> “All the girls from SAO”

Oh, please. That show’s second season featured repeated sexualized fetish torture including tentacles and implied rape for literally no reason. It’s not even believable considering they’re in a game. Some of the characters in that show exist for literally no other reason than to fawn over the…

“Anything I don’t agree with is not intelligent.”

This is what you sound like.

I don’t think it’s misogyny. I’m sure many of the people who worked on this go back to their home with their wife who they love immensely and treat kindly.

Japan just has a very different idea of how these things function. You could call it misogyny and I would, if it was done by a western audience. But really, to…

I am honestly okay with this.

Do I think it has any value whatsoever? No, I really, really don’t. This is nothing but manipulative marketing to sell PVC statuettes and figurines which is practically the primary source of revenue for these studios. It’s no different to the many, many, many other forms of shitty…

That’s a disengenuous comparison.

The volume of sexual fanservice for either sex is not even remotely comparable. Even in the porn industry this is the case.

Don’t take my word for it, please, confirm this yourself. Go to Google, and type “anime statue”. I guarantee you that the vast, *VAST* majority of items you’ll…

In a series where Machamp can be female, and yet people are saying this.

Yeah, I’m just basically convinced Pokemon fans are fucking retarded now. No doubt in my life.

> “Like, my friends just say “go to cons, they have tons of girls now!”, yes tons of girls that ARE ALL TAKEN ALREADY!!”

This is your first and, trying to be optimistic here, only mistake.

I’m enjoying the new Raiding tier that was just released in Final Fantasy XIV. I won’t have to worry about an expansion until March of next year but, then again, it’s not even urgent. We get new stuff every three months anyway; expansions serve the purpose they no longer serve for World of Warcraft.

I played WoW for 6…

This is going to blow your mind. I don’t know where you’re from, but if you’re an American, your culture’s kind of far too young for you to have developed this kind of magical sixth sense, but:

If a culture has deep-rooted issues with imagery, it is usually something pretty fucking serious to them and to understand it…

With such cultural obliviousness, there’s nothing you can say that’d make it “easier” for them to understand that.

They live in this pretty little bubble of happiness where nobody confronts them about anything ever; an easy life in a protected, overglorified culture where the wrongdoer is always on the outside looking…

> deviant

It’s not deviant at all. If it was, it wouldn’t be a problem to begin with and people would just default to treating them like a loudmouthed moron. Which, to be saying retarded shit like that, really should be how they should be treated.

Kind of like you.

Oh I’m sure you’re the most stoic and resilient human being on the planet and never get offended at anything at all.

See, this is precisely why that idea of the “priviledge” was created. To accurately describe people like you.

Y’know what? I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this, for one reason: A LOT of children play these games.

...Like A LOT of them. I gave a talk at a midschool about videogames and how the industry can exist even in a country such as ours, and I asked a lot of them what their favourite games were. This…

Look carefully, kids. You want designers to look at your work and see talent in your map design and world design abilities? This is what you gotta do.

Just sad that I probably can’t offer the guy enough money to compensate moving to a foreign country; dude has a real seriously good eye for world design.

Just caught this reply, so sorry for the late response.

I’m a fresh Diamond player, that means around 3100-3150 (for comparison: ranks go up to 5000 but the pros are around 4200 and the highest ranking player is around 4600).

Nothing quite matters in Quickplay. I do think every single match of Overwatch should be played…

> “It’s getting milked to a point where it just tastes sour now...”

Wooooow, is anyone surprised Kotaku used Lightning as the thumbnail just for that extra clever-not-clever-at-all jab?

‘Cuz I’m not.

What do you mean, how?

I kill RIP-Tires with Mercy’s blaster. I seriously cannot even fathom how people still have any amount of difficulty dealing with RIP-Tire.

I get that most people will be bottomfeeders in the lower 1000s or just Quickplay players who play occasionally, but even in my first like 4-5 hours of…

She’s not unpopular, nobody hates Symmetra. She sucks. Pro players agree that she sucks, Blizzard themselves agree that she sucks: Symmetra sucks.

Nobody is “underestimating” anything, anywhere, under any circumstances. Symmetra is a bad character, her kit is not useful for any situation whatsoever, and any situation…

“She’s interesting but her appeal goes down when you’re up against 6 teenage DPS who are all like, “rawr, murder!” straight out of the gate.”


...What? That’s not why she sucks. You should be “rawr murder” right off the gate. If you stick your head out at a choke like a moron, you lose it.

She sucks because her kit…
