Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

This was a battle of optics which Mamdani won resoundingly. If you think this was some kind of victory for "normalising fascism" or whatever, it's worth noting that MAGA influencers are crashing out about this.
*They* don't think it's a Trump victory. Don't pretend it is on their behalf.

if you guys are ditching mamdani after he managed to throw the entire fucking republican party into complete total chaos and disarray while they rip each other apart, got trump to admit he's a fascist on-screen, and might've got him to leave ny alone for now with one meeting....... yall, come on

And as always, don't harass the bell ringers. They're often vulnerable people pressured into doing the SA's work or volunteers from other organizations who've been told this is a nice way to give back during the holidays. They're not the problem.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
