Dragon Age Creator Slams "Woke" Criticism: "You're an Idiot"

Reply in thread

That is what the culture war is. The effort to create an environment where publishers and artists have a harder time including aspects labeled "woke" because of a loud minority will harass the people involved, review bomb the products, dominate the discourse with bad faith arguments, and generally minimize the potential enjoyment of anyone who is the intended audience. This is what forcing an agenda upon artists looks like.

Generated "art" does not rule.

I don't know if Marx would disagree with individual artists owning the intellectual right to their artworks.

And if you asked Lemmy about how long copyright should last, I doubt that Ayn Rand would approve.

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe would be fantastic. The last thing I remember hearing was that he was working on a script for a Mistborn movie. I would've preferred a TV-show, but he feels it would work better as a movie, and I trust his judgement.

Oh it is a democracy, but not “direct democracy”. We don’t choose what happens, we just choose who decides what happens.

Still not a democracy, you just described a Republic, which is what we’ve always officially been even if die hard patriots prefer to say democracy

What are you talking about? The people electing representatives that makes the final decisions is called "representative democracy". A republic is a form of representative democracy. A constitutional monarchy, like you find a lot of in Europe, is another form of representative democracy that fit the original description, without being republics.
