I don’t necessarily know if I agree with that. It felt scummy to me as a player and it was scummy to Cloud and Aerith, hence their attempt to rescue Tifa before they learn she is there to try and get information from Corneo.

Shut up

Hot take. Linearity isn’t inherently a bad thing.

These people are supposed to be the scumbag dirt of the slums. If the scumbags don’t act like scumbags doesn’t that kind of ruin the feel of a dangerous slums?

The very creepy, very rapey thing? The thing they were exactly trying to show, because the crimeboss doing the creepy thing was clearly accused of only wanting the prettiest girls for his own pleasure? How would you suggest they show it? Have the disgusting man be very courteous and gentleman-like? 

Also “Watching this person who doesn’t know or care about me and is mostly only affable so I’ll give them money feels like hanging out with a friend” is creepy as fuck.

FYI... this is a more ubiquitous issue than the author may understand. This is not just an issue about refugees and/or migrant children or other people in desperate situations that come to the US to give birth. I lived in China for years and worked for super wealthy people, dozens of which traveled to the US at 6…

It seems that no one has been able to find any real data concerning how common or real “birth tourism” actually is

The ABSOLUTE worst Trek episode of all time was “Darmok”. A culture that had to communicate in metaphor would never develop the scientific method, and would be trapped in the stone age

perhaps Nintendo’s reluctance revolves around a fear of creating a divide between casual and competitive players

“’It’s not that we’re opposed to it. So that our games can be widely enjoyed by anyone regardless of experience, gender, or age, we want to be able to participate in a wide range of different events.’”

I don’t get why the school uniform in particular is bad. D.va’s always looked like a projection of male sexual fantasies to me.

Ya I know they should have totally kept her in the skin tight latex suit she normally wears... 

I can't believe people take video game cosmetics this seriously, but here we are.

If a game or developer does not align with your politics and you feel strongly about it, then don’t buy the game. By all means, take a stand. Sign an online petition stating that you’re not buying the game because it fails to give equal representation to women. If you want to enact real change and enough people feel…
