Morrigan has always gotten weirdly angry about sex scenes

[Daffy Duck]

So I took a peak in that birthday celebration thread

Homophobia, like everything else wrong with men

Follow up posts when they were called out…

Toxic masculinity being largely tied up with homophobia is anything but "dumb as fuck"

Oh my apologies I did not realize your perspective was the only valid one

You're legitimately not making sense

What the actual fuck kind of brain dead retarded post is that?

And why hasn’t moderation banned this obvious troll account? They like to throw that out there for everything else but can’t in this instance when it’s so blatant?

Try not to be a bigot next time and LISTEN to trans folx.

ALLIES NEED TO ARM UP AND GET IN THE STREETS, SHUT DOWN THE HOSPITALS:

Let me know if you see a ResetERA.com thread about this since they listen to whatever these idiots say.

"Fuck the federal funding" sounds like famous last words 

[killamajig]

Not to dismiss your opinion, except here's how I'm dismissing it over and over" -- good gods, criticizing this game really is like the bat-signal for you to rush in and defend it, huh

There is no reason for a game with a character creator to force an unwanted sex scene from the first-person perspective of a straight male. NONE. Don't defend this trash. Hell, it'd be trashy even if there was no character creator. This is PS2 God of War-era level of cringe, except possibly worse.

Also spare me your inane "lore" defense. Hell, Johnny is not even a better person. He's just as bad now, if not worse. Know how I know this? I just started the quest, "Chipping in" and he's basically raping V by taking over her body and getting her body trashed and fondling and fucking girls (many of which are of course being ogled by the camera). This is of course after he promised he'd only "take over" to talk to Rogue. It's honestly sickening. The game revels in his misogyny and forces the player to endure it. (I reloaded the quest the moment I had to watch my character's body being forced to finger a girl in a car -- I'm not doing this regardless of "quest rewards", what a trashy fucking game.)

As for Art, why should I give a fuck about what the tabletop game does? The game takes plenty of liberties, they didn't have to keep the sexism shit in it. "It's canon" DUDE I DON'T CARE

You constantly defend this game like it's your mother, and it's irritating to all hell. Stop.

“Johnny Silverhand is rapping me.”

I like how these goobers slide Lilith, gods and Iscariot etc to sound edgy anti-christian or whatever. I grew out of my satanist phase in high school. 

Also thanks to Morricunt, I put Cyberpunk on my steam wishlist. I won't pay full price but when it goes on sale I'll show her and buy it. 

But seriously, hearing her talk about it made me want the game. Good job you dumb cunt, all your handwringing made me want to buy the game now. 

[killamajig]

I've been playing Cyberpunk and I'm honestly surprised it hasn't come up in this thread more (or maybe I missed it). The scene with the playable Johnny Silverhands flashback having a long first-person sex scene with Art Cunningham and the camera leering all over her (and her getting treated like absolute shit by Johnny, then also damselled/captured and turned into an AI shortly after that) was breath-takingly sexist, and even more infuriating considering this is a game where you are supposed to create your own character and choose your own romance. Yet we're forced to play a misogynistic dirtbag (seriously, he calls so many woman a bitch or a c*nt all the time, including the player if playing female V) ogling and fucking a naked woman in first-person... this is batshit, yet I don't remember any controversy (unlike the AC Odyssey DLC). But, again, maybe I missed it, IDK.

I was given the impression that CDPR had come a long way from the Witcher 1, but I guess not. The part in the intro where you carry a vulnerable naked woman in your arm and the camera focuses on her breasts should probably have given me a hint, though.

Also: Johnny Silverhands is godawful and makes the game worse in every way, change my mind

This woman used to be a admin of metal forum and likes Varg. She is surprised that the terrorist rockstar is not a good person.

This is such a classic disingenuous Anita Sarkeesian style analysis it almost makes me nostalgic. Holy shit what an insanely dumb take. 
"I was forced to experience sex through another person's eyes!" 
Lmao, holy shit.

Also she keeps saying "The camera focuses on..." The camera are your characters eyes you idiot. We can't all be good Christians like you and stare embarrassed at the wall while having sex

Cyberpunk is about playing a misogynist in the future
Moby Dick is about a guy that likes to kill whales
Lolita is about a man fucking an under age girl
War and Peace is about the French living in Russia

These complex stories about human nature are merely frameworks to support the simplistic ideas they harbor. It is truly remarkable to see how Era and Co. can take intricate subjects like geopolitics or human psychology and reduce them to a binary state of good or bad. Jews bad, Hamas good. U.S.A. bad, China good. Johnny Depp bad, Amber Heard good. Males sexualizing females bad, transwomen sexualizing females (or under age females) good.

[DavidCroquet]

That thread in particular is funny because trump isn't saying "World War 3 is looming...let's rock!"

He's saying "if we continue allowing these hamster-wheel wars to churn without resolution (Ukraine, Israel/Palestine), World War 3 is a potential result".

Now, he would never speak that articulately, and he's clearly an awful influence on the world stage, but for all of the reeeeing over on Era, he's actually saying something these goofballs should be receptive too (i.e. we don't want WW3 to happen, and need to proactively move away from it).

It's just like a normal president thing to say. Here's an article from the Washington Post (admittedly, a nazi facist normalization rag of evil) talking about Biden going "ooga-booga-world-war-3" a whole bunch.

Yeah, the "I'm not dying for you Donald" responses are pretty dumb. The real question is to ask how Trump plans to avoid WW3. Like, if you roll over and hand Hitler all of Europe you also avoid WW2. Not exactly a good thing though

[DavidCroquet]

Oh certainly Trump is going about it in the most ass way possible.

1. End Israel/Palestine by marking out Palestine on the world map with black sharpie and labeling it "more Israel"
   
2. End Russia/Ukraine by calling Putin and doing a Zelensky impersonation and saying "I surrender, you win, we love mother Russia!"
   
3. ???
   
4. World War 3 never happens!
   

[Nintex]

Simple. You tear up Russia from the inside with the MAGA trojan horse once Putin opens the gates. 

Russia has nothing to sell, they're not going to buy anything from Russia, they're going to buy everything there is IN Russia.

Maybe the reason for the name change matters more? 

And you can just not be an asshole and respect people for who they want to be called.

oh, so we can just reject the initial premise that the two situations are roughly equivalent?

if a boomer likes the reason for the gulf name change but not the trans name change, they're allowed to treat the situations differently, since the reason matters more?

I mean we have a literal name change in denali to micklenly going on right now, if you want to go boomer on it. 

Maybe stop treating trans people like shit?

[Bootsthecat]

Personally, I prefer to treat all men the same, mental issues or not.

Some do some funny stuff so I have to laugh sometimes, tho
