“They’re getting rid of this racist association of nonwhite cultures with primitive monsters? What’s next, they’ll stop doing other depictions of such racism too!?”

I watched parts of it on Max’s stream last night, and it was fun. The definitive edition is $10 on the Microsoft Store, so I finally picked it up on PC.

As a member of the Giant Bomb community then and now, I’m sorry for how you were treated for having the “gall” of trying for something you wanted. I think they would’ve been lucky to have you.

Cool, I just beat the game and absolutely adored the ending, so now I gotta write about it. *cracks knuckles*

There’s also a bird person, or possibly Celine Dion.

As of writing the post Nathan Grayson has been missing for the past seven days. His apartment was found empty save for a fully booted pc and a still running Index gently seated on a gaming chair.

You realize that people in Japan were the first ones to notice this, right?

I’m afraid it’s too short-sighted to simply say “well this is Japan” and handwave it. Pokemon is one of the most successful franchises in the world, and as such, they have a responsibility to consider how decisions like this could affect other cultures that partake in their products. It’s good business to not alienate…

you sound like a white supremacist idiot

Now if Japan could stop putting homophobic bullshit in their games in the first place....

“Birds going batshit, and bats going apeshit.”

This is prose-cursing on the level of Veep. Made me chuckle.

bizarre controversy for the developer when chose to only include European characters in their game set in a medieval Europe. Which is a totally reasonable creative decision.

If you don’t have a problem with lack of representation in video games, no one can “argue you” into caring about it. There are only about a thousand studies to back up how important representation in media is to the emotional and mental health of people from marginalized groups. If you haven’t internalized that…

Everything you’re saying is true. But the people who need to hear it just fuuuuuuuuuuuucking refuse. I’ve tried all kinds of approaches to talking w/ other commenters here about gender or race-bias in gaming: listening first; keeping things hyper-rational and citing data; letting things get emotional and appealing to…

Femanazi was coined by Limbaugh to apply to any feminist. Claiming it means something else is intellectually dishonest 

Oh ffs, even here I can’t get away from this bullshit “GDQ is full of *drama*” narrative?

As sedulous as the modding community is I’m sure they’re already working on it
