Dusk Golem better be pulling from his ass. Give me Grace for 90% of the game and Jill and/or Claire helping her out.

Capcom would be massive assholes to tease us with a woman protagonist just to undermine that.

Or maybe people don't care that much? Also you literally had a thread about how many new games have female characters, its not a novelty

Of course it's Princess Bubblegum.

[Keetongu]

So, Grace Ashcroft. we need some more shots of her, but I like her so far. RE9 havin a female lead again is nice.

Always annoys me when they say things like this. I've never played an RE game where you couldn't play as a woman. RE 0-8, Revelations 1 and 2, Code Veronica, those two shitty multiplayer spinoffs, they all had female player characters.

[Averon]

Why are they acting like Resident Evil barely have female leads?

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Why does every time the forum goes through controversy about the admins, one of the mods either has an illness or somebody died right before they type out a long ass post to defend themselves?

Is that the Kevlar vest they have to strap on before they get in their patrol unit?

Who could have guessed that the weak, constantly ailing moderators were all spawned from weak, constantly ailing parents, and that the moderation role they posses is the closest any will get to any semblance of power.

Nep will never be as powerful as her parents. She wishes she could screw someone over on a car loan.

Maybe Morrigan should use some soap and shampoo before bitching about whats a waifu or not.

Morrigan's built like a string cheese mascot, so I understand her jealousy.

I'm assuming it's first person and that traditional cutscenes will be the compromise to not scare away normies and third person diehards. Also for sexist reasons because Grace is a conventionally attractive woman you don't just hide that. 😮‍💨

These were common in departments stores. It was more organic, and back when retail salespeople had more commission sales structures.

They would get to know your family, usually the mom as they typically did the clothes shopping, pick out items, seasonally, for special occasions like weddings and funerals, etc.

Your mom would have their phone number and what not.

It sounds rich but not really. I'm not talking about Neiman Marcus here, but places like Macy's, Kohl's.

So much goonery in that show, JFC... Atomic Hearts 2, Cube, Blade & Soul, The First Descendant, Wu Chang (though that trailer was tame I guess), and I'm sure I'm forgetting more.

Code Vein 2 trailer looked surprisingly tasteful but I'm sure they'll find a way to be trashy too -_-

So, Grace Ashcroft. we need some more shots of her, but I like her so far. RE9 havin a female lead again is nice.

She's fine but I'm a bit tired of the dudes looking realistic and the clearly girl looking like an anime waifu lol

What in the..... 

How in god's name is that an "anime waifu"?

That’s just michelle pfeiffer from Batman returns

[benji]

They're offended by real women 

They can't comprehend real women as individual people, like almost all things they talk about, women exist in their mind in an idealized form, a platonic woman.

Which is why they talk about them like this:

She genuinely made me question if the game was actually RE9 when I tuned in mid-stream because of how…stylised(?) she looks. Like Claire, Jill, Mia, etc. are all very pretty and a good bit more "perfect" looking than most of the guys are in modern RE but she looks like a step farther than most of them do. I think Ashley in 4 is probably the closest any other modern RE character comes but she's also a teenager so I kinda gave her some leeway for looking a bit more doll faced and smooth skinned.

This is probably a good theory why:

All these people are the same. They put on a big show on ResetERA about how disgusted they are about sexualization, but catch them off-site, and you will easily see how much of a horn dog they are. Hentai. Anime Girls. Straight up porn. They all consume that shit off-site and then come on ResetERA and act like they are the holiest, most virtue-laden person alive. 

It's all for show.

Whenever they say "woman" or "women" they're talking about a platonic ideal in the abstract. Because you can hypothesize someone fetishizing anything this becomes proof that pretty much anything but "real women" (aka an abstract fat plain women (ideally of indeterminate ethnicity) with zero traditional fetishizable features) are deliberate gooner bait. The internalized shame is what drives their puritan zealotry against the hypothetical "gooner" who is entirely traditional in his interests. The repression drives hyperfetishization until you're obsessing over two seconds of asses or exposed femoral arteries or whatever inversely to trying to normalize and protect from criticism talking constantly about jerking off and violent gangbangs and all the stuff Melody retweets that's empowering lesbians everywhere.

They view traditional normal things as both offensive and abnormal while constantly trying to make it the inverse of their own position and so "actually" held by a small perverted minority. Then because they're brilliant their move is to flip the imagined accusations against themselves back on their accusers, I'm not a gooner I like wholesome filling five thousand year old demon girls with gallons of cum, you're the gooner, look at you drooling over those asses and watching the two seconds on a loop until you cum all over yourself for the fifth time today. Even though nobody does this latter thing, the traditional view doesn't hyperfixate on those asses or boobs or whatever because it's normalized and everywhere. They can only comprehend the idea of it being tantalizing within their own personal framework though. So it must be heavily fetishizing to an extreme level purely for a weird minority. To them this can be the only reason people like Stellar Blade because in their mind they're thinking of someone like Kyuuji who fetishizes the female form purely for his personal sexual pleasure and they're inverting the "who" of that, whereas the majority of the audience is simply finding them attractive in a more traditional and aesthetic sense than actual sexual fetishization let alone to the level of hyperobsession over their approach to a platonic ideal of woman.

They know the words to form to their critique but not the why of anything, so that's how they make gobs of posts attacking "goonery" while also chanting that sex work is real work and "real" women should never be shamed for anything they do. Then they need an ad hoc explanation for the contradiction rather than simply not imposing a contradiction on things in the first place. Instead they start writing essays about the "female gaze" difference and high femmes as if any of this is determined by anything but the vibes of the local dominant social groups. The critiques aren't honest at two levels, the formerly mentioned and also because the critiques aren't being made to express actually held views to engage in a dialogue, they're about social signaling in hopes of receiving praise for saying the wanted things or simply because others are saying them.

Given the dogshit quality of most therapists out there, can you blame them? If there's one job that has been performed so worthlessly by humans, it would be therapists. Let's let AI take over so these gaslighting quacks can find more fulfilling skills as a fry cook.

If you're interested in marvel games why not invest in the system making it and not be so entitled.

The game wouldn't exist without the collaboration of Arc System Works, Sony, and Marvel. No one stepped up with the vision, direction, and funding to make this happen. How about we appreciate it exist instead of bitching online about it. Just get a PC or ,PlayStation or just let it go

What exactly from that one post of theirs constitutes as "bitching online" and why are your literal only posts over the past three months quoting different people to tell them to buy a PlayStation?

I guess AI is too low cost of option for therapy to recommend.

Also, has anyone else noticed how Era latches onto a word, has absolutely no understanding what it means, but uses it over and over again and runs it into the ground?

2017-2020: Gamergator!
2021-2022: TERF, TERF, TERF!
2023:2024: NAZI, NAZI, NAZI!
2023-2024: CHUD, CHUD, CHUD!

Well, in 2025, the word of the year is...

GOONER!!

Some quotes from the 'Why women (BUT ACTUALLY MEN) criticize sexualised designs" thread, starting with eternal dumbass PlanetSmasher:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-women-criticise-sexualised-character-designs-ot3-make-her-look-more-corpulent-more-stuffed-where-the-eyes-cant-escape.275780/page-462#post-141073491

I was not expecting just how far they would go with the complete over-the-top goonery though. Just impossible to take that game seriously when all of its women are portrayed like that.

So much goonery in that show, JFC... Atomic Hearts 2, Cube, Blade & Soul, The First Descendant, Wu Chang (though that trailer was tame I guess), and I'm sure I'm forgetting more.

But yeah a very gooner SGF in general even some of the milder trailers were for very Pervy IP's like seven deadly sins.

Between Atomic Heart II and Stellar Blade II, 2026 and potentially 2027 are going to come with another fresh batch of exhausting and gross gooner histrionics and self-victimization, already cringing.

Truly a shit ass game made by shitty devs. This, all the gooner bait and the MAGA fuck really cemented this Keighley's as the all time worst he put out. Really mind boggling stuff

Them being shit is about Ukraine, the clip is just an example of the ass dialogue that the game is full of. Not to mention all the gooner bait on display that we saw more of in the new trailer.

Gooner, gooner, gooner, absolute OBSESSION with the word gooner.

But do these morons even know what a 'Gooner' actually is? 

From Wiktionary: "An individual who practices gooning (a form of masturbation that involves edging for a long period of time)"

And how many threads have Era members made on masturbation? A quick Google search reveals....

1: 'What is Society's problem with masturbation?'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-what-is-societys-problem-with-masturbation.156289/

2: 'Masturbation frequency may correlate with sexual dysfunction for men trying to conceive'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/masturbation-frequency-may-correlate-with-sexual-dysfunction-for-men-trying-to-conceive.1018764/page-2

3: 'Masturbation | sexual partner' (This guy wanted to basically sexually assault his sleeping wife)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/masturbation-sexual-partner.668740/

4: 'masturbating without porn'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/masturbating-without-porn.119396/

5: '7.4 million Brits masturbate when at work'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/7-4-million-brits-masturbate-when-at-work.639771/

6: 'Is masturbating with oil/lotion and wet wipes/baby wipes a North American (USA) thing?'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-masturbating-with-oil-lotion-and-wet-wipes-baby-wipes-a-north-american-usa-thing.186645/

7: 'So who is masturbating tonight?'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-who-is-masturbating-tonight.378723/

8: 'Do people really use lube for masturbation?'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-people-really-use-lube-for-masturbation.161010/


So it will come as absolutely no fucking surprise that the people most obsessed with masturbation/gooning... 

ARE ON ERA ITSELF.

Always projection with Era. Always.

And that's before we bring EchoesOfTheRetard into the conversation.

Any normal man who likes a bit of ass: 

Era: "Ugggh, you disgusting pervert, gooner. Ban this misogynist chud!'

EchoesOfTheRetard: "Tee hee, I'm a silly little lesbian! Please read my latest 10,000 word post on why Capcom need to make Cammy a lesbian! Plz, Capcom, plz, plz, plz, plz make Cammy a WLW lesbian, plz, plz, plz "

Era: "Oh, you're such a brave woman Echoes! Proud of you!   "


Truly the most hypocritical, perverted forum out there.

Makes me laugh, because to me a Gooner is someone who supports Arsenal

I wonder how many people stumble across this site looking for material and leave disappointed 🤣🤣

Era: NOT LIKE THAT!!

Also, the dude they are quoting is a dude that mainly does trailers (but claims he also develops games  ). 

Another indie dev clique implosion incoming.

[Polident]

Honestly can’t recall if it’s a left or right lunatic thing but wasn’t there a whole argument for mocking and defanging certain imagery? Like that recent Mussolini show has him looking into the camera saying “MIGA”.

[Boredfrom]

That dude outright says the ERA talking point of “they are going to shit on big development teams.”  

I get the complains about “they outsource everything and buy assets” or “marketing is using it”, but they come from some devs that actually released games, but there is also some weird corpo apologism or outright obfuscation like “is like that FPS asshole that talked shit of others devs”  

But hey, is totally not possible having good games with mostly solo devs:



Even the dude that created Balatro says he dislikes that the media says that his game was created by one guy… while his Twitter bio says: creator of Balatro.

[Boredfrom]

ERA already weirded out by the comment from the Balatro dude.  

“He didn’t lie, he has been transparent about Balatro was not made by only one person… even though he is okay when marketing say it or promoting himself as THE CREATOR of Balatro”.

I get what the dude is saying like he probably could get why people promote low dev counts on their studios.

[Besticus Maximus]

The hat thing is an interesting way to nuke your game on release regardless of how stupid resetera are, makes you wonder what his colleagues are saying to him this morning.
