“If you choose to kill indiscriminately and take pleasure in doing so, you have to own that choice and accept the consequences. If you’re not comfortable with the world you see at the end, then that should tell you something.”

In all fairness I think some of the annoyance with indie titles on PS+ is the extent to which they have all been 2-d side-scrollers, top-down shooters, or 16-bit throwbacks lately. I personally would love to see a game like this, Hand of Fate, White Night, etc on PS+

Blues and Bullets deserves more attention and I’m stoked to see its making its way to Playstation. More people need to play it.

Listen, defending the crappy pay/personnel practices of videogame companies is dumb. No one is denying that. However, as someone who is a fellow for the ICMA (International City-County Management Association), and whose job it is to look at this, the idea that 53k is not a livable wage in most areas is not true.

(I apologize in advance for the novel and lack of proof reading. I used to be pretty involved in sociology/psychology work and I love talking about this stuff).

In your original comment here you say the reason Quiet is sexist is because she was designed by a dude in order to titillate dudes. That is a critique that says sexualization is what was wrong with Quiet.

You’re 100% right though that sexualization in of itself is not the problem, the macro-level disparity in…

I think what I was getting at with the hodge-podge comment is what you just said, Master of None tries to address a mix of different ideas about social justice, often times doing a “Point A, now Point B, now back to Point A” framework within a particular episode.

The tropes I guess comes in from how it uses characters…

The funny thing is that if you take a look at the crowd reviews of this at GoodReads, it seems like its taking more heat for being problematic/sexist, than trying too hard to be socially just.

You just can’t win anymore.

It is a little heavy handed and a hodge-podge at times of a bunch of different “empowering” tropes, but so is Master of None and that’s praised.

I realize media criticism is subjective, but after seeing a bunch of negative reviews on Goodreads about how this take is problematic, I can honestly say the rubric for…

I honestly don’t think this argument makes as much sense as people think. A fictional character can’t have agency outside of the fiction they are created in; any sexualized female character created by a man (or woman since internalized sexism is a thing) for the purpose of being sexually appealing is going to be…

Here’s a link to what they are claiming is her profile on Eros.com, an escort site. Based on the tattoos, it either is her or a photoshop/fake Eros.com profile based on her: http://archive.is/lqMz7

Considering you can see an article from Polygon, posted after the fact that she was fired for having a second job was revealed, going with the narrative that this was a bad decision on Nintendo’s part and damaging for future harassment cases, I feel like maybe if the second job was escorting than that would be…
