I mean, even if the intent of the article was that—which it isn’t—if the author had done something like a funny “let’s look at some truly weird or badly animated, 3D porn so y’all can laugh like me and my friend did,” style write-up I’m sure people wouldn’t have been nearly as disappointed.

Editor’s Note: This story originally included screenshots from the Harry Potter and Pokemon animated porn parodies. We’ve removed those images after readers expressed discomfort over some of the scenes, and believe that words can sufficiently explain the material.

Things this article could have been about:

@ every grey about to come up and tell me “porn isn’t real!!!” or some derivative of that phrase:

Which, y’know: could have still been a great, at least funny article, because MST3K and reading bad fanfiction aloud are time-honored staples of nerd-humor.

They’re underage, chief. If you’re censoring Misty doing the bestiality, you should also be censoring minors doing the horizontal limbo.

Yeah, I mentioned how kind of fucked up that was in a comment I made elsewhere: you can argue that the LoZ characters might be of age, for various whatever reasons; but the article starts with HP porn and ends with (even if it’s a cut away) porn of a character that, in that iteration of her, is no older than 12.

Me @ the entire hot mess this article is, including the fact that nearly all the images you’re showing (arguably) depict minors having sex, which you then...brush past without even really giving a second thought:

He also very much considers his work to be ANIME, because ANIME IS THE WORD USED FOR THE GENRE OF ANIMATION HE HIMSELF HELPED PIONER

No, it’s not, and I wish you self-hating anime nerds would stop spreading misinformation.

It’s a secure facility, my man. No more manpower or funding or personnel are going to be issued when one person with even a modicum of training and an automatic weapon can mow down several dozen people at a time.

Imagine how close we were getting to a timeline where gamers and random apolitical nerds almost realized mass action can have an effect on the world.

That’s the thing, though. Choosing to DO those missions, and taking on enough missions TO get your paragon or renegade points that high, are gamifying the narrative in a way that has a lasting narrative effect. It doesn’t just make the last boss “easier” or “harder”, and there’s no real indication that someone will…

It honestly sounds like they’re testing automated Bots that’ll trawl through video and text content to flag streamers/streams for TOU violations, rather than actively using staff to moderate what content is up.

Edit: actually, let me try to be nicer

It sounds, to me, like they’re trying to roll out three different automated systems at once, and these are the growing pains—one system to police streamed content, and tag it as against TOU if too much skin/video that looks like skin is shown in any context; one system to police emotes/text; and another to pick up…

I think, while it’s ultimately a very fair comparison, that knocking the game for its so-so writing/world building and lack of narrative options (and/or lack of lore) also invites/necessitates that we also talk about the developers behind the games we’re comparing it to.
