I didn’t understand the joke either. I mean, I get “chinese” and “knees” rhyme, but what’s the subtext here? Where’s the implication / insult / racism other than using a word that rhymes with a nationality?
(I’m from Mexico, so I’m honestly sorry if it’s totally in-your-face racism and I’m missing something culturally…

What dialect of English do you speak, where the most important definition of blind is something other than “unable to see because of disease or injury?" Sounds fascinating!

In case someone decides to care... like AbleGamers? aka people who are differently abled? No need to lose your shit over it, just choose different words. Obviously differently abled folks /are/ asking for this change. You don’t have to like it, but jeez... just furrow your brow and move on.

So basically it’s like the porn industry was up until 15ish years ago?

the big difference is a real person has agency. a fictional one does not. the characters are not deciding what to wear. they can’t. because they’re fake.

Agreed that a calibration style image would be more useful. Ideally three side-by-side images of a typical dark, medium and bright environment for the game.

Part of the problem for me is it’s contextually blind. Sure I can “barely” see your logo but during the game I’m not looking on a translucent logo on a black wall. I’m looking at a level and with lights and objects in motion. It would be much more helpful if it played a video of some gameplay or AT LEAST a still image…

I was going to use this comment to answer your question, but then I realized you already know the answer and you’re just being a smug prick, so I decided to use this comment to call you a smug prick instead.  

Because this is a video game and pop culture news site, perhaps.

I found the character designs in XC2 really off-putting—there’s a difference between sex, sexuality, and those being tacked on in a way that feels gratuitous and unnecessary. If you can’t tell the difference—or somehow don’t realize one exists—then you probably shouldn’t be dedicating this kind of energy to this…

“them being horny is something that’s gross and wrong”

It’s a kids jrpg because the writing, designs, and rating are all aimed at people under the age of 16. And that’s after the more aged designs of Xenoblade 1, so you know “make em look more like Pokémon” was a deliberate design choice.

I think the willingness to throw money at porn is pretty strongly associated with feeling alienated and alone. I don’t mean this from a “lol virgins bad” perspective, I mean it from a “people that lack human connections will try and find them even if that means paying for it in some form”. Coincidentally, feeling…

If they pander to anti-LGBTQ right wing misogynists, then yes their community will be anti-LGBTQ right wing misogynists. And yes, they will lose anti-LGBTQ right wing misogynists if they speak against them, and yes, if they do not speak against them, they’re literally on the same side with them, maybe not…

“see the overwhelmingly negative response from the press to Xenoblade 2's character designs, for instance).”

They’re also the same people who say that having optional same-sex romance in a game is queer propaganda in the same breath as saying that killing hookers in a videogame is not mysogynist because nobody’s making you do it.

I have friends who make a relatively popular adult game and I asked them about this. They said that a huge chunk of their userbase (at least the paying userbase who can comment on the actual product page, not just fan forums) are people who would be 100% on board with this guy, so they’re not sure its going to cause…

I know pointing out hypocrisy is pointless nowadays, but shouldn’t the type of person who decries “cuck betas” and is deeply concerned about “what can be done about Islam” also bemoan increased pornography consumption in young western men that also leads to a decrease in traditional heterosexual relationships and…

Here’s a protip to all you folks who want to make a Nintendo fangame: don’t talk it up, just quietly finish it and leak it straight to torrents. You’d think that after a decade of “LOOK AT MY POKEMON GAME FOR PC” followed immediately by “OMG NINTENDO JUST CALLED MY BOSS AND HAD ME FIRED AND NOW I’M HOMELESS AND IN…

Seriously? Obviously the epic cut scenes set the CDI Zelda’s apart from a rather mediocre game like SOTN.
