J.K. Rowling will not be arrested for comments about transgender women, police say
  • "this is why we must choose which is more important: the lives and safety of these trans people, or the comfort and "freedom" of people who want to see them eradicated"

    This is a strawman and a false dichotomy. Legislation restricting speech is overreaching and dangerous to a free society. I, and many others, do not trust the government with that kind of power. Today, it's trans people, tomorrow it's soldiers and police and politicians suddenly beyond critique, on pain of government punishment. Anyone can become a "protected class" when it's convenient to the ones writing the rules.

    Yes, it should be social only. If that society sees the speech as unacceptable, they'll react accordingly. If not, they won't. Society is capable of handling itself, even if it sometimes makes choices we don't personally agree with.

    There is no scenario where giving the government further power into the lives of citizens a good idea. Every time we've tried that, things have only gotten worse. The PATRIOT ACT all but demolished the 4th amendment. Something like this would be similar for the 1st.

  • J.K. Rowling will not be arrested for comments about transgender women, police say
  • "we have to decide whether their right to spout hatred is more important than trans people's right to safety, comfort, and wellbeing."

    In no uncertain terms, it is imperative that we do not allow any governing body to decide what we can and can not say. What is and isn't dangerous, what is and isn't hate, can not and should not be legislated, or we will be robbed of our voices lest dissent be considered dangerous, or hatred. It won't be long until calling the police "pig" is a hate crime and criticizing your leaders sedition.

    Shun them, malign them, discredit, and mock them publicly, but I can never see the good in giving the government the ability to punish someone for their speech, no matter how vehemently it goes against modern paradigm.

  • Dragons Dogma 2: To Dragon's Dogma 2 players on Steam
  • But the consumables are also purchasable with (easily) obtainable in game currency as well? This is like getting mad at a final fantasy game if they have a DLC that has 5 potions included, like they're not in the shop in the first city.

  • Dragons Dogma 2: To Dragon's Dogma 2 players on Steam
  • Quick genuine question, what features are "roped off"? I know it's not fast travel, cause that's extremely cheap (like 200 gold max) and can take you to places you haven't been yet. Is it the character editor? I belive that can be bought with RC in game though, which is a currency that's earned in game as well. Which features are sequestered in DLC?

  • And I'll vote for him again
  • It's not for no reason. It's because they have stuff we want. Whether that's resources, land, strategic locations, etc., that's the reason. Furthermore, we have the means to acquire those things we want. On the great stage, that's often justification enough.

  • Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions
  • Not only isn't it locked behind DLC, it's incredibly cheap, and unlike a lot of titles will take you to places you haven't even been yet. I'm talking about the ox carts, of course. Not only that, ferrystones are available for only 10k (money is relatively easy to come by). What exactly does the store have in it that is required, or even kinda necessary for convenience?

  • Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions
  • It sucks that micro transactions exist at all, but I've been playing the game and haven't even opened the store at all, and the game seems pretty good. Is there any actual negativity on the actual game play, or is all the negativity sorry about the micro transactions? Because if that's the only drawback, then that's not really that bad.
