Nah, I highly recommend the doc on netflix about flat earthers; its genuinely hilarious, and there are people who believe the earth is flat enough to spend not inconsiderate amounts of time and money trying to scientifically prove their thesis.

A dangerous anti-science and alt-right adjacent belief that needs to be deplatformed is not hilarious.

Nah it's more like flat earth shit. There's always going to be that 0.1% of the population who are just so brain-damaged they will believe something because they have to believe the conspiracy.

The difference is that flat earthers don't actually believe that the earth is flat, they just think it's hilarious when people lose their shit arguing with them.

No, they are willing to spend huge amounts of time proving it because of all the attention it gets them. It's like a giant "horses don't exist, and if they do they're a a fruit" meme that drove half of Sweden into amazing meltdowns a few years ago.

They should bring back To Catch a Predator with a THQ Nordic special.

Austria has an election in September, ResetERA.com should be e-mailing the embassies to get the parties platforms on what they're going to do to hold THQNordic's entire set of employees responsible for these international crimes. This could completely dominate the election and help stop the new alt-right/pro-Nazi parties like the Austrian People's Party.

JETZT should campaign on nothing but this.

Yes cause when I think thieves, leotards are first in my mind

(Yes, because when I think "thieves," high school kids and big talking fucking cats also come to mind.  )

It's an important aspect of the character. Each character's phantom thief design represents the character and hers happens to be related to her roots as a rhythmic gymnast.

People saying "but she's a rhythmic gymnast" in defense of the outfit as if she's a real person instead of a creation of game developers who chose to give her a hobby that justifies putting her in a leotard. In a game that already has a bad track record with their (minor) female characters being sexualized lol.

Ms Galaxy, victim of and defender of child pornographers.

She was telling people on GAF they made her sick because “people like them” drove her pedo friend to suicide because they didn’t understand and empathize with his affliction

Just on resetera that poster has claimed to be a gay, trans, non-binary, demisexual, furry who was put through a religious sexual reeducation camp, an immigrant, a naturalised citizen, with friends (plural) who killed themselves because donald trump was elected and who has personally seen people (plural) leave the gaming industry entirely due to gamergate harrassment.

Now all of these claims might well be true, in addition to their few days being kidnapped at 7, abused and filmed then returned.

But those are some claims when taken together.

check your privilege shitlord

Jesus Tittyfucking Haploid Christ, that's a joke character troll, how can they let that thing post?

Wasn't this also the character who said they were a literal Nazi?

Like, this is absolute shitposting and they're too fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed REEEEEEEE-fucktarded with all their intersectional bullshit drinking deeply of the "believe all claims" (from people who agree with my politics) koolaid.

because if they disbelieve one, they have to be willing to disbelieve any over the top caricature of a poster

and honestly they should, there are quite a few people publicly admitting they post at era as a caricature for the lulz and bans (quite successfully)

Then they all get together and hash out ways to prove this thing that doesn't exist DOES exist, knowing it can never be proven which means next year they'll all get together again.

I used to live with a conspiracy nut pothead who probably would dabble in flat earth today (if he weren't dead) and at the core of his twisted personality was a longing to be accepted by anyone other than "normies", so he hopped from conspiracy forum to conspiracy forum, embracing ever more outlandish shit in an attempt to find a group he felt kinship with.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-zacian-is-a-poorly-designed-pok%C3%A9mon.121231/

This thread is seven pages long.

Never have I hated a Pokemon design more than Zacian. Pokemon using or wearing objects isn't a new thing. So why am I singling out this poor doggo for holding a sword in its mouth? If that's considered bad design, then what about Machamp (belt), Farfetch'd (leek), Klefki (keys), Timburr line (wood and steel beams), Honedge line (literal sword), and etc? Well, that's what I'm about to explain. The thing is that those Pokemon ARE the WEAPONS.

Can a steel beam be used as a weapon? Yes, but that's not its primary usage. It's mainly used for construction, and it's used to emphasize the Timburr's line strength. Take that away, and Timburr plus its evos still have their strength. For Machamp and Klefki, they are just accessories. The same goes for Farfetch'd. None of these Pokemon NEED those objects. As for the the Honedge line, it's not a problem because the Pokemon themselves ARE the weapons.

That's why I find Zacian's design to be jarring and inconsistent with the rest of the Pokemon world. We're using Pokemon to fight. They are literally bio-weapons. Zacian, however, is just a dog with  a weapon in its mouth. Unlike the others, Zacian isn't the weapon, its sword is. You might as well take its sword and fight the Pokemon yourself. Not to mention that its motif is the sword itself and not the dog. Take the sword away, and it's just a dog. It will have lost its distinctive feature and won't be a counterpart to Zamazenta anymore.

Each of the aforementioned Pokemon have their own motifs. The objects are there to emphasize them -- not to be the spotlight. Zacian's design has it as the opposite. To say that they're the same is absurd. That's like saying Machamp using guns is the same as it wearing a belt simply because they're both "objects". How they're used in the design matters. To put it simply: context matters. If Zacian is nothing without the sword, then it shouldn't have it in the first place. I hate this doggo. Glavenus did the whole sword thing better. God, can you imagine Glavenus just holding a sword in its mouth and charging at you?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/im-really-confused-and-think-i-might-be-asexual-or-something.121134/

I've recently been feeling depressed and lonely and trying to figure some things out. I'm trying to find a helpful label or group that can define how I'm feeling, but I can't and it makes me feel more lonely.

I was a really sheltered kid, not through any real fault of my parents, but simply because I was the first kid and they didn't know exactly what to do. I had very little exposure to sex growing up. I think I watched maybe three R-rated movies before I was 18. I barely had any understanding of the concept of sex beyond the very clinical explanations provided in sex ed in high school. I've always felt that I was about 3-4 years "behind" everyone else from an emotional development standpoint. I've always been extremely introverted since I was a little kid. I've never had more than one or two friends at a time, and social interaction has always exhausted me. I never had much of a desire to go out and make friends because the act of having to physically sit and talk to people would exhaust me and I just wanted to go home and do quiet activities like draw, write, play video games, or build Lego sets. As I got older, these hobbies never really changed, even as all my peers started hanging out, doing after-school activities, and going on dates. I didn't do any clubs or sports or activities throughout my entire school career, because I hated being around other people and just wanted to be alone.

What has always been confusing for me is my lack of sexual interest in other people. I first started to notice this around my freshman year of high school when my friends would tease me about not dating people, or if I had a crush on this person or that person, and I would always feel genuinely confused because I had absolutely no interest in these things. I do develop feelings for people on rare occasions, but they are usually very strong romantic attachments and never have any kind of sexual desire included. Because the people I always develop these feelings for are women, I've identified as a lesbian for about six years now. But I'm now 27 and I think I can count the entire sum total of every person I've ever felt romantic feelings for on one hand. I'm 27 years old and not only am I a virgin, I've never even been on a date, not because I'm an ugly wretch but because I have next to zero desire to actually seek out relationships with people. I'm so heavily introverted and so agoraphobic that I have no real problem spending all my time by myself. On the very rare occasion that I develop feelings for someone, it's usually because the person closely fits myself; otherwise I'm extremely picky with who I choose to spend time around. I don't feel like I'm missing out, and I never have, even in high school when everyone around me was actively thirsting for dates and sex all the time.

Now, after reading this you might come to the conclusion that I'm obviously asexual, and probably borderline aromantic. But what has always stopped me from identifying this way, and has always left me feeling estranged from any kinship with the asexual identity community, is that I do experience sexual thoughts and feelings, but never involving my actual self. I've long been a part of online fandoms and have been an active participant in reading and writing romantic and sexual fanfiction, yet I feel little to no interest in doing these things myself in real life. I experience sexual fantasies or ideas, probably on as regular a basis as anyone else, but they always involve fictitious or hypothetical people and scenarios, never myself. Asexual people often describe not feeling sexual attraction to anyone, but this doesn't properly describe my experience.

A while back I discovered a term that has been growing in popularity within the asexual community called "aegosexuality," sometimes called "autochorissexuality" or a few other complex names. This term seems to perfectly match how I feel, based on this common definition: Aegosexual people feel a disconnection between oneself and a sexual target/object of arousal; may involve sexual fantasies, or arousal in response to erotica or pornography, but lacking any desire to be a participant in the sexual activities therein. Common traits of people who identify this way include:

    Get aroused by sexual content but not actually want to engage in any sexual activities.
    Masturbate, but are neutral or repulsed by the idea of having sex with another person.
    Fantasise about sex, but envision people other than themselves, and/or view it in third person, as though they're watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through their own eyes.
    Predominantly or entirely fantasise about fictional characters or celebrities, rather than people in real life they know.
    Identify as asexual and feel no sexual attraction to people, but enjoy masturbating, be aroused by sexually explicit content, and/or have sexual fantasies.

These basically perfectly describe myself, but I don't feel comfortable describing myself this way because I don't know for sure, I guess? I can't tell if I'm legitimately asexual, if "aegosexuality" is actually a thing, if it fits me, or if I just have some weird sexual hang-up caused by decades of severe introversion and social anxiety that might be fixed by the right person. I can't tell if I'm asexual, aromantic, or just "scared" of romance and sex. I have no problem enjoying romantic and sexual content as long as I'm not the participant, but the thought of me doing these things scares me. I'm constantly lonely, but I can never find the right person(s) to spend time with, either platonically or romantically. All of this just confuses the shit out of me and leaves me feeling stupid and alone.

Happy Pride Month, I guess.

Dunno. What OP mentions is like what I'm experiencing right now.

I mean, when I was a teenager, I wanted a girlfriend and many times got desperate that I started stalking some girls. Not realizing it, though. I mean, in my mind I wanted to be with them that I didn't realize that made them want to get away from me. That's something I hated about myself, yet I couldn't avoid. Another reason was because I was (or still am) a coward who doesn't dare to ask a girl is she wants to go out with me. I always dreaded that she would tell me no and then our friendship would end. Nowdays, I have come to believe that what I developed was an obsession with those girls instead of being attracted to them.

After college, I have become basically an island. I hardly go out and can't find the drive to talk to other people or make new relationships. much less pursue a romantic relationship. I don't have also any interest in having sex with other people, and some stuff disgust me like other people saliva, for example. I can't imagine myself kissing anyone because of that. So yeah... I'm 27 years old and virgin.

Right now I'm in not rush to find someone to date. Perhaps because, unconsciously, I'm afraid I might revert back to those stalking tendencies I have for some reason.

yikes

[ToxicAdam]

A guy that doesn't want to kiss but still wants to fuck? If only there were some kind of service profession that could accommodate  him.

Imagine we lived in a society, where prostitution were legalized and destigmatized. There'd be a lot less frustrated / confused proto-incels in this world.

[thetylerrob]

That thread is basically just the tumblr version of an incel. They're too afraid to learn to socialize with people offline so instead they just give them self a convenient label so they don't have to feel guilty anymore. And of course they have an excuse for why they can't go to a therapist.

[benjipwns]

OP, you hit a lot of how I feel to a T. Actually it's nice to see I'm not alone in that way.

Maybe this definition will help you out

Autochorissexual
The term autochorissexual was coined by Anthony Bogaert and is derived from ‘autochoris’ which translates to'identity-less sexuality’. It is a subset of asexuality which is defined as: a disconnection between oneself and a sexual target/object of arousal; may involve sexual fantasies or arousal in response to erotica or pornography, but lacking any desire to be a participant in the sexual activities therein.

Asexuality is such a wide range of things that it's hard to really grasp it sometimes. It's hard to tell if my own intricate bullshit is part of a mental health complex/hangup or the label itself, but you certainly aren't alone in how you feel.

There is an asexuals group on Era if you're ever feeling lonely and want to bebop over. I'ts not very active, but it's a nice place to just chill https://www.resetera.com/threads/asexualera-ot-have-our-cake-and-eat-it.1128/

everyone wants a fucking specific label for their specific thing, how about if it ever comes up just describe how you feel

if somebody says "hey we should do the sex" don't say "oh sorry I'm ahegoromantic it's actually a super special designation let me explain," just say "I don't feel like the sex, I got some troubles with romantic connections I think ha ha"

you don't have to be part of a dozens-of-us support group

just be you

[benjipwns]

Hmmh. I can't help but feel like a lot of people pushing the "you're not asexual, you're just depressed!" advice are being kinda hetero/allo-normative. As if it only works one way, like everyone's allosexual until proven otherwise and cleared of any additional factors or influences?

But surely people of non-normalised sexualities are already more prone to having a difficult time feeling safe and secure and understanding themselves?

If you ask me, it doesn't matter if your sexuality changes and was due to hormones, genes, choices, situations, medication, hangups, society, whatever. Your identity can be whatever communicates your interests and needs to other people. That's why the whole "gold star" approach to homosexuality is pretty toxic.

I've had various people through my 20s explain to me that:
- im not really bi, its normal for straight women to find other women attractive because they are more *objectively* sexual
- women don't REALLY enjoy sex, they just tolerate it for the *other benefits*
- nobody *REALLY* enjoys sex, they just enjoy the ego boost
- demisexuality is just normal sexuality
- demisexuality is just tryhards being fake-deep for neo-intellectual points
- pansexuality is just bisexuality
- lesbians and bisexuals and asexuals just haven't had good straight sex yet

I overcame body issues, low self confidence and depression years ago, (btw feminism progress helped A LOT) and now i'm comfortably Pansexual & Demisexual, because, would you believe, it just works for me and makes me happy.

Also therapy is still a good idea because, like, when is it not a good idea? If you have anything psychological that's bothering you and impacting your life, that's what a therapist is for.

 Conflicted on whether or not I should buy this.
On one hand, it's a cool remake of a great game from my childhood coming out in a time where platformers are scarce.

On the other hand, THQ Nordic did an AMA on ♥♥♥♥♥.

The website is so bad, not even Steam wants you saying its name.

Ritsuko Akizuki, 765 Lieutenant

Yeah, they gave a generic corporate apology without showing anything that they're doing to learn from it, okay time to instantly forgive them with no second thoughts.

Yeah, I'm much worse than all the pedophiles and racist shooters on ♥♥♥♥♥ because I chose not to buy a video game.

ＳＰＩＴＦＩＲＥ

Go back to Resetera, where you belong.

Also steam forums are used for talking about video games and not drama/politics, if you want to talk about that go visit resetera, this thread should not exist and be closed.

Please don't do this, don't start this here, People are just happy that this game is announced. If you're not happy with company that made the game happen then just don't buy it and ignore it. It is very unnecessary to be starting this here.
Seriously just go back to your circlejerk in Resetera

I guess the anti-THQ mob isn't up for another protest. The thread about the new Darksiders game is actually just people talking about the game itself...what a concept

Once again, I hope you don't mind Diggeh that i quote you here.


Don't forget about all the things you're supporting when you consider any THQ Nordic games.

Here's a helpful summary post of all the events for the uninitiated.

Thanks! Feel free to post it whenever you don't see it, there's so many new THQN threads that it's hard to keep up. Ugh.

The guy who rocked up at that Pizza restaurant with an assault rifle didn't "do it for the lulz". He was so fucking stupid he legitimately thought there was a Democratic sex-trafficking ring.

Probably because of all the mountains of evidence on the websites he frequented

"Evidence"

I'm still rolling with the accusations = evidence

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Sounds to me that he's just a depressed dude with low libido and probably social anxiety as a result. Needing to find an online label so he can identify as something is sadder to me than the actual problem.

well what do you expect after the gamergator alt-right gaslighting of daenyrys in game of thrones by heteronormative patriarchal forces to ruin the good standing of histories greatest hero by character assassination?

Jim going for that low hanging fruit and still succeeding. Nintendies sure are easy to troll.

oooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - and i'm just spitballing here - nobodies really going to go to bat to expose thread derailing craziness over a fucking decade old spongebob port like they would over a promising looking new darksiders title (or metro being on pc gamepass, which also escaped the thq threadshit copypasta)

[joeboy101]

Apparently they blew their wad on the Spongebob thread. The Darksiders thread is still tame 250 posts in with the vast majority being about the game. Need to alert the discord!

Don't worry that pos diggeh will get around to it when his mom forces him out of bed at noon
