Details. I like it. Verifiable details.

And I dare say, accurate too.

Another thing I remembered, it so happens. The origin of 'minion'. It is derived from 'mignon' which meant darling, but was started to be used in a derogatory way by people who wanted to offend a particular group or something else. The new meaning of the word was born.

In this case I'm an unfortunate person who called my loved one 'mignon' without knowing what this new thing was, that such a thing ever happened.

I still feel it would be better to ask next time. I hope you see now I was innocent of such… doings.

I personally found the "the fuck" to be an aggressive, offended tone but that could be a misunderstanding on my part. From what I'm used to, I've personally seen that phrase used by people who are against something, intensely, in particular.

As for what you have referenced, it so happens that I have seen no such person saying any such thing. I was referencing no such thing.

…do some people really believe everything is controlled by a small exclusive group? Interesting. Lol that I can disagree with wholly. I hope this clarifies the earlier matter.

I certainly do not believe this as well🤦

Edit: I do not know if this person you replied to specifically believes this in particular as well, and I'll leave it up to that person to clarify. Have fun.

What is this take… that was not my take at all. The intention was misunderstood, there was a misunderstanding of the language used. Primarily, it was a joke. I certainly do not believe there is a "the powerful" side.

You could have asked🤷

I do not know what you assumed… but I am confused because I have no concept to what you have referenced. Is there anything in particular which was offensive here? Do elaborate. I can say however that I do not know what it is, and I certainly did not mean what you believed I meant (because I do not believe there is one "the powerful" side). Unless, of course, you object to the use of all general terms. Like 'the royalty'. 'The general public' in any general sense. 'The people', again, in any general sense.

I get a feeling that I have offended some political thing I have no idea about. When I have no such relation to any such thing, if it is really so.

You pretty much know that I had no racist intention. If I had racist intention, that would be bad, yes. There are too many people who go against other people on the basis of race, it is ironic that a person who is not racist has a comment pointed out as racist. I confirm, I do not have any racist belief. Kindly take your concern to those who really use concepts such as 'race' to talk about concepts like 'superior' or 'inferior', or any other form of statement saying any particular person is bad because of something which wad not done by them—no act of harm intentionally caused.

That said, I shall delete the comment which uses the name of the main character of the game series 'Shadow Warrior'. Specifically, "It is (character name), sir. (First name) is (last name)".

Because I like to play a game I paid for, which will run on my hardware. Especially when I avoid all the modern live service is a necessity horseshit. If people are not confident in releasing new games which others would buy despite having old games, I will stop buying games.

Let them do better or eff off.

The powerful must be bored from being wealthy and using money to dictate what people should do, so maybe going a bit more hands on to play war.

They could just get a computer, yo. Even an old one would do, even 90s games can handle all their needs.

I've always felt like many just want to lash out and hurt others

Well, you're not wrong. There are many.

Whoever thought this was a good idea? What do they do if there are server problems or, just so happens, their internet service providers are having trouble giving service?
