Right now, a studio can react in time to a bombing. Now it's gonna happen right in that critical first week after release with zero reaction and mitigation time for studios.
We'll have to go figure out how to get the console games themselves to work, built for controls that don't really map well to keyboard and mouse (no matter how much more sense it would actually make to play the games with keyboard and mouse), built for specs that make you wonder why you bought your new PC (because you can be sure that none of the features you have will be supported), and most of all, it's most likely that the games will only be available in one of the most clunky and user-unfriendly game stores in existence.
You should ensure that the fire exits are blocked and locked before you open the container of mustard gas. Trust me on that one, else you'll end up with almost a month of preparation and only a paltry body count to show for it.
That's why further up psychopaths were suggested. Hearing these things barely affect a psychopath, if at all, and he could easily moderate it with zero impact on his own well being.
It's probably more that they don't want yet another movie where "look, it's a female lead. A FEMALE!!!111!!" is the main plot. Instead of, you know, a REAL plot.
You know what these movies have in common? A story. A plot. Not the same, of course, but they ACTUALLY HAVE ONE.
More and more of those "female agenda" movies don't. They have a female lead. That has to do. And you better like it or you're one misogynist asshole. Can't say or even write anything bad about this train wreck of a movie with a script that fits on a coaster because else we send the backlash of outrage down onto you.
This is not empowering. These movies are not sending a strong statement of strong, female role models. You cannot force role models onto people. Especially if the alleged role models are bland, stereotypical and generally uninteresting to the point where nobody cares about them. To consider someone a role model, I first and foremost have to care about her or him. You're not accomplishing this with movies that are forgotten before the last movie stops showing them.
It was less the political correctness, more that Sony hyped it as a sequel originally which was later only very quietly retracted. When the movie trailers came out and people were told that not only the former stars would only make cameo appearances but, worse, as completely different characters that had nothing to do with their old characters and that they were basically eliminated from GB history because it's a reboot now and, well, screw your memories, that was when people started to complain.
This would have gone down much easier if the three remaining actors had played their old selves, maybe as three old geezers yakking away how women could never do it only to be proven wrong. I'm fairly sure that would have worked with most of the old fans, even.

Because clicks and reaction postings.
Duh.
You mean, like, go against the studios that give them those great graphics and promo videos before the other sites get them?
Do you bite the hand that feeds you?

Bravo. *golfclap*
Nah. It's still a-ok to call you a cracker.
That's the dedicated room for fucking with a coworker.

I guess I'll pass.
That was the first thing I noticed about Japan: Everything has the unsurmountable urge to make noise. Even the garbage trucks played music.
Yes I have. People yelling at each other to hear each other over the music, only to have the music get louder to drown out the screaming...
Have you ever seen the little dolls without their attire? Even with the lights on it's like Daft Punk's Technologic video gone berserk.
Reading FB all day, high as a kite, and for a change getting paid AND getting laid?
Is that an ad?
You obviously didn't get the memo how "rape" is now basically "everything that disagrees with her".

Yes. But as a tip, bring your own lube. After all, you'll be the new guy.
Yes, I agree, it's not ok to screw in a lactation room.
There should be a dedicated room for fucking a coworker. If only due to the culture taboo of shagging someone in public.

Unfortunately management pay is better.
The best argument against Facebook is a 10 minute conversation with the average Facebook user.
The pay is the problem. 28k is pennies, such people are usually found in management, making a magnitude more money than that.
Well, they're on AEST (UTC+10), so they're ahead of almost the whole rest of the world now!
What does this change for me as a user? I cannot trust this provider so I have to move my business elsewhere.
Rey would have sucked just as much as a guy. Whether Mary Sue or Marty Stu, a bland character with zero room for development is uninteresting.

It's more that little boys can say "Look, look what I can do!" themselves, they don't need movie heroes for that.
Extrapolation from past experience?
Ponder which reboots or sequels you know where the male hero was replaced by a female hero. Now ponder the good vs. bad ratio.
