We spoke to queer Nigerian gamers about the identities they hide online
Voice chat can mean teamwork, coordination, and banter, but for many of the queer Nigerian gamers we spoke to, the mic is a risk assessment tool.

Cool so after months of pointedly ignoring and suppressing comments about Kagawa’s history as a violent sex offender and refusing to comment on it, the official stance they’re taking now is “we hired him on purpose for that reason”
RGG Studio not only cast Kagawa despite his actions, they are specifically taking advantage of his image as a creep to sell the role.
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA
![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05:
Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miwrulrgrudgnchcqgcpxgth/bafkreianho4oe2hx4rmjbrd65x22prtp53ol6fm5ljlqdnjmxkjx2bnpme@jpeg)

Effective altruism is pro-life for atheists: they can advocate for people who exist hypothetically and don’t have to listen to the needs of the living.
New article about the deafening silence from Effective Altruist leaders on the most morally important issues of our time: the Gaza genocide, rise of fascism, and brutality of ICE. I also discuss how the world would probably be better if EA had never existed. What do you think?

The reason it's important for normies to recognize that what they want & are doing to fight the regime is leftism is they don't have to reinvent the wheel, they can tap into what humanity has been building to take care of this, & listen to the humans who have been aware all along things need fixing.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
