The tentacle is the author’s self insert, the rest I believe are characters that have slowly gone from just representing a character from a game (like I think the one is meant to be a female TF2 Engie?) to being his regular cast.

Given how many nerds I’ve seen praising that game’s designs, I really doubt that many people are tired.

I’m a bit confused on the joke as well definitely seemed to be an overreaction.

Lol, poor bitch. I can assure you I’m nothing of the sort, but the fact that you immediately assumed I am economically disadvantaged says a LOT about your worldview. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised a corporate bootlicker is also a social elitist.

How does being a poor bitch feel?

The bootlickers always reveal themselves.

Okay, one final time: A discussion is supposed to be a back and forth between more than one viewpoint. Having an opinion does not invalidate other people’s opinions or concerns. The only person in this entire thread trying to silence or invalidate other peoples’ opinions has been you. Maybe that should get you…

Thank you D3RPY. The hypocrisy of performative trans allies is so frustrating. I appreciate you standing up for reason, and want you to know that I, as a trans woman (hate the need to use the qualifier), feel that your voice is completely valid in this conversation. Everyone’s voice matters, no matter the qualifiers.  

The trans community is not a monolith and the Twitter outrage machine doesn’t represent any group fully 

No, there is a variety of opinions and that is fine and valid. As you can see by me participating in the discussion I’m not ignoring anyone. You were the one who told me someone else gets to decide and that my opinion is invalid (and you still haven’t explained who has the authority to decide this for the entire trans…

Who is the monarch of the trans community who decided that? Or was there a vote? How did they reach all the trans people for that?

You're equating videogames with toys. Ernekid is equating  videogames with art - as they should be. Hence, preservation. And no, they aren't overreacting. Not in the slightest! 

So having the primary trans ‘representation’ being that of a sexual object is more than a little transphobic on its own.

Welcome to Korean games I guess? Same kind of deal was one of the things I liked least about Black Desert, the dudes could look like badasses, but female characters mostly looked like they were wearing sexy Halloween costumes.

It seems out of place to me, but probably not to the audience it was originally released to.

An older Korean game doesn't conform to modern western sensibilities?! My word!

My view is that video games are a great place for larger-than-life fantasy and therefore there is nothing really wrong with the idea of “combat heels” or nonsense armor or the like. It’s stupid and unrealistic, sure, but I just don’t see it as harmful.

Guess who designed BotW’s world and are working on BotW?

Really hoping for a follow up article to this about the person who called it in being prosecuted 

I don’t really see it as trolling, seeing as how there was legitimate Mother news in the Direct. I’m assuming Nintendo has the ability to see how many people download/play Mother 1 and 2 on the Switch, which they may use to determine if they should bring over Mother 3.
