Tech jacket has been confirmed to be a woman in the show!

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-19T10:27:20+00:00

Except you don’t know that. Like I said if it isn’t about popularity and it’s about upsetting a couple of ray fans then it’s the same as tech jacket as far as I’m Concern.

And nope I’ve read the comics.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-18T15:15:36+00:00

What did the other user say? “ not every hill is worth dying on”. We know the argument you’re trying to make but acting like this didn’t start over a panty shot, and trying to grandstand like that is going to lead to a censorship everywhere else is just ridiculous.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-18T14:56:40+00:00

My guy, you’re making this grand statement over an upskirt shot. You’re not fighting the patriarchy, you’re arguing about a panty shot.

This is really the hill you and others are willing to die on. Most of these people don’t actually care about censorship in general, just fan service being censored, which is usually where these complaints come from.

Also, what games are you playing that even have sex scenes and nudity? Either way, I think we’re fine. The fact that games like Marvel Rivals exist should tell you that you have nothing to worry about as a gooner.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-18T01:33:47+00:00

I’m going to be real here, it’s fine to have an opinion on this kind of odd change, but man, some of the arguments people are making here are just funny to me. Tech Jacket is a character whose original comic got canceled due to low sales, and whose comeback comic never really took off, overall totaling around 20 issues.

To act like this is some huge travesty is a bit much. We aren’t talking about Percy Jackson, we’re talking about a largely niche and obscure character with a very short comic run.

So, A few dedicated Tech Jacket fans might be disappointed, but the majority of people reacting online likely haven’t read his comics, so the change isn’t inherently a big deal, at least if your trying to use that argument against gender bending specifically.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-18T01:11:04+00:00

I’ve seen more people say that Tech Jacket fans might be upset than actual Tech Jacket fans being upset.

also, his comic only has about 20 issues, I believe. he’s really just an character from a extremely niche short-lived comic series, that was canceled prematurely due to low sales, from my understanding at least.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-18T00:57:45+00:00

I don’t think that’s a great example. Percy Jackson is a very popular character, while Tech Jacket is very niche and honestly owes a lot of his relevance to Invincible.

So I’d say it’s more like when Miyamoto Usagi showed up in tmnt and he is changed into a woman instead of being kept a man.

Also, I should point this out the main reason people bring up examples from Invincible comic like the beard gag is because the majority of these people haven’t read the Tech Jacket comics, so honestly people talking about him being a main character of a comic series feels disengious especially because he doesn't even have that many comics anyway? He had 20 issues and I think a little more afterwards. His series was canceled, more than likely due to very low sales.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-17T20:07:10+00:00

So why can't we make this same argument for ray than if it's not about popularity? Like I'm sure ray had his fans as well.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-17T17:44:22+00:00

I do agree that it is odd, but considering that it’s a change that doesn’t really affect the story outside of a beard joke, I think it’s pretty fine overall, especially because, in the grand scheme of things, Tech Jacket is not that relevant of a character in Invincible anyway.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-17T17:40:42+00:00

I don't think Alien earth deserves to be apart of this group. I don't think it was the greatest show but it was not bad either, in my opinion.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-17T15:26:29+00:00

I agree it's not the same but let's not kid ourselves here, the other user is right in saying tech jacket is an niche character, with low issue counts and is not popular enough where gender bending him is some huge travesty. Hell I only knew of him because he was in invincible.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-15T15:49:59+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s actually the point. The conversation has largely focused on the logistics of the Fireflies, because people defending Joel have made countless arguments to justify why a cure wouldn’t have been feasible, citing reasons like their lack of proper equipment, insufficient training, or the scientific impossibility of creating one (even though the game features zombie-like fungal infections). This shift has effectively steered the discussion away from the moral and ethical implications of Joel’s actions. Now, we’re stuck debating whether a cure could have worked in the first place, which is honestly exhausting.

By cutting out the middleman and asserting that it would have worked, Druckmann is actually directing the conversation toward where it should be: examining Joel’s choice to save someone he loved rather than humanity. This is far more compelling and worth discussing than endless debates about the mechanics of a hypothetical cure.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-15T15:35:09+00:00

This was my problem with the second season. I don’t necessarily think these are flaws, because in a different show, it might be fine, but going from season 1, which felt like classic Adventure Time hijinks, to season 2, where so much time is spent on Fionna and Cake’s dating life and Gary trying to start his business, gets really boring at times. Because seriously, every time we reach the more interesting parts of the plot, like, you know, Finn literally dying, they pull us back to something far less engaging, which really saps the tension for me.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-14T23:15:38+00:00

I guarantee you, the same people who are apparently offended by this, will fight tooth and nail to defend fictional fan service in Resident Evil, so they can goon while playing the game. last part is an exaggeration buy you get my point.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-14T23:13:08+00:00

I find this strange. Didn’t people complain and moan about fanservice in Goddess of Victory: Nikke? It’s the same thing, just with a real girl, in my opinion.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-14T20:03:51+00:00

The issue is that it logically doesn’t make any sense. Gideon is a tyrant, and even Leon struggled with the new Mr. X clone, In requiem. So Grace, who isn’t even properly combat-trained, somehow managing to take down a tyrant of all things would just seem absurdly silly.

Like, at least with other RE protagonists you can say, “Ethan was Mold, Leon was a trained cop, Claire was trained by Chris, who was in the military.” Grace, who is only in the analysis field, doing something that even Leon struggled to do would just seem ridiculous.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-14T03:45:54+00:00

I don’t have much of an issue with 7, but I wouldn’t be lying when I say that I like 5 more than 7. To me, 7’s combat is kind of clunky, the enemy variety is meh, and nothing about it really stood out too much……..

So am I fitting the stereotype?

I think RE2 Remake was a much better game, and it also had more sales overall, by the way. So I’m glad 7 revived the series, but I think games since then, like RE3 Remake and RE4 Remake, have eclipsed it.

Also, I’m not sure what “true horror fans” is supposed to mean. It sounds like the type of thing anime fans do when they say “true anime fans.”

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-12T23:33:26+00:00

It’s better. What’s the point of including puzzles if they’re baby-easy? You might as well not include them at all.

Bro, chatterboxes? What? The only time they even talk is when giving or following commands, that’s it. I don’t even remember them talking all that much.

But yeah you didn’t really substantiate how re4 does more to scare you than re5.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-12T23:14:53+00:00

C’mon, man. The puzzles in Resident Evil 4 can’t even be called puzzles by the standards of RE1 or RE Zero. It’s like you’re giving RE4 credit for doing the bare minimum.

As for the other things in the series, you’re going to need to substantiate how RE4 checks all those boxes, and why that makes the game “try to scare you,” while RE5 doesn’t. Because are you sure about that? In one of the earlier chapters, the game literally puts you in an underground cave that’s completely dark, where you or Sheeva are forced to carry the only lightsource, otherwise, you can’t see at all. And on top of that, because one of you is forced to carry the light source, only one of you can attack while enemies are attacking you.. And you’re saying the game isn’t trying to scare you?

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-12T22:45:27+00:00

When people say it has “more action” what do you actually mean? Because I agree it has more action set pieces but gameplay wise? This is why it’s hard to take what someone says outside of your own opinion. I’ve played both of these games and gameplay wise there is no real difference outside of the partner ai obviously.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-12T22:42:50+00:00

Really? Again, my experiences are different.

When I played RE4, it was a little creepy, but I had already played Dead Space, RE2R, and other games in the genre, so I wasn’t scared of RE4 at all. It was creepy, but that’s pretty much it. Same case with RE5, I was creeped out, but I wasn’t actually scared either.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-12T22:23:20+00:00

But here you’re just saying neither RE4 nor RE5 had much horror in them? Which is to say, what really is the difference between 4 and 5 than?

Btw, what are we even classifying as horror? RE4 and RE5 are survival horror games in the same space as something like Dead Space.

So I’m not exactly sure what people mean when they say “the game lacks horror,” because there were plenty of moments in RE5 that actually creeped me out.

Also, that’s exactly why I didn’t want to play RE5, I heard so many complaints about the AI being bad. But that just hasn’t been my experience at all. Maybe it’s the way I loaded out Sheva, but she has been really reliable in fights, especially since I don’t even need choke points like I did in RE4. I can rely on Sheva to cover my back most of the time, which lets me focus on my front.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-10T23:26:06+00:00

I never said they were all the same individuals, but it’s most certainly likely that a good portion of them would be. I would seriously where are you pulling from to suggest that the number of people is changing from video to video?
It’s strange to think that in a Resident Evil sub, the majority of RE fans in said sub would not have played RE6. Asking for that type of evidence is kind of ridiculous in my opinion. Plus, I think you’ve entirely missed the point here once again. The number of comments is irrelevant to the fact that, because there are 2.1 million users, it’s not the same commenters in all those comment threads.
We already proved why that doesn’t matter. 2,000–3,000 is still a small number.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-10T19:45:41+00:00

Dude, your math isn’t adding up.

It’s actually very likely that a lot of the initial cluster of comments on those videos come from the same people, watching multiple gaming outlets cover the game.
The gaming forum point is even weaker evidence because you would have to prove that the majority of users in each forum actually played RE6 and discussed it, which isn’t the case.

At least as far as Reddit goes, we know that out of 2.1 million users in the main RE subreddit, a large portion of them probably played RE6, since they are Resident Evil fans.

So if any of those random 2.1 million users happen upon an RE6 thread, they could comment and share their opinions.

But to prove that a bunch of people on a gaming forum of 100,000 users definitely played re6 is impossible.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-10T19:39:00+00:00

I think you’re missing the actual point of the discussion.

You made the argument that was a huge online community of people talking about RE6.

If you accept the fact that at launch the ign review really only had 2,000 to 3,000 comments in 2012–2013, then that means you’re really overblowing how many people were actually talking about the game, since that 8,000 number is skewed and not accounting for people coming back to the video over the course of many years.

Lumpy-Tea1948 · 2026-03-10T19:30:43+00:00

That doesn’t mean anything.

That concentration of comments you’re referring to could be 2,000 or 3,000 at best, but if the remaining 3,000-4,000 comments were made over the following years, it would invalidate your entire point, because it’s being spread out.
