The same team’s depiction of Batman in Justice League was likewise amazing. He functioned as a part time member whose primary focus was still Gotham, so he would go on ridiculous intergalactic adventures, then come back down to earth and head right back to detective work. It works because there’s a sense that Batman…

Is it just me, or is plush Blanka legit one of the best designs for Blanka?

Um. It’s hand drawn anime minors, they’re very clearly distinguishable from an actual real life human minor. It’s the same reason Grand theft auto doesn’t qualify as a snuff film.

Yeah but we also play murder games all the time. There’s a market demand for games that let you do virtual awful things that you wouldn’t do in real life, and it’s buyers aren’t necessarily terrible people for it. Reality and fantasy aren’t the same, after all.

Honestly? Borderline pedophiles that need a virtual outlet for their fetishes, as opposed to committing actual assault. I can see a pretty reasonable market for it if it’s only sold in av/fetish shops. Unrated is about right for something like this to keep regular game shops from stocking it.

But big platforms are what allows them to expand, they can’t grow if confined to their own echo Chambers, that’s why they come to Facebook and Reddit to spread their causes.

Thats a bit dangerous thinking, no? The solution to preventing terrible people from gaining power shouldn’t be to actively compromise with terrible demands. And it’s a bit odd to think that shit started inexplicably going downhill during Obama’s term when a lot of the most significant financial crisises in recent US…

Like the article said, trolling is nearly indistinguishable from the actual tactics that serious Nazi groups use to normalize actual hate. Guessing what percentage of the crowd is actually trolling vs seriously into hate is a crapshoot, and there’s no doubt that the trolling is accomplishing what actual Nazi…

Well okay we’re at no risk of losing entire restaurants, Japanese culture is prudish at most, not neurotic about being filmed. Worst thing that can happen is that these guys permanently damage the reputations of foreigners overseas and Japan starts barring foreigners from restaurants. Which is also bad.

The restaurant can’t control the cleaniness of the camera, it could be rolled around in muck for all they know. He needs to demonstrate that his camera is clean before this was acceptable, but that would require asking permissions which he clearly didn’t do.

Filming other people without permission is a serious problem with legal consequences in a whole lot of places, including the west, and Japan is stricter about privacy.

But that’s because dark souls isn’t clunky, it’s finely tuned to a very satisfying, but slower rhythm. Learn to work with it and combat starts getting very fluid and exciting. That’s why Lords of the fallen never got much attention as a dark souls clone, because if the tuning of motions to visuals to controls isn’t…

Yeah but the male diversity is still much better, you’ve got the huge guys, the muscled soldier guys, slim guys, a dwarf, a fat guy, junkrat’s scarecrow looking deal, several robot dudes, and literally a gorilla.

It’s not completely non understandable, I could make the argument that video game cosmetics are more convenient and less expensive than real life cosmetics and don’t clutter up your space, and real life is as first person as it gets. Depending on lifestyle, one may use overwatch cosmetics more frequently than real…

If you are in a public space, interacting with people who haven’t explicitly agreed to maintain privacy, you are in public. That’s it, that’s the line. The entire internet is a public space. You don’t get to hide behind anonymity. If you show up to a basketball court in a mask to protect your identity, you are still…

To be fair, the entire Twitch business model is designed around people who will pay for cheap and convenient indirect interaction, it depends on people who would rather watch other people play games and talk instead of hosting their own games or going to an arcade. The desire for convenient indirect titillation is not…

I sense a disturbance, like thousands of Kingdom Hearts fans just winced at once, then retreated back into denial.

Street fighter is so weird for me because R.Mika is one of my favorite sexualized characters and cammy is one of my least favorites, since one of them so obviously come from a sexualized background and the other not at all. When they announced that they were toning down the fan service on both of them I was literally…

Makes entire discussion about Bayonetta being an nuanced appreciable piece of art regardless of flaws.
