If it had been reported that it was 12 Caucasian women … it would have made headline news and reported round the clock for a week.
It would likely have caused entire policy changes. In this case it's 'he turned himself in, nothing more to see here.' We also will get to experience weeks/months of people trying to downplay the fact these were hate crimes. They'll focus on everything else.
Citing privacy concerns, police declined to provide any further information about the incident, including the specific kinds of force they used and how Fagan-Pierre is alleged to have resisted.
Hahaha, Jesus, 'Citing how bad it would look, we don't include information on the illegal force usage.'
“Rex Murphy was a Rhodes scholar who could match wits with any intellectual, but he always seemed more comfortable and far happier being around regular Canadians.”
Are we thinking of the same Rex Murphy? Wasn't he happiest speaking to rich people at posh events he was paid to speak at?
Yeah the comment felt like bizarre astroturfing -- Why would 'gaming journalists' specifically not want Xbox to succeed, but want Playstation to? Like somehow a Sony monopoly is great for... journalists? A very strange take.
XBOX has been underwhelming for a while and journalists will report on that, and they will focus on those bad parts and certainly also sometimes make it sound worse than it really is, because it brings in clicks.
I worked at Microsoft and I can assure you, they deserve every bit of hate they get. And it really is that bad. There was a point with the Xbox One where Sony was beating 'us' in every single market we were actively tracking except specific parts of the US. Yet we had directive after directive for clearly nonsensical ideas like targeting Japan for console sales.
I also worked (third party) with Sony and they aren't much better, but they at least understand how to get their consoles bought. Microsoft hasn't known how to do that since the 360.
