  • There is a difference between being an anarchist and being an egotistical foreigner who goes into a foreign land, tells the locals they’re all stupid and backward, and that his own culture is better and they should follow it instead.

    You’re arguing in favour of the settler-colonist perspective of “These brown savages should adopt my Christianity!”

    You’re only saying “fuck laws” now because you backed yourself into a corner. You didn’t have that opinion before. That’s also why you have this lie about me defending cops and laws instead of what I actually said, which was about the people of an island having their culture flagrantly disrespected by an outsider who thinks he’s better than them.

    Anarchism is not about no laws or society at all. That’s a very FOX News view of it. It’s also very much not about imposing your own values and judgement upon other cultures and people who you choose not to respect.

    You don’t know what “niche audience” means if you think these two games sold and are played by similar audiences as, say, Anno games.

    You’ve also got selection bias twisted considering you’re using it to say a few comments in here must represent the truth because they say something you like.

    What you heard about Cyberpunk must be from some real haters because, of all the things you could accuse about its story, boring and unoriginal are not it.

    If anything here explains the state of anything, it’s how easily gamers will believe nonsense as long as it fits their preconceived notions and gets their anger up.



  • So what? Your country isn’t Bali, Indonesia. The fact of the matter is that this is the law of that land, and nobody is exempt just for having strong opinions against it.

    Like what’s your point here? You should be able to go to another country, tell them that you don’t like their laws, and enjoy some kind of immunity as a result? That they’ll just suddenly go “Hey, this foreigner is right, we should totally change our culture and laws to match their opinion!” If you can’t abide by such laws in such a country then don’t go to that country. It’s that simple. What you don’t do is go anyway and then openly insult and defy them, and then get upset when the place with extreme laws doles out harsh retribution.

    Like them or not, extremist or not, these are their laws and this guy openly flaunted violating them:

    Zgraggen boasted in Instagram posts that he had defied restrictions that prohibit residents and visitors from leaving their homes or accommodations except for emergencies.

    In video clips shared online, Zgraggen smiled at the camera and described walking to a beach during the observance. In one, he called the tradition “crazy” and used an expletive.

    Definitely not respectful of their laws. Tourists are probably given quite a large leash too, this guy was being downright insulting and hostile to them. He fucked around, and now found out.














  • It was, on me. And it happens because assholes like you normalize abuse and defend aggressors instead of victims.

    This is not about you, and that’s weird as hell that you’re saying you’ve been traumatized and violated by reading a story of an old man getting beat up for patting a child on the head without asking first. This is a next-level martyrdom complex.

    If you think I’m “normalizing abuse” by taking issue with your idea of abuse as irrational, ridiculous, and downright stupid, then you can follow through with what that means for your assertion that I’m normalizing abuse.

    It does, the child’s consent was disregarded and her personal space was violated. This is unacceptable.

    A pat on the head is not a punch to the face, the same way that tripping and falling because someone accidentally bumped into you is not the same as having someone break your ankles with a golf club. Flattening two very different actions to a common denominator in order to treat them both as extremely as possible is irrational and, interestingly, a highly aggressive and hostile act in and of itself.

    I’m still not convinced you realize you’re literally trying to defend abuse.

    Fuck off.

    A pat on the head is not abuse. I question your notions of what abuse is if you’re throwing around that term so liberally. I challenge you to go to a group of abuse victims and tell them that an old man patted you on the head so you’re equally as aggrieved and traumatized as someone who experiences domestic violence that leaves bruises and black eyes.

    Then we’ll see who has to fuck off.
