Now you understand why I constantly shit on Russia. They deserve it, especially for turning into the new Nazi Germany.

the Russian people don't seem to be ready for democracy yet - they jumped from one authoritarian system to the next within about a decade with little resistance

and in such a system it's extremely easy to redirect bottled up anger/anxiety towards (ethnic/religious/..) minorities and social outcasts to use them as scapegoats

Germany had to lose 2 world wars for it's people to accept the value of a liberal democratic system, I wonder what it will take for other influational nations like Russia or China to have lasting liberal leaning governments

Turkey and Philippines along with quite a few other countries seem to be well on their way towards authoritarian political systems aswell

Its about how women are being portrayed in video games obviously. Not Bayonetta herself...

Which is a result of the status of women in society. Of course, the problem is that many of them think that it's mainly video games that are influencing society, when in reality it's vice versa.

The status of women in society? You mean how they have it better than men in every way possible? (In the western world where games are made anyways)

Nope, it's a reflection of basic biology, which cuts through all this SJW bullcrap because it cannot be talked down. Men are drawn to the female form on a fundamental level and, as the gaming industry tends to be male dominated, female characters tend to come out attractive to the max. Nothing wrong with that and nobody is forced to buy these games.

Nobody is stopping women from making their own games where shirtless men roll around showcasing their abs and trouser bulges. Women don't seem to be interested in that. I guess it's just easier to bitch about what someone else has done than make the games you want to see. Imagine that.

Will the human race never learn from past mistakes?

 

 

 

What about the concentration camps in Srebrenica in the 90s?

Will Western people never learn about it?

With statements like this you lose all credibility. Ignore all the studies all you want. It doesn't make it true just because that's how you feel.



Are u guys starting to realize why Putin bombed Grozny now ?

entirely wrong, even in the west women are not fully treated like equals to men - many many games are btw made in Japan which is much less progressive in it's treatment of women

"they have it so much better" is whiny misinformed bollocks

you should try reading (and only reading) some women (and I don't mean scary "feminist") forums for some months to get some perspective

So homosexual men (not women as well?) are being held captive in some sort of prision because of their homosexuality? Is that really true? What the actual fuck is UN doing? That's a crime against human rights.

Human rights violations occur on massive scales around the world at every given second and mostly in places that would be much easier to affect than Russia. The reality is that only locals have any power to change things for the better in their region and the locals in Russia are in favor of measures taken against homosexuals.

I think I know the answer!
USA biggest ally, Saudis, kills people for being gay. I think, Putin wants to improve relations with USA, and tries to start with some camps, to see, if it will please US.

And I think you try to talk bad about a lot the "West" does in many political threads but when Russia or other countries in that region do shit you try to distract from it or act as if it's not that bad.

Whataboutism seems strong with you.

Yes. Chechnia is a traditionalist region. With a lot of muslims there. And for religious man - christian, muslim or jew - to be gay is absolutely inacceptable.

Isn't violence supposed to be completely unacceptable to all of those religions too though? Funny how they like to pick and choose when things are acceptable and when they're not...

Eh, religion is the believe in the tooth fairy or something to begin with. So I don't think logic applies to religion.
