won't someone please think of the millionaire professional internet asshole? 😭😭😭

the massive discrepancy between Pokemon Platinum and Diamond+Pearl surprises me.

so, they dont want to trivialize the experiences of people who have survived school shootings and the families who lost members in school shootings. and therefore, theyre going to try to, as best as they can, perfectly replicate those traumatic situations in a... video game? am i understanding that correctly?

I'm not sure how to break this to you, but... streamers are intertwined with video game culture, and have been for nearing a decade now.

I can't believe this MMO about colonialism would make for such a hostile and shitty community. absolute shocker.

“why are people upset that bad things are spreading to new avenues, when bad things are already extant?”

maybe you shouldn't be such a bootlicker for a multi-million dollar company,and lighten up.

no - the warning says the game “*may* include references to unwanted advances, stalking, and other forms of emotional manipulation” (emphasis mine). considering those themes apparently are a mandatory part of experiencing the story, and not optional as “may include”would imply, the content warning does indeed seem to…

she's not real bro, so why does it bother you so much if people consider her Black? get over it.

please cry more about it, and maybe I’ll change my mind.

it’s really pathetic how many gamers freak out over the barest forms of representation for Black folks. “UM ACTUALLY SHE ISNT EVEN HUMAN. UM THERE’S NO BLACK PEOPLE IN JAPAN. UM WHY DOES HER RACE MATTER?”

well, what would you call it?

you have no idea what it’s like to be targeted by thousands, tens of thousands, of nigh-anonymous strangers say the worst things they can muster about you. nor do you understand how much worse it can be when you live your life even partially in the public’s view, with all the vulnerabilities and insecurities you end…

Hammer the A button during the crafting animation! It speeds it up and reduces the time it takes to complete something by, at my estimate, about half.

what moronic bullshit.

the f-slur wasn’t invented to target homosexual men - it had an original meaning, but eventually was used in a specific way, for long periods of time, until it developed another meaning.

so, it’s almost as if, the meaning of words isn’t static, and changes with how people use them. and it’s almost as if words that…

you mean like...i’ve been using and you whined about? man, video games really do rot your brain, huh?

didn’t you just try to make some snide point about how we actually shouldn’t use the word “violence”? keep it up bud! very consistent and good points you’re raising in defense of not reducing the usage of a term steeped in real-world violence and genocide!

you mean at the very end? after it also said, “Put the dictionary down. Hands where I can see ‘em. Is the word savage inherently offensive? Technically, no. But the word “savage” has a weighty history. And look, a lot of that history is racist as fuck.” ?

another great and very smart point! well done!

very smart and good point! well done! definitely comparable things, buddy!
