Toei are infamous for being horrible so PewDiePie (Also horrible for entirely different reasons) weighing in means nothing. They aren't going to change no matter how many videos he makes.
Toei have a long history of being absolute dbags to western fans, of being a headache to deal with for their western partners. Companies paying them money and working within Japanese laws can't get them to co-operate to the point some even gave up on getting what they paid them for and used fansubs in their official releases.
So that's where Musk Fanboys are at now, eh? 'The astronomy and astrophysics communities are thrilled about Starlink despite being among it's harshest critics.' People in comments sections say so, so it must be true.
The fact you side with white nationalists trying to take away the free speech of others and manage to blame those others for it to make yourself a victim is telling.
Conservatives don't want free speech, they want the rest of society to sit down and shut up while they talk and to be unable to offer pushback of any kind. Remember how Conservatives silenced people for years after 9/11? Of course you do, that's the free speech you want.
By 'Offer he can't refuse', he means that since his district will be harder to win next time, he needed a new gig and lobbying firms expect a certain level of competence and knowhow he never demonstrated, Fox are keeping Trump lackeys at arms length just in case, Newsmax, OAN and Infowars don't pay the big bucks, nobody wants books by the guy who sued a pretend cow so his options for keeping the grift going were limited.
'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry incredibly wealthy, influential conservative figures on conservative owned websites, tv and radio stations, newspapers and social media! 'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry conservative prosperity gospel preachers and evangelicals from the pulpits of their tax free megachurches! 'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry neocons and other grifters from their columns in the NYT and other reputable outlets or in their guest spots on MSNBC or CNN. 'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry rich, wealthy conservative politicians who benefit so much from citizens united and preferential treatment on social media. 'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry boorish relatives at family gatherings across the world who never, ever shut up about their politics in person or on facebook. 'Conservatives are being silenced!' Cry people without kids at school board meetings while trying to ban books and all discussion of racism from the curriculum, as well as oust anyone they think is even slightly left of center from teaching positions.
They've pushed a large chunk of the western world to the brink of fascism with their unrelenting bullsh*t and victim complex. We'd all be in a better place if they were silenced even a fraction of what they pretend they are they are.
He'll muck about with a few startups, try and fail to generate an Elon Musk style cult of personality among crypto bros, do some more environmentally disastrous NFT stuff then end up on the boards of some rising companies looking for legitimacy by having a guy people have heard of.
I remember before they banned fox hunting with dogs here in the UK, rich landowners were claiming the same thing, 'You can't change the law, we'll have to kill all these adorable beagles that are unadoptable because we've trained them to tear smaller animals apart. Think of the puppies!' It didn't work to swing public opinion behind them and the mass beagle death never came.
Rockstar themselves were subjected to a lawsuit from the former pro wrestler, Maxx Payne, back in the day. The wheel of Copyright trolling turns on and on.
People wouldn't need to record the police if they applied the law as intended, equally across the board, didn't selectively target certain communities, publicly collude with/be members of far right groups, didn't shoot first and ask questions/tried to smear the victims later and didn't have body cameras that magically stop working whenever someone gets killed unjustly.
They're not there serving as private individuals, they're not paying for the copter from their own wallets in their free time, they're doing it as part of a publicly funded organisation so may as well be public surveillance cameras, an organisation whose trustworthiness when it comes to collection and retention of footage and data, selective prosecutions and policing of certain groups is questionable at best... See the policing of far right groups, covid protests and so on.
The protesters weren't breaking any laws, there was no indication it was going to happen, and it didn't, the sole reason they put the chopper in the air was to identify and intimidate critics, not the first time they've done that, won't be the last.
Don't worry, I'm sure police forces will soon gain an R&D budget to give to military contractors to work on such tech. It'll cost fifty times the budget and will be unreliable and outdated by the time it's delivered, but you can't question the spending, because police.

Boy, it sure would have been nice if a member of the judiciary committee like, say, Thom Tillis, hadn't spent four years rubberstamping every name handed to him by the Federalist Society regardless of fitness for office.
He could have prevented this, but instead it was more important for him to help pump the court system with raw sewage because republican donors and thinktanks demand it.
They've also started suing people for reporting on them. i'm sure next they'll do a Taser and build up an array of academics who serve as 'expert' witnesses who'll sweat blind that whatever Shotspotter claim, they'll have a hard time topping Taser inventing a lethal medical condition that just so happens to have nothing to do with the use of their product. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_delirium#Taser_use )
I like the notion that the libertarians and flat out republicans in power at tech companies are just chomping at bit to do the bidding of Democrats. I'm sure Mark 'Secret off the record meetings at the Trump whitehouse' Zuckerberg and Peter 'Massive Trump Donor' Thiel are huge proponents of being an instrument of democrat policy.
A lot of Americans will wake up someday, clutching their worthless TRUMPR stock, gold plated coins and Iraqi dinars realising how they've been cheated and by who. Hopefully that happens before they've completely destroyed the western world and installed a fascist royalty they're in no position to remove.
I fully expect this to end like most Trump contract breaches, with him going 'Well, what are you going to do about it, sue me? I'll bleed you dry with legal fees, slow walking everything to drag out the case and appealing every decision then refusing to comply with any eventual settlement.' Without a big fundraising effort just to fight this case, he'll probably get away with it because he's done this a million times to small businesses, lawyers, suppliers, creditors...
