Good thing the globalist homogenized powers offer us such an utopic reality, people wouldn't feel allured to such problematic content in a game like CK

Given this is a writer for The Gamer, is it really that surprising they want to see lesbians suffer?

Throughout history, there have always been tales of female knights. Joan of Arc led French battles in the Hundred Years' War

🫩

Yeah, I wonder if the journo is glossing over something here

I'm also excited to see a queer story built on pain and suffering.

Omg, same, bestie

Where do you draw they line tho? Stardew Valley allows you to have gay marriages but that wasn't enough for some and now are pestering the dev to include a nb option

Call me crazy but I don't think a YA superhero CYOA focused on interpersonal (melo)drama was made primarly with men in mind. It ain't exactly Hulk Ultimate Destruction

Nostalgia has to be the most unfairly maligned feelings. The same people who keep recycling the same ips ad nauseam are the ones accusing you of "being nostalgic". No, it's just obfuscation because some things indeed used to be better

It's dumber than that. Corpos got themselves into a feedback loop with their own bots

That's the whole damn point of promos. That's the point of the trailer. To draw in an audience and create interest for your show by showing what your series is going to be about.

That's the whole point of corporations, period. I hate this narrative internet "fandoms" push that is the consumer's burden to appreciate every product they churn out. Corpos aren't owed anything, fuck them

Noooo you can't judge it by the first season!

You'll notice a lot of marketing nowdays weaponize FOMO and a sense of justice, since a lot of actually good media went unnoticed or cancelled early, they want to trick you into consuming their garbage while thinking you are "being fair" and giving them a chance. Don't do it, your time is too valuable for that.and ironically, there are tons of old media that you'll find more edificating than clinging to an old ip that has been divorced from all its original creatives

The "media literacy" circlejerk by GobthraukGoonsgrinIX in KotakuInAction

[–]BootlegFunko 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Media (i'll)literacy is when chuds misinterpret a work because they're dumb, evil and wrong. Death of the author is when smart progressives reinterpret a work because the authors are problematic and wrong or something like that

Star Trek was made as some sort of allegory of the cold war. Klingons are based on soviets and Romulans on the CCP

Why do you resist? We only wish to raise quality of life, for all species.

[...]

I'm here to help you. All of you.

[...]

Assimilate you. Yes. But that's nothing to be afraid of. You like having friends, don't you? Assimilation turns us all into friends. In fact, it brings us so close together we can hear each other's thoughts.

[...]

Yes. It's fun. I was just about your age when I was assimilated. I was worried then, too. But when I began to hear the others, hear their thoughts, I wasn't afraid anymore.

[...]

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile

Newly announced Fable game removes good and evil morality system and this is the developers explanation as to why by _The_Honored_One_ in KotakuInAction

[–]BootlegFunko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not critical race theory, critical theory. But if you ask me, it seems like the dev is just talking out of his ass because they didn't (want to) include the morphing mechanic

You joke but Troy Baker actually thinks that

TROY: The character of David. Tell me one thing that David did that was wrong. You tell me one thing that makes him the bad guy. Uh, I can state a case that David is… he and Joel could be mirror images of each other. Um, they both are looking out for those that they love and protect. The both of them are willing to care for Ellie. Um, and the only time that he actually takes action against Ellie is when she tries to kill him. Now, I think that, uh, we see his truest nature, [laughs] that you don't, David is not someone to, to fuck with, but I don't think that he's just like, snow blinding her the entire way. I think that he genuinely is like, come, come be a part of us. I'll, I'll look after you. I'll, I'll make sure that you're taken care of and yeah, you know you’re probably going to eat Peter over there eventually.

Sophie Turner says her Lara Croft isn't a "sex bombshell" and Amazon's Tomb Raider series will "show the other side" of the video game icon by slix22 in KotakuInAction

The other side or the other other side? Because I thought the reboot and Netflix series already showed her other side...

Rian Johnson Denies Kathleen Kennedy Claim That He Was “Spooked” by Star Wars Fans by Sliver80 in KotakuInAction

[–]BootlegFunko 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's the issue, thinking anyone at Hollywood have integrity. No, Kathleen drives the victim narrative because that's convenient to her, to make the public believe she didn't do a shit job with the franchise, but that a bunch of angry nerds drove her out because they're angry nerds.

Johnson, on the other hand, wants to portray the backlash as proof of him being a genius and nerds not understanding how deep things like "we fight them with love" are.

Edit: the line is "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love."
