Have any of these people stopped to consider that maybe it’s not the character but the player that is wearing it? I don’t play Overwatch anymore but as a Chinese American I liked having all my characters (Pharah, Roadhog & Symmetra) wearing Chinese garb because I am in fact Chinese.  Should I only have to play Mei…

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

Dave Baustista would be good as Ganondorf. He’s got the physical presence, can act with depth and nuance, and would be a fun actor to include

as only humans make art

Did this really warrant an article..? People have been able to draw Kirby doing inappropriate things ever since the character was created. AI tools just make it easier, just like Photoshop and countless other tools have streamlined image creation and editing over the years.

Maybe, but it’s just as likely IMO that she cluelessly walked into Best Buy (or sent a similarly clueless minion) and let them pick one.

Meanwhile, Hanako has been waiting at Embers for damn near 3 years

It wasn’t really my thought, but I’ve seen other people say it on multiple other articles, because he literally covers them in shots of his Tate-looking avatars, and this one in particular, that note resonated.

EDIT: I feel like it’s also worth noting that he is self-evidently obsessed with showing this dude off. The…

Phil Spencer is the worst part of modern gaming. And that's saying something. 

Huh. I’d love them to buy Nintendo. Nintendo is really shitty to its fans and won’t release any of their titles outside their platform, so it really can’t get any worse.

won’t release any of their titles outside their platform

I would hate for them to buy Nintendo. First of all, "their success lies off their hardware" means they would kill the Switch and move things onto Xbox. Second of all, no I can't argue this anymore it's just too awful to consider 

Holy shit, just when I thought I couldn’t dislike Phil Spencer any more.

Dude’s idea of success is ‘buy all the competition’ rather than, you know, actually investing in his own developers to make better games.  Sure buddy, try to buy the company that has consistently trounced the shit out of you in console sales…

They wouldn’t. It’s a guy spouting off a pipe dream. 

In the lowest graphical mode, there is a small video of Dan Aykroyd in the corner in a ghostbusters uniform tracing old spider man covers.  

4. Nintendo keeps paying him for the rest of his life, and in turn they can protect the character and IP by saying “No Charles, you can’t go on a fan game project to voice ‘an Italian plumber’ -character” and “No Charles, you can’t go on a podcast and say raunchy things in your iconic Mario voice.”

It’s a vague “keep him on payroll to try to minimize fan backlash to recasting” thing.

For a website that regularly spotlights cosplaying women it seems a little weird to basically demean them as “fluff”. I’m sure the hundreds of hours they spent on their costumes and makeup didn’t seem like “fluff” to them.

At this point, you should’ve just copy/pasted the same report of the last few years…

“Tidus isn’t really the main character of Final Fantasy X—Yuna is.”
