Freaking epic op. You got em good.

I can't believe the people in that thread taking my kid muting a Sonic song so personally. 

TBF, most of the responses have been "Yeah, that song is terrible."

Can’t even lie; I noticed the Donkey Kong/black spirit thing a week ago but just figured not all fighters and spirits were related. I also thought that if it were actually “problematic”, RE would have a thread already. Kinda surprised it took this long for someone to say something.

I noticed it too, probably because I've been conditioned by RE. But they use DK for white guys too. Any "Big, bulky punching fighter" gets DK.

I actually like that song, I got a thing for synth

It's a little too fast and there is too much emphasis on the drums but it's not standard Sonic shit fare

James was quoting the song "ASMR" by hip-hop artist 21 Savage and typed the lyrics, "We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher," onto his Instagram stories to his 46 million followers as he rode as a passenger in a vehicle while wearing a purple Lakers sweatshirt Saturday afternoon.

Someone on twitter said after he went after the NFL owners. He felt people were about to try to dig up ANY dirt on Lebron that they can.

Reading this article. This is nothing.

By inviting someone to sing the song, you are inviting them to say the lyrics, yes. But they should also have the consideration to realize their own actions as they're about to commit them, such as violating the golden rule of the n-word as I've stated so many times before. You said it yourself: the woman - the entire audience - knows the word and knows the implications to saying the word and that they shouldn't be saying it. Again, why are they trying to get away with it, then? The right act would not be to act with careless abandon and figure it out later, but instead to maybe ask ahead of time if what you're doing is okay. It is vehemently false to suggest, as you did, that "you're literally telling me to use it but getting mad when I use it,"

[EightBitNate]

It’s probably not something the Japanese have been conditioned to avoid. They have almost no interaction with black people, and many are probably not introduced to black people = monkies racism. It would not surprise me at all if this wasn’t racially motivated. I don’t understand how anyone could think Nintendo of all companies would intentionally do that.

As a side note, I’m dying at the number of people that think Sakurai is personally responsible. People that spend all their time on a video game forum really don’t understand game development. They really think one man did everything lol.

[Uncle]

It's not racially motivated

The thing I notice most among the Smash spirits is they go to great lengths to get the overall color scheme of the spirit matched with the fighter

So the villager one is "he's small and steals with a big sack, so we need a small character with a net, that's villager, now which villager most matches his overall color scheme, well he's in a little dark ninja outfit"

Because some brandy loyalty always trumps the outrage - reee nintenyearolds in particular want to avoid mean things said about their imaginary daddy and then coordinate what threads to (tactically) post through discord.    That case looks pretty bad, though I guess they don't mention that most boxer types are represented by DK apparently (?)

No surprise that ree members don’t understand things like exaggeration.

Most of the idiot posts are complaints about a title made in jest to point out the game is bad.

But then again these are people that need a “in my opinion” after every statement.

Thanks guys, but it's cool. I intentionally post over the top opinions to lol troll games when they're bad. I expect these kind of reactions and the thread replies were actually a lot more mellow than I expected. Was actually my first thread on Era since being how Era is like I don't normally feel much of a need to post there (outside the Hitman thread because it's a good little community), but after spending 3 months playing a boring ass bad rpg I needed to rant.

I told duckroll I was up until 3am finishing the game and writing that just so I could wake up today in a world where I'm done with trails of cold steel and can move on with my gaming life

Nintendo needs to rethink some of their choices. This type of stuff plus also being the system of choice for sexualization of minors. Isn't this supposed to be a family friendly company or something?

how does he know? 

[Jenkem]

I mean Donkey Kong is inherently based on old racist stereotypes of King Kong. You can look up the racist undertones of King Kong if you care. But DK64 really took it to the next level with having them rap and collect watermelons.

Good enough reason for me to take the game off my list.

In my journal i have duly noted "No Smash. Director is a Bigot."

Not finacially supporting that.

This is why reee is only hurting any potentially critical discourse. Like, sure we can talk about this case of a questionable portrayal of black characters, it looks pretty bad. But then come the off-the-charts loonies who declare everyone a racist who doesn't see the white supremacy in cartoon animals portrayed eating fruit (the same people who probably dream of deporting everyone ever working at Rareware to the US to put them into jail, Nürnberg-style) - and these loonies are the protected user class, baiting everyone else into bans.

Only on Ree. Hey don't commit suicide even though you are obviously wrong about a Black Laura Croft. Gotta get that SJW ticket punched.

1. You are wrong about Lara Croft not possibly being played by an actress of color. That doesn’t make you racist, although one could say it might be unconsciously racist, but that’s a whole other thing than what I want to actually say;

2. Your life matters. We are here for you if you want to talk. Like others have said the Holiday season is tough, and if there’s something bothering you that you want to talk about, let us know.

If anything have the decency to make (1) the point about not committing suicide you dick.

I suppose it's possible that she may have changed her genre during her solo career, but no, it's probably the racism.

Also, like Destiny's Child had a buttload of major singles/platinum albums for their time and everyone knows that data was derived purely from white people until Obama signed an executive order to count minorities in music sales in 2011.

But Alice Walker is black and they shit on her indiscriminately. (Though her related shitstorm is hilariously worse than anything that Lebron could do) is just so weird that they are claiming that Lebron has the benefit of doubt while others are thrown under the bus for less.

Yeah, as oppose to places like Reddit, Voat or 4chan which totally doesn't have people mentally unwell. The difference is that ERA/Gaf tells these people to get help, instead of fostering their mental illness and telling them it's the jews/blacks/gays' fault and Q and Trump are going to help them.

I've never read or heard of someone saying "the reason you're depressed is because of <insert minority group here>". But you are right, the amount of cries for help on oldGaf or Era is more likely a result of the volume of users combined with the large visibility of the forum. If people are going to make a cry for help, they're going to make it to as large an audience as possible. But Averon is right as well, Era draws people with a particular mindset, and if you took a random sampling of era users and asked them if they identified as being depressed, I can't imagine that the sample rate would be in line with the national average.

[Nintex]

If you sit at home, stare at a screen filled with horrible stories all day, find no fun in anything but only things that offend you or even look for offensive stuff in 10 year old comedy skits... you eventually get depressed or it just fuels your depression.

Sure, shit on 4chan/Reddit all you want, but I would say the absurdist/nihilistic approach works better than soaking in your own self pity.
4chan and Reddit are also much more random, compared to say looking up 'OH GOD THIS IS OFFENSIVE' videos on YouTube. As it will just recommend you more of such videos.
Reddit also varies from board to board. If you don't like a community you can simply chat up people with a different interest.

REE works more like the YouTube algorithm in this regard.
"WOW this game is shit  "
"Yes this game is also shit  "
"Wow, this movie is offensive  "
"Look at this other thing I found that is offensive!  "
"This developer is a GamerGate Nazi  "
"Every other developer is also Nazi  "

Look no further than the Smash Bros. thread for a good example of this.
It starts out with:
"Donkey Kong is being used intentionally to fill in for POC characters!!  "
And now the accepted point of view (because if you don't agree with this, they ban you) is:
"Sakurai is knowingly advocating racism in his games since he started making them and will never apologize for it!"

Which is fucking bullshit but hey you can't actually ENJOY anything when the world is ran over by Nazi's hiding in every corner!
