Fair point! The difference I see between the two is that, generally speaking, deleted scenes end up readily available in some fashion (given the rise of online video sharing sites, I’ve seen a ton of behind the scenes and deleted scenes material put up online). The deleted or removed material in visual novels on…

I see your point. That’s why I do agree with your point on the differences between censorship and self-censorship, and why I try to differentiate between what seems unnecessary and what might be seen as a sound decision. In my opinion, for example, the H-scenes in visual novels are a weird one, since I see why they…

For what it’s worth, that’s, for the most part, arguing semantics in the grand scheme of the topic at hand. =P

Let’s use... say, Monster Monpiece, or Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus as the examples for my point. Those two games are rather explicit compared to most all visual novels (static visual novels, at least; kinetic novels like School Days would be a slightly different story). Both games involve rubbing the screen to excite…

The guy talks about games on YouTube. He’s not some shitty “prankster” who touches people inappropriately for views. If you think HE’S a piece of shit, I would love to hear you rant about someone far more deserving of that kind of hatred.

Your points mean nothing if you make them like an asshole. Just a friendly reminder.

If you had read my entire comment (or even just my first point), you would have seen that I make it a personal decision to simply ignore both sides once things got insane and over-aggressive. Yet I also admitted the naive nature of attempting to see the arguments that anyone rational on either end of the debate had…

Because heaven forbid he actually chose a path he actually ENJOYS doing. *gasp*

I’m not going to go into detail on exactly why your points on Kotaku as a whole are a bit off, but the short of it is, have you SEEN some of the garbage that gets published on this site? Sometimes they do pay attention to what they write, and everything is fine. Other times they simply spout off on some out-there…

Technically speaking, theft is work. Not positive work, but work nonetheless. If you can’t agree with what is almost literally a textbook definition (which I believe I gave to you elsewhere on another comment, in case you hadn’t seen that), then we’ll honestly just be arguing semantics.

Yes, because no entertainment outlet would ever rely on advertising and word of mouth to promote their content.

Have you ever been to a circus? Heard a radio personality? Listened to a comedian? All of these things are still work, requiring some form of skill, that appeals to people looking for that kind of entertainment or content. It’s honestly coming across like you simply don’t like the content because of what it is, so, I…

From Merriam-Webster:

I might see some of your point, if you weren’t ragging on a games “reviewer” (or “previewer” or “overviewer” or whatever you wanna call it). His primary video content that gets the majority of his views are his “WTF Is” videos, all of which having nothing to do with anything except for reviewing the available content…

As beautiful as Prime? Now now, Totilo, let’s be reasonable. =P

1. I suppose I would have been referring to the side that simply did discuss actual ethics. When this all started, I did legitimately find people who wanted to discuss the ethical disclosure and portrayals within games media. For the most part, we all avoided the hateful shit, so I never really saw the start or…

I saw “Capcom” and “free” in the same article and got confused. =P

Ahh, Aristotle. Nice use of the term.

Got any toppings for that popcorn? I like ketchup, personally, but I’ll take whatever you’re having.

Those that specifically say they’re pro-GG and also are assholes to people online for stupid reasons, yeah, I agree. Hateful in its entirety. But I’d like to pose a question for you, and I actually do hope for an answer; despite this being the internet, I do care about what people have to say (so long as they don’t…
