I mean, you look at how things worked during the Ming dynasty, with men castrating themselves to have a chance at becoming palace eunuchs and getting some political power, with the whole exclusivity thing and Game of Thrones-like scheming, and you think hey, not much has actually changed since then.

Okay so I read the whole article because I was really curious and most of it is actually praising the game for having such well fleshed out Orcs that you kinda feel bad for dominating or humiliating/breaking them. Which, yeah, the game really went far to give all the Orcs distinct personalities, but also if you've played the whole thing you'll know that doing a lesser evil to fight the much bigger evil is sorta the point. You're not supposed to feel like a hero, but as a person making a tough choice to fight a bigger threat.
The last two short paragraphs are the author's incoherent babbling about this actually being a dystopic sci-fi scenario about us treating robots/AI badly – my guess is that it's just there to justify the existence of the article which is 90% describing the romp the author had with one Orc who always came back from the dead.
In short, the article is incoherent gibberish half praising the game and trying to be relevant in *some* way... so not unexpected from Vice.

And the answer to all such questions is "it's a cat, it does whatever it wants"
Tbh that's probably the answer to the meaning of life or something.

My favorite is when they do the drill thing (shake their head and brrreow at the same time)

Thanks, aynrandy. You have better ideas than your namesake.
(This is a joke mkay)

Eyyy just because someone's thicc doesn't mean they're a hoe!
(Jk good pun)

It actually makes perfect sense! It looks like one of those plastic thingies that you can shrink and expand. Nature is wonderful.

Nice indeed.
Thanks for making my feed at least a little sane looking.

Here's my two cents:
In the particular situation he was, he's not guilty. People were charging at him, and gunshots were fired in the air that made him believe he was fired at. Clearly self defense.
However! He's not innocent either. He crossed state lines with a weapon that wasn't his (bought for him by a friend for this specific occasion – does it qualify as illegal possession? Or should the friend be charged with something?), joined with a far right militia, the members of which were caught posting stuff on social media about how they're going there to shoot protesters (yes yes, guilt by association blah blah – but since it's so relevant to mention the background of his victims, it's also relevant to mention the background of his associates), and violated both the police curfew (addressed specifically to wannabe vigilantes like him) and the wishes of the store owners he wanted to "protect" – one of them specifically said he didn't want anyone playing hero for his sake.

Speaking of legendary figures, Borat did it too.
High fiiiiive!

Usually when someone comes to me and asks me to smell something, it's to determine whether it's still good to eat or should be thrown out.
A hyper sense of smell is both a blessing and a curse.

"A pumpkin man sits in a pumpkin house. Is the house made or flesh, or is he made of house? He screams, for he does not know."

Reverse your clothes? Pervy monster just wants to watch people undress.

I wanted to make a pun about the Justice League becoming the Social Justice League. But then I realized it's impossible for that steaming pile of shit to be someone's favorite movie.
Welp, my favorite movie already kinda is about social justice so that's no skin off my nose I guess.
