I mean he can go on and say “Wrong game and wrong fucking genre”

Whenever I think of how sad/depressing the various endings for Cyberpunk are, I always come back to this conversation:

I can’t disagree harder with this. At the risk of making a straw-man argument, the complaint here is that the relationship is shallow, and you can’t get a happy ending, which is what you really want but...that is largely the point. This is a game world where the most in-depth relationship are the ones you form over a…

People joke, but Riot is literally the greatest music/animation production house who also chooses to make games.

shitting on sex workers? i think that may be a mod, fella. 

The reason you didn’t hear about the leak is *because* they released the official trailer early as soon as the leak was actually noticed by some people. Sure, 24h wouldn’t have made that much of a difference either way but they made the right call.

With Silverhand and Hobie around in recent pop culture, we manage to get two somewhat different portrayal of anti establishment punk hero.

johnny was an asshole to everyone he ever met, nuked a city, and spent an entire mission at the start of the game shitting on sex workers. feeling sad is the least of what he deserves

I think part of the problem with the people complaining about this is either;

1. As you stated they are white knights championing a cause that isn’t theirs and lacking the perspective to do so.

2. People who take the game out of context and treat these characters like they are their own persons. I think we would be…

You’re opinion and voice as a Chinese-American will be drowned out by idiots with nothing better to do then attempt to complain on your behalf, instead of actually asking you what you think on the matter. I’m sure there are Chinese-Americans that aren’t cool with this, but they too will be drowned out by idiots…

I love hearing people online say over and over again that Miyazaki should be making the Zelda movie and how I have to remind them that he’d rather kill everyone in the room and then himself than make a movie adaption of a video game.

This is such a terminally online take. The notion of bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes and culture can only be expressed or shared if someone has the exact same skin tone and nation-state lineage as you is so fucking backwards.

If people have issues with the…

so I am going to toss my hat in the ring here. A large part of the issue is that in the context of the US where minstrial shows were common and that history is fresher than we want to admit (as a personal anecdotal yikes: a coworker of mine in her 60's at one point talked foundly about the mindtrial shows her school…

Have any of these people stopped to consider that maybe it’s not the character but the player that is wearing it? I don’t play Overwatch anymore but as a Chinese American I liked having all my characters (Pharah, Roadhog & Symmetra) wearing Chinese garb because I am in fact Chinese.  Should I only have to play Mei…

People can be upset about multiple things you know. And individual people are very different with different likes and dislikes so lumping them all together as a monolith is kind of silly. 

There was a case where a white female cosplayer made a full-body costume for a black male character. This was a body suit with fake muscles and everything. Naturally, the body suit had a dark pigmentation to match the character’s. People freaked out about this and accused her of using blackface.

I agree that tossing around accusations of “cultural appropriation” is something that’s gotten a bit out of hand.

I find it fascinating that progressive people in favour of representing other people’s cultures find it offensive when the “wrong” character attempts to showcase said culture.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it
