There's a thread somewhere where I express the notion that NeoGAF.com is in reality a highly reactionary and conservative forum and get quoted by like thirty people and told to stop trolling.

That's their passive-aggressive way of trying to get people banned. Collectively, if they ruin the thread with their reactions than a mod has to step in and do something about it because they won't ban the 30 people who are attempting to backseat mod.

Nothing is wrong with you, you are just close minded and unwilling to look at or give a chance games outside of the small bubble you happen to enjoy.

Again, i say that in the least offensive way possible. Many people have things they won't bother to even try or don't even have on the radar, or generalize about so they don't have bother taking a risk on being burned.

That's what comes with being a human being and having a certain mental view based on your environment, social conditions and what have you.

Its not an uncommon thing.

If i had never been exposed to anime, manga, games and japanese media as a child, which gave me an inherent appreciation, would i even know about it? Would i ever generally care about it? Its hard to say.

To be absolutely fair, sunset overdrive, quantum break and other games that should have otherwise seen some success on XB1 bombed hard. Which speaks to a more complicated problem than just Japanese niche games not selling on Xbox, which is also a problem.

I doubt Scalebound would have sold all that much either despite the brohaha.

But its about the perception of Xbox as a brand and how people react to it

Xbox fans call anything not in the circle a weeb game, and that's unfortunate, but its more emblematic of a cultural grooming issue than anything else.

To be fair "I don't like japanese games" is pretty fucking dumb. It's not like it's a genre or something. When it covers anything ranging from Mario to Dark souls including awkward waifu games, that statement makes no sense.

I can't stomach those discussions anymore. I know most of it is well-meaning but getting lectured on some random US gamer on how we ought to integrate people is a bit too rich for my taste. Especially when adressing the potential frictions with the place of Islam in society and Muslim citizens, considering there's probably more Muslims in absolute numbers living in France than in the US right now.

Yeah the US are amazing for immigration and integration. Which is why there's a green card system that absolutely does not lead to having "illegals" in bad situations.
They also have such a long, complicated, intertwined history with muslim countries but despite that it's all good.

There's several different estimations but no hard number, since France bans ethnic statistics and religious affiliation is AFAIK not surveyed in the census. Some studies said 2 millions in 2008 (a fairly vague label) among the 18-50 population. Most would place the number between 3,5 and 5m. Then there's the problem of using religion as a label anyway since faithfulness and the level of practice vary, with a non-trivial segment of the so-called Muslim population being secular but in name (to which you can probably add some more secular French citizens having some form of Maghreb, Levant or African ascendancy). Sorting population into boxes with labels is a pretty absurd endeavour and it creates more problems than it solves.

I agree that there's nothing worse than being lectured to by a gaffer, but the European panic over multiculturalism and the Islamization of Europe are a bit hard to make sense of coming from an American perspective when Europe as a whole is so much more ethnically homogeneous (as far as I can tell, considering some major Euro countries' aversion to collecting this kind of data).

Obviously the US has strong anti-immigrant tendencies and plenty of racial strife, but concerns about imminent takeover or the replacement of the American identity by a foreign one don't seem as pronounced. There isn't as much pressure on the Democrats to ape right wing talking points on immigration as in the European corollary. These issues are clearly important to large parts of the public but more as part of a constellation of concerns than the prime existential question. Of course, all this be easily explained when you take into account differences in history, social structures, concepts of citizenship, etc.

Obviously Yurop have a lot of problems on that front. This was not to minimise it.

People are people and you can't remove their tribalistic instincts.

As resources get scarce (or even the perception of those resources) it's really easy to tap into it and exploit it.

We can make a "them" and "us" out of any group, if we are motivated enough.

Well you had an opportunity to preorder a Mini NES but you didn't. So the same thing happened with the Switch and you act surprised? Well of course you're going to be exploited. And if you make that "them" and "us," that's console racist.

you'd only ever see women doing utilitarian shit. picking up shopping, taking their kids somewhere, squeezing through the crappy women's door to a religious building while the blokes had an opulent grand entrance.

I'm not sure if Platy is just trolling or REALLY sheltered with his "lets just show up and they will go away" bs. Some areas of Paris are VERY rough and hostile, especially to women.

A friend of mine was there with her husband, and while they were walking around, a group of dudes started insulting her and her husband because she was dressed "like a whore" and they started taunting the husband, talking about him "walking his dirty bitch", husband is of Tunisian descent, grew up in Paris and later moved to Quebec and thats where he met her. They pretty much almost ran away on foot because they feared for their safety.

Like why not call up Valve, say hey Gabeneroo, your steambox isn't quite catching on. It'll never have store presence, but guess who does? Fucking us! Why don't we get together, set up a reasonable amount of specs for the average console price, let us do the controller, you do the OS with linux or whateva, and the box will play Steam games and our Nintendo games?

They tried that with Sony. You know what it caused? Playstation. Same reason Apple won't license their stuff: It backfired on them in the past, so I can't blame them for not wanting to try it a second time.
