Watching this Nintendo direct, are these aimed at children or man babies? 

The way these voiceovers speak it’s like they’re talking to 5 year olds but I bet the mentally stunted man children are lapping this up, talking about Pikmin

That's how it always goes. But then they announce a new 2D Metroid and all is forgiven

One of the little known facts about Rosa Parks is she’d spent most of her life being chauffeured in limousines. The incident that made her famous only happened because her driver was ill that day so she took public transport for the first time. 

She thought she would have a whole bus to herself and was horrified when she discovered she had to share it with the unclean lower classes. What finally set her off though was when the conductor asked her if she’d move to the back of the bus to make room for a disabled Korean child. That was the last straw and she demanded to speak to a manager while ranting about just who it was that won the war. Thus becoming the prototype for Karens everywhere.

Amiibo are still a thing?

My god I can only imagine the type of people freaking out over new toys

Man from watching that I can safely say that my suspicions of Nintendo fans is confirmed; they’re all fucking children trapped in men’s bodies, these games are for teenagers/pre teens/little kids and they lap them up, just mental how they’ve never grown up they’re just stuck playing the same shit they did when they were kids.

[Boredfrom]

Holy shit, that was a bad direct. Only 2D Metroid and 3D Kirby to get excited.

[jooseloose]

New 2D Metroid

[Boredfrom]

“New Mario Kart World tracks”

Yay

“They are Remakes from SNES tracks and already in the game.”

Ayyy fuck you.

I saw a Bluey adult out in the wild once. It was this morbidly obese guy in Bluey pajamas on a mobility scooter. He looked like came from a TLC show

Like I know who Anne frank is and I know what a goku is

Then you know all there is to know. 

It'd be pretty weird if, for example, someone had the username "JonBenetRamseySailorMoon" or "JeffreyEpsteinPickachu". Adding an "x" doesn't actually add anything to give it a greater meaning.

I don't know what you guys were expecting, but recent Nintendo Directs have basically been port after port after port, plus maybe two Nintendo games. I saw Metroid. I'm not a fan of Dread, but I still gave it a B.

Lmao

Welp, thats the Proclaimers joining in the transphobic brainrot. Annoyingly the source on this is the Telegraph, and they can fuck off too.

I suppose I shouldn't be massively surprised after they endorsed the Alba Party.

"There's women, actual women, who are threatened with violence – sometimes get violence – and de-platformed because they have the temerity to say that a woman is an adult human female," says Craig. "And they are shouted down by 0.5 per cent in a population who are male and who think that because they put on a dress, and they put on make-up, that that makes them a female."
"People have lost their careers over that," says Charlie. "[Graham] Linehan was the obvious one. None of his pals stood up for him. I wouldn't agree with everything Linehan says any more than I would do with JK Rowling," he continues of the Harry Potter author, whose vociferous support of women's rights, like Linehan's, has led to her being pilloried by the trans lobby. "But you've got the right to stand up for science and logic. And in his case, it's a tragedy. He lost his career for telling the truth."
They insist that they say this not with bile. "It's incredulity at a lot of what's going on," clarifies Craig, although he will allow that their views could be a function of age. "Anybody, as they get older, maybe that [feeling] does take over. You don't understand the way that the world is now the way that you did before. Maybe that's true. But some of the stuff I see now, it's laughable."

"But you've got the right to stand up for science and logic."

Says the person ignoring science.

Every time someone comes on with the argument that there are only two sexes and/or genders and it's just whether you have XX or XY chromosomes, I am reminded of Terry Pratchett's concept of Lies-to-children.

The incredibly oversimplified version of sex you were taught in grade school isn't the entire truth, ya bigoted asshats.

These people are fucking retards

[Nintex]

I thought it was a great direct but I'm biased because I watched the stream on a smartphone on a girls knee at the videogame museum until her break was over.
Nintendo does not aim it at manbabies as much as they aim it at girls who like cute things like Pokemon and Pikmin.

She was hoping for Mario Kart DLC, I wanted a new Metroid.

Her basic response to seeing Pikachu with a new ribbon was this    and shared in 4 different group chats.
She had to go back to work before Mario Kart showed up but I assume she is very happy with the SNES tracks added to VS mode.

[benji]

It's a girl who was gassed during the Holocaust.

Factually incorrect. Typhus epidemic in the anti-Zionist camps.

Ah, great wise one allow this humble lesser to ask to be enlightened: what is the third sex? And how does it reproduce?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

[benji]

And let's not pretend that Anne Frank was some "victim" rather than another example of hasbara against those who resist the Zionist project. There are many subaltern scholars from the Islamic world and Global South who doubt she even existed and have determined the diary is more hasbara. Don't forget, Zionists are the biggest antisemites around. They will gladly let a group of Jewish people be sacrificed to generate support for their genocidal project.

Could you post this on Era and get away with it? I report, you decide.

[HaughtyFrank]

Does he even play video games at all? Maybe that’s what’s triggered him

Echoes gets extremely triggered anytime there's even a slight suggestion of some people not being real fans so I think this is absolutely the case.

I wonder why they don’t make the connection between fan Larpers and culture war. Comicsgate is probably the biggest comic fan larp around, but somehow they don’t associate it with a negative.

I understand why corpos don’t mind (expanding the brand and market share), but these past decades has showed us how larpers will act worse than any no life gatekeeper they bitch about.

[benji]

Echoes is constantly bitching that games aren't providing what he wants and gaming communities aren't offering what he wants or acting in ways he wants. He constantly throws accusations that other people are not real fans because they don't like something in the same way he does. Of course he's triggered by accusations of LARPing as a fan, anyone who pays attention to him would suspect it and probably has voiced it which leads to more screeds about what other people are doing that he doesn't like and want someone to police for him.

He never frames his criticism of the games/community in the sense of "boy I love this shit but here I am acknowledging the parts we all hate" like say noting that the meta of some game eliminates wide swaths of characters from being viable in online or a more competitive way. It's always some lame weirdo shit about PICKIN A GIRL CHARACTER HUH GIRLS AREN'T STRONG SO THEY'RE THE WORST POKEMON TRAINER that somebody probably said twenty years ago and he didn't even interpret correctly in the first place because he's a moron.

[Boredfrom]

Honestly, the reactions here are reminding me a lot of stuff I remember seeing a few years back from "fandoms" like Dragon Ball, YGO and Warhammer 40,000 against fans who's first exposure to their favourite media was online YouTube videos like Dragon Ball Abridged, YGOTAS and If the Emperor Has A Text-To-Speech Device with the same type of mentality of calling them fake fans, their opinions less valid or they were "annoying"...

Well, your opinions will be less valid and more annoying if your takes are based on fandom works. I don’t think that is a controversial take.
