You have the Persona series, Tokimeki Memorial, Three Houses, Trails of Cold Steel, and on and on.

I know it's also big in anime, so I guess that's the overlap.

I'd love more stuff set in Japanese adult life honestly. I guess Yakuza is great here.

Because they are directed to teenagers and Japanese teenagers tend to gravitate towards young protagonists. The same reason why shonen protagonists are hot blooded idiotic kids.

Is not rocket science, dumbass.

I would argue the high school stuff is more likely targeted at lonely 30 and 40-something paedo shut ins in Japan and the west...

Ah shit, for once I kinda agree with those cats. Having been a poor kid, I can say for certain that although I might’ve wanted to keep the hoody, I couldn’t have taken a new hoody home to my parents. It just would’ve been mad awkward and weird and kinda embarrassing for all of us. My parents were good people, they didn’t need reminding that they couldn’t stop me being visibly ‘poor’ to the outside world.

Also, was it stolen? Are you selling drugs? What did you do for this guy to be giving you stuff? etc

e:
OPs "No kid of mines allowed to be a friend to someone like that" is a dick move tho

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-did-this-scene-from-she-hulk-cause-such-an-uproar-from-a-certain-crowd.715033/

What's even the point of threads like these?

1) You clearly know exactly the answer you're looking for.
2) you provide 0 examples of what you're "asking about"
3) this "certain crowd" you describe, I promise you, is not watching She Hulk
4) who still gives a fuck about She Hulk
5) this supposed massive uproar, I have no idea what OP is talking about. At least post about the twerking scene which at least did cause an uproar for being the cringiest moment in TV history

People memed the shit out of it because its fucking stupid to compare the shit hulks gone through with "I get cat called and have an annoying co-worker"

(Image removed from quote.)

It's same shit as Last Jedi where they completely stop thinking critically because it's now all about the culture war and you can't give points to the opposing side.
It's completely fine that the writer wanted to make a point about everyday sexism, it's dumb as fuck though to play "who has it worse" with traumatized comic book characters, especially when the guy tried to commit suicide

I’ve read various thoughts as why it is beyond that simple explanation. Wasn’t Wednesday a big show recently set in high school? Isn’t h@**y p0[[3* huge and set in school? Or in a broader sense, how many popular comedies are bachelors in their 20s and 30s. Or college comedies. I get the, for lack of a better term, per capita reasoning. But it seems to me like it’s got regular appeal. Can’t say it’s my scene. Last real school based media I got into was Persona 5, something like six years ago?

Sometimes I feel like I missed out by having a very normal and healthy time in high school. Didn’t peak there. Nor do I have resentment from bullying or whatever.

User Warned: Accusations of Regulatory Bias

Willy nilly accepting Sony's argument. Oof
User Warned: Accusations of Regulatory Bias

The truth is the CMA was looking for a reason to block from the get go. Weather it was Cod or Cloud, I dont think it matters to then. They just want a block. They ditched the console argument because it was full of holes and an appeal would be easier for microsoft. Im not saying the CMA didnt do their research, they obviously did. The problem is they had a final decision before even looking at the data. They adjusted some of the data they gathered to fit their narrative instead of using it to build a conclusion.

At this point I just want this to be over, but allowing an easy block would put microsoft in a weird spot regading future purchases

I also dont know how the CMA appeal process works, but it would be weird if this doesnt have some sort of judicial review after a CAT response. Blocking a 70bn purchase while claiming Microsoft has some sort of monopoly in a sub market that represents less than 2% of the overall gaming market is really shady in my opnion.

Also, how are you blocking a deal when you can't even predict what that market is going to look like in 10 years?

I can’t help but think they wanted to block the deal the entire time and just made it look like they tried to be fair.

That or the entire CMA have the IQ of a head of cabbage.
User Warned: Accusations of Regulatory Bias

I like how the implication of saying the CMA is an "un-elected body" is that they can't be bought or lobbied, at least not as easily as other regulatory bodies.

User Banned (Permanently): Dismissive Commentary Around Representation; History of Dismissing Racism

It seems strange to say that a fantasy world must mirror our own real world (in either a contemporary or historical context). The beauty of a fantasy world is that it doesn’t necessarily have to mirror the real world at all.

It’s just a matter of the creators putting in the work to make their chosen world be believable.

If they want to add an element, it’s as simple as coming up with a believable context within the world for that element. It doesn’t matter what that element is. If they do a good job of that, then the world will work. If they don’t, then it won’t.
:lol

History of history:

Dude is definitely a weirdo and it's not altogether odd that the kid reacted that way. However, the responses from the usual crowd are still over the top.

I wonder how many of the people that pretend to like Waypoint even read their articles. Like 90%+ of the times that I see a Waypoint article being shared, it's usually to just dunk on it, like that ham-fisted article where they tried to relate RE2 Remake with BLM and ended up saying nothing of substance about either topics.

:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory accusations, history of inflammatory commentary
Quote from: RetroRunner
Quote from: Booshka
Abolition is a legal and political term on purpose, and the radical thinking that revolves around abolishing nuclear families recognizes this. When academics say that we should abolish the nuclear family, we are coming at it from a queer and feminist theory that identifies the oppression enacted upon non-traditional families. So, if you aren't "next of kin," defined by the law, not a part of a relationship that is recognized by the state, because of the "nuclear family," supremacy, then you can't take care of your loved ones. Communal care is impossible under a normative construct that puts the nuclear family on a pedestal.

The privilege of those that have benefited from nuclear families, yet actively push against the academic theory of nuclear family abolition is outrageous to me, because it intersects with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, black liberation movements and other movements that recognize that the legal framework of the "nuclear family," is a white supremacist patriarchal capitalist construction, and its maintenance only serves those interests.
You’re clearly not a parent. Are you willing to murder me to achieve your goals?

It's in a run-down area you wouldn't visit without reason, but regardless so many people were outside on their stoops talking to one another and watching their children play. There wasn't a party or cookout going on. It was just neighbors just wanting to commune with one another. For a split second I was jealous and thought "I wish I had that."

What's the problem? No apartments vacant, you couldn't afford the rent, or you wanted to get back to your safe and cozy suburbs?

I purposefully didn't attempt to answer you. But to be nice, my answer is no, I don't apply that thinking to every situation, just like I don't think rich people have as much right to complain about how hard life is as poor people. Because context is a thing that exists in a society.

 :thinking


The thought of Nepenthe romanticizing poverty from her parents Tudor house in the Georgia suburbs simply because the only meaning she can get from life is identity-based...   ::)

My mental picture of Nepenthe is Carlton Banks coming out as trans and then joining the black panthers. You can tell that she has had a sheltered and privileged upbringing.

Edit:
And a furry.

Quote from: Booshka
When academics say that we should abolish the nuclear family, we are coming at it from a queer and feminist theory that identifies the oppression enacted upon non-traditional families. So, if you aren't "next of kin," defined by the law, not a part of a relationship that is recognized by the state, because of the "nuclear family," supremacy, then you can't take care of your loved ones. Communal care is impossible under a normative construct that puts the nuclear family on a pedestal.
Free Booshka to English translation: we aren't allowed to use guns to take other people's stuff and/or force them to do what we want.

You have the Persona series, Tokimeki Memorial, Three Houses, Trails of Cold Steel, and on and on.

I know it's also big in anime, so I guess that's the overlap.

I'd love more stuff set in Japanese adult life honestly. I guess Yakuza is great here.

Because they are directed to teenagers and Japanese teenagers tend to gravitate towards young protagonists. The same reason why shonen protagonists are hot blooded idiotic kids.

Is not rocket science, dumbass.

What's stopping her now? I mean, other than her personality.

She talks about all this "community activism" and "mutual aid" but what does she know about her neighbors? Does it all come through her parents and is tinged with that typical suburban criticism of people doing things you don't like on their property? Has she checked to see if any of her immediate neighbors need mutual aid of any kind or does she dismiss the idea that they could need something because they're "rich" since they live where she does? Or does she just think they don't deserve it for some reason like their race or age or sexual orientation or location? Are they not showing the signs of "need" enough for her to feel good? Are they somehow having problems that aren't because of the system even though everything bad is caused by capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy and transphobia? Shouldn't her activism be targeted at the "powerful" suburban voter who can use their leverage to "abolish" the system by showing them the merits of the "take a carrot, leave a carrot" utopia? Or is her "activism" about waiting for others to lead the inevitable revolution?

It's funny because she so clearly thinks Black people should be "exotic" and "primitive" and is angry that she's been denied that "authentic" Black lived experience despite her skin color but nobody can call her out just like nobody can say she shouldn't be admin anywhere on the internet.

In my own personal head canon, Neopetenthe was adopted by a lovely white couple who dabbled in hippy culture in the 60s but ultimately became upper middle class suburbanites who thought they were doing a good thing by adopting a little black boy.

The thread links to a video that shows you how to cook it.  Suffice to say, the limiting factor in one's competence to put grocery store ground beef and cheese on a stove isn't the race with this one.  It's like saying, "Only the French can make a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich!"  And that's exactly what that dude was implying by using "Hank" as his go-to honkey name and Abdul for the noble ethnic frycook chef.

Taskmaster being gender swapped had literally zero impact on why the character did or did not work.

And really, the fact that you're linking "that character didn't work" to "they changed the character to a woman" shows an inherent sexist bias.

the reason they're discussing it:

https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1653427019756208128

kiwifarms didn't swat keffals  :picard

there's evidence that everyone there watching the keffals drama unfold was just as surprised to learn her address had been discovered and that she'd been swatted

a much more insidious site that no one seems to want to name aloud was actually responsible for targeting keffals, which keffals actually knows and acknowledged in several conversations, saying that she blamed kiwifarms because they were an easier target, and that the other site was actually truly scary and she didn't want to signal boost it in any way

talked about 10 minutes in here

You'd think Kiwifarms pays these people to constantly talk about it and put the site into the consciousness of everyone involved.   And why is Caraballo making such a big accusation without any proof.  She did the same shit with the Andrew Tate pizza boxes thing.  Literally just pulled shit out of her ass and the tweet got 500k likes and 100k retweets, off of a complete hallucination.  It's not hard to ignore a site full of weird, racist distinguished mentally-challenged fellows that don't do anything but talk shit among themselves.

to them, the site is almost worse than if they were actually responsible for all the shit they're accused of, because it tolerates the worst sin of all: letting people say whatever they want

it seems like it's a treehouse from twitter, reddit, discord, era, any platform where people get banned for questioning culture, and as such any excuse or misinformation is justified to work toward getting it shut down
