Man, they just can't go one day without making another one of these endless threads about female characters.  Sometimes I wonder if they've gone outside and noticed that there actually women who like to wear revealing outfits and even (gasp) have large breasts.

I can't say whether it's a good game or not, but Bayonetta's design has me so pre--emptively embarrassed that I'd never want to play it, let alone in front of others.

I really want to try Bayonetta since it gets so much praise here, but idk how I’m supposed to explain the protagonist to my wife and daughter

The back rub minigame in FFX-2. Very embarrassing to play as an 11-12 year old.

You would play Gal Gun in front of other people and not feel embarrassed in the slightest?

I love the "idk how I’m supposed to explain the protagonist to my wife and daughter" line.  It's a fucking video game.  Nobody cares.

Also who the hell sits there and plays video games, in general, in front of their whole family?

Is ERA growing in active users? It's basically old GAF. Same old posters, avatars, nicknames, thread starters.  But I don't see it growing much, unless people are signing up and lurking and guess as long as you have the same posting crew, it shouldn't matter since revenue is tied to page views

There's almost zero outside traffic going into reset, there's no growth and there likely never will be. The only people linking to the site are doing so to laugh at it. Linking to the site on reddit will get you downvoted to oblivion in most subs

Even the people who dont hate it for the reeeing identity politics dont want to be associated with it when the next pedo/rapist is outed

I'm pretty sure all those sites/subreddit dedicated to watching gaf/era must generate a good revenue. There are like what, 5 of them?

My family wouldn't think "OMG TITS HOW EMBARRASSING" so much as they would just go "YUP, HE'S PLAYING VIDEO GAMES" in general.  Nobody cares.  "OMG HOW CAN YOU PLAY GAL GUN?!"  Nobody gives a shit.  It's the same as "OMG HOW YOU CAN PLAY DOOM?!" Overly-exaggerrated sex and/or violence.  Go find something else to get upset over, pussies.

As a reminder : It is okay to disagree with the award decision. Take your time to draft your arguments rather than writing something provocative and bail out.

Oh, uh thanks for the warning but I mean what I said.

Could you honestly look at what Horizon was competing against and tell me with a straight face the standards were some high bar worth conquering?

Pretty low standards if you ask me. Maybe I do not understand what makes a "drive-by" post, somehow it is only an issue when the connotation is negative? Yet, 1-3 word posts which amount to little more than blind approval and serve no purpose to further conversation do not count as drive-by?

To expand, I don't think Horizon had good writing because it does little to innovate on the "rogue AI gone bad" trope, and as others have said there is very little character development overall. Furthermore, were it forced to compete with last years actual heavy hitters like say Automata, Hellblade, LiS: BtS, Horizon would fall flat right quick.

Is there a way to dispute moderation tickets? You are forced to click "I understand" to do literally anything afterwards, but in-fact I do not understand the warning at all. What about my statement was wrong? Somebody point out to me the high-standards of writing among these highly suspect and limited (by a guild) choices. As far as "bailing out" goes, I was quoted once and it was an agreement no less. Had somebody quoted my post to demand explanation they would have had it.

Looking at many other posts in this thread, I am very confused about the notion or meaning of "drive-by" post. Right above this post is the same sentiment even...

The average white person has no cultural legend that resonates with them as a point of pride either.

The fat pasty guy you bump into at Wal-Mart isn't going around puffing out his chest like "my ancestors were british, they were responsible for the tales of King Arthur!!" like he actually cares about that shit in today's society.  Nobody has any pride in their ancestry, nor should they.  Take pride in what YOU accomplish, not based on where you come from.

The post talks about how "white people culture" is alive and well yet I remember multiple threads about how white people have no culture and that's why they're so salty about everyone else having pride months and appropriating others' culture.  So which is it?  Black people have absolutely nothing and need to cling to this superhero movie as their only mythology, or black people have a rich and varied culture that white people wish they could have so hard that they keep stealing it?

Black Panther can be important as a current cultural touchstone, sure.  White people can enjoy LotR and Harry Potter.  Most of them aren't looking back wistfully at Hans Christian Andersen's stories and beaming with pride that they come from the same place as him.

Around here they'll send home papers alerting parents of the allergies and ask them not to include certain ingredients. They would also serve their own snacks for the most part.

Nationalists and nativists do exactly that though. They hold up their culture (whichever it may be) as evidence of their superiority and they'll go as far back as history and present prestige will allow.

Why are people using this movie as an example of "what was lost" in Africa? Is there any reason to think that if white people stayed the fuck out that there would have been some advanced civilization or something? I'm confused...

I've been wondering the same and only found this article that says that some people in Africa are unhappy that so few continentals got a role in the movie, however does the article also make clear that those are only few voices.
http://afropunk.com/2018/02/controversy-around-black-panthers-supposed-appropriation-shows-necessity-pan-africanism/

Overall is it a bit weird to hear this movie mainly being talked about from the African American perspective. Maybe the reason for why we don't hear much is that western news obviously focuses on the west, or maybe do people in Africa just not really care either way.

Some of the more "look how good I write" takes on Black Panther are annoying, but I'm sorry Optimus. People aren't distinguished mentally-challenged because they are connecting Black Panther with Black History month. For some people it's a movie to be very celebratory of and proud of. There's really nothing wrong with the sentiment.

[etiolate]

There is no reason to think they'd be an advanced civilization. It's just a noble savage fantasy combined with a blame white man fantasy.

If the black community bonds over and is proud of a fucking superhero movie then I really feel fucking sorry for the black community. Especially a superhero movie that imagines a super duper advanced African civilization to the point it almost looks condescending.

You're not black and who the fuck are you to decide what people bond over or are proud of? Who the fuck are you other then some internet try hard?

Some people are happy that they have representation in one of the biggest American mass market franchisees out there. Some people are happy that they have something that their kid can look at and be like "that dude looks like me". Some people are happy they have a big budget Black movie that is'nt just a slave movie or a movie solely targeted at the Black community. Some people are happy that a huge company made something not completely white washed. Some people are happy that theres a Black Superhero who gets to be in the leagues Superman, Batman, and Iron Man.

It's its not fucking rocket science to understand how some minorities may fucking be happy and proud that there is a big fucking million dollar American Blockbuster pandering to them because there's been how many of those?

I understand why it feels good to be rapresented (I'm a minority myself), but maybe because I'm withe and European, but I can't understand why modern-day black Americans care about their African ancestry? Like, no more White Americans don't care about their European ancestry.  Like, I get that in many cases for their ancestors coming to America wasn't a conscious choice, but you have a culture nowadays, it's the American one.

No, people are proud and happy about the sentiment. The idea. And while that has been created no doubt by smart marketing and whatnot and will be capitalized on. It doesn't take way from the fact some minorties are going to go to this movie and see something they may be to relate to more in either the story, the aesthetics, the cast, music, dialogue, tone, whatever. And that's cool for them. I'm not sure what's hard to figure out here, but please die on your "I'm so smart, I'm above the masses" hill.

Oh and no I'm not proud of the movie. It will probably be a another solid Marvel to me and that's it. But it's called empathy.
