So Clicky’s solution is to not vote, encourage others to do the same, thereby speed running them getting sent to camps by the next crazy Trump? Oh and then complain the Dems aren’t doing anything?

Clicky's solution is not vote, complain about being genocided and hop on reddit to jerk it to Splatoon BNWO hentai to cope with said genocide. 
 
If you confront him about it, he'll tell you the liberals made him do this and stop kinkshaming.

Step 1) Refuse to vote, thus showing the liberal, neo-imperialist/colonialist, white, Christian-nationalist Jewish funded apartheid fascists you disapprove of their capitalistic genocide. 
Step 2) Feel self satisfied
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Die in the Trump trans camps. 

It's not my job to emotionally labor to stay out of the fascist extermination camps.

I've had to block so many elements of it on my desktop, including the search, to make it even remotely usable. The amount of right-wing talking points it puts in the search box as popular searches was pissing me off, especially when I subscribe to only positive left-wing news for mental health reasons.

Reddit is a bigot-filled shithole of right-wing chuds and conservative talking points, therefore I will not be using the reddit App.

It did give us this nugget

Honestly I think there has been always some broad conflation as you call it between trans and crossdressing communities from the crossdressing community itself, like the MTF subreddit (maybe the biggest subreddit for trans women) was recently found out to have a crossdresser mod for years that had to be removed because they were found to be allowing all kinds of crossdressers to post hypersexual content in the community carte blanche. Most older spaces for trans women (forums, irl groups etc) are more designed for crossdressers/sissies etc, and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny



It's very confusing to navigate even for me as a trans woman in these spaces so I imagine it's even more confusing from the outside from cis people's perspective, it's very likely why there's so many laws and stereotypes about trans women potentially being predators and perverts, because there's a broad class of cis men (of which there are way way more cis men with a crossdressing fetish than there is self identified trans women) with a fetish who essentially are identical looking to how a trans woman can superficially look



Like many relatives and previous friends of mine don't even talk to me anymore because they think I'm someone like this, the confusion is deep in society

Hmmm men who define and dress as women who are horny. And talk about touching their tits or cumming all the time. Doesn't sound like anybody we know no sir

Zeo doesn't believe women? Yikes

[BananaBlast]

Shift Up: Stellar Blade 2 and Project Spirits info due this year; Stellar Blade 2 self-published and expected to outperform original

I wonder how much this one will hate women. Because my god the devs set the bar for being embarrassing with the last one.

How does the first one hate women? Genuine question, haven't played it. Have seen the main character.

The positive traits of Bayonetta were beloved by fans of the game when it released initially. There was never a re-evaluation on Bayonetta, the criticisms of the work have remained valid and plenty of people still can't enjoy the game. But it's always had its own fandom and critics.

Let's be real here it's night and day. Bayonetta is the center of attention and wants to be it. She owns her sexuality and uses it as a weapon. Eve is everything wrong with female objectifation in gaming, her character is completely asexual but the developers dress her up like a sex doll.

It's what misogynists look for in female sexuality, they want women to be docile and submissive, their sexuality existing for the enjoyment of men. Not something women are allowed to acknowledge, own and even enjoy themselves.

Some of y'all cannot act normal about this game. If it released to a piss poor reception and high sales I'd understand, but it didn't. It reviewed very well and even sold well, especially for a first time major game from a mobile dependent studio. Not unlike Lies of P.

IMO Stellar Blade was a surprisingly good time with a fun combination of traditional character action and a soulslike. Amazing soundtrack, great visuals, satisfying parry combat, and extremely polished. The storytelling was the only huge blemish.

Are we supposed to forgive them for being raging, blatant, unrepentant misogynists just because their game sold well?

Can you go into detail on this and answer Lowrys question to you from earlier?

I've criticized the game a lot for its character designs but you're going pretty hard with the idea that the game and the devs hate women.

well yes, the idea is that this level of objectification being normalized is a bad thing, both because it is plain bad taste and because it makes the gaming space yet more cis het male oriented. If there was a massive amount of big budget character action games without this sort of thing and this was only on a niche, like the porn magazine section in a store, then I wouldn't have as much of an issue with it.

And what kind of strange appeal to success is this? "If it released to a piss poor reception and high sales I'd understand, but it didn't. It reviewed very well and even sold well, especially for a first time major game from a mobile dependent studio. Not unlike Lies of P." Oh so if it reviews and sells well it's Objectively Good and anyone disagreeing is "not acting normal"? Come on, I don't think you actually believe that.

I don't know about 'hates women', though I'm not super up on the news. But the character design and presentation is lowest common denominator T&A swill and the character barely has a personality. As would be expected from a company whose previous game is about collecting hot anime girls. All of that by itself means there's nothing interesting to expect from them because they think in and market to unimaginative sexist defaults. I'd love to see less of that in games (proportionately--if suddenly the amount of interesting high budget non sexist stuff exploded, then whatever) so I'd love to see less success for this dev if they're going to take this approach.

Don't forget about the marketing being infested with gooner dogwhistles and the (alleged) abuse of female staff within the studio. There's just no reason to give anything related to Stellar Blade the benefit of the doubt. The game is tainted at every single level.

Are you referring to that tweet from a couple years back?

I used to refer to that as well but when I realized it was an anonymous tweet from an account that quickly disappeared and there was never any women who came forward after, it doesn't feel too responsible to keep referring to that.

(Is there another situation I'm not aware of? If so, can you link to an article?)

As far as conspiracies go this is by far the most believable and their response after it happened kind of backs it up.

I'm not gonna be conspiracy theorist here, but I can't help but feel if they were real we'd never stop hearing about them.

I'm always fascinated by this claim. Like what are they basing it on? Do they watch Fox News? MAGA heads on YouTube/etc.? Of course not, so how would they know?

The last one's literally above the fold on both Fox News and CNN at this moment:


Plus how much coverage should it get? There's literally no news to report on days when nothing happens. The one guy's dead so won't have a trial. The other guys were caught in the act. How much coverage did any of these get?

I searched to see if anyone was explaining how the newest guy was claiming to be not guilty and here's the news not reporting it:


Do they think the news and news channels should just endlessly be talking about it when they have nothing to say about it? I literally do not understand what they think should be happening in the media they don't watch anyway. "Iran? Sorry Bob, no time for that, we need to talk about how Trump got shot at in Pennsylvania in 2024!"

Oh definitely mate  Leftoids on social media were all over this story like mac and cheese, making tons of offensive jokes. But as soon as posts like:

the conflating of things like this or JD Vance doing drag as a joke for some school event with being trans makes me uncomfortable. Both from conservatives or the well meaning left, who can use it to get some schadenfreude or point to some perceived hypocrisy gotcha. I can't exactly explain it but it feels bad.

I get it. It's like we are entertaining the idea that the Conservative view point is normal so we can make fun of Conservatives for being hypocrites. But we can certainly do that without calling people out for being who they are and not hurting anyone. If the sentiment was "Look how cool her husband is and how much she sucks." I'd have less of an issue but often times it feels like people are making fun of both of them. (He's married to her so he likely sucks too, but that doesn't mean we need to be cruel.)

Not criticizing OP, they didn't make this a news story.

How many big budget character action games even star women let alone high femme idealized women? Is Stellar Blade even a big budget game?

[Jansen]

They'll give the gooners their material i'm certain of that but that doesn't automatically mean that they can't better their story, characters, women overall. Nikke is, as far as i understand, way more interesting and accomplished in its story than anybody would've guessed seeing their gooner designs. So i'm hopeful that they can get better with Stellar Blade 2 too.



Hell, some of the costumes are neat and not sexualized to hell and back.



They'll never stop with the gooning but they don't need to have a shit story, shit characters (even the men weren't safe from that) and have every single non-child women in the game running around half naked with the exact same body type. Men get to be sexy, ugly, fat, tall, half robot (without looking sexy), old, etc. They can have it both ways. Gooner stuff for like 4 women (out of like 10) and the rest can be the same as the men(fat, old, etc.).

God damn maximum yikes today

They're forever stuck in this position despite something as simple as cleavage becoming rare in AAA western games over the last 10 years. They declare sexualized games to be the standard and yet Lords of the Fallen caused a downright controversy for showing five armors that are meant to be sexy.

The simple reality is that they won't be happy until all those games are gone, regardless of what they claim.

If I can ask, who is doing the Bond OT?

🤔 why would you be worried about asking this question. 

I could throw something together if it's not taken, couldn't find it in the thread. Unless you want to, pls do if so!

tbh, I wanted to talk to them because my thought was to launch the "New Releases" embedded subforum and community reviews thread with that game, but if no one is doing it I'd be more than happy to

Yeh please take it, there's a bunch of images on the official site here: https://ioi.dk/007firstlightgame
And some animated images on the steam page:

Oh, I've made OTs before. I did the last Zelda game lol

I just don't do it very often because I really do think this stuff should be community run and me having that "General Manager" tag doesn't really work with it. tbh, I really do like making threads like that though

So bdumbs doesn’t think he’s a member of the community and also is disappointed that the community isn’t doing free work for him
