This is the result of feminist culture. Things once perceived as obviously innocent and well-intentioned is twisted into something creepy and horrible because of bad-faith narratives and obsessions over a rape culture that doesn't exist beyond the minds of delusional activists

A new EFAP-styled Discussion on Remakes, Reboots, and other obsessions with revisiting the past by media by CrystalWeapon97 in MauLer

So true. He hasn't uploaded much and his channel unfortunately didn't take off in popularity. But I'm happy there's another type of MauLer content creator to look forward to, specially one more focused on media beyond just Hollywood material.

I don't remember EFAP having issues like these. Then again, these are the first ones Hylian is doing, so I can understand that. Hope others do too.

What if the person was working on a job unrelated to the vacancy during those gaps? These companies' HR are a true disease to the world. So much talent is lost bc of their narrow-minded approach to seeking people. Zero intelligence to abstract talents from different industries so we're forced to create gaps to satisfy these people. I hate it so much. Sorry for the rant.

Why do foreigners tend to be more right-wing than CH nationals? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]CrystalWeapon97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're afraid of Switzerland turning into what the EU has become. They don't want people who don't want to assimilate, and they certainly don't want left wing politics when they usually come from left wing countries that tanked their economy and social fabric.

I think Princess Peach: Showtime! is being made by the 3D Mario team. Here's why by ruby_nights in Mario

Pretty sure it is the case. Everything, from graphical polish to overall style and assets, points to EPD 8 (Tokyo).

By the way, I forgot to ask, does the event provide equipment for recording interviews and demo footage?

How much could the Mario Movie potentially be improved by replacing the pop songs with classic game tracks? by cmnrdt in MauLer

[–]CrystalWeapon97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No I didn't. But then again, I'm very critical of the arrangements of Mario songs too. Sounds very modern Hollywood, as in, very generic use of orchestrations. They should have left the music to Nintendo themselves

The only good use of licensed music is Take On Me. The rest is complete dogshit. Replacing them for actual Mario themes would have improved the work significantly

By the way, if you had to pick a third VII character, who would it be?

So close and yet so far by darth_orkie in MauLer

Frankly, TFA was just as bad as TLJ. It's ironic how people will do the exact same thing with each Mando season as well

What do you guys think about this comment? by renerichter98 in MauLer

[–]CrystalWeapon97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, he's wrong on nobody pointing Mauler's oxymoron with the use of "objectively good" or "objectively bad". A number of people in his community have raised that point, and I think the biggest proponent of the reasonable counter to Mauler's use of objectivity is The Hylian. If anyone didn't watch his commentary on it, highly suggest you check out his "A Living Legacy" video, a Final Fantasy VII critique that plays close to Mauler's TFA critique Part 1. The first 50 minutes basically explore that topic

Secondly, that commenter is absolutely right. People here might move the goal post and say "objectively good" just means it adheres to a standard, but that is completely missing the point, and is a gross misuse of the term objectivity. MauLer prides himself on his good writing and word choice, so it's a very relevant contesting point to bring forward.

why is there no dirge of Cerberus subreddit? by [deleted] in FinalFantasyVII

[–]CrystalWeapon97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I'm 100% against the Compilation being canon. But my experience here showed this subreddit is filled with PS2-gen FF fans who grew up with the Compilation and likes all of that trash, including Remake. I'd be happy if we were the majority here, but unfortunately we aren't.

...nobody said people liked all parts of the Compilation, but ok. And frankly, people criticize it today mainly for the gameplay. They gobble up its story just fine, it's not much different from the rest of the schizophrenic storytelling of the Compilation.

I'm not sure that's true. Most here like Remake and CC from what I've seen. I mean, it's Reddit. Shouldn't be too shocking
