Already on there.

Shitposting
A classic forum term for flooding a thread with worthless or annoying posts, either because you're bad at posting or because you do it on purpose to troll. The alt-right uses shitposting as a derailing tactic, kind of like a digital filibuster. The term is used flexibly to sometimes just describe any kind of online posting: tweets, memes, etc.

How could they disparage shitposting like that? It's a fuckin' art you uneducated cretins.

Quote from: Frank "Yuka" O'Connor
Maybe she's not healthy. Maybe an emaciated model isn't healthy. But the rush to apply your own sense of morality or righteousness based entirely on her appearance is the issue that Gillette appears to be trying to get to - they're a giant international corporation and likely doing it for clicks and eyeballs - as they did a couple of months ago with the "We Believe" #metoo commercials. In my opinion a lot more people showed their true ass then. A commercial whose basic and only premise was "if you see abuse or mysoginy you should say something " should receive maximum chill.

The only issue I have with this ad is the hypocrisy from a corporation that has glorified physical perfection and vanity and unrelated unrealistic physiques for decades suddenly having a change of heart that's likely only as long as the agency contract.

But regardless of the company intent - if you see someone whose appearance disturbs you then at least think about what your underlying judgments imply :

She eats too much? So do I.
She doesn't do enough exercise? Neither do I.
She presents a physical manifestation of a moral failing? Now we're going somewhere we have no business going.
She's celebrating a thing that society as a whole should be rejecting or preventing? OK so have a conversation about that without pinning that on this deliberate provocation. She didn't create food deserts or poverty or shitty fda food pyramids or corn syrup subsidies or potato and cow industrial complexes.

If Gillette is doing any good here then it's showing how easily manipulated audiences are. If you're legitimately angry about this - and there are real reasons to be at every outcropping - then at least get past the surface one. If an emaciated model is a victim of society's obsession with beauty and modal aesthetics at the cost of health then so is a plus size model who's rejected by that extreme of the spectrum and (theoretically) impacted by a culture that makes bad calories cheaper than good ones and refuses to implement or pay for infrastructure or Healthcare or education for its citizens. Why aren't Swedish people as obese in general? Well there's actually excellent data about that and unsurprisingly the moral failing or success starts at the top, not at the bottom.

I also think the general size and appearance of plus size models is kind of a joke. "Oh you can be big - but it has to be a very special kind of big!" Reminds me of "Hollywood ugly" which in real life is strikingly attractive or charismatic. The odd Gabourey Sidibe or Krissy Metz is still an outlier where Mindy Kaling or Amy Schumer are considered "gigantic" - and the latter in Spanx and no makeup in one scene was considered groundbreaking.

The fashion model "reality" shows do some disgraceful things with that by forcing the designers to pick a "short straw" plus size model as a challenge.

Imagine if Chopped gave two chefs a perfect ribeye steak and one chef a bag of lentils? They do that shit with human beings on Top Model and film them (designers and models) crying because they are or got the "lentils" and we lap it all up. Gillette is making us fight each other over a what is to be honest - the kind of person you see in the supermarket or mall every day.

She's literally one of the most realistic representations of a plus size American we've put a spotlight on who isn't being (on the surface) presented as a circus - like the "basketti" dance mom.

In a way I'm glad I grew up in the UK with their depressing kitchen sink dramas and gray blue collar faces because the amount of exposure our (US) media gives to regular looking or ugly people has blown all our calibration out of whack. "Reality TV" is what they do with leftover attractive people who have no other redeeming qualities.

Anyway TL;DR we're being manipulated into blaming this woman for looking like a significant chunk of America instead of wondering why taxpayers subsidize billions of acres of trash calories that are ruining our health and environment.

Gillette razors are too expensive too. I can't use them more than once because the blades chip on my beard hair and I am not paying three or four bucks a shave.

Not that we should be surprised that a genocidal apartheid state has so much in common with a dangerous psychotic like Trump in terms of dehumanizing language against "the other" that should chill every human with a still functioning conscious to the bone.

But I'm still struggling to see how Democrats can remain attached to this bullshit. Well, I know "why", but I'm struggling to comprehend the amount of cognitive dissonance you have to do to get to that point while still proclaiming yourself as "not the baddie".
I know it's obvious, but for folks not really understanding the image, it's literally a variant of a Nazi propaganda. It's hard to avoid Godwin's Law when someone invokes it on purpose.
Quote
The Nazis often described the Germans as being the Ubermenschen (superhumans) Aryan master race. This also created their idea of the Untermenschen (subhumans), in particular this was aimed at Jews and Roma (Gypsies). The Nazis encouraged the Germans not to race mix and that only racially pure Aryans should be allowed to breed.[227] As soon as the Nazis came to power in 1933 they introduced "racial hygienist" policies such as the July 1933 "Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring" which made sterilisation compulsory to the people who were said to have a range of conditions that were said to be hereditary.[228] This later developed the Nazi regimes euthanasia program in 1939 known as the Action T4 program, the main purpose of this program was to improve the Aryan race through racial hygiene and eugenics and get rid of the "hereditarily ill".[228] The German youth learned that the blond, tall, slender, and straight figures (Nordic) was the more "pure" and the ideal Aryan type that they were supposed to be and that dark, small, thick, and bent bodies of the inferior races (Jews) were people they should not race mix with. They were taught to have nothing to do with them and view them as subhumans.[70] Although the physical ideal for the Nazis was the Nordic-Aryan, contrary to popular belief they did not discriminate against individuals who did not have these features (light hair and light eyes), as long as the individual could prove their ancestry to be Aryan in accordance to the Nuremberg Laws.[229][230]
The "Terror" is the idea that Arab citizens of Israel are having more Muslim babies, who will eventually become the majority population of Israel and if their voting rights were protected as citizens, the end of the Israeli state as we know it, through democracy.

Imagine the US Army - ostensibly a non political organization - printed the same cartoon, but the "baby bump" was the unborn baby of a Latino citizen. The direct implication being that Latino babies will "replace us" - and the irony of the alt right anti-Semitic "replace us" chant is not lost here or even a coincidence. This is a nation state deliberately creating second class citizens and presenting their very existence as a threat. Human beings.

I'm not sure how much of this is just a desperate Israeli politician - who is being investigated for numerous crimes - trying a last ditch effort to save his skin regardless of what it does to his country - and the coincidence isn't lost on me either. How does Israel walk back from this? This is the IDF - not a politician. This is the ARMY. Telling Israeli Jews they're going to be replaced by babies of Muslims and other Arab citizens.

And that Tweet is not a unique little blip - look at this thing. Just look at it.

https://twitter.com/Ayelet__Shaked/status/1107718043571048450
This is Israel's beautiful, accomplished, charismatic minister of justice - tweeting a glossy government funded "satirical" commercial that brazenly says that "fascism" is actually just democracy. You're not missing anything subtle - it's a full throated defense of fascism. By the minster of justice. Who, btw also claims to be the only "secular" female politician in the Knesset.

If you think that Israeli arabs are treated as second class citizens now - or worse - then I suspect we ain't seen nothing yet.

Meanwhile the US is giving Saudi Arabia starters for nuclear technology and John Bolton is glad-handing Netanyahu to gin up a war against Iran. And SA is on board because they hate Shiite Islam and they hate Iran slightly ore than they hate Israel and the US....

I feel like god is setting up a Risk board and making up the craziest rules he can think of.

Though I've never understood how that's supposed to work exactly since he's also invulnerable to heat vision.

Or why it's such a regular reference yet nobody ever explains how he deals with his other hair.

Quote
Paul Kagame is a controversial and somewhat tyrannical leader, but I think he's been the right one for Rwanda. He's forcibly imposed a "Rwandan" identity on the population and tried to erase people identifying themselves as Hutu, Tutsi, or Twa. He's also delivered some spectacular economic growth.
Quote
His means to an end may be controversial but what Kagame has done for Rawanda is nothing short of an absolute miracle. From ending the massacre and civil war to completely reinventing the country's political, social, and economic identity in a matter of a decade or two makes him a damn hero. Rawanda is a model of African nation development and like you said, his heavy hand is needed and the reason for the country's success.
Quote
I have no deeper knowledge of Rwanda, but recently watched this video discussing the very fact whether Rwanda is the "Singapore of Africa" (which, to be fair, also kind of is a police state):

(Don't be discouraged by the title, I thought it was pretty even-handed.)

Apparently, there are some questions whether the economic growth is actually real and there are very little questions whether it is a police state, but on the other hand, coming out of a period of genocide is a pretty hard starting point.
Quote
What do you mean, "what is this"? I thought I was pretty clear. Kagame is a dictator who has implemented policies that have vastly reduced the risk of another genocide and has delivered solid or stellar economic results. I think that's the right tradeoff in this case, in this country, in this time period. You can call it "apologism" if you want. I'm also a big fan of Lee Kwan Yew; feel free to call me an apologist for his semi-democracy in Singapore as well.


Quote
“History belongs to the victors” or so they say. Isn’t Nazism completely skipped in the German education system?
Quote
R.I.P to all the lives lost. It's sad humans are capable of doing such evil acts towards their neighbors.
Quote
Wow, that's more deaths than the whole of the American Civil War.


Quote
This story makes me sick. I remember the movie Hotel Rwanda having a really profound effect on me watching in when I was younger. Kind of feels surreal we live in a world where this shit can still happen. Absolutely tragic.
Quote
If I may, I'd like to recommend to people less inclined to read, yet interested in the topic, to watch Hotel Rwanda
Quote
I remember watching Hotel Rwanda and having to pause multiple times to look it up because I couldn’t believe this really happened. Insane.
Quote
Hotel Rawanda was a hard movie to get through. Disappointed in how the west sat on its hands.

I wasn't really thinking about events prior to or at the same time as the holocaust and thus predating the "never again" the discussion started with. But thanks for the sources.

Also Russia is a white supremacy wet dream but Armenians are not "caucasians". Make it happen Era.

Quote from: Masoyama
Joe rogan can sometimes sound smart but whenever he talks about something you know, it’s evident how much a dumbass he is.

For example, MMA. People think he is this technical genius, but once you pay attention to the sport, hes a total charlatan. Same thing with anything relating to diet, science or exercise. Politics is an exemption - he sounds like a total dumbass from word one.

There has to be a word for this kind of line.  You know, the  "Everyone thinks X person is smart, but they're all dumbasses, I'm actually the smart one."  line where you actually don't say anything but toot your own horn.

She didn't even do any of the "actual" development on it, she hired contractors but briefly scraped up a handful of people who eventually all quit and consider her a scam artist. Then especially after the Kickstarter backers started to revolt after she totally abandoned the game, her husband basically took over development and hired contractors to finish it and dump it out on Steam. So it's kinda funny that she also included "project manager" in her self-description considering how terrible she was at it the one time she ever did it.

She designed the art and the concept, it's a former comic she drew blended with Mass Effect, even in the trailer this is all they say she did:


Her only formal education was that she was getting a journalism and/or political science degree but she dropped out of two colleges rather than finish.

While I don't think you need a CS/engineering degree to be a competent programmer, I checked her Wiki and yeah, there's no indication that she has programming experience at all.  She put "software engineer" in her Twitter bio, though.    :lol

When was she supposedly male? Sorry, only registered users can see this content. Please Login or Register.

As an intersex person who's been practicing multiple martial arts since childhood and bladed arts and archery I'll refrain from answering this but I'll say the following.

I'm not sure if that was the term the olympic committee used for Caster Semanya

When was she supposedly male?
huh, guess you're totally right, I thought the profile used to say Male for some reason and thought the toxic masculinity was appropriate like most of people in the "sexualised character designs" thread

thankfully by researching this I came across my favorite of her posts:
Ashe's character, like many others, was created after the fact of her design. She exists as a foil to McCree because, upon settling on a design, they simply made her that way. We don't know how she would've been characterized as a black woman because Blizzard didn't give her the chance to be a black woman.

i love TheSyldat, they are badass and fairly desexualized
Loooong beleaguered sigh



Do I really need to elaborate here ...

A double damn fucking shame when you consider that this game (Fantasy Strike) is ironically forming you and easing you in fighting game truisms , by ironically havinng the gal to challenge aforementioned mechanical truisms through creating a more streamlined mechanical paradigm that ironically gives you a better footing to approach more "serious buisness" 2D fighting games ...

Sooo being more mechanically accessible to lower the barrier of entry in the whole genre altogehter yes ... but being sensible character design wise ? Naaaahh

And that's just for Jaina ... don't get me started with Valerie and then the compare and contrast with Setsuki ...
Quote
Okay Jaina is using mongolian style composite bow.
-Which mean that the bowing string is developping at least 60 joules of force once released , so that string swing back in rest position at approximately 85 km/h
Wearing cleavage revealing top with string speeds of that magnitude = your boobs are gonna get a truck load of deeeeeeppp cuts like hemorrhagic deep cuts.
Like for real "hell to the fucking no" .
-Then the breast plate to protect the breast on the side of the bow holding arm not being on the right boob once in player 2 position .
-The gloves now , again sorry not sorry but with mongolian style bow your entire forearm is at risk of getting cut by the string so your bowing gloves should always be elbow height length on the holding arm ... (and that's if we only plan to talk about the holding arm wrong design decision because the bowing arm glove is equally as stupid with a mongolian style bow )

And I could continue for hours ...

I didn't screenshot all of the animations that reveal problematic design choices with her ...
But my god is it atrocious. And what's even worse is that it's being atrocious while trying to pass for sensible desing because for once at least bowing protective gear IS on display.
So on the one hand you want to congratulate them for putting sports protective apparel on their character designs , and yet at the same time you wanna slap em for getting it so wrong ...
Almost as if the effort was only half hearted ...

And like I said Valerie is even worse in that regard...
Quote
For the bowing hand glove ironically she should be wearing that kind of glove
(again Mongolian Style Composite bows are weird beasts that requires one hell of a protective setup )
 

So even the gloves are wrong because the holding arm is showing skin while it should be entirely covered , while on the other hand the bowing arm and hand are overly covered because you do want your finger tips in contact with the string given the kind of pull you have to muster on those babies , and you do want your bowing arm to be naked as hell because on your bowing arm for your own safety you do want to feel the wind on that arm because it informs you of the intial sway your arrow is gonna receive , so having your arm naked is allowing to take notice of wind sway to not realease your string when the wind is too strong for it to be safe to shoot your arrow ....

Like ouch my head hurt just because I have to say all these out loud ...

I know that the glove setup for mongolian style bows is weird but it exist for a reason the archer's safety
Quote
So TLDR : Jaina should be wearing this on the holding arm
 

and be fully unsleeved while wearing the bowing glove i showed you on the bowing arm

We all know why they did it they wanted to "show some skin" but here they have no excuse for getting it wrong because with their choice of bow for Jaina they had a perfect excuse to have an entire arm to be naked ...
Quote
That would be cool if an alternate was gear accurate indeed .
Because yes she is a feisty woman , but Master Yomi is a very loving adoptive father from what we see so far , and I can't imagine him letting her train without proper gear.
Maybe I'm porjecting too much but really he does seem like a very nurturing adoptive father sooo why letting his daughter train unprotected .
(sorry to be stubborn about this one but they called for that criticism by making Master Yomi looks like a tender father )

Y'all really need to start checking the post count on these guys before you start making these long ass posts that they have no intention of ever responding to.
And yet those long ass calm and collected posts will in the long run be read by other passer by who'll quietly read them and take some notes.

Especially when members of the industry (such as myself) are reading ...
And I know I'm not the only reader of that thread on a regualr basis within the industry (ironically my colleagues seems happy just being silent lurkers ... which makes me feel a bit lonely in this thread ... come gals and guys show your paws every now and then dammit ! )
Quote
Resetera at least tries to aim in its moderation to be welcoming of everyone , and also this is a space primarily for gamers to speak and exchange ...

In that spirit the verification is mostly here to singal members of the industry that wants to respond as members of the industry.
Personnaly although I do work in the industry when I come on Era it's as a gamer that I interact with people (although sometimes I overlap ... can't help it, it's human )
And I value harsh moderation that forces me to take a breather. As Sabrina said if you can't take being shown the door and told to not comeback until you cooled off I indeed don't want you in Era's corridors and threads ...

You didn't so much touched a nerve than make me want to mention that although the conversation I'm alluding to CAN and SHOULD in part at least take place in this very thread because some of its aspects pertain to representation of women and their sexuality too in video games .... on the other hand my fighter-sexuality is something I'm still not comfortable with at the age of 35 and I know many a woman who don't have a happy sexual side of being on the mat and aren't comfortable talking about it with strangers at ages even higher than me.
Yet video games could and should touch on that very subject and fighting games given that they are these days having story modes where they elaborate on the fighter lives of all those fighters always give a hard pass to touching that topic and yet I feel that gamer parents of kids who practice martial arts could stand to benefit to hear about the long term effects martial arts have on your sexuality and how teenager years are a nightmare for ALL OF US ...

TL:DR Martial Artists men and women often have the convseration about fighter sexuality , but not all of us are comfy having that conversation with non martial artist folk , and I won't have it and "drop that bomb" on yalls if I'm the only one shouldering the convo . Until fellow marital artist (especially women) shows up here this convo will stay a rapid pitch on my part on how much this is a subject that fighting games COULD and SHOULD give some thought about ...
fighter-sexuality

Like for real am I the only one who wants to play a female Link (and no Linkle doesn't count I want the hero of time the real hero of time to be a woman for once )
Quote
I don't mind Linkle as a concept (and design wise I actually dig her) hell having the hero of time having STILL ALIVE family is a cool thing (Linkle is supposed to be Link's sister ) .
I only brought her up because this is not what we've been asking for all along and people at NIntendo know it all too well . This isn't what we want , what we want is for LINK to be a woman .And that's what Nintendo straight up refuses to give us.

tbh Metroid Prime's Samus might as well be in a wheelchair with jump jets on it :teehee

edit: actually she doesn't even strafe like she's got legs so much as jet to the side :lol

Link is actually into bears and is having a secret affair with Zelda's fat hairy father. Do a google search, you will find evidence
