They make $++ from the "really into it" crowd, so they're ok making $0 from you and the "mildly interested" crowd. No sweat off their sack.
I think 2 things are true here:
-
The government and billionaire media are really nipping at her heels, trying to turn anything related to her into a scandal. See the recent "drug scandal" which turned out to be a nothingburger (she was carrying CBD).
-
She has tankie-adjacent views, and quoting a guy who did a mass shooting in a civilian airport is in really poor taste. I can't defend it, "terrorism apologia" seems accurate here.
She added her own selected quote from Kozo Okamoto to the retweet: https://lemmy.world/comment/23021213
I think you're fooling yourself with that "just recounting history". If I tweet a Jordan Peterson quote next to a photo of him looking cool would you believe me if I said "oh I don't support him, I'm just quoting events that happened".
Your mileage may vary. I find the writing crude but I still enjoy the books as light reading.
My main (but not only) beef is that the narration of the dungeon (the "ai") talks like a 16yo boy. Lots of swearing, sexual allusions, whores and bitches, etc. Then the main character rolls his eyes or makes a comment to show disapproval. But it's still in the book, constantly, so you're supposed to find it funny.
No plot holes as far as I can tell, though.
Personally I like metroidvanias for the exploration. If a game tells me where to go (e.g. Metroid Prime 4) it feels like the game is playing for me, robbing me of the fun.
You might like platformers more than metroidvanias specifically?
I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.
I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.
I think I'm like a 3 or 4.
I remember some years back there was a "test" going around the internet where you were supposed to picture an apple moving off a table in your head, and then it would ask you "ok what did the person pushing the apple look like, what color were their clothes, etc." and I thought "oh shit do I have aphantasia?"
Later I realized that couldn't be entirely true since I do picture characters in books, although I always picture them as an actor or another character from a comic/show/movie, never as an original face.
