Yeah, I’m confused with the responses to this as it seems Heather is simply pointing out a moment that is potentially homophobic or transphobic and her disappointment with it. Those forms of prejudice aren’t Western, they’re universal.

This taps into another issue, though: if you tally up every trans-LIKE character who appears in a game, versus characters explicitly described as trans, you’ll probably end up with far, far more of the first kind. It’s kind of embarassing how many games like Persona and Ace Attorney will have a character who’s been in…

And now 10,000 comments about different cultures not being hung up on gender like the americans are as if the issues trans folks face is unique to the states.

I bet if they offered Portman this version of Jane Foster rather than the love interest, she’d have stuck around.

Maaan, this is the least interesting route they could have gone down, story-wise. I thought John Marston was a great character, but I’m not interested in the slightest in seeing what he was doing before the events of the first game.

“Come on, it wasn’t that bad....”

Not everyone aesthestic sense will be the same as yours. She looks dashing and elegant while dangerous. Its a powerful puppet like design balancing strength and frailty.

how is Gizmodo assassinating his character? He’s doing a fine job of that by himself.

not even kinda funny, tbh.

doesn’t seem like a very funny guy to me.

How soon before he and JonTron are running Breitbart’s Gaming section?

This news makes me feel ebullient, a word which here means, “Filled with overwhelming energetic joy, as when one accepts a free and unprompted hard-boiled egg from a stranger only to find it improbably filled with money and psychedelic drugs”.

I think that if I was one of the bright 10-year-olds that this series is clearly aimed at, I’d really enjoy this kind of puzzle/reveal. Much the same as earlier generations of bright 10-year-olds loved using their decoder rings to figure out cyphers while listening to the Captain Midnight radio show.

I really enjoy this film I was kind of sad when it was passed up by the Academy but unless you’re a Ghibli film with Disney money behind you there is very little chance of getting the Academies attention. That said the winner of its category Zootopia was a deserving winner, it was one of my favorite films of last…

I found this the perfect way to release the news of the second season, it fits with the knowing tenor of the show. I for one am quite happy its coming back all the same, the series was one of the biggest media surprises in recent memory for me. I went in not knowing what to expect and ended up binging the entire…

Oh absolutely, as a native speaker that’s the optimal way to do it, haha. I don’t know Japanese, so if I’m getting a translation I prefer to hear it in a language I understand and can hear the subtleties of (English) rather than reading subtitles.

Funimation is opening Your Name both with an English dub and with English subtitles on April 7

Makes sense to me! Everyone’s got a unique style. That’s one of the things I love about the game.

What is up with the very timely, look-to-be-high-quality book adaptations? Not that I’m complaining at all, and I’m particularly excited about this one. I don’t think many people could do justice to the source material, but DuVernay seems to have a really clear vision and I’m loving the joy that seems to be permeating…

This is literally the first second that I realized how much of a debt Steven Universe owes to Wrinkle in Time. Thank you.
