Isn’t the reason there’s a lack of black characters is because Smash is mostly based on Japanese franchises? Not exactly paragons of diversity.

It is vile to you that people would call out genocide?

This entire post is ridiculous. I almost can't believe people are seriously engaging with this.

Its so silly that Samoyed thinks he understands shit when his china experience consists of a visit from 4 years ago and holiday greetings from his relatives lmao. oh and a couple years of living there as a westerner.

Imagine caping for this shit.

The fact that people are willing to stan for a government that does this...vile, just vile

And with the dogs-a-piling, what I suspect will be samoyeds last post before running off to the socialism thread complaining about 'neoliberals' and 'imperilaists' is... a fucking "I'm not gonna play oppression olympics because I will win!" card

So, according to ResetERA, Sakurai is racist, sexist, and mocks the civil rights movement. If they really believed this bullshit, then Sakurai and Smash would be banned topics on ERA right now. They would be mounting a digital lynch mob on Nintendo to get Sakurai fired.

[ShutUp]

If they added a black character, the amount of threads whining about the gameplay videos showing a yt character beating up the sole black character would be as rampant as all the Trump threads. Clearly everyone playing the game was just sharing videos because they are racist and are getting a kick out of beating the black character!

Just when I thought that site couldn’t embarrass themselves any further, they go ahead and do just that. Trying to force their American centric views on a Japanese man as they say “fuck America” out of the other side of their mouths.

Fictional Gamergate Series In The Works From Mind Riot Entertainment & Video Games Developer Brianna Wu

EXCLUSIVE: Mind Riot Entertainment will work with journalist, game developer and computer programmer Brianna Wu for Gamergate, a series about her experience as a critic and target of the notorious 2014 online harassment campaign, for which the studio has optioned life rights.

The 2014 Gamergate online campaign ignited a firestorm for its targeting of women in the gaming industry which laid the foundation for current issues of disinformation and hate. Before QAnon, Covid-19 conspiracists and the January 6th insurrection, there was Gamergate. Wu was among the targeted women, which also included Zoë Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.

The series will explore the origins of the widespread intimidation campaign from the perspective of multiple, fictional people in the game industry – from executives to journalists and indie developers.

Gamergate is co-created and co-written by Wu and J. Brad Wilke (Camel Spiders), and will be produced by Mind Riot Entertainment’s Jonathan Keasey (Parallel) and Jeremy J. Dodd (One Nation Under Earl).

In 2014, the personal attacks force Wu and her husband to flee their Boston home in the wake of online death threats as a result of her efforts to support female game developers, journalists, and players targeted online by violent and sexist attacks via social media and message boards.

In the aftermath, Wu ran for congress in 2018, representing women in tech. Wu has shared her story in a number of publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Guardian. Her experience along, with those of other Gamergate targets, have been addressed in a number of television and film projects including the 2015 documentary GTFO and the “Intimidation Game” episode of Law & Order: SVU.

“We’re not going to retread the same story told in thousands of news stories from outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post, plus multiple documentaries like GTFO. Our series will focus on new, fictional people within the industry reacting to a horrific situation. By explaining how they were unable to stop the video game industry from being hijacked by the lunatic fringe – we can show how the tactics of Gamergate were the same ones that led to tragedies like Christchurch and January 6th,” said Wu.

Keasey added: “Working with Brianna is a huge score for us. Based in Seattle, one of the country’s meccas for gaming, we’ve been wanting to shed light on this subject matter for a while and are honored that Brianna will be co-writing the series alongside Brad.”

[Potato]

I'm willing to place a very large bet that this project never gets off the ground and will be released as a YouTube grift.

The same J Brad Wilke that came up with Piranhaconda? Should be a masterpiece.

This is what's so fascinating to me about Era and other spaces like it.  They seem to be absurdly out of touch with the greater gaming community on so many things.

I've been watching reaction videos all day from a lot of Smash players I follow, a very large chunk of which are black.  Not a SINGLE one has commented on the lack of diversity in the roster.  It's either hype, indifference, or disgust that it was "another anime swordsman" instead of Master Chief or Crash.  Even people I'd expect to have the Neoxon stance like Kola hasn't said anything about it.

Even when I bring this up to Smash players I know of all races, it's never anything more than "yeah, a black character would be neat".  It just doesn't seem to be something people prioritize at all no matter what your background is.

It’s not like there are a lot of Black main characters in Japanese video games. I think most people understand that and it’s not some sinister plan by Sakurai or Nintendo.

User Banned (1 Week): Inappropriate speculation in a sensitive thread

My best guess is because Emily Ratajkowski is a super right-wing Trumper.

But that is still not a good reason to post something like what that (now banned) person posted.

Sexual assault can happen to anyone regardless of political views, and using that as an excuse to make fun of them is beyond disgusting.

I haven't played smash since the N64 but am I crazy for thinking that they probably should have a black character by now?

I totally buy that it started as a "cultural blindspot" but if you continue to ignore it while releasing 90 fucking characters at some point it becomes wilful obstinance.

 

[Taco Bell Tower]

Just saw Free Guy after reading a bunch of positive opinions on the movie and seeing how it soared the box office skies in the middle of a pandemic. Cool, I thought, trailer didn't look like anything special but Reynolds is usually alright, how bad can it be?

Well, as someone who considers himself a gaming enthusiast since early days and fully understands the potential of the medium... I felt almost provoked by this? Like it was actively missing the point of games and gaming culture as a whole? It felt like whoever wrote it saw a bunch of Fortnite and GTAV parties over kids' shoulders and thought there, nailed it! Wait, how do you pronounce n00b? And what's an NPC?

Movie has no clear aesthetic, instead designers threw in whatever would I guess feel cool in the eyes of these fictional whale kids who spend money on fast in-game cars and gansta skins and gunz. The color palette is literally the whole spectrum at times (but not in a Speed Racer sorta way) and the in-movie game world itself is a terrible amalgam of every game cliche most gamers (Players? Game enthusiasts? Hobbyists?) just don't want in their actual games. A buggy unplayable mess.

Like the movie itself: unfunny, barely watchable, representation of games and gaming from early 2000s, or before.

There is a moment in the movie when we, unsurprisingly, realize that Tatum's ubercool character is a schmuck nobody irl, living in mom's basement surrounded by chips, pop vinyls and general trash.

- miis who can be anyone you want to create, not just yourself but morgan freeman or will smith or anybody

- ganondorf has never been designated a real world ethnicity but is almost certainly middle eastern poc (they had to patch out actual muslim chants from ocarina of time)

- several inkling skins which are obviously black no matter how much era doesn't think that counts

- several villager skins which are obviously black

- a black minecraft steve skin

- a darker-skinned pokemon trainer skin


if you want to play as a black person in smash it's unarguable that you can


this isn't even including ridiculous stretches like saying well technically game and watch is black

also keep in mind only 50 or so of the characters are vaguely human, and that's being very charitable and including mega man who is a robot and olimar who is a strange blob man thing

Unfortunately, Steve is ambiguously dark skinned according to his shithead creator. That said, has Amiibo is kinda on the pill side, albeit not as bad as his more recent iterations.

Yup. Before I got married and still had my own place, it was not uncommon to find me sitting on a recliner surrounded by an inch of food wrappers playing Destiny raids for 12 hours straight whilst balancing two makeshift ashtray overflowing beer cans literally *packed* full of cigarette butts on the arms.

I had a convenience store literally dead opposite my flat, so those were the glory days. Easy access to everything I needed and the ability to cocoon myself with vidya for long stretches of time. Of course, every time the future wife came around, I'd have to spend 5 hours straight cleaning the area  - but I didn't really use any other rooms in my place, so it was an easy fix

Now, I am not saying that to say trans women aren't women, I am just saying that those pussies that they got… you know what I mean? I'm not saying it's not pussy, but it's Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. It tastes like pussy, but that's not quite what it is, is it? That's not blood. That's beet juice."

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive commentary around concerns of transphobia in a sensitive thread

Did you finish the show?

Banned for asking a legit question- Dave ends that special with a story about how he asked a trans woman to do an opening act for him and the stuff that followed, including her getting harassed by the community and her ultimately killing herself.  He then set up a trust fund for her daughter.  But let's not worry about that and hand out the bans! 


This is from one of the articles about the special that they're using to fuel their e-rage:



Completely skips over the entire trans comedian part and takes things he said out of context.
