Very true. Black Flag and Syndicate are much more traditional AC games, and while Origins and Odyssey are incredible games, they are much more like an open-world RPG, not AC games.

Yay, people understand me! Yes, it's exactly that feeling of showing an amazing video to a friend.
You're exactly right about why people like those videos so much.

This is frankly why I can't take any claim of funsubstance having anything but a left-wing majority seriously. Because why would you deny the facts unless it would invalidate your personal beliefs?
With enough people the ratio will balance out to a positive, but the initial response is always negative. Makes you think.

The pro-life stance is that it is immoral to kill a human being. Now what they constitute to be a human being involves unborn children, a definition which I contest, but still. And their stance is that if people cannot afford children, they shouldn't be having them, which can be accomplished through other forms of birth control.
The part of the argument that is for personal responsibility and opposition to what they consider an immoral act, I can agree with. The part of the argument that I disagree with is their definition of what constitutes a human being, at which point we can define a fetus as one, and their position of outright banning things.
From a strictly libertarian point of view, even if they find the procedure wrong, banning it is an overreach of government power. It is not the role of the government to enforce morality.

But to give a Tl;dr:
The movie can have undertones of feminism, but it has to make sense, fit with the character and the story and either be the main focus of the movie (making it a niche product), or be a very subtle backdrop that does not preach to the viewer.
As you aptly pointed out, women are people too, so the fact that the character is a woman should not be a limiting factor or a justification for promoting an idea.

Secondly, how does feminism interfere with the movie. In Wonder Woman, the main aspect of it is that the protagonist/hero is female and is not considered a worthy combatant by the standards of that day. It makes sense, it doesn't take away from her character, and plays very little role in defining her. Captain Marvel on the other hand, has at least one scene that I am aware of that is referencing the same narrative, but in a more direct way. More blunt if you will. But the marketing and the actress, my fucking god. They were shoving the fact that it's a feminist movie down everyone's throats, and when people didn't like the presentation of the movie at first, accused them of being sexist trolls. Basically, it was preachy, self-righteous, did not add to the character, and annoyed the hell out of everyone who prefers their entertainment to not preach an ideology to them.

For one, don't support feminism. Support human rights. Feminism was a fight for rights, and the fight has been won.
Now, on the topic of movies and feminism. There are two main delineations between WW and CM in this regard. Firstly, the quality of the writing. Wonder Woman was a good movie on its own merits, with some missed potential in the storyline itself, and slightly retreading the ground of Captain America. The feminist aspect was barely there at all. Captain Marvel, as far as I heard (I haven't been able to watch the movie yet), is not as good a movie in terms of writingm and it's success has more to do with the Marvel brand.

Yeah, but have you seen many people make choices based on issues and not their political "tribe"? Online at least, there are so many examples of people not thinking, not giving a shit about their principles, doing anything to push their own agenda, etc.
.
I can present you a compilation of exactly what this meme is about, an array of white self-hating far-left people who do exactly that.
If you want a more accurate label, they are known as the "regressive left", "sjws", and "far-left".
.
I can however, acknowledge that saying "leftist" in most cases is not an accurate representation. Which is why I would use the above terms. But hey, you can always come to the centre. We got cookies and free speech.

Of course, at this point, the UK Conservatives have lost their principles, and are only running on the basis of preserving something they no longer understand. Which is why Labor pushes them around on almost any regard. They no longer have a moral foundation for their actions.
Which is why the Tories are full of remainers, and refuse to carry out the will of the people properly. And hence, seeing as both major parties failed their people, you can see the rise of alternatives, such as UKIP.
.
Anyway, I'll stop here before this rant goes any further, but you get my point.

So essentially the same class divide that existed in the previous political eras still exists today. Someone from the upper class culture who lost their wealth would still be recognisably upper class, by their manners, accent, manner of speaking, etc.
And someone from the lower class, even if they get rich, will still be culturally distinct from the established sphere.
You look at someone like Tommy Robinson, who came from the very bottom and is trying to reason with the establishment, and you see that they despise him not only because he goes against their will, but also because they are repulsed by the cultural aspects of the working class which he embodies.

This is actually a really interesting topic of debate, but mostly irrelevant to the US.
As far as I understand the formation of the UK political sphere however, the Conservative, or the Tory party are essentially the transformed remains of the aristocracy, with the history, education and lineage still running through it all. And the Labor party used to be, as all left-wing movements, the voice of the working class.
The reason why that is important in the first place, is that any aristocracy despises the lower class people at its worst, or considers itself to be smarter and more fit to rule at best. And since aristocracies tend to create insular upper class cultures, they become isolated and distinct from the common people.

On this point I agree with hammerhead, it would be WWI all over again, the country will break down in a revolution before they win, if even.
And that's even giving a very generous interpetation of it being 1 on 1.

As you can see I score pretty closely to conservatives and libertarians on the majority of the foundations. With the obvious exception for the Care foundation, becuase I am a really unempathetic person. And that's not even self-deprecation, I know that I am. And most other things fall in line with my expectations too.

Yeah, the test is pretty faulty in the way the questions are posed, and is rather unbalanced. So it's not too credible.
But you can also look into Jonathan Haidt's research into the moral foundations if you want to figure out more. His book "The Righteous Mind" is a great insight into the psychology behind politics, and he is still working in the area.
yourmorals.org if you want to participate in his research, plus see how people from different political leanings score on different aspects.
I think I should be able to post my results once the power outage is over. Australia's electricity is such shite sometimes.

Because we want to encourage confidence and self-improvement, and not being content with laying back and refusing to better themselves because they would have to leave their comfort zone.
Arrogance and entitlement are not attractive, that is all.
