Its in general about their properties and how they handle them. I seriously doubt most of the people here, other then race obsessed people like you, could even tell you where tencent is based. Could even tell you who the nationality of the people in charge are. I sure as fuck can't. I have heard the name several times in the past but, honestly, until I saw you posting this I thought they were an American company.
Because, you know, I don't obsessively check the race of everything before I make a decision about it.
The big issue is they are just another huge shitty corp that will bring no value, and more importantly will 100% be sitting on this property for a very long time. If it got sold people would hope it would go to someone good, someone who would bring something positive too the property, people who might turn things around and put real heart and soul into it.
Ok so...YOUR TURN! You are defending tencent so hard, making it so clear anyone who doesn't like the poor company is only against them because of racism. There has to be something amazing about them that you know that will change all of our minds? Because, honestly, right now I'm reminded of all the 'if you didn't like the movie it means your sexist' crap we got with girl ghostbusters.
I answered the issue. People are mad that its getting sold to another horrible corporation who will 100% sit on the property for years and has zero chance of doing anything good with it. This is flat out saying 'D&D' has no chance of going up from here. This is a big nail in the coffin. I don't know how to explain it simpler then that, and the fact that you glossed over me explaining why people are against this shows you don't really want to discuss the subject you just want to keep crying racism because you have a massive hardon for this company and you must defend their honor at all costs.
Seriously...why are you so defensive of this company? Do you have stock in the company or something? I really don't think its you desperately trying to prove you aren't racist like i did in the beginning...but there is something weird about this my man. You just...really really really want this company to be good in our eyes. You want so hard to prove that naysayers are only racist.
Jesus christ my man. Ok, i haven't spelled it out exactly, haven't used this exact set of words but i guess it needs to be said. Its not that they are worse. Its that this sale means years and years more of horrible shit, when a sale COULD have meant it going to someone good. I have been saying that over and over very clearly. I just didn't use the words hasbro when saying that so i guess the way you scan a sentence didn't pick up on that? Would you like me to explain that a fourth time?
And no...you have not said a anything good but for half a day now you have been insisting the only reason people don't like them is racism. That implies that they must be good. You have to understand that right? If they are only hated because of race? That means there is no real problem with them in your eyes?
Holy fuck it's been 3 days dude fucking drop this. I've explained so much why I think this isn't about race and you just won't shut the fuck up.
3 day ive been on your mind man. 3 days. this is just...so pathetically sad. Move on. I'll help. You are right. It's all racism. You, and you alone, are the shining beacon of racial tolerance in a sea of horrid savages.
Now, please, move on. I honestly completely forget you exist until you keep popping back into my life to scream racism but...its time for you to move on with your life.
Christ man. Just...christ. OK. Yep. Ill have to be the one to stop because just...holy fuck dude. Good luck in life, your gonna need it.
That's because nobody is saying Tencent will be specifically worse for D&D than Hasbro has been.
