Corpse Run was effective advertising - I just added a sous-vide thingy to my Cyber Monday purchase list, despite knowing, in my heart, that I will maybe use it once, maybe twice a year at most, and that it will spend 99% of its time in The Cabinet of Forgotten Trendy Cooking Tools, alongside the Foreman Grill, the…

*Nobody* looks cool in VR from the outside, ever. It’s against the laws of nature. If you ever see someone looking cool while playing a VR game, congratulations, you’ve just successfully found a demon masquerading in human skin: now, quickly, call the Vatican, and get them to send their top exorcists before it gets…

On a side note: could there even be a more perfect pairing of celebrity and game than Lady Gaga and Bayonetta?

Playing a Platinum Game game was her mistake, that being the case.

I doubt the existence of this ‘BS meter’. We need documentation!

Fellow TS guy here, diagnosed when I was 6. Becoming a freshman in high school during the dawn of youtube’s popularity, and Torette’s Guy being a prominent meme, made telling my peers about TS a nightmare.

Yea, this reeks as a bunch of non-Twitch viewers not comprehending why she didn’t just e-mail the writer a copy of her passport and eight references from family and friends. She should stay as private as possible, it’s a nightmare for most streamers once they are doxxed. If you’re lucky, you’ll just have people send…

She’s not saying that she vomits blood because she has tourette’s. She has an autoimmune problem as well, which probably fucks with her stomach already, and as somebody who also has tourette’s I can tell you there are a lot of physical ticks that can really exacerbate stuff like that. I used to have this one tick…

If I ever started twitch streaming, I would simultaneously try to hide every possible detail about my real life, because people are horrible.

your assumptions say a lot about you as a person

Thank you for the interesting piece, and double-thank you for your fairly detailed explanation of what Tourette’s is (and isn’t). As someone who was diagnosed thirty-five years ago (I’m 40 now), I’ve spent way more time than I’d have liked to dispelling myths about my condition. I fall firmly at the end of the…

I liked the show a lot but my 6yodaughter first reaction to seeing Adora was to ask “Who’s that boy?”

Especially given that there’s a large mostly female cast who all have their own styles and body types, I think the message is more like “Girls are strong, no matter what they look like.”

Fine, maybe you’re not a pervert. Maybe you’re just someone with an incredibly narrow idea of what girls and women are supposed to look like, who gets irrationally angry when someone’s appearance falls outside that tiny little box you’ve built.

Having athletic features makes someone masculine? 

This would be forgivable if they planned on having Adora becoming a trans-male or otherwise grappling with her gender identity...but they aren’t. She’s supposedly a cisgender girl designed to appeal to other cisgender girls, which means they are FAR off the mark.

All you’re doing is perpetuating the exaggerated stereotypes of female characters.
Adora has like a 24" waist and 32" hips. Is she as dramatically exaggerated as the old school cartoons with big hips and itty bitty waists? No. But she is still drawn with more curves than your average 15 year old girl.
But you’re sitting…

If you get a chance watch a few episodes of the OG She-Ra. Then watch the reboot and see why I replied the way I did.

Yo, you can just say that Adora isn’t getting you off the way the 80s version did - none of the extra words you used made it any less obvious that you’re looking for a way to jerk it to a kids cartoon.

If anything, nostalgia is keeping many people from enjoying the show.  I never watched the original She-Ra except for the Nostalgia Critic mocking the Christmas episode, and I found the new show pretty fun.
