Every single time, there's always some douchebag with the my so-and-so's were immigrants and they learned English!

Exactly, and I'm saying that's the right way to think. Your cultural relativistic bullshit stance is "it's part of their culture, so we should accept it." We absolutely should not. Any right thinking person should think that sexualized images of young teens or pre-teens is fucked up. We don't live in the middle ages…

Cultural relativism is bullshit. Are there things to be appreciated in every culture? Of course. Is everything about every culture admirable? Fuck, no. There are things you can point to as being objectively messed up, and Japan's borderline pedophilic depiction of young female characters in their games and anime is…

Cue the obligatory white dude rage.

But that's also true of the person who did the spoiling. They can't know whether or not they are spoiling something for someone.

The only problem I have with VLC, and admittedly this is a very minor quibble that will not affect the vast majority of users, is that .smi subtitle files will display properly. Almost all Korean language subtitle files are in this format and I use them when watching Korean movies so I can practice reading and attempt…

You mean things that happened in TV shows or a movie months or even years ago? This is exactly what everybody is saying. The Red Wedding happened over a year ago, Breaking Bad ended almost 4 months ago, and Serenity was released in 2005. Oh, it was spoiled for you? Tough shit. Knowing these things doesn't actually…

Because that's on you to avoid if you really care about it that much. Other people can't know whether or not you've seen something, and it's not their responsibility to make sure that they don't spoil anything for you.

I just thought the controls were really imprecise and Monkey just felt sort of floaty. It never really felt like you had total control over what he was doing. And, I spent as much time fighting the camera as any enemy on screen. I did really enjoy the story, but I just couldn't put up with the gameplay long enough to…

In a very similar situation, regarding the age of coworkers anyway. In my late 20s and all of my coworkers are in their late 30s to late 50s. All married with kids. Hell, some of them have kids that are my age. No socializing with any of them after work.

I found the boss battles challenging as well. Mostly because the camera was ass and I couldn't see where I was being attacked from half the time, though. The story was interesting, but technically, the game was a mess.

I love how whenever this comes up, you always get idiots saying, "It happened so long ago, why don't these people get over it?" as if history has no bearing on how the current world works. And, when it involves anime it's typically weeabos who actually know nothing about Japan beyond what they've seen in anime. I…

Yeah, it's almost like the vast majority of professional chefs on the planet aren't men.

Yeah, I love how they always conveniently forget to mention that most of these people who win these cars can't afford to actually keep them.

I came here to say this exact thing. I'm glad everybody else hasn't lost their minds. How the hell is With a Vengeance worse than Die Harder or Live Free or Die Hard?

What is that supposed to be, a variation of the "I have black friends, I can't be racist" defense?"

I've never known anybody here who plays Tekken on a console. They usually go play in the darker arcades that aren't designed for couples on dates. I will usually just stand around and watch them, and realize that trying to play would just be a waste of money.

In actual Korea, iPhones are a huge deal. You see people with them everywhere. In many cases, ethnic diasporas are more protective of what they consider to be a "pure" form of their culture because you need to be.

Most linguists consider Korean to be a language isolate, and the view that it's part of the Altaic family is fairly controversial. At least it was the last time I read about this stuff. I think you could attribute most of the lexical similarities to common root words in Chinese or just geographical proximity. That…

I can't speak for the Japanese side of it, but xenophobic/racist sentiments in Korea toward Japan is definitely not something that is created by the media. It is very real, and that shit starts young. That won't go away until everybody who was alive during the occupation or children of people of who were alive during…
