Some of them got banned at a time where the OP was merely this:

anyone else find this film racist and cringe-worthy in terms of dialogue? aged pretty poorly imo

 

[Uncle]

and I thought LORE was banning every other person

anyone else find this film racist and cringe-worthy in terms of dialogue? aged pretty poorly imo
======
edit: sorry, i swear i've seen threads in the past open w/ one liners + low general effort and i just wanted to start the conversation bc ppl on this site are generally smarter than me. also thought i didn't need to provide examples bc if you acutally watched the movie you would know what i'm referring to bc it's that on the nose. kinda shocked people are so dismissive and adamant that it wasn't though but i'll try and provide more examples of orientalism / racism that i thought were present throughout:

1) dialogue w the constant switching of L's / R's - they probably make nods to this like 7 separate times? loger moore, lat pack, brack toe, lip stockings, fright, etc - idk i just find this type of shit juvenile and felt it aged poorly
2) the movie fails to actually give character or flesh out any of the japanese characters in this - they are more so used as a vehicle or backdrop for bob and charlotte and they're more often viewed in a lens of inferiority opposed to actual appreciation
3) felt a lot of the attitudes towards the japanese were disrespectful - a lot of the scenes just gave me a general sense of american superiority and rubbed me the wrong way. i can't really pinpoint to anything specific bc it's sprinkled throughout but it really just felt disrespectful of the culture.

there was a lot i liked about the film, namely the themes of existentialism and the tones of melancholy romance but yeah i walked away conflicted

and this article was linked later down the thread but is a good read that echoes many of my sentiments:

As rather large number of bans have been given out in this thread and given the level of dismissiveness on display and the fact that said dismissiveness is offensive to many of our members, we'll be keeping this thread locked.

Guys, your Japanese anime pillow girlfriend is not a real person. She can't be offended.

[Switters]

American Zoetrope just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm a white concern troll), but honor and shame are huge parts of it.

It's not like it is on RESETERA where you can become successful by being an asshole.

If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Lost in Translation for AMC or Regal Cinemas, nor will they purchase any of American Zoetrope's future movies. This is HUGE.

You can laugh all you want, but American Zoetrope has alienated an entire market with this move.

Sophia Copolla, publicly apologize and cancel the Lost in Translation anime OUYA exclusive or you can kiss your business goodbye.

[Don Rumata]

In an alternate reality:

User Banned (2 weeks): Inflammatory commentary. Having a Japanese spouse doesn't give you license to decide what should be offensive to others.

It's harmful.

Showed it to my Japanese girlfriend and she found the rip/lip scene insulting.

JK Rowling is openly transphobic. Members are welcome to discuss that in this thread. Harry Potter itself is also not immune to criticism. Posts trying to shut down these lines of discussion will not be tolerated. As a public figure with global influence, Rowling's words have serious and tragic consequences which you can read about here:

https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/news/a-call-to-j-k-rowling/

It is okay to be excited for the game. It is not okay to be dismissive of posters concerned about JK Rowling’s bigotry. Avoid personal attacks on other members. If you see a post that violates these guidelines please report it.

As an addendum: We’ve been seeing a lot of low effort posts with empty praise for the game from junior accounts and long-inactive accounts, and it sure seems like some of them are trolls trying to antagonize the community. We’d like to be clear that you do this at your own risk. We look at these case by case and we’ve been issuing bans since the first day this thread went up. If we think you're just here to stir the pot you will get hit. This will be the policy in every thread on this game going forward.

Literal babies.

[Potato]

As someone who is fairly ignorant of the whole JK Rowling is transphobic thing, can someone explain to me using non-Reeeeeee concepts and terms, exactly how she is transphobic?

My understanding is that she is accepting of trans women as women, but does not accept that a Trans woman is a biological woman. She also has some issues with trans women co-opting the feminist movement.

Am I right here?

That's just straight up dangerous. No wonder you people have so many problems with accidental shootings. Lock that shit up in a safe and keep the keys secure.

If you live in a society where you feel you need a gun for self defence, you need to change your culture, not buy more guns.

i retract my intrigue, this all seems very pathetic

i have mucho sympathy for people getting ripped off by their "bosses" but also at some point you'd surely think to yourself "why am i spending hours of my life going frame by frame in the smash brothers trailer looking for SECRET MESSAGES AND CLUES to then spend more hours making a video about them for basically fuck all?" and tell this andre character to suck your dick and quit

What I don’t get about Andre’s stance is that surely it completely ruins him as far a social media and forums are concerned? He’s now always going to get a ton of crap for how he behaved but with a proper apology and a promise to change he may have slowly rebuilt his image. He’s instead cemented himself as a really bad manager which I don’t see the benefit of at all. It’s just bizarre from someone who acted like they were a true social justice warrior and instead he ends up having more in common with those he criticised than you would ever believe. So so weird.

Yup. And I do believe he loved Pokemon Snap also!



Boy, imagine if Nintendo announced a new Stunt Race FX...and he couldn't respond!!!

I'm sure this guy is sour about a Pokemon game after his decade old job project has been destroyed... well actually, he might be - we are talking about ree-type nintendies after all

Now that the older employees have left to greener pastures, maybe it's a good idea to support those endeavors instead of focusing on the "drama" of this situation now. Just a thought.

There were variations of it used in white supremecist gangs (like sideways, or pointing down), but a standard "ok" hand sign was also co-opted as a white supremecist signal when Trump was in office. It started as a 4 Chan or 8 Chan "prank" to make liberals and progressives look foolish, but was adopted so much by white supremecists that it's a very common usage now. It's very mainstream these days, surprised you hadn't come across it.

Motherfucker, people still need to explain Pepe triggering you. How the fuck a normal person would know what is a “mainstream” white supremacy hand symbol that looks like the universal symbol of OK (something that companies still uses as emoticons.

I mean, it would have to be a mainstream thing that everyone recognises now, because otherwise the moral of that story is 'left wing* idiots got straight up trolled by right wing* idiots'.

*and by 'left wing' and 'right wing' I obviously mean Way Too Fucking Online Team Green versus Way Too Fucking Online Team Purple, to distinguish from real world political allegiances

After leaving the shower, Bowling sat down at his computer, took the words his colleague had edited, and started putting together a video review of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. When the review went live shortly thereafter, in theory the culmination of Bowling's intense time and effort, Square Enix flagged the video footage over confusion about whether it required an influencer disclosure. The video was taken down, and would not appear for another two days. He'd rushed those 48 hours for nothing.

 

Sounds less like dangerous and more like incompetent management.

Edit: wait what

"André," is André Segers, longtime owner and manager of GameXplain. Segers didn't tell Bowling he was required to finish a review of Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 48 hours. He didn't tell Bowling to play without sleep. But he didn't stop Bowling from doing all of that, either.

[Drainage]

Sounds like Bowling needs his Mom to help negotiate his contracts and workload going forward

HE DIDNT TELL HIM TO DRINK BLEACH BUT DIDNT SAY NOT TO EITHER. PLEASE BE OFFENDED.

Also this was a nintenbaby aimed channel through and through? Pretty sure every video of other platform's content flopped. No way they had any rush to get a FF7 video out. In fact, they clearly blamed Square Enix and not their boss in the original podcast that started it all. But resetti gonna resetti, they need someone to blame for all the world's misery. Then move on to the next sacrifice among the people that are still stupid enough to engage with them.
