Hideo Kojima shares his best movies of the year so far (in no particular order)

Him not putting Black Panther on the list says way more than anything his other movies on the list say.

No it doesn't.

Why is 3 Billboards clicking with people in Japan

Ugh

Why wouldn't it?

From what I've experienced, far too many Japanese people have a hard time fully humanizing black people, and easily excuse racism and negative generalizations towards them. Since Japan is homogenous, that's mostly due to popular Western media and our historical marginalization and stereotyping of racial minorities in film, while in contrast over-empathizing with and even extolling the vices of any and all white characters. It sends a message-- we export our biases and misconceptions to societies with very few comparable experiences in their day-to-day life.

Maybe none of this applies to Kojima, though.

When I see 3 theatres in one district and only one still plays Black Panther, I see 3 oppression camps.

For some reason Americans really like the William Shatner cover of Pulp's Common People.

Why do they even think Three Billboards is a racist movie? There are three black characters and all of them are portrayed positively

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

Why do they even think Three Billboards is a racist movie? There are three black characters and all of them are portrayed positively

But there's a racist character in it and they unironically think that putting a racist or sexist character in something, even if they are the villain, means you are racist and/or sexist

We'll he's not really the villain (it's not exactly that type of film) : he is trying to redeem himself and he's not deplatformed by the other town people (the fact that in a small town you can't exactly insulate or move at your leisure, which is sort of the premise, is not exactly the sort of headspace ERA is at since 2016) and that's what they take issue with.

To be fair, the police chief is going at quite some lengths to cover for a known racist who commits police brutality on the regular on a limb that the guy may turn decent somehow. Just a slight change of how the story is framed would make it pretty sinister and repugnant.

Edit : though the film made it quite clear that the racism was apparently pretty systematic regardless of how sympathetic the characters may come across.

Without having seen the movie or the thread, I feel save answering with "because they are paranoid manbabies who desperately seek self-affirmation" (as always). Remember the guys who proclaimed Blade Runner 2 is sexist because the movie had 10 seconds of portraying prostitution?

Yup. The only people who are affected by DDL ROM site shutdowns are casual pirates who don't give a shit about preservation or archiving. I really don't mind those type of people losing easy access to old ROMs. Those of us who invest a lot of time into active preservation won't be harmed in the slightest, although it may dissuade new collectors from coming forward and joining.

"Active preservation" = being one of the millions of people who have downloaded "AllROMS.zip."

After concluding an in-depth analysis and running the data multiple times, I have come to the sad conclusion that most, if not all of the Restera.com membership base suffers from one or multiple forms of mental illness.

I have submitted my paper to the Journal of Online Science and expect the peer review process to be quick.

[paprikastaude]

from the same thread

When young black men stop going to prison for 10-20 years for possession of marijuana (which is less dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes), maybe I'll start believing the law is sacrosanct and infallible like you. Until then I think the law has its limitations and idiosyncrasies that do little but protect a small minority at the detriment of society.

I'll happily sell you my copy for 500$ which will totally benefit the original developers.


To be fair though, the developers of Fester's Quest should be legally obligated to pay someone for playing this POS.

Of all the retro gems Nintendo have in their closet, you chose Fester's Quest as your exemple.

Emulation still has a bad reputation in the gaming world because of the myth that the Dreamcast was killed by emulation and piracy.
All you needed to pirate Dreamcast games was a CD-Rom burner or so people said. That wasn't entirely true and by the time piracy became a problem for the DC it was already dead anyway.
But the story that the Dreamcast was killed by piracy still pops up often.

[BisMarckie]

The Dreamcast was killed by the boorish average consumer who couldn't appreciate a good console. Sega cast their pearls before swine

[mormapope]

Dreamcast is a warm and fuzzy memory, but the controller, chainsaw loud drive noises, and super limited storage for saving games makes it really meh.  The controller is seriously bad.   

The only con with playing burned or pirated games on a Dreamcast is it murders the CD drive.

[FStop7]

The Dreamcast was killed because it sucked compared to the PS2.

I had a Dreamcast since the 9/9/99 launch day, but once the PS2 came out it was left behind.
