    I’m pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as “disappointed”. Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn’t have full control over is.

    Personally, I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I’m not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.








  • I’m surprised that Yasuke was the source of the problem. They had a Netflix show about him a few years ago, and before that there was Afro-Samurai which I believe was also somewhat based off of him. I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.

    I figured people would be mad about Ubisoft’s business practices and watering down of the AC franchise in general. That’s been a talking point for years.

    That being said, this is the perfect response: take away the anonymity of keyboard warriors and get them to own their words. It’s a lot harder to be mean when it’s two people, face to face. The problem is, most people don’t have time to confront everyone online.
