Cracks me up. Trump's America is a war-ravaged nazi hellhole, right up until the point where you ask if it's a war-ravaged nazi hellhole. At that point, the answer is 'no obviously not where on earth did you get that idea?'

Gaslighting. That's what's going on there. I think, anyway, as nobody ever produced a smug comic to tell me what gaslighting is.

Microagressions?

Amateurs, with enough skill you can deploy gaslighting WMD's on the masses 

[VomKriege]

It's so funny to read American posters defend their country as safe, but add "don't go out at night", "watch out for bad neighborhoods", ""don't argue with people, they might have a gun", "as long as you're white"...

Using those or similar guidelines, seems that the US is just as safe as Syria or Yemen. The onls difference being that in those countries you might be a collateral victim of bombing, while in the US shooting is the method of choice.

Can you please explain my tag? I know it's because I have the opinion that Gaf is heavily in favor for Sony in general (for obvious reasons since it has four times as much as other consoles), but isn't my tag really sexual? Like I'm giving some Sony guy a blowjob?

I'd rather like a xbox fanboy tag or something, but sexual like that is really... Saddening.

"Were you dropped on your head as a baby?" is an insult suggesting that you have brain damage from negligent parenting.

All these buzzwords seem to be designed to give people the ability to proffer an inflammatory opinion as though it were an obvious fact, and then not have to defend or explain anything when subjected to basic scrutiny.

Thing is, that's kinda how things work nowadays, so I'm not sure I can fault them for it.

No idea where we were. It was near a hospital.

Lindsay Ellis has that video about authenticity in YouTube personalities, and manufactured authenticity specifically. I think that's a good watch to explain maybe why the stock has soured for some viewers regarding Girlfriend Reviews once it came out the boyfriend was involved in the scripts.

But only when that opinion falls in line with that of your own... right?

Ah man, y'all got me, I WOULD dislike blatantly racist games for example. UGH. Turns out I actually do dislike opinions. This is a very clever argument.

If an artist decided to spew hatred and bigotry with their art, then I would call that out. That doesn't mean that it's somehow hypocritical to still wish arists to be able to not hide their influences. Or to consider art that actually has a message - even if it's only "Yo, Nazis and xenophobia are really bad, huh?" inherently more interesting. Both are possible at the same time.

It is funny how he see "politics that disagree with mine" equate to "Nazi and racism are good!" There's a wealth of political positions and political subjects that doesn't involve Nazis/racism/bigotry at all, believe it or not, that you may agree or disagree with. Not everything revolve around Nazis.

[Nintex]

They're really overselling the anti-Trump message in Wolfenstein on Resetera. There's other modern political stuff that gets a parody as well and it's not as blatant with its messaging as the previous game.
A recurring theme in the cables seems to be global warming. It is not much different from the other two games, which also had similar notes and news articles to find based on real world events of that time.
The game certainly portrays a more leftist/liberal view but overall is not much different in messaging from say the Romney cameo in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

[VomKriege]

I watched that whole Lindsay Ellis video about manufactured authenticity (*) and it seems barely pertinent with regards to Girlfriend Reviews since she mostly discuss breaking the fourth wall in taped shows (cooking, for the examples shown) and vloggers / slice of life type videos.

At one point Ellis says that a streamer using a racial slur may be a sign of burnout at the emotional labor of maintaining the on-camera personality during long periods of time. And that it should be considered and approached with some empathy even if not condoned.
 

As far as I can tell, Girlfriend Reviews has always been an obviously scripted and edited show, the Girlfriend don't appear on camera. Yes arguably there's a kernel of fiction to the premise but :
- They're a real couple.
- It's not "Emma Realperson Reviews", the Girlfriend and Boyfriend are obviously abstracted personas.
- If there was any doubt of that, they use the "distracted boyfriend" meme as a thumbnail for all their videos.
- I find mentions in articles as far back as March 2019 (so basically 4 months after they started uploading) that he writes the rough scripts and she performs and it doesn't seem like it's a big secret.
- They had a whole video behind the scenes in May laying it all out.

They also do Twitch stuff and I dunno nothing about that so please correct me if needed.

ERA

* I don't really care for Ellis and I found the video pretty shallow, it switches from a decent, detailed demonstration of pseudo-spontaneous fourth wall tricks using two cooking shows to some pretty vague, non illustrated, considerations on vloggers.

The event was a master class in social justice, at times putting shame to the parodies of the genre that now traffic on social media. In the video, the visibly obese woman asks: “Is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure—or is it my experience of weight stigma?” In the presentation, which has gone viral, Rashatwar also compared “fatphobia” not only to eugenics (which is itself absurd) but also to “Nazi science,” and declared that “a child cannot consent to being on a diet the same way a child cannot consent to having sex.”

Wolfenstein
Rage 2
Fallout 76
The Evil Within 2

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ban-me-please.1494985/post-254976832

All of the mod actions on his account were related to this specific reaction toward weeb games. He hasn't been reforming, but we'd prefer not to ban him over such silly nonsense. Alternative actions like this are considered in such cases, and here it's presumably intended to get in front of the next time he walks into a thread and intends to go overboard again. Maybe it leads to some self-reflection, maybe people know he has a chip on his shoulder and to ignore rather than engage.

It's not petty, juvenile, or tyrannical. It's a finesse action. He chose to make this account suicide thread in response, which is unfortunate but not very surprising. He hasn't been banned at this time, so that we can talk it out and understand each other better.

EviLore acting like there's more than himself modding the forum, and he's getting dragged for banning a guy who made fun of some pedophile weeb game.

I don't get the super hate the op is getting. Yeah these type of threads are lame but the tag he caught is really scummy. The mod that did that needs to fuck off from gaf, petty as all hell.

I also YouTubed that gun gun pixie game....if you play that shit you a fucking suspect as fuck. Fucking weirdos would play that shit, people with kids should be cautious around you.

It's probably related to the way Nintendo has treated the Metroid IP and Samus as a character.



We got the official character assassination of Samus: Other M





some really creepy fetishism in the smash bros series where they literally gave Samus high heels for her zero suit.

We finally know why Metroid wasn't ever that popular among children. It's because the latest Smash Bros. game from 2018 has high heels! And because the like the 8th game in the series was bad.
