It says Scott Pilgrim on the package - no one enjoys having the old switcheroo on the main protagonist. That’s 101 stuff, guys

Scott Pilgrim literally took off though. Regular Scott left, albeit not intentionally, when he was kidnapped by Old Scott. Old Scott left Ramona because he felt rejected.

Bro, you’re fighting to defend the honor of fucking... He-Man.

It’s the fact that it’s EVERY. SINGLE. Franchise and adaptation.

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist”

do you know in the Akira movie, Akira isn’t in it at all and is in fact, DEAD! Yet some how, he’s still relevant to the story! Crazy!

And yet you still wrote multiple paragraphs about why you’re mad about it.

The thing is that you “angry white guys” also react this way to comics that had “strong female characters” and “LGBT stories” from the beginning. Like Scott Pilgrim. Which first came out in 2004.

The 2010 movie came out too soon to include one LGBT storyline, and minimized the other because of time constraints. That’s…

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist. They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”.”

The anime was about Scott Pilgrim. He just wasn’t the main character.

But the show is about Scott Pilgrim? Did you actually watch it?

“They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”

Oh come on. As a straight white man, absolutely none of those stories with female or minority or LGBTQ even remotely feel like an “attack”. You know why? Because I’m a well adjusted…

Nah, it was actually great, and a majority of the criticism comes from people who can’t process stories they don’t immediately relate to.

listen, i’ll take literally any of these if they can add it to Armored Core 6... PVP is nearly unplayable for anyone who isn’t really good

having some asshat yelling “get good” profanities

There’s definitely *some* nuance to the SBMM discussion but I always cannot get over the mental image of like...the trope of some noble lord/lady getting bored so they dress up in rags to go slumming it and see what wild antics The Poors get up to in their life.

/pushesUpNerdGlasses Actually SF6 and almost any 1 v 1 PvP games do a better job because there are far fewer variable when you just pit 1 person’s skill against another and not need to create a team of people who all have different skills and playstyles.

“if I’m playing a no-stakes match to unwind after work”

I often see higher-skill players saying things like “I don’t want all my matches to be sweaty matches.” But at the same time, this is a choice lower-skill players often don’t even have - if you’re in the bottom 10% or whatever, every match is going to be hard fought because there simply aren’t “easy” matches for you…

No, I don’t.
What I understand is it will always be a contentious subject when it comes to competitive team-based multiplayer games where you are primarily playing with random people.
