“champing at the bit.”

Is there any particular reason whoever buys the rights wouldn’t be able to hire Vikander for the lead? I imagine her fee’s gone up, so they probably wouldn’t, but I’d think they could, or am I wrong?

she’s not a he! hope that helps!

Everyone. Delete your gd battlenet already. Are you sick of these articles? Feeding them more money and playing their old, tired ass IPs allows them to continue their stupid shit.

The answer to all of your questions is: social conditioning and some people’s inability to free themselves from it.

it’s interesting how we’ve sort of regressed when it comes to gender stereotypes. The character is literally a male with long hair. That’s it. There’s not much radical about this. They’re not trans. Or gay. Or nonbinary or whatever. And everyone’s losing their mind. 

Isn’t Jules a transwoman? 

Okay but that really doesn’t speak towards this particular character. That being said this is a larger issue in Otaku culture generally speaking, and has been in the past for underage gym leaders.

Also the /vp/ thread referenced is just pure hatred and bigotry, as one might expect from 4chan. I wish I hadn’t seen it.

They can be all ages. Hell, one of the originals (Surge) is a military lieutenant. 

Aren’t most gym leaders canonically children? This is a little weird, Sisi. That being said I’m supportive and possess flexible gender and sexuality, but all this sexualizing of the gym leaders is just gross.

It was Kim Kardashian.  It’s not like Lindsay Lohan where if you say her name out loud too many times she reappears like a cold sore.  You can openly hate on Kardashians.

also the comments on the trailer post I thought were pretty pleasant, just mentioned her accent is present but doesn’t mean she won’t do Monroe justice.

Considering how antagonistic we are toward the writers, editors, and executives, I’m just amazed it didn’t happen sooner. But I think it’d be great if it all just turned into a long-term game of comradely snarking.

C’mon. We need more railway puns.

Are you... seriously arguing that $10k isn’t enough to get off the street? Do you think people who are homeless are permanently incapable of earning money? What is this, actually?

There’s a good waqy and a bad, bad way to do this.

“I spent $100,000 to skip over all of the game’s grind.”

Just wanted to point out how this aged like milk under the sun:

Even when you’re a Whale the chances of being happy with a Gacha Game aren’t all that good.
