I worked at Target and its related stores and anyone who came form Wal-Mart pointed out how much better our team huddles were because we didn't do stupid/creepy shit like that,  I also heard plenty of horror stores form former WM employees who had to do stuff like piss in a bucket in the stockroom because they weren't allowed bathroom breaks.

(I'm not saying Target was great by any stretch but I have never heard one positive story about people working at Wal-Mart.)

you mean the thread where most of the posters spend most of their time taking shots are other posters? or the one that is primarily full of men telling people how women should look? That thread? No thanks.
I'm amazed this post only caused a one month ban. Those first sentences have 'perm' written all over them.

. Something I've been thinking about lately that has me curious, have any female vtubers given their thoughts on the subject of female characters' sexualization across popular media like games and anime?

They're really inviting the big brain takes

Such awful designs. Sorry, I can't take any of this seriously.

It feels hard to take this battle to the death between a pink blob, a plumber, a monkey and a pokemon trainer serious anymore.

Nep Nep used to tell customers just to pick up whatever they wanted and walk out the doors with it.

Quote
At my old job I openly told people if you walk out of the door with any items, consider it yours. It's against corporate policy for associates to run after you, and police don't give a fuck. So yeah, the idea that you're obligated to pay for shit (at least at my old job) is like the rest of America- built on a gentleman's agreement

Imagine Nep Nep in her beret following customers round the store shouting, Yo black, just take that shit out the door homey. All power to the people!

Good to know she's consistent in her ethics from her IRL job and her moderating job. That ethic being, "whatever the fuck I want, honey".

Truly, its everyone else whom are privileged.
Imagine being Neopet's boss.

On one hand you've got the absolute worst employee you've ever hired, but on the other hand, if you fire her, you know you're definitely going to have to take the time to fight a bullshit racial/species discrimination lawsuit.

I'm not going to sit here and act like Pyra/Mythra are the pinnacle of female design. They are horny ass designs lol. There are no words and deeds that can make up for that. But IMO thats ok. There are place for Horny Designs. The issue is when thats all there is...and despite what many here would like you to believe that is not the case...even with the very same game. But then of course, everyone's idea of sexualized is different as someone could find Morag as a sexual design for reasons. But basically I don't attend the school of though that sexy = bad and is the reason why fuckbois on the internet treat women poorly. It comes from the same school of thought from the 90's that Doom caused school shootings. To each their own of course...but i am sorry a lot of it reads as "I don't like this thing but thats not good enough so let me make that dislike about racism or sexism to really drive that point across"...and read hollow as fuck considering the skeletons in some of the louder people like that before from era and gaf. You can not like a design. I think Mythra is "better designed" than Pyra for probably some of the same reasons people hate them. But I draw the line when people attempt to make said dislike more than it is.

I'm amazed this post only caused a one month ban. Those first sentences have 'perm' written all over them.

If he really wanted to drive the point home, he should've brought up the Kokonoe incident where the sexualization thread basically bullied a trans designer off the site.

She's probably pretty easy to exploit.  You could tell her, "yeahhhhh, you're gonna need to come in over the weekend," and she would give you a face that says, "I am so going to post about this online but never actually alert you to how I feel in real life."

I played a Gundam Vs game on PSP in high school and one of the jock kids thought it was cool because he remembered Gundam Wing from toonami.

I guess I’ve just been lucky, but I never really experienced people making fun of others for anime or whatnot like Era talks about.

It's also amusing how most of the people crowing about how we need threads filled with praise for an IP in order to educate people are seldom the ones expected to do that education.

When I say amusing, I mean endlessly frustrating. Being blunt: if you're not the one having to post against a torrent of adoration for an IP that is directly tied to demonstrable harm to trans lives around you and your own life; shut up and sit down.

but...the taco anime shit is not what got him the solid career or relationship

strictly speaking he didn't amount to anything because of it and he might've gotten further/better had he not wasted his time on it

I watched a little of the dude is disposable video

basically he says that yes the woman is a damsel in distress, but the guy's role is to die over and over, fight monsters and get beat to hell for 5 seconds of gratitude at the end

people on the other side of the argument will tell you yeah, and that's also an example of toxic masculinity, men shouldn't feel pressured to struggle so hard and compete with other males for affection, it's the other side of the coin of damsel in distress and just as bad in its own way

whether you feel like he has a better point or they have a better point, the point is this is something that ought to be able to discussed openly and hashed out, the "wrong" person in the equation shouldn't be silenced forever and prevented from seeking future employment because of how wrong they were



maybe he is stupid and wrong!  let him be wrong then, you've publicly exchanged ideas and proven to listeners that your ideas are the better ones that stand up to scrutiny, and aren't so shaky that they require complete eradication of anyone who would argue

A Harry Potter game that has, so far, no problematic elements about it. I don’t know what’s dumber: the mods acting like it’s a sensitive topic or that they’ve dragged their heels all this time making a ‘decision’ on how the game can be discussed?

Either ban the game or ban the people that will inevitably shit up threads about the game, even the OT. Trying to juggle both is what partly led to the CP 2077 cluster fuck.

gamergate are bad people because they target, harrass and doxx the people they disagree with
era are the good guys because they identify, challenge and expose the people they disagree with

perfect timing to set it all up on a friday night too, so it can build momentum over the weekend to try and snowball it into forcing a resolution first thing monday

Essentially, because it allows anonymous support for posts that get banned without that user saying as much in their own words, or having to put the effort into their own argument. It also boosts those who can make a horrific argument with elegance or guile, and allows others to then boost and hide behind it. Much like ‘will you buy it?’ polls about games with problematic elements, it has the side effect of reinforcing majority views in topics around representation etc which isn’t what this community is about. If people want to back another post, and there are also tons of great posts every day, they can do so with their own post rather then making a discussion forum a popularity contest.

likes are v useful for a big forum like that for when someone posts an amusing meme or some shit and reduces a load of responses that are just 'lol'

however no one posts anything intentionally funny on ree so :trumps

i'm sure a big reason for them not having likes is to protect the egos of their protected users :teehee

REE doesn’t have “likes” because no one on that forum likes anything.

I wish people and companies would not use music from shit organisations. Just let them die in the past, like all the rest of the dinosaurs.

People's livelihood is more important than the music that is being played, and anyone that is not compatible with today's reality should be left behind.

If this game isn’t banned here by the end of the day I’m officially done with this fake ass community. Have the mods not learned a thing?

kyuuji defends why it's ok to play cyberpunk but not hogwarts

Quote from: Kyuuji
Not sure the "I don't want to discuss it among bigots" line holds up here relative to, say, Cyberpunk. In the latter instance there was content there that was bigoted and it was lapped up by an actively-bigoted crowd because it was harmful. Here the issue is less the content of the game and more helping to prop up adoration and respect for a franchise whose fame and renown is being used to turn public and political perception against the trans community. Not just in terms of game discourse but in terms of real, detrimental effects in real life.

I'm sure you could go to Reddit to discuss the game without people being actively bigoted alongside you. The fear can't be that anyone who plays the game is bigoted because, well, you're looking to discuss it while playing it lol. So it kind of falls apart. It just comes off as a cheap parroted line learned from defences for why CDPR content was allowed. The two aren't comparable in material or consequence.


liking an ip now results in actual real physical harm

Quote from: Kyuuji
So it actually just came down to Reddit styles being too messy for someone to handle discussing a single game there lol. Meanwhile access to healthcare and the ability to freely live as yourself in the world is being blocked, stripped back and made more unsafe through the proliferation of this IP and the actions of its creator.

This whole boycotting thing would be much harder if we lost anything of value.

yeah turns out boycotting is really easy when you pick and choose based on if it's already something you like or not

when you just have to see mando and black widow so bad that you look the other way on disney's support of muslim genocide



also why isn't all WB content on the list?  WB own the harry potter license, supporting anything they do helps fund the next harry potter project

johnny depp was in fantastic beasts so you can't support any other films he was in

wait now I'm doing it

Kyuuji spent months leading up to CP 2077's release railing against it, saying the game's transphobic, implying it puts trans people in danger, and saying CPPR are bigots. Then immediately after the game comes out, she gets it for free, becomes an active member in the OT talking about the game, and even new game plussed it! She did all this while sill being active in the sticky thread they had about CP 2077 still railing against CDPR, CP 2077, and anyone daring to push back against the narrative she and her cohorts built up! She was talking out of both side of her mouth.

In any other sensible community, Kyuuji's credibility should be as valuable as a steaming bowl of crap at this point. Watch as she pull the same shit again with Harry Potter. She's going to be in that game's OT happily talking about the it and enjoying it while outside the OT railing against it. Again being two-faced. Anyone that dares brings up her two-faced nature will get banned, of course, because the mods are idiots who can't (or won't) see how they are being played.

my assumption is kyuuji already isn't a harry potter fan so it's going to be real easy to avoid it, hence trashing it all the more strongly to keep up appearances of a powerful boycotter

Imagine being an EA employee and talking about 'dinosaurs that need to die', or taking the moral high ground on, well, fucking anything game related at all really.

I could’ve sworn Benji shared a post of hers once where she mentions visiting and spending hundreds of dollars on merch at Hogwarts Land or whatever the fuck it’s called.

Boycotting's easy when you employ mental Jiu Jitsu to consume the product anyway.
