So you were impatient.

Keep in mind that if you base your judgements of left bias and right bias on the American overton window, that window has been highly influenced by fascism over the last 10 years, and now your judgement is based on the normalisation of fascism, which your bot is implicitly accepting. That's bad. If you're going to characterise sources as left or right in any form, you need to pick a point that you personally define as center. And now your judgements are all going to implicitly push people towards that point. You could say that Karl Marx is the center of the political spectrum, or you could say Mussolini is. Both of those statements are equally valid, and they are as valid as what you are doing now. If you don't want to push any set of biases, you need to stop calling sources left and right altogether.

Someone else in this thread said to link to media literacy resources and I agree with them.

TERFism restricts feminism to a tightly defined and controlled ingroup. The criteria for determining who is a real woman, when employed by bigots, will inevitably come to describe the socially dominant form of femininity, which is white femininity. Black and Arab women like Khelif will always fail to pass the standards of white femininity, because they're not white. The standards are racist. And TERFs invariably pick racist standards, because the kind of people who feel the need to police womanhood to appeal to an imagined ideal are people who will end up doing that in more ways than one. And also, TERFs are always hanging out and allying with overly white supremacist groups, because Nazis are the only people who will put up with assholes like Rowling. That's why she's always taking photos with fascists.

For Honour. It's a competitive sword fighting game. You'll like the combat system. She'll like devising a strategy on how best to lead the creeps to overrun the enemy castle.

Or maybe you'll prefer Foxhole, a persistent trench warfare simulation game where players manufacture every bullet and build every fortification. It's not as fast paced as Overwatch, but I bet she'll like digging a trench for you to use for cover as you nail fools and slowly take ground from the enemy.

Can you explain how a piece with a title like "Helldivers is awesome and fun" can be judged at all for factual accuracy?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

I just had a great idea. You know how Rowling is always going on in the narration of the HP books about how X bad female character has "mannish hands"? Let's turn Rowling and her mannish hands into a meme just to fuck with her

There's no such thing as an objective left or right. It's a relative scale. You shouldn't have a bot calling things left or right at all.

Also don't push Ground News. They already get plenty of press from their astroturfing.
