Man charged with lying-in-state queue sex assaults
Adio Adeshine appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court after being charged on Friday.

Two women were allegedly sexually assaulted in the queue to attend the Queen's lying-in-state, a court heard.
Adio Adeshine is accused of exposing himself and pushing into the mourners from behind as they waited in line at Victoria Tower Gardens on Wednesday.
He is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.

What the fuck is wrong with people.
Queue can get pretty boring I guess...

I wonder if the victims stayed in the queue after he was arrested...
It's a wonder this one escaped the notice of the committee of impartial moderators over there. I wonder what the post said before the edit  ::)

I remember it was very weird in high school when our borderline Dutch teacher came out as a lesbian and suddenly showed up bald.
We all thought she had cancer.  :doge

I can't imagine what kids must endure today or teachers for that matter.

It's also a very loaded term, as the word Sabra is heavily associated with the Sabra and Chatila massacres that happened in 1982, which led to the deaths of thousands of innocent Palestinians. All under the oversight of Israel, so all this hero talk is just embarrassing. A persecutor superhero, great.

The timing of this story is also very sus, the 40th anniversary of this massacre was yesterday.
Quote
It does seem intentional.
Quote
Looking at the number of posts in this thread it seems it won't be an issue in west
Quote
The article mentions that there are no plans for the character to address the "conflict".
So, while its unclear how it will be reimagined, the past links and visual cues are inexorably going to still be there (and being brought up). The timing makes it even worse.
Quote
literally named after and announced on the day a massacre of palestinians in sabra and shatila at the hands of lebanese right wing christian factions and with the permission of the israeli army
Quote from: spineduke, Moderator
She wasn't named after the massacre, that's not the implication - but to carry on using the name after the name has been stained by such a dark event is a strange and imo unnecessary decision. To announce it on the eve of said events anniversary just makes the whole thing look even worse.

Yes yes, don't listen to a forum for advice on naming your child. But curious on the opinions in any case. We're still a ways out for the birth, but I'm having a real tough time coming up with a name. At least I have a bit of a short list now. So what say you ERA, any favorites here? If not, any names you're particularly fond of otherwise? Are there any names on this list that you think I may regret?

Of course, we'll wait to meet her before making the final choice!

I'm Canadian. Ancestry is mainly Irish and Chinese.

As long as we continue to champion primitive perspectives on our world, at the expense of an at least equally-emphatic appraisement of initiatives that enable us to expand beyond them, our culture is never going to leave this manifestly emotionally unintelligent phase behind.

And of course they're all tying it to the content of the game itself. Meanwhile Ubisoft which tries to be more and more politically correct with every entry has a mass sexual harassment problem

He needs to tow whatever the line is at this minute, cos there's enough shit out there about him to become an instant pariah in the community he wants to be part of. Sad!

Idk why you'd be so desperate to be part of a scene full of people who will gleefully get you fired from your job, but he's too far in at this point I suppose.

Nier Automata does not have boob physics like jello and Yoko Taro does not vocally express disdain for feminism. So yeah, not sure it's a good point of comparison in this instance.

Quote
I can only speak for myself as a woman, but why Nier:Automata doesn't make me feel gross while Stellar Blade does:
-even if Eve is technically wearing more, her outfit ultimately still feels more revealing because of how ridiculously skin tight it is. At least 2B has a skirt by default; Eve's outfit is basically if skirtless 2B was default instead and just had silver paint thrown on over her cheeks.
-the default camera angle for running was obnoxious, yeah, but otherwise I never felt like it was trying to live up in 2B's butt. Sure you see it at times, and her skirt does get ripped up at one point, but its framing always felt more coincidental to me as opposed to purposefully ogling her. Some might disagree, and that's okay, but, just, I certainly never got the same gut clench of super fkn annoyance at N:A's camera angles as I got from, say, XB2. And one of Eve's attacks -- with the gun -- literally is just an excuse for excessive boob jiggle pointed directly at the camera for several seconds. Nier has nothing like that.
-there's equal opportunity fanservice. This is another one I know some folks definitely don't feel the same as me on, but it just personally makes me feel better about it when the guys are treated like eye candy, too.
-the outfit designs in Nier have a very cool edge to them, and if the cool factor in a design is strong enough, it can make it easier to focus on than the sexualization
-there's no boob jiggle (I cannot underscore enough how much this shit fucking irritates me)
-the ladies are all awesome and badass. Like, on one of the game covers it's 9S who's held up like a fainted damsel by 2B. I love that shit so gd much. With Stellar Blade we've seen jack all about Eve's personality so far, but the other girl is like super typical ugu high pitched anime in a way that instantly makes her feel less than any of the ladies found in Nier.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not at all saying Nier is without issue (it absolutely has its issues), just that those issues don't bother me nearly as much as what I'm seeing so far in Stellar Blade. These are where the lines draw for me, and why one is my favorite game of all time and the other is one I'll likely never touch -- even if this awful news about the studio hadn't come out.

Yoko Taro be like:

"The child came home looking for his mother only to see her being murdered by the village chief before his eyes after she was raped. He cried and ran away into the woods.
In the woods he was alone and scared and crying. He went looking for food but the woods were barren. He ate a mushroom which was poisoned and slowly started to eat him up from the inside.
A stranger passed him by. He asked him, "are you lost boy?" The boy nodded. The stranger pushed him on the ground and stole what little money he had on him.
The boy had a broken knee, and struggled to move. He fell down and a twig pierced his arm, leaving a stream of blood wherever he went.

"Help! Help!" he said but no one came. "Help, please......" his voice echoed but none would hear.
Suddenly a cry of wolves. They smelled the blood. The wolves surrounded the boy and before the night had ended were feasting on the bones of the child, howling with glee as he screamed for the last time."

After the boy was no longer making any sound, the wolves lost interest. Then the vultures came and they picked at his eyes. He still screamed on the inside.
The poision had paralyzed him but he was still screaming on the inside....

The blind, mute, one-armed and deaf old man in the wheelchair had written this grim tale on the walls of his prison over and over again. Somehow he was still alive. He wanted to die but the gods wouldn't let him. Was he the boy from this story? He cannot speak so we will never know."

I really hate this sort of fatalist take that just shrugs at these things. It wouldn't honestly take much to get this sort of stuff noticed, start a conversation about it, and move things in a more positive direction. But even enthusiasts on forums that are supposed to be decent places just throw their hands up and go "what are you gonna do no one cares" or "separate art from the artist" and these sentiments don't do anything but prop up a shameful status quo. Multiple women got harassed out of a studio that clearly sees women as objects, this feels like a really ill fitting time for "people will like what they like".
Quote
?

That is a well known artist and people like his work. What art style do you think his game will have?

Do you think he and his team will think twice about sexualization when one of their main inspirations for the game is Nier (even for music)?

Did sexualization help or hurt the sales of games like Nier and Bayonetta?

What's propping up the quo is that most people don't care and nor do the companies. Remember what happened with Ivy's design and SC6? What do you think are the chances of Sony dropping this project?

Not surprising he things Keffals is a brave hero when he is besties with notorious scumbags like Brianna Wu. I hope those fake Twitter  followers are worth it, Patrick.

He needs to tow whatever the line is at this minute, cos there's enough shit out there about him to become an instant pariah in the community he wants to be part of. Sad!

Idk why you'd be so desperate to be part of a scene full of people who will gleefully get you fired from your job, but he's too far in at this point I suppose.
A little bitch is a little bitch...what's so surprising?

Yes, if is not more than 4 or 5 people actually backing the claim I think is not specially credible (for better or worse).

The fact that she decided to link to the trailer of the game rather than a comment from the other people affected...

It's also kind of pointless without seeing or understanding the actual controversial tweets. Like was she just giving feminist support or did she also insult people etc

Edit: now it sounds like she was tweeting in support of a specfic feminist group, a group who does stuff like this:
Megalia is radical but even within its ranks there is a feeling that it may go too far, over, for example, whether to out gay men who marry women as a cover for their homosexuality.

I mean our consoles are probably a product of child labor at the bare minimum. You draw the line where it begins bothering your conscience, that's about all one can reasonably be asked IMO.
yikes. mods?? clean up on page 4. we got another case of whataboutism going on here. this guy is trying to make me feel bad about the child labor used to build my electronics when the real issue here is men drawing sexy women

South Korea and most of Asia seems like a different cup of tea all together when it comes to these sort of issues and what is considered acceptable behaviour.
And not just on the feminist side. You can't just go off and yell on social media or be an activist if it somehow involves or traces back to the company you work for.

I have no idea how to judge that. If I read that correctly, she was or is a supporter of a radical group in SK. I don't know the culture in SK.

When it's as conservative there as in Japan, it's difficult for women. That's why I don't have to like radicalization.

A friend of mine is trans and has an operation. She is threatened by a German radical women's group because she is "not a real" woman. So maybe I'm biased when it comes to groups like this.

Perhaps Western publishers can even help there and focus more on women's rights without supporting radical groups.

How likely do you think it is that this Dev fired the woman for being transphobic, as opposed to being a feminist?

What part of "Don't shit on your employer in public" do these people not understand?

If I was to talk shit about my workplace on Twitter, I'd probably get fired too. It's not that hard to comprehend...maybe it's just a generational thing?

PROTECT BONNIE ROSS:

This guys Halo scoops have been directly called out as misleading/inaccurate several times in the past, and the fact that this sounds like the toxic Halo fan’s wet dream also makes me really doubt that it’s fully accurate honestly

THE SAME DUDE LATER:

Quote from: LordCeral
People have quoted him in the past because he’s generally been reliable with Microsoft stuff. He was the first one to report the two console plan for this generation and the code names alongside a whole bunch of stuff that he’s gotten right, but his Halo leaks in particular have been all sorts of wrong in the pas

Yes, needing to attend to ailing family members was clearly a smokescreen. Microsoft forced her out due to Halo’s development problems being hers and hers alone, just like how Disney is about to force Kathleen Kennedy out due to everything wrong with Star Wars being her fault. No, it’s not telling that women in leadership roles in male-dominated entertainment fields always seem to end up with weird targets on their backs from internet nerds!

Can we not.

 :thinking

Also, is funny because you guys were openly insulting assholes like Jim Ryan and Zaslav, but somehow women executives got it worse and deserve respect. ::)

It is a turn of phrase with a long tradition, spun from corporate boardrooms in all seeming sincerity — no winks, no nods — just the sober announcement.

“Dear shareholder and John Q. Public: our trusted executive is resigning to spend more time with family.”

Sometimes it is actually true. The family tug is strong, especially this time of year. But with large severance packages and corporate images frequently at stake, more often than not the phrase is part of a carefully scripted termination agreement, filled with nondisparagement and confidentiality clauses.

“There are two code expressions: One is the ‘spending more time with your family’ line and the other is ‘leaving to pursue other interests,’ ” said Hal Reiter, chairman and chief executive of Herbert Mines Associates, an executive recruiting firm in New York. “But who are they kidding?”

These people love to say how they don't fall for corporate shenanigans, yet any entertainment of the notion that Bonnie Ross may not have left for all the reasons given in a blatant face saving PR statement is angrily swept aside. And we all know the reason why they so strongly resist any other notion than the face saving one. They think her getting fired after years of driving 343 Studios into the ditch would be a "win" for the "gamer chuds" they hate oh so much.

Most of RE are thirty year olds that know corpo speak because that is how usually get around a humiliating shit can, why they pretending that is out of the realm of possibility that Bonnie Ross is just saying “family emergency made me quit faster” an an excuse is mind blowing. She should have been fired since the MCC shit show and somehow endured until now but is “inappropriate” to suggest that a big corporation and a executive are not entirely honest about why she is quitting.

Yes, is too bad if she has a real family emergency, but why I should act like a give a shit beyond that? This is the forum that loves grave dancing political figures and celebrities that they hate, but doubting a corpo executive reason to leave her job is suddenly inhumane and bad taste.
