Man, those Zack snider's threads are peak era toxicity. They really hate the dude for making competing superhero movies.

And for being white I guess

Insanely privileged white man makes two dogshit terrible movies, doesn't finish a third, then years later gets another $70-100 million to finish the third and results in a mediocre movie which is technically a marked improvement over his usual dogshit is not much of a feel-good story. If it brought him some peace or closure regarding the reason he had to leave the project originally, I'm glad of that, but all that money could have been used to further more diverse stories from more marginalized directors. Zack Snyder continuing to fail up spectacularly is not a thing I feel like celebrating.

I was harassed by racists based on being an Asian-American. When I went public with this after over a year (naming people I suspected)

Well, that's one way to describe shilling the epic game store hard, trolling PC gamers, then getting rando twitter users calling you a stupid cunt then naming rando era Pc gamers as being secretly behind it I guess.

A fucking stupid way of describing it, admittedly, but a way nonetheless.

Kind of fucked up of him to compare his "plight" with the actual hate crimes that are going on.

I mean, I think he is a shitty director that didn’t deserve get a third chance with DC characters, but if his Justice League is actually decent, good for him and his fans. RE toxicity is kind of insane. Curious to see the film.

I've never been to Japan, but I'm fairly confident that there isn't a ton of darker skinned folks living there. I'm also assuming that most of the player base they have overseas are Asian, they don't want to alienate their initial audience by giving them a protag/character that they can't look at and say "wow this character looks like me!".

wow these characters look just like those Asian people, no wonder it's so successful

Neither the Sheikah or Gerudo are Black coded. Gerudo are generic brown dessert folks with a mish mash of ME and Asian characteristics as inspirations (weaponry, clothes etc). Sheikah are basically ninjas and their village in BotW had Japanese inspirations.

Dark skin is not automatically Black. Claude is another character that's ME inspired.

Yes, please beware of "trap" black characters that are in reality meant to be nothing but more dirty Asians. Thank you for teaching me with this very not-racist thread.

BDubs, you're next bitch!

McCammond apologized for the tweets before, when they surfaced in 2019 while still employed at Axios. The tweets resurfaced again over the weekend after Condé Nast announced her hiring on Friday. On Monday, a group of more than 20 Teen Vogue staff members sent a letter to management expressing concerns about McCammond's past tweets.

Welcome to the future, kidos

Aaand she's gone

https://twitter.com/alexi/status/1372603793825751040

Seems excessive over tweets that are a decade old and something she apologized for twice but I guess that's "consequence culture"

Apologizing is the dumbest thing you can do and brings you right in the crosshair as an easy target for cancelling.
You're admitting to the crime that the mob made up in their heads. Remember, the only way to beat cancel culture is to not apologize and double down or simply ignore whatever it is you're accused of.

The people that try to cancel you often don't have money to take any legal steps, which is why they resort to cancel tactics.
Hold the line and double down, always.

[paprikastaude]

I've got a question for Neoxon and other POC seeing this thread. What's your opinion on color altering mods? I was just thinking, I came across this nice fan made BLM Mythra Mod

twitter.com/VGIII/status/1372578548574167044

Now, imagine if a basic color edit mode was added to Smash and this was shareable like other content. If people made stuff like this not only would it satisfy a lot of the demand for aesthetic mods but I think it could serve the purpose of getting the message out there to Sakurai/Nintendo that people want more characters or at least alts that look like them.

I'm not saying this would be some miraculous cure that would fix everything. Absolutely not. But you know, it could be a least a tiny baby step in the right direction. Or is this just dumb ignorance on my part? I apologize if so.

 cultural appropriation?

No, I guess this doesn't apply as problematic when it's US people showing inferior Japanese how to make their art right. Also I guess in this brave incident we now ignore the problem of exposed arteries

Doesn't Smash have a Mii playable character?

No idea, because those games suck. But the last one I played featured mostly cartoon animals with a sprinkle of animu, because it's made by an Asian company that got famous for making cartoon animals. So making this particular thing about portrayals of ethnicity doesn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with. Unless your entire imaginary internet struggle rests upon videogame representation. Especially when Japanese mascot games completely undermine your main argument that people ever cared that deeply about literally seeing themselves in games. Pretty sure people get Smash Bores because they want to play as a fat yellow rat that reminds them of their childhood.

this is literally what bone structure guy was saying before he got got

It’s really hard to describe. But blacks tend to be musclier and have a slightly different bone structure. This happened because of years of slavery, which is why blacks tend to be stronger than whites.

 

It’s most because they’re are too many blacks in media that don’t look black. They look white with a tan. Which is why I take to black characters who look like a black person I would see in real life.

There’s actually a difference a genetic between the body of a black person vs your typical white person. And it isn’t about muscle since I named Doc. He’s anything but musclier, but he has the features of a black man.

I watch anime, I know how they usually draw people, which is how Sailor Moon is Japanese despite how she looked. Stylize blacks wouldn’t bother me that much if we had more characters like Doc. Instead, stylize blacks is mostly what we get and it’s basically take it or leave it.

The issue is, we don’t have many characters who are black like Doc and don’t look like whites with tans. It’s like most creators feel like it’s enough to make a character brown skin and call it a day. So I like something like DoomFist where, exaggerated as it is, they tried to create a black man. Not just a man with dark skin, if you can understand me.

characters who aren't built like black people, they just have a tan

User Banned (1 Month): Insensitive commentary in a thread regarding sexual assault

Help me understand wtf you are talking about?

Trading a player before he gets busted for a heinous crime is some kind of smart move on the behalf of managment?

Deshaun Watson has, for a few months, said that he wanted out of Houston and wouldn't play for the team. The team was reluctant to trade him as he's one of the top 3-5 players at his position. I doubt the team knew about this, but the point is that if they had traded him when he first requested it they would have gotten a lot in exchange.

a month for answering somebody's question

[killamajig]

I studied some anthropology. So since we're talking about skull shapes......

Cranial features are not perfect indicators of ancestry: Forensic anthropologists using multiple features claim at best 85% accuracy in their assessment of racial ancestry. When we know less about the context of a skull, we will be less and less accurate.

Here are some traits that vary between skulls with different race backgrounds. Most of them are on the face or palate.

Shape of the eye orbits, viewed from the front. Africans tend to a more rectangular shape, East Asians more circular, Europeans tend to have an ``aviator glasses'' shape.

Nasal sill: Europeans tend to have a pronounced angulation dividing the nasal floor from the anterior surface of the maxilla; Africans tend to lack a sharp angulation, Asians tend to be intermediate.

Nasal bridge: Africans tend to have an arching, ``Quonset hut'' shape, Europeans tend to have high nasal bones with a peaked angle, Asians tend to have low nasal bones with a slight angulation. 

Nasal aperture: Africans tend to have wide nasal apertures, Europeans narrow.

Subnasal prognathism: Africans tend to have maxillae that project more anteriorly (prognathic) below the nose, Europeans tend to be less projecting.
 
Zygomatic form: Asians tend to have anteriorly projecting cheekbones. The border of the frontal process (lateral to the orbit) faces forward. In Europeans and Africans, these face more laterally and the zygomatic recedes more posteriorly.

There are a number of features of the skull that are more commonly found in males compared with females and these are the indicators used by forensic archaeologists to determine the sex of an individual.
Generally, male skulls are heavier, the bone is thicker and the areas of muscle attachment are more defined than in females. There are also key differences in the appearance of the forehead, eyes and jaw, between men and women that are used to determine the sex of a skull.

Although Resetera would disapprove, skull and skeletal forensics has helped restore women's rightful leadership roles in ancient history. There have been burials from the past that were assumed to be men because they were buried with weapons, armor or other grave goods typical of men. Archaeologist in the past just marked them down as male without making any examination of the skeletal remains to determine sex. Archaeologists today have gone back and reclassified remains as women warriors or leaders that had been previously classified as men.

What the heck happened to the first page?

If I'm understanding right people are getting warned because they didn't answer both of OP's questions? I have been on this forum for a while and people always pick and choose want to respond to.

Yeah they silently un-permabanned someone too, seems like they went a bit overboard.

Yeah, we've had tons of threads where people didn't read the OP at all and it didn't result in bans and mass warnings.

Honestly.. It's one of the weirdest thing I've seen in this forum

Really bizarre stuff going on in the thread.

The modding was so unusual it derailed the whole thread.

Waiting with baited breath for someone to turn 18 to have sex with them is basically the same thing as having sex with a minor

I mean one of those is literally illegal...

I know that feel. I just turned 33. Just casually talking to anyone under 25 makes me feel like I'm doing something illegal.

 

[Nintex]

The age at which any sexual activity happened makes absolutely no difference in the severity of these allegations. Neither does the potential lack of legal consequences. Grooming is grooming, there are power dynamics at play here. Do not make excuses. Any posts that can be construed as being dismissive of the seriousness of this will be actioned.

Yeah, it's pretty gross when a 40-something year-old man is hitting on an 18-20-something.  What a creep. 

But it IS perfectly fine to want to fuck a 54 year-old!

So according to Ree the guy texted her once a month before she turned 18 but didn't fuck until she was 22 makes him a pedo who groomed her?

If he's out there texting 16/17 yr olds for sex then it makes him a creep. So far all I've seen is they texted a month before she was 18, didn't fuck til she was 22.

Ok, I think this is sorta nonsense. There were two questions posed in the thread, one of which was asking about the animation which people generally responded to. As to the other question, the 2016 adaptation is post Eclipse and really deals with the fallout of the event. The OP seems to be asking does the tone of the show/work change and the answer is largely no but 2016 such a bad adaptation on so many other fronts that it's really not worth delving into this particular aspect in regards to this work as 2016 just fails on other basic fundamental levels. The advice of just ignoring 2016 is generally correct because the show is trash.

Given the number of people recommending the source material without addressing the thrust of the OP's issue, and the nature of that issue, a tap on the shoulder was thought to be necessary.

And then there's the one poster talking it up as the best part.

[STAFF]As explained previously, the intention of the warnings was to let people know that there was a concern that the sensitive main topic in the OP wasn't being engaged with. A sort of "tap on the shoulder." After discussing it internally, we've agreed it was applied too broadly, and so the majority of them have now been lifted.[/STAFF]
