They removed the poll but it really got them shook

No went from 15.4 to 15.7%
It is increasing.

Removed the poll and now we can't see how many chumps we got around here

The poll is now removed, but it kind of bothers me there are literally 128 people, at least, on ERA that vote no for this. I think it's disgusting.

And I said it begore: of course we don't here of those people in this thread.

>Implying that perpetual warfare doesn’t benefit both Hamas and Israel scumbag leadership.

The real reason this happened is because Bibi cannot even form a government without the threat of war.

. People REALLY don't want Ramlethal to be black, huh?

Is weird how you guys consider that a person is black just because is the dark skinned clone version of a white character (something that the series lore is not tired of remembering) while bitching about character creators not having more options or stunt dobles “brown face”. 

Is like you guys don’t actually give a shit about those issues and just bitch about it because some twat at twitter or RE starts to bitch about it.

I bet you no one, outside of the dub obsessed, would give a fuck if the past dub actor didn’t mentioned this as her excuse.

[Tripon]

I've already decided most of the characters, in case you're wondering. And here are the criteria...
The character cannot be ambiguously dark-skinned.
This mainly applies to the likes of Elma (Xenoblade), Ramlethal Valentine (Guilty Gear), & Steve (Minecraft).

"Representation matters"

it doesn't really matter how you perceive Ramlethal's skin color because she is not a white person and any POC voicing her is better than having yet another white, well-established actor in the industry voicing a non-white character.

I don't think they should limit it to black VAs alone, just a PoC, especially in ambiguous cases like this.

"Actually who cares about the skin color of the character, just cast a poc"

They're already forgetting that they were also upset that some Japanese dev recently cast a japanese guy for a black character

voting no on an internet poll says less than nothing about the person doing the voting

maybe they fully support the cause but think a brief logo change on a random internet forum where you can already assume the majority of members feel this way is a waste of time

Meanwhile, in the head of the average Resetera user who is not dreadfully online:

"Oh look, another ban bait thread with a poll that will probably be used against me when my history of histories is questioned. I ain't falling for that again like I did the first three times I was permanently banned for questioning why the next Smash character should be an obscure black character from a completely unknown game because it would increase the representation of black characters in a game which features an Italian plumber and his dinosaur horse thing."

Being fair, the Yosuke anime in Netflix got a black Japanese actor to portray the character in the Japanese dub. Probably other factors could make it more difficult for Samurai Warriors (schedule, agency fees, etc) but is not impossible.

Dang, obviously problematic in general for reasons already covered, but on a personal level concerned about how far stretching bans on manga and stuff go. Have a LOT of manga/light novels from various sources I've picked up over the years, and I've been purging things bit by bit.

And like for example, to throw out an example, when I want to get rid of the No Game No Life novels because the gross stuff is too gross for any good points to override, would that be acceptable to sell, or nah?

(But yes, fucked up that this will assuredly hit LGBT content way hard assuredly in the more general sense.)

As I said the OT thread, very disappointed in this site’s slow response to this humanitarian crisis. No stickied OT with vital info. No logo to show support. Nothing.

Is there a good source that explains what’s up with this whole situation with Israel and Palestine? I just don’t really understand what’s going on.

 

Also those gaming outlets are just doing this for clicks the pathetic little clickbait whores that they are

It’s a really tough situation that IMO everyone loses. There is no winner. IMO I think Israel’s heavy handed governing towards Palestinians is completely unjustified and illegal. But also Hamas who is backed by Iran, who would impose an Iranian style Islamic govetnment over Palestine that would limit freedom of speech, women education, burkas- those laws should also be illegal.

The hype for Yosuke is kinda weird to begin with, considering scholars theorise he was Amhara. The Amhara were an Orthodox Christian tribe of slavers from Ethiopia, allied with Portugal.

[Nintex]

People fighting white supremacist governments across Africa were called 'terrorists'. China calls the Yiugur people 'terrorists'. It's a convenient label but it doesn't make murdering children by airstrike okay.

The right doubles down. Always. Admitting fault is worse than dying to COVID.

This, basically. And a tit-for-tat response. This was basically created for revenge, smugness, a feeling of being “right” to mitigate being SO wrong. It’s wild that people can just... create this shit.

yes, this behaviour is exclusive to one political leaning.

Meanwhile in 'the OK sign is now exclusively a nazi salute' / 'I can't be racist, I'm black' and 'let's abolish all police forces'

Despite the reasoning of the anti vaxx people being super dumb.

It is actually a good idea not to run out immediately the day after taking the vaccine and kids probably think they're completely safe after the shot which increases the risk.
Disease experts have repeatedly said it takes about 2 week for the immune system to be fully activated and you should still be cautious during that time because you can still get infected or develop mild (flu-like) symptoms.

So in a way those dumb anti-vaxxers are actually helping

also game journalists: "lol the zelda timeline is so confusing nobody can understand it amirite? now let me explain the geopolitics of the middle east"

[Lonewulfeus]

There’s a difference between a personal email and a publicly available address.  I don’t know why they’d need to include the address outside of giving people a place to protest (not that anyone is gonna physically protest the removal of donation links on a video game website).  Stupid to do but hardly doxxing

[Nintex]

Looking at the 'response' of these IGN 'writers' on Twitter it is pretty easy to explain why it was taken down.
This is a simple case of the legal team spitting out their drinks seeing this and the editorial staff not realizing that the website of their employer is not their personal activism blog.

Of course the 'owners' are evil for making a perfectly sensible business decision of not turning IGN into a free for all political screech blog over a conflict that existed long before any IGN writer was born.
But if your knowledge of history begins with John Oliver's HBO show and ends with Black Panther these mistakes are easily made.
