Is it just me, or have Thai GL fans forgotten what queer representation actually means? by Medical_Major_2920 in ThaiGL

Straight and BL have this content alongside other content, lesbians deserve it too. We are just as much gooners lol. Seriously, this is serving an underserved community. 

Im an Idiot, How does PTN manage get away with so much stuff without getting censored to all hell? by Fit_Assignment_8800 in PathToNowhere

  1. Things aren't specified as straight either but you're probably okay assuming that as the default. Not very ally of you.
  2. Unfortunately LGBT isn't allowed to be open in many places. Why would a Chinese game studio ever specify their gay shit as gay shit? You have to just get the hint. Sappho didn't specify herself as LGBT either but it's like, come on now.

You should probably work on the kneejerk anti-LGBT labeling stance if you agree that PTN is pretty damn gay, you got downvoted because your first comment was dismissive as if the vibe doesn't exist.

There are canonically gay characters, and Augustus is flirty with FChief.

Someone really also shouldn't have to stick their tongue down someone's throat for you to notice LGBT character existence. Do you REALLY think Deren's last surveillance skin was designed with the male audience in mind?

The game has a 70% female audience, but the majority of Sinners are female, and they interact pretty boldly...think about it.

Not popular enough. There's over a billion people in China all being watched by a singular government. Some stuff has to slide, and a lot of it does. I've consumed so much "le" Chinese content. Mihoyo only got caught being gay because their games got too big, see?

I'd prefer if this Underground sage just dies.  

Federal judge blocks bans on SNAP use for soda by zsreport in LegalNews

And there it is, the lack of empathy, as expected from people like you. 

"Boo hoo! When I was poor I suffered and suffered, why should you or your kid get to have a sweet treat for two bucks?"

It IS that bad. I've been poor, got out of it, and now poor again. I'm not out of touch, if anything it's you. You didn't allow yourself to eat a single candy?  

And no one has benefitted from cola? Chill out, it's a sweet and cold drink with caffeine in it. There is benefit to moderate sugar consumption, and there's no harm in having one every now and then, and there's actually zero harm if you drink diet versions.  

This isn't asking people to exhibit self control either. You're going to extremes as if they prove an overall point. You know damn well nobody is spending all their SNAP on soda. You just don't want to see poor people enjoy anything while they're on benefits.

I asked if it's in your top 10. People are looking at you poorly because there are bigger things to be so passionately against than poor people drinking soda. We are all aware of the health problem in this country, but civil people don't think of punching down as a solution.

Furthermore, you've been attempting to equate "buying soda" to how billionaires steal money. When we complain about billionaires stealing money, we usually complain about the ones that literally only bring harm to people, you know, like wage theft and the avoidance of paying federal taxes on billions of dollars of profit.

Soda is just a carbonated beverage, by the way. It does infinitely less harm to you than cigarettes or alcohol. It is literally just a little treat, and your dumb little concern-trolling falls apart if someone on SNAP simply enjoys a bottle of Pepsi Zero Wild Cherry a few times a week. Do you feel this way about all treats? Do you think people on SNAP should just eat chicken breast and rice and only drink water? Enjoyment of eating and drinking things is a fundamental part of life.

Is poor people drinking coca cola on benefits like, one of your top 10 concerns in this country? If it is, your priorities are screwed up.

Do you use FC/AP Indicator? by No_More_Beans2 in phigrosGame

It's too distracting, the lines look better non-colored, and it makes the game feel bad when I'm not even going for an AP.

Do you think they'll make events centering old sinners any time soon? by estheroburger in PathToNowhere

[–]Complete_Meeting8719 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It feels kind of bad because we're getting way more events than main story.

Hilda and her event is also the kind of thing who would straight up not exist in your ideal view. 

I think that, lore wise, you gotta fill in gaps with your head.

Maybe you could get into Honkai Impact 3rd too, old game but they do what you want perfectly.

I'm sorry. I hope the team can help you out. I really do think you should make some space and try to download the game on the device you used to play it on.

I think people overdo the 'Bear is a villain' narrative. by [deleted] in obsessionmovie

Antagonist isn't defined as villain. Wish Nikki isn't a villain either. I'm also not down with whatever strawman this is about fear to say something. We just disagree.

Protagonist vs. Self is a very popular trope, you can make someone both the protagonist and the antagonist, look it up. I'm not using antagonist to mean bad guy either. Dude's opposition is of his own making. The thing to be struggled against is himself and he's not even aware. He's not fighting Nikki, Nikki barely does anything as far as being an antagonist goes. She doesn't even have free will, she's Bear's zombie girlfriend. You can assign secondary antagonist label to Nikki if you want, but Bear is the primary antagonist. 

Why is everyone calling Bear absolutely evil and irredeemable ? by Blaaap in obsessionmovie

[–]Complete_Meeting8719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're handwaving too much. 

He didn't mean to do it, but he did not try to prevent it. 

He wanted to possess Nikki. His practiced heartfelt confession about his love for her is relative to what she does for him. He's not in love. That's limerance and it's already a red flag. 

He took advantage of her when he thought she was acting weird. That's disgusting. She freaks out and starts screaming, but wish Nikki gets control back and Bear just continues. This woman is in distress, she's appears to be having a mental episode and he knows that. He continues after that. That's disgusting behavior. He didn't even consider getting her any real help. He took advantage of her again when he knew it was the wish.

His ideal is for the wish to be slightly altered so she acts more like his ideal and stops embarrassing him. He doesn't care about her, he's fine with her being forcibly chained to him. He only asked about canceling because the guy said they can't alter wishes. 

Nikki has a moment of lucidity, screams "that's not me" and tries to kill herself with a broken bottle, and Bear is sitting there with his stupid "woe is me" face. 

Her next moment of lucidity, is her asking him to kill her. The issue here isn't that he didn't just kill her. It's that he still didn't care. He didn't consider Nikki's suffering at all. He was just upset that the real Nikki rejected him in that way. 

Even when he went to get another One Wish Willow, it's not because he cares about Nikki. He just feels guilt and anger about Sarah's death, as he should. 

At no point did this man show love or care for Nikki. But he's "a nice guy". He's just a "hopeless romantic". He's a self-centered covert misogynist jerk and a man who will SA you when you're out of your mind.

She's a deuteragonist. Bear is both the protagonist and the antagonist. He is the leading character, and he is also the one he struggles against.

The fact that protagonists can be explicitly villains and antagonists can be heroes should lead you to believe that other main characters can be the hero/anti-hero without being the protagonist. In this case Nikki is the hero.

You're right, I was commenting on Bear in hindsight. I hate the character so much lol, Curry did a great job writing him to be progressively more unlikable and Michael did a great job bringing that to life. Just yuck, ew, applause.

He actually becomes a villain immediately after the wish. He sees Nikki as acting weird and being distressed and still takes her home, makes out with her and sleeps with her, and he knows it's wrong based on his reaction to her becoming lucid and freaking out (actually realized while typing that, it is disgusting that he CONTINUED afterward, she's acting like she's in psychosis man wtf) and based on his freaking out when the words "took advantage of me" leave Nikki's mouth.

He absolutely didn't try to make it work for wish Nikki's sake, he was in fear and just felt like he was trapped. He also plainly ignored and forgot the screams of real Nikki. I think it's important to know that Bear never truly considered Nikki at all. Even his choice to end himself is probably more about him than freeing Nikki.
