In 2002, Meilin "Mei" Lee is a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian student prodigy who lives in Toronto. Miriam, Priya and Abby are her best friends and they are all fans of the boy band 4*Town. Ming, Mei's mother constantly expects perfection from her daughter and disapproves of her personal interests. The Lee family spend their days taking care of their Chinese temple.

 :mindblown

what the fuck at leaning in on harmful chinese stereotypes

can't we have a movie where the asian parents don't care about how well their kids do in school, and manage a burger king instead?
:wut

This shit was written by that AI narrative thing, proof:

Quote
Growing up, Wei-Yin knew that she was different from all of her friends. She was Chinese-Canadian, and they all seemed to be white. Wei-Yin was always the outsider, and she was never really sure why. She loved going to Chinese festivals with her family, but she never really felt comfortable in her own skin. One day, Wei-Yin stumbled upon a YouTube video of a boy band called The Five. They were singing a song called "Walking on Sunshine." Wei-Yin was entranced by their energy and their music. She started to look forward to Chinese festivals just so she could see The Five perform. Eventually, Wei-Yin discovered that The Five were coming to her city to perform. She was so excited that she decided to dress up like one of the members of The Five and go to the concert. It was the best night of her life.

Quote
Growing up, Tingting had always felt different than her Chinese-Canadian friends. They would chatter on about their families and traditions, while Tingting was more interested in the pop stars on TV. When she was in middle school, Tingting discovered the world of boy bands. She was hooked on the catchy tunes and the perfect-looking men. It was a world that she felt comfortable in, one that didn't involve a lot of talk about families and traditions.

:cop User Banned (permanent): concern trolling around a war
Quote from: arcadepc
I find it very worrying that they banned Russian media from all platforms for propaganda reasons, while they have no qualms with Saudi Arabian or Turkish media spreading propaganda and participating in military operations and occupation in foreign countries. Not that they'd do the same with Western media or banning Western students during their interventions .

Not only that but Western media , many times intentionally, played down severely the escalation of Far Right in Ukraine, including the Russian backed extremists in the self-proclaimed autonomous regions, to the point of white washing or erasing their crimes or even forgetting past BBC documentaries or other similar documentaries about the tensions predating the Russian invasion, that are buried. Add also the corruption of the Ukranian government and their suppression of minorities. Silly arguments that because one is Jewish it is impossible to be Far Right.

This war basically feels like a civil war between the Protestant-Catholic backed far right and the Orthodox far right, with DNA dating back to Cold War and the Crusades. Notice that West Ukraine are Uniates (Greek Catholics).

This is evident in the Western media wondering how this can happen to Europe, because supposedly Europeans are superior and more civilised compared to Asians, Latin Americans and Africans. All those years they ignored that half of Africa was at war. Add also the racist treatment of foreign non-European students and citizens in Ukraine during evacuation. They add their own propaganda and lies but difference is that Europe and America are not Russia to hinder free speech and journalism.

Similar thing happened in 1999 with Kosovo where NATO acted without UN approval. Same thing with the Coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan, though it failed there because half of Europe was divived including the Muslim world.

But now with social media conglomerates controlling the flow of information and free speech, this is a serious blow to free journalism, especially after the Covid pandemic gave another reason to silence free voices in favour of medical companies and huge deals with governments.

They are investing in fear and timid voices to make it easier to control dissent.

This will make no difference as most Ukranian military infrastructure (over 90% of military airports) was destroyed.

haha, mammoth jones late night tirade turned into him raging about Jussie theoretically having his bologna sandwich peed on.  "it's what they do in prison!"

He think's corrections officers or cops in general HATE THIS MAN.  Jussie is a joke.  He's the punch line for whenever cops get drunk.  Black, white, and gay cops are all laughing at that idiot.  Jussie is just a reference to refer to any lying crackhead, idiot or rich dipshit they have to deal with.  Far from hating J-man, Jussie is a gift of idiocy to be mocked.  Like Royalan.

It's the judge who hates him wasting his and the assembled jurors and stand-by's time.


And suddenly, "talk shit, get hit," isn't so appealing.  He pretends he has principles.

Quote from: Mammoth
He fucked up. This is known. That’s not the issue.

The issue Im expressing is that in holding him accountable for his choices we should not lose sight of the reality that minorities and Black people in particular are treated atrociously in American prisons.

That’s all. I’ve heard the: “Well, don’t commit crimes if you don’t want to go to jail” which ignores the fact that guards will spit and piss in inmates food, beat and humiliate inmates.

Stating that isn’t a defense of Smollette, it’s a statement of principles I believe we should continue to adhere to despite Smollette.

I’m not sure if you can understand that. I just wish white people cared as much when unarmed Black peoples get shot in the back and shit.

Jussie is a piece of shit for what he did. Duh. His punishment is the time he getting. But let’s not pretend guards don’t fuck with inmates when they’re mad at them. And white people mad as shit at dude lmao.

I just get the legit concerns being expressed in this thread. Not for him only but for Black people in prison period. To be frank, I think folks that don’t get it don’t want to because giving a shit about Black peoples is something they’ve never really considered.

White folks lose their mind if a dog got treated the way Black men in prisons are treated.

Quote from: Chettlar, post: 83560450, member: 4628

It's genuinely funny how often I will see someone say something super shitty and obnoxious about both From games and their fans, and when the fans respond negatively to that, this is then confirmation of how they are toxic and shitty.  It will even happen when someone is complaining about something, and they are offered a solution by someone genuinely just trying to be helpful, but the problem with that interaction is that it implies that that person could possibly be lacking in some way, which regardless of whether its true, hurts their ego, so they lash out and call the person an asshole and toxic and a gatekeeper, and it absolutely does not matter how much the person was trying to help and how kindly they tried to present.  Eventually that fan eventually stops caring and stops putting that emotional earnest energy into every post and starts just asking the person to leave the game if they hate it so much, because they are exhausted trying to help, and that makes them also get called elitist and an asshole.



I'm so tired of seeing it.  Constantly.  Not that there are not new fans that then see this developing defensive shell and think "oh cool they're being an asshole I'll be an asshole too!  I'm part of the club!  From games are perfect go away everyone!"  I've totally seen it and it's absolutely a bad thing.  But the amount of times those people are conflated because people's egos are so fucking fragile or that they want to be able to express the strong feelings that game causes them and take it out on people who are not being toxic is just.  It's immense.  It's so fucking common.



And then you get the people who just intentionally do it.  It doesn't matter how earnest and helpful and empathetic a souls fan is.  It doesn't matter.  They're wrong and stupid and mean because they can't understand how obvious and simple it is to add an easy mode.  It's so simple you idiots!  Just add an easy mode!



I'm so tired.


                  Is this trolling?

If he hadn't been caught on camera they would be right there with Jussie saying it was all a setup by the white supremacist police and prosecutors.

The Boys TV series is way toned down than the comic. Way more disturbing stuff in the OG comic than Invincible comic and TV.

wouldn't surprise me, given that literally the only topic mods have a consistent "If you don't fucking like it, don't fucking read the topic then" stance on is crypto / NFTs and how obnoxiously aggressive all the rest of their advertising is to the extent you could easily think youre on a 0-day torrentz site

I’m sorry, but you’re coming in way too aggressive on this, to the point of threatening other members. It’s obvious and understandable that the topic is close to your heart. And you’re right, most of us don’t think enough about the problems and real dangers queer black people face just by living (prison being one of them).
But don’t presume that every poster is ill-intended in this specific situation. No one wants to see him suffer in prison and no one even hinted at something like that. But you can’t separare the cause from the person. He is a proven liar, he talked a lot about his attack on television, he put on a show. That statement in court is strange if you take all of this in consideration. People pointing that out shouldn’t detract from the horrible experiences others have had (and that he could have as well, unfortunately).
Regarding the case, he shouldn’t get prison at all, imo. He needs good psychiatric treatment.
No. Absolutely not. And I'm tired of this. Y'all don't get to act like mods are supposed to be neutral robots and aren't allowed to have feelings. We do.

Let me break this down further, because despite my "threats" I haven't actioned a single person in this thread.

"Jussie Smollett is a piece of fucking shit who lied and deserves jail time." - FINE

"Prison jokes" - NOT FINE

"Haha 3AM at a Subway!?" - NOT FINE. There's a reason why so many Queer POC went to bat for him. Because shit like this actually happens, regardless of whether or not He lied.

I'm a Queer Black person who is a victim of sexual assault. And these threads over Jussie Smollett really make me feel like if I described the circumstances under which it happened to me, I'd be laughed at too.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...... so, what you're saying is, even though you knew his whole story about going for a subway at 3am in freezing cold weather was an obvious fucking lie and you personally banned a ton of people for fucking pointing that out, because you're projecting your own kink about getting some risky anonymous rough trade in a public bathroom in the early morning hours and lieing about going to 'get food' is obviously a lie you have used, you're going to defend an obvious lie anyway, because you're projecting your own George Michaeling life onto Juicy Smoltits?

Yeah, if you like risky hook ups you're gonna get fucking rolled at some point. That's not "That Gay Black Life", that's your taste for strange - a straight white dude with a taste for barely legal crack whores straight off the street is also gonna get rolled at some point. The risk is your kink, dipshit. Of course there's limited sympathy for that.

That was probably the part that made a lot of people go, ‘wait, what?’  It was all fairly believable but that nugget was way too much to swallow.

this accessibility shit is nauseating, whether you're talking about colorblind modes or just difficulty

a content creator is sovereign over what they personally want to make, they're already risking a lot by making something themselves and putting themselves out there, having the audacity to claim that whatever they made is good and fit for public consumption

it's hard to Make Stuff

are authors required to sell braille versions of their books? do they have to write at a 3rd grade reading level with easily digestible content in order to cater to those with mental struggles?

are filmmakers required to make versions of their films for the blind? or a version of Lord of the Rings where Shelob is a generic monster in order to cater to the arachnophobes in the audience who might pass out from panic?

then why does a game creator have to do any fucking thing?



if your vision for your game is a VR experience about balancing on one leg for 14 hours on the Wii balance board while people say mean hurtful things at the player in an attempt to make them fall over, that's your game

you shouldn't have to put in a mode for the wheelchair-bound blind gay hispanic catholics who are upset the game wasn't made for them

I must say though not having a colourblind mode seems kinda shitty, having some text in different colours doesn't exactly destroy the game. Plus there are braille e-book readers so pretty much every book is available in braille or has the ability to be.

Honestly lots of the accessibility stuff like colourblind mode, high contrast etc. shouldn't even have to be handled by the games but just get hardcoded into the console firmware by MS/Sony

They should definitely make a system-wide way of handling subtitles, letting you control the size, colour and placement across games and standardising how they function. I have no idea how so many developers are so completely inept about them. Just pop a fucking movie on and copy that.

colorblind mode isn't necessarily an easy task since players may not agree on what objects need to stand out, and in what way, that balances potential intrusiveness with usability

some games go about this by differentiating reds and greens to cover the most common types of colorblindness, others make some colored elements shaded in different ways (stripes, dots etc.), some might go so far as to alter the contrast of world vs. interactive objects



I'm not anti-accessibility, but I am against tacit or explicit requirements that all creators must adhere to

there is a difference between accessibility that can be added to media by third parties, such as braille modes for all books or blind-friendly movie dubbing, and accessibility that is insisted upon being incorporated into the base product, pushing those costs onto every consumer, for all of three people who may ever use it

I am ok with a game maker deciding that it isn't worth it, as long as they're ok with slightly fewer sales

same situation as a game maker deciding to make a game full of scantily clad women, and being ok with missing out on sales from era types

I don't know about other games but I know Apex lets you flip through different colourblind options in the settings depending on what type of colourblindness you have. It doesn't take much to improve accessibility. Actual accessibility, not "the game is too hard, make it easier or you're a bigot!!"-accessibility.

Audio description tracks are showing up on streaming services. SDH subtitles describing sounds have been around. Typically media with mass market appeal. It's cool. To my knowledge, sparknotes popping up on screen like it's VH1 in the 2000s explaining story and themes don't exist.

Sometimes that's how the topic of accessibility and difficulty in games, and the conflation of the two, has me questioning what the experience is. Accessibility options to facilitate that experience are cool. If you're looking for options to avoid that experience, refusing to engage with it, what are you getting out of it. What is the video game at that point. If it's the story, to me the gameplay is telling the story. If it's the quickest way to absorb the plot, from my old out of touch perspective, what's there beyond watching a walkthrough on youtube. People are free to do what they want. Just finding myself a little confused by it.

Been nice to see accessibility features standardized. I've used a couple. Turning off mashing QTEs. Disabling screen shake. As far making them console wide, the Xbox adaptive controller seems great. Consoles let you remap controller inputs system wide. Good stuff.

Dear Guerrilla,

I've been playing your new game, Horizon: Forbidden West. It's pretty good, all things considered. I'm on the last mission and I've had a fun time.

My problem is this: you nerfed Aloy's abs.

I found the Carja Blazon outfit, which, as you may or not remember, was absolutely smoking in the first game. See below.

this...is actually a good point, because it's the only conclusion you can come to

- not including enough accessibility is a sin
- "accessibility" for some reason goes way beyond options for the disabled, all the way to literally how much HP the enemies have
- game development is difficult and they're all crunching, underpaid and overworked, so it is entirely inappropriate to call them lazy
- the only conceivable reason why anyone would be anti-easy mode is so they can feel elitist towards those who can't git gud

therefore:

games only lack easy modes due to actively malicious and harmful attitudes of the decidedly non-lazy developers

I suppose the same way Russia is attempting to take over Ukraine. There's no question that China and Russia are in bed together. They're both communist countries, China is spreading the propaganda lies, and China hasn't issued any sanctions against Russia. On top of that Xi Jinping seems perfectly okay with what Putin is doing.

Ye fucked up, married the wrong woman and had kids with her and now he's facing the ongoing consequences.

Black man just wants to see his kids and wants them off the socials. Their world is already a circus. But yeah that's not going to be a reality.

If Royalan was sexually assaulted, then he was assaulted by either a gay man or a woman. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that I heard Royalan got fat by eating all the other prisoners' food.

Royalan had to construct that cover story to hide the fact his fat ass was actually out at 3 am for his eighth footlong of the day (not a euphemism).

Jokes aside, it just goes to show how performative a lot of these people are with their compassion.  If it doesn't relate to their personal trauma they don't care and if it does? Buddy you better act like its the most sacred cow in a paddock full of sacred cows.

I hate to make light of sexual assault too...damn it fatty.

None of these loons ever ask themselves what would happen to people if landlords were banned from renting out their properties. They seem to think that prices would drop and banks would just magically start handing out mortgages.
