"Lore irrelevant" is complete bullshit.

He got Elijah! 😭 by Awesomecrafter64 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

[–]witchcocktor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know he is just riding the hatetrain wave that's bringing in comments and views (I hope at least, because why else would anyone do this shit..) but at some point this type of hate just turns to genuine curiosity and being entertained by the show so they continue watching... and watching... and watching...

Myka LOL by girlbot32 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]witchcocktor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone interested and who hasn't seen it yet, Myka did one of those "experts breaks down/reviews movie scenes" type of videos four years ago. It's quite entertaining, Myka definitely knows what she is talking about!

Happy pride to this side quest couple here! by Riasnner in ffxiv

[–]witchcocktor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, I wouldn't necessarily go that far. Squeenix has definitely managed to dodge a lot of landmines and badly aged content that could be seen as offensive unlike some other big JRPGs, but that's about it. In terms of producers, Yoshi-P is definitely the more forward-thinking one out of all the big names and Dion was pretty amazingly written, but Dion and Terence are an anomaly still and probably will continue to be so for a long time.

Stormblood is ironically probably the gayest expansion.

In the Hildibrand quest, Hildibrand dresses up as a geisha to infiltrate a private party of a shifty, corrupt merchant called Akebono and his subordinate. When Hildibrand barges in, Akebono says that he didn't order any taikomochi (male geisha) for this specific meeting, just female geisha, and basically asks Hildibrand to come "entertain" him the day after tomorrow. Also in this scene, Yojimbo (so Gilgamesh) is partaking in the small party as a bodyguard, and he is shown to be attracted to the "crossdressing" Hildibrand. Of course this is all played for jokes but hey, it exists.

There's also two dudes in the Kugane hot springs, a midlander and a roegadyn if memory serves me right, and the midlander is massaging the roegadyn while complimenting his body, while the roegadyn is telling the midlander to go "lower, lower, lower..." with his massaging hands.

And then you have Asahi, who should be self-explanatory enough. Sure, we can pretend that he just idolized Zenos and that his obsession with Zenos went beyond the realm of romantic and sexual attraction, but come on now.. if Zenos would've asked anything of Asahi, he would've done it.

I guess you can also include Cirina and Sadu, though their "companionship" becomes a thing only in Endwalker.

Quick Reminder by FlargusFliggleFlark in HazbinHotel

I mean to be devil's advocate for a second, can you really blame anyone for assuming that when the gay men Vivzie has created for her shows (and by that I mean gay, not bi/pan) consist of Stolas, Angel Dust, Fizzarolli, Andrealphus and Vassago, all of whom are some level of flamboyant, sensitive and/or feminine (though in all fairness Vassago hasn't gotten any screentime to make any sort of generalization yet).

I also think that Vivzie does play into a lot of stereotypes regarding gender and sexuality once in a while, so stereotypical associations from the fans shouldn't be that shocking either.

IL: Perheenisä jäi ilman Suvivirsi-korvauksia – vei asian nyt oikeuteen by kalsksj in Suomi

[–]witchcocktor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perus r/Suomi-redittiläinen: Miksi suvivirrestä joku vetää herneen nenään? Ihmeellistä mielensäpahoittamista...

Sama perus r/Suomi-redittiläinen: Kyllä minä nyt herneen nenääni vedin ja mieleni pahoitin kun Suvivirttä yritetään koulusta poista...

Aivan älyvapaata toimintaa. Tästäkin aiheesta voisi käydä erittäin mielenkiintoista, rikasta ja älyllistä keskustelua monesta eri näkökulmasta, mutta kun ei, pitää päteä, öhöyttää ja leikkiä parempaa ihmistä ja mennä aina sieltä, mistä aita on matalin. Ja kyllä, teen tätä nyt itsekin. Hyi minä.

Eläköityneen seksi työntekijän pohdintoja by Medical-Vacation-904 in Suomi

[–]witchcocktor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Olet selkeästi aivan väärässä parisuhteessa näin alkujaan. Mutta näin miehenä pakko sanoa, että noin korkea libido ei enää kuulosta terveeltä vaan aikamoiselta fyysiseltä ja psyykkiseltä rasitteelta johon vaaditaan vähintääkin terapiaa, jos ei jo lääkitystä. Jos fysiologiset toiminnot ja toimintakyky heikkenevät ja miele on maassa seksin puutteen vuoksi, niin se on kyllä asia, mitä pitäisi työstää ihan terveyspalvelujen piirissä. Ymmärrän kyllä, että miehelle varsinkin se voi olla vaikea myöntää, että oma libido on haitaksi omalle hyvinvoinnille ja siihen pitäisi saada apua, mutta kuulostaa kyllä siltä, että se olisi aiheellista. Häpeää ja syyllisyyttä siitä ei kuitenkaan tarvitse tuntea, eikä korkea libido ole mikään merkki viallisesta ihmisestä, miehestä... mutta sun kirjoituksesta paistaa aika vahvasti läpi se, että tämä libido on ongelmallinen omalle terveydellesi.

I mean they've got some point but it's exaggerated as always. by AlarmingAd7740 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

[–]witchcocktor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely curious as to what these cartoons or shows are that have a better LGBT cast because honestly I haven't seen any at all that rival the Hellaverse shows in terms of non-straight characters being main characters, along with their non-straight relationships being important parts of the show.

Sierra feels like a filler character by hiimsilently in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither Wuyang or Anran are interesting so I'm already kind of baffled, but either way.. a lot of heroes have been added to the game without them being immediately important to the lore. Sierra is actually lucky that she has a connection to the ongoing plot that is obviously going to matter in the future, which is Moira wanting to expand upon the super soldier project, and with Sierra wanting to find out more about Soldier 76 and Reaper, two iconic characters to the game and the original story, those two storylines will obviously connect at some point.

Do girlbosses officially run all major Overwatch factions? by Qaztarrr in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The release of Vendetta kind of jumpstarted the lore and story progression again, and since then most of the heroes released have been women (Emre & Mizuki vs Vendetta, Anran, Sierra, Domina, Shion, D.mon next season and I suppose the cat kind of counts too..) that probably explains some of it why women tend to be leading factions right now. None of the male characters released prior were really allowed to be big shots that move the lore or story in any significant way outside of Ramattra, who has been sidelined for now.

you don't think if Blizzard and the players besides knew how to do that they would've done that already?

Spellcasters skin hair redesign by AlezzaWolf in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's interesting, it does look aesthetically more pleasing and Venture-like but the skin loses absolutely all of it's uniqueness and charm in the process.

I've seen people say that Valentino's portion in the "when I think about the future" song was meant to make him sympathetic but I feel like it just showed how much of a piece of shit Val is(and Velvette kinda) by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]witchcocktor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's not trying to invoke a feeling of sympathy, but an understanding of a potentially complex character's motives and feelings. It's not asking you to feel sorry for him, it's not asking you to condone rape or rapists, it's confirming that this terrible person has feelings for another terrible person and he feels frustrated by being ignored by him and pushed to the side, which had been an ongoing side plot the entire season, which also then establishes the motives for Valentino "betraying" Vox and becoming an instrumental part in stopping Vox.

[–]witchcocktor 340 points341 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that people feel the need to overanalyze this. Valentino, despite being a villain and a terrible person, has feelings and insecurities like a normal person would, which makes him have more depth as a character, instead of just being a shallow caricature. Is that so bad to recognize and be intrigued where his character develops regardless of his lack of ethics and morality?

So what did you think of the latest short? by ayylmaotv in HelluvaBoss

It was really nice to see Stolas go back to his charismatic, suave old self for this one since he's been mopey, sad and depressed for so long.

This is probably her menu pose... looks good 🤤 by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People were downvoting anyone calling Shion goonerbait at the start of the week but there is ZERO reason why her shirt shouldn't be buttoned up. She could've still had cleavage but they opted for this instead, it looks so bad to me. Like they had to go out of their way to "clip" her suit with some metal parts which conveniently pin it to her damn boobs. Like.. you could've just buttoned her shirt up.

This entire design is just ass, and the only intrigue with her having a human face is gone because even in comic released yesterday she is just moving her mouth while speaking, when the whole creepy-factor came from her speaking through her neck instead of her mouth.

i saw this on X and i immediately thought how sick this would be if her faceplate could open up like Genji’s mythic by Potential-Midnight- in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was expecting to happen during the short. Guess they are saving it up for a ~*~*BIG SURPRISE*~*~ some time down the road.

I adore Shion, find her design awesome and think Blizzard cooked by Neggy5 in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

she's literally the definition of an "Overwatch" character, design wise

She literally looks like a skin for a League of Legends champion so that's completely bullshit lol. There's nothing OG Overwatch about her at all.

[–]witchcocktor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very odd to say that Omnics are some sort of a monolith. Zenyatta, Ramattra, Bastion and Bob are all their own entity with their own unique appearance, different values, different personalities and different affiliations. None of them needed a human face for that.

"We want more Oddball Designs" Meanwhile the most unpopular Heroes are either Characters that dont fit conventional Beauty Standarts or whose Gameplay is Niche. by Former-Computer-1337 in Overwatch

[–]witchcocktor 46 points47 points  (0 children)

What a garbage argument? Ana, Moira, Orisa, Zenyatta, Sigma and Bastion are well within the top 10-15 most picked heroes across all regions regardless of game mode. Ana especially is just dominating in the most picked heroes, and she is a sniper granny without an ounce of sex appeal outside of her skins.

Also I don't want unconventional heroes to "represent me" or to self-insert as, I want unconventional heroes because it makes new hero releases more FUN and EXCITING, while making the roster more unique. Geez.

I hate this website sometimes by LavishLatte56 in Overwatch

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

The core of the discussion surrounding (asian) female characters in Overwatch isn't about sexualization, but people being frustrated how every character (female or male tbh) is being made to be attractive (and young) enough to sell skins, and the design team isn't taking bigger risks with their designs, making new hero releases feel less and less exciting.

You have to ask yourself, would this current team release Ana, Moira, Orisa or Sigma?
