Yeah he is just being a huge asshole in this presentation, basically shitting on all art that plays on reactions of horror to uncanny movements, there's no meaningful commentary on technology here.

I mean if the sink was in the same room as the toilet, I would understand, separate rooms is very strange though

This is confusing as I've never seen a toilet stall that is just a regular room, rather than a cubicle divider thing

There's a game menu with a diagram of a military hierarchy of named enemies, and their strengths/vulnerabilities. When you find the named enemies in the game and interact with them in some way (iirc it's basically limited to winning/losing a fight or mind controlling them), it affects their traits and their place in the tree, and you'll get a short cutscene where they say stuff referencing your past interactions.

What's the scope on that though? I bet someone could get away with a game that does a somewhat similar thing, just not in the exact same way.

Not if the reposter blocks them

So then the solution is, what, more telling them not to do that?

Same, I think some people find some things funny and some don't and it isn't all about generational cohort

Well sure. But isn't it more important to ask what the problem is and how it could be improved across society, than the appropriate way to allocate blame? You wrote earlier in this comment thread,

Think of how much evil and stupidity in the world ultimately traces back to some men and the boners they’re ashamed of.

It seems to me like those people are themselves struggling to "resist pressure" and follow what they see as a "path" to being a good person, and thereby covering over what could be a source of empathy (and realization that their path is wrong) with shame.

And beyond that, I just reject the whole concept of blaming ideologies for the fact that some people are assholes. Clearly the problem is simply that they are assholes, and I think they deserve all of the blame for that themselves.

Do you think they're all just born that way? Gotta be some cultural component, even if not tied to a specific ideology

Maybe not in its entirety, but they are cutting medicaid right
