Why would anyone do that?

People are going to start making a lot of excuses for this, and that’s fine. I think it’s fair to point out that some of this discussion is premature since we barely know anything about her and how the game will deal with her being trans, if she is.

You forgot the best big sisters in JRPGS, Fire emblem fates, where the big sisters not only want to be your big sisters but also bang you.

I think the 2ch person, hits the nail on the head. I’d love to think it was some kind of positive shift in the culture in creating likable but also 3-dimensional women who are just as integral to the main characters growth as the villain.

But the constantly disappointed anime fan within me just thinks the fetish…

Er, you know John Oliver isn’t a journalist, right? And yet, a lot of journalists aren’t and haven’t been asking these questions. Sexual harassment is “rude” and “entirely unwelcome,” yet it’s been treated as a big joke by Hollywood for decades.

Nope. Oliver brought up harassment allegations against Hoffman while they were discussing a movie centered around harassment allegations. It’s literally the perfect time to ask Hoffman about them.

Until Instagram followers are measurable in $, I wouldn’t say that it paid off in any fashion.

We literally talk about how we don’t care that Peach is kidnapped in this podcast and how a large part of this issue comes down to tradition. Altho, I think you’re being unfair in saying only opinion writers care about this when the question of whether or not Zelda can be a fighting hero is *literally the story of the…

To me it’s just more of a trade off. While Zelda actually has character growth and starts to feel like a real person in BotW (i wouldn’t go as far as relatable), Link is as always deprived of any personality. While he is clearly the hero, he is just that: the courageous swordsman with the blade that seals the darkness.

I see where you are coming from. I really do.

Anime fandom really doesn’t interest me at all, but I’m stoked that ProZD (SungWon Cho) is getting more exposure as a comedian. That guy is amazingly talented.

It went from zero to BDSM so fast that it gave me whiplash.

Uh... Fullmetal Alchemist is an original Japanese property, and the movie was made by Japanese for the Japanese market, a market that’s so racially and culturally homogeneous. It doesn’t become a huge deal to use Japanese actors because there is no issue of inclusivity in Japan itself. Whereas Ghost In The Shell is…

goddamnit.

Nintendo really hates things they can’t control with a wrinkled executive’s iron fist.

Raising my hand as one who is severing ties. I used to say “Lena Dunham isn’t helping.” Now I say “Lena Dunham is actively hurting feminist and progressive issues.”

He’s the boss’s go-to guy, which IS power. That makes this concerning to me. 22 is adult, but I feel like there’s still vulnerability there that Doc is ignoring. Better to tell the boss and risk being nosy than have it turn out some young new girl was being exploited and you did nothing to stop it.

I already find it kinda weird when people don’t want their SO to masturbate. But when you have no libido at all, that extra confuses me. What exactly does she want him to do?

It’s the same as watching sports on TV, just for gamers.

You’ve officially cemented yourself as my favorite author on Kotaku since that last loot box article and this one makes me love you more.
