I have no dog in the fight since I couldn't care less about Stellar Blade, but why can't people just ignore threads about it? It's the easiest thing. Especially with the tools this website already provides.

If you want to make suggestions, you should at least read the past few pages to see it's already been made and that it isn't a solution at all.



You know how Gamergate happened, right? You know what Gamergate led to? You know how pedophilia is normalized? How so many people get away with it for so long? Society ignores it. They say everything is worthy of being platformed then tut-tut those who are impacted by it to "calm down" while they get the luxury of having no dog in the fight until it's a decade later and everyone sadly shakes their heads on how we let pedophiles into powerful positions.



I don't think anyone here is a pedophile or wants to support pedophiles, but you don't get to sit back and pretend letting these design choices permeate these spaces with little to no push back is a passive neutral action. The status quo isn't a neutral position, it's forced, and you need to ask yourselves why it's so important to maintain when people in your community are telling you it's harming them.

You know how pedophilia is normalized?

This Ninty Direct was pretty ass compared to the other gaming shows. Just a whole bunch of ports and little in the way of gameplay or release dates for the actually interesting stuff. Their biggest game, the Ocarina of Time remake, got no gameplay shown despite it supposedly releasing this year which was a very mind boggling decision. It was such a weird presentation for Nintendo to put out considering software sales are slow right now AND they just increased the system price so you'd think there would be some urgency to pull back the curtain on their games by nope, more secrecy.

I don't understand how Nintendo sees other gaming shows where they show off all sorts of crazy sprawling gorgeous games, small snippets from throughout the game that makes everyone pumped up to get to play it...and then they spend what feels like 10 minutes DEMONSTRATING FUCKING THUMB WRESTLING which is like the least needed video gamified activity ever

you don't even need a ball, you barely need rules, the only reason anyone has ever thumb wrestled for any reason is to do it IRL when there is literally nothing else to do

how do they not learn after like 20 years of showing off embarrassments like wii music and nintendoland (which was fun but made for a dismal E3)?

Because they still wish to have the casual market back and because they know is a dry year so need to fill time.

No, how? And what?

You know how pedophilia is normalized? How so many people get away with it for so long? Society ignores it. They say everything is worthy of being platformed then tut-tut those who are impacted by it to "calm down" while they get the luxury of having no dog in the fight until it's a decade later and everyone sadly shakes their heads on how we let pedophiles into powerful positions.

This happened? Or is happening? When? Where?

[benji]

Is anyone saying "everything is worthy of being platformed" or are they saying "this isn't pedophilia"? Era posters respond to this question with "stop normalizing and defending pedophilia!"

You can see their whole thought process at work. Chuds/Gamergaters support bad things, pedophilia is bad, so obviously chuds support pedophilia. You are obligated to follow and accept my impeccable logic. You're against at least one, right?  

Meanwhile, actual chuds:

It's so easy to tell the online "feminist" who came to all of it second or third-hand through Gawker Media, Twitter or YouTube pop culture videos because they constantly strip away any of the original nuance into this good/bad dichotomy that must order anything or everything. They don't really get why the "third wave" is dubious as a feminist project versus a spectrum of individualist nonsense that stretches from dumbass "progressive" shit to cult shit. Their whole inability to grasp the underlying philosophy of the TERF and so concludes they must be some kind of evangelical desperate for Gilead is maybe just the apex version of this.

Also like their "socialism" and much else. Many such cases.

Anita Sarkesian killed and raped nuance. And people applauded when it happened.

Boring ass Nintendo shit. Yawn

Nintendies have been conditioned into being excited for years late ports 

Shocked by the amount of A ratings

https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-grade-would-you-give-the-nintendo-june-2026-direct.1546006/

Why? Nintendies live in denial.   Is again a Dry Year for Nintendo but somehow they are going to pretend is the biggest one ever. 

I should be exited for a new Xenoblade game but somehow they choose to do their own version of FE Three houses.

FACT CHECK:

Gotta say i reeeeeeally hate how chuds are using cosplayers, and now Stellar Blade 2 cosplayers, as a defense for sexualized character designs, gamergaters/chuds were hating and harassing female cosplayers for years. They are just using them now for their dumbass crusade.

No, YOU loser fucks are only using them for your dumbass crusade. You mention them only as meat shields, but conveniently avoid everything else about them, because their existence destroys your cult's shitty talking points.

This post is intentionally vague because it's too afraid to actually say anything. So "erm, gamergaters harass female cosplayers!" is just irrelevant filler noise without addressing the elephant in the room.

Come on, talk more about it. Since posting any pictures of them will get you banned, the least you can do is comment on the women who have cosplayed the evil Epstein-coded waifu. Why not talk about women supporting the Epstein game using their own bodies?

But you won't, pussy.🖕

Knew this would happen, so I got in my Odin 3 order last month and will be shipping next week hopefully. The only way to play this game is to buy asap or give up your hopes of affording the item you're hesitating on. Batch 2 Thor, Batch 7 Odin 3 and I waited too long on the Odin 3, I wish I had UFS 4.0 :(

My body is ready for this Direct, Reggiemotowata (RIP).

I want this OoT Remake to be full-blown. Don't even bother remaking it if it's just a port or a scale-up or something we can do better with Ship of Harkinian. I want like a full re-imagining for the modern era. It would be incredible but I doubt Nintendo will do that. We will probably just get a port lol. But who knows?

What does sexualized mean to these people?

*skin appears*

SEXUALIZED!!!

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Can't say I entirely disagree. It's all PR babble nothing that they showed will move the needle significantly nor will a 25 year anniversary Xbox Series X model.
Xbox will continue to sink or maybe keep the small market they have left but Swich 2 and PS5 will stay ahead and Switch 2 makes Series S entirely obsolete.

Like Dunkey said in his last video, Microsoft lost to Concord era PlayStation. And why 25 years, Xbox won't last 25 days. 

There won't be anything significant on Project Helix that won't be on PS5 or Switch 2. This'll be like the Xbox One X a short adrenaline rush that runs out of gas soon enough. Another HALO, Fable, Gears of War won't save it. They can't rewind the clock 25 years, there isn't nostalgia for Xbox like there is for Nintendo. They killed that off during their woke retard controller era.

It's over.

Blade by Arkane will save Xbox, chuddy 

R i p XBOX cuz that game ain't coming out

No more milking for you.

User banned (1 day): antagonizing other posters

how was this not posted by MDCrabCakeFan86

Fagatha gets 3 months and this cis male only gets 1 day.  That trans punishment multiplier

A bunch of people received 1 day bans for bulling Mr Baltimore City, including that idiot Lobo.

When I saw he was banned I had assumed it was the He-Man box office thread that was gonna do him in:

Someone was live streaming the movie yesterday on TikTok and my nephew broadcasted it to our TV so we could see it on a bigger screen. Yikes that movie was not good. I totally get why Gen Z doesn't go to movie theaters anymore. They just watch it for free in unconventional ways.

I guess most of the kids in my family including my kids are poor because that's the biggest reason  why they don't go to movies. I can see rich and upper middle class kids affording the luxury

Pretty much every new movie is streaming at any time on TikTok. Quality sucks but these kids are used to watching TV on their phones

I might be out of touch but I have teen kids and many nephews and nieces. They don't go to movie theaters and watch everything on their phones so I'm just basing all kids on the way they watch things. We've offered to take them to the movies and they don't want to go

Not my kids and they're gonna watch it regardless without my TV. My nephew was just showing me that he could put TikTok on my TV to see the movie that he was already watching. That's on their parents (brother in law and my sister). Also I love marathon and would never let my kids pirate stuff.

It's the natural response though as it's hard to understand how this happens if you do have female friends. You have to look at yourself to understand what others are doing or not doing differently. We need to figure out what's wrong with the guys that don't. Whether they're unable to connect with women because they're misogynist already, or vice versa for example.

These types of posts always rustle my jimmies, they just jump straight to misogyny can’t be anything else

He-Man box office thread

I dunno why but something gives me the feeling that Amazon will be the first company to heavily use AI writing in it's films/shows. There was just something entirely weird/off about the absolutely shit-tier dialogue and awkward dead-time/wasted moments in between scenes of that He-Man movie. No way they could have paid writers to be that bad, unless it was AI influenced or potentially they just hired some rookies with no prior experience.

 

But beyond that … are you suggesting your okay condoning your nephew using your devices to promote piracy so long as you believe the movie is "not good"? 🤔

Do you believe creatives should not get paid for their work because it's for Amazon or something?

Help me out here… your words: "Gen Z doesn't go to movie theaters anymore. They just watch it for free in unconventional ways."…

You're literally the unc who could have set them kids right and said "hey, we don't pirate movies… let's find a better way."

To be clear though…

You do see the part where you're condoning and participating in actual piracy by allowing them kids to use your TV to project said stolen image to a larger audience that includes yourself… right?

Are there any other non-essentials you're okay with them stealing because they're poor? Or just the works of creatives? Are video games on or off the table?

For example, Marathon is a game that didn't set the Steam CCU numbers on fire, should they steal that?

If this is the mindset, yeah I can see why MoTU didn't do well at the box office.

 

Lolol you doing ok?

Nope.

Seeing someone casually bash a film they pirated from a low quality copy off TikTok turns out to be mildly irksome to someone who makes income off selling fiction. Fiction that people have pirated.

This is quite a common thing I have seen in other mediums, where people are primarily focused on their own enjoyment without any consideration for the industry itself.

Game collectors is one that is pretty bad. I routinely see game collectors who spend thousands on games throughout the year and they will talk about wanting to play a new game but refuse to actually buy it new because of the cost and they will wait until it's cheaper pre-owned.

I totally understand costs being an issue but you do also have to support the things you care about because without that, things are just going to get worse and worse and you will end up no longer getting those things. Care about physical games? Make sure you actually buy them to show you care, especially as someone who can do so financially.

I'm going to see it tonight and my local theatre seems pretty packed, which is odd for a tuesday night showing. Kind of feels like this movie is going to have WoM legs, maybe?
