Alternatively, as I wrote: in some places, the word “woke” has taken on the role of terms like “social justice warrior” and “political correctness” - i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style - and he wants to distance himself from that style.

yep, it’s great to have a progressive message, but a progressive message is not an easy-button - you still have to do the hard work of making good art

because you are now playing into the toxic norms that already exist’

how? I don’t get it.

Even if your best option is to vote for postponing the day leftists start getting hauled off to camps, you should still vote. Activism is harder when you’re in a mega prison.

LOL no, “woke” is anything that acknowledges LGBT+ individuals exist

…so the guy who directed a game where you can have a medieval gay romance, does not acknowledge that LGBT+ individuals exist?

So what should be the word we use for “media that depicts positive social ideologies?” Apparently “woke” includes the definition “while being super preachy about it.”

For a lot of people it does, yeah. I don’t know if the best solution is to run away from the word, though – like you say, it’s good to have a word for this stuff, and a different word is just as susceptible to being tainted by conservative strategists.

In a lot of places, not just far-right assholes, the word “woke” has taken on the role of terms like “social justice warrior” and “political correctness” - i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style.

Yes, that is not what the word “originally” meant, yes it is partially the result of right wing propaganda, yes “political correctness” and “sjw” have similar issues, but it is still a real thing.

What the man seems to me to be trying to say is that their goal was to do a medieval gay romance in a way that was not preachy or superficial – is that not good? Isn’t there a bit too much token representation and pinkwashing going on?

This is part of how wealth concentrates in countries without a welfare state. The property market becomes more and more unavailable for young people, and older people have to sell their homes to afford proper care.

in their defense, it is marketed as a device that’s limited on purpose, though

It hasn’t really been a problem for me, but I like having a big display, especially for pdfs or comics. It’s also been great for character sheets for roleplaying games - especially since they get synced to the cloud, so I can always pull them out on my phone if I forget the tablet.

The interface, marketing and development all seem to be very focused on note taking and sketching, though. I’ve used it for drawing, but the exported files are kind of crap - IMO, the best way of exporting a drawing from ReMarkable is to lay the thing on a scanner. If you want high resolution, you zoom in on your drawing and scan it in pieces.

it is definitely too closed down, haven’t had those other experiences though, I’ve had my ReMarkable 2 for quite a few years now. Then again, I haven’t tried hacking at it

I dunno. It seems like an attempt at “Trump whispering”, but like calling Trump “daddy”, I doubt it’s an approach that gets Rutte any respect from Trump.

Being Norwegian it is my patriotic duty to shill for ReMarkable, it’s pretty good at being what it is.

It’s expensive, though.

that’s too fast, you can barely go to the bathroom, let alone eat your lunch

the third movie will be based on Dune Messiah, which I believe is the book where Herbert finally understood that subtlety is for people who don’t really care about their message :p

Why are you writing in Polish?
