Somehow every thread with more that 10 posts by her ends up with her denying she has any authority and that she's not the arrogant one, it's everyone else.
Quote:I mean sub quality movies are going to fail regardless on genre.
IE: Ant Man 3, Supergirl, Thor 4, Eternals etc
Then you have Spider Man No Way Home, Deadpool and Wolverine, Guardians 3, Spider Man Brand New Day, Superman, The Batman, Black Panther 2 which all made money.
Thor 4 is actually in the second category.
It improved on Ragnarok's box office when taking into account that it didn't release in China.

It's a fun looter shooter, that's what they advertised and it's what they delivered
8 is not an awful score but Nintendies have mocked other games for similar scores.
I never played Splatoon 2 and 3. But I suspect most people wanted a full game that expanded the ink mechanics rather than a single player horde mode looter shooter.

It's a fucking video, everyone can see. A player is normally talking about the status of HIS TEAM MATE and he tries to take advantage of the situation like a fucking cunt/cheat or whatever and you simply cannot admit it because feelings.

the single player modes of splatoon games are so good, it's a movement system + weapon system that just feels fun to play, it's no wonder yacht club stole the swimming in the ground mechanic for mina the hollower

TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT
In dark corners of the internet, men are goading each other to masturbate in public – and on female shoppers – and post the footage.
Party wrote:Ya know, I never believed that violent video games lead to violent people mostly because the violence in video games is dramatized to a degree in most cases to separate it from reality and because violence in our society is so rightfully stigmatized.
However. I do think there is something to stories like this and the rise of gooner video games especially in the f2p space where younger more impressionable people are consuming content 16 hours a day on their phones. Is it a chicken or the egg situation? I'm not sure.
bye wrote:Nah you are definitely onto something. But it's more about platforms like Twitch and others that incentivize these people to do this and build a following for this in the first place. The problem is not video games, even though video games could be the catalyst for getting into bad online behavior. Theres a lot of throughlines with these kind of anti-social misogynistic manosphere types and online gamer communities.
Party wrote:Yeah I think there are more avenues than ever for people to fall into these spaces in the always online world. It's just a bummer that video games have become one of those spaces where people can fall into a rabbit hole of misogyny. Like sure, you could argue that games have always flaunted sex appeal, but the rise of gacha games where you can pour thousands of dollars into waifus literally puts the 'object' in objectification. Combine this with modern social media providing havens for this sort of anti-social incel behavior to fester and that's one path to how we get here.
Trey wrote:The truth of the matter is the puritanical arguments from Jack Thompson being all people ever engaged aith, gaming and tech culture's almost sycophantic resistance to any type of regulation or criticism of the space, has turned a blind eye to the many inequities and fundamental Boy Culture that has not only centralized a lot of the worst male impulses, but excused them for a long time. Many of us grew up on the Wild Wild West of the Internet where it was very much a Boys Club, and mistreatment of women (and women sensibilities) was endemic to almost all corners of gaming culture during its formative age.
I think now with the benefit of hindsight we can say that we didn't fairly engage with the criticisms of the day, and it was a disservice to the overall health of the industry, alongside our collective fealty to tech products and ubiquitous phone use.
Party wrote:Yeah... If you look at the 2000 and 2010s there definitely was this edgelord vibe in the games industry of "we need to push the medium to be as dark and gritty as possible to be taken seriously instead of just thought of just children's toys."
But instead of looking at how we can be taken more seriously as an artistic medium, games just indulged in more sex and violence as a means to be "mature". Fast forward a decade and we have games like stellar blade being celebrated as a mainstream product on the Sony event and we collectively barely blink an eye.
Notice how all three of these fucking idiots fail to address a crucial footnote in the story: the serial ejaculator was motivated by onlyfans content, and posted content onto his own onlyfans. So even if we abide by their "sexual media causes people to do this" implication, it would 100% be on pornography/onlyfans content, and not fucking video games.
Anyway great job on hearing a story about a woman traumatized after being ejaculated on by a stranger (y'know, actual sexual assault)
and then making it about fucking video games. Really helping out women and actual victims of rapist creeps.

messofanego wrote:It's important to tie gooners to sexual predation and assault, and we should use the term. These criminals identify as gooners, the communities that do this advertise themselves as such, and they're taking their gooning to the public instead of just in their gooner caves. This should tell us that anyone who identifies as a gooner deserves suspicion at least. Gooning is an unhealthy activity, it's not just masturbating, or edging, and it leads to dehumanisation of women mainly. Reminds me of the sleep rape community, in that it's men encouraging each other to rape and terrorise women: https://www.resetera.com/threads/cw-sa-cnn-exposing-a-global-online-rape-academy-that-is-teaching-men-how-to-abuse-and-evade-detection.1498156/
