To put things into perspective regarding the whole #StellarBlade debacle, as someone who's worked in the industry for about 17 years, I think it's time to explain the process of submission, certification, and the so-called release candidate (or RC) for a game. 1/6 When a developer wants to release a game on a console, they have to submit the game to Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony to make sure that the game adheres to their minimum quality standards and respects their copyrights, trademarks, and terminology. This is called submission. 2/6

Credit where credit is due. You took your time to answer this in reasonably good faith, so props for that. That being said, given the examples you've cited, I think we're talking about apples and oranges for part of this and reject your interpretation of Kim Belair's speech. 1/6 First, the apples and oranges part: I have no problems with accessibility settings designed to make games more access to the disabled. As someone who worked on "Far Cry 5", Ubisoft should be commended for having extra settings for vision/hearing impaired gamers. Thumbs up. 👍 2/6 Image

In an effort to settle this whole "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" thing once and for all and show why the Funimation's English dub script sucks, let's have a closer look at the offending line as it appears in Chapter 12 of the manga and Episode 12 of the anime in context. 1/5

Notice the following things:
1. Lucoa has made a conscious decision to dress more modestly.
2. The anime specifically states that the reason for this decision was because "everyone was always saying something" but doesn't specify the nature of the comments (i.e. good or bad).
2/5

Since it seems like today's become "Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears" Day on my timeline, what better way to celebrate than to post the introductions from as many languages as I have available in my library? Let's start with the English version. 🙂 "Gumisie" ("Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears" - Polish Version)

Remember the good old days of Disney cartoons when anthropomorphic bears could be casually sexist and princesses could be tomboys while also being competent, feminine, and not insufferable Mary Sues? 😅 Now this I wasn't expecting! Japanese animator and animation director Takashi Watanabe had the following to say. 😮

By all means, please demonstrate in the most ironic and completely-lacking-in-self-awareness way possible why I've run out of patience when it comes to dealing with woke morons like you. 🙄 ImageImage "'Trans people don't deserve respect unless they act the way I think they should.' Fuck that."
Here's something that applies to everyone, regardless of gender, race, sex etc.: You want to be treated like a human? THEN ACT LIKE A HUMAN, NOT LIKE A CRAP-FLINGING HOWLER MONKEY. 🤬 ImageImageImageImage

Feminist attempts to explain the Pill System but can't even understand how "The Matrix" applies despite the fact that a lot of leftist/progressive/woke ideology operates on willful ignorance. She also manages to get redpilling and blackpilling significantly wrong for some reason. Image For the record, redpilling has less to do with keeping an "Oppression Olympics" score and more with gaining some kind of fundamental insight or radical perspective shift on how the world really works. Blackpilling is linked to defeatism and nihilism, but not a call to violence.

For the last time, you idiots: the issue here isn't the fact that manga and anime have political themes or that they espouse a particular political view, it's that manga and anime don't hamfistedly or clumsily insert them into stories to the detriment of entertainment value. 1/4 "GATE - Thus the JSDF Fought There!" is a nationalistic series where Japanese Special Forces can effortlessly take out Russian AND U.S. ones with zero deaths and makes a lot of political and social criticism (such as how manipulative politicians and journalists are). 2/4

I usually wouldn't waste my time on something this stupid, but since there're lot of people out there who're hellbent on conflating wokeness with patriotism or arguing that all political statements are equal, let's discuss exactly what Captain America and Superman stand for. 1/14 The American spirit in its purest, most benevolent form represents truth, justice, and freedom for all. The fact that attempts to realize these lofty ideals sometimes produce horrific results is attributable to inherent flaws not in those ideas, but in the characters of men. 2/14

Seems like the time has come to address the brouhaha surrounding @RealDeanCain's "Fox & Friends" interview earlier this week where he criticized the newfound wokeness of Captain America and how prominent comic book industry figures like Heather Antos are bashing him for it. 1/17 This (rather lengthy) thread will be divided into three parts devoted to the following topics:
1. Explaining the controversy surrounding Captain America.
2. Discussing the status of Clark Kent/Superman's citizenship.
3. Addressing how Heather Antos has lied about Dean Cain.
2/17

I really didn't want to weigh in on the situation with @TSR_games and @Gygax_Jr because I've never had much involvement with the original company or "Dungeons & Dragons" (except for the 80s cartoon, which I was a fan of), but it's time to set the record straight on this. 1/10 First of all, Ernie Gygax never said, as some are insisting, that "he created the new TSR for people who wanted to enforce two gender identities". What he specifically said was that a lot of old school tabletop role-playing game artists and designers had been getting flak... 2/10

Though I should probably know better by now considering the flak I've gotten in recent weeks, I'm going to try explaining the controversy and cultural clash surrounding lewd fanart of the anthropomorphic female racehorse characters from "Uma Musume: Pretty Derby". 1/10 On June 20, 2018, a post appeared on the "Uma Musume Project" website from the staff asking fans not to create fanart that might tarnish the dignity and reputations of the racehorses whose names their owners had granted permission to be used. In other words: no porn, please. 2/10

How the hell does a Brazilian car commercial get the 1980s "Dungeons & Dragons" cartoon aesthetic THIS RIGHT when Hollywood can't even come close? 😲

"Gaming Culture: Projects To Strengthen Digital Civil Society" is transparently announcing EA's support for projects intended to profile gamers for "right-wing sentiments" and turn them into ideologues/activists.
