Chinese characters performing Kung Fu are far from lacking in the video game space in terms of represenation. Hell, Chinese characters in games are pretty common in general.

How often do we see Black and Brown characters in games that aren't a blatant stereotype?

[Don Rumata]

Chinese are the white people of Asians?

[HaughtyFrank]

You know it's a cool videogame forum when you can't talk about the new smash character because the mods have to "review reports"

[Rman]

Who are all these tattletails spamming reports? ERA is so weird.

[Pissy F Benny]

Would you get banned for using the term chi-com on ree, asking for a friend

Resetera is constantly conflating skin brightness with skin color with ethnicity with race.

The new smash character is a lady POC. As I understand it, gamers hate lady POC.

the main reason they want twintelle so much is so they can make threads down the line about "is it just me, or do other players D/C against me and taunt more often when I play smash's only black character"

It's also the n-th time an US centric forum like restera or gaf back then imposes their own cultural sensibilities onto other cultures. End US imperialism now

Temporarily locking the thread while we review reports.

4 hours later and still locked

[Raist]

Nintards getting mad that a chinese character instead of a black one got added to the Smash roster therefore muh racism muh diversity is peak Era.


edit: Sorry, I meant a w h i t e w a s h e d chinese character, apparently.

You talking about pigs?

If so, they're one of the most dangerous gangs in the country.

I'm pretty sure cops don't murder 14 people in a week-end in a single US city.

ACAB and defund etc in any case.

I don’t think that is a safe bet as you think.

In 2019, 1,004 people were shot and killed by police according to the Washington Post, whereas the "Mapping Police Violence" project counted 1,098 killed.

So ~3 per day for the entire US.
Don't get me wrong, that's still an absurd number, but I doubt it's anywhere near crime-related killings.

So instead of bringing justice and creating a better work environment that clearly affected the quality of Mixer since it was failing and I’m sure a toxic work environment contributed to that....Phil just decided in a day I’m just gonna sell it off?

Like... what???

So Microsoft are okay with partnering with Nazi/genocide enablers?

[Uncle]

A bunch of people really believe MS learned about how the one minority that worked at Mixer was being treated differently and Phil Spencer decided to shut down mixer and partner with facebook, all in the matter of less than 12 hours.

What reality do these people live in?

why would they do a concern about a minority being treated badly and in order to fix it sell out completely to alt right racist facebook
 

[BisMarckie]

What genocide has facebook caused or enabled?

I mean outside of the thot genocide when they didn’t allow nudity on Instagram.

[Uncle]

I would love to know how those contracts were structured. There must've been some kind of "out clause" they had to get out of paying all that money if the company tanks. But streamers like Ninja/Shroud had all the leverage to where they could've asked for the moon and possibly got it.

Either way, it's one of the bigger fails for MS in a company that's had dozens of them.

[BisMarckie]

Will be interesting when shareholders question them how much money was sunk into mixer. These streamer contracts were peanuts in the grand scheme of things

[BisMarckie]

All this pearl clutching about facebook is also kinda amusing, google, amazon and microsoft themselves all do the same shit.

Seriously? Like the answer is we’ll just bury the issue? That tells me that the Xbox division is riddled with this still because they’re not addressing the issue they just want it gone.

I mean...jeez. I was already escaping the Microsoft ecosystem when I learned they were helping ICE but I’m running now full sprint. Any company that helps with mass oppression is bound to be like this. No exceptions.

Yep, these transactions involving two mega corporations just take one day

[BisMarckie]

understand the temptation to screenshot Mixer streamers at their lowest of lows, but please think twice about it, especially since it is not unlikely to be re-used on other less moderated platforms.

Sorry

This is why I can no longer support the Xbox brand in general. Microsoft just throws money away when they can fund studios to make games like TLOU and Horizon.

Mixer is still there by default. I never bothered to remove it. Looks like my laziness paid off.

Apologies for the delay -- we had to wait for Asian staff to become available for some of these reports. There are some thorny intersectional issues at play in this thread that we need to cover before reopening. Many posters are disappointed about the ARMS rep *not* being Twintelle, as the game doesn't have much in the way of black or brown representation, and at this point that lack is fairly egregious. We banned a number of posts dismissing the idea that black representation in a game like this is a reasonable thing to expect and we would like to make it clear: It is.

The second issue is Min Min, a character with a Chinese name who speaks her lines in Chinese, and who is clearly Chinese-themed in a way that other Asian Smash characters are not. There are gamers who identify with Min Min and feel represented by her, especially at this time of increasing xenophobia and tensions towards China. This representation has value too, and dismissing that is also not okay.

Bork never waited for me when he issues a ban. 

[Nintex]

I expect a significant portion of the Xbox experience will be part of or involve Facebook by 2025 or so.
Microsoft Teams probably made more money in 2 months than Xbox did its entire lifetime.

Nothing about the Xbox business seems to be a good return of investment ever.
It's just a matter of time before they drop it but unlike selling wholesale to Amazon like Mattrick wanted,  it'll be a slow burn transition towards Facebook.
Where Microsoft does the content(TM) and Facebook the social stuff.

Those 'boxes', at this point AMD might as well develop and sell those themselves.

[Nintex]

Well yeah, or something to that effect.

Overall, I think its a good bet. Not necessarily for Facebook but more for Instagram.

I'm thinking Oculus. Mixer as a VR streaming service is much more interesting than just another Twitch clone.

[BisMarckie]

Think about how many insta thots will branch out to gaming instead of hawking makeup or sportswear.

All this because MS wanted to get rid of Mixer and the only company that even makes any sense for them is Facebook?

(the other big players are owned by their massive competitors in the cloud space)

Microsoft is transitioning away from a focus of selling boxes towards xCloud and focusing more on Xbox GamePass and content.
Facebook has the social media networks locked down with Instagram and Facebook and Xbox Avatars and such are child's play compared to those massive eco systems.
Oculus is growing in the mainstream VR space and will likely introduce AR as well.

Outside of LinkedIn and Mixer Microsoft doesn't have a social media network or streaming service.
They have a bunch of video game IP's they 'bought' like Minecraft and Gears of War but that's all.
The only thing they've built up over the past 2 decades with multiple bumps along the road are HALO, Xbox Live and a viable marketplace for third party publishers.

Whatever they're building now with all those newly acquired studios is not aimed at being a third place hardware vendor again and outgunning PS5 with 2TF or Forza looking a tiny bit better than GT7 is not going to make a dent.

Love the way “POC” was used to smooth over Black erasure here just as it is in real life.

Min Min looks cool, but it would have been nice to see Smash embrace the Black community the way the Black community embraces Smash.

Be mad about black erasure while erasing asians

The explicitly tokenist demands in that smash bros thread just suggests to me that someone could make a patreon fortune with an ENB style graphics injector that just changes main character skintones in games without giving a single fuck about what sense it makes because all that matters is you now have a "black" main character.

Which is why the Ninja buy-out was fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

Naydella needs to be fired and replaced by someone that'll take his mantra of focusing on Windows (which is  fucking mess with their QA'ing) and Azure (which is a legit competitor now to AWS and Google) and do just that. Stop buying stupid shit like Mixer and let shit like their AR hardware die.

Focus on:

• Windows
• Azure
• X-box (barely)
• Surface line
• Office (365)

Anything else is dumb.
