As somebody who experienced SA at a young age, I understand and echo that feeling 100%. I would love so much to just be able to take everyone at their words.... but unfortunately I feel like we live in an age where it’s more like “Trust, but verify.”
Most cases are legitimate, but fortunately there are sometimes the…

The main issue with AI is that it doesn’t credit artists at all. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but I feel like they should only use public domain works, not stuff that’s already copyrighted. then it wouldn’t raise hackles so much. In fact, there’s plenty of public domain animation styles out there…

yeah, the American sailor moon one is kind of... forgettable. if I didn’t know about Sailor Moon back then I would’ve said that they were trying to rip off She-ra or something.
I mean— She-ra’s got the long blond hair, the tiara thing, etc... all American Sailor Moon did was remove the wings from the tiara thing and…

I know, right? I assumed that this was just one of those things that Jezebel article writers sometimes overreact to, and that he just made a one-off gaffe. you know, to give him the benefit of the doubt even though I normally don’t like the dude. But the more it went on, the worse it got! AAAAA!!
calling himself his…

I’d agree with you there, there was definitely something wrong with the man. Dude kept on insisting that he wasn’t doing it in real life, that it was just a online kink thing he was indulging in and that there was nothing wrong with it. Normally, I’d agree that there was nothing wrong with fictional stuff because you…

Same. I can see where both are coming from. from Keanu’s POV I can understand not really caring about the creep factor because it’s not like you’re really “there” in person and you’re basically making money off your own likeness. it’s like being an porn star without having to do all the work. getting rich off being a…

 holographic eyes?

Pink grass? Looks purple to me.

huh. I always honestly thought that they were simply too lazy to program heterosexuality and sex preferences into the game so they just left it wide open so that the sims would date anybody they wanted as long as they were the right age. You know, to save time on programming.
It always seems like all of my sims had no…

you’d have a point there if it was a free-to-play MMO with some paid gambling system on the side aka loot boxes. But it’s actually a paid subscription game... one that actually requires you to pay up to 60 dollars upfront for the first month.
If I’m paying 60 plus 15 dollars a month then damn right I want the game to…

Eh, while I think there can be shrill people out there who are constantly offended at everything they see, I still think there’s a place for things like trigger warnings.

I have days where I’m perfectly fine reading a rape scene in a book without having an aneurism over it. But then there are days when I’m not mentally…

I agree with most of your general point that you were going for.
However... with some sexist games, sometimes you have to wonder about the developers and the mentality they had at the time, should they make something that was actually really, really sexist as hell.

For example, suppose they made a medieval tavern wench…

The cynic in me wonders if these two people are actually genuine victims, or if they were like the parents of all the other kids who just wanted to cash in. I remember there being recordings of one father bragging about how rich he was going to be, etc, and that he was apparently lying about MJ molesting his son. his…

I’m with you on that one. I was somewhat let down with some features, such as the building thing, but I’ve been enjoying exploring west Virginia. And I hear that they’re going to slowly add in features such as allowing us to scrap rubble, etc, so that we can finally clean up the places that we want to build in.
and I…

 I kinda want to try it. I mean, I love both pringles and ramen. It could be done right. But then again, they might not even get the flavor right.

 throw in a healthy measure of “Whataboutism” and you have racist people in a nutshell.

Yes. I was responding to the guys’ claims of what happened, because you know those idiots believe a screenshot more than they do the words of a developer. You, on the other hand, apparently don’t know how to write a post that isn’t rude or condescending. bye now.

yeah, but we’re going by the assumption that those guys honestly believed that screenshot and not the developers themselves. (which is admittedly a stupid thing to do). so this is just my response to them if they ever read my post.

  I agree that not everything has two reasonable sides. But I did point out that if those guys really wanted a historically accurate game, then erasing all the women wasn’t going to do that. Because you know, real history did have women participating in those wars in one way or the other. So....

Yeah, but if you point out that in a historically accurate game there would still be women participating in wars... because that’s what really happened in real life despite history books focusing only on men?
  Then they’ll have to admit that they don’t actually want a historically accurate game as so much as they…
