I just want to (permanently) lose my burden of intelligence, and there are few ways to do that effectively / quickly. I've seen some legitimate research papers on the subject...

How is is armchair psychology? He didn't try to to explain why they think those things, he merely observed that they happen.If anything it's armchair Phlebotomy, with a side-major in armchair hyperbole

Fact. No analysis or supposition required.However, not one lick of hyperbole.And... I didn't take their blood. So... phlebotomy lolwut?

The inclusion of Kirby is such a shame because there are moments of real enjoyment here. Smash Bros. Ultimate maintains the frenetic, zany fighting antics that are the staple of the franchise, with the plethora of characters offering a wide variety of combat styles and strategies. The deep rule customization and the borderline overwhelming number of levels guarantee you will be able to find a rich variety of play that satisfies almost everyone. Yet this commitment to an inclusive experience falls apart the second Kirby lands on screen, riding a star and waving his little marshmallow arms like he’s emerged directly from a bigoted 1930s cartoon. It’s not just insulting, it’s lazy. Including Kirby shows Nintendo simply isn’t interested in doing the work to bring real characters to their games.
ALSO we get people calling each other NPC and SJW, which as it is know, always make for nice discussions.

We did one of the biggest forum migrations in history, vb3 --> xf 1.5 ---> xf2, with a >100 million post database, in 3 hours. We have fully custom designs we've spend months of internal development and *significant* investment for the sake of the NeoGAF community. What do these jokers have to show for themselves other than community good will they manufactured with a bullshit scandal and a campaign to destroy this place with porn bombs as a means of "virtue signaling" (what would your mom think of that one?), and some off-the-shelf turnkey shit they bolted on haphazardly? They can barely get that shit to work.

Disappointing to see the Onion giving fuel for gators.
It was a pretty lame satirical review, tbf. They're usually much better.
Quote from: PogiJones on December 07, 2018, 05:16:49 PMIt was a pretty lame satirical review, tbf. They're usually much better.On the upside, there's multiple people who are familiar with the onion saying "I don't get it" and that's very funny.
What's the joke supposed to be?
Some people will say that Kirby is just meant to be a fun and goofy character. Others will say we’ve made so much progress and we should celebrate that instead of focusing on one small mistake, but the wounds inflicted by this stereotype are very real and very deep.
Typical unfunny Onion.
I think this one needed more time in the oven. The joke is that cartoon characters are stereotypes? I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. I've looked at the full thing and can't figure out what the stereotype is supposed to be stereotyping.
I like The Onion, but I don't get this one.
Someone drop this in the Avengers trailer thread plz. Go to 4:25
