More and more “authoritarian” just seems like a way to describe a system of government that isn’t a liberal democracy.

"authoritarian is a bad phrase only used by people who want to safely hate china"

How is the United States not an authoritarian government with the world’s highest incarceration rate, countless examples of exporting violence worldwide, and a violent and repressive police state?

"authoritarian is a good phrase and we should wield it against the united states (a country where I can comfortably say these things without fear of getting disappeared)"

Era is a bunch of people desperately wanting to be oppressed despite living in a country where they are free to protest or shit on the government online as much as they want to and do so from expensive laptops or tablets. They would have absolutely no clue what the hell to do if they were actually living somewhere that would immediately throw them in prison for criticisms of the government or maybe even just skip prison and execute them. None of them realize how good they truly do have it.

the problem is that the west's perceived issues, which are largely only issues because the west is so comfortable that they have time to ponder such minutiae online, are criticized by both era and the propaganda machine of repressive regimes

and the repressive regimes' strengths, which are only strengths from a distance when you're not actually living there, are praised by both era and the propaganda machine of repressive regimes

ultimately if era represents the voice of the modern left, you're only gonna hear good things about bad places, because the regimes are all too happy to add their voice to the chorus

That's what gets me.  For a long time, the standard response was "we don't want to take away your titty games, we just don't want them everywhere".  A very reasonable sentiment and one even I'd agree with at times purely because it can get redundant.  That has since transformed into "this just shouldn't exist period because rape culture!"

But whatever, they're screaming into the void at this point.  AAA western studios may be moving away from it, but they hold no power over a Korean one that are probably getting more praise than derision from the target audience.  If Project Eve is a good game, it starring scantily dressed titty lady isn't going to be a talking point that gets back to them.

User Banned (1 Month): Sexism, downplaying concerns of sexual objectification

Unpopular opinion, but the fan service backlash the last few years is really uncomfortable to read from both sides of the table.

I’m all for eliminating gender discrepancies and the sexualization of minors, but it feels like people are trying to hard to sanitize what kids watch because we’re adults now. We were minors once, we watched sexy anime with a majority male protagonists…would we better people if we had equality? Absolutely. But would we be better people if the fan service was sanitized? Maybe but that sounds horrible to me.

And what the fuck would I have drawn in the margins of my notebooks in high school if not Sailor Moon wearing only a Siouxie and the Banshees shirt…

All they have left to bitch about is the occasional exposed skin of a female character in a western game (which totally doesn't make them ultra conservative, sex negative prudes, they swear!) and obscure games from Asia that have niche audiences. They are scraping at the bottom of the barrel to justify that thread's existence and their righteous anger at all the "sexism" in video games.

How are they any different from the those crazy, obnoxious ultra conservative people that see a woman in a bikini as "sinful" and who think all porn needs to be banned for "moral" reasons?

I don't disagree with your categorization of them, but as far as them "winning", it's kind of a mixed bag.  Gamergate came and went, elevating people like Anita to the level of adviser for some high profile games, but it feels like the effects are really only felt at the highest level and the journalist arm (certainly not the office culture all things considered).  The internet as a whole is still REALLY horny, arguably more than ever before.  Artists, content creators, and (completely defying a ton of discourse around the "male gaze") female-dominated fields like vtubers.  It's not changing anytime soon either.  When it comes to talking about games, Era is an island alongside the outlets that cater to them. 

And then there's the places where this kind of criticism is ignored (some indie devs like Huniepot) or doesn't reach at all (the non-western world).  With massive success stories like Genshin Impact (and region-specific stuff like Crossfire), I can see China becoming a major contender over the next decade in gaming, and they don't give a shit about this puritanical nonsense.  Add that on to the growing presence of Korean developers and the already prominent Japanese ones completely dominating the mobile scene with horny shit and I don't expect any of this to go away.

Like yeah, it sucks we won't see Kratos being a deranged lunatic anymore where he fucks a bunch of women then kills them horribly to solve a switch puzzle, but that's just how things go.  I don't know, maybe it's less noticeable for me since western games were rarely my thing in the first place outside of a select few.  My "things were better in my day" war has mostly been centered around gameplay rather than lack of sexy.

I mean, Senran Kagura is now relegated to Neptunia tier games because Sony got uppity about lewd games (as long they are not made in Japan, as it looks like with that EvE game). So yeah, they truly screwed some people over, mainly Japanese developers.

Research finds Chinese influence group trying to mobilize US COVID-19 protests

A wide-ranging pro-China influence group is attempting to use social media platforms and other forums to mobilize physical protests around COVID-19 concerns in the United States, research released Wednesday found.

Cybersecurity group Mandiant Threat Intelligence found evidence that the pro-China group behind the protest efforts, first discovered in 2019, has expanded from using traditional social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to being found on 30 social media sites and 40 other websites and forums.

While Mandiant noted that no successful protests have been seen as a result of the efforts of the group’s call for physical protests, the group’s efforts have increased, with Mandiant finding evidence of the group posting in at least seven languages across the sites to get their messaging out.

“We have observed extensive promotion of Russian, German, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese-language content on U.S. and non-U.S.-based platforms, in addition to the typical English and Chinese-language activity that has been widely reported on,” the Mandiant researchers wrote in the blog post detailing their findings. “This represents a significant development in our collective understanding of this pro-PRC [People's Republic of China] activity set.”

Posts discovered by Mandiant researchers linked to the influence operations include those in multiple languages attempting to cast doubt on the origins of the COVID-19 virus, with several posts in multiple languages claiming it originated in the United States instead of China. Other posts prompted Asian Americans to protest U.S. racial injustice.

This new "woke trend" about having every character be the exact same as the people writing it, or acting it, or voicing it needs to die!!

As I said before, the very day that we see yellow people voicing the Simpsons, green people voicing Gamora or a rabbit voicing Bugs bunny, I will affect that trend.

Never would have thought that Sony would essentially become Nintendo in the early-mid 90s and Nintendo would allow for just about anything on their console, but here we are. 

Regarding Senran, I would argue that the game quality going downhill and bomba releases like Kandagawa Jet Girls are what led to the decline with those games.  The studio head and main producer leaving to go work at Cygames, too.

The producer outright said that the series was maimed by Sony, he was already out of Marvelous when the Jet Girls game was in development (And the game was designed as the new Sony policies were in place).

Oh, there were definitely casualties.  I've heard second hand stories from people at the site I used to write for about Sony's treatment of smaller Japanese and VN devs.  But people are adapting.  Sony isn't as important as it used to be for Japan, and both Nintendo and Steam have benefitted.  We're probably never getting Senran Kagura back, but other things will take its place.

Never would have thought that Sony would essentially become Nintendo in the early-mid 90s and Nintendo would allow for just about anything on their console, but here we are. 

Regarding Senran, I would argue that the game quality going downhill and bomba releases like Kandagawa Jet Girls are what led to the decline with those games.  The studio head and main producer leaving to go work at Cygames, too.

The producer outright said that the series was maimed by Sony, he was already out of Marvelous when the Jet Girls game was in development (And the game was designed as the new Sony policies were in place).

The thing is- the only thing that was "maimed" by Sony was forcing them to remove touching characters in the dress-up room modes.    Otherwise, it was full-tiddy.  Maybe releasing an actual new Senran action game and not shitty watergun side games, with broken online, and a "remake" of the first game that was just an asset-reuse of the previous game, might have helped.  And then the only things they released on the Switch were a VN game, with scummy DLC content pricing, and a pinball game.



Kandagawa Jet Girls was still a Takaki game.  His own studio, Honey Parade Games, developed it.

Her individually defined buttocks are part of her character.

Do you have a problem with female anatomy or what?

And him.

Everything needs to be mom approved, or it's shameful apparently.

The death of Senran Kagura is fucking criminal. It's the only way that screeching frumps have negatively affected me directly, and I do not appreciate it.

Shift Up are fucking great. I play Destiny Child on mobile and the designs in that game would give the Witches of Reeestwick palpitations. Definitely keeping an eye on Project Eve, and looking forward to the game being banned on Reee before October.

This is a really good point though. I still bought all the games, but yeah they really should've released a proper brawler on Switch, or at least a port of Estival Versus.

Now they're shifting to "how dare Sony present this at an event"

Guys I'm winning bingo too many times. Stahp.

Seriously, we're getting to the "Violence is worse" part of the discussion which is proven multiple times to not be a thing (In multiple fucking studies) but sexualising women does have a negative fucking effect and is proven unlike fake ass violence 

Got the gut feeling someone is misinterpreting some studies.

Also, “WE ARE NOT TAKING YOUR GAMES”.

I cannot believe this is a real post on Era. Please tell me this was a joke.

This is a real post I can't anymore.

Is this the shittiest post this year from gaming or was that comment of Cammy's ass being a part of her character from this year too.

Looks great aside from the incredibly bad sexualization.

How this gets a pass is beyond me. I'm not even trying to be an activist or anything, but I don't feel comfortable watching this trailer, let alone play the game no matter how great it is. Fucking 14 year old face with continuous ass shots and giant tits wiggling. I do not understand why these games feature characters whose main trait from trailers is to get dicks hard.

Aloy looks hot, and I mean she is absolutely stunning. This is a conscious decision from the developers.

Disgusting.

I really don't think anything 'sjw' had anything to do with this.  The quality of these games just took a nosedive after Estival Versus.

. The thing is- the only thing that was "maimed" by Sony was forcing them to remove touching characters in the dress-up room modes. 

I seriously doubt it was just that given that Sony has proven that they liked to bully Japanese developers, do you think they were not already asking for changes in the games?

Also, you are talking about the remake like it was not a improvement having HD assets over 3Ds stuff.

But Estival Versus is the last ‘main game’ (Well, it was claimed the main games were the 3DS ones but is kind of BS). The others were spin offs.

Why do you keep denying the truth, Bork?

I don't think I can look past the character design for Project Eve. Gonna have to be a skip for me.

It says something that I can tolerate some pretty out there Anime designs Yet Project Eve feels like a step to Far.

Edit: Many steps to far the more I think about Project Eve the more upset I get. I can not visit the thread about it for my own sanity.

This person sounds dangerous and should probably have their social interactions monitored.

Trust, nobody on Ree gives a fuck what actual women think about this stuff. They've already decided and don't need women to mess shit up with their silly divergent opinions and their reckless refusal to fall in line.

I actually really enjoyed Pinball, and thought Peach Beach Splash was alright, but they weren't substitutes for the real stuff. I did hear that Sony had applied some pressure, but as you say, I think that just resulted in changes to the dressing room stuff (which is probably still in there hidden behind an awkward button combo if the Switch games are anything to go by).

No, that was it.  Nothing else got removed.  You can compare the content to the previous games and to the 'uncensored' Steam versions to see this.  Same bouncy tits, same lewd outfits and camera shots, all that other stuff was there. 

Also, you are talking about the remake like it was not a improvement having HD assets over 3Ds stuff. 

Over 3DS, sure- but if you look at what ReNewal is, it's Estival Versus with less content.  Same stages, same characters (only less of them), same moves (ditto), same everything except for story.  It could have been DLC for EV and nobody would have noticed.

But Estival Versus is the last ‘main game’ (Well, it was claimed the main games were the 3DS ones but is kind of BS). The others were spin offs.

Why do you keep denying the truth, Bork?

Senran 2 on 3DS was good.  Estival Versus was good.  The latter came out in 2015.  They had plenty of time to make a new 'main game' before anything changed with Sony and it never happened.  Instead we got shitty spin-offs and asset flips.  I don't know what the hell happened- other stuff from them, like Uppers, also were letdowns.  And then Uppers itself was a failure in that it only came out on the Vita in Japan and took years to come out in English, with the PS4 version finally getting canceled before the super-late Steam port came out.

Takaki let me down.  I used to stan for Senran but just can't anymore.  :'(

Why shouldn’t it be?
It’s a discussion forum.
Should the strong female lead have no buttocks?
Or should she cover it up?
