Social media has broken everyone's brains. Nothing is a discussion, you have to persistence hunt each other until one party collapses like a deer. No one expresses their thoughts then goes separate ways. Some weirdo proclaims themselves the winner because they can argue in circles for 7 hours.

If a drywaller could stop eating the drywall long enough to listen to you they'd be upset, Mr. Friendship.

Brand Shield is bad because "Brand Management" will run antithetical to FFI's stated values.

License is confusing and imposes only restrictions. Also gives the rights to creations to FFI, whether they choose to exercise that right or not.

That's my piece, take it or leave it. I'm not litigating.

The license is nonsense and Brand Shield is to keep you from infringing on Trench Crusade's rights, it doesn't Shield them from GW.

I have reviewed the Trench Crusade license stuff and can only comment that you should be careful when you hire a lawyer, because they might not understand your project.

This is a real "we're slamming our dick in the car door" situation. Hopefully they fix it.

The use of Brand Shield fucking sucks.

They've hired the wrong lawyer I think and released a confusing and honestly poor community license. They've also partnered with Brand Shield, who will use AI to send questionable copyright claims against... who knows? Anything with a trench coat and armour on?

Dick slammed in car door situation.

We have a white nationalism problem in Canada, don't let journalists deal with it alone. These losers are trying to intimidate Rachel because they are cowards who want to play Nazi but not face any public scrutiny for it.

Fuck em, out these pricks.

So these fucking losers want to be neo-nazis, but when someone points that out they want to intimidate them so they can hide?

Boy, the "master race" really isn't living up to its reputation, huh?

I'm glad he clarified it was his own blog's hat, because I guarantee no one would recognize it.

A very cool introduction featuring power armored space marines and the 60% run time is just Heinlein at the front of a classroom lecturing you about the virtues of fascism.
