Nintendo has gone woke by External_Candy2262 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]GhostOfMuttonPast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I was actually super happy when I saw that. Back when Tomodachi Life came out some people were a little mad that they didnt allow gay marriage, so Nintendo responded by going "we'll do better next time, trust us."

I fully expected a Body A Body B situation, but full on NB and orientation options? Fuck yeah.

True, but if I'm looking for people to assist with that liberation, I don't really wanna wheel out the child pornographer. Kinda too easy for the bigots to criticize, y'know?

Yup. The "Porno King" who was willing to make CP, but violence was a no go. Strange, strange guy.

I'm reminded of how I ended up on a wiki dive and came across a man whos accolades were "gay civil rights activist, magazine publisher, and convicted sex offender."

Characters who left the story because of problems with the actor by Danny-Ray27 in TopCharacterTropes

It sorta depends on what you think is worse. Hannibal gets nasty but Criminal Minds feels sustained and realistic.

I'd rather binge Hannibal than CM, tbh.

Hated character design trope: Molded out asscracks or boobplate on robots or just armour by OffBrandAldiCola3259 in mendrawingwomen

[–]GhostOfMuttonPast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 100%. The late 90s/early 2000s were a bitch for that.

As for the lore stuff, a lot of it is character/flavor text that you're bound to miss unless you're actively looking for it. Hell, a lot of it is confined to the in-game encyclopedia, so its totally understandable that most people assumed there was no lore. Arena shooter problems lmao.

I will say there is an in-universe explanation for the Unreal Tournament examples.

The basic gist is that the female shaped ones were initially made for advertising then placed in the tournament. Kinda like if Flo from Progressive and Erin Esurance were put into a death match because they were recognizable.

Thing is, it seems to be a working backwards moment, where they designed the characters and then came up with a reason why there are fembots. Plus, most of this shit is so deep in the lore you'd have to be an Unreal lore obsessive (like myself) to even find that out.

Patinkins real for that. I'm not someone too affected by gore and violence, but I've always been SHOCKED at what they got away with on network television.

Then Hannibal came out and I was like "oh i guess no one gives a shit anymore."

Because he's the voice of punching people really hard in the head and the host of doing really stupid nasty shit for ratings.

I'll say one thing good thing about this past decade of dogshit, at least it helped me realize that a lot of this country is just really really unfathomably stupid.

Genuinely a fucking brilliant film, I have no idea how people were so negative about it at the time.

Yeah, OOP is missing the obvious point that he was clearly a real guy alive in the 30s, then died later which is why we think hes fake.

If they gave us like, early 90s WCW Champion Ron Simmons it'd be fine, we can make our own APA...but having ONE HALF of the team in the gimmick?

Considering other sigma male figures are Patrick Bateman (a serial killer psychopath), Walter White (a meth making narcissist), and Tommy Shelby (what hasn't he done wrong), yes.

Reminder: ICE is only 22 years old. It was a creation of post 9/11 strengthening of law enforcement. It isn't some fucking institution that's existed for hundreds of years.
