Hey kids! Since the previous thread didn't go all too well even after multiple bannings and cleanups, let's start over with a nice simple premise. In no sane person's frame of mind did Nintendo suddenly realize they may have issues during launch, then scramble all over each other to include a little message in a peripheral hoping that the gesture would make everything else A-okay. Things don't work like that! Now that being said, if you still can't refrain from posting something along the lines of 'Well isn't that cute, but what about <insert issue here>' we'll gladly help you stop posting for a while.

Just because you and your otaku friends were all over it doesn't make it a "worldwide phenomenon". GitS is certainly more popular and known than not, especially for an anime. That's pretty much it.

Well, basically what people are trying to articulate is this. The original source material is fairly intellectual and not a traditional Hollywood story.

I mean yeah, I'm somewhat sure the film will be pretty meh and it wouldn't be surprising it watered down the "source material" but I cannot really care less since I'm probably not gonna see it anyway. I'll keep my nerd rage for when I'll see the film and judge it for what it is, if ever.

It was pretty big back in '95.  Big enough that the first movie was in theaters and people who didn't give two shits about anything 'animu' were all over it.  The movie had enough media attention to get people interested in seeing it.

I know it's kind of a stupid discussion anyway because it's a vague notion, but that's not what I call a "worldwide phenomenon", something which implies mass consumption by viewers in many countries. DBZ would earn the label in my book. The film was fairly high profile but that's a long way away still of mass adoption.

[stufte]

GitS was well known outside of anime circles??? That's news to me. Hell, even Akira (and every Ghibli movie) was relatively unknown outside of nerddom.

[Rahxephon91]

It's known outside of anime circles with other nerd circles I'd say. Not like super mainstream or anything. At least the first movie and maybe Stand Alone if only because it was on tv.

[Vertigo]

On a more serious note, I'm not trans but it seems to me that this thread is sorely needed. Dimes (OP) and others have expressed their anger and hurt at the level of casual transphobia that is allowed to slide here. GAF is liberal as far as gaming forums go but its treatment of the L, B and T in LGBT, ESPECIALLY trans people, is often shameful.

I, as usual, couldn't put it into words. This was well done.

Sometimes what isn't you... isn't automatically right. That thread just feels like self-hate because your mom and STEVE made you go to Sunday school once.

The idea that what's different is always some sort of superhero is really bizarre. Of course I have very small-world views and it is reflected in my low-intelligence posts at times, but I have a hard time rationalizing the celebration of the corporatization of this.

Hijabs are awesome.

Well done, Nike. *Thumbs up*

What? Why? Somebody smarter than me has to explain this. Is it because there are options?

What an absolutely gonk. 

Also came across this post in that thread. This guy has a few good points but the sheer pomposity is breathtaking.

My first post at Neogaf! I've broken radio silence after three years because of the infuriating misinterpretations in this thread.

Sticking felt / cushioning to the inside of the dock will INCREASE the potential for scratching the screen:

1. Over time, felt and textile materials can easily attract and hold dust particles. Tiny particles of dust can on a micro level be abrasive, sand like and scratch the screen.

2. Cushioning the inside of the dock with textile material will make the space in the dock tighter for Switch to fit inside, and thus magnifying the chances of scratching.

Having spent a few years working closely with industrial designers, I would say that Nintendo's decision not to include soft material in the dock is absolutely right -- even though this may at first seem unintuitive. As for the plastic of the dock scratching the screen, I doubt it and I'm sure this has been rigorously tested by Nintendo.

  The even funnier thing is when Nintendo inevitably changes a few things they'll rage about ambassador programs and refunds.

That really sums it up, tho: the hijab and other "modesty garb" was imposed on women by a bunch of sweaty dudes who can't control their dicks and who have historically treated women like furniture or livestock.  Calling it a "choice" is suspect as hell.  A choice under the threat of being ostracized from your family/friends/culture or outright killed isn't a choice: it's extortion.  And of course some clown in that thread was claiming that it is a choice, as if that kind of semantic detail means anything in the first place.

If a woman chooses to wear or not wear a hijab without fear of consequence then that's great.  But circlejerking over corp-branded religious headgear and pretending there's not some serious issues tied to it in the name of getting your NeoGAF YAS QUEEN on is lame as fuck.

Hear, fucking hear. I'm losing my shit over supposed progressives being all about the systemic oppression of women through explicit or tacit threats of violence because shitdicks can't help their rapey tendencies. People act like just because some hijab wearers are in America that they're free from micro-community pressures and threat of violence enacted behind closed doors for not falling in line. Bet these are the same people who think the "massage" parlors are just all staffed by proud, independent women who own their sexuality and not sex slaves who have been raped and mutilated into submission. Same fucking disease, on different ends of the horrific shit-o-meter.

And yet, who decides if a woman is wearing a hijab isn't doing so of her own free will?
