    Yeah I’d forgotten about what a dud GTA 4 was. Not just the driving, the faux-HDR or whatever you call it really did not work on my TV so it kept alternating between too dark to see anything and everything washed out white. Basically made it unplayable. I’m sure it looked amazing on the developers’ high spec LCD monitors, but it was ass on my CRT.

    this is literally what intersectionality is about. Right-wingers make fun of “black disabled lesbian basket-weavers”, but if you do happen to fall into more than one marginalised group the problems aren’t just added, they’re multiplied.

    There’s the story of the company who claimed to be perfectly equal rights on race and sex, because they hired equal numbers of men and women, and also a representative portion of Black and White people. But women weren’t hired for the factory floor, and Black people weren’t allowed in the customer-facing roles, so if you were a Black woman then you weren’t getting hired. Likewise many university LGBTQ+ societies have ongoing drama around the fact that they tend to get run by gay men organising events and activities around gay male culture, alienating the entire female membership.

    Once you become aware of how common things like this actually are, then comments insinuating you should only be allowed to pick one come across as, let’s say not great.

    Spectacularly missing the point of why bigotry is bad in the first place.

    Telling someone they’re in “bigotry debt” over something that someone they’ve never even met did 200 years ago, and therefore fair game for pig-ignorant abuse, is as close to textbook racism as you can get. You have absolutely zero moral high ground here.
