The accusations were blown out of proportion more by the media and the general internet than the accuser.
Many , on social media, who just decided he was icky without reading the details of anything

It literally got to the point she was telling people “uhh no, people... he did not rape me”.

I quite liked this summary of the story on the Eurogamer article which was written rather poorly, shame the sources got cut by the comment’s automod.

Cases like these are hard to look at subjectively because you want to believe victims when they come forward, but you also want to prevent false accusations. I am not sure in this case which is true now.. they stated he did it, lost, and now state he didn’t do it. The thing that bothers me the most about this, is once…

Relevant Miyazaki quote from 1988.

Shit like this game allows people to pretend they’re making a difference and so they inject an unhealthy dose of moral superiority into their already overinflated egos. They claim it’s about trans rights but they won’t actually lift a finger in any way that actually makes a difference. Not buying the game is easy.…

It’s very easy activism. You don’t have to do anything. Just don’t buy a game.

For those who wish to play the game without enriching Rowling: buy a physical used copy from a non-professional reseller (or an independent game store who deserves your money). EA/Rowling see not dime one from such a purchase. Even better, if your local library has games to borrow, borrow the game from there. In both…

Some people have made it their entire identity to attack people who are planning to play this game as bigots or bigot enabling and I just can’t with these people. I’ve donated a not-insignificant amount of my time and money to progressive candidates but im going to enjoy creative mediums and I separate art from…

I can tell by your sentence (and thought) construction that you are either very young or very ignorant. Maybe both? Or perhaps English is not your first language. Regardless, your views are at the very least illogical.

Oh please it’s his views being vomited all over his store page that got him shit canned. He was also given a warning prior to this by Valve that the store page was not the place for his personal brand of garbage.

You seem to be missing the entire problem.

Most game-devs are just a part of a team working on a game, whereas in this case the guy was the sole developer, so that alone makes it quite a different case. Secondly, whatever feelings and thoughts one harbors in their mind is one thing and them making those feelings and thoughts known publicly to the rest of the…

Before the MAGA cult starts whining about the First Amendment:

I like that they all had boat theming, like the full extent of thought behind this was “what if LITERALLY Sailor Moon?”

If American Sailor Moon had become popular in the states, imitators would have rushed to do the same thing with Ronin Warriors, so some of the coolest toys I’d ever played with would have become famous instead of an obscure gimmick from days gone by.

If American Sailor Moon was picked up and became a smash hit, I feel that it wouldn’t necessarily change the way America embraces anime today, but it may have taken a few years longer for anime to hit mainstream in the U.S. While it is true that Sailor Moon wasn’t the first anime series to receive an English dub and…

I had the opposite reaction where I just could not look away or stop laughing. When Sailor Moon makes her appearance, I just started guffawing and could not stop.

Is there a word for when something makes you want to cry and puke at the same time, while also looking for the fastest way to lobotomize yourself?

What a way to get into anime. Akira does summarize 90s anime well enough even if it was from the 80s.

In 1994 I didn’t even know Sailor Moon, or anime, was a thing.
