Can't women just be appreciated solely for their mind rather than focusing on a single or multiple individual parts of what makes them up?

The guy is an edgelord.

While some are overly P.C. and sensitive in the name of progress, others are all about peeling away the veneer of social decency. Being super uptight is unappealing, but so is the complete absence of tact and ability to discern which behavior is appropriate for a given public forum.


The election of Donald J. Trump is evidence of the breaking down of social norms and mores.   :doge

The whole "talking to a woman like this IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN?!?!?!!" is hilarious. You'd think he said "your interview sucks, go back to the kitchen, woman" or something :lol

I love that bit:

I quickly felt myself turning red -- getting irritated and angry. My mind was racing. My face, I could tell, was incredulous. In the thick of it all, I could see my other guest, Keith Reed, was equally aghast.

Says a LOT MORE about the author's worldview than how she deal with the trans character.

Which is the problem with making the white male characters complain the EXACT SAME THING to whatever you choose white male or trans woman.

It is showing that the world view of the game's authors is that it hurs as much to say "we don't like your people here" for a white male and a trans woman. possibly even a black trans woman
The baggage is "white people saying the n word" and "black people saying the n word" levels of difference

:mindblown

Reminder, this is about gender-swap fan art.

I wholeheartedly agree.  I am not in South Park's demographic - I'm highly sensitive and too socially aware to enjoy such lowbrow trash humor.  I can't lower my standards of humor to laugh at the backwards shit that these showrunners deem to be funny.  At the end of the day, I'd rather watch animated comedies by creators who actually come close to matching my higher standards of insight and professionalism.  Trey and Matt are hacks.

A poster describing Deepwater
Quote
TBH that poster seems to have the attitude that only the most extreme possible reaction to any given situation is acceptable, and anyone who disagrees is a traitor to the cause.

It is a pretty destructive attitude.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=249170458#post249170458


That is a spot on description of his shtick.  Deepwater simply repeats, "shit sucks, shit has always sucked, and shit always will.  Only complete and total destruction of the governing body will solve it.  *Yawn*  Call me when you guys do that," and that anyone unwilling to follow his directive is the enemy.

I just think buying an X is bad because of the precedent it sets in tech firms really ripping us off. It's like buying a banana for $100. It's not worth it, and its obscene.

You're throwing money away, that could help someone else. In this respect buying an X is helping to further class divides and the suppression of the common man. This is another step in a potential corporate nightmare, where we don't bat an eye when a phone cost over a £1000 while people on the street are starving.

One could argue any entertainment or luxury product falls into being a tool of oppression, but I disagree. But some goods are worth their value, and some are clearly a preposterous ripoff that can potentially eat away at the fabric of our social consciousness.

There's just something wrong with so many of us so enthusiastic to spend such a large sum on a mere phone. So enthusiastic about letting an almost trillion dollar company to rip you off. Its not right. We should pause and accept we are at terrible crossroad.

don't forget walls of funko pop plastic tat, $120+ dollar collector's edition featuring flea market trinkets and a statue of the hot new video game hero! and don't forget REMASTERED content from last gen so your temporary collection of video games is compleat. also be sure to pre-order 6 months in advance so you can get that hot skin or dlc weapon that will be useless after 1 hour of play.. 

In the meanwhile check out these six podcasts that will keep you engaged and focused on the product you are waiting for in order to maintain HYPE levels and justify your purchase!

Strange.  There was a post around the #130 mark that called Deepwater out and said, "You have a habit of making sweeping proclamations and not reading what people write."  That post is now deleted.  I wonder if the user is too.  Kind of funny given that the OP now features Evilore saying "That's why we talk about things."


That's why we talk about things, but we censor you if you talk about the wrong people.

Maybe neither. Duckroll is a self hating weeb but the derail of "Perfect Blue was ripped off" seems as annoying as Duckroll weeping for a art house film.

I mention all this because, particularly for those couple months I mentioned when anyone trying to operate in good faith within the aforementioned parameters I've set up for this place ended up sniped en masse, Off-Topic suddenly became unrecognizable to me some 15 or 16 years after we set this side of the forum up. The place kinda turned into what this Evergreen outcome sounds like: with everyone who tried to contribute to civil discourse systematically thrown down the well, the remaining members either stayed silent or radicalized up, and we were left with a squad of polarized "progressives" unwilling to have a conversation with anyone about issues, repeating the same talking points in every thread to each other in a self-righteous echo chamber, newly confident that any non-conformity would be driven out or otherwise made to disappear. This was not just ostracizing people attempting to challenge reductive, exclusionary "with us or against us" polarized rhetoric, either (and that should absolutely be challenged), but also anyone even trying to have a conversation within that radicalized bubble. People were driven out, character assassinated, labeled traitor for "not sounding angry enough," or for not being entirely on board with ostracizing someone else for the same reasons.

There's nothing righteous, informed, or progressive about that. It's just a sanctimonious, vitriolic, self-destructive circle jerk that drives out the kind of people most valuable to discussion: not the "retweet my Side and quote it in yells or else you're The Enemy" people, but the people engaging on each individual issue with critical thought and an open mind, willingness and capacity to perform independent investigation into the materials initially presented, come to an independent conclusion and present it, and to allow the same from folks who have made similar effort but with different credible sources or different justifiable conclusions than your own.

I'm glad that dark spot in NeoGAF's history is behind us. Wait a minute..

This was not just ostracizing people attempting to challenge reductive, exclusionary "with us or against us" polarized rhetoric, either (and that should absolutely be challenged), but also anyone even trying to have a conversation within that radicalized bubble. People were driven out, character assassinated, labeled traitor for "not sounding angry enough," or for not being entirely on board with ostracizing someone else for the same reasons.

There's nothing righteous, informed, or progressive about that. It's just a sanctimonious, vitriolic, self-destructive circle jerk that drives out the kind of people most valuable to discussion: not the "retweet my Side and quote it in yells or else you're The Enemy" people, but the people engaging on each individual issue with critical thought and an open mind, willingness and capacity to perform independent investigation into the materials initially presented, come to an independent conclusion and present it, and to allow the same from folks who have made similar effort but with different credible sources or different justifiable conclusions than your own.

I'm glad that dark spot in NeoGAF's history is behind us. Wait a minute..

Thank God E.L. took measures to combat that.

neogaf loves consumerism but wants to smash capitalism
Ehh not really, socialism is a trigger word for most on Gaf. Their panties get in a bind when you propose any policy that is to the left of the mainstream democrat.

However... A recent patch has changed the home menu icon for Snake Pass. And I can't stand it now.

At any rate, that's me and Snake Pass. I'd rather be making a thread about how awesome this game is, because it IS awesome, but man, all I can think about right now is that icon.

Are there any other games (be it on Switch, Steam, etc) where the home menu icon just sort of sullies the experience for you with its cheapness?
