I know you don't mean to be insensitive, but just because someone is asexual doesn't mean they are a virgin.

Yeah, I know, but I was on the way to work and couldn't formulate a better gag quickly. That really is it.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Besides, when I frame asexuals as 'someone that doesn't fancy sex very often' then I simply can't see them as a marginalised identity in any sense of the word. I'd prefer to pretend they're resolutely against all sexual contact so I can at least pretend to understand why they feel 'unsafe'.

! User banned (2 weeks): concern trolling

Japanese games take a lot of inspiration from other cultures, from myths, to history and clothing and armour design.

The problem is most of their characters look Asian, which wouldn't be a big deal to me personally, but they fail to represent the actual people they're taking these influences from.

For example Final Fantasy is steeped in Western mythos, the characters even have Western names, yet the majority of the characters are Asian and look like J-pop stars. Take Tifa for example, her name isn't Japanese, and she's from a town called Niflheim, yet is clearly Asian. Same with Cloud, and even Barret has a certain look to his face and lighter skin in the new remake.

Aerith was stated to be made more Western but still looks Eastern in the face. And in FFXII they stated they were told to make Ashe distinctly not Japanese but still did in the end to appease the Japanese audience. However with her I'm not expecting her to look White, but Indian. The team took a trip there for cultural influence yet there seems to be no representation of their people.

It extends to a lot of their games. I know a vast majority have anime artsyles, but even then, despite their brightly coloured hair, anime character have more Asian facial features with sharper eyes and smaller noses and chins. I just find it disingenuous when games like Fire Emblem have all these European inspired aesthetics and names yet everybody again looks like a pretty j-pop star. It's ok for characters to have bigger noses and differenr facial structures, Japan, as in the end most of the world and people your taking from do.

I know Japan is xenophobic, but when looking through Bulbapedia at the new Pokemon, and seeing that NPCs on the routes you battle in the original Japanese version ALL have Japanese names despite the country being based on England I just laugh at their need to self insert into everything.

Obivously this goes beyond games too. Stuff like the manga Magi with its Arabic influence yet features very little people with dark skin gets to me too. I just wanted to know if there's a reason for this and what your guys thoughts are?

Obviously I'm not against Asian characters, in fact we need more of them from Western developed games, I just don't like the lack of representation of the people they take influences from. If the West developed a game, based on Japanese culture, myth, and geography yet all the characters, despite having Japanese names, were distinctly western there'd be massive uproar.

Some of you are so woke I'm not sure how you make it through the day without offing yourself. It's great to think of others, especially groups that have been shit on historically. So do something for Native Americans that day or volunteer at a food bank or something, but trying to make everybody miserable on a day they want to spend with their family and being thankful for the things they have is a misstep. It's more about impressing others with just how woke you are instead of making a meaningful contribution. People are trying to get through this life with a little joy. They can visit with family, over eat and watch some football without having to feel guilty about it.

Imagine being progressive, an ally if you will, and choosing to spend your time volunteering for a video game message board instead of something worthwhile to the cause. Then imagine hating every moment you have to heard the cats. You are as draconian as you possibly could be, then about 25 users spend the better part of a week disrupting the entire site,  saying you are doing them a disservice by not being draconian enough.

Tip: If you want to volunteer your time to help the cause join Big Brothers Big Sisters, get off that silly board and do something that makes you feel good and change someone’s life. Stop babysitting a bunch of 35 year old children.

Pro Tip: if you need 84 months to pay off a $15,000 car at 7% you shouldn’t be spending all of your time on a message board anyway. You should be asking your manager for some extra shifts at Popeye’s.

No, that's exactly what he's saying, that being a minority shields you from your actions and that criticizing them for being a bigot is in some way bigoted itself.

Royalan stepping down was the right choice, his comment was stupid and hurtful, it was only two years ago, nobody is entitled to being a moderator on an internet forum and he's still around to show us he's learned from his mistakes if he has.

Hollywood only demands accuracy when it comes to historical stories about white people;  but continues to cast white actors in various ethnicity (or using vaguely ethnic looking people for any non-white character.)

I don't think any of it should be a big deal; but it shouldn't be a big deal to have a woman or a non-white man play an executive in a movie about the 1960s either.  Yet the same people defending Emma Stone playing a Hawaiian would probably be in an uproar if you had a black woman executive in Ford vs. Ferrari.

What if you have a galaxy brain and you think both are stupid? Stop erasing non binaries!

Love this Ford vs Ferrari review.

Picture this: During all 152 minutes of the film–which, for those who love vintage racing cars, will feel as good as an ice cream sundae on a summer afternoon, and you can read all about that here–men dominate the screen for 98% of the time, by my unofficial count. They are in the executive suites at Ford and Ferrari, in the workshops and garages in Venice, on the track out at Willow Springs Raceway. (And when I say men, I mean white, straight men.)

What the movie really lacked was a side story about Marge and Lisa buying a doorbell

Don't get me wrong, I'd react to seeing a black executive on screen in a movie like Ford vs Ferrari, but what if after some time of that being "normal" my brain stopped reacting to that?   And if the general public had that normalized, maybe we'd END RACISM?

Don't you want to end racism?

I think some people actually believe that this is an end that should be pursued, but in my mind casting a bunch of white dudes and making no mention of the structural racism that make the casting accurate (because it's not what the movie is about) is less offensive than casting a minority in a historically implausible role and making no mention of it. (because it's not what the movie is about) It's a weird area where it makes you feel good because a role was given to a minority actor and that's objectively good, but it's doing so by implicitly white washing historical realities that would make it implausible.

A lot of these people literally celebrate isolating themselves from their family and friends and encourage others to do so. There's been multiple threads with them bragging about how they cut their family from their lives for often petty political disagreements. The holiday season must be especially aggravating and depressing for them. They are miserable people that want to spread the misery around to others under the guise of "fighting colonialism."

No, that's exactly what he's saying, that being a minority shields you from your actions and that criticizing them for being a bigot is in some way bigoted itself.

Royalan stepping down was the right choice, his comment was stupid and hurtful, it was only two years ago, nobody is entitled to being a moderator on an internet forum and he's still around to show us he's learned from his mistakes if he has. We're not re-litigating this in here so go whine about cancel culture somewhere else.

That was literally the argument for unbanning Ketkat!

How can they not see their hypocrisy?

the next two posts say the same thing yet didn't get any rage.

Thanksgiving, even more so than Christmas, has absolutely nothing to do with its origin at this point. It's one of the few times a year everyone in the family is able to get together and enjoy each others company, eat until your stuffed, and be thankful for what you have. Nothing is going to change that and trying to make people feel shitty about it is ridiculous and futile. By all means, fight for another day of remembrance for Native Americans and the atrocities that have been heaped upon them, but the fourth Thursday in November ain't it.

I don‘t think imposing this white guilt about Thanksgiving is necessary. Watching the Detroit Lions is suffering enough.

They don't contain "woke", the worst dogwhistle since "both sides" 

While true, those two posters also didn't minimise ree's contribution by suggesting that they should step outside and actually do something instead of forming dogpiles on a forum.

i choose to believe that this is what actually sent them into a report-frenzy. 

How miserable do you have to be to try and hashtag-CANCEL a day usually spent with family and feasting that's so far removed from any colonial origins at this point?

I just don't get threads like this.  If you don't like Thanksgiving and/or your family (for whatever reason, it doesn't have to be a "woke" one) just don't go.  I'm pretty sure most of the negative people posting in thread wouldn't be missed anyway.  "Gee it's too bad incelsiorleaf couldn't make it this year, I made a whole tofurkey too!"  Mostly they are just the weird/awkward relatives who sit in the corner of the room staring at their phones and barely eating/drinking anything anyway.
