I love how this guy messes up easy layups

Age discourse- instead of confirming that the MC is obviously an adult he says he made her look younger than eve

Instead of just saying he likes sexy girls, he's going full Kojima "you will he ashamed of your words and deeds"

Are you really saying this on the same fucking page where others are literally screeching "I don't care if she is 30 years old, she still has the face of a teenager, that means it's obviously LiTeRaL pEdOpHiLiA!!!"?!?!

You know that wouldn't do shit, you reptilian motherfucker!

We also don't know how old Evie is. Just that she's "young". But I bet in the following months they're gonna say Evie is around 18-20 just so they skirt around her appearance while giving a wink to pedos and you bet a loooooot of gamers and the media will eat that up, sadly.

He's such a gooner he probably gets off on being so blatant about it. Definitely not a mistake.

Yeah, just as you pedo gooners type these kinds of posts one-handed:

And they still can go fuck themselves if they redesign her, they do this shit on purpose i just learned OG Eve also looked way too young.
Shift Up, designed a 13 year old girl, then put her on a skin tight suit, gave her jiggly ass and boob physics, and oogled her with the camera.
You can't make a pedo appealing character design for a few years them bump her up to 25 and say "everything is solved".
Evil ass studio

Intentionally made her younger, also intentionally made the camera show off her ass jiggle and every other inch of her skintight bodysuit/corset fetish gear with the holes cut into it all over that rides all the way up said ass, also made that the focal image of the game's PR.

Every game this studio makes is goonshit and they're only getting creepier and more leering with time.

She's quite literally a 13 year old child with the body of a sex doll and jiggle physics. Anybody "sneakily" (you are not being sneaky, we're not stupid) ignoring the very obvious elephant in the room going straight to praise how great the game looks should have their hard drives checked.

I thought the game looked cool until she took off the parka cloak thing and her ass cheeks each had individual jiggle physics, and then I remembered the secondhand embarrassment that stopped me from playing the first game.

I don't have a problem with a certain level of sexualization sometimes, but these games just take it so far that it's like nails on a chalkboard to the cringe center of my brain. The new protag looking about 14 just makes it worse.

blink-182's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket turns 25 years old today.







The band is celebrating by putting the six bonus tracks on streaming for the first time ever via a new 25th Anniversary Edition of the album.



These songs (two of which are below) were previously split between three different versions of the original album, have never been released together and weren't on streaming because of record label legal issues.

So Stella Blade 1 is like Sigourney Weaver and Stella Blade 2 is like Cailee Spaeney

[Jansen]

Oh god I just had a thought regarding a very plausible scenario.

Shift Up tweaks Evie's face during the next year or so to make her look more believable as an 18-20 year old.
The next trailer showcases a lot more gameplay, story moments, Eve's reveal, great visuals and different outfits.
Chuds notice Evie looks slightly older, and that's their main takeaway from the trailer.
Grummz launches StellarGate 2.0 by petitioning on Change.org to "make Evie look young again."
Every signature and video of support is an insane self report.

This is normal.

This just tells you they are addicted to the drama rather than having any real concerns about pedophilia. It's just a game for them.

RE users showing their whole ass as AI slop lovers 

The game is average overall, but the amount of effort behind it is insane and they're a textbook example of why a dev would use AI. The scope behind each of their game updates is insane. They've basically made an unending single-player MMO where the content is, for the most part, a really consistent level of quality and NOT slop. 

any well adjusted videogame enjoyer would commend this studio, but it's Ree so...

I saw a lot of talk about this game being a 6/10 that bamboozled a lot of people into playing it just because they were starved for content like this

but then if you look at where the game started compared to where it is now after a few months of updates, some people say it's gained actual points of value on that scale, to 7/10 or even 8/10, really rapid improvement and smoothing over rough edges

and now they're even saying they're going to improve the overall story of the game which would entail new cutscenes/voice recording and all that, which seems unprecedented

Mazi claims living in Iran:

as someone living in iran, it's pretty satisfying seeing all the delusional monarchists having meltdowns over the prospect of a deal being signed. the same people who were hooting and hollering and dancing when their country was being bombed and innocent people being killed, didn't say a word when a school full of kids was bombed (most of them to this day think it was done by iran itself), called the whole war a humanitarian campaign from us/israel to help iranian people, etc. hopefully the shame of this ordeal and realizing that their useless "prince" will never set foot in iran will make some of them come to their senses and realize that any change in iran will come from the people within it, not begging actual convicted war criminals to bomb their country.

I dunno why you will get satisfaction that your oppressive ( assuming he is living there ) government is going to get stronger and nastier because the incompetence of Trump and the brutality of Israel. Specially since your government will be directly involved on more deaths and atrocities for years to come while Trump just has three years and the Irani diaspora is relatively free from the clutches of your theocracy.

I would argue that Helldivers 2 is a poor satire on capitalism and fascism because the fact remains you play as the fascists with the explicit goal and win state of accomplishing further imperialism. The game provides no mechanics or systems with which to rebel against the empire (indeed, the friendly fire in the game provides a hindrance), only increasingly higher stakes against the empire's existence, and it's up to you to come together with all of your other fascists buddies to do whatever it takes to win and continue spreading managed democracy. Ultimately, making fun of something or calling out propaganda in a tongue-in-cheek way does not mean you have successfully critiqued what you're making fun of or written a work that's subversive of the object of mockery.

Still a fun game tho' lol.

EDIT: Realized this was about movies only and not works as a whole........... Fuck it, it stays; I'm on like 3 hours of sleep.

 

Ultimately, making fun of something or calling out propaganda in a tongue-in-cheek way does not mean you have successfully critiqued what you're making fun of or written a work that's subversive of the object of mockery.

Bitch, you wear a dogsuit, draw dog cartoons and write about Sonic and Big the Cat going ass to mouth with globs of jizz on their cocks.  You provide no mechanics or systems with which to rebel against being subjected to you writing about hedgehog cock.  No, go fuck yourself.  The authoritative tone about history, politics, art, and critique while having nothing to show for yourself is really cheesing me off.  I'm cheesed tf off rn!!!  Art can critique a system by subtly showing you how it justifies itself, how its participants rationalize atrocities, or whatever, it doesn't have to literally shout in your ear about right and wrong or give you quests from a Nelson Mandela NPC to go find the Druid Of the Ibram X Kendi Forest to learn about the concept of evil. Dr. Strangelove wasn't a good satire because the characters do not successfully dismantle the military-industrial complex?  I'm cheesed.  And to reiterate: You wear a dogsuit.  Fuck you. So simple-minded she sees “game makes you serve the fascist empire” with “game endorses the fascist empire and has nothing to say." American Psycho endorses murder because Patrick Bateman doesn’t exercise proper self-care talking it out with an affordable therapist, with his whole ass.  Why.  Not.  You.  Stupid.  Bastard.  Durrr a successfull critique requires the dialectic to subvert the object of mockery with...wait....no...stop...which one of us watched Zootopia 2 multiple times in theaters. Okay, we're done.  I think we're done here.  All in all, Need For Speed: Heat should not be slept on. It wasn't just it's ability to tell a fun adventure story with appealing characters, but to do so while skillfully weaving in themes regarding police corruption, race, and power into the workings of an arcade racing game that is relatable and worth commending. I was pleasantly surprised, I remain enthralled weeks after the fact, and I'm hoping like hell we return to Miami in the next installment with these same characters to see how Torres will lead the fight and how the Rivera siblings will respond to her department.

what makes you think you 100% know the goal of the person putting out the message?

maybe they didn't want to go scorched earth on the subject of their satire and only ever intended to give a surface level ribbing with more of a focus on the story than critique?

like who the fuck cares if they don't have a character walk onto stage at the end like a shitty old morality play and directly state to the audience "bad things are bad and good things are good, chuddies?" they're allowed to tell the story they want to tell any way they want to tell it, including even supporting fascism if they feel like it

[Propagandhim]

Nepenthe is 100% certain that she's correct about everything, so why wouldn't other people in the position to make art explicitly make all of those explicit ideas about race and class conflict, oppressors and victims, and justice legible in their games so people can realize the political commitment necessary...unless they didn't know the theory or were bad people. This is why Lucio is basically Jean Valjean on rollerblades to Nepenthe.   You see...Lucio is the vessel and instrument of revolution, as an artist...and yet, he was just a puppy.  And the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution....

Speaking of creeper Zeo...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/rebecca-black-speakerphone-first-single-from-upcoming-album.1550029/

The first single from her upcoming as-of-now untitled third album.

(Or second album, as no one can seem to agree if Salvation was an EP or an LP.)

I'm digging it. It's almost certainly the opening track from the album and will likely play better in the full rotation.

Am I getting old, I don't understand this genre of music. It feels like a bunch of random noises as the person talks about nonsense in a weird voice. Is this what white people think rap sounds like?

A thread about the sexual objectivication of children is not the place for this kind of discourse at all, and certainly not the place to start wishing for developers to become "less reluctant to use sex appeal as a tool". Read the room, mate.

She's quite literally a 13 year old child with the body of a sex doll and jiggle physics. Anybody "sneakily" (you are not being sneaky, we're not stupid) ignoring the very obvious elephant in the room going straight to praise how great the game looks should have their hard drives checked.

I like how they just assert it's about children. Have there been any posts breaking down why it's so obviously a child? I assume not because that would be creepy. Yet they all think it's just so obvious.

The "it's ephebophilia not pedophilia" excuse unfortunately really ruined discourse. Everyone who's ever mockingly said that is someone who also if being honest would admit that yes, there is a difference. They assume acknowledging this difference and why there's a difference means we have to make it acceptable. Because they confuse understanding something for acceptance. No, we can understand why females who are biologically fertile are attractive to men without saying older men should definitely take advantage of and impregnate them.

Notice how desperate they are to make any mention of Asian beauty standards to be illegitimate. Because they have no response to the obvious fact that Asia places a greater prioritization on cuteness than the West. (This is why so many transbians signal "I'm cute" in their photos.) And youth plays a significant factor in cuteness. 

They need it to be overt lurid depravity instead because this is their "one joke critique."

So it should be a completely different game? In which you're fighting and defeating the empire?

But... we don't need the game to spell it out because we all recognize these things are bad? So the complaint is merely that depiction = endorsement? That no one can bring outside knowledge into media?

"Butbutbut what if someone plays it without that knowledge and thinks its cool and adopts those views?"

Okay? How is this the rest of ours problem? We should all be denied ART because some people don't have the knowledge to engage with it critically? Or to understand that just because they engage with some media, and possibly even enjoy it, they don't need to adopt anything from it?

I'm reluctant to question the critical power of someone who has written such beloved paeans to the thoughtful worlds of Need For Speed: The Run and Bluey, who exclusively plays a single character in a FPS because of their out-of-game backstory and constantly demands other people read while never demonstrating doing this except for a children's book but there's something stunted about being needing yourself to be affirmed by everything you encounter and your hand held to the "correct" way to feel about everything in it. And that if you're not, it's a failure of the author. Reading/watching/listening/playing/learning/etc. is not a passive enterprise, we maintain agency.

I understand it probably won't make a difference, but I will be reporting this thing to my local child protection services.

  
 
bruh there are actual kids in awful home situations and you're gonna waste CPS' valuable time reporting a popular videogame. this has to be a troll, nobody is replying to this guy.
   
 

I wouldn't say it was perfectly legitimate, best believe women were complaining back then when the sexploitation was worse and absolutely one-sided. Like if Last of Us released during the 90s there's a non zero chance Ellie would have winded up with some bikini trash design for the sole purpose of sex appeal, despite the tone and seriousness of the game.

 
 
Again with the "heheh imagine xyz character in a trashy outfit...heheh...how gross...". normal people do not talk like this.

Personally, I feel sorry for all the former booth babes who now have to turn to Only Fans to make a living.

[benji]

Was it really worse? I feel like a mass pedophile conspiracy to destroy women's rights and enshrine fascism globally is a bit worse than booth babes or bikinis in Game Shark ads.
