the name of the city is never stated in the movie but it is Hong Kong. if it’s not Hong Kong then where the fuck does the movie take place? because it’s definitely not Japan.

It’s already been mentioned that she is depicted with different facial features than Western characters in the manga. In the movie, a scene compares her directly to another mass production model, and while the scene was meant to show how similar her prosthetic body’s face was similar to that of others, there is a…

The Hamilton outrage ended because the creator offered a suitable explanation (“We want the cast to look like America does today because 1) We want all Americans to be able to relate, and 2) We want to connect America’s past to its present.”). You know, as long as you’re not abusing it, giving an explanation like this…

There are plenty of people who aren’t particularly happy about that. That said, Death Note isn’t so reliant on being set in Japan for its narrative to make sense, and the original story even includes characters from around the world.

Those aren’t small children, though. They’re pretty clearly preteens or teenagers. E3 is a professional event; you’re supposed to be there as part of your job, even if people use a bit of the time for fun and networking.

In all fairness, that’s what GDC is for. E3 should primarily be press/industry (as in, the people who are in a position to “sell” the game)/retail. All these events have kind of congealed into a viscous, game-y soup, though.

Yeah, but the auto shows are explicitly family friendly events. Unless they changed the rules recently, E3 has ALWAYS been 18+. As a matter of course, even if you somehow managed to get passes. Honestly, that video is as jarring as seeing a bunch of kids at a night club.
