people, and that thing you don’t like about them is inherent to that group in a way that they can’t change it, then that dislike once acted upon, is called “discrimination”.
Btw I’m not disagreeing, I’m pretty sure there are those closed minded people who wont play something because there is a gay character in it. Unfortunately, for them, and the rest of us who have to live with the...
Keep your fanboy politics out of your fanboy gaming.
its not an agenda, some people happen to be gay. There is nothing wrong with showing them on screen.
That puts me in the holiday mood. (:
Gorgeous though, can’t wait!
So gonna pick this up.
Edit: Couldn’t befriend you, can’t find where it is.
Sure, I see your point of view, believe me. But in what you said is the problem I’m pointing out. I hope that you see that too. We are sitting here in judgement of an incident that we do not know much about. Innocent until proven guilty is the standard applicable to a court rooms where all the information is presented. We are neither judge, nor jury. We don’t even have all the facts. The ONLY thing we know is that someone said such and such, and he got fired. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop ...
I will. I’m planning on Tetris effect. It will be in two months time though, unfortunately, because I’m studying for a exam right now. Befriended you.
Let’s just say we disagree. I think a lot of people here are against the firing because of an underlying issue with “Political correctness” and the fact that this was a guy, saying offensive things to a woman, triggers those feelings. Some people are very unreasonable when this happens and that’s because they argue in a void about what is right/wrong, and sort of chuck out the fact that this is a real world situation with all sorts of variables that we dont know about. They simply want to use...
Which court case was it?
The proof is in the fact that:
1) he said something that sounds insulting (if intended to be)
2) he was fired for it,
3) people generally act rationally and don’t fire others for no reason.
Your argument on the other hand, seems to have less supporting facts.
To give you an analogy, imagine two people (you and I) are told that a certain soccer player was kicked out after tackling another player, and the referee who was closer th...
Just because we don’t know anything else, and so instead of making a presumption that people didn’t act rartionally, I presumed that people did acted rationally, which should be the more likely scenario.
Hahaha yes!
@Atanasrikard
Exactely. And look, it’s not just about what you say, it’s important to understand what was the contex. You said you yourself have a ‘mouth of a sailor’, that’s perfectly fine if your way of using it is not intended to offend. People can tell the difference. I’ve worked with people who had a foul mouth and yet they were the most pleasant, professional, and kind people. I’ve also worked with people who had a foul mouth for all the wrong reasons. There is a difference, an...
Yeah but context also includes how he has behaved during he rest of his employment with the company. For example, if he was this happy go lucky kind of guy who joked with people, or he was understood to be a polite individual who wouldn’t insult others, then I’m sure when he said that comment, nobody would have fired him. But if when he said those words, others saw malice in him, then guess what, you reap what you sow.
They are also doing The Judge.
That’s because we are looking at it in a vacuum. If this is indicative of what kind of person he was, then I can totally see a person being fired for it. Context is important. I’m pretty sure this guy wasn’t a pleasant person.
Right? I mean I think people go overboard by thinking it’s all about their right to say whatever they want. They forget that other people are actually having to work and live alongside these people. Guess what, you have the right to say whatever you like, but other people have a right as well, including the right to fire you if they get fed up.
Lol, those two comments were comical from my perspective.
