  • Even now in NY the age of consent is 17

    In my state it’s 16 and they recently met to decide if they wanted to raise it to 18… and decided not to.

    There was actually a news story a few months back about how the cops had to let a 40 year old who met with and had sex with a 16 year old girl on the internet go much to the complaint of the father because as far as the state was concerned… the latter was legally an adult and could make her own sexual choices.

    The idea that this stuff is wrong is newer than you might think.
















  • Blizzard fans have a habit of believing Blizzard is still this small indie company with humble games like Starcraft, Lost Vikings, and Diablo, and that it’s just mean ol Activision making them do things like…

    sigh

    Have two to three whole expansions of Sylvanas Windrunner being not only the Warchief of the Horde, but for all intents and purposes being basically the main fucking character, complete with a writer who brought her previously killed off-boyfriend Nathanos, only as a self-insert.

    Like I love Sylvanas, she was my favorite character, but Jesus fucking Christ that was cringe. Not only was it completely out of character for the Horde to give her leadership (Protip: The Forsaken aren’t trusted by anyone because they’re scary fucking zombies who do scary zombie shit, the Horde just figures they’re less dangerous as allies than enemies), but she continously forced the Horde to do horrible shit.

    Now if the point was that Sylvanas was evil and the Horde’s mistrust of her was valid, I guess that’d work, but the way it was executed was more like “Look how cool Sylvanas is for doing all this edgy shit.”

    I don’t know who the Warchief is now, I honestly don’t think they have any fucking Horde characters left to be Warchief given how often Horde leaders get killed off. Jesus Christ WoW’s story just completely shit itself after Legion.

    I got off-topic, my point was Microsoft was never going to save Blizzard from Activision, because Activision isn’t holding Blizzard at gunpoint and forcing them to kill off Heroes Of The Storm, Steal female employees’ breast milk, or making Overwatch 2, Blizzard’s just not a cool company.
