CONTEXT!
The Dragon Age vidja games are as popular and mainstream as it is possible to get for gaymer straggots, but unfortunately just like subreddits getting too big, this would invite the lowest common denominator of peeps.
Additionally, the Dragon Age games, similar to Bioware games like Mass Effect have became famous for their relationships you can form with allies and NPCs in game, ESPECIALLY gaaaay relationships 
Back in 2008-2009 this was an especial novelty (especially pregay marriage legalization in Burgerland), but as the years went into the mid 2010s, and became ever increasingly more popular with Tumbler crowd, despite the Romances with allies and NPCs being only a small fraction of the overall intent and collective experiences of these games, especially the 3 first Dragon Age games.
So many tumbler types would simply spam fan forums or subreddits with gay 
romance art, sometimes to the detriment of the community, because the romances of these BIOWARE games were supposed to be the cherry on the top of a particularly great dessert - it was supposed to be a reward for all the hard effort of defeating bad guys and orc-zombies and saving the day - like the 1980s American Hollywood action hero getting the girl at the end being satisfying, especially if we liked the character/actor.
It was never the main meat or main attraction of the games, even if I personally really liked them, and think they are best romances in all of gayming (not high bar i know but still). My issue and for many others, the Tumbler types would end up derailing forum conversations or group personalities of subreddits into the typical woke/shitlib mentality that we know of today.
For example the female Custodes and coomer menace which had invested the main 40k subs recently past 6 months - in a vacuum theoretically, you can have both discussions about the hidden lore, combat strategies, the behind the scenes development stories, fanart, and then romance/ fav companions discussions. But i have seen time and again how the group personality of a special interest group or hobby fandom can get warped over time if a specific demographic dominates discussion, and this is even BEFORE peeps of that mentality get into power of moderation in places like the /r/dragonage subreddits.
Many tumblerinas would never even play or even finish the games, and would hyper focus on the gayness romances, and apply their PRESENTISM modern contemporary politics, as if that was all their was to the Dragon Age setting.
And subsequently the Dragon Age games from 1 to 3 (from Origins to Inquisition), would also become notacibly more liberal with each subsequent installment. I'll give some examples just now-now. As newer devs came in to replace the veterans, and the developers more focused upon this new vibrant demographic.
This is important to realize because the original Dragon Age Origins was aimed at sweaty fantasy nerds from yesteryear, people like me - people who read shit like Conan the Barbarian and Sword and Sorcery tier fantasy from the 1930s - 1980s. Before Marvel transformed from nerd culture to mainstream midwit culture, so too did stuff like DnD transform from something squarely enjoyed by sweaty nerds and neckbeards, to fricking woke tumblerinas! 
DA Origins is possibly the LAST game we will ever get like this, in terms of the tone and themes of writing, which has a similar bleak and ruggedness similar to 1980s dark fantasy or 1930s-1980s Conan the Barbarian bleakness. The events and world was bleak and grimdark, but the heroic actions of our protagonists were that much brighter and selfless and heroic in comparison, like candles in pitch darkness!
Additionally for both the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, the 1st game in their respective trilogies, were the least played (by gaymer normies/tumblerinas), because they were both the most technical, difficult and required the most gaymer understanding of mechanics.
Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2, transformed from a full on 3rd person RPG 
to a 3rd person action game 
And again, for me personally I greatly enjoyed both games! Both were excellent in their respective genres, but for genre-cucks 
like myself the fact remains that action games get much more attention and games within that genre, cuz a larger audience.
A similar thing occurred in Dragon Age 1 - Dragon Age 2, though not nearly as dramatic. DAO was a full on Ream-Time-pause RPG, my favorite kind, but the fact remains that just like the RTS (Real Time Strategy) golden age of 1997-2009, the genre was in reality always for a niche small audience, they sold, but would never sell Call of Duty tier numbers, they were simply too difficult or technical for many. (Even though we have a RTS revival renaissance for the Age of Empires series past 4 years)
DA2 would become much more action oriented, with enemies being divided into classes you were meant to overcome with cross-class combos from your fighting team; additionally the animations would become flashy and action like, and you could legitimately actually play the game on the easiest difficulty, without ever pausing the game or controlling your companions as if it was an Action game.
Yet DA2 was still a full on Real-Time-Pause game, and I personally really enjoyed it.
Though the writing remained strong, the games would more also liberalize subtly. This would throw off many of the woke shilib cucks when they went back in reverse order to play the very 1st game, which was published back in 2009. Because it contained fantasy sexism against women 
which as you guys can imagine always draws potshots from wokies
who disrespect the progenitor of the fricking series! 
Which is especially galling, as the sexism shown in DA Origins is very meek, and often showcased the women curbstomping those male cucks daring underestimate our Warrior Kween! 
It reminds me of a recent Live Action Adaptation of Avatar Airbender 
where one of the main protagonists was a very juvenile sexist, who would say shit like "You throw like a girl!" and would consequently get his butt beat 
by the amazonian chicks in-universe. Like the fricking story actually punished this character, and he grew to be much wiser, and a worthy leader!!!! Well guess wat!!!!!! They sandblasted the fricking sexism and other faults from the Live Action equivalent, we we got the wimpiest and shittiest adaptation of a fictional character to ever transfer between mediums
In Dragon Age Origins, even the meek sexism faced by female protagonists appears to be enough to have the turbo wokes and snowflakes shit themselves, and basically (left unsaid) imply they would remove all sexism from these types of games, EVEN if it depicted the sexism from bad people, and YOUR PROTAGONIST OVERCOMING SUCH BIGOTRY 
In the prevailing sexism index, I'd put DA Origins way above stuff like Mount&Blade, which is as hardcore to sexism as it was in the Dark Ages, where playing as a Foid 
is literally hardcore mode.
https://old.reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/13s8cds/gender_question/
Basically, you need like double the amount of reputation and influence to get other nobles to do shit for you, but if you know the mechanics of the gayme, this isn't such a hurdle.
Instead I would put the "Prevailing-Sexism-Index" 
as above the typical Conan the Barbarian setting and below Wheel of Time, in terms of women being warriors and being typically respected/disrespected.
In Conan, there are very few women bearing arms, and mass r*pe is plentiful. The world is barbaric, and bandits are plentiful. But every now and then there is a woman warrioress which Conan encounters, like Sonja the Red or Tsia the piratess.
In wheel of time, there are as many Matriarchies as there are equal nations (because only women can be sane mages and be living flamethrowers) , but men still do the lionshare of physical fighting as frontline foottroops, with exceptions being the Amazonian Aiel foid warriors and so on - thus female warriors are rare, but plentiful enough to be visible for most people to see and form sexism against the in-universe physically weaker women.
In the game DA Origins there are various gendered interactions, showcasing that women have obtained much greater freedom over the past centuries, but the vestiges of sexism still prevailing everywhere.
"This line of dialogue was definitely written by a man!" REALLY? Your own sister or mother never insulted you guys by attacking your masculinity?
Here's a small microexample of beating up sexist dudes is STILL not good enough for Tumblerinas
some yapping about sexism
"Some of the games writing has aged badly, it's not unjustified for players, especially younger ones, to be uncomfortable about it or to point it out." 
https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/
"Does anybody else notice this? How, even though in the character creation description it says that women are treated as relative equals and are well respected, they really aren't? I haven't played as a male character yet, so I don't know the nuances of how they're treated, but I'm pretty sure they don't get at least one "Wow, I can't believe you're a man" at every story point. And I'm pretty sure that DA2 and DAI don't really have this problem so that makes it even more noticeable (and bothersome)." 
Remember what i said about the games aggressively liberalizing the dark and bleak setting with the following installments? Many 
zoomer/liberal gaymers would be SHOCKED 
when they went back to the original game, and all the different demographics aren't treated like an amorphous genderless cuck blob 
Like holy smokes, in the game there are Alienages, or evish ghettos because elves are 2nd tier citizens because they are cucks in this universe - and the soys will STILL complain about the prevalence of any amount of sexism in-universe.
https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/zqdl0t/dao_spoilers_issues_with_how_origins_treats_the/
"I think the only explanation for why some of that stuff still ends up creeping into the dialogue, particularly the sexism as you mention, is that the writers fell back on common medieval and fantasy tropes regarding treatment of women, either forgetting or not realizing that is clashed with lore."
This person is talking out of their asses, they are completely full of shit, and likely got their liberal impression from DA2 and Inquisition.
From the very onset in the game DA Origins, there were clear undertones of bleakness and sexism, as if the whole continent was slowly clawing its way back into "modern" civilization, with various calamities and disasters having plunged the whole continent back into cultural and technological dark ages. Foremost being the Blight - a swarming infestation of zombie-orcs which poisons and decays all natural habitats and life they come into contact with, which had decimated civilizations prior to the events in the game.
Runes and murals and ruins dot the landscape, the shells of once magnificent civilizations lived in by their diminished descendants.
In at least two moments, the Suffrage of women are mentioned ingame for DA Origins:
[1] Silent Sisters - dwarf chicks who cut out their own tongues
[2] Aveline - the chevalier in fantasy Frogland Orlais who beat up all the male cucks in a tournament, and won the right for Foids to become Frogland knights in-universe
https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Aveline_(chevalier)
[3] Sten, a companion of a faroff race, lives in an ultra-communist ultra-rigid society where roles are decided at birth due to the suitability of the kid - he expresses early on meeting with a Foid protagonist that he is MIND-FRICKED by the fact that she is a women and a warrior, cuz in his ultra-stratified nation, they don't exist. This conversation is not easily missed by peeps who actually played the game.
https://dragonageconfessions.blog/post/78274993851/confession-playing-as-a-female-warden-was-one-of
One tumbler feminist actually broke the mold in expressing the joy of overcoming sexism in the game universe.
Point is that low grade mild sexism was baked into Origins from the get go, as if in the start of the game, it has basically only been a hundred years since many women have obtained the rights or respect to join and command fantasy armed forces. The vast majority of fighting NPCs are male, when in combat and cinematics.
Yet even still warrioress women are shown as combat able, being exceptional in their roles and to be taken seriously. But this is not enough for the soys 
"After countless male characters I decided to make a female one. When the phrase "I swear I'm the bravest of all of you and I'm a woman" became an option I cringed so fricking hard"
Lmoa these people are soooooooooo soy - I have literally heard Safrican women sargeants pooping on male recruits in barracks for failing to do their PT in early basics, egging them on, and calling them p%ssies fr not even being able to do pushups which their women peers are able to do!
I realize this can still be belittling for women gaymers, but i have genuinely seen Afrikaans women, both the older and newer generation, calling men sissies for not being as brave as their sisters or female classmates, when a particularly tough adventurous undertaing was being balked at - like when during a school summer camp we were tasked with swimming across al lake midwinter when it was freezing, the women camp instructors would call all the boys wimps for not even being brave enough to act like a man, and do what the chicks were bravely doing 
Like have absolutely none of these peeps experienced the phenomena of men having their masculine pride attacked, also by women trying to prop them up? Maybe that is a remnant of Midievall sexism, where even women partook in enforcing gender roles, but it sure as heck was realistic behaviviour
This one line seems to have turbo cucked 
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many Tumblerinas!
Once again how incredibly mild sexism in DA Origins is.
Anyways I won't waste your time too much further, but throughout the past decade a lot of bitching and grumbling had been made by tumblerinas.

Currently 2 interstate highways are completely fricked in the area
Interstate 40 is closed at the Tennessee-North Carolina border near the Pigeon River Gorge after flooding and a mudslide overtook the highway.
The interstate, a major thoroughfare through the Southern Appalachians, is closed in both directions, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
I-40 East is closed from Mile Marker 432 in Tennessee until Mile Marker 3 in North Carolina. I-40 West is closed starting at Mile Marker 3 in North Carolina through Mile Marker 435 in Tennessee.
A mudslide on the North Carolina side resulted in a partial collapse of the highway, according to Kelse Edwards, a communications director for the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Photos of the dramatic collapse circulated on social media.
There is no timeline for how long it will take to assess the damage or repair the roadway.

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. Everyone has different boundaries that they get to define for themselves and their relationships. If your partner cheated on you, you for sure get to choose to leave or to stay and figure it out if you decide the relationship is worth working on and saving. Human relationships are complex and each of us bring our own fears and insecurities into them making each one exceptionally unique, and cannot be easily judged. (1)

@ObamaBinLaden say this as a a feminist ally
let's get this shit out of the way first, don't want too see it get deleted because of this cuck quote
One other things - @ObamaBinLaden know how touchy jeets are about their country's achievements. The most educated jeet is no better than the worst fent addicted hillbilly in misguided patriotism. If you are one of those, ROPE. NOW.
How the fuck did they fumble a design so hard.
Don't fucking tell @ObamaBinLaden too Wikipedia the history of Maruti, it loops back into itself
(Before any of you bharatias come at @ObamaBinLaden with the bullshit cookies cutter excuse, yes @ObamaBinLaden too have read the wikipedia article which says it was a nepo job by the then prime minister's son, the minister herself being a nepo placement because her father was the first prime minister)
That doesn't excuse shit. The USSR was a corrupt shithole and yet they still produced at least aesthetically pleasing cars. Cars which didn't make you gag the moment you laid eyes on them.
Both cars are from the erstwhile soviet bloc, made in the 70s and 80s.
Being a poor country didn't mean shit. The Indians were deeply embedded in the soviet bloc of influence, buying redundant shitty weapons from Soviets (like they are still doing till date) at billions.
Now all of us know the Soviets being commiebrained ( !anticommunists your chance to laugh at something the commies were hilariously bad at), they never really grasped what supply chain manufacturing in consumer durables is and thought cars were a luxury, even though just considering the European part of Russia, it's still the 7th largest country in the world, bigger than india, Argentina etc.
Commietardness is the opium of the politburo
- Karl Mersk
However the russkies failed because they had no organizational skills. Even after Albert Kahn with his 300 IQ jewbrain showed the vodka guzzling neanderthals how too streamline manufacturing, increase management efficiency, the russkies, being dumber than a medically brain-dead pygmy thought "oh ooga booga, streamline manufacturing? Ivan use only for missiles too blow capitalist pigdogs". They sneered at Taylor and Fayol's managerial theories and saw marketing and sales as a satanic ritual. It was over before it even began. We need people too be car salesmen? Just create a new layer of state bureaucracy thats job is too do that.
Sauce for nerds - Scientific Management, Socialist Discipline, and Soviet Power. Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1988.
But still, @ObamaBinLaden could argue, the Indian government could have taken the designs from the USSR and then proceeded too make it in India with whatever cost cutting they wanted. It's not because of price point or security. It's not like they were ever mindful of safety and security.
You can check the crash test ratings of currently available cars for domestic sale (not counting imports) in india.
https://www.globalncap.org/safercarsforindia
@ObamaBinLaden couldn't find a single maruti car with a rating above 2.0. Where as another domestic company, Mahindra, without any global brand name tag like Suzuki attached too it, scored a 4. So, it's not likely that Indian companies can't manufacture an acceptable personal automobile. Why has the Maruti Suzuki failed so spectacularly then
Point of concern - @ObamaBinLaden is not talking about sales, the maruti cars did well, but the truth is that it only did well because India put high tariffs on imports and pricey licenses too dissuade other companies from building factories. @ObamaBinLaden haven't seen such brazenly thuggish behavior from any other country, not even the USSR. The other companies only started too pop up after India opened itself up too international trade and let go of its license raj in the post soviet 1991 era.
Nobody is judging a 1980s car by today's standards. However if it didn't/doesn't hurt the eyes, you knew they were going too get better with time
Accord 1980
Accord 2024
So the country had neither its own designs, it stole them from anyone it could, decided on the ugliest piece of shit design, then put tariffs too disincentivize competition, paired up with a globally recognized brand too lend itself a false sense of debonair, failed spectacularly outside India, went inwards again, and has remained in that same state of decay and stagnation till date.

Part 3 of this series took us up to June. I haven't had a big enough block of free time to follow up since then (seriously, this involves a heck of a lot of reading) but our girl just keeps finding herself in more trouble faster than I can document it. The last couple months especially have been a roller coaster.
When we left off, Alice had been positively identified as Chinese national Guo Hua Ping who moved to the Philippines in 2003. We were beginning to unravel the secrets of the whole family, like the siblings she forgot existed and then remembered later. She's obviously guilty of all kinds of stuff, but hasn't actually been arrested yet. She's only being questioned the senate.
Such a troublemaker.
The investigators begin unraveling ties from the Bamban POGO to all kinds of nefarious activity, including the Pharmally scandal. Pandemic response money was stolen like in every country in the world. In the Philippines the people who got it were Chinese gangsters close to both then-President Duterte and the Chinese Communist Party.
This was far from the only POGO news. On June 4 the Lucky South 99 (gee, I wonder what nationality the owners of that were) POGO compound was raided. It was another massive complex, with 46 buildings on 5.8 hectares (14 acres). Apparently these guys had the guts to just continue this massive operation knowing that the entire country was trying to find more to shut down. The raid had been leaked to the gangsters but they still managed to arrest 190 and rescue 158 slaves.
I could make a joke here about "Lucky South 99" but I'm way too classy for that.
Eventually Alice stopped showing up to the Senate hearings, explaining that she was "traumatized" by being asked questions like if she has any brothers and sisters. She kept insisting that she just didn't have enough spoons to be interrogated. After the second time she did this, the Senate lost its patience and on July 11 issued arrest warrants for her and several family members and business associates. While waiting for her to show up, every agency in the country responsible for white collar crime opens their own investigations: taxes, money laundering, immigration.
Where did she Guo?
Suggested soundtrack for this part: Del Shannon - "Runaway" or Johnny Cash - "Cocaine Blues"
Senator Risa Hontiveros, the gigastacy who has been leading the investigation, officially announced what everyone already knew on August 19. Guo and her family had fled the country. It's still not entirely clear when and how it happened apart from the fact it was in week or two after July 13. What is clear is that she'd been allowed to just walk around in freedom without even any surveilance. About a dozen authorities must have dropped the ball for this to happen. It must have taken a pretty staggering combination of corruption, incompetence, and laziness for them to all frick up this bad.
MFW President Marcos says "LET ME BE CLEAR: Heads will roll" over Guo's escape.
There's 7,461 islands in the Philippines with quite a bit of coastline, so there's countless places where she could have just gotten on a boat and left, probably for Sabah in nearby Malaysia. She was reportedly spotted in various places in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. The Guo girls ought to record their own version of Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere" except with places across all of Southeast Asia.
The fugitives' main base: The Harris Hotel in Batam, Indonesia. It's not luxurious but at $50/night this is cheaper than literally every available room in the Portland metro area.
The public reaction was a mix of outrage and fatalistic apathy. I mean, you kind of knew that this was gonna happen. If you get angry every time there's a corruption scandal you'll go insane, so you can't take it too seriously. The country missed their favorite daughter Alice so much that restaurants competed to offer her the best free meal when she returns. The whole pursuit had a farcical air to it, like if 100 million people were watching the Keystone Kops trying to round up an r-slur who had escaped from the asylum. In a way it felt like OJ Simpson's low speed white Bronco chase.
Those were the days, amirite?
Not so fast
The monumental failure of the Guos' escape put on display the worst qualities of Filipino society, but it has many good qualities too. It is truly democratic, maybe even more than most first world countries. If it was like North America and Europe the ruling elites could have simply said that the only real problem was sinophobia and "anti-immigration hysteria" by "right-wing extremists" and forgotten about the whole thing. But Filipinos aren't afraid of being labeled alt-right. They're afraid of the goddarn Chinese taking over their country. And when most of the population agree on something and really care about it, they'll use the ballot or revolution to get it done. So the government realized that it was time to get their asses into gear.
EDSA, Metro Manila, 1986. The People Power Revolution that overthrew the current president's father. There's a reason why Filipinos are known as the world's most powerful race.
You may be wondering why their passports weren't revoked. This isn't as dumb as it sounds. As long as they were traveling under a Filipino passport other countries had to cooperate with Filipino law enforcement. By the time Sen. Hontiveros announced the escape on the 19th the Filipino Bureau of Immigration was already working with regional counterparts to track them down. Shiela Guo and Cassandra Ong (a whole new character who deserves her own post) were picked up by Indonesian authorities in Batam on the 21st and immediately deported. Shiela was soon dragged before the Senate where she suffered from the usual Guo family amnesia. One thing she did remember was that she is not in fact biologically related to Alice or her father. By now there was a mountain of evidence showing that Alice's POGO in Bamban and the more recently busted POGO in Angeles City were run by the same crime ring which was led partly by the Guo "family".
I had to check to make sure this was the Cassandra Ong who is a leading suspect at the heart of a vast international organized crime investigation, not All-American high school squash player Cassandra Ong. Who I'm sure has a very interesting life but it's not part of this story.
On the night of September 3, Alice Guo's luck finally ran out. She had been tracked down to a villa just outside Jakarta. Elite police commandos carefully crept up and waited, hearts pounding with tension, until they heard the command to go. Breaking in from five different places they moved to quickly secure the building, but it all went wrong from the start. Alice was waiting for them. Armor-piercing bullets shot out of her gun as a torrent of profanity in three languages shot out of her mouth. Four of the men had burst into the living room where she was. They were down before they even knew what was happening. She immediately swept through the rest of the house, emptying another magazine each one and wiping out the rest of the assault team. The police commander, desperate to rescue his wounded men, ordered that tear gas grenades be shot into the house and personally led the attack with his remaining men. But Alice already had her gas mask on and she had taken those few minutes to set up claymore mines with tripwires. The second assault force was destroyed even faster than the first. At this point military reinforcements were arriving with armored vehicles. Alice would occasionally stick her head out the window long enough to shout profane taunts, complaining that they were boring her, and taking pot shots at the troops cowering behind cover. After a few hours of consultation, President Joko Widodo finally authorized that any force necessary be taken. Tanks shelled the building dozens of times until it was completely obliterated. The troops advanced methodically, firing thousands of rounds as they approached. Shortly after dawn it finally was over. She was found lying under the rubble of the villa, gun still clutched in her hand with a broad smile across her face.
Indonesian commandos inspect the damage to the courtyard around the villa following the battle.
Nah, just kidding. The local cops went over there and found her in her pajamas, probably eating chocolate ice cream and watching The Gilmore Girls. She was taken into custody without incident and quickly extradited. She is now in a cell at Camp Crame, the national police headquarters.
Her no-makeup just got arrested look.
A social media star is born
Our girl, despite being in custody, managed to cause yet another scandal before even leaving Jakarta, and she did it just by being adorable. The Interior Secretary and chief of the Philippine National Police have caught some controversy for posing with her in a selfie like dumbstuck fanboys of a k-pop idol. But can you blame them? Alice's unbreakable optimism is infectious. You just can't help but join in!
Don't claim you would have done anything differently.
With agents of the National Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Immigration. See, nobody can help themselves!
President Duterte's explanation: "We are the selfie capital of the world." Seems about the best take on this to me.
She even looks pretty dreamy in orange.
In conclusion, I'm beginning to wonder now if she's literally r-slurred. She's got that some upbeat attitude all the time like Forrest Gump. Even in all the hot water she's in right now, she's happy because looking on the bright side at least she can't be literally torn apart by a mob while she's in jail. I wish I could be more like that. She also reminds me of another of the most compelling characters of recent times, Darrel Brooks. They both have legal strategies based on constantly telling obvious lies. By obvious, I mean one step in sophistication above me when I was a toddler blaming everything on my imaginary doppelganger. I have to remind myself of where this story all began with those hundreds of slaves to stop myself from sympathizing with her. I'd say, if being nice and taking selfies with her gets her to cooperate, they should go for it. She's the chisel that we can use to break open an even larger organized crime network across all of Southeast East Asia and who knows where else.
Unfortunately we have to expect that Alice's shirt will probably remain on throughout the proceedings.
For this segment I dashed through the material as fast as I could and didn't explore a lot of branches that I hope I'll get to someday: there's been more news about POGOs in general, VP Sara Duterte is tangentially involved in all this, Risa Hontiveros is an interesting character, links to international organized crime like that huge money laundering ring in Singapore. Cassandra Ong is a whole new qt like Alice but with her own personality. (There should be a Japanese dating simulator with them as characters.) But I don't know if I'll catch up. While writing this, Alice has appeared before the Senate and caused drama again. More importantly, Apollo Quiboloy, the country's other most wanted fugitive often mentioned together with Alice, has now been caught. He's the leader of a huge cult, a corrupt influence peddler, a child molester on a massive scale, and this bastard even got Ang Probinsyano shut down!
Actual footage of the cops closing in on Quiboloy. He won't underestimate this probinsyano again.
It looks like I'll be busy for a while.

She wont win and if she does its because so many people are hate voting against trump. Youd be crazy to want another 4-8 years of this nightmare we have been living (85)

I think the problem is the "issues" don't really get solved by voting. You can vote your candidate in with the popular vote but that doesn't even assure they become president, let alone then have the power they need to enact the changes you want.I voted for Biden because he said he was going to help me with my student loan debt.He tried, I'll give him that. But him getting into office did not have the results I wanted to see, so ya, this time around I simply care less. (-2)

Apparently the sub /r/LivestreamFail had some of their mods removed and stuff like that. They now made /r/LivestreamFails and posted a thread
what is going on, which has a link to a 10-page long google doc 
People obviously make fun of the mods in said thread.
From what I gathered the mods voted on groomercord to give another mod top mod and that guy went "crazy" and removed the old mods & added another mod.
The old mods apparently also say the new guy is a Destiny fan and they blame dgg so here's the Destiny sub thread
One of the old mods cried on ModSupport: Lost our ~3.4M follower sub-reddit due to lack of support from Reddit Admins
edit: one of the old mods seems to be a hamas piker fan who spammed the change into multiple subs (hasan_piker, twitch,... ) and of course to the sardines

Germany tried this with Turks and Syrians, Canada tried it with jeets, UK tried it with Pakis, etc...
But they think it will work with Haitians lmfao
