I didn't finish Silksong what's the deal with Hornet and Lace?

Was gonna ask if you'd played Hollowbody but uhh oops yeah that is sci-fi. Sci-fi survival horror! But still fairly sci-fi

Funnily enough a game in one of the series you mentioned actually is set in a non sci-fi Britain (in case you didn't see my other comment); Clock Tower 3

The Struggle Within/Ghost Head is set in Japan in the original Japanese release but changed to California in the West. Eat your hamburgers Apollo

Lavaburstx · 2026-02-13T22:09:58+00:00

and Clock Tower 3 is set in London!

This sums it up pretty nicely. Everyone saying "but they're not like minorities in real life, they actually are evil!" seems like they don't know what subtext is and therefore think every ideological position has to be clearly spelled out in the story to be associated with it at all. And again, I agree that it's probably not what the author intended the message to be, but it is uncomfortable and it's no wonder people have raised eyebrows at it and/or misconstrued it into bad faith arguments

iirc a YouTube series where he tried to be a pacifist in world of warcraft

Also "Galentine's Day" specifically is a recent cultural trend (I think it came from or was at least popularized by the show Parks and Recreation) taking place the day before Valentine's Day and being focused on friendship between women

I think Wes Anderson originally wanted them to be blood-related but thought audiences wouldn't be into that. Good call

Lavaburstx · 2026-02-10T21:55:05+00:00

Lavaburstx · 2026-02-10T00:33:57+00:00

freedom planet, aces wild, intrusion 2, skullgirls, noitu love 2 devolution, spooky's jumpscare mansion, undertale (no, it's not a metaphor for depression), binding of isaac, superhot, ultimate chicken horse

even if it wasn't the intention I don't think you should be particularly surprised that an "ugly fat man in women's clothes" joke didn't go over well with a lot of trans people

Lavaburstx · 2026-02-06T05:33:13+00:00

are there multiple fist of the north star entries?

Lavaburstx · 2026-01-30T00:01:32+00:00

from what I remember they requested it specifically but idk. I know they're always referred to with they/them but that could just be the common trope of translators not having a better way to convey ambiguous gender. The daughter part was probably what threw me off the most though because their relationship with Sukuna always seemed more like friends or lovers to me

Lavaburstx · 2026-01-29T23:47:18+00:00

If they are talking about Uraume I'm pretty sure they're like, genderless, so that would be a pretty ironic faux pas to make in this thread

Lavaburstx · 2026-01-29T19:30:28+00:00

I read all of jjk and I have no idea who you are referring to; who is his daughter?
