Pepe is a fascist dog whistle
Some people actively go out of their way to defend pepe by saying they are just a "funny little frog" and so not worth the time to remove from our spaces.
The thing is though, if they were "just" a "funny little frog", then there would be no reason to spend that much effort defending them. Even if you disagree about something being fascist, if you think it is inconsequential you would stop using it as others ask you to or actively ban it. The fact that these people spend so much time defending it shows not only are they lying about it being "just a funny little frog", they know it is a fascist dog whistle and are protecting its usage as that
Do time give these people the time of day. Do not try to debate them. Fascists never cared about truth and are never going to.
re: video games
I don't mind open world games when the price tag is free like FF14 or Genshin, because I don't feel guilty for just exploring & not advancing
but I had decision paralysis the second the Skyrim plot started up for real, I had never played an Obsidian game & it was too much
I'm too afraid to even touch BOTW because I'm scared I'll skip over some fan-favorite scene by accident or soft lock myself
it's just too much for me, I play games as a fun escapism, not Homework Simulators
video games
slowly realizing I really enjoy and need fixed storyline games over open world games
which I kinda already knew, but I was watching an old polygon video about FFCC and he was complaining about the rail-like feeling of the game and I completely disagree?
you get to wander around the map with fun lil random interactions in between! (tl;dr no random encounter grinding other, hurrah!)
to me, someone who loves this game and has played it a lot, the levels feel more like hiking trails
tl;dr ran into a random reel or short where a Scottish (?) woman was telling the viewer not to feel weird about having an American accent and I was like,...
wait, is that a thing people were going to make fun of to my face?
I don't care about global internet memes, but now I'm over analyzing my accent thanks

like it's cool I'm out of the baby face zone, but apparently my appearance skipped the cool sexy 20 year old zone and jumped straight into the mom zone? ? ?
