Dude was asking the staff to check their system for a record he was looking for, they told him they were too busy (pretty clearly trying to get him to just leave), and then he went off on them. He kept saying: "Think about what you are saying my friend! This is not wise! This is not wise at all!". There were five employees that had no means to actually handle the situation and just kept saying "You need to leave!" while the dude carried on. Finally they gave up and the guy went back to shopping. I was trying to check out, so I got a front row seat to the action. The staff were absolutely seething afterwards, but again, they couldn't handle the situation themselves and just had to hope he would eventually leave. It was funny as frick.

I'd only been talking to this girl for like a day, she asked me about my weekend. For context, my week before had been super busy so I wasn't looking to do a ton of social activities last weekend just a nice, chill couple of days. I clearly cracked a joke about the fact that it was kind of a boring weekend, but I never expected her to reply like this

Reddit is split on whether she is being ironically edgy or whether she really wants him to end his own life.

I remember when I first joined it was kind of cheeky and irreverent, and it still seemed plausible that women posted here. But it's become progressively more shallow and heartless. I mean I can't be the only one picking up on this, right? "The worst thing about DOGE is how soy it all is"? We can't just express outrage at immorality anymore, every criticism must be given through the lens of haughty indifference and framed around coolness or lack thereof. I think some people here have genuinely replaced their concept of wrong and right with cringe/not cringe and never stopped to consider how cruel and purposeless it could make them.

Quick question did you ever listen to the pod? Like even one clip or so?
People actually listen to Rspod?!
Gooooood, for the 100,000th time - this is a unique sub and one of the only decent culture/current events subs on reddit, the podcast sucks shit so most people here either never listened or stopped listening in 2019 (me). I used to like A&D but in the last five years one became a Fox News dork and the other is hawking a shit coin, they've changed. That being said, what drew me to them and this sub in the first place was their critique/thoughts on the overly woke/grifter left and establishment liberals. What I and many didn't know back in 2018 was A&D are insecure dorks who just adopt whatever ideology they currently find chic/edgy, and as soon as Bernie/progressive politics became boring they moved onto the next thing. But a lot of us here have beliefs based on morality/ethics/what we find to be true, so here we are
Tldr: "I have never and will never engage with the content this sub is about but here's how it should be run."
Anyways I thought this was a fun thread. The commenters even got OP to self delete out of shame.

People really need to stop making heroes out of online personalties. You'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson from pointless celebrity worship.
Ideologically motivated moralists suck no matter what their political leanings. It's why I can't stand Matt Walsh even though he attacks stupid shit.
I fricking hate moral grandstanders. LET DEVS MAKE WHAT THEY WANT TO MAKE!
but please Mr. KiNeurodivergent, no loliBIPOCshit! 
"Only my freedom is the correct freedom, you degenerate bigot!"
That was fast. The pendulum just started swinging back and they're already grifting on the other end.
If you love games, if you love artistic freedom, then you do not have allies on the "left" or the "right". Regardless of what they say, they all have ulterior motives.
I'm an independent, and always have been since I first registered to vote, and this weird, sudden heelturn of those who supposedly pushed for freedom of speech proves why I never considered myself a conservative even if they had (temporarily) agreed with me.
If you push for censorship, you are my enemy. Simple as that.
Speaking as an open-and-out reactionary, the single greatest enemy to any postwar right wing movement has been that conservatives are placed in charge of them to make sure they never get anywhere.
I mean a lot of conservativesβ¦ya knowβ¦hate porn and hate half naked women showing their body in media. If they're conservative this really isn't shocking or surprising. It's just their beliefs.
Wait, Pastor Bubba Muttison (R) doesn't likes my loli tranime hentai game?, I thought that we were friends because we both hated Woke Commies?!, he doesn't thinks that Japanese cartoon porn is going to save Western civilization and the White race from Globohomo Marxists?! 
Thats why its so cringe to see these prude leftists nowadays, complaining about a 5 pixel boob window; Theyre acting exactly like the conservatives that they claim to hate so much. They have so many bad things in common.
For us who grew up in the 90s(and i guess 80s too) its like a flashback. They're all the same shits, trying to ruin entertainment and true art, by deciding what is or isnt allowed.
I never had any issue with either of them until they started acting like peepees, destroying my entertainment and telling us we are whatever bad thing they can think of, just cause we dont agree 100% with them.
prepare to switch attacking Woke SJWs to the Evangelical "Catholics" in the past four years, soldier of autism!
Yes Razorfist has chosen to destroy his credibility with his defending of Melonie Mac because she quotes scripture to deflect what's wrong. Heck he recently jumped down Act Man's throat saying he doesn't want Twerking in M-Rated games. I know Act Man is hated here but this response by Razor is just garbage. By the way if you attack Melonie Mac you're a Chinese shill and an agent of the CCP now according to Razor's recent livestream.
The rest are extremely simple to explain to be dismissed. Jon Del Arroz is a wife beater. The Quartering is a grifter. John F. Trent has been mask off for several years now and there's a reason he left Bounding into Comics and went to That Park Place now (I still don't like WDW Pro having him on his staff). Aristocratic Utensil doesn't believe in free speech at all because it gives the plebs a voice and is a Monarchist who fled his home country of South Africa.
I'm pretty disappointed by RazΓΆrfist. He's a metalhead, and fan of actually Satanic Black Metal too. He knows his BS about the Satanic Panic not being real is BS.
He has embraced religion i heard.
Trends bud, trends, hence why Norse Pagan aesthetic is all but dead in Neo-Nazi circles outside of Black Metal and prison gangs, and the Trvthnuke-dropping Fundie-obliterating Scientific Atheists are dead outside of reddit, in 2025, being a Trad Christian Fundamentalist is the counterculture and edgy fandom in modern Westoid culture.
A while ago. You can tell when he changed his sign off from, 'God fricking speed!" to "Godspeed!" He also compared his own life to Alice Cooper's a lot in his Alice Cooper Metal Mythos.
Are you surprised? Back in the 90s the conservetives (
) were the ones pushing censorship.
Now that the pendulum is swinging to the right prepare yourself to fight againts the moral busybodys of the right, the fight against censorship and authoritarianists never ends.
So, you know how, as we used to say, 'SJW's always eat their own'?
One of the reason a group starts cannibalizing itself over internal disagreements is because it perceives its external threats as defeated. Part of the reason SJW's were so eager to tear into themselves was because they correctly assessed themselves as being in control of the political climate.
Well, now Trump has won a second term and woke is being declared dead in the news media, these people have decided that now their team is in power, they don't need a bunch of weirdo nerds like us anymore.
Personally, I don't think the wokes are anywhere near as defeated as these guys think they are. We could easily have the democrats win again come 2028, and if they do, it will again be largely through the same coalition of women and 'brown' people.
Don't argue with them. I suggest just turning your back on all of these people. Every voice that opposes your ideas, suffocate it. Deny it the oxygen of your engagement. They've decided they don't need you, so respond in kind. You don't need them.
I just wish someone could explain to me what sort of dumb do you have to be to fall for the ol "I'm a christian!" shtick from a tattooed divorcee hypocritical E-Girl with 3-4 chockers on, wearing nothing but revealing clothing with a blow up lara croft in her background, pretending to be a teen. (:autism;:)
Like. Can we get the iq of these people and plot a graph? I have some theories I'd like to test.
she used to be a zealot FOR lgbt crap, now she moralizes while skimpy dressed
!g*mers !grillers !r-slurs !accelerationists
The very definition of a grifter.
I also think she genuinely feels threatened that video game women are leagues hotter than she is.
No matter the ideology, country, race, or religion, foids will always be foids 
I have no problem with people having tastes but that tolerance ends where they start trying to dictate what I can and can't enjoy.
Mac called games like First Descendent soft porn, while also making posts calling for banning all porn.
These guys are playing the same game that progressives played where they claim they aren't trying to get anything banned or censored, they are just criticising it but as soon as they got into a position where they could implement their ideology they started censoring things.
One of this subs core values is anti censorship. Anyone be it left or right that wants censorship is someone this sub opposes.
And to end this thread, here is a schizokino:
These guys are playing the same game that progressives played where they claim they aren't trying to get anything banned or censored
I think you're seeing monsters under the bed that don't exist.
Are they calling around to people's employers to try to get them fired, people's spouses to try to stir shit in a relationship, etc etc etc.?
That's the game progressives have been playing for the past decade+. If you're going to claim the other side is doing it in regards to these games, you're going to need more than vague accusations. I want to see direct calls to action.
What I see, in general, is people leaving a critique, and this thread seeming to be focusing into some kind of groupthink situation.
Basically it seems as if people can't criticize something they don't like. We've now got this affirmation only culture thing going on here?
Purity spirals weren't on the menu.
Make called games like First Descendent soft porn, while also making posts calling for banning all porn.
This is a bit of connecting the dots, a bit of a reach. I don't know how else to say it. You're associating two different statements said at different times.
Are they saying that First Descendent needs banned? This is a yes / no question. You are not a mind reader, like a lot of progressives, you don't get to lecture everyone else on "What they really mean, because they made this other tweet while taking a shit one day, trust me bro".
Because I'm not seeing it.
Bring some concrete evidence where they want to ban jiggle physics, ban Bayonetta, TFD, etc etc etc. If you're going to be associating dispsarate tweets that may even be hyperbole or satire or pointed or figurative....this is all I can see.
One of this subs core values is anti censorship.
In games, sure. I haven't seen anyone call for censorship that's relevant to the sub's interest.
Actual porn? That's already censored. There's an age requirement(both to participate in making as well as obtain the content). It's not in schools, not in broadcast or allowed at certain times of day, etc etc etc.
I would think porn, whether you want it or don't, would be more of a political issue than topical here. If we can start sharing links to porn, talking about porn, critiquing, discussing porn content creators extensively, etc, this place is going to start looking very different.
If we're shifting KIA to be about defending all porn, because muh censorship, you might want to make a sticky about it.
I mean, the sidebar does say pretty clearly:
KotakuInAction is the main hub for G*merGate on Reddit and welcomes discussion of community, industry, and media issues in gaming and broader nerd culture, including sci-fi/fantasy, comics, and animation.
I don't see porn there, funny.
Also, we're against censorship, but here we are saying people can't be against porn, or against "fan service" games in general.
I think you might want to go over this, with all of the mods, because that's a pretty large paradigm shift for this sub.
That's just me expressing an opinion. I'm not saying you can't make the sub inherently pro-porn, I'm not trying to stop you.
People can have various opinions, and if we can't tolerate some, we're no better than progressives.
It's a bit weird to see people get triggered over a couple very specific terms like "degenerate" and then also talk about how bad of allies they were(OP in this instance).
If anyone's behaving like progressives, it's OP and some others in this thread. Some people could do with a mirror.
Again, for the people in the back.
I'm not saying this because I have something against porn, or against these types of games. I don't want anything banned as long as things are otherwise legal(ban CP, for example).
There's room for everything, effectively, there is not finite space in game developement. If you like TFD, you can play TFD.
Similarly, if I don't want to, I don't have to, because there are other games out there.
Build it and they will come. Anything can find some fans.
That's not going to stop me from looking down on someone that may be a bit on the obsessive side.
Are we going to start adding to pronouns or orientations? Are we mandatorily going to have to affirm Waifusexuals or have it be requisite that we start calling all who disagree AnimePillowPhobes? Man, I can't stand those hateful divisive people!
I would just like to know the real rules here.
Edit: All questions here rhetorical, as in meant to make people think.
The sub seems to be having an identity crisis. I've explained about as much as I have patience for in several posts in this comments section and/or this comment chain. I can only lead the horse to water, I can't make it drink.
OP looks like a witch hunt, despite coy denials of being such, and is political in nature somewhat, and would seem to imply false or unsupported allegations of demands for censorship of games.....all in an overblown reaction to some youtube personalities they don't agree with.
To me, this sounds like it breaks several sub rules. But it's okay, because apparently a mod agrees.
Whatever. Wouldn't be the first time this sub has had a self created existential crisis and seen significant upheaval, and it won't be the last.

Singer said some typical supportive stuff that included the phrase: "They will never take trans joy away". Joyless seething ensues.
Who the frick cares about "trans joy" or how it's really scary for you heccin vxlid guys right now. We have fricking nobody and nothing. No hate to chapppell personally, I just hate this stupid bullshit that this class of person is circulating. So out of their depth here.

i do appreciate her for doing the bare minimum. but ngl she gets under my skin anyways. the whole divine feminine schtick and "doing drag but as a cis woman" irks me

So with new Dutch and Belgian laws, to release an online game you need to fill a lot of paperwork so smaller games even without loot boxes wouldn't put effort to release their games in that region.
So here giga r-slurred example: Lollipop Chainsaw remaster. Came out on 12 September and pre orders were available. In Dutch store nothing no preorders no release then on 25 September it drops out. On Belgium store it dropped out on 3rd October. Like why would we need EU standards and etc if countries can reject them and create their own standards. So what online did Lollipop Chainsaw have leaderboard. So Dutch localisation needed 2 weeks (game had preorder early access) to determine if the game was safe and Belgian minister even longer
Like I understand if Germany would do it devs would care or if France or for frick sake Canada but Belgium and Netherlands
With Lollipop Chainsaw it wasn't big deal since game was mostly offline so I just get germ version.
But some games require always online connections. In the past it wasn't an problem but new rule made that before a game comes out officially devs need to ban accounts from those countries from connecting to the services of the game and for PlayStation there is stricter rules that to release on Apple Store. Because omagat save the kids. Local kids are momo, fatima, erkan, adja and ivan (he is refugee from Ukraine)
You can create an account from other country but why would I create a new account ?
https://old.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/t43j3t/sony_really_wants_me_to_stay_in_one_country_and/
So Sony wouldn't update their services and infrastructure and use infrastructure from 2001 despite the massive hacks it had and waste 300 millions on game it throw away in one week.
But games without even loot boxes being banned just because they didn't wanted to deal with paperwork is hilarious

First Reading
In the year King Uzziah died,
I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne,
with the train of his garment filling the temple.
Seraphim were stationed above.
They cried one to the other,
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!
All the earth is filled with his glory!"
At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook
and the house was filled with smoke.
Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed!
For I am a man of unclean lips,
living among a people of unclean lips;
yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
Then one of the seraphim flew to me,
holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
He touched my mouth with it, and said,
"See, now that this has touched your lips,
your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?"
"Here I am," I said; "send me!"
-Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8

Second Reading
I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
of the gospel I preached to you,
which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
Through it you are also being saved,
if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
unless you believed in vain.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he was buried;
that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
After that, Christ appeared to more
than five hundred brothers at once,
most of whom are still living,
though some have fallen asleep.
After that he appeared to James,
then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
he appeared to me.
For I am the least of the apostles,
not fit to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am,
and his grace to me has not been ineffective.
Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them;
not I, however, but the grace of God that is with me.
Therefore, whether it be I or they,
so we preach and so you believed.

Gospel
While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening
to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
"Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch."
Simon said in reply,
"Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets."
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
"Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man."
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him
and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid;
from now on you will be catching men."
When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.
-Luke 5:1-11

Isaiah, Peter, and Paul, three extremely holy men, all said they were unholy and unworthy. This is very humble of them, admitting that any grace they have is a gift from God, but it's also a teaching example. You don't have to be perfect to share the Gospel; the Good News are still good when coming from a bad person. A common question I see here is "how can you be preaching about Catholicism on rdrama of all places? Good Christians shouldn't have anything to do with this site." While it may be true that good Christians shouldn't be here, it's certainly better to be here and share your Christianity than to be here and not do so.
