Ok so I can’t read the actual whole article because apparently it’s paywalled but from the bit I was allowed to read (and the writing style seems to pad out quite a bit so it never actually gets really to the point) seems to indicate that they are just trying to hit targets which is why they’re not checking people.

The army actually puts the effort into make sure they don’t hire psychos. You want people who will follow orders and not just go off and do their own thing because they like power.

Closing twitter down would not stop people who want it from using GenAI to make images.

I feel like you didn’t read my previous comment. That is not an excuse. The problem is that they are hosting the content quite happily without doing anything about it.

Really?

I’m confused what this was supposed to achieve.

I have to wonder who decided that large breasts are supposed to be attractive. Like when did we have that conversation?

It’s not like people are out there having enlarged shoulders. So it’s not just the bigger is better.

I’m convinced that plastic surgeons just told these women that men find unrealistically large breasts more attractive simply because breast enlargement is an easy thing to do and it’s a quick win for them.

At least half of those are definitely terminators in rubber skin suits. They’re clearly not human.

There are more attractive prehistoric bug mummies.

What is with these people. Have they headbutt bees nest?

These images need saving for prosperity just in case future generations doubt the craziness of the MAGA loons.

That’s a lot of interaction for a boycott, and I’m sure they would just ban your IP at some point. Of course there’s always ways around that, but how much effort do you want to put into this boycott?

The biggest impact you could have on them would be for everyone to go over to Steam OS which I don’t believe they support. It would be hilarious if they were forced to add support in order to stay relevant.

I don’t think anything else would have much of an affect, because like I said their target demographic are kids, who don’t really pay attention to this stuff.

The difference here is that the content is explicitly illegal in almost every jurisdiction in the world. And it’s not as if Twitter (I’m not calling it x) is a niche platform that regulators may not have yet noticed.

It’s a huge company that’s doing very illegal things very much out in the open. That might fly in fascist land USA but I don’t see why the rest of the world should put up with it.

Not that there’s an awful lot to boycott.

I’m trying to think what the last majorly popular title they released was that wasn’t aimed at kids. Possibly gears of War about a decade ago.

At this point I don’t think I’m boycotting them as much as forgetting they exist.

For some reason Epic studios just let Tim Sweeney say the most insane things. If I was a shareholder I’d want someone to take his phone off him.

Shows what you know about Satanists.

Satanists don’t believe in Satan. They call themselves Satanists because it annoys the Bible bashes who likes to hide behind religion as an excuse for being terrible people. You know, the types that like to say “we are good Christian conservative god-fearing family” and leave you to fill in the missing pieces.

Satanists advocate being good people and helping each other precisely because there isn’t a god to enforce this stuff. Satanists aren’t Christian and they don’t believe in God.

I honestly don’t think anyone does listen to him. He’s just shouting into the void at this point.

I would be genuinely interested how many industry professionals actually bothered to subscribe to him vs other studio bosses. I’ve never heard of him post anything industry related, it’s always just ranting like this.

Generally speaking if people go out of their way to tell you how wonderful they are it’s usually because they’re not.

Look at Ellen, and Oprah.

You know Tim Sweeney really could do with having his social media access taken away from him. It’s not like he has anything of value to contribute.

He should stick to just announcing Epic releases and otherwise just shut up.

If China has managed to do something that scientists genuinely thought was impossible why are there several nuclear fusion research facilities all over the planet? If it’s impossible that seems like a bad use of resources.

I think maybe that scientists thought it was entirely possible, and that’s why they were trying to do it.

It’s impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he’ll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.

It’s like all those times people try and claim that Coca-Cola can dissolve teeth and is therefore really bad. Ok, then let’s do a control test where you do the same thing with other drinks, including freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, and gin.

Because the thing is I know for a fact that the tooth will dissolve in the orange juice and the milk but not in the gin. So I guess gin is good for you then.

Stupid experiment, stupid conclusion

I had it in my head that he had cancer. And blamed that on McDonald’s.
