It’s kind of rich for Japanese media to take issue with depictions of other nations’ WWII war crimes.

“Don’t mention the war!” 

I think Warner should apologize if Japan agrees to finally apologize for WWII. I mean, that seems fair, they couldn’t be that petty right? 

This makes Elon look much cooler than he deserves, honestly.

I though it was debunked that Kojima ever criticised TLOU2, though a FB page using his company name did. It wouldn’t make much sense either considering Kojima has produced equally explicitly violent scenes in his own games (the scene where Quiet tries to cut that soldier’s tongue out and extracts one of his teeth…

Ok. 

I don’t know about this. I really doubt intimacy coordinators can really stop a bear from doing what it wants if it decides to go off script.

I think you might be projecting a bit. Everyone I know who saw it for the first time as an adult (I was in my early twenties the first time I saw it, myself) also loved it. I simply can’t agree with this take. You don’t have to like it but don’t assume you understand other people’s enjoyment of it anywhere near well…

FLCL wasn’t “deep”, it was never meant to be, it was just a fun, tight, and relatable story with some amazing direction and great music from a team of rising animation stars trying to figure out the next generation of of their artform. The whole thing was one big experiment of throwing Gainax money at a developing a…

Man I don’t know I have rewatched the OG FLCL numerous times over the  years and IMO it’s still great.  The sequels though have been pretty bad, it’s just had to capture what made the OG one so good.

A few days ago i commented on some guide article about how this website sure has changed and someone replied “elaborate”. And well... now this happened.

I thought this would be a “face reveal” about the artist behind the Vtuber being revealed IRL, but it’s just...the animated hair is slightly not over their animated eyes for a moment?

Wait, so it’s not even the face reveal of the person PORTRAYING the VTuber, but the face of the avatar itself that was revealed? And people went apeshit for it and copied it on fucking TT. Which, by the way, thanks as always for the unskippable embedded TT video in the article.

“Because the internet loves to bully others online”

Jesus, as if I don’t already have a continuous reminder that people are idiots and the internet has not turned out like the creators thought.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this industry needs space for failure. When the only path forward is a safe bet, we get homogenized, sterile work only. 

Best: It’s been a pretty good year for gaming.

Shipping culture is one of the worst and most toxic parts of the primal cesspit that is fandom.

If Nintendo wanted to avoid articles like this, it would have been very easy to do so.

I just can’t understand fans inability to believe 2 character can just be friends.  Like EVERY friendship seems like it MUST be a sexual relationship, it’s just strange, and a little creepy.
