>Around the time we were considering contacting EGS, a game came out. To avoid offending anyone, I’m not going to refer to it by name; we’ll call it The Game. I’d had the chance to play The Game in Japanese, and I felt it was probably one of the best games released. It was clever, fun, and had a real message to tell; through insidious satire it mercilessly pointed out and called out the worst of Japan’s nerd culture, all while containing incredibly human, incredibly touching stories.

>The Game was released in America shortly before all of this began. It wasn’t given anything close to the treatment it deserved. Its localization was flat, the characters lost much of their point, and what was insidious, yet almost indignant satire was played straight, giving a lot of people the wrong image. The Game does not have a good reputation over here, and frankly, the American version probably deserves it. Some people saw through to what it really was, but I can’t blame anyone who didn’t.

Goon thinking Ar Tonelico 2, a waifu RPG had biting satire in it.

This reminds me of that amazingly hilarious tumblr analysis about how Kill la Kill is actually feminist commentary on how men are evil womanbit-looking-at creatures.

Social justice warriors do this weird thing where they assume something is satirizing a subject just because it contains that subject. This VN contains a wholly neutral portrayal of otaku meant to appeal to both normal people and arouse pride in otaku? Definitely satirizing otaku, then!

It's just one of those weird normiethink cognitive dissonance things. They think in terms of who's 'on their side' and if no one is on their side they're losing, so they have to make it that someone or something is in their minds.

It's a fight against something called "Cool Japan(?) or whatever.

I don't know, as a collective group I really like their fanzines and they do good work on articles and reviews listed on the website(they also have really smart philosophies on writing about the anime scene), but I absolutely hate whoever is behind the twitter account, if it's even one person, which I assume. Every day I get a little closer to just clicking unfollow over some of the shit that comes out from the person representing the site. Just recently the account made a joke about Kancolle which people tried to engage him/them about, and the response is a snarky little snip about joke etiquette. They're smart people but they're not very funny, and some of the shit they say convinces me they have an ugly, poisonous attitude, if it's even an act in the first place.

It's toss up between me appreciating their work and feeling bewildered over a well-written article stating i'm a loser for collecting PVC figures.

I don't understand the context of your post, but regardless CD is just about the only group out there releasing high quality material in relationship to anime culture in the West. Everything else is pretty much reviews over shitty fansubs and useless weekly episode blogs(calling them reviews is too much credit), or begrudging websites putting their hands down the pockets of publishers, contradicting every word they say.

I'm butthurt too that they called me a loser for consuming anime figures, but let's be real here. I wish they would do things more frequently, and be less dickheads about it, but they are smart.

Do you know what 'context' means? Here's the context of my post: you said something retarded and I corrected you. "I-I don't know what context that's in!" isn't just a ham-fisted battlecry for you to blurt out whenever you run into a brick wall on your flowchart.

Old LPs and the new LPs are almost two entirely different entities, the former was always about showing and talking about the game while the latter is more often than not about the person playing the game.

It when video LPs started getting steam and people realised they could make money off of Youtube when things really started going to shit.

So it's a great idea gone to shit. It's a pity. You take a game that you might really love, and want to share with people, and what do you do? You make it about you, of course.

Honestly though, this would be more tolerable if people didn't encourage the fuckers.

Let's be honest, unless the guy was really knowledgeable, the game was really obscure and the research was really through and informative, which was not always the case with the goons - Screenshot and Text Let's Plays are choke full of inside jokes and made up witty dialogue - let's plays were always SHIT!

I've done text commentary video LPs for a couple games and they've turned out pretty favourably. I think the key is to make sure your commentary engaging and relevant, while sprinkling it with a little personality so it doesn't read like an instruction manual.

But I think most of that has to do with not being a retard and knowing both games like the back of my hand. Not speaking over the game works in its favour, because people are forced to watch and learn something instead of treating it like background noise. Plus, I vowed to get everything done as cleanly and efficiently as possible and cut out as much filler as I could.

Youtube's annotations are really fucking tedious though.

I can understand the sentiment, but I think the issue with that mentality is rooted in the fact that most 'new' LPs are completely irredeemable, have minimal effort invested in them and the person playing the game is either a mouth breather or shit at the game (usually both).

Someone who's knowledgeable about the game and isn't intolerable and actually willing to put the effort in can add a new spin or perspective on things and you'll probably learn something from it.

But saying that, I'm not someone who watches or reads LPs either, because I'd rather play the game than watch someone else too. I don't think many people actually watch the 'full series' of an LP, especially when so many people drag it on for over 50 parts, do a blind run or spend more time talking about themselves than explaining what they're doing.

I browsed ytmnd but I was never an active member of the community. I never even had an account. I found the site around 2003 and always went to it to find anything I thought funny. I knew about 4chan because people in the comments usually berated site makers for "stealing" their image from 4chan, or site-makers themselves would credit 4chan, but after browsing 4chan for a little while I didn't think it was worth it. Even if they did supposedly produce the images, ytmnd added their own spin to it. As for SA, I mostly saw it as a forum and I never particularly enjoyed forums or the prospect of an internet identity. YTMND had a community but you could browse the site completely apart from it. That was the line of thinking that made me stick with ytmnd until 2006/2007. I still browse the site today, just not as regularly as I used to. It doesn't help that it's crawling with try-hard losers who make sites with sizes over 10mb on servers that can't handle the load. If it depended on today's generation of YTMNDers, "lol, internet" would be full of style effects and accompanied by the full "running in the nineties" song. I've digressed a little, but the point is I don't entirely regret my choice, specially considering what I hear about SA.

SA was at its peak in like 2003 so don't feel too bad about it.

As a site founded on making fun of people it was brought down by the recognition that all of the regulars were losers themselves and later the SJW community would seal the coffin. I don't really care about the SJW viewpoints necessarily they just make it really hard to tell jokes wherever their presence is large.

SA is a forum populated entirely by castrated idiots. SA has the most smug userbase of any forum community on the entire planet, and people actually get caught up in this mentality and actually view their absurdly strict policies as "rite of passage", as though they've ascended the hierarchy by being one of them.

They literally use phrases like "posting career" and go into mental breakdowns from being judged harshly by their SA peers. Even this already flimsy foundation for their website has become somehow worse as the moderation staff has become more biased in their views (mostly liberal), and issues bans and probations for basically anything that betrays their sociopolitical viewpoints.

Basically their whole community are a bunch of losers who can't let go of the past and have invested way too much value into a forum long past it's prime, enough to tolerate being bitchwhipped by totalitarian liberal mods for the privilege of lurking there.

Stop right there. Nobody likes people who kick up a fuss about random subjects just to be angry, but to pile everybody you dislike onto a single category (in this case SJW) and generalizing the faults of some members of the group you defined to being applicable to the whole group simply turns the whole thing into an 'us vs. them' issue, which makes any sort of reasonable thought or communication impossible. This is exactly what happens when some overzealous internet feminists dismiss any arguments by men by default (because it's said by THE ENEMY). Be the better man, understand that each 'SJW' is an individual with their own viewpoints, and never forget that no malice involved and they simply think they are right as much as you think you are right.

When you attribute all evil to "them" (however you call people who disagree with you), you lose the capability to reason with the sources of the problem and become unable to actually change anything about it.

I actually asked some goon on YT about it. And what they said it was because 'even 4chan is less disgusting than reddit because they removed their cp earlier.' or something along those lines. Apparantly there was a jailbait board on reddit or something? But I thought the boards on that site were user made unlike other sites (like here, for example.) so wouldn't that be an issue with specific individuals rather than an entire community? Isn't judging an entire group for the actions of few the opposite of what SJW are supposed to do?

>The term "SJW" isn't supposed to be an absolute definition of every single person that it might apply to, it's just a general term used to label those that possess certain characteristics/behaviours/views.
This is correct and I agree.

>There's nothing wrong with using it, nor is there anything wrong with judging people you don't know so long as you hold enough common sense to do so appropriately.
The problem here is that it wasn't done appropriately. The poster ascribed negative traits of some members of the group to all members of the group. Not all SJWs have those negative traits, some of them have them, and people who have one negative trait do not necessarily also have the other negative traits. Everybody is unreasonable about some things, but nobody is unreasonable about everything.

Don't let /pol/ fool you, Reddit isn't any more "liberal" than 4chan, it's just a huge general-purpose forum. It may facilitate circlejerks, but they don't discriminate among what circlejerks they allow.

Meanwhile, SA population is a rather specific breed of xenophobic self-hating wannabe-normalfags. All they do, including their recent adoption of SJW agenda, is to overcompensate for their own shit lives, fetishes they hide and interests they try to pretend aren't niche and nerdy (or also hide).

No. No, he wasn't. I'll repost something I posted elsewhere about the issue.

(Context: http://blog.pennlive.com/patriotnews/2007/07/exbabysitter_sentenced_to_pris.html))

>Okay, so let me get this straight:
>
>-In the late 1990s, this guy, who back then was either as young as 14 years old or as old as 17 years old, allegedly molested a girl as young 8-10 years old. (Allegedly because you just can't prove this kind of stuff years down the line and it's just their word against yours.)
>
>-7 to 10 years later, she sues him for having molested her all the way back then. She gets a lot of money from him and he gets one to two years in prison.
>
>-In 2013, which is at the very least 13 years after the crime (basically half of his life has passed since then), after he's already suffered his proper legal punishment, people harass him for a crime he allegedly committed as a teen even though he has done nothing criminal since.

and

>It was alleged molestation (not even rape, just molestation; not even temporary DNA evidence was left) from at least 7 years ago. There is no evidence of the crime ever happening except for her witness testimony. Regardless of what happened and how much it should be punished, it's a crime you cannot prove. If it happened a month ago, there could still be some discussion about what happened based on both people's testimonies and those around them, but nobody remembers exactly what happened 7 years ago, and memories are easily shaped by being told what happened back then ('yeah, she was totally acting weird back then, she must really have been molested!').
>
>I agree rape is terrible, but it's no reason to screw up the justice system for. There needs to be solid evidence before someone can be convicted for a crime, and a case like this couldn't possibly have that. Yet, he had to plead guilty because he did not expect to be acquitted. Sex crime cases are too often 'guilty until proven innocent'.

They're comfortable with being "nerds" at this point I think since the mainstream "nerd community" more or less is an echo chamber reflecting their viewpoints. For all their talk of pluralism, ask yourself how many editorials in the "mainstream gaming press" you've seen criticizing Anita Sarkeesian or the wider politicization of game narratives. I can't think of a single one, in fact, they all seem to speak with one voice.

Many years ago I made a "joke" copypasta purporting to be a guy who enjoyed anime but was embarassed by guys who enjoyed things like harem anime. Back then, people on /a/ trashed it, but I've noticed as it has been reposted over the years, more and more people have sympathized with the initial point I was trying to make which was satirizing normals obsessed with making nerdy stuff more acceptable to the mainstream.

Here's his article, by the way.
And here's some excerpts:

>You have to have a purpose; people aren’t idiots, and if you’re just grabbing cash you’ll be found out. A message you want to say, something you want to accomplish- there has to be something, and that something led us here.

Yes, you heard that right, a "purpose".

>Around the time we were considering contacting EGS, a game came out. To avoid offending anyone, I’m not going to refer to it by name; we’ll call it The Game. I’d had the chance to play The Game in Japanese, and I felt it was probably one of the best games released. It was clever, fun, and had a real message to tell; through insidious satire it mercilessly pointed out and called out the worst of Japan’s nerd culture, all while containing incredibly human, incredibly touching stories.

He's talking about Ar Tonelico 2 here, in case you couldn't tell.

>The Game was released in America shortly before all of this began. It wasn’t given anything close to the treatment it deserved. Its localization was flat, the characters lost much of their point, and what was insidious, yet almost indignant satire was played straight, giving a lot of people the wrong image. The Game does not have a good reputation over here, and frankly, the American version probably deserves it. Some people saw through to what it really was, but I can’t blame anyone who didn’t.

And by "some people" he means his fellow shit-eating goons.

As long as I’m doing this job, that’s what matters to me. That’s what I took from Recettear’s success; a message saying, ‘Do your best to get these over here with the translation they deserve.’

I only remember Persona 3 and Disgaea being so huge they started to get mocked by mspaint comics.

/v/ still loves their disgaeas, I actually did a bit searching their archive when D2 came out and being pleasantly surprised.

And considering the Vita really needs all the help it can get in the west, it's pretty likely they'll localize it themselves, if you're talking about 2 anyway.

SpaceDrake is a typical retard working on otaku related material while being COMPLETELY foreign to Japanese and otaku culture and completely missing the point on everything.
Like that one faggot writting for shitaku.
Except these two shitstains come from SA, the worst imaginable shithole to discuss Japanese media due to the extreme normalfaggotry and SJW scum.
The fact these mediocre retards are working on Trails is both, sad and hilarious.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 3 12:25:26 2014 No.11771847 >>11771786 Just like, what, 90% of the fansubs and translators out there? I'd like to say "hey, at least the guy is doing the job". But if it's gonna be a shitty job, then I'd rather he left the material untouched.

Kiki is like 13-14 isn't she? But then so are the girls from Sailor Moon, that girl from Gurren Lagann, and the girls from Evangelion. It's weird to think most of those girls are barely 2 years older than the Strawberry Marshmallow girls. Even the difference between Mami and Madoka is amazing. The loli borderline is a strange thing to think about. It could have pedos and norms jacking off to girls of the same age.
