I was referring to the delivery, rather than the content. A Modest Proposal is the least heavy-handed delivery imaginable.

The best satire doesn’t have to be subtle, it has to be earnest. If you think that “the Irish should eat their babies if they’re so hungry” is subtle, then you might want to either recalibrate your scale for subtlety or seriously reevaluate your view on the Irish.

This isn’t Kotaku’s fault. The song was written and performed by C+C Music Factory with Martha Wash (half of the Weather Girls, aka, “It’s Raining Men”) as uncredited vocals on that song (also a bit of irony considering this clip).

Now playing

C+C Music Factory’s ‘Gonna Make You Sweat’

Maybe now we can say that Meritocracy is the biggest lie of humanty...

At this point I assume these movies must be some sort of producers level money grab.   Or whatever licensing agreement Sony has with Marvel requires releases constantly and they are just forced to put any script they have into production.

Want the best part of this? It is the same writer, the story is made by the same person that worked on Morbius. They literally rewarded mediocrity

They should outsource the final season to a Filipino studio, so the quality of the animation looks noticeably shittier. Would be a bizarre callback only the older crowd would get. But so worth it.

As a young woman, for me, it was Samus Aran — and very specifically, the divinely muscular and purple-haired Samus Aran from the early/mid-’90s gaming magazines and guides. Oh my goodness yes.

yeah I really really liked Hades.

“Hades is super gay.”

Someone who is non-binary is transgender though, as they are not the gender they were assigned at birth. Transgender is not itself a gender.

“From my perspective”

I’d be interested in seeing a more intelligent data gathering approach for a more realistic picture.

Why are we filtering out sexual content? 

2% seems reasonable when you think about it; Out of 258 games in my Steam library; only <10% have narratives that I would say exhibit/involve the character’s sexuality. It just doesn’t come up in most games, it’s just flavor text, or is left completely ambiguous. Who is my fighter in Sifu attracted to?; I’m too busy

The Venn diagram of dudes who say “keep that gay stuff out of my games/movies/TV shows/etc” and the dudes who love nothing more than to watch two chicks make out (or more) is the most perfect circle the world has ever seen.

Games should be enjoyed by as many people as possible, there’s no doubt about that.

this was my thinking as well. What is required for that tag to be added? I would think that bar is high. Wonder needs to get this tag.

And then I went checking on steam, and found out the most highly ‘rated’ game with LGBTQ+ tag is... SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS

I’m out.. I don’t even know anymore.

She has repeatedly self identified as a terf. Like, I don’t know how you missed it, but hey. You seem to believe whatever you want to.
