Quote from: Kyuuji, post: 59205134, member: 31943
On a more serious level this is the rough question that many LGBTQ+ people face when coming out later in life. Do you play the role of someone else and maintain your current love and partner in life, or risk having to lose them in order to actually live life as yourself.

Be on “a more serious level” in a Shrek thread brehs

what the fuck kyuuji how is that not an actual inflammatory comparison

"when fiona decided to become a fat green burping farting swamp-dwelling non-human, in many ways that's a lot like coming out as trans"

I've highlighted the part that makes it permissible to directly compare transitioning gender to changing species.

Not really, it's a uniquely American story. He became a villain because of the failings of his society. Layered failings over the course of the show. A tale as old as time.
It’s a white dudes tale is more accurate.

What's with these gaming outlets with the term "Anti-Social Justice"? What the hell.

Quote
Yeah, I wish they hadn’t used that term and just spelled it out plain. Makes it easier for these pieces of trash to dismiss the entire thing as SJW nonsense and scream their support. Maybe labeling it “misogynistic, racist, and transphobic beliefs” would have triggered less blatant responses, but at least some genuine debate could be had on those articles against all of the dog-whistling that would have cropped up instead.

Quote
Yeah I don't like how the Kotaku article downplayed his channel by calling it anti-SJW when it is clearly more than that.

Quote
Boy Kotaku really dropped the ball with that headline.

learnt something from Gawker about declaring things without evidence :idont

Maybe era could learn the difference between opposition of one thing and endorsement of its opposite.

Being 'against' the extremist idea that cishet white men are 'over' and there should be no games for, by, or about them anymore, doesn't mean you are 'for' the idea games should ONLY be for, by and about cishet white men.


Maybe the most relevant tweet on this guys timeline is this one

It's so infuriating really.

We have clear evidence bright as day that the rich and powerful are actively fucking us all over day and night, every day, every month, every year, YET there are still people who will fucking defend these assholes! Who still believe is some stupid god damn pipe dream that they are gonna come down from their gilded houses, spread some money around and save us out of the goodness of their hearts. Meanwhile all we see is that they spend money, to earn more money, money that they take from the people and put in their own coffers and leave the people with less. Like right there in the immediate opening of the video we have the Bill and Gates foundation who fucked people of poorer countries over by dangling money, money from a CHARITY FOUNDATION, over the Oxford vaccine that could have become open source and easy to produce for everyone and told them to make it exclusive to ONE company, who is now under producing it on their own.

BUT IT'S OKAY, Bill said a nice thing about how we need to cut down on meat so it's all a net loss of 0!

Death to capitalism! Fuck the rich! Take from them EVERYTHING and leave them NOTHING!

Socialism is the only way forward for humanity!

Quote from: kaebie
Find a way to talk about JRPGs without unearned western exceptionalism 🙄

Quote from: Slatsunus
Never going to happen, its a mainstay of the thread. The west "dragging" Japan in a more progressive direction is such aa ludicrously xenophobic take that's just allowed for some reason

Quote from: kaebie
Quote from: Famassu
It's less "west dragging Japan in a more progressive direction" and more "big Japanese publishers want their biggest games to have worldwide mass appeal + current trends outside Japan lean towards a more inclusive, sensitive way of depicting different demographics while Japan is behind when it comes to stuff like gender equality & minority representation -> some publishers have started taking pointers from outside Japan on how to handle these things".

yeah no I've been here since the beginning and this OT has had a racism problem since day 1. Justifications like this trying to pretty it up pretending it's all constructive doesn't help. There's rarely been a discussion in these topics that actually necessitated even mentioning a game/dev is Japanese in order to highlight issues with character designs and/or gameplay. If you're not Japanese it's not your place to talk about what needs fixing with the culture, end of. The Asian meeting report happened less than 1 year ago, and nothing changed in response. Someone asked a broad neutral question recently "are things in games getting better or worse?" and was met immediately with west good Japan bad.

if you lot still aren't getting it, here's a sample of sweeping generalisations and Asians are backwards rhetoric from only the last month or so

Quote
I think what you're missing is that it was always like this, and continues to become worse because doubling down on bullshit tends to be the response when Japan is met with progressive ideas.
Quote
Everybody loved her design except Japan. They complaint about her looking too old and called her an "auntie" and "hag". I'm not a fan of the remake in general, but this goes to show how rotten Japan is when it comes to female characters..

I had a whole response about how different JP discussion of that Aerith photoshop actually was versus how it was framed by those that spread it into EN fandom via clickbait youtube videos. It was one guy on twitter who got ratio'd by people mostly dunking on him saying she looks great and he's crazy. But one dude = all Japan now

Quote
At this point, if its from the east chances are I could bet $100 on something problematic in a game and i'd be safe nearly every time. ( I dont like to generalize... but i'd love to be proven wrong for the majority of games coming from Japan.)

"the east" ........

Quote
Why do you always have to be like this Japan?
Quote
I hate to say this but that is most likely the truth about character design in japan. They probably don't see it as wrong and will likely not change.
Quote
Regarding Japanese games, I’m terrified by the thought that they don’t even understand how that kind of design is wrong

in a year when anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes are rising everywhere, coming to a thread that's supposed to be welcoming and still having to see dehumanising shit like this makes me sick. and I say all this knowing I'll also be met with dismissal over it.

Quote from: Trucy Wright
I agree with kaebie many times as I read the thread, I felt uncomfortable due to the causal anti - Asian sentiments, in other words passive racism disguised as "game critiques", from calling a whole country or even Asia as a whole "backwards" to making it seem like the west is what drives feminism there.

"b-but but some Asian devs take notes from the west and western devs lean to inclusivity!" yeah that's just an assumption, and even if some did that doesn't mean that every one of them did it cause the west dragged them to do it, maybe take time to read about the feminist movement in Asia, they did more to Asian women than the west ever did, its honestly so disheartening to see such wild disregard and gross generalization with zero support be made just causally in this thread.

so many fanservice games were made for a specific audience, the otakus

and as I said before the same thing goes for comics that are made for nerds, which is why misogyny and fanservicey designs are common there, yet I would never see gross generalization like " the west doesn't understand that this kind of design is wrong"

fucking hell the most misogynistic game I have played was GTA5, in which women were mocked and slut shamed constantly, and that games is one, if not THE most popular games in the west.

why can't this thread critique games without talking down to 3 billion people, it's not hard to talk about a dev or a studio and holding them accountable by themselves.

hell I'm going to do it, damn I hate XC2 designs, they're oversexualized and do not fit the character's personality at all, made me not want to buy the game, Nintendo should not allow these kind of designs in their games again.

So what basically Last Week Tonight, The Daily Show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Late Night with Seth Meyers and etc. does by pointing out how society is constantly being screwed over, mostly by the rich, with the main difference here being that Cody actually takes the argument to the end point and actually say the thing those other shows either can't or wont, "capitalism is fucking us, and we need to get rid of it with socialism."

Socialism is absolutely not immune to being taken over by greedy sociopaths, but unlike capitalism it doesn't actively breed and favor those kinds of people. The system that will work for the society need people that will care about that society, not themselves, their sponsors, families and party members, but everyone.

Quote from: HomokHarcos, post: 59219870, member: 45809
I’ll be honest, I’m not very good at video games. So yesterday I was playing Like a Dragon, and in one section I spent around an hour getting through a building only to die and have to start over. So I feel like I just wasted an hour playing. Several times I start a game and can’t get past s certain part. It’s caused me a lot of frustration. What I like about watching a movie is that, whether I like it or not I know I’ll be able to see the whole thing, and I won’t get stuck at a certain part and have to go back. I used sunk cost fallacy to justify still playing video games, but I think I’m finally ready to give them up.

All the "billionaires shouldn't exist/should be thrown in prison/etc." and "socialist revolution now is the only solution!" posts make me think of when we were supposed to be mad at the the 1% as their own special class. Now ResetERA.com can only get it up for the Top 700 people or so in the world. (The Top 0.00001%.)

I say anyone making a hundred thousand dollars (aka the top 10%) shouldn't exist and is a ghoul stepping on the other 90%! Seize all global assets and give them to a single owner to profit from! He who does not work shall not eat!

Name one socialist country that hasn't been taken over by greedy sociopaths that enriched themselves and their families and turned the country into an authoritarian nightmare...go on, I'll wait.

Name one capitalist country that hasn't been taken over by greedy sociopaths that enriched themselves and their families and turned the country into an authoritarian nightmare...go on, I'll wait.
That's kind of the point of capitalism though. Enriching yourself and your family.

The very DNA of Harry Potter encourages and/or promotes a lot of this rhetoric
:brain

I thought that part where Hermione gives a 20 page monologue about the values of biological sex was weird
Ron Weasley's diatribe on skull shapes and IQ was rather crucial to moving the plot along though I thought.

That'll also be a good example of their lack of solutions except bans when they go and ban the guy. Other posters complained about his post, he had a dialogue with them, now he understands why they complained and edited his post accordingly. Problem solved.

But the mods will roll in on the back of the reports and need to feel the need to do something more and will ban him. (Especially with Weltall Zero calling attention to his history of history.) And probably edit the rape stuff back into his post.

Prove me wrong! :teehee

Well, they didn't edit the rape stuff back in, so I got that part wrong but:

Quote from: kaebie
Find a way to talk about JRPGs without unearned western exceptionalism 🙄

Quote from: Slatsunus
Never going to happen, its a mainstay of the thread. The west "dragging" Japan in a more progressive direction is such aa ludicrously xenophobic take that's just allowed for some reason

Quote from: kaebie
Quote from: Famassu
It's less "west dragging Japan in a more progressive direction" and more "big Japanese publishers want their biggest games to have worldwide mass appeal + current trends outside Japan lean towards a more inclusive, sensitive way of depicting different demographics while Japan is behind when it comes to stuff like gender equality & minority representation -> some publishers have started taking pointers from outside Japan on how to handle these things".

yeah no I've been here since the beginning and this OT has had a racism problem since day 1. Justifications like this trying to pretty it up pretending it's all constructive doesn't help. There's rarely been a discussion in these topics that actually necessitated even mentioning a game/dev is Japanese in order to highlight issues with character designs and/or gameplay. If you're not Japanese it's not your place to talk about what needs fixing with the culture, end of. The Asian meeting report happened less than 1 year ago, and nothing changed in response. Someone asked a broad neutral question recently "are things in games getting better or worse?" and was met immediately with west good Japan bad.

if you lot still aren't getting it, here's a sample of sweeping generalisations and Asians are backwards rhetoric from only the last month or so

Quote
I think what you're missing is that it was always like this, and continues to become worse because doubling down on bullshit tends to be the response when Japan is met with progressive ideas.
Quote
Everybody loved her design except Japan. They complaint about her looking too old and called her an "auntie" and "hag". I'm not a fan of the remake in general, but this goes to show how rotten Japan is when it comes to female characters..

I had a whole response about how different JP discussion of that Aerith photoshop actually was versus how it was framed by those that spread it into EN fandom via clickbait youtube videos. It was one guy on twitter who got ratio'd by people mostly dunking on him saying she looks great and he's crazy. But one dude = all Japan now

Quote
At this point, if its from the east chances are I could bet $100 on something problematic in a game and i'd be safe nearly every time. ( I dont like to generalize... but i'd love to be proven wrong for the majority of games coming from Japan.)

"the east" ........

Quote
Why do you always have to be like this Japan?
Quote
I hate to say this but that is most likely the truth about character design in japan. They probably don't see it as wrong and will likely not change.
Quote
Regarding Japanese games, I’m terrified by the thought that they don’t even understand how that kind of design is wrong

in a year when anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes are rising everywhere, coming to a thread that's supposed to be welcoming and still having to see dehumanising shit like this makes me sick. and I say all this knowing I'll also be met with dismissal over it.

Quote from: Trucy Wright
I agree with kaebie many times as I read the thread, I felt uncomfortable due to the causal anti - Asian sentiments, in other words passive racism disguised as "game critiques", from calling a whole country or even Asia as a whole "backwards" to making it seem like the west is what drives feminism there.

"b-but but some Asian devs take notes from the west and western devs lean to inclusivity!" yeah that's just an assumption, and even if some did that doesn't mean that every one of them did it cause the west dragged them to do it, maybe take time to read about the feminist movement in Asia, they did more to Asian women than the west ever did, its honestly so disheartening to see such wild disregard and gross generalization with zero support be made just causally in this thread.

so many fanservice games were made for a specific audience, the otakus

and as I said before the same thing goes for comics that are made for nerds, which is why misogyny and fanservicey designs are common there, yet I would never see gross generalization like " the west doesn't understand that this kind of design is wrong"

fucking hell the most misogynistic game I have played was GTA5, in which women were mocked and slut shamed constantly, and that games is one, if not THE most popular games in the west.

why can't this thread critique games without talking down to 3 billion people, it's not hard to talk about a dev or a studio and holding them accountable by themselves.

hell I'm going to do it, damn I hate XC2 designs, they're oversexualized and do not fit the character's personality at all, made me not want to buy the game, Nintendo should not allow these kind of designs in their games again.

:kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit :kermit

I could have swore Kaebie was in the same realm as Morrigan and a bunch of other anti-sexualization absolutists in that thread.  Seems the veiled racism made her do a 180, at least partially.

Would still love to see someone bring up Vtubers in there and how they invalidate basically every argument in the OP.

i thought that's why they moved into hating on the .0001% instead - you don't have to think globally when you compare yourself to bill gates, because we're all dirt poor peasants next to him

if 1% were the cutoff they'd all be way at the bottom of the progressive stack and they might have to Sit Down And Listen to that non US/EU guy who accidentally wandered in and created an account on ree.
