I feel that I start to see a pattern with Neoxon love/hate relationship with creators and stuff he likes.

I kind of love how they went with "238% sales spike of Last of us remake after show release!" Like what does that actually mean? That instead of ten copies they sold 25?

Honestly I'm a little tired of these companies engaging the right like this...the right complain about everything no matter how innocuous and "playing along" like this seems to be just reinforces their audience's notion (who are presumably believing it and aremt grifting like the hosts) that they're under attack.

I would just ignore them.

Just out from #6 and there isn't much to say that hasn't been said before, other than this just doesn't get old for me. Especially from the moment we see Payakan stuck with the tracker, but even the full length prior to that I'm always soaking it in like it's fresh. Smaller screen than the others, but still felt as big in scale. If it gets the premium screen back I'll definitely be going at least one more time. I feel like Jake and Neytiri hooking up to the tree of souls to see Neteyam again; I can't let go.

She's a piece of shit, she's created an empire that is making her richer by selling a bunch of trash in the worst possible way and she clearly doesn't give a single shit about her legacy in this whole trash filled world.
I'm having trouble expressing how much of a trash pile she is, was and always was.

Like she could never manage to pretend to care about anything beyond her own little self.
Oof, admitting they were going to let Joanne influence their kids into fascism before Joanne was revealed by a YouTube video as profiting from capitalism.

Before his Male Feminist house of cards collapsed criticism against Whedon for the same type of thing was often claimed to being just sexism or whatever from bigots by the right side of history as well.

Recent example is a commercial for Shazam 2. Guy throws a bus at a monster, says “I just threw a bus at a friggin monster!” People shit on it so hard the director came out and said it’s not in the finished movie.

Or just earlier today, this movie trailer

Tons of the "bad" dialogue in this game would be fine to people coming out of the mouth of a white, male character.

You clearly must have missed the uproar around DmC then. This is by far not the only game to be singled out because people find its writing and dialogue grating and annoying.


Quote from: PsychoNinja
Maybe he did as that game is a decade old.

Probably referring to, current games like Uncharted 4, Guardians, God of War, Spider Man. Games that released in the last few years.

Uncharted was always shitted on because the Whedonesque dialogue, I don’t remember current God of War having Kratos doing one liners non stop, and people expect this kind of annoying one liners from Spider Man (that is something he is famous for).

Quote from: SomeSecondAccountWithHades2avatar
They are referring to people outside critics when they say the game is getting dogpiled too harshly. It doesn't absolve it from criticism, but when any personality can put up a 10 second clip with the prompt "can you believe the cringe dialogue in this game", and it's just a harmless quip, it does feel a bit try hard. There are conversations about this game going on outside the reviews you watched. You're literally one.

That said, critics can also be guilty of these biases and tell on themselves in their writing with how they talk about black characters. This doesn't necessarily equate a lower score, but where do you think phrases like "exaggerated swagger of a black teen” come from.

But the source of that quote is from a black video game reviewer.  :lol

Anyway, that's fine. You think this isn't unique. We're not going to agree. I been Black long enough to know what it is.

Have they even posted any examples of this supposed racist dogpiling? The meme stuff they threw a fit about earlier was just people, of all political positions, mocking the dialogue and lasted for like a whole day or two on Twitter only among only gamers. This happened with the Final Fantasy game too before the formation of the people who were like "actually, this is awesome" who were the only ones who didn't move on to whatever the next thing was.

Like what do they think is actually the end goal of the racists here, to just keep lying about dialogue they actually find totally fine but don't want a Black woman saying?

Speaking about Sensitive Josh Whedon esque pandering, I don’t think it is bad by default. We had, two years ago, Hades that was as guilty of “racial and queer pandering”, and people loved that game. Yeah, it was not a female POC but the game was riddled with stuff that make alt righters you tube commentators mad (but was little controversy, the most was people complaining about changing the races of mythological characters).

that's what every sensible person has always known

like remembering the period where diverse all-female Ghostbusters was rightfully identified as dogshit and then diverse all-female team of scientists in Annihilation was not criticized for that aspect by anyone, not even the alt rightiest alt righter

(you don't have to think Annihilation was good, just recognize that it disproves the idea that "they'll hate any all-female cast who are portrayed as smart and capable)

I honestly think the hate that Forspoken got at the beginning was genuinely kind of disproportional, even if the dialogue was cringe. (I remember the initial trailer of Last of Us was also kind of cringe)

The Demo was what sealed its fate, and people bending backwards to defend it remind me of FFXV initial demos, so  the criticism became way more valid.

Even with the runaway success of the MCU, I guarantee you that if you surveyed 100 average people and asked them to name 5 superheroes, at least 3 of the top 5 would be DC characters.

If you asked about villains, I would hazard a guess that it would be 4/5.

I didn't fully comprehend this and thought they were complaining about them being white because he said "they still pale" and is Slayven.

Also this is a dumb comparison because DC actually tries to enforce an upper bound on human science and technology (even though it's pretty much always stupid reasoning), something Marvel just pretends wouldn't ever spill out into the non-superhero world not even when Tony Stark is selling it to people. Many of DC's characters in position to drive human advances are explicitly shown to deliberately try to withhold technology from everyone else for their superhero/villain uses with Luthor and Bruce being the most extreme examples, but something Mr. Terrific and Oliver Queen also explicitly do for various reasons and others like Superman also take pains to do. DC often even covers their backside by having every experiment (or lone genius like the second Toyman) tracing itself back to Lexcorp, Wayne Enterprises, etc. Ultimate Marvel did very similar stuff but the mainstream Marvel has never cared about this. Don't get me wrong I like Marvel (and even love many specific Marvel things) but my preference for DC (and Ultimate) is because I've always found it hard to get past how everything in Marvel Comics has zero effect on the rest of the world that just continues on as it does in our reality. DC's incessant need for "reboots" isn't just a desire for Crisis level events, it's because they often try to level everything including powers back down so the world need not change too much.

Literacy doesn't have to be hard I contend.

Just a whole lot of  :spiders in those comments. “Well yeah I’m a hypocrite BUT” so the friend is correct then? Cool, now shut the fuck up

I'm totally fine with people taking up some causes and not others. People have finite time and energy to dedicate to causes. That's not in and of itself hypocritical.

But where RE goes wrong is then judging other people for not taking up THIS SPECIFIC CAUSE and calls them garbage humans for it. Their rule then becomes "If there's a cause you don't support, you're a bad person." That's where their friend's point changes from being a whataboutism to being an accurate point to show their hypocrisy. 99% of the "whataboutism" claims are just pointing out that a rule [e.g. you're bad if you don't support a cause] is unworkable. They're never saying you can't pick your battles. They're just saying you can't be a dickwad because someone isn't fighting in the same exact battles you chose.

These people have no idea what real whataboutisms are.

Probing your rules with lots of different scenarios and fact cases is how you are supposed to check proposed rules. It's not a whataboutism to point out your freaking stupid rule is flawed because it produces absurd results. That's just basic logic.

Do w know anything about the person holding the decapitate sign?

Cuz it’s some real “Blacks Rule!” energy.

Supposedly it's just some person that no one else knows about, from what I've seen. I don't recall who that came from so I don't really have any kind of source though.

This is healthy, now they are trying to dox a possible trans or LGBQ person who held up a sign they all agree with, because they realize it is bad optics and doesn't help turn people to their cause.

Weird fucker from Kotaku AU who seems to have a massive hate boner for Joanne (TERF bitch) has covered the Reeeeesetera Hogwarts ban.

Prominent online gaming forum ResetEra has banned the discussion of Portkey Games’ upcoming adventure RPG Hogwarts Legacy after internal discussions among the mod team.

The decision was made by forum moderators after an ongoing internal discussion returned to Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s awful views toward transgender people. It seems ResetEra, like a lot of gaming communities around the world, needed an answer to the question of how to cover the game responsibly. Moderator discussions culminated in a message from general manager B-Dubs announcing the policy changes. Under the new rules, the mods are expanding an existing ban on promoting Hogwarts Legacy to include discussions of the game itself.

This is a big move for a forum the size of Resetera, one the site’s management hasn’t made lightly. The upside is that users appear to have taken the news reasonably well. There are no obvious examples of users bombarding other threads in complaint. No spam campaigns rapidly posting new threads on the game to give the mods a hard time. An unexpected result, given the amount of back-and-forth online certainly, but nice to see.

In the meantime, Twitter will, of course, remain the platform of choice for rancid Hogwarts Legacy discussion.

Some more unhinged rubbish from the same idiot:
JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels and one of the world’s most visible transphobes, hasn’t had much to say about Hogwarts Legacy at any time during its production. The game, a sprawling, open-world genre multihyphenate, looks for all the world to be a Harry Potter fan’s dream come true. However, due to Rowling’s decision to publicly state her distaste for transgender women, there has been quite a lot of discussion within fan circles about the ethics of buying the game.

Just out from #6 and there isn't much to say that hasn't been said before, other than this just doesn't get old for me. Especially from the moment we see Payakan stuck with the tracker, but even the full length prior to that I'm always soaking it in like it's fresh. Smaller screen than the others, but still felt as big in scale. If it gets the premium screen back I'll definitely be going at least one more time. I feel like Jake and Neytiri hooking up to the tree of souls to see Neteyam again; I can't let go.

Now imagine if this was something that she was championing against! They’d be banned on the spot for the blatant rubbing their noses in indulging in problematic content, yet here we are, queen Bee doesn’t run by the same rules, can lord it over the normal members because of her elite protected status

In the years leading up to John F. Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, he became obsessed with the movie "Taxi Driver." Hinckley saw the movie at least fifteen times, read and re-read the book it was based upon, and bought the soundtrack to the film, listening to it for hours on end. Hinckley even began to model certain aspects of his life on the actions of the main characters. Most importantly, Hinckley developed an intense obsession with an actress in the film, Jodie Foster.

Quote
In 2016, a federal judge ruled that Hinckley could be released from psychiatric care as he was no longer considered a threat to himself or others, albeit with many conditions. After 2020, a ruling was issued that Hinckley may showcase his artwork, writings, and music publicly under his own name, rather than anonymously as he had in the past. Since then, he has maintained a YouTube channel for his music. His restrictions were unconditionally lifted in June 2022.

There's zero point in playing the respectability game with a side that holds zero respect for you, especially for something as vanilla as a sign at a protest. It doesn't matter about uninvolved people potentially seeing it and thinking trans people are in the wrong for it because they will always be able to frame us in some way that will convince that person that we're wrong for something. Whether it's holding up a sign like that, not adhering to stereotypical female beauty standards, for adhering to them. It doesn't matter. Three trans people held up signs on the street outside a billionaires gated mansion and were harassed and persecuted for it.

According to Kyuuji 3 men turning up outside a woman's house to harass and intimidate her is fine. Signs calling for violence against women is vanilla, and doesn't matter anyway, because the media just frames all trans as dangerous stalkers who use violence and intimidation against women.

Absolute mental case.

The sheer number of posters in the Forspoken threads making implicit and explicit comments that all criticism of the game is racist/sexist/bigoted is amazing. I should be surprised the mods aren’t stepping in on that shit, but… I’m not.
