The dog head between scenes looks cool but you're abusing. It makes transitions slower and becomes annoying after a while.

Once you have bad rep, regardless of whatever vindication comes later, a lot of social media wont care and will sing about it till they die. "He did it and I don't care what the evidence says." Then there are those that will see that and believe it without looking into it themselves.
That literally happens all the time. Idk just how far it stretches into real life but there are definitely people who have lost their jobs because of it and even after being cleared it's like they still did it. Johnny Depp? Im sure some parts of twitter are still raging and all the people that "self inserted" as Amber Heard, because they had a real experience with domestic abuse.
That doesn't mean you cant still find work(Chris Brown is still making music after what he actually did) if you are very famous/ very good at what you do but without that, it's definitely going to hinder you.
Also just being an ex-con comes with its own stigma regardless of what you went to prison for.
Considering what I just said though, the MC getting all those offers immediately(the same day) after getting out is a stretch but like the story says, he must have been something really special on the field for his talent to shine through all the bullshit. A little suspension of disbelief might be needed for that.
P.S. Saying twitter is fixated on race is an understatement. I am not white and not American but from what I've seen happen in the last few years there is no way an event like what is portrayed in the game wouldnt blow up on twitter and media in general. Everyone would be talking about. Can't imagine how many would handle that many fingers pointing at them.

That's fair, but also not the point I'm trying to make. It's not really "cancel culture" when you've got a shitty reputation due to something you provably did, and the MC is freely admitting he killed the guy to people he just met.
The MC also visibly isn't canceled, because as you said, he had talent scouts swarming him as soon as he was out of prison and his first NIL deal is for a low six digits. That leaves Move the Chains in the position of trying to comment on cancel culture when its understanding of cancel culture is simply that somebody has suffered a consequence for his actions.
Edit: It just occurred to me that the neighbor lady (Kara?) knows exactly who the MC is, which means she knows that he killed a guy in a fit of rage, but was still willing to leave him alone with her young son for long enough to give him advice. That's... special.

It is an aspect of it. How well it actually sticks irl is another matter. People still run their mouths like they know everything though. Like I said, people have lost their jobs over false claims but famous people get around it even when they actually do bad shit.
He did the deed in self defense and the evidence shows that but parts social media is still running with the old story, and some of them are real loud.
That's a part of it. "Court of public opinion" does cross over into cancel culture.

IIRC she was just around the corner. You could see her leg and the MC notices her. Also the kid wanted him to come watch his game and both Kara and the MC say that it's probably not a good idea.

Add to that the fact that there are literally hundreds of inmates, wrongly convicted, exonerated by new evidence every year. That is the case of the MC in this story. Thousands upon thousands of jobs that you won't even be considered for if you have a lousy misdemeanor on your record. That's real cancel culture. Your future canceled by a mistake. I believe in the necessity of a justice system and correction. Lot's of bad guys who probably don't deserve a second chance but, plenty who do; and that warrants providing it. I just think the media and "internet" public opinion should have no part in the process. It's a rush to judgement and the "court of public opinion" is too often ignorant of the facts.
Heh... It's been 17 years since a white boy played cornerback in the NFL. I could see how stories like this one would help the next to make the cut a very rich young man. Jus' Sayin'
Lots of contentious comments are the mark of a poignant story. Kudos to MissFortune for taking on tough issues. Way to stir the
.Edit: I erroneously said defensive back when I meant to say corner back. Changed. Thanks GoldenEyeDrake.

To be fair, there are/have been white safeties in the NFL recently. The two that come to mind are Eric Weddle and Harrison Smith. It's the CB position that is lacking white people.Add to that the fact that there are literally hundreds of inmates, wrongly convicted, exonerated by new evidence every year.

A really solid first release, i'm super immersed already. The renders are really nice, the story is compelling and the girls are outrageously beautiful i couldn't reject any! You can tell it's been made with a lot of love and effort.

Hell.. the back and forth comments are almost as entertaining as the game. Not dipping into that.. but what I'd like to say is this is a pretty solid.. entertaining.. well written.. large and in charge initial release of a game. Color me impressed. The biggest thing I'd like to point out is the Dev has two short games earlier in his career.. one abandoned and the other on hold.. Please please please don't do that with this one.. I think you've hit the jackpot and I'd like to ride along as your Patreon numbers grow. The talent is there.. now let the perseverance follow. Got my fingers crossed for you.

Poor thing. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. But if it changes anything, I have a little censored patch coming for people who can't handle it.
But you gotta love the whole right wing spiel some people are coming up with for cracking jokes. What part of any of that is right wing? Not to go wildly off topic here, but the first one is a joke, and the second one was common sense despite the media pretty blatantly lying about it. Just because you disagree doesn't make me some Trump-loving far right extremist.
The staff who moved the thread (not blaming him/her) didn't copy the whole thing from the dev thread they took it from. The girls on the banner (and Sky) are LIs.

You're actually bending your knee and creating a patch just because these snowflakes can't handle the writing?? Shame..

Eh. If it shuts them up, it'll at least save me a bit of sanity. Can just link them to that, say nothing else, and move on with my day.
