The amount of projection in this post is hilarious
Oh you don't support Blizzard because they are a shit company? REEEE YOU MUST LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS YOU BASEMENT DWELLER!
Blizzard is not capable of making good games.
So this is all they can do, generate good press so people forget the game is shit.
Granted, I don't really care about this? In real life that shit is actually fricked up. However in a video game changing it is moronic, because no homeless person is every going to play this game, so these benches really only effect well off white liberals who just want it so they can feel better about themselves.
And none of the people that would actually complain about this would never ever dream of doing something to help a homeless person in real life.
Why bother? Chinks and normalgays will eat up whatever they shit out anyway. You see how much money they made off Diablo Immoral? How many morons gladly came back to pay for wow classic? A game you could play for free on private servers, where they actually have GMs that might sometimes do something to stop the rampant cheating. Unlike blizzard who do literally nothing but add cash shop nonsense to milk more money from the unthinking masses.
That’s what all this “inclusivity” bullshit is. It’s purely performative when these companies make a big deal about “representation” in media and not actually in the real world. At most they’ll make a tax-deductible donation to some other organization that pretends to care, but pockets 90% for themselves.
Corporate pride is the funniest shit.
And the fact that only some of them are only just now realizing the corpos don't care and are just using them for money like everything else is even funnier.
Congrats morons, this is exactly what you asked for.
isn't nestle one of the most famously evil companies out there right now? I don't think even waving the american flag like they are in that pic will boost their appeal to the people
Those people probably never dealt with real homeless people too. I'm not talking about those down on their luck quiet ones either. The full on drugged out shit pissing ones.
pretty much yeah
I'm glad all these problems are out in california and not where I live. the handful of homeless people in my town aren't sleeping outside of my house and attacking me with knives when I leave for work in the morning.
you're the type of person to defend homeless people until they're in your neighborhood digging through your trash, asking you for money and turning your lawn into a public toilet

>homeless man sits outside my starbucks every day harassing customers and people who walk by >used to give him free drinks and food because I felt bad for him >see him make like 300 dollars in a day and feel good for him >next day he comes in, reeking of shit in his pants, pulls out a crack pipe and starts hitting it, pulls down his pants and starts jerking his wiener with his shitty underwear smearing on the floor and then steals our tip jar
I'm sure he used that 300 dollars he got all on the drugs. And after that day I never gave him anything ever again and I advise all customers to do the same. Have had to call the cops on him multiple times as well. Yes a lot of homeless people are bad, because good people don't just all of a sudden become homeless. To be homeless you need to have two things >have some sort of mental disability >be such a piece of shit to every single person around you that you push every single one away to the point that they are done trying to help you
Then you need to just be completely incapable of getting a job or making friends and wala you are a crazy homeless moron.
I could wake up tomorrow to learn that everyone in my family died and I got fired from my job, but I still wouldn't be homeless because of connections I have made I would be able to find a place to live for a short time until I could get another job and get my life back on track. There is a reason these people are homeless and isn't "muh gubmints" or "muh israelites" or "muh bad luck."
Hang out with people like this and you'll see the same thing. They'll walk by the homeless like they're a literal pile of shit, but then chastise you for not getting all worked up along with them over some media about the homeless and use it as a sign that you don't care.
That's when you throw it back in their face and demand they actually do something to help a homeless person. Give them food, offer them shelter, guide them to a place that can give them aid, anything besides posting on twitter about how much they care about the homeless.
They don't care, there's more of them in the group reaffirming each others bullshit so anything else just hits a wall. Even though I was the one who would stop, give to, and bullshit with homeless when we would be out, while they would turn their back on them and get pissy with me to hurry up, I was an butthole because I wasn't "moved" by Slumdog Millionaire. That movie was apparently their first exposure to India and they wouldn't shut the frick up about it. >OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW IT IS THERE?! HOW WAS THAT MOVIE NOT GOOD TO YOU?!

So having control of their own bodies = "treating them like moronic children?" And why is it so difficult for men to control themselves as well?

You know these predatory federal agencies have their existence and budgets to justify, and peaceful, well functioning societies aren't good for business.
Nobody is getting offended, it's not about getting offended, it's about never missing an opportunity to try and pass as a paragon of goodness and seizing every opportunity to drape yourself in false virtue in public.
This example with the arm rests is, but generally speaking it's not just about homeless.
A lot of this stuff affects people that just want to use public infrastructure for its intended purposes too.
Benches that are purposefully uncomfortable, parks where the shaded areas are forbidden from entry, bridges that are purposefully much steeper than they need to be, shit like that.
These loons aren't angry, they just get off on the control and power they have. It's the social justice equivalent of a streamer saying your name. >we made Blizzard do a thing!
It's made so homeless people can't sleep.
Big city's are asholes I recommend breaking public infrastructure when in them in games ...
As if to imply they would help homeless people by altering a virtual bench in a videogame? Homeless people's priorities aren't on Overwatch 2 or benches in videogames
hobos are a detriment to any society they infest. being in "good spirit" to hobos is purposefully and directly hurting the people who try to make their communities better places.
its because these morons dont deal with the scum of the earth like you or I have. That's why they love Black folk so much. Every one knows homeless people and Black folk are annoying homosexuals except for these sheltered morons on twitter who think arm rests are a hate crime.
Because the homeless are just poor down on their luck people and should be allowed to sleep and loiter in and around public areas, tossing trash everywhere and yelling incoherently.
Wouldn't the constant gunfights prevent them from getting a good night's sleep too? Blizzard needs to remove all sounds in the game, to show compassion for the homeless.
In the 90s if we had had patching like today. The company would have just added a homeless guy to the bench to get blown up. Hostile architecture would have saved that bums life.
Hostile architecture in this context refers to those little mini rails on the benches that prevent homeless from sleeping on them.
Not surprising that Overwatch would virtue signal by putting in the effort to change this, Californians will do anything to keep the homeless population on streets indefinitely.
You can't? I'm excited to see a world in 20 years where every bench has a homeless person on them. Nice world liberals
I'm being facetious, we need more homeless shelters and help, but allowing them to sleep in very public areas is pretty cringe and not solving the problem
There are 2 million empty office spaces awaiting renovation in israelite York society is making them suffer.
Without construction regulations they would all build a something.
That doesn't address homelessness. It's the same non-answer as talking about benches.
The issue of homelessness is 99% mental-illness and/or drug addiction, not being without a place to live. People always make the mistake of the latter. "Just put that schizophrenic in an empty office. He'll get his life together."
We are talking about men and I know how to fix them in theory.
They need hope in a better tomorrow.
If you could prove to them the effort is worth it they would fix their life's.
But for that you need a good society and female's so they can dream of a nice family.
The past has the solutions.

I don't get it either because this game takes place in a future where homeless people or even just dirt on the streets doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Overwatch does not take place in a utopia. It's just the future with Black folk replaced with omnics and there are still violent gangs and criminals homeless robots(lmao) etc..
It's a real thing. A lot of public spaces are designed to be as unappealing as possible for loiterers and homeless, that's the reason you sometimes have those super uncomfortable wire benches that purposefully dig into your legs for example, cities don't actually want people to use them for longer than a few minutes.
Why not just have someone throw the bum out instead of having all of us suffer because our society is a passive-aggressive little b***h that can't confront a fricking hobo?

>UNION BUSTING >SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIMS
Unions so more bureaucracy with shittier products and sexual assault claims because some socially inept frick looked at the hole wrong.
no matter how many years pass, nobody ever understands the concept of marketing stunts or outrage utilization
their advertisements live in your heads rent free and you dont even notice
I would argue that the constant utilization of outrage marketing is having the opposite of the intended effect. I have made a personal rule that if I get even a whiff of wokeshit I will find an alternative.
it's not aiming at you, you may just be a catalyst helping it spread
the intended target are normalgays who dont have time to worry about politics
this thread is one example of the multiplying effect they're after
so many eyes are drawn to their products that the little bit of hate they generate pales in comparison
and on top of that, it's free, no expensive campaign required
it's the same reason companies never clarify if they're going to censor sexy parts or not, it's free publicity
Hostile architecture is based because I don't like the perpetually (usually by choice) homeless and really hate skaters. Also frick pigeons, bird spikes on all possible perches that aren't trees are good.
The only people who complain about hostile architecture are those who’ve never had to deal with the homeless. People need to accept that like 99% of the homeless are not poor down-on-their-luck decent folk, they’re drug addicts and/or crazy buttholes who cause trouble and stir up shit. More resources like shelters don’t help, because you can’t shoot up drugs there and they’d rather pass out in their vomit on a bench at the children’s playground.
I've dealt with the homeless and that's why I want real measures like a bullet between their eyebrows instead of minor inconvenience that doesn't fricking solve anything but make them even more belligerent.
Bums are direct result of the shitty environments they live in. If cities weren't corrupt shitholes with hostile economies and massive drug problems, there would be no bums to worry about.

On one hand it's so ridiculously small that it's extremely stupid to even change such a small detail. On the other hand, it's so ridiculously small that it's extremely stupid to even make threads about them changing it. Who's gonna be the bigger person here Ganker?
it starts with little changes like rainbows and changes to static models then as they get a tighter griphold you starts to see what happens on the right of the image where core fundamental gameplay and lore that has existed in the game for 20+ years is changed in the name of "diversity" because some homosexual consultant they hired at the advice of their homosexual staff said they should. Because once one homosexual get a foothold in a company they start infesting it recommending and advocating for more lgbt people to join a company.
What distracts me most is "pride" has been mainstream for a long time and is seemingly everywhere, which nullifies the use of the word. "pride" implies a counter culture. If the culture likes homosexual what is the point continueing to wear homosexual like a scarlet letter.
>If the culture likes homosexual what is the point continueing to wear homosexual like a scarlet letter.

Yeah I knew the end was coming when THE GOD DAMN RAINBOW wasn't enough for these freaks
Its existence is confirmation of that black activists were b***hing about how the LGBTQ+ movement was trying to co-opt their movements or ride the coattails at the very least. It also symbolically singles out the "browns" from the rest of the rainbow, separating the LGBTQ+ ones from the rest, as if their struggles as one of the rainbow coalition wasn't a shared one with the rest. It's amazing watching all of the absolute hate for it and realizations coming from it for those who didn't believe the canaries from the start calling where this would all eventually go (the black band on it is apparently for inclusion of AIDS victims)
America is such a moronic wasteland of brainlet appeasement. Instead of actually fixing the homeless problem with funded shelters and rehabilitation programs to get these people back on their feet, American society aims for the most bottom of the barrel shit like fricking benches that can't be slept on.
It's like pissing your pants about a house being on fire with people inside because the burning insulation is hurting the climate. It completely misses the fricking problem entirely.
The most comfortable cities to be homeless have the most homeless people. More shelters means more people can withstand being homeless. Also if you don't aim for benches that can't be slept on, you get benches that can't be sat on because a homeless person is on it.
>The most comfortable cities to be homeless have the most homeless people
Because it simply moves the homeless elsewhere. Its production of homeless people has not been curbed, it's just pushing the problem onto another city.
Homeless people can travel and some have a choice on what city they want to be homeless in, but most homeless people are home grown. The cities with the most homeless people created them rather than attracting them for the most part
We had federally funded programs for addiction, and facilities for housing and caring for morons and the mentally ill, until the federal government decided in the 80s they didn't want to fund it anymore, came up with a bullshit excuse of 'they have rights to not be kept in these!' and shoved the problem onto the states.
You can blame Ronald Reagan for that, and everyone after him for not fixing that titanic error. At least he died from mental complications as a delicious irony.

Ideally all of the US would strictly have this cultural lifestyle through the way discussed above. Since Alaska is so far removed from the rest of the US and also very sparsely populated it will be difficult to manage but with good leadership I think it'd be possible.

through propaganda and restrictions other options will not be there. even if you despise it, your sons/daughters might only hate it, their sons and daughters might only slightly hate it etc, etc. basically generational mind control only non-woke.
non-revealing outfits. plain colors. >Why?
non-revealing because the values in my hypothetical post-revolution america there'd be a return to the non-degenerate. People will no longer walk around half naked or with prolapsed rectums. >This did frick all to stop the emergence of hippies, punks, rock'n'roll, or any other form of 'degenerate' or anti-establishment subculture.
Emergances of sub-cultures is a non-issue. Again, with unrelenting generational indoctrination society can be whatever you want to be. >Why is that ideal? I don't want to get rid southern BBQ food because that style of cooking isn't viable in the rest of the country and thus can't be made uniform.

Doesn't answer the question of why, and you are completely delusional if you think that you can somehow prevent the emergence of new genres of music. You would have to prevent all private citizens from owning musical instruments, completely cut off America from the internet and prevent all Americas from ever traveling, anyone else from ever visiting, you would have to destroy every radio that could pick up on frequencies playing different music and you'd have to turn the state into a totalitarian shithole that somehow enforces this. >non-revealing because the values in my hypothetical post-revolution america there'd be a return to the non-degenerate

not nesecarily. With proper weaponization of propaganda, over multiple generations, you can mold society, and the tastes of those society, whatever you want. If you compare the 1950's with modern times you can see a clear shift in values and morals, things intrinsically linked with the culture. this has been achieved through propaganda from reigning politicians and their weaponization of media. With enough time and with enough propaganda and demonization you can, really subtely too, shift tastes in every facet of life. >Why is this desirable?
because disdain for the degenerate is a core value of the culture. Sex and sex related things should be kept to the bedroom and not flaunted about in public.

you wouldn't. through proper use of propaganda you won't be listening to anything else in the first place. if you are than it's not a problem, the propaganda just needs to do it's work for a bit more time.
>Because classical music doesn't consern itself with degeneracy and hyper-sexualisation of anything that has a hole. A core value of the main-culture.

No, you can't.
Both sides were in on it. The Democrats focused on the "muh rights" bullshit with eventual allusions and then sometimes confessions of it being about money, and the Republicans were pretty open about it being about money from the start. I'm sure opening the immigration floodgates and creating problems like crack epidemics also contributed to the whole "lol this costs too much" outcome, similar to how Europe faced the same strain on their social services in the 2010s.
>America is such a moronic wasteland of brainlet appeasement. Instead of actually fixing the homeless problem with funded shelters and rehabilitation programs to get these people back on their feet
We have those in western Europe and most of these people still on the streets at this point are so fricking damaged you will never get them off the streets for more than a couple of months. Or just gypsies. Frick gypsies.
Why does government not represent your interest anymore.
They clearly can fix the problem but won't.
They declared 10k homeless max per city.
No just send Israel 40b/y
Dear blizzard
The lack of obesity representation in overwatch is something I can no longer condone. Please remedy this immediately by adding at least 50 pounds to mei, distributed primarily to the belly and buttocks with a little to the breasts.
We are talking about men and I know how to fix them in theory.
They need hope in a better tomorrow.
If you could prove to them the effort is worth it they would fix their life's.
But for that you need a good society and female's so they can dream of a nice family.
The past has the solutions.
This mess started with the right to vote and woman in the workforce.
Reverse that and you will go back.

>nooo you can't design things to keep homeless people from loitering on your property, you are bad and evil!
and yet you never see any of these people offering their own homes as shelter for homeless
interesting
anti homeless architecture is only anti homeless if there are homeless people to restrict. Unless the overwatch world has a homeless problem thats just a bench with arm rests.
Guys, I've got a question. Why do literal morons on this underage shithole, and online influencers (probably the same breed of moronic shitskin) always moan about forced roles? Why are these same corn-syrup inhaling morons only discussing headlines instead of the articles? What drives people to behave like this?
Oh no. It's an entire western world thing these past ten years. At least in cities where nobody cares to walk over and slap the officials proposing it in a well mannered way.
Many places like metros now have these butt-height railings you can lean against instead of benches.Becasue they take up less space, and again, the homeless and the drunks can't sleep on them.
I'm not a drunk or homeless, but I still want to fricking sit down or lie down sometimes.
I don't fricking understand why blizzard is doing half the shit they are. >Removed Mcrees noose tag because they thought it offended black people? I don't think I ever saw a single black person complain about it. >Now they change a literal bench on a map for "muh realism".
Did anyone actually complain about this or is blizz just virtue signaling everything they do now?
While this is absolutely stupid for "bad thing in game ddoes not mean bad thing in real life" reasons, admittedly the benches are pretty shitty even for non-homeless related reasons. Imagine you're just some old person walking around and your back or legs hurt so you figure you'l take a rest on a public bench - only to find the bench is intentionally uncomfortable so you can only sit on it for a very short period and in certain ways.
Anyway, Blizz is just losing their shit and to answer this anon's question , it honesty seems like 2 things together in some sort of horrible symbiosis
>To distract from and look good in spite of their union busting, crunch, fricking awful game design issues, Kotick and similar stupid exec pay , and actual shitty work practices, the execs have basically turned the lever to "anything that could possibly offend anyone, especially 'marginalized groups" who will complain on twitter and make us look bad, gets tossed >Some of the employees that remain are basically politically correct everything-is-offensive stereotypes and they are now allowed to "bring these things to attention" and they claim that "X is problematic" and/or they find some Twitter moroon who claims the same thing and says "see, it needs to be changed"
So essentially we have a perfect storm. Some of the remaining developers are the oversensitive kind that have always held a grudge or found things offensive - WoW is a perfect example. Finkle Einhorn and all the major censorship changes last year in a patch .... one of the devs involved basically said "We saw these things were problematic for years so don't say NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS. WE are asking for this and now the bosses are basically letting us finally change it". Its a whole shitfricking situation mostly because ActiBlizz wants to wag the dog so they can get away with exploitative bullshit against players and workers alike, so they encourage this "problematic" smokescreen rainbow capitalism
Imagine you're an old person and you rest on a public bench, only to find out it has comfy arm rests for every seat
Just the implication the benches were bad had more weight that your own eyes. It's not a "bad thing in game" to begin with. It's a normal bench for normal sitting.
These are never comfy, and the design in game doesnt necessarily look that way either. I could see an argument given the size, but if the rest of the bench is cushioned then why not also make them out of the same cushioned materials? Anyway if you want an armrest then you sit at the end of the bench. Putting them in the middle like that is constricting, prohibits stretching out or leaning even if you're the only person on it, and otherwise can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. "Normal" benches are not set up in that regard, there's a reason its an unusual design where a standard bench is one long unbroken seating surface. If they want multiple chairs like in an airport or something they can do that instead - and even those are considered uncomfortable as people b***h about how you can';t really relax on them too .
Going back to WoW Vanilla ("classic" ) there was a Gnome NPC named Finkle Einhorn who, in UBRS and other end game areas gave certain quests - he was wearing a diving suit and was diving in the lava of Blackrock mountain. There were also items named after him, such as Finkle's Skinner, a dagger I remember my Hunter had which was also a skinning knife etc. Pretty innocuous right? He didn't say or do anything offensive, even "they" admit this.
>So what's the problem?
The name is a reference to a 90s Jim Carrey movie called Ace Ventura Pet Detective, one of the movies that gave Carrey his start. Anyway, the bad guy named "finkle" basically crossdressed as a woman who's last name was "einhorn" in order to escape murder charges and in the finale there's a big thing about "finkle is einhorn, einhorn is finkle " that was basically a memeable joke of the era, ending with EINHORN IS MAN?! and Carrey's character throwing up because Einhorn (played by a biological woman and a relatively attractive one) was revealed to be a guy. To "prove" Einhorn's identity as the killer, Finkle, Ace Ventury basically pulls down Einhorn's skirt revealing a tucked bulge visible from behind and protruding, which then everyone starts to get sick and throw up as I recall.
Needless to say the trannies lost their shit that anything even tangentially connected to this was in the game, despite it being totally innocuous and just another Blizz old pop culture reference. Atop it Finkle wasn't even a troony, he was a killer who cross dressed specifically to escape prosecution but of course the problematic patrol figured even a gnome talking about dredging lava in a fantasy world was transphobic because of the names.
ever saw a guilty person making a scene so peoples wouldn't think he has done anything wrong? That's kinda the same with Blizzard, they're making a smoke screen so we don't remember there are buttholes in their ranks, ongoing harassment lawsuits and they let the governments spy on everyone playing their games.
Uhhh you're not supposed to mention the last part. Blizzard games are not spyware for the CIA, they are not a social experiment and they are certainly not run by glowies such as Ion Hazzikostas.
>waaah why aren't you letting le hoborinos live in your public spaces????
why don't these people take the homeless to their homes and take care of them there?
Most homeless are worthless drug addicts with some kind of mental illness. They cannot be redeemed and normal people rightfully look at them with derision. But no, I bet you would gladly sit on a bench some junkie pissed and shat on. Let them into your house if you're so compassionate for the dregs of society. Practice what you preach or what you say is meaningless.
Frick Off every single time homeless slept on the benches they ended up leaving a mess, shitting and pissing them marking them like animals, not only that but they would get mad at anyone getting even close to the damn thing
For a country that claims to be the strongest, smartest, richest one on Earth, you'd think it would be easy for the US to fix problems such as homelessness. But any suggestion of fixing and improving the country is crucified as being "too expensive" while blank checks are written to the military and other countries every year.
Its unbelievable how pro homeless the left really are, they sincerely believe the best solution is to leave them be. Only a coward would think turning a blind eye is compassion.
In their defense they're a lot more compassionate than the right whose main proposal is "stop being poor or we'll call the cops" granted the left have began adopting that mentality.
The issue is a lot of the other ideas are just plain bad and any attempt address any causes that'd ultimately only address small portions overall will never be popular. So it's easier to say "Why don't we turn hotels and vacant homes into free housing.
Do you know why homeless shelters won't let anyone under the influence in? Because those people simply can't be helped. In the EU there are systems in place to help these people but they can't be helped unless they make the first step themselves. They all have underlying causes for their homelessness which in many cases is addiction.
America can't be bothered to do anything about its own problems. Gotta spend all that time and money on other countries and the military to blow up people across the planet.
One of the things that irritates me most about false moralists is how they completely ignore beggars in the real world. You can be sure that 90% of the people who complained about this bench in the virtual world completely ignore beggars in their day-to-day experiences, I have seen this repeated hundreds of times, people who are concerned about "social justice" but don't even consider these guys human.
Yeah, it's the same how they'll whine about Black folk to everyone and force everyone to adhere to some sjw bullshit standards of speech and societal existence, until a black person doesn't agree with them or toe the line, then they'll literally call them "Black folk" or "Uncle Tom" and tear into them in a way that is everything they b***h about. There's a reason Malcolm X said he trusted the honesty of unapologetically racist people, as opposed to liberals crusading on their behalf.
Star Trek is an example of hideous homosexualry pretending to be perfect and it makes me sick to think of all the morons that hold it on a pedestal and try to model the real world after it.
>the Democrat solution to the "homeless problem" is letting people sleep on benches >the Republican solution is closing their eyes until the homeless die
>instead of just setting up a few dorm buildings that the homeless can sleep in
Why don't any sane city just do this?
They did something like that in Toronto where they gave a bunch of homeless people free hotel rooms. They fricking wrecked the place. You can't put people who belong in an asylum into a fricking free house like that.
They literally do dumbass. Problem is those dorms don't allow violent psychos or drug use. Those are the ones you see out and about.
There are tons of homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Homeless people aren't nice people who are just down on their luck, they are mentally ill junkies who want to be homeless because the shelters don't allow them to do drugs.
Why not set up a few asylums and put the ones that belong in them in there then? Why would anyone want a violent psycho out sleeping on public benches?
The US destroyed its mental health care system back in the 80s and refuses to do anything about it and the millions of mentally-disabled people and PTSD-stricken veterans living on the streets.
There are tons of homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Homeless people aren't nice people who are just down on their luck, they are mentally ill junkies who want to be homeless because the shelters don't allow them to do drugs.
>why don't US politicians do things that would benefit others
lol
lmao
homelessness and hunger could be solved overnight but it's more profitable to slam spikes and dump produce into landfills.
because land is expensive as shit to buy, build, own and maintain
this is the worst way to fix what is essentially an economic problem, you need to fix it with money not infrastructure
there are tons of homeless shelters in LA and San Fran, the homeless capitols of the US
guess what?
none of them use them
because they're a bunch of mentally ill addicts
>Let a bunch of dirty literally crazy people have their own enclave inside the city >What could go wrong?
Do you really not see the issue with starting public housing but with everyone even POORER and MORE addicted to drugs?
Alright but what would happen if people cried out that they are being ablist because the arm rest help disabled people sit down and get up ftom benches. What if some on claimed benchs with out arm rests gave them pstd because they got stuck on one years ago and now no longer go to parks because of it
The bench is uncomfortable for a reason. Maybe we SHOULD be punishing people for poor life decisions. Your way of life is not worthy of respecting. You are an addict who needs help and if you refuse it, you will be treated like the scum you are. Your "freedom" is not respectable or honorable, you are the symptom of an empire in decline. Either get help or overdose and just die already.
Normalgays can be cruelest >just let the homeless sleep on benches! problem solved
No you fricking horrible normalgays, benches are not proper shelters and even then that won't solve a thing, homeless people need psychological help
These gaslight-y no u attempts at reverse psychology are hilarious, not the normalgays are divine angels or anything, but sociopathic outcast like you literally want to take away one of the few places they have to sleep in the first place while voting against things that'll allow them a better life in the first place.

How about, and hear me out here, instead of changing benches, or pandering to other social nonsense, Blizzard instead tries making a good video game?
Shocking shit I'm sure, but they haven't done that in almost a decade so it might be time to retry that formula.
Blizzard devs play exclusively Nintendo games, that's what their inspiration is. No surprise that they make only shit now.
The frick are you talking about?
Everything I hate is Nintendo, duh. They're responsible for everything that upsets me.
If doing better is so easy why do you still live with your parents?
So I can help my retired father pay the bills.
Bet your family hates you kek
The amount of projection in this post is hilarious
Oh you don't support Blizzard because they are a shit company? REEEE YOU MUST LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS YOU BASEMENT DWELLER!
generating controversy and pandering to tards means nobody questions the shit gameplay
Blizzard is not capable of making good games.
So this is all they can do, generate good press so people forget the game is shit.
Granted, I don't really care about this? In real life that shit is actually fricked up. However in a video game changing it is moronic, because no homeless person is every going to play this game, so these benches really only effect well off white liberals who just want it so they can feel better about themselves.
And none of the people that would actually complain about this would never ever dream of doing something to help a homeless person in real life.
tf u mean almost a decade? its been well over 15 years.
i was in new york city for a month and those mf absolute don't give a frick. they are unstobable.
homosexuals might kill themselves in frustration and that would be a big no-no for ~~*them*~~
Too hard. They won't do it.
Why would they? They earn billions with diablo immortal
Why bother? Chinks and normalgays will eat up whatever they shit out anyway. You see how much money they made off Diablo Immoral? How many morons gladly came back to pay for wow classic? A game you could play for free on private servers, where they actually have GMs that might sometimes do something to stop the rampant cheating. Unlike blizzard who do literally nothing but add cash shop nonsense to milk more money from the unthinking masses.
a game about killing each other can't have hostile architecture
Well duh, it'd be a mess if there was a third team.
I don't get it
Fatphobic benches.
Arm rests are hostile design because they prevent homeless from sleeping on them.
>People on twitter get offended about made up homeless people in a video game instead of trying to help real homeless people
That’s what all this “inclusivity” bullshit is. It’s purely performative when these companies make a big deal about “representation” in media and not actually in the real world. At most they’ll make a tax-deductible donation to some other organization that pretends to care, but pockets 90% for themselves.
>the essence of life is not a human right
Holy shit

Corporate pride is the funniest shit.
And the fact that only some of them are only just now realizing the corpos don't care and are just using them for money like everything else is even funnier.
Congrats morons, this is exactly what you asked for.
isn't nestle one of the most famously evil companies out there right now? I don't think even waving the american flag like they are in that pic will boost their appeal to the people
you gotta admit though, it's a brilliant strategy. big business finally found a way to get lefties in their pocket.
Those people probably never dealt with real homeless people too. I'm not talking about those down on their luck quiet ones either. The full on drugged out shit pissing ones.
Homeless people
LE BAD
pretty much yeah
I'm glad all these problems are out in california and not where I live. the handful of homeless people in my town aren't sleeping outside of my house and attacking me with knives when I leave for work in the morning.
you're the type of person to defend homeless people until they're in your neighborhood digging through your trash, asking you for money and turning your lawn into a public toilet
Maybe housing should be more affordable then
Sorry buddy but those 500K+ immigrants need housing first
>homeless man sits outside my starbucks every day harassing customers and people who walk by
>used to give him free drinks and food because I felt bad for him
>see him make like 300 dollars in a day and feel good for him
>next day he comes in, reeking of shit in his pants, pulls out a crack pipe and starts hitting it, pulls down his pants and starts jerking his wiener with his shitty underwear smearing on the floor and then steals our tip jar
I'm sure he used that 300 dollars he got all on the drugs. And after that day I never gave him anything ever again and I advise all customers to do the same. Have had to call the cops on him multiple times as well. Yes a lot of homeless people are bad, because good people don't just all of a sudden become homeless. To be homeless you need to have two things
>have some sort of mental disability
>be such a piece of shit to every single person around you that you push every single one away to the point that they are done trying to help you
Then you need to just be completely incapable of getting a job or making friends and wala you are a crazy homeless moron.
I could wake up tomorrow to learn that everyone in my family died and I got fired from my job, but I still wouldn't be homeless because of connections I have made I would be able to find a place to live for a short time until I could get another job and get my life back on track. There is a reason these people are homeless and isn't "muh gubmints" or "muh israelites" or "muh bad luck."
Hang out with people like this and you'll see the same thing. They'll walk by the homeless like they're a literal pile of shit, but then chastise you for not getting all worked up along with them over some media about the homeless and use it as a sign that you don't care.
That's when you throw it back in their face and demand they actually do something to help a homeless person. Give them food, offer them shelter, guide them to a place that can give them aid, anything besides posting on twitter about how much they care about the homeless.
They don't care, there's more of them in the group reaffirming each others bullshit so anything else just hits a wall. Even though I was the one who would stop, give to, and bullshit with homeless when we would be out, while they would turn their back on them and get pissy with me to hurry up, I was an butthole because I wasn't "moved" by Slumdog Millionaire. That movie was apparently their first exposure to India and they wouldn't shut the frick up about it.
>OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW IT IS THERE?! HOW WAS THAT MOVIE NOT GOOD TO YOU?! DON'T YOU CARE?!!!
Homeless people have no money whatsoever
Companies try to pander to groups for maximum profit
Do the math
the problem is that the homeless shouldnt exist in overwatch universe. makes no sense.
Why do so many people think Overwatch takes place in a utopia?
because everything looks and feels sterilized and the setting lacks any kind of grit or depth because the writers are pussies
I don't fully disagree, but you can see gang fights and homelessness in a couple of those Overwatch animations on Youtube. Several maps also have grafiti and racism depicted (towards omnics) etc..
Real homeless are 99% white males.
That's leftists for you. By the way, care to guess what all the BLM anti-racists are calling Clarence Thomas?
You mean liberals not leftist, and yes Clarence Thomas is a coon, it's a term for a self-hating black person.
>You mean liberals not leftist
You are functionally the same, and result in the same shit, even if you don't like admitting it.
>it's a term for a self-hating black person.
>Wants to stop black babies getting aborted
Damn, he's more BLM than all you BLM anti-racists slinging racial slurs at him lmao
>You are functionally the same, and result in the same shit
To someone ignorant whose understanding of politics stops at social issues and video games? Probably.
to stop black babies getting aborted
Because more kids who cant be taken care of and are born into a racist broken piece of shit system is definitely what we need more of.
>To someone ignorant whose understanding of politics stops at social issues and video games? Probably.
I see you're still not ready to admit it.
>and are born into a racist broken piece of shit system is definitely what we need more of
Guess this is good motivation for you to finally fix your "racist system" then. Maybe more rioting, looting, burning, and murder will do the trick.
why do people who know nothing about leftist ideology insist on calling that aren't left leftists?
>functionally
>I'll just double down on my wrong point instead of trying to obtain an understanding of the thing I cry about daily
many such cases here
Again you can say
>muh ideology
all you want but you are still functionally the same and still result in the same shit.
>I see you're still not ready to admit it.
Once liberals kindly hand over the means of production to the workers, sure.
>Maybe more rioting, looting, burning, and murder will do the trick.
You make a good point anon, the french had a point all those years ago. Where do you think we should start setting up the guillotines?
what did marx think about black people
Marx was a piece of shit, but he had some decent ideas. I'm an Anarchist/Libertarians Socialist. I'm not one of these autist Marxist-Leninists that treats the communist manifesto as gospel.
>anarkiddy
dont worry, you'll grow out of it eventually
>I'm an Anarchist/Libertarians Socialist
>I'm an anti-state/capitalist statist
>implying anarchists think about how their society would function
Libertarianism was originally a left idealogy referring to a stateless society run by the people, then rightoids highjacked it years later to refer to tech-bro capitalism nonsense.
99% of those riots didn't even burn or loot black businesses lmao, how many times do you have to be told the riots are an excuse to steal from the races that stole from them? Black people fricking hate all of their money going to white and especially Asian and Arab business owners in their communities, the odd black person killed in these riots is a fluke/accident vs the very intentional mini race war that happens each time
>the riots are an excuse to steal from the races that stole from them?
Yeah, no shit, black people have gotten the shit end of the stick for centuries and still are, a lot of them are angry and lash out, 94% of those protests were peaceful and no amount of autistic screeching is gonna change that though.
Is the victim status ever going to run out or will you keep perpetuating it to virtue signal? Or, if it does ever run out, what's the next group you'll use to your benefit?
>Never set up businesses in their own communities.
>When the few that do try to, they get robbed by duh community anyways.
There's a reason those who make it out never go back. They're the ones who are smart enough to see it's a lost cause, save for the other smart ones like them who are still stuck there.
>Let ME tell YOU what's best for you, you dumb Black person!
It's amazing that the venomous conduct of the self-proclaimed white (and ~~*white*~~) allies of the blacks is the one thing that made me empathetic to the shit the good ones have to deal with. The bad ones never get the harsh criticism that the leftists reserve for the ones who want to genuinely find a better way for their own that doesn't toe the approved line.
>still trying to convince everyone that the right gives a homosexual's ass about fetuses
First you should try convincing us you give a shit about people who are actually alive and existent. Every time a bunch of school children are slaughtered by someone with guns you immediately start rallying around the second amendment while parading the dead kids as the price society must pay for liberty and bearing arms.
Don't expect consistency from far-right extremists, they're literally incapable of analytical thought.

>First you should try convincing us you give a shit about people who are actually alive and existent
Because every time I suggest that those people practice extremely basic self-control and personal responsibility, you people start frothing at the mouth and screaming about how you would rather just scramble fetuses. For people who respect women so much you sure do insist on treating them like moronic children who can't be held accountable.
>Every time a bunch of school children are slaughtered by someone with guns you immediately start rallying around the second amendment while parading the dead kids as the price society must pay for liberty and bearing arms.
Cool, take guns away from the people who legally own them and defund the police. That'll be something to see.
>Because every time I suggest that those people practice extremely basic self-control and personal responsibility
Oh frick off with the puritanical bs, people have been fricking for millennia and they will continue to frick for millennia whether you like it or not. Not only that, but the right is going after ALL forms of birth control, including condoms, so there is more at play here than just "ohhh nooo, what about the poor lifeless crotch soup?"
>going after condoms
I've never heard that, where did you hear it?
https://www.statnews.com/2022/06/24/supreme-court-decision-suggests-the-legal-right-to-contraception-is-also-under-threat/
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/thomas-constitutional-rights-00042256
So they are planning on, once again, making it up to the states to decide (as the Constitution is written). ie only upsets stupid people.
why is it a good thing?
not that anon but here you are
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf
thomas writes that the courts should reconsider some cases, one of which is in regards to contraception access.
>Because every time I suggest that those people practice extremely basic self-control and personal responsibility, you people start frothing at the mouth and screaming about how you would rather just scramble fetuses. For people who respect women so much you sure do insist on treating them like moronic children who can't be held accountable.
So having control of their own bodies = "treating them like moronic children?" And why is it so difficult for men to control themselves as well? Funny how all anti-abortion rhetoric is 100% aimed at women when it takes a dick and balls to make the embryo.
>Cool, take guns away from the people who legally own them and defund the police. That'll be something to see.
And that's all you fricktards can come back with, "Oh no all the people with their bomsticks who are innocent, frick those dead brats and their grieving parents!". And yes, those police who did absolutely nothing to stop the murderer as he went around killing kids and cutting off their heads should be defunded and themselves thrown in prison.
>Guns are the problem.
>Not the feds doing shit like trying to radicalize that suicidal Muslim kid to commit terrorist acts instead of just hanging himself like he planned to do. Or you know, maybe getting him some fricking help.
You know these predatory federal agencies have their existence and budgets to justify, and peaceful, well functioning societies aren't good for business.
Nobody is getting offended, it's not about getting offended, it's about never missing an opportunity to try and pass as a paragon of goodness and seizing every opportunity to drape yourself in false virtue in public.
Wait they are angry because of hobos? I thought it was fat related crap.
This example with the arm rests is, but generally speaking it's not just about homeless.
A lot of this stuff affects people that just want to use public infrastructure for its intended purposes too.
Benches that are purposefully uncomfortable, parks where the shaded areas are forbidden from entry, bridges that are purposefully much steeper than they need to be, shit like that.
>pandering to the burdens of society (in video games)
lol
lmao
These loons aren't angry, they just get off on the control and power they have. It's the social justice equivalent of a streamer saying your name.
>we made Blizzard do a thing!
As if to imply they would help homeless people by altering a virtual bench in a videogame? Homeless people's priorities aren't on Overwatch 2 or benches in videogames
Eh it's at least in good spirits
murder is ok but THINK OF THE HECKING HOMELESS
hobos are a detriment to any society they infest. being in "good spirit" to hobos is purposefully and directly hurting the people who try to make their communities better places.
I hate society the food is toxic so is the air these days lost tv comics years ago what's left?
Frick it let it rott.
>what's left?
not a single one of your braincells if there even were any to begin with.
Sure genius bet you will love when the state declares your home public property because that's coming.
One south American pet is in your future.
It's obviously not and you're a moron.
>they prevent homeless from sleeping on them.
but that is good, How the hell is it hostile?
its because these morons dont deal with the scum of the earth like you or I have. That's why they love Black folk so much. Every one knows homeless people and Black folk are annoying homosexuals except for these sheltered morons on twitter who think arm rests are a hate crime.
Because the homeless are just poor down on their luck people and should be allowed to sleep and loiter in and around public areas, tossing trash everywhere and yelling incoherently.
Do a lot of homeless people live in Overwatch 2?
do they have hobos in OW2 maps? if yes, can i shoot them?
Wouldn't the constant gunfights prevent them from getting a good night's sleep too? Blizzard needs to remove all sounds in the game, to show compassion for the homeless.
When your brain is spiked off meth abuse you tend to get triggered by the memories of trying to sleep on metal
In the 90s if we had had patching like today. The company would have just added a homeless guy to the bench to get blown up. Hostile architecture would have saved that bums life.
why explain it if you can post a picture.
Do people here still know this is an IB?
>these edits again
but why
Ah I don't have that since I put an anti pitbull pic where he killed a child
Bench you say?
What's an IB
Image board.
Homeless people won't be playing the game so who the frick is getting offended?
People who pretend to care about the homeless
Those are the “don’t let hobos sleep here” benches.
It's made so homeless people can't sleep.
Big city's are asholes I recommend breaking public infrastructure when in them in games ...
It's just gonna be your money that fixes them. Kill a politician in minecraft instead larping gaylord
Oh I don't pay tax
Hostile architecture in this context refers to those little mini rails on the benches that prevent homeless from sleeping on them.
Not surprising that Overwatch would virtue signal by putting in the effort to change this, Californians will do anything to keep the homeless population on streets indefinitely.
But where is that bench at? It doesn't look like the public street. Are businesses supposed to make their benches also non hostile to homeless people?
blizzard distracting you from the fact they're still raping and bobby is on the epstein list
Because you can't have benches that prevent homeless people from sleeping on them?
You can't? I'm excited to see a world in 20 years where every bench has a homeless person on them. Nice world liberals
I'm being facetious, we need more homeless shelters and help, but allowing them to sleep in very public areas is pretty cringe and not solving the problem
There are 2 million empty office spaces awaiting renovation in israelite York society is making them suffer.
Without construction regulations they would all build a something.
That doesn't address homelessness. It's the same non-answer as talking about benches.
The issue of homelessness is 99% mental-illness and/or drug addiction, not being without a place to live. People always make the mistake of the latter. "Just put that schizophrenic in an empty office. He'll get his life together."
We are talking about men and I know how to fix them in theory.
They need hope in a better tomorrow.
If you could prove to them the effort is worth it they would fix their life's.
But for that you need a good society and female's so they can dream of a nice family.
The past has the solutions.
This mess started with the right to vote and woman in the workforce.
Reverse that and you will go back.
How about we wait for the mens' rights movement to fix you before we try it on homeless people
blowing funds on making them even more miserable isn't fixing anything either
have a nice day, troony
obsessed
American meme. We don't have homeless people in my city (they are given a place to sleep in) and we have benches like that.
Someone thinks the issue of homelessness is "hostile" architecture and wants superficial measures to help them.
Homeless will sleep on the ground if they have to. They're not really bothered by an armrest.
I hate them now I can't have sex in park's.
Public sex is awesome
it's a homosexual american thing.
virtual universes aren't allowed to have hostile architecture, it's perfectly fine irl though
here you go, the same place OP probably saw it, as it's linked in the comments of the article
https://www.reddit.com/r/HostileArchitecture/
>homeless person drools/farts/pisses on bench
>put hand on bench
>touch face
>get aids
Those benches kept beating up players and hurling racial slurs at them so it got banned for harassment.
fat people think making chairs that dont fit them is an attempt to genocide them
I don't get it either because this game takes place in a future where homeless people or even just dirt on the streets doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Overwatch does not take place in a utopia. It's just the future with Black folk replaced with omnics and there are still violent gangs and criminals homeless robots(lmao) etc..
homeless would still exist as a kind of refugee situation with robot attacks and such.
https://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2018/aug/21/hostile-architecture-an-uncomfortable-urban-art-in-pictures
We live in a world of inequality
What the frick "Hostile Architecture" even is? Is it some sort of made up bullshit that oppresses troons rights for some reason?
It means architecture that prevents homeless junkies from sleeping on benches
It's a real thing. A lot of public spaces are designed to be as unappealing as possible for loiterers and homeless, that's the reason you sometimes have those super uncomfortable wire benches that purposefully dig into your legs for example, cities don't actually want people to use them for longer than a few minutes.
nah it's a real thing designed to make bums frick off. shit like putting spikes under overpasses so that they can't camp out there.
Why not just have someone throw the bum out instead of having all of us suffer because our society is a passive-aggressive little b***h that can't confront a fricking hobo?
why would anyone want to contribute to a society that shits on people who already don't have anything
Why would I want to contribute to a society that panders to people who don't contribute to it?
are you going to question why someone may not want to contribute to it? and is letting them sleep in some dystopian city really pandering?
>are you going to question why someone may not want to contribute to it?
>homeless are le noble rebels
You really are an insufferable homosexual, but your answer is drugs. And mental illness. Usually both. None of which is my concern.
>and is letting them sleep in some dystopian city really pandering?
Yes.
Because they'll move right back in 30 minutes later when they guy who kicked them out leaves. So now you need to have another guy on your payroll to constantly be kicking out the bums, and him being shanked by a shit-covered shard of glass is not a question of if, but when.
The REAL hostile architecture is making nuclear waste sites creepy as frick so people who might not even understand our present language might know to frick off from them.
>Let's turn our actual dangerous spaces into cartoon adventure quest areas for future stupid heroes
Good thing nuclear waste is anywhere near as dangerous as people like to make it sound, or this could be a real issue.
>anywhere
You mean nowhere, ESL-kun, right?
They should actually add a lot of bushes and places to hide, so addicts and thieves will go there and get cancer
>some ancient civilization has spent colossal effort to make us frick off from somewhere
>surely that means that's where all the loot is hidden
What now?
isn't that coffin going to be useless and need added onto in like 30 year or else the radiation will start spreading again or something?

I live within eyeshot of a place in america where it almost happened too. like 11 minutes more and half the state of pennsylvania and most of maryland would have been completely uninhabitable.
>ONLY a hundred years
That's fricking plenty. No reason they can't keep replacing it if that's the kind of periods they're working around.
100 years from now the surface should be relatively fine as long as you dont go inside
>that place is fricked, man

Nobody said they melted into puddles. But many of the soldiers did decide to poke around in the radioactive areas and take souvenirs of radioactive materials.

Why have more than one?
whats stopping us, from being the vocal minority and ask Blizzard to change small meaningless shit in the game and make it worse for the fans?
Because it's already happening regardless and you're a black-pilling Black person.
"Hostile architecture" is such a cool term, it makes me think of the Combine walls in Half-Life 2 that gradually demolish the city as they expand.
Then I find out that it's about little changes that make drugged homeless people's fee-fees hurt.
>hostile
wut? how is it hostile?
Its just the term for it. Practical use is to keep homeless from camping out on the commons.
Proposed use is for burying nuclear waste that we have no present use or refinement for.
Is not for homeless
Skating and bird nest too
I honestly dont get it
YOU CAN JUST HECKIN STOP HOMELESS PEOPLE FROM SLEEPING ON BENCHES CHUD
where's the "after" image?
Finally someone thinks of the virtual homeless people.
thank you blizzard for doing the needful and saving racism
Hostile architecture is stupid as it detracts livability from the populace in general. If a vagrant is waving a knife at people, just dome him and move on
>fan request
No, they did it because they saw something that could be used against them and remove it. It's always bullshit when they say a fan or fans complained.
>person b***hes about something on twitter, therefor, bot posts screencap to reddit, people on reddit b***h about thing people b***hed about on twitter, therefor, bot posts screencap to Ganker, people on Ganker about thing people b***hed about on both reddit and twitter, rinse and repeat ad infinitum
The internet didn't die it was murdered
but we both replied the thread, so we're complicit
You have to admit that what takes an artist two hours to fix and attach to the next patch rollout probably is worth the PR you get from it. Like what is that, like $200 in labour including overhead? You probably get enough morons buying lootboxes to cover that cost easily.
It's pandering sure, but it's like the easiest money on the planet.
You trannies only excuse it because you know once your parents pass you'll be homeless too lmao
I doubt it too longer than a few minutes to delete some arm rest models jutting out clipping ugly as shit in the middle of the bench
>Mollie Taylor
>Hostile architecture
First time i'm hearing this. Is it like those spikes on top of shops / signs so pigeons don't nest and shit everywhere?
Yes. It also keeps homeless away
yeah, but for homeless people
Yeah, stuff like that.
Designs that serve no aesthetic purpose, oftentimes even detract from it, and are only there to limit and restrict what others are doing.
Fat people are not human
Mollie Taylor is a cute goth girl with big breasts
Nice.

oh i laugh. The cultural change imposed upon companies is massive, and many many of both the workers and executives genuinely believe in this shit. It's a cope to think that it's all for show. The devs that changed these benches genuinely feel good about doing it, I can assure you.
This. They literally believe the directives of Larry Fink as religious gospel.
>UNION BUSTING
>SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIMS
Unions so more bureaucracy with shittier products and sexual assault claims because some socially inept frick looked at the hole wrong.
Are unions even worse than a company and no evidence? go frick yourself
Those are like real train station benches. But I guess the stupid offensed morons never leave their room anyway.
Yeah and real train station benches are made like that so homeless people can't sleep on them.
They can just go sleep on the overwatch benches now. Problem solved!
homeless people can sleep anywhere. they aren't deterred by armrests in the slightest
do you own a spine?
good, they end up pissing the damn benches every time
and that's a good thing bc homeless shelter exists.
why not just sleep UNDER the bench?
you mean like, on the floor?
yea
but under the bench so you get cozier
bcoz of rats
>hostile architecture
what does that mean?
Cities have added things to benches/architecture to make it impossible for hobos to sleep on them. Whiny liberals think it's bad
It's particularly funny because a homeless person would never have a chance to play the game and see the bench.
I'm sure all the virtual homeless who live on that video game map will be very grateful
no matter how many years pass, nobody ever understands the concept of marketing stunts or outrage utilization
their advertisements live in your heads rent free and you dont even notice
I would argue that the constant utilization of outrage marketing is having the opposite of the intended effect. I have made a personal rule that if I get even a whiff of wokeshit I will find an alternative.
it's not aiming at you, you may just be a catalyst helping it spread
the intended target are normalgays who dont have time to worry about politics
this thread is one example of the multiplying effect they're after
so many eyes are drawn to their products that the little bit of hate they generate pales in comparison
and on top of that, it's free, no expensive campaign required
it's the same reason companies never clarify if they're going to censor sexy parts or not, it's free publicity
Hostile architecture is based because I don't like the perpetually (usually by choice) homeless and really hate skaters. Also frick pigeons, bird spikes on all possible perches that aren't trees are good.
The only people who complain about hostile architecture are those who’ve never had to deal with the homeless. People need to accept that like 99% of the homeless are not poor down-on-their-luck decent folk, they’re drug addicts and/or crazy buttholes who cause trouble and stir up shit. More resources like shelters don’t help, because you can’t shoot up drugs there and they’d rather pass out in their vomit on a bench at the children’s playground.
I've dealt with the homeless and that's why I want real measures like a bullet between their eyebrows instead of minor inconvenience that doesn't fricking solve anything but make them even more belligerent.
the inconvenience isn't supposed to deal with them, it's supposed to make them someone else's problem
Exactly, and that problem bounces back and forth until it eventually becomes mine again.
>it's supposed to make them someone else's problem
If everyone does it, it will make them their own problem
Bums are direct result of the shitty environments they live in. If cities weren't corrupt shitholes with hostile economies and massive drug problems, there would be no bums to worry about.
Games with hostile architecture?
What if you sit backwards

In my chatolic shithole trannies are still lynched and homosexuals are barely tolerated, they can have their gay pride but if they start asking for more they get fricking shut down.
You unironically need more Jesus Christ
Nobody cares about your 3rd world shithole
You clearly do.
Our police officers can legally ask a troony "deadname" and if he refuse to say it they are also legally allowed to beat the freak down and kill it.
Can your people beat the freaks in daylight and get away with it?
In America If a cop breathes on a troony and it kills itself the cop will be convicted of murder.
>In America If a cop breathes on a troony and it kills itself the cop will be convicted of murder.
whay if the cop was a trannu too, what would happen? division by zero?
their boss would be fired and the troony promoted
nah i like the phrase. it conveys the meaning to a real concept well.
You aren't allowed to care about that.
On one hand it's so ridiculously small that it's extremely stupid to even change such a small detail. On the other hand, it's so ridiculously small that it's extremely stupid to even make threads about them changing it. Who's gonna be the bigger person here Ganker?

yeah yeah. and yet its nazis that control the world today.
it starts with little changes like rainbows and changes to static models then as they get a tighter griphold you starts to see what happens on the right of the image where core fundamental gameplay and lore that has existed in the game for 20+ years is changed in the name of "diversity" because some homosexual consultant they hired at the advice of their homosexual staff said they should. Because once one homosexual get a foothold in a company they start infesting it recommending and advocating for more lgbt people to join a company.
>No rainbows?! IN MY VIDEO GAME?!
>MY
their*, these "people" don't play shit
What distracts me most is "pride" has been mainstream for a long time and is seemingly everywhere, which nullifies the use of the word. "pride" implies a counter culture. If the culture likes homosexual what is the point continueing to wear homosexual like a scarlet letter.
>If the culture likes homosexual what is the point continueing to wear homosexual like a scarlet letter.
Self marginalization and exclusion from society at large. This shit isn't promoted because they care about them, it's because they hate their guts more than anyone else does.

Yeah I knew the end was coming when THE GOD DAMN RAINBOW wasn't enough for these freaks
Even gays and trannies hate the new flag
Its existence is confirmation of that black activists were b***hing about how the LGBTQ+ movement was trying to co-opt their movements or ride the coattails at the very least. It also symbolically singles out the "browns" from the rest of the rainbow, separating the LGBTQ+ ones from the rest, as if their struggles as one of the rainbow coalition wasn't a shared one with the rest. It's amazing watching all of the absolute hate for it and realizations coming from it for those who didn't believe the canaries from the start calling where this would all eventually go (the black band on it is apparently for inclusion of AIDS victims)
America is such a moronic wasteland of brainlet appeasement. Instead of actually fixing the homeless problem with funded shelters and rehabilitation programs to get these people back on their feet, American society aims for the most bottom of the barrel shit like fricking benches that can't be slept on.
It's like pissing your pants about a house being on fire with people inside because the burning insulation is hurting the climate. It completely misses the fricking problem entirely.
homeless are beyond help
they're all mentally ill drug addicts who are better off dead
Totally agree. Except swap homeless for American. They all should be killed.
you'll get over your obsession one day
The most comfortable cities to be homeless have the most homeless people. More shelters means more people can withstand being homeless. Also if you don't aim for benches that can't be slept on, you get benches that can't be sat on because a homeless person is on it.
>The most comfortable cities to be homeless have the most homeless people
Because it simply moves the homeless elsewhere. Its production of homeless people has not been curbed, it's just pushing the problem onto another city.
Homeless people can travel and some have a choice on what city they want to be homeless in, but most homeless people are home grown. The cities with the most homeless people created them rather than attracting them for the most part
We had federally funded programs for addiction, and facilities for housing and caring for morons and the mentally ill, until the federal government decided in the 80s they didn't want to fund it anymore, came up with a bullshit excuse of 'they have rights to not be kept in these!' and shoved the problem onto the states.
You can blame Ronald Reagan for that, and everyone after him for not fixing that titanic error. At least he died from mental complications as a delicious irony.
I mean to be fair, the irony is probably lost since he undoubtedly could afford all the care that others couldn't.
The rich and powerful will always have access to everything they want to take away from everyone else.
What is your solution to this?
uh well you see
you just gotta think of the homeless bro
Don't let them?
How?
by taking up arms and fighting, not like you'd fight for anything other than more grease on your cheeseburger
Assuming the people who are concerned about this are willing or even capable of organizing an armed uprising, what specific changes will then be made to the government to prevent people from being rich?

Are you trying to bait me to argue for communism? Since on the flipside you could just make everyone, including your country as a whole, rich instead.

those are the ones I think of out the top of my head, I could go on if I thought about it some more but this post solves most of the US's problems lol
>importance of working hard
working hard isn't important, having connections is. if you have friends in the right places you could get anywhere with minimal effort.
you do understand this is a post-revolutionary uprising scenario. the "friends in right places" are probably dead
where there is a vacuum there will be people to fill the void. you'll just be replacing one set of suits for another.
they'd be replaced with people that share the values of the revolutionaries so I don't see the problem
>opportunists don't exist
so naïve
I don't think you understand how revolutionary uprisings work
yeah you're right anon no one would ever take advantage of an uprising like that to take power. nope it's impossible.

Alright fine, let's go with a single culture. There can now only exist one genre of music, which? Which is the single style of outfit allowed, to prevent new subcultures from dressing differently? What hairstyle is allowed? Are there any practical problems with mandating that the culture and lifestyle of rural Alaska being identical to the one in Manhattan?
>genre of music
classical music
>style of outfit
Ideally non-revealing outfits. plain colors.
>to prevent new subcultures from-
there won't be "new subcultures." education and pretty much every facet of media will propagandise the main-culture and demonize all others.
>hairstyles
probably hairstyles ranging from short-medium in length. Women would have more room but men would probably only rock a slick wallstreet-esque hairstyle
>Are there any practical problems with mandating that the culture and lifestyle of rural Alaska being identical to the one in Manhattan?
Ideally all of the US would strictly have this cultural lifestyle through the way discussed above. Since Alaska is so far removed from the rest of the US and also very sparsely populated it will be difficult to manage but with good leadership I think it'd be possible.
saying it's possible =/= that it will happen. We're already far removed from the actual topic and we're already multiple layers of hypotheticals deep but I know you want to see me admit that it could happen so there ya go, happy?

This did frick all to stop the emergence of hippies, punks, rock'n'roll, or any other form of 'degenerate' or anti-establishment subculture.
>probably hairstyles ranging from short-medium in length. Women would have more room but men would probably only rock a slick wallstreet-esque hairstyle
Why? What's the problem with people being allowed to style their hair the way they want?
>Ideally all of the US would strictly have this cultural lifestyle through the way discussed above.
Why is that ideal? I don't want to get rid southern BBQ food because that style of cooking isn't viable in the rest of the country and thus can't be made uniform.
>Why? What if you don't like classical music?
through propaganda and restrictions other options will not be there. even if you despise it, your sons/daughters might only hate it, their sons and daughters might only slightly hate it etc, etc. basically generational mind control only non-woke.
non-revealing outfits. plain colors.
>Why?
non-revealing because the values in my hypothetical post-revolution america there'd be a return to the non-degenerate. People will no longer walk around half naked or with prolapsed rectums.
>This did frick all to stop the emergence of hippies, punks, rock'n'roll, or any other form of 'degenerate' or anti-establishment subculture.
Emergances of sub-cultures is a non-issue. Again, with unrelenting generational indoctrination society can be whatever you want to be.

Doesn't answer the question of why, and you are completely delusional if you think that you can somehow prevent the emergence of new genres of music. You would have to prevent all private citizens from owning musical instruments, completely cut off America from the internet and prevent all Americas from ever traveling, anyone else from ever visiting, you would have to destroy every radio that could pick up on frequencies playing different music and you'd have to turn the state into a totalitarian shithole that somehow enforces this.

Because classical music doesn't consern itself with degeneracy and hyper-sexualisation of anything that has a hole. A core value of the main-culture.
>you would have to...-
not nesecarily. With proper weaponization of propaganda, over multiple generations, you can mold society, and the tastes of those society, whatever you want. If you compare the 1950's with modern times you can see a clear shift in values and morals, things intrinsically linked with the culture. this has been achieved through propaganda from reigning politicians and their weaponization of media. With enough time and with enough propaganda and demonization you can, really subtely too, shift tastes in every facet of life.
>Why is this desirable?
because disdain for the degenerate is a core value of the culture. Sex and sex related things should be kept to the bedroom and not flaunted about in public. The word degenerate itself betrays it's undesirable-ness by definition.
>It isn't a non-issue, you can't prevent the emergence of subcultures.
neither did I say it could be 100% eternally be prevented. Again, with proper and unrelenting use of propaganda you can fizzle out emergances of subcultures into non-existance

No it fricking wouldn't, you're way too mentally ill to understand that nobody wants to live in an nightmarish orwellian dystopia where you get thrown in prison for listening to anything other than classical music.

you wouldn't. through proper use of propaganda you won't be listening to anything else in the first place. if you are than it's not a problem, the propaganda just needs to do it's work for a bit more time.

Do you want me to give the definition of degeneracy or things that would be degenerate. If it;s the latter it would be a long list.

No, you can't.
Make it so they're not allowed to do that.
They give all the money to me.
Both sides were in on it. The Democrats focused on the "muh rights" bullshit with eventual allusions and then sometimes confessions of it being about money, and the Republicans were pretty open about it being about money from the start. I'm sure opening the immigration floodgates and creating problems like crack epidemics also contributed to the whole "lol this costs too much" outcome, similar to how Europe faced the same strain on their social services in the 2010s.
>America is such a moronic wasteland of brainlet appeasement. Instead of actually fixing the homeless problem with funded shelters and rehabilitation programs to get these people back on their feet

I don't get it?
Is this an american thing?
Oh no. It's an entire western world thing these past ten years. At least in cities where nobody cares to walk over and slap the officials proposing it in a well mannered way.
Many places like metros now have these butt-height railings you can lean against instead of benches.Becasue they take up less space, and again, the homeless and the drunks can't sleep on them.
I'm not a drunk or homeless, but I still want to fricking sit down or lie down sometimes.

>Now they change a literal bench on a map for "muh realism".
Did anyone actually complain about this or is blizz just virtue signaling everything they do now?
While this is absolutely stupid for "bad thing in game ddoes not mean bad thing in real life" reasons, admittedly the benches are pretty shitty even for non-homeless related reasons. Imagine you're just some old person walking around and your back or legs hurt so you figure you'l take a rest on a public bench - only to find the bench is intentionally uncomfortable so you can only sit on it for a very short period and in certain ways.
Anyway, Blizz is just losing their shit and to answer this anon's question , it honesty seems like 2 things together in some sort of horrible symbiosis
>To distract from and look good in spite of their union busting, crunch, fricking awful game design issues, Kotick and similar stupid exec pay , and actual shitty work practices, the execs have basically turned the lever to "anything that could possibly offend anyone, especially 'marginalized groups" who will complain on twitter and make us look bad, gets tossed
>Some of the employees that remain are basically politically correct everything-is-offensive stereotypes and they are now allowed to "bring these things to attention" and they claim that "X is problematic" and/or they find some Twitter moroon who claims the same thing and says "see, it needs to be changed"
So essentially we have a perfect storm. Some of the remaining developers are the oversensitive kind that have always held a grudge or found things offensive - WoW is a perfect example. Finkle Einhorn and all the major censorship changes last year in a patch .... one of the devs involved basically said "We saw these things were problematic for years so don't say NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS. WE are asking for this and now the bosses are basically letting us finally change it". Its a whole shitfricking situation mostly because ActiBlizz wants to wag the dog so they can get away with exploitative bullshit against players and workers alike, so they encourage this "problematic" smokescreen rainbow capitalism
it is time to hunt down these people IRL and kill them in minecraft
Imagine you're an old person and you rest on a public bench, only to find out it has comfy arm rests for every seat
Just the implication the benches were bad had more weight that your own eyes. It's not a "bad thing in game" to begin with. It's a normal bench for normal sitting.
These are never comfy, and the design in game doesnt necessarily look that way either. I could see an argument given the size, but if the rest of the bench is cushioned then why not also make them out of the same cushioned materials? Anyway if you want an armrest then you sit at the end of the bench. Putting them in the middle like that is constricting, prohibits stretching out or leaning even if you're the only person on it, and otherwise can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. "Normal" benches are not set up in that regard, there's a reason its an unusual design where a standard bench is one long unbroken seating surface. If they want multiple chairs like in an airport or something they can do that instead - and even those are considered uncomfortable as people b***h about how you can';t really relax on them too .

>Finkle Einhorn
qrd?
Going back to WoW Vanilla ("classic" ) there was a Gnome NPC named Finkle Einhorn who, in UBRS and other end game areas gave certain quests - he was wearing a diving suit and was diving in the lava of Blackrock mountain. There were also items named after him, such as Finkle's Skinner, a dagger I remember my Hunter had which was also a skinning knife etc. Pretty innocuous right? He didn't say or do anything offensive, even "they" admit this.
>So what's the problem?
The name is a reference to a 90s Jim Carrey movie called Ace Ventura Pet Detective, one of the movies that gave Carrey his start. Anyway, the bad guy named "finkle" basically crossdressed as a woman who's last name was "einhorn" in order to escape murder charges and in the finale there's a big thing about "finkle is einhorn, einhorn is finkle " that was basically a memeable joke of the era, ending with EINHORN IS MAN?! and Carrey's character throwing up because Einhorn (played by a biological woman and a relatively attractive one) was revealed to be a guy. To "prove" Einhorn's identity as the killer, Finkle, Ace Ventury basically pulls down Einhorn's skirt revealing a tucked bulge visible from behind and protruding, which then everyone starts to get sick and throw up as I recall.
Needless to say the trannies lost their shit that anything even tangentially connected to this was in the game, despite it being totally innocuous and just another Blizz old pop culture reference. Atop it Finkle wasn't even a troony, he was a killer who cross dressed specifically to escape prosecution but of course the problematic patrol figured even a gnome talking about dredging lava in a fantasy world was transphobic because of the names.
ever saw a guilty person making a scene so peoples wouldn't think he has done anything wrong? That's kinda the same with Blizzard, they're making a smoke screen so we don't remember there are buttholes in their ranks, ongoing harassment lawsuits and they let the governments spy on everyone playing their games.
Uhhh you're not supposed to mention the last part. Blizzard games are not spyware for the CIA, they are not a social experiment and they are certainly not run by glowies such as Ion Hazzikostas.

There are better and safer places for the homeless to sleep in.
I agree sister, let's donate our house for them
Most homeless are worthless drug addicts with some kind of mental illness. They cannot be redeemed and normal people rightfully look at them with derision. But no, I bet you would gladly sit on a bench some junkie pissed and shat on. Let them into your house if you're so compassionate for the dregs of society. Practice what you preach or what you say is meaningless.
Frick Off every single time homeless slept on the benches they ended up leaving a mess, shitting and pissing them marking them like animals, not only that but they would get mad at anyone getting even close to the damn thing
Finally all those heckin virtual hobos can sleep and setup tents there while driving up crime locally and being a public nuisance YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
It's a bit fricked up blizzard is only caring about anti-homeless architecture.
they should add actual homeless people, who wake up on that bench when you walk by and shit and piss infront of your 10 year old daughter.
For a country that claims to be the strongest, smartest, richest one on Earth, you'd think it would be easy for the US to fix problems such as homelessness. But any suggestion of fixing and improving the country is crucified as being "too expensive" while blank checks are written to the military and other countries every year.
That's what legal corruption aka lobbyism gets you.

Its unbelievable how pro homeless the left really are, they sincerely believe the best solution is to leave them be. Only a coward would think turning a blind eye is compassion.
In their defense they're a lot more compassionate than the right whose main proposal is "stop being poor or we'll call the cops" granted the left have began adopting that mentality.
The issue is a lot of the other ideas are just plain bad and any attempt address any causes that'd ultimately only address small portions overall will never be popular. So it's easier to say "Why don't we turn hotels and vacant homes into free housing.
Do you know why homeless shelters won't let anyone under the influence in? Because those people simply can't be helped. In the EU there are systems in place to help these people but they can't be helped unless they make the first step themselves. They all have underlying causes for their homelessness which in many cases is addiction.
America can't be bothered to do anything about its own problems. Gotta spend all that time and money on other countries and the military to blow up people across the planet.

This board really will shitpost over fricking anything.
Why did they do it?
>bench has safety bar so homeless don't fall off while sleeping
thoughtful
frick Blizzard and every woke shit gaming "company"
One of the things that irritates me most about false moralists is how they completely ignore beggars in the real world. You can be sure that 90% of the people who complained about this bench in the virtual world completely ignore beggars in their day-to-day experiences, I have seen this repeated hundreds of times, people who are concerned about "social justice" but don't even consider these guys human.
Yeah, it's the same how they'll whine about Black folk to everyone and force everyone to adhere to some sjw bullshit standards of speech and societal existence, until a black person doesn't agree with them or toe the line, then they'll literally call them "Black folk" or "Uncle Tom" and tear into them in a way that is everything they b***h about. There's a reason Malcolm X said he trusted the honesty of unapologetically racist people, as opposed to liberals crusading on their behalf.
imagine how fricking gay you have to be to b***h about a bench in a video game
now imagine how fricking gayer you'd have to be to listen to that moron and actually change the bench

Won't removing virtualq benches over a real issue make it look suspicious that Blizzard is doing more dodgy shit?
no, virtue signalling is immune to suspicion because they can just flip suspicion to make you the baddie.
But to have a tiny sample size like that responding to the benches feels off.
Why don't homeless people just live in crypts?
We did it reddit now the homeless will freeze to death on the bench, and not on the floor!
what the actual frick is a hostile environment?
Remember there used to be a company called Blizzard making good games?
>thing I don't like exists in real life
>therefore thing should not exist in video games
But murderers, terrorists, global war etc. are okay?
>homeless people exist
THATS BAD
>homeless people deterrent
THATS BAD
Wouldn't a "perfect future" not have any homeless to begin with thus making the architecture of the bench fine to begin with?
theres no such thing as perfect so no
It's a fantasy setting anon. Star Trek is an example if humanity being a near perfect utopia society.
Star Trek is an example of hideous homosexualry pretending to be perfect and it makes me sick to think of all the morons that hold it on a pedestal and try to model the real world after it.
Wasn't there a homeless robot on one of the trailers or something?
i hate video games
Haha wow I can't wait to not spend a penny on this game or anything else Blizzard makes ever again!
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE HOMELESS
No, we're not getting them homes. Just think about them
>No, we're not getting them homes
They don't want homes anyway, they want drugs.
This.....if you gave them a house, they would probably sell it for drugs.....
>the Democrat solution to the "homeless problem" is letting people sleep on benches
>the Republican solution is closing their eyes until the homeless die
>instead of just setting up a few dorm buildings that the homeless can sleep in
Why don't any sane city just do this?
They did something like that in Toronto where they gave a bunch of homeless people free hotel rooms. They fricking wrecked the place. You can't put people who belong in an asylum into a fricking free house like that.
Why not set up a few asylums and put the ones that belong in them in there then? Why would anyone want a violent psycho out sleeping on public benches?
Asylums are illegal here I think, or they were just all defunded.
>having to screen every single homeless homosexual just for them to pretend they are normal for 5 minutes so they can wreck the place anyway
The US destroyed its mental health care system back in the 80s and refuses to do anything about it and the millions of mentally-disabled people and PTSD-stricken veterans living on the streets.
Asylums and forced rehab isn't gonna happen in america. Conservatives think it's too expensive and liberals think that it's too mean (yes, really)
>giving free rooms in hotels to homeless people
a good reason to never visit those hotels . why would i pay when they give it for free to other people
They literally do dumbass. Problem is those dorms don't allow violent psychos or drug use. Those are the ones you see out and about.
There are tons of homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Homeless people aren't nice people who are just down on their luck, they are mentally ill junkies who want to be homeless because the shelters don't allow them to do drugs.
>why don't US politicians do things that would benefit others
lol
lmao
homelessness and hunger could be solved overnight but it's more profitable to slam spikes and dump produce into landfills.
because land is expensive as shit to buy, build, own and maintain
this is the worst way to fix what is essentially an economic problem, you need to fix it with money not infrastructure
there are tons of homeless shelters in LA and San Fran, the homeless capitols of the US
guess what?
none of them use them
because they're a bunch of mentally ill addicts
>Let a bunch of dirty literally crazy people have their own enclave inside the city
>What could go wrong?
Do you really not see the issue with starting public housing but with everyone even POORER and MORE addicted to drugs?
That already exists in here thanks to the Catholic Church.
They don't allow drunks or drug addicts though, that would just ruin it for everyone.
we have this kind of shit in Poland. Once they get there they never leave the building or the poverty so idk if it really works.
simply ban drugs and there will be no more homeless people
>ban crime
>there are no more criminals
don't forget to re-elect me
This. I'm sick of politicians saying, "Oh, it's okay to commit crime, you just have to go to jail teehee." NO. Just don't let them do crime.
We should also just ban stupid and lazy people and everybody will be a model citizen
idk why people talk about banning firearms when we could just ban murder, it's such an obvious solution
they designed these just so they could remove them, didn't they
The madmen actually did it, they ended the homeless crisis.
This is the power of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
>twitternoids shitting themselves is a "fan request"
Alright but what would happen if people cried out that they are being ablist because the arm rest help disabled people sit down and get up ftom benches. What if some on claimed benchs with out arm rests gave them pstd because they got stuck on one years ago and now no longer go to parks because of it
What would blizzard do then?
A bunch of teenagers burned down the homeless tent city in my city a year ago
Based teenagers
>touch bench
>take damage
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
i've been in too many /fph/ threads and thought this was about fatphobia
frick blizzard
ah yes, priorities
Blizzard developers constant need for attention over social issue of the month will never not be amusing. This shit is so obviously manufactured.
The bench is uncomfortable for a reason. Maybe we SHOULD be punishing people for poor life decisions. Your way of life is not worthy of respecting. You are an addict who needs help and if you refuse it, you will be treated like the scum you are. Your "freedom" is not respectable or honorable, you are the symptom of an empire in decline. Either get help or overdose and just die already.
Normalgays can be cruelest
>just let the homeless sleep on benches! problem solved
No you fricking horrible normalgays, benches are not proper shelters and even then that won't solve a thing, homeless people need psychological help
These gaslight-y no u attempts at reverse psychology are hilarious, not the normalgays are divine angels or anything, but sociopathic outcast like you literally want to take away one of the few places they have to sleep in the first place while voting against things that'll allow them a better life in the first place.
>but sociopathic outcast like you literally want to take away one of the few places they have to sleep in the first place while voting against things that'll allow them a better life in the first place.
not that anon but where the frick did you pull this from that post? you're literally making up his views and calling him an butthole for having the views you've just made up for him lmao
What. Where did I imply any of that? You're crazy, lad.
I'm the guy he's replying to, that guy is such a schizo. Lol.
