Still baffles me how people hold up Bayonetta as "empowering sexuality" when she was blatantly designed by degenerate devs coming up with a character they want to fuck.

Platinum's track record of designing female characters before and after Bayonetta does not help in the slightest.

Curious, now Resetera is completely dismissing the opinion of that female games journo. Why is it okay this way around?

I can't believe people are still dredging up this long debunked nonsense. Might as well call it a Murder Simulator while you're at it.

The 'male gaze' likes tig old bitties and a curvy ass, or more specifically child bearing thighs and child feeding udders because thats how our primate brains are wired.
Women like tall 'statuesque' figures with long legs.

Compare fashion models whose role is basically clothes hangars for a female audience, with porn stars whose role is fulfilling male sexual desire.
Sophie Dee isn't a runway model and Kate Moss isn't a porn star.

Bayonetta is not proportioned to be a traditional male fantasy - her exageratted proportions are all in the length of her legs, not her T&A.
The nudity is part of the whole fucking 'witchcraft' aspect, because going skyclad is traditionally ritualistic, as are all the references to the moon, again, very specific feminine energy motifs.

"peeple just wanna love her boobies and thats ok but they gotta not [retend shes anythingg good cos thet look silly and she got ps2 fish face"

TwoTrolls just openly mocking the community with this baby talk. You gotta be 10 kinds of Slayven not to see through this.

[kaleidoscopium]

"Can we just spend some time to appreciate "her"?"

15 second smash cuts of Eve just flipping around, nothing is said about "her", nothing is shown about "her".

This is, at best, terrible marketing. And I feel this is in line with the grand majority of things I've seen about this game. It had failed, at every turn, to express why this game is interesting, instead spending the undue time focusing on dumb ancillary nonsense like her walk animation or her butt physics or her skin suit.

It, IMO, expresses a dramatic lack of confidence in their gameplay and narrative systems. Not since code vein has a games' pre release marketing made me feel like they think they have a stinker in their hands.

Edit: even the Sony posted mini trailer says nothing about the character, the situation or the motivations. It's just a basically static panning shot followed by a bunch of smash cuts. They have failed to make me understand why I should care about anyone presented in this video game.

Releasing a demo at all a month in advance blatantly shows they have confidence in their gameplay, what are you waffling about.

[Eric Cartman]

I have a modest proposal:
everyone who has a problem with idealised character designs in videogames should only play games where they are the main character.
As they actually are.
No makeup, no filters, no artistic interpretation.
Just a photogrammetric scan of what they as a human actually look like.

I can't see how that would be anything other than exactly what the likes of Kyuji, ClickyCal, TheEchosOfTheCyborg et al really want.
An unmodified representation of their real world body in digital form.

I also have a headmate that's a massive racist.

*starts spamming the n-word*

*ResetEra does nothing because they're fucking retards*

What else is new?


Anyways, have some cool stuff from my youtube homepage. Big Mouth Billy Bass going at it. (My favourite part is it being a rip-off that says Rainbow Trout on it.)

Twohearts may actually be the most interesting Era troll yet--That post reads like something they'd say came from the kid, who is banned from the forum, but there's like zero way staff could actually prove that any given post was written by any given alter, so how could they even begin to moderate without being disrespectful of systems in general? That's setting aside the general cringe that comes from someone constantly posting about what kids like/prefer based on the opinions of what is definitely not the average kid.

If there's a very thin, silver lining to the terminally-online dystopia that is our 21st-century world, it's that the same process where the petty tyrant next door or in the cubicle across from us gets drawn into toxic online echo-chambers that enable radicalized behaviors so extreme as to threaten his standing in society seems to be increasingly playing out with many of the planet's legitimately powerful and wealthy figures. (If at levels of exposure and degrees of megalomania greater by orders of magnitude.) The runaway narcissism of it all, requiring virtually nonstop feeding of the ego by an army of online sycophants and spiraling into utter intolerance of any dissenting voices, accelerates like nothing else does the inevitable, very public ripping away of the mask, revealing the sheer insanity underneath for all to see. We've seen once-beloved luminaries like Trump, Musk, Roseanne Barr, Scott Adams, etc., wreck or curtail their "box office" mainstream following because they could no longer keep the raging narcissist within contained.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

Talk about things you to do help people. Even if it's not directly applicable, it shows that you're a caring person which they look for. This can be in your family, with your friends, in the greater community. One thing that helped us for this stuff is that we're very involved in the local trans community and we for a time helped moderate a local trans server. Shows we want to help people and work with people.

I can'tt remember specific questions, but generally they'll ask stuff like why you want to work with kids, if you have experience working with kids, what stuff you do for other people, and you may also get asked what ages and what topics you're passionate about and why. For instance we were asked that and said we want to teach early primary because we want to help children learn the fundamentals. If possible, it's good to be pleasant when going through the interview. A big part of it is judging your soical skills to an extent because that's a big part of teaching, especially teaching kids, so if you don't seem calm and like you want to be there, it oculd maybe be points against you.

With Rowling having only recently experienced her first genuinely threatening setback with mainstream followers by engaging in unabashed Holocaust denial, I feel like her big, catastrophic mask-off moment can't be very far in the future, at this point. Her sort is so high on its own supply and so increasingly insulated, I have complete confidence that the overstep is inevitable. Of course, because of her wealth and power, the fall will be far softer and more prolonged that it would be for us poors. But it is coming, IMO.

You guys keep acting like the backlash against her wasn’t worse two or three years ago.

[Besticus Maximus]

The holocaust denial claim is basically charging her with blasphemy

They're worse than the mormons when it comes to claiming the dead

[Boredfrom]

Well, her straight up misgendering people isn't going to get people to admit she's a transphobe, so it's going to make them all feel like it's totally fair and not hateful at all to misgender trans people because the prime minister said it was 'biological fact'.

Just like calling sexually abused hostages “sex slaves”.

How can Dice post that without a zero hint of self awareness. I don't get it

[NekoFever]

I’ll laugh if they’re banned not for being an obvious troll but because they’re letting the child headmate post when they promised not to.

self-awareness is a foreign concept on era.

I can't believe Joker is about to have all of the dudebros in theaters watching a musical with our lady the mother Lady Gaga

I'm sorry, but after duetting with R. Kelly and defending him against "the press" when he was in hot water and performing with him on SNL even, then only denouncing him after a six-part docuseries about his crimes created an uproar in two-thousand-fucking-19, there is really no need to refer to her this way. It's not like she didn't know what he was accused of, either, it was 2013 during the collaboration -- ten years after Chappelle had dropped "I Wanna Pee on You." The girl involved in that incident was 14. I have no idea why Gaga gets such a huge pass for any of this.

[kaleidoscopium]

Such a long post praising the game to settle on how it sucks because… Eve is hot. That really is her complaint, this game is very well made and plays great the main character is just TOO hot.

After all the chud related violence and anarchy in theaters that the first inspired, I think it'll be best if I wait for streaming.

[HaughtyFrank]

I like that she also complaints that the main character is depicted as struggling in the beginning. Like wow, wouldn't it be crazy if there's something like character growth? But I guess that's always been their idea of a strong female character, someone who is strong and badass right from the get go

[Besticus Maximus]

Kyuuji's problem is that the character is too old

[Uncle]

Other posters talking around twohearts like she didn't just write some weird shit seems like dismissing concerns.

optimal strategy here: burn an account calling him/her out, talking about how insanely problematic it is, get banned, force the mods to codify that this kind of insanity is allowed and will be defended at all costs

[kaleidoscopium]

Haven’t played the demo yet but from the sounds of it they’re pretty clearly doing the “she’s a fish out of water and will get good over the course of the game. Here’s an example of a character who’s already good look what Eve will become like”. The fact these retards can’t even glean that from the limited videos let alone PLAYING the demo… well we already know they lack media literacy.
