This may have been covered in a comic I missed, but most dictatorships are based on fear and the control of information. North Korea would revolt if they realized their leader wasn’t a demigod, most German citizens didn’t understand what was going on in WW2, and most Americans don’t care about drone strikes since…

That depends on what you mean. They have depicted characters who are not Japanese, but I cannot recall a specific example of a character who appeared neither Asian nor European (with the usual catch that the stylized animation can send mixed signals about race, especially in fantasy projects that borrow cultural…

Well, shit. Does this mean Pop Fiction is dead? Where else am I going to learn about amazing urban legends like Star Fox in Bayonetta and how to revive Aerith?!

When I was younger, the prevailing logic among my (remember kids, *Junior High*) peers was that if you didn’t like girls, then you must be gay. This was so entirely absolute that the thought of being asexual didn’t even cross my mind until my college years. “Gee, that’s a thing?”

I’m fairly certain nobody asked for this, but here we are: Luffy from One Piece gets turned into a lady for upcoming merch.

But will she sing this?

A couple of the legendaries aren’t unique Pokemon, but are canonically “legendary” because they’re so elusive to mankind. The Emerald Pokedex entry for Latias for example mentions they move in herds, which would mean there have to be multiple of them.

considering someone actually went and made that virus after the movie came out, yes.

Hey, if this catches on it’ll mean immense support for VR, which will only benefit us as gamers.

The Internet we live and breathe every day exists because of two things: the military, and people wanting to look at boobies.

react?

Yes. That.
