Totally not the point I was trying to make.

Not in the least. They have all of the visual Japanese tropes, cliches and characteristics you would expect in from their pop culture. All except this one, boring, "normal" looking dude right here.... That's sort of my point.

Mmmmmrrrrrrrrrr yeah I can sort of see that now that you suggest it.

Would love to see him and Chris Christie should sumo wrestle for the last buffalo wing!

If by that you mean he looks kinda boring, yeah I agree. The only reason he stands out is because he doesn't. He's special and unique because he's not. He looks like he could be a token American video protagonist, though I suppose there is an appeal to that.

This is how Jeeps are made. The sweet, kinky miracle of life!

Oh, and being a terrible American is the best way to be an American. Reject popular opinion, criticize the actions of your run-a-way government, explore foreign cultures and ideas or those of a more local counter culture because you are free to do so. I'm free to import all the JRPGs or Japanese mecha games my heart…

Meanwhile in America....

Oh Gabe. You would too.

I'd actually really love to see a new Extreme G!

I mean the two view points expressed are COMPLETELY contradictory in nature. I really didn't think I had to specify I wasn't making a serious statement.

I wish to tell women would objectify over me. Just saying.

Well my pupil you still have much to learn but I shall take you under my wing.

Lol you said , like, the same phrase 6 times. That is so funny, it's like you lack a wider vocabulary.

The point was to draw attention to the fact that people actually think that way. The point was to highlight the disconnect between the two issues. The comment served it's purpose in that people grasped the disconnect. That people thought I was serious illustrates the notion that despite my comment being so bat shit…

Just because you didn't get it doesn't mean it wasn't satire. The intelligence of the onlooker does not make art or literature not art or literature.

Yeah, I keep forgetting about that. There's this part of my head that's sane that keeps telling me "come one, man, NO ONE can possibly be that dumb, right?".

I'm glad that my blatantly and obviously contradictory comment highlighting a double standard and made in both jest and satire was taken for what it was here. I made a similar attempt at lampooning both corporate apologists and pro-DRM peeps in another comment and people just don't seem to get it over there.
