"You'll never amount to anything playing that taco anime shit." - Random High School Bully #865 looking over my shoulder as I play Breath of Fire III on my PSP


Jokes on you, jackass. I have a solid career that pays well and have a lovely relationship.
This sounds like a cry for help, honestly.

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

unless he found his girlfriend at a convention when they discovered they were cosplaying ryu and nina respectively, like they were meant for each other  :heart

I'd imagine someone who mostly worked on licenced shovelware knows exactly what kind of corrupt two faced scumfucks work as game reviewers, and viewed gamergate accordingly

As cringy and garbage as those videos are, is that really automatically "far right" material? If i think far right, i think NatSoc and nazi skins.
Unless there's something else.

Anyway, looking forward to the next Cyberpunk-level shitstorm, though i think this guy may legit get the boot before then.

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.

I'd just like for women to be able to dress like this in any media, be that an anime, a game or anything else, without another character getting confused over whether or not they are in fact a woman or suggesting that they're "dressed like a man" because they're actually dressed for their job.

double think for babbies:

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.

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.

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.

This is what gets me.  They're super good at picking and choosing atrocities to pay attention to and more often than not, they go for the social expression ones that are several steps removed from actual quantifiable effects on society over the ones that are demonstrably awful and indefensible in every way.

You have to jump through mental hoops to assume lining the pockets of an already rich British author is going to fundamentally change anything.  It's like saying Roman Polanski getting a standing ovation normalizes child rape when all it did was show rich people can avoid consequences.  Hogwarts Legacy can sell a grand total of zero copies and Rowling will still be donating to whatever anti-trans nonsense she wants to and likely in the same amount as if the game sold more copies than Minecraft.

Meanwhile, you got a company filming outside concentration camps during an active genocide that you get to call progressive because gay people are now allowed to kiss on screen without pushback.  So brave!

But hey, it's still a site based around luxury consumer products, so gotta pick and choose where to draw the outrage line.  And as we all know, 90s era progressives having trouble with adapting to further progress is a bigger crime than a pre-final solution modern day Holocaust.

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.

Might have been this other deranged fellow:

Quote from: Hvabbdakur
Okay, so, I am a transwoman. I've been a Harry Potter fan since I was old enough to pick up and read a Harry Potter book. More than any other fandom, this is the one I was raised on. I am hurt and enraged by JK Rowling's behavior, and I will never have the same joy and interest in the series I once did. I'm not rushing out to buy the Lego Diagon Alley that I would have flipped for years ago. The Lego Hogwarts and Hogwarts Express and Knight Bus in my closet will likely never be displayed, despite how much Hogwarts cost me. When I was in Universal Studios Hollywood this past Winter, yea, I checked out the Wizarding World because I was already in the park, but I didn't buy any merchandise, and I didn't really enjoy it too much. I'm almost certainly not going to wear Ravenclaw clothes or accessories ever again. This has effected me deeply on an emotion level, and I feel, above all, betrayed. And the more Rowling outs herself, the more I realize how Harry Potter isn't Feminist at all, how the goblins are pretty anti-Semetic, how, as a progressive American, I chould have been offended by house elves much sooner, and so forth.

That said, JK Rowling doesn't get to take a massive part of my childhood away by being such a bitch. She does not, in fact, own this story she gave the world. She doesn't own my relationship to Harry Potter, and I'm not going to systematically destroy all of my childhood joy. She doesn't get to take away that joy of being 25, able to afford to travel abroad for the first time ever, and getting my picture taken at Platform 9 3/4s on a chilly London winter's day. Which is to say, I'm not going to throw my books or DVDs out. I'm not going to display or wear merch again, I'm not going to buy merch again, and I'll never respect JK Rowling again, but I'm not going to never read the series again, or never watch the movies again. This series is my childhood, and she doesn't get to take that away from me. I'll never love it the way I once did, or openly display that love, but I'll never fully abandon it.

Which leads me to this game. Honestly? Probably buying it
whenever I get my hands on a PS5. Yea, fuck JK Rowling. She didn't write this game, though. I believe WB Games when they say she wasn't involved. And when I say she doesn't get to take the Potterverse away from me, well, I'd love to see someone else's take on the world, rather than her's. And given Rowling's notable distaste of video games, I can believe she just wasn't interested in being involved. Will she financially benefit from my purchase? In a tiny way, yes, but she's so fuck-you rich it doesn't matter. Plus, no ethical consumption under Capitalism. And, yea, I feel a bit bad saying that, but I'm a Japanese RPG fan. Persona 5 is my favorite game ever, and it's directly homophobic and misogynistic. Another favorite is Valkyria Chronicles, and, well, Valkyria Chronicles 4 went off a misogynistic deep end (and Valkyria Chronicles 1 did not at all handle anti-Semitism well). As a Japanese pop culture fan, I'm unfortunately used to finding something offensive and enjoying it at the same time I'm upset. That's going to be my relationship to this game. I've spent a good, what, 20 years waiting for this game? I'm not going to walk away from it now just because some close-minded TERF bitch doesn't want me in her women's spaces. Rowling can fuck off, and I'll play the game I want to play.

At least they admit to being a huge hypocrite.

Quote from: Dice
Dude it's ALL an issue. Part of the reason their characters get brought up so much is because there's a lot wrong with all of it.

Pyra's tits are basically the size of melons and put upon a thin and petite frame, her bust is made even more apparent by "boob sock-ing" each breast into a suctioned-on outfit. The game features numerous angles to ogle her, and numerous design choices to call attention to different sexualized parts of her body. On top of that you have a rather demure personality where even she's written to be embarrassed by it, so it almost feels out of character for her to be in that outfit.

Then there's Mythra...
Then there's the other rare blades (like over 30 of them last I remember counting?).... A majority which are female and a majority that are also sexualized to varying degrees.

No part is more or less of an issue when it's the whole package that's kinda dubiously made.

I had to cancel my Mythra one...That still hurts me (bad timing where my rainy day fund got wrecked by a broken fridge).
I really reaaly want the amiibo to fix that little injustice.

Is there any news on it yet?

I don't get it. I really don't. I buy that someone can like the game despite taking issues with the designs, but buying a little statue to put on your desk? You don't have an excuse for that unless you like that design

Gotta translate it.  In era-speak, he's clearly saying how much of a fanboy he is and loves his big tiddy anime waifu!

It makes a lot more sense if you consider that a lot of takes on ERA are purely performative and to "keep up appearances" with their peers. This is even easier to understand when you also consider that the mods have their backs by squashing any attempt to point out their hypocrisy (see Kyuuji with CP 2077 or Messo with his arranged marriage).

Just eyeballing here, he's obviously worked at Avalanche since at least 2007, and even more importantly, with the WALT DISNEY COMPANY, for over a decade now. Far longer than he's spent making "anti-feminist/pro-gamergate" YouTube videos since Feminism wasn't invented until 2017 with #metoo. And he's done both far longer than he's worked on anything associated with Harry Potter.

Not sure what that has to do with my avatar and I don’t think they have shown her pre augmetics. It can be based off her body before. I do like how the muscles are recreated in the legs.
