Eh, I don’t think most of them are thinking that long term. I think the games they like are part of their identity, and they see attacks on the companies who make those games— however justified— as attacks on them as a person. That’s why they are so hostile towards game developer employees talking about how terrible…

Actually it can be as long as those two moves are exact to the original set. See Sampling in musical composition. Also two entire moves in a dance do not equate to two notes in a song.

Oh hey it’s you again with the bad Fornite dance opinion. Glad you showed up to this one too.

It’s not that it’s a specifically Black person thing—Latinos do it too—but more that, it’s specifically a very weird part of middle class and upper class “White people culture” to look down on people who ask or eat leftovers.

It’s not about using the dance. It’s about SELLING the dance as add-on content without giving proper credit and compensation.

this is the epitome of white owned corporations stealing black culture appropriating and monetizing it.  this reminds me of the Twerking Santa figurine.  its disgusting.

I’ve been dancing for 20 years now and a lot of what I’m reading here is a little misguided, it’s totally possible to create new movement. You could argue the same with using lines, shape and colour on a canvas by this logic, yet you can copyright image. A lot of the fortnite dances don’t only take the basic movement,…

Just waiting to see “You cant copyright a dance” commented and up-voted by a bunch of people who cant dance, or are learning to dance on Fortnite.

Fuck off.

YOU. CANT. OWN. A. DANCE.

I hate to say it but, that not actually true, since the 1970s. You just copyright it as choreography.

That’s like saying you can’t own a song, cause we all have voices. Can’t own a book, cause we all have fingers to write. Can’t own a game, cause can all type code. Absurd argument.

God, that’s exasperating. OW players are so damn stupid about playing support, which means there’s a gaping hole for players like me to jump in, but the utter lack of appreciation that’s so vocal is the DUMBEST SHIT. One of my biggest pet peeves is players calling out for healing when they’re in the middle of fire,…

Yeah, totally ... total dude-bro, frat shit ... they’re always doing culturally specific rituals and dances.

Ehhh.

I’m with you on the “old Spanish map would use names that would be used by the Spanish at that time,” angle.

The “hypersensitivity” thing, though, I think you could stand to reexamine. Given the way the Koreans were treated by the Japanese during WW II, I’d say there’s some pretty good reason for the lengthy and…

At this point you “supporters” are just being nitpicky. We get that Fallout is your favorite series but when you have to hammer on the fact that some people don’t think it has problems, it looks petty.

Agreed, call it out. Shun is gay and he is the most bad ass character in the series.

We’re sort of dancing around it, but maybe we should say it.

Ehrgeiz was a Namco game, Square just published the PS1 port.
