That Jussie Smollet thread is full of "I really hope a real lynching occurred, it would be absolutely horrible if it turned out it was a fake lynching and in fact no one was in any real danger" takes. Because your team scoring points is all that matters.

I really hope it was fake because there's so many jokes about 2 guys taking him from behind and having to beat them both off waiting to be made

I mean the meme is funny, even if it being used by some unfortunate folk.

I don't really see what's funny about it. To me the meme just says that you care more about tits then women feelings.

almost as bad as saying one person's opinion speaks for all women and if they disagree maybe they should sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen

Well then stop bitching, and go over there and start a revolution.

why are talking about things and doing things mutually exclusive

yeah i'm sure you're getting right on that dude

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Again, why is this being turned  around to the cops perspective?  I've never said the cops shouldn't ask for things, it's them doing their job.

From a civilian's perspective you should limit your exposure to the police to the bare minimum to actually aid them in solving a crime.   This is what every lawyer will advise you to do, at least until you actually talk to a lawyer who can help you piece together why the cops are asking you for something.

Right, he had a lawyer though.
A lawyer who could have literally gone "okay, heres my clients phone, im gonna watch you go through the call history you want to check, and make sure thats all you do because I dont want you getting slipped a few grand cash bonus from TMZ for dick pics".
The phone was part of the alleged crime - like, a specific point was made that there was an aural witness to the crime in the form of the manager who he was on the phone to at the time the incident occurred.

Verifying that would take like, literally seconds to do, and would in no way cause any blowback, whereas refusing to do so is... well, maybe justifiable, but odd.
A lawyer wouldn't say "No, fuck them they can go subpoena records for that info" because it just holds things up for no good reason, especially if they cant find any video from the time the incident occurred, and checking at what time that phonecall was made confirms the timeline too - because victims and witnesses also lie, and on a no-guilt stance, they also get things wrong, and its super understandable if you've just been in an attack you might - for example - have distorted sense of how long has passed since it happened after the fact.

Now that the police themselves suspect two Nigerian bodybuilders to be involved in the attack, is being skeptical of the story of two white MAGA dipshits allowed on ResetEra?  Stay tuned.

According to Jussman in his interview he never said that both men were white

He didn't clarify exactly what he said, just that

And he complained that if he'd said they were two muslims, or mexicans, that everyone would've believed his story and not doubted a thing

I GUARANTEE you that if he said he was attacked by a couple of mexicans wearing sombreros and ponchos, saying "This is cartel country, puta", or a couple of muslims wearing robes and turbans and saying "This is fatwah country infidel, allahu akbar!" I would have had "Uhhhhhh... thats a little on-the-nose for real life, isn't it?" thoughts

e:

The way the cops are wording it, they said he refused to "turn over" his phone.  To me that wording implies they asked him to actually turn in his phone for processing as evidence.

I could be wrong, but the report I saw said the poliss said he wouldnt let them see phone records and his lawyer said they dont need to give them to them because they can just get them from the phone company

Sweet nicole has said some stupid stuff but I don't think she's at the forefront of demonizing every form of sexualisation.

She is a enabler of people doing this, though. I bet people like platy would control their tirades if derailing threads with “whining about titties” were frowned.

Morrigan has intervened more in this shit shows, though.

It's not surprising when more than half the FGC don't respect women and buy every sexy costume they can get.

And of course, he is not banned. 

But fucking WHY is liking sexy costumes not respecting women. WHY. Holy shit it makes me livid. I’ve dressed as some of those characters, am I supposed to be a self hating imbecile or something?

Do these people even play these games?

Maybe there's a simple explanation: It's entirely possible the most vocal proponents of anti-sexiness are envious (at least on a subconscious level) because they themselves are ugly (enough so that a sexy dress wouldn't work).

eh, i bet half of these jokers have some pretty wild porn folders.

It’s because transfemale mods get triggered by cis female sexuality.

That doesn't explain all the users in that thread acting like 17th century puritans, most of which are neither trans nor mods.

I think a lot of them just do it to fit in, and maybe have been radicalized into it, as well.
I mean the Tumblr banning porn thread was full of people crying about their obscure fetish getting canned, so it's not like it's exactly a convent of a forum.
Like many of these outrage parades, it's less about the subject (anime tiddies in this case), and more about the opportunity to band together with the group and (virtually) burn the strawman of the month.

I love how they always change that depending on the person agreeing or disagreeing.

"I'm a woman and I don't like it"  -> see?! Women hate it!

"I'm a woman and I like it" -> You don't speak for all women!

[Boredfrom]

Believing victims is important because you want that show of support to be there for future victims so they can feel comfortable coming forward when something horrible happens with them. The fact that people go; 'Well... this seems suspicious... not sure I believe.... etc' is what keeps victims from reporting abusers because they feel they will be met with skepticism.

It's not as if you get anything out of airing your suspicions of a victim's account, even if it comes out later it was a hoax. You get a hearty 'I told you so.' but it makes you look like a jackass in the first place for doubting their story based on feelings.

I believe victims and want them to feel safe coming forward. I believe Jussie and hope this can be resolved soon. Racist and homophobic attacks DO happen in this country, and the victims deserve our respect and to be supported while they are facing all the stress that comes from seeking justice.

Not even children are this naive or stupid.

A lot of people are friends since GAf Era and is known that both mods and users coordinate response in discords. A lot of people want to just fit in but there is also a lot of people there that just wants to get in proxy fights.

Have they mentioned yet that a sizable portion of the fgc doesn’t support the shit that happened on stream? I can’t stomach that thread so I stopped reading it. Like, for real.

They do realize that a community means different people have different opinions, right? Then again, considering it’s Reset, likely not.

All that really needs to be said and sad that it's gotta be said on page 14 on the second thread. The facts will lead where they lead but your default position should be to support and believe accusers, especially when there is no reason to doubt their honesty.

There were a lot of reasons to doubt about it at beginning that didn’t include “being far fetched”, that there were not video about it after it was supposedly done outside a Subway was a big one.

Crackdown 3 isn’t reviewing well.  So a dev marches into the review thread and tells the world why it’s wrong.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/crackdown-3-review-thread.99615/page-49#post-17929723

So I’m on holiday after being rather busy for a little over four years, I figure as the results of that labour are about to hit tomorrow, I’d pop onto the internet see if any reviews had hit...

...maybe I should have stuck to the sangria

First things first, in case you are wondering, I’m one of the people who made the Campaign side of the game at Sumo. There were quite a lot of us involved in that side of the game, not all at Sumo I better add, and we’ve been working on this game for quite a long time.

Now, clearly the reviews are a little mixed... Let me start by saying in no way do I disagree with anyones right to have an opinion. I’m disappointed in some of them and certainly I see points that are valid having being on the crazy journey it’s been to get the game out...

...But... I also have to disagree as well. You can righly accuse me of bias, hey, i’m sure I look at the results positively, but let me tell you something first before you rush to judge me.

Over the years I’ve worked on well over 40 games and most, once we archive the code and launch it into the big bad world, I leave behind and rarely pick up to play again.

A select few, and the list is short, OutRun2/2006, Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed and now Crackdown 3, I can’t wait to get a copy of to play again. In this case I even went out and bought an Xbox One X to play it, as I couldn’t talk MS into sending me one...

Why do I feel this about a game that seems so far to be recieving dicey reviews?

Simply, each time I play it, I have enormous fun. And that fun changes each time I do it as it can be played in many different ways. As that is what Crackdown is all about.

We’ve made something that is unashamed of being a videogame...

We have no pretensions of being a movie, there is a story, its acted with some panache not least by Terry, but it exists to give you guidance to go beat the bad guys.

Which you can do either with your fists, a rather large selection of silly over the top weapons, a vehicle that can smash other traffic out of the way, drive up walls the literally change into a tank, or via any other means you can conjure up in our wholly physical world.

And if you nudge that difficulty up past normal, get used to improvising and using that world to your advantage as you really are going to need to. Even in Co-Op. I know, I’ve tried!

This is the rub, as a side effect of giving players freedom once you are let into the city, one reviewers playthrough is going to be utterly different to others. I’m already seeing a disparity based on how they chose to play the game - and on which difficulty.

I’ve even seen some go ‘Wait a minute, you can save the Agent and the World seperately’ which is a very intentional choice. We want player to experiment, to try different methods, different weapons, different routes. We want you to reserve a slot for that game you play with your best friend. We want you to try a combat focussed Agent, an Agility based one, we want you to try and beat the game with your own rules, never touch the ground Agent, see if you can clock it only raining down aircon units from rooftops. Or kill one baddie, and use him to bludgeon the rest to death with. Did you know you can kill enemies by throwing their dead friends at them?

We actively want you to go and have fun. Then show us! Stream it, YouTube it, make some GIF’s, there will be moments we go ‘Wow, fair play, we didn’t predict that!’ and genuinely laugh at situations we’ve given you the freedom to create.

This is why we are so happy this game will be on GamePass. Like the other two Crackdown games before it, its something players may not ‘get’ or appreciate unless they try it themselves. I bought the original to get that Halo 3 beta (I’m that old) but I fell in love with it as here was a game where you went ‘What if I...’ and it allowed you to try it, and then frequently hit you with a pithy one liner from the VOA as the results made you laugh out loud.

Its that kind of game. I’m already seeing players initial posts where their experience is fun, personal and rewarding. Don’t take my word for it, go look at the games OT. My barometer is always how players react to a game. I’m looking forward to what people who play the game think.

I suspect as the days pass, people will start to dig into the game and see if its for them or not. I feel a lot of people will find it is. Crackdown has always been cult, I’d hoped we could expand it and I feel GamePass is the place this can happen.

And if not, believe me we certainly tried, we wanted to make the best sequel to Crackdown we possibly could and in my eyes at least, we did what we set out to do. Feel free to hate it, your opinion is as valid as mine, but hate it once you’ve tried it, that’s all I ask.

Right, I better go back to being on holiday, though it feels more like rum and coke time vs sangria...!

True story, I checked out the balcony on my hotel room with my wife. she loved the clear sea view right out to the med. Me? I saw the building opposite, judged a level one Agent could clearly climb it and lamented the lack of some Agility orbs on the roof. This game sticks with you

 

This reminds me so much of the meltdown one of the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation writers had on the movie's webpage after it bombed.

Go have a really careful look at Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Then, tell us what we could have done better and what you'd like to see in future movies and TV shows. But really, really look at it. Be specific about your comments. For instance, don't write that there could have been more special moves, instead, give us examples of which special moves you liked, which ones you didn't and which ones were missing.

For example, did you notice that we incorporated Sonya's 'kiss of death' fatality while trying to give it a rational explanation? We did that with other special moves, did you notice that? Do you like it? Or did you get that every time Jade is bad, her hair and make-up are different. There are other costume changes in the movie too. Did they make an impression on you? Good or bad? And what about Rayden? You all wanted to see him fight in this movie and he does, a couple of times in fact. We tried to make it a different kind of fight. It's intentional what happens. What do you think? He even has a new look, he's sleeker, cooler, and he sports a buzz cut. Do you like it? Did you notice Sindel's sonic blast? It destroyed a whole canyon of ancient temples. Did you get this? How about Nightwolf's animality or the green glow on his ax. Did you see the Shadow Priests in Kahn's fortress? Did you know that the girl who plays Mileena is an Olympic Gold medalist in Tae Kwon Doe? That's so the mudfight will be exciting and realistic. Was it for you? If you look closely you'll see that we tried to take things from the game and all the other Mortal Kombat productions to the next level. There are tons of special moves, martial arts and special effects, in the movie. What do you think about them - give us the details, be specific.

We value your opinions tremendously and we want to give you the Mortal Kombat experience you expect. Please help us in this effort. Go see Mortal Kombat Annihilation again, or for the first time, then come back to the site and post your suggestions and comments to the Kombat Board. Your input will help us make the next Mortal Kombat experience as exciting as you'd want it to be. As Rayden would tell you, it is up to you to help decide the fate of Mortal Kombat.

My problem is equating stream monsters to the fgc. Um. Stream monsters don’t compete. They don’t even go to or ever been to an event. They’re consider jokes but grease the engines for people who actually play with views and therefore money. But they aren’t regarded at all. In fact pretty much most players will tell you they ignore chat. It’s funny how much they’re giving the fgc shit when Mama Dao and Killer Miller act as FGC mommies for the rest of us. It’s a pretty open environment. Not to mention mentorship programs like XO. It’s just a bunch of people talking about others they think they know but probably couldn’t tell you one thing about the actual community.

It’s pretty insulting.

Stream monsters are part of the "fgc."  Anyone who likes fighting games and participates on level, be it competing at events or just talking shit online is part of the fgc.  I mean, that doesn't stop the fact that it's mostly people acting like morons (I disable chat in any stream I watch), but they're part of the group.

Like even though I think the shit was tacky I just don’t see why it’s hard to understand that the ladies involved just like that kind of shit.

I also don’t see how the violence argument is considered irrelevant.

EVO makes sure what is and isn’t considered ok at their tourneys. Mortal Kombat’s violence is insane these days but it’s allowed. Evo isn’t pressuring NRS to make a goreless version for esport money. The violence in MK is so over the top that this has to be questioned. Never mind that each new costume pack makes Chun look *extremely* sexualized.

I don't remember any of this being a problem until some things started airing on ESPN.  That isn't happening anymore so unless there's a big company sponsoring a stream who doesn't want that content, I don't see what the problem is.  Never mind that the tweet everyone is shitting on came from the same guy who shat all over a really good Rose player from GAF (phatsaqs) because he lived in the midwest or whatever.  Fuck him.


And it will never stop being funny to me how Mortal Kombat has gotten disgusting with the amount of gore but toned down the T n' A.  Like...the former is way more offensive than the latter.  But this is 'Murica.

I’ll never forgive Capcom for making SFV DOA tier.

I think we've had this discussion already?  It was always sexualized.  With more details in each game comes more lewd.

Dude, your movie was really, really, fucking stupid.


What the fuck?  But Syndel blasts a canyon and Raiden has a buzzcut.  Did you not get this?

Also, I just don’t understand why someone as high profile as Jussie would fake this but all signs are pointing to it.

People are fucking weird.

It feels like career suicide though. And he’s tainting the Smolett name and bringing Jurnee, who is bae, along with him.

it would be such a stupid move that I wonder if things were kind of as he said happened, except it was vague work acquiantances doing 'boring' old regular gay bashing, but he or his manager decided to spice things up with the "maga country" stuff to light a fire under the polices ass

Funniest thing: me “just asking questions” indicating I think it’s possible he was or is telling the truth got me dogpiled with people assuming I think he’s 100% innocent.

My problem is equating stream monsters to the fgc. Um. Stream monsters don’t compete. They don’t even go to or ever been to an event. They’re consider jokes but grease the engines for people who actually play with views and therefore money. But they aren’t regarded at all. In fact pretty much most players will tell you they ignore chat. It’s funny how much they’re giving the fgc shit when Mama Dao and Killer Miller act as FGC mommies for the rest of us. It’s a pretty open environment. Not to mention mentorship programs like XO. It’s just a bunch of people talking about others they think they know but probably couldn’t tell you one thing about the actual community.

It’s pretty insulting.

Stream monsters are part of the "fgc."  Anyone who likes fighting games and participates on level, be it competing at events or just talking shit online is part of the fgc.  I mean, that doesn't stop the fact that it's mostly people acting like morons (I disable chat in any stream I watch), but they're part of the group.

Like even though I think the shit was tacky I just don’t see why it’s hard to understand that the ladies involved just like that kind of shit.

I also don’t see how the violence argument is considered irrelevant.

EVO makes sure what is and isn’t considered ok at their tourneys. Mortal Kombat’s violence is insane these days but it’s allowed. Evo isn’t pressuring NRS to make a goreless version for esport money. The violence in MK is so over the top that this has to be questioned. Never mind that each new costume pack makes Chun look *extremely* sexualized.

I don't remember any of this being a problem until some things started airing on ESPN.  That isn't happening anymore so unless there's a big company sponsoring a stream who doesn't want that content, I don't see what the problem is.  Never mind that the tweet everyone is shitting on came from the same guy who shat all over a really good Rose player from GAF (phatsaqs) because he lived in the midwest or whatever.  Fuck him.


And it will never stop being funny to me how Mortal Kombat has gotten disgusting with the amount of gore but toned down the T n' A.  Like...the former is way more offensive than the latter.  But this is 'Murica.

I’ll never forgive Capcom for making SFV DOA tier.

I think we've had this discussion already?  It was always sexualized.  With more details in each game comes more lewd. 

Yes and your past examples are highly selective. SF in the past was far more PG, the way it should be. Even if Chun has a big booty there was always various women, like Mak in 3s, to offset it. In SFV every single female character is sexualized to the brim and the fact you don’t see it shows you’re blind to the patty cake.

[FStop7]

And yes, if you support that crap with money then you are objectifying women and being disrespectful to them. Though some don't know what they're doing is disrespectful, it is nevertheless pretty harmful and I know a lot of people couldn't care less.

now buying any sexy costume is disrespectful to all women

Now that the police themselves suspect two Nigerian bodybuilders to be involved in the attack, is being skeptical of the story of two white MAGA dipshits allowed on ResetEra?  Stay tuned.

According to Jussman in his interview he never said that both men were white

He didn't clarify exactly what he said, just that

And he complained that if he'd said they were two muslims, or mexicans, that everyone would've believed his story and not doubted a thing 

Two muslims putting a noose around his neck, throwing bleach on him, and shouting, 'this is MAGA country'.

I won't say I'm surprised at the people involved in a homophobic hate crime being Nigerians named Olabinjo and Abimbola, though.

       Is this racial profiling?

I don't know what happened to Jussie Smollet, but I do know RedMercury is a brown nosing cunt

As I expressed on the prior page here, I wish this wasn't the tone of the conversation. I wish we were able to have an open and honest discussion about this topic, but we're not, so this is where we are.

That's not true, you can say what you feel. The only one stopping you is you, there's plenty of discussion happening. Nobody is going to take kindly to what amounts to playing the victim, like you aren't allowed to say what you really think without the mean old mods and users holding you accountable for it. All you're doing now is the equivalent of "I'll get banned if I say what I want but I'm gonna make sure to let everyone know that".

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT AN EMOTE ALREADY???

There's a lot of layers to this case now and so many more questions. Was it a personal beef or were they hired? Why would they call him the N word if they were also black (is this commonly used by Nigerians as an insult against African-Americans?)? Was it staged or real? Did Jussie know it was them or have an idea?

I think it is important that no one jumps to conclusions because even if they are formally charged, we will not know these answers until they either give a confession or are found guilty.

This guy found a loophole in the system of Reset Era:  Broaching questions and then cautioning not to pursue discussion of those questions.   It's like having a conversation with yourself in public.  The best you can hope for on there.

No.

It's very to get into specifics, but you have characters like Chun and Cammy who are more ridiculous than ever and newcomers like Laura, but then others like Sakura (now wears shorts as opposed to high-cut bloomers) and Karin (no more high-cut bloomers under the skirt and although she does have a bikini outfit there's full coverage in the back).  Capcom has also been releasing a lot of DLC outfits that have the characters in shorts or pants.  So the lewdness is more character-specific.

The most naked characters in this game are Urien and Ryu's (Jin costume) alts.

That’s kind of strange;  any time you are being detained you are under arrest.  What changed or what does “formal” mean without charges?

I guess maybe read their rights?

You can be detained for up to 24 hours (UK, I assume its similar in the US) without charges, which can be extended via court order, and you're then either released or charged.
Also being charged doesn't necessarily mean anything, as its only at the arraignment where charges are formally declared, as is a defendants plea to those charges - charges can be dropped at any point up to that time.

I don't know. It does kind of seem a little like a semantic detail. I think it has something to do with whether they are formally classed as people of interest or suspects of a crime.
