Your intolerance is showing. :) I’m sure you can find a stinky nudist, but you won’t. Hygiene is pretty important to that culture. I trust committed nudists’ cleanliness more than the typical vacationer, that’s for sure.

Or maybe beautiful art compared to ugly art? Subjective I know but western entertainment media has downplayed appealing art styles for some time. I’m talking about content made for adults not the kiddie cartoons.

As far as the subject is concerned, it’s about purchase power. Include a gay tangent in a game? I’ll still buy it if its still good and fun. But make the protagonist unappealing even if the game is groundbreaking? My dollars go elsewhere. The point being all this talk about any part of the entertainment industry is a…

Yes, this 17%/2% is a false equivalency between parametric response and purposive sample.

I don’t know about most folks, but very few of the games I play address ideas even related to gender identity or sexuality, because they just don’t matter for what the point of the game is.

I love hearing people online say over and over again that Miyazaki should be making the Zelda movie and how I have to remind them that he’d rather kill everyone in the room and then himself than make a movie adaption of a video game.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

Id be so curious to understand how western games are being welcome for sexual content, but Japanese games are regularly criticized for the same.

I also don’t know the award show’s stance on:

If you want to use a more literal definition of ‘snub’ (rebuffed, ignored, spurned disdainfully) Hogwarts Legacy fits that bill to a tee. Considering the conversation around the game, it was obvious it wasn’t going to be nominated regardless if it was good or bad.

It’s fascinating to me how little people understand about history, specifically that of the American revolution. No United States of America, no Bill of Rights, and no recognition of the inherent civil rights of the individual. No freedom of speech, assembly, and so on. (Not touching religion with a ten foot pole.)

Yeah that was one of the most asinine and head scratching takes I’ve ever seen on here. Wtf

I have to concur - call a spade a fucking spade, Kotaku. I’m all here for supporting just causes to alleviate Palestinian civilians’ horrible situation - but never, ever qualify those who committed a callous massacre and publicized their own atrocities for major shock and horror value as a simple “political and…

“Wow, Palestine, you’ve got world support. How did you do it??”

So many are against CC and their AI stuff and say its off topic. It shows you never watched their videos then as they said AI is part of being a visual effects artists. It’s another tool for people in the field to use. Lets face it, the hate just comes from boomer type minded people who don’t like progress.…

I mean, in all fairness, Microsoft has done a much better job at crushing XBox than Sony, historically.

Haha triggered Microsoft Fanbois are hilarious.

Five years later, Final Fantasy VII Remake still hasn’t been ported to the platform.

Reddit moderation has always been full of issues, from hyper specific rules for each subreddit, to mod groups that act like special clubs... it has never caught on with me.

And a good morning to you!

I particularly love his growling about “killing civilians” (which it is absolutely true that American forces have been guilty of).  It’s like, “My dude.  Did you just decide that WW II never happened?  Your nation’s involvement in Korea?  China?  Vietnam?  Yes, the US has done awful things,…
