What worries me is using this as "evidence" to arrest Democrats in office.

"Viewpoint diversity"

The approval by the FCC, led by Trump-appointed chairman Brendan Carr, comes after Skydance made commitments to the agency in three areas: ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs at Skydance and Paramount have been shut down; appointing an ombudsman to review “complaints of bias or other concerns” involving CBS as part of ensuring “viewpoint diversity”; and investing in local news and working with its affiliated broadcast stations to serving local communities.

Thank you. I read the entire article and I don't really understand what the OP is trying to achieve with this post, which no one from that group will read, just as no one from that group has ever played a video game. They just seem like publicity-seeking busybodies with time to kill between complaints about their neighbors to their HOAs.

In particular I still don't understand why any of this is relevant to retro games. Modern games, sure. But it doesn't look like they're trying to get Crash Bandicoot banned from Steam.

I don't know what this group is and I have no idea what you're talking about. Most of all I don't understand why this is posted in a retro gaming community

You know, I never quite understood why a woman named Katana fought with fans

Or <40% of us anyway. The rest don't care.

I don't think you can separate people so cleanly.

And I'm literally only talking about beef. Chicken may be atrocious from a cruelty perspective but it has a negligible environmental impact compared to beef. People who are emotionally invested in eating beef don't see that they have the exact same mentality as anti-maskers did during the pandemic: doing this helps the entire human race and prevents the suffering of millions of people, but I refuse to even consider any change in my behavior because it makes me temporarily uncomfortable.

How can someone demand action from others against something like rising fascism when they won't even change their lunch habits?

What happens when demand decreases?

Any reduction in beef consumption is a win for the environment. I hope beef becomes completely unaffordable.

Edit: Instead of down voting, maybe do a cursory investigation into some of the top causes of climate change. It ain't bean sprouts causing it.

They should offer to rename themselves the Washington Epstein Files
