The Pulseman article is actually okay. Must've been before that shit started.

>Beatrice
>A pure C-Life teen girl that was member the Galaxy Gang - whether of her own volition or not - until Pulseman came into her life. She left the gang to assist our hero at the cost of losing access to EUREKA. Though she's stuck in the virtual world, she helps out through Pulseman's communicator with relaying info on the next stage and warning of an incoming boss. She is very concerned about Pulseman and might be something of a girlfriend to him.

If it was written nowadays:

>Beatrice
>A pure C-Life young adult female that was once a member the Galaxy Gang - obviously having been forcibly recruited to be exploited for nefarious, male purposes - until she met Pulseman and came to the strong, independent conclusion to escape. She left the gang to greatly benefit the male protagonist, who would obviously be lost be without amazing assistance, at the cost of losing access to EUREKA. Though she's cannot leave virtual world due to the sinister machinations of the evil male Galaxy Gang, she entirely makes it possible for Pulseman's to succeed by relaying info on the next stage and warning of an incoming boss. She is very angelically concerned about Pulseman through the amazing generosity of her heart. Is is implied she may be his girlfriend, in a classic case of Japan's msygonistic ideal of a helpless female always requiring a male's help. It is truly unfortunate she is not the playable main character, as she so rightly deserves to be.

A strange thing to do, considering how much the game denounces the kind of objectification that fan service like this entails. It's not even like these scenes serve any greater narrative purpose. They exist only to let the player see their favorite characters naked.

I don't like that, but I can tolerate it. I can accept that stuff, I mean what with feminism basically being a marketing tool these days morons will buy into that shit and overcompensate to feel like their helping the cause, especially when it comes to something like video-games or STEM where females were never involved because they didn't give a shit about either until they became lucrative.

What is driving me away from the site (yes I still read the site, not every article is garbage) is the ego-wankery of certain articles (pic related_. Read the Megaman article or the Mother/Earthbound articles and tell me those aren't written by total fanboys that downplay any criticism towards the games. Especially egregious was that recent article about some game where you're a teenager girl with a sword that fights demons or something. It was obviously just a very difficult game, so the author prattles on about how it has an atmosphere of fear and fragility of life or some shit. Oh and the environments were like, basic non-city scapes so obviously it gave an aura of feeling alien in a new world or some bullshit. How about you fucking focus on the game faggot?

Recently there was an indie game that HG101 reviewed, Read Only Memories, which is a homeless man's version of Snathcer. I totally lost interest with the game at the middle of it because the plot got totally uninteresting and direction-less and the puzzles/difficulty are for children. Also the game plasters you with forced diversity and non-binary sexuality, even though every review tells you that it doesn't forces you that down your throat (it does, that tells you how deep in the far end these people are). Well, the HG101 guy reviewing the game found NO FAULT whatsoever in this game, not a single complain, not even the pickiest one, even though it's very clear that the game has its fair share of faults. But because the game is very SJW-ist and it's indie, no fault is to be found, perfect game, 11/10. And they pretend to be serious reviewers, gimme a break.

Wouldn't be surprised if the reviewer personally knows the developers.

Oh yeah I think I remember that one. I remember reading that line about basic new-age tumblr faggotry and how it wasn't a big aspect of the game, then looking to the screenshot on the right and seeing that was obviously bullshit.

I'll give them credit for having the protestor making a valid point, though I'm inclined to believe he probably starts straw-manning two seconds later (the quote being cherrypicked for the article to downplay the faggotry).

I'm always prepared to wade through this shit when it comes to an article for an indie game. Also have you noticed how all the really faggy games with this bullshit are always more text-based than gameplay? Read Only Memory, Digital/Analog, Depression Quest.

FINAL FANTASY VI 1994
Developer: Square
Genre: rpg
player character female
mature themes
depression

Final Fantasy VI was Square's sixth entry into the final fantasy series, and the final on SNES. It begins heroically with you controlling a female by the name of Terra, a strong independent women, as she attacks a peaceful mountain town sing a robotic suit of armour, searching for an Esper, a powerful magic being from times long ago. This sequence while allowing you to control Terra is also quite confronting as you are eventually defeated by the Esper in a frightening display of female powerlessness. You come to realise that Terra herself is a powerful Esper destined to cleanse the world of the evil male emperor and his insane male jester Kefka. Along the way you meet and make friends with other characters, including a prince, a machismo driven fighter, a ninja, a samurai who follows outdated Confucian codes, a wild boy, a gambler and probably most importantly, the female General Celes, who also realises the error of her evil ways and joins the party to stop the emperor. There's a bit of a twist in the middle so only continue reading if you don't really care.

Halfway through the game the evil male emperor successfully raises a floating continent and sends the world into chaos. This changes the entire map and splits the party up. When the player is given control again, they now only control Celes, who was injured in the destruction and is now being taken care of by a sad old man on the edge of island. Warning ahead, only read if you don't mind dark themes. Unfortunately the old man dies and Celes attempts suicide in a disturbing display of Japan's male-centric ideal of society. Luckily she survives. Yadda yadda team beats bad guy the end.

There we go, female spotlight, mental health focus, no discussion of actual gameplay.

Gimmick! 1992
Developer: Sunsoft
Genre: platformer
Tags: gender indeterminate
female kidnapping
extreme difficulty

Gimmick! was a late entry into the library of the NES by Sunsoft. It tells the story of a toy given to a young girl on her birthday. Fearing they will lose the important love of their owner, her other toys kidnap her, in a unique twist on the classic msygonistic game plot. The brave hero, known only as Gimmick, decided to follow them and save his (or more likely her) new owner.

Yadda yadda can't bitch about this one much because they can only really complain about plot, not gameplay.

Here's my take on Splatterhouse:

>>Many at the time of the game's 1988 release criticized the then-extreme (now laughable) violence in the game; however, in true 1980's regressive, phallocentric nature such critics failed to discuss the true problematic nature of the game, that of violence against WOMEN.
[snip two pages discussing the female "Joka" ghosts and how they are marginalized, naked asses and breasts in the piles of corpses signifying objectification of female body, etc.]

However, most troubling is a scene near the end of the game, the player character Rick finds the "captured" Jennifer consorting with Dr. West's creatures - how he came to the conclusion that she was kidnapped or in danger in the first place is preposterous, she is a free-thinking woman and has the right to do with body what she chooses. After pretending to express gratitude to belay Rick's anger, Jennifer undergoes a miraculous transformation into an empowered being of great beauty and intelligence, dwarfing the impotent beast Rick's own supposed "powers" supposedly bestowed upon him by the mask (a mask giving a male power and authority is preposterous, and in and of itself a classic delusional male power fantasy used to disguise an underlying question of one's inherent lack of worth upon being born a male).

(fuck, I messed up the greentext) Rant continued
>In an unsurprising move, rather than expressing joy and congratulating Jennifer for surpassing him in strength and worth (which she had already done at birth, since she was not born with a penis and tainted by its evil), the pathetic, likely goobergrape member Rick lashes out in impotent male anger like all rapists, in a futile attempt to retain their feelings of worth and superiority. At this point, it would be obvious to anyone that the correct move was to allow Rick to be righteously struck down by Jennifer; however, in a shocking move (although not shocking considering the misogyny that is characteristic of the Japanese race) you the player realize that the developers made the questionable decision for the player to actually fight and kill Jennifer to proceed. Had this actually been intended as a commentary on how male inadequacy and inferiority is the origin of violence against women, this choice may have had some artistic merit. Instead, it is a classic example of how men should not be allowed to develop or otherwise work on video games - it is contrary to men's nature, since creation itself is contrary to their nature. Destruction is a man's nature - unfortunately, that destruction is not turned enough on men themselves, but on the planet, and upon the true creators and life-givers. At this point I am going to renounce my cursed status as a man, and kill myself. I apologize for my existence, and for being born as a man; I only hope that I was able to help as a true male ally by being an example for more male allies to kill themselves, or hopefully kill other males before killing themselves.

Another gem from Kurt:
>[Renegade] might have invented a whole new genre, but it's really not very good. It runs at half the frame rate of a normal arcade game, the animation is choppy, and controls are sluggish. It uses the same control scheme that was later adopted in Double Dragon II - one button attacks to the left side, the other to the right. When attacking in the direction you're facing, Kunio begins a volley of punches, but if he attack in the opposite direction, he executes a backwards kick. There's a third button to jump, and Kunio can run by double tapping the joystick. Enemies are stunned when hit, but usually only for a split second, and more often than not they'll simply counterattack, leaving you to exchange blows until one of you goes down. Since you always have to deal with numerous foes at once, trying to single out enemies is really the only way to win. Enemies can grab Kunio from behind, although he can still kick anybody else that comes near, and it's possible to wiggle free with the joystick. The AI is almost too good at dodging punches, as they'll back off as soon as you begin attacking, but they're also relentless when swarming in numbers. Some enemies have weapons too, which can be picked up when they drop them. It's a remarkably difficult game, especially since you only have a single life, no ability to continue and no health restoratives.
Not only is he bitching about one of the easiest beat-'em-ups ever made, but he can't even get his facts straight (you can't wield weapons in Renegade for one thing and breaking free from an enemy's back hold is done with the jump button, not the joystick).

To be fair, SJWs would never deny that they're disproportionately mentally ill. The only difference is they'd claim it's from outside forces impacting their lives, which may or may not be true.

The only thing SJWs and non-SJWs differ in opinion about is whether it was the chicken or the egg. There's a surprising amount people near-unanimously agree on.

It's so sad when a thing you love turns to shit. I remember when it was still on the geocities servers and it was basically a compendium of old games and shit that was rare or never released in the west and the site had a vague editorial lean towards a hardcore otaku interest in videogames. Now if they discuss otaku oriented content it's not without jeers born from the mid 2010s sjw zeitgeist. At least they took it for what it was before and mediocre games while not usually totally panned (except for the old kusoge section) were called out for being mediocre even if there were other good reasons to enjoy the game.

Weird because I'm (and I'm guessing most people here) around that age and I'm actually downright sick of that shit.

Video games are just fun escapism and they wanna push lberal-arts school hipster political agenda on retro games that were meant to entertain mostly children and teens during their time in the market.

Like this shit is gonna get them on "le right side of history" but in reality, politics aside, they don't realize how lazy and ridiculous they look by making snarky pseudo-intellectual commentary on an old wacky Japanese-made arcade side-scroller.

The thing is that they know their political core is absolutely ridiculous. There is no patriarchy in places where videogames are produced. It's obvious. Whenever somebody tells you it's a systematic issue, ask them by what system and they'll tell you "all of them". That's where you know people don't know anything they're talking about.

So, the other logical step is to go for the social part. And well, that's what they're doing.

There's a bunch of factors, but in HG101's case there's the whole east-coast mentality (most of the core, original group are from New Jersey but work in New York). Lots of the writers are current or former liberal arts majors, so there's that too.

Thankfully most people don't seem to give a shit one way or the other, or they've got opinions but they're considerate enough to not try and shove them down your throat. I'm just guessing that most of the bullshit on HG101 and other places stems from frustration and feelings of inadequacy.

While I agree with a lot of what you say, I think you have to be careful not to fall into the same mindset on the opposite end of the spectrum. So many times talking about a game and something happens that is I feel is unnecessarily violent or weirdly sexual (like in a way that obviously appeals to only a repressed male, like in a power fantasy way) and if I so much a mention I felt it was off putting people on this board will instantly attack you for it.

Look, I'm by going to complain about violence on Doom or Mortal Combat, I'm talking about shit like Loli guro animations and shit that you occasionally see, or shit like that flash game where all you do it torture a ragdoll. Shit like that just seems really, really dangerous, and yet if you so much as criticise it you'll get destroyed. Not that these should be banned ir destroyed or anything, just that I hope most people can view this shit and at least be a little weirded out if it turns them on sexually or something.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm come here for a bit of sanity, people to say both ends of the spectrum can be fucked up, and more often than not I get the same rhetoric, just for the opposite side.

They aren't obligated to feel anything and if they do feel nothing or they get pleasure out of it, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Sometimes a car crash on Youtube is just a car crash on Youtube. People are bothered by the idea that just because someone, somewhere is bothered by something that others "should" also therefore, by necessity, feel the same way about it. It's weird and controlling and amounts to nothing. Looking at something just is not the same as personally enacting it in person, even if that thing you're looking at is a torture scene in a movie or something. People rarely have a problem with someone merely disliking something (except on /vr/), but it's almost never just disliking something. It usually comes attached with a moral message or some form of pressure about how people should be, like that very statement you just made.

There are definitely ways in which people can push too far to the other side, but this is not one of them for the most part. People would be just as critical of people who tried to force non-PC stuff into places that obviously don't work and have nothing to do with it.

Shit like that can affect a person, even subliminally, and shape their attitudes about stuff, so we just have to careful. I mean, if you read a bunch of stories about how certain ethnic groups are dangerous, are you going to say "well it's not real", or might you be slightly more aware of them when you like, walking down a night street an see one? Same way, you are ultra violence and you'll become ever so slightly desensitised to it, and things can sort of spiral to a point where you videos of real people dying might not affect you as much as they should, and then it creeps out other people.

It might seem like that, but as a general rule, the more people are exposed to sex and violence, the less they do bad things related to that in person. Rates have been, and will continue to drop despite drastically increased exposure from the internet.

>I mean, if you read a bunch of stories about how certain ethnic groups are dangerous, are you going to say "well it's not real"
Well, it is real in that case because it's an account of real life events that really happened. Whether it's statistically accurate, why it happened, and so on are really separate topics, but they ARE real. The presumption is therefore that they predict future reality as well.

>you'll become ever so slightly desensitised to it, and things can sort of spiral to a point where you videos of real people dying might not affect you as much as they should, and then it creeps out other people.
This is really a social issue that has nothing to do with either of these things. One could just as easily argue people shouldn't be as critical of others merely watching videos or engaging in entertainment. It's unreasonable to assume that someone is always "correct" just because they're uncomfortable.

>I mean both had happened to me, and I don't think I'm unique or anything.
Your experiences aren't really the norm. If anything, people tend to think the world is a lot worse than it actually is, in part because of how easily accessible information is. The fact of the matter is, if you were to live in a cave you'd almost certainly never know about ISIS or Ebola because there's effectively a 0% chance of them ever impacting your life in any way. In a way, people panic harder if they think something bad might be happening because of this fear.

Kurt's a pretty chill guy to work with, though sometimes he takes awhile to correspond.

I once called him out on his hatred of DMC and he never replied, desu I still don't get that.

I can understand the "not liking DMC" part, but where does the "Kamiya is a shitlord" thing comes from? I mean, yeah Bayonetta is sexualized and all, but it comes off as being more silly than offensive. It's not any more offensive than anything in Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive.

Fucking hg101. I can't believe how poor the writing is on that site. It's infuriating because they cover a lot of genuinely great games that i really want to read about. But you can't read any of their articles because they're FILLED with grammar errors. They also don't fact check, regularly parroting off schoolyard style anecdotes as fact without doing any fucking research. Some of their writers are ok but one guy in particular, i think it's Kurt, is just awful.
It's obvious they cheat their way through games in 5 mins and then bang out an article in an evening without proofing it, they don't even bother fixing the aspect ratio of their emulator screenshots.

Or they're shaming and harassing people for not having the same values as they do. Being accommodating is one thing, but trying force that on people who don't agree with it without trying to dialogue, or otherwise being an extremist asswipe is one of the big differences between an "SJW" and someone who actually wants to better society.

Sometimes you have to be aggressive. You couldn't have racial equality in a nation like say American if half the country wante to lynch black people for looking a at white women. They have to fight a fucking war over it. And we both know for every SJW there's some dickhead who sees a thumbnail of a video with a bitch in a skimpy top (also a problem) and immediately clicks, likes, subscribed and comments "You're beautiful m'lady" because they're fucking morons who think that's an acceptable way to treat people. If SJWs were more critical of BOTH parties (the dude who treats women as commodities, and the women who is more than willing to use e gender to her advantage) rather than attack a bunch of game developers who made a game and thought "let's add some fanservice" and gamers who see that and say "well I might not agree with this but it's out of my control at this point", things would be better. Problem is to stop one (exploitive men/women) you've got to stop the other, and we both fucking know their not going to ever criticise a women.

Former freelancer back again. They just posted another one of my articles. Except there are a lot of typos that weren't there when i wrote them and they gimped the last paragraph. I'll just post the original final paragraph here I guess:

"Demon Front definitely copies Metal Slug in a lot of ways. However, it copies a lot of the good aspects of the game, such as graphics with a great attention to detail and bosses that are a blast to battle. It also brings a lot of its own material to the table, such as the gimmick with the pets. If there’s a legitimate problem with the game, it’s that the levels aren’t nearly as polished as Metal Slug’s levels with attention to enemy placement and quantity, and focuses more on swarming the player with waves of enemies. However, if one can find it at any import arcade, they should definitely give Demon Front a go."

which they turned into:

"Demon Front is shameless, but for a clone, it's actually pretty good. The pets are an interesting addition, and there are enough weird things about it that shows the developers were not only a fan of SNK's series, but added their own odd sensibilities to it to. [sic]"

I guess both have their own strengths and weaknesses, but I just wanted to show what its like having something posted.

Why does their sexuality matter though? Should people avoid putting gay people in their game because it might offend someone? It's the same thing as a SJW being offended by a character being straight. It doesn't really matter and has no place in a critique.

Because, like it or not, gay couples aren't normal (outside of California) and putting even one in is a conscious choice to be more "inclusive". I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I think Undertale's are forced just for the sake of putting gay characters in a video game, something Toby Fox is on record as saying he wanted to do.

>Tons of games purposefully leave the main character blank, especially RPGs

Neither are talking skeletons. 99% of the game isn't normal.

>No they don't you goofball. Pretty much every RPG, even those with silent main characters, gives a gender to the protagonist.

I'm not talking about JUST gender. I'm talking about personality, voice, backstory, everything. I don't understand how making things about the protagonist ambiguous (again, something many games do) has anything to do with SJWs. Frisk doesn't have any kind of personality or backstory other than "kid that falls down a hole". He doesn't have a race or a gender anything. EVERYTHING about Frisk is ambiguous on purpose, including gender. It's like you single out one aspect of him that's ambiguous and ignore the fact that everything about Frisk is ambiguous.

It seems like so many people are so obsessed with SJWs that they become paranoid and start labeling things as "tumblr" or whatever. Just like how SJWs became paranoid and started labeling things as "sexist" or whatever. They're just games. People need to chill out and just try to enjoy things.

Either way, I'd hardly say it's forced since Undyne and Alphys are legitimate characters with actual roles in the story, and outside of Mettaton humiliating Alphys by revealing the extent of her crush and their date, it is never shoved in your face by a faceless throwaway. It's not like that tranny in that overpriced mod for Baldur's Gate which got several transpeople pissed off because she was a walking tumblr post.

Dude, Toby Fox can do whatever the fuck he wants to in his games, and more power to him. I'm just tossing in my two cents.

>EVERYTHING about Frisk is ambiguous on purpose, including gender. It's like you single out one aspect of him that's ambiguous and ignore the fact that everything about Frisk is ambiguous.
Is that true? I mean, we can single out some things about Frisk. They have light skin and brown hair, they speak at certain points, they know how to use weaponry and equip armour, they most likely are American (one of the monster's description mentions the USDA). If Frisk was completely ambiguous, they'd just be a blank doll for the player to self-insert on, but a blank doll wouldn't make for an interesting protagonist, so Frisk has to be only kind of ambiguous. The degree to which this works as a character or not is up to opinion.

The difference between all those games and Undertale is that Undertale's gay characters were added purely for the sake of putting gay characters in a game.

All of those things are things that you cannot avoid when making an RPG. Obviously you can't avoid giving the character an appearance if you want to make them human.

The weapons and armor is shit like toy guns and cowboy hats. The closest thing the game gets to an actual weapon is a knife.

I read the blog you're talking about, and all he said was that he put gay characters in his earthbound romhack because there weren't many gay characters in RPGs. Of course all of this was years ago, he even seems kind of ashamed the romhack according to comments on his twitter. The only thing you have to go on for gay characters being "forced" is a sentence on a blog that's most likely several years old.

The characters themselves are not out of place, fit within the story, and everything would be exactly the same if you changed it to be straight. There's nothing about it that makes it stands out from any other romance.

The guards are a joke about frat boys. Pic related.

> I mean, if you see two big hulking guards looking to fight, how is it relevant for them to confess their love for each other on the battlefield?

There's a pair of straight guards that are a couple earlier in the game who express their love to each other, but it seems like you don't have a problem with them either, despite doing the same exact thing the gay guards are doing, except they're straight.

Dogamy and Dogaressa are actually already married, and they're set up earlier in the game - you can find their house before you meet them, and there's the sign that says "DOG MARRIAGE" shortly before their fight. I actually think it would be really funny if the same joke had been done for the guards.

>The characters themselves are not out of place, fit within the story, and everything would be exactly the same if you changed it to be straight. There's nothing about it that makes it stands out from any other romance.
If the guards were a straight couple, I'd have the exact same complaints about it being forced. Regardless of what gender the characters are, the scene is an awkwardly placed setpiece that has nothing to do with the rest of the game (the guards aren't even mentioned outside of a throwaway line if you befriend Undyne) and I'd bet you that they only reason it's in the game at all is because it's about a gay couple. Now, as you've said, this is all speculation, and to Fox's credit I don't believe he's made any statement on anything to do with the relationships in the game.

There are a lot of moments like that. The game is full of strange, one-off jokes.

And the guards really aren't that out of place anyway, they're part of the royal guard that's looking for you. The royal guard is even mentioned earlier in the game, so characters talking about the royal guard and then royal guards showing up isn't really that weird.

The thing is that we never see the rest of the Royal Guard besides them and Undyne, so it's kind of weird that they're the only ones that show up, even moreso that they don't really seem that aggressive towards Frisk (not more than any other monster, anyway).

I just think this is part of a bigger problem. I think the game is a little too short and doesn't show enough of the underground, probably because a mostly one-man team can't make that much content without constantly delaying the game for years.

Capecomics have been shit for a while though. When you're forced to keep decades-old characters relevant, you're not allowed for any real conflict resolution or proper character development, so companies eventually start relying on "controversial" plot lines and naive-minded social commentary to drive sales once they run out of story ideas.

Technically speaking, said moral obligation was forced onto him by comic publishers trying to use the character without falling afoul of the knee-jerk censorship of the 50s regarding comic book sex and violence that pretty much went uncontested until the mid-80s.

When you've built 30 years of no-kill policies on your superheroes it tends to become a major focal point of their characterization. It'd be absolutely weird for Batman to just kill the Joker now, and anyone who says he should doesn't understand either character very well. For proof of concept, go see Man of Steel, a movie that seemingly willingly ignores major moral dilemmas Superman faces in favour of supposedly practical solutions.

>This puts Mamono Hunter Yohko in an ambiguous relationship with the action genre. While it uses the kinds of structures that avid players would be familiar with (reflex-based gameplay and increasingly challenging scenarios), the game abandons the pursuit of power that characterizes similar games. If anything, their only purpose is to undermine it. Yohko’s clumsy swordsmanship, for example, stifles any feeling of accomplishment one might get from fending off the various monsters that populate the levels. And the levels themselves are barely more forgiving. Few of the branches and ledges can support Yohko's frame, and the serpentine paths often force you to retread the same ground to advance through the stage. Even if they don't outright deny any feeling of accomplishment, the levels still expend a lot of energy delaying it.

This game has a circle barrier you generate around yourself by holding down a button. If you press a direction and let go, you throw it like a boomerang for a ranged attack. Whilst it is in the air, it is not protecting you.

This is what hg101 had to say about that game mechanic.

>In fact, judging by the lack of ways to make Yohko more powerful (or even to effectively exercise what little power she has), it’s clear how interested the game is in vulnerability as an aesthetic. The shield demonstrates this well enough. While its defensive capabilities shouldn’t be neglected (its ability to protect Yohko from projectiles makes her hell that much more bearable), it’s the shield’s offensive qualities that make it so compelling.

>But looking at it a little more closely, we see the shield carrying the same betrayal that defines the levels. By presenting it as a ranged attack, the game effectively forces you into an ambivalent relationship with it. Your most effective form of offense only works by making you completely vulnerable to enemy attack, thus defeating its entire purpose. And because it’s your primary way of interacting with the world, playing Mamono Hunter Yohko becomes that much more unsettling. True, the shield returns to her a second or two later, and skilled players could theoretically use it to navigate this world with ease. But everyone else must make due with this imperfect reality. Their experiences will still be marked with a sinister dread.

I've never played this game before and all I can think of is "mad cause bad". He jumps back and forth several times throughout those paragraphs and even to someone uninvolved it looks dumb and inconsistent. It sounds like he's critiquing the essence of video games and challenge: making yourself vulnerable to loss in an attempt to win. Sounds like good design to me. It also applies to practically all games on some level.

The leader of the biker gang. Kaneda is a character with a toxic personality. His behavior is problematic in the sense that he bullies people and is sexist towards women. Despite this, he's proven he can say the name of his rival repeatedly without need of catching his breath.

Relevancy or lack thereof doesn't matter. Only illegal/against the rules posts should be deleted. This is neither. It is however, intentionally inflammatory towards repressed minority groups. Which is acceptable (see: the history of the term "nigger" and its usage on this board) but we both know individuals who might become offended will report it, in which case it will be deleted despite not breaking an laws/rules.

However in an attempt to prevent this restrictive community moderation from being discovered, it will probably be left as is, despite evidence in this thread (such as the deletion of posts >>3269140 and >>3969527 being deleted). Go ahead and criticise that tripfaggots who shits up this board, and watch as his hurt feelings is enough for mods to delete the post under the guise of "irrelevancy" despite there being worst posts, and it not breaking and laws/rules.

I feel like there isn't actually a way to put gays and transsexuals in video games without offending anyone. If it's made as a major aspect of the character, then people scream about forced social commentary. If it's just a throwaway reference then it's seen as lazy inclusion points. I don't get it. Both sides are fucking annoying in this.

It's been common knowledge among musicians that FM synths are hard to program. That's part of the reason you heard so many of the same DX7 presets in popular music the 80s: it's hard to make your own sounds from scratch on thatthing, so you just use what other people have made that sounds decent.

You don't need to it. I don't mean that in a exclusionary way. If a character is a transexual going through gender reassignment from male to female, then make them appear mannish. That's its. No need to have announce it. No need for their shirt to say "I'm a tranny!". Unless it's a plot point, but I doubt a game about being unable to use all bathrooms would be very fun.

It's like - Jeff from Earthbound is gay. I too said himself. Does Jeff do or say anything that implies he's gay? Nope. An that's fine, there's nothing wrong with being gay, and it doesn't change the gameplay at all. That's how you do it.

You know games made my liberal arts majors would be fine, except all the gays in them are pink-dyed hair having LOOK AT ME gays who when you talk do, will mention it immediately, as if you said "Hello" to a gay person in real life their response would be "Hello, I'm queer!!!"

Yeah but comeon, they're a minority right? The thing is nowadays we have people screaming "where at the women in STEM???" And then go out and make scholarships for women in STEM and write angry blog posts about how it isn't exclusive, meanwhile women get to college/university and go into Arts. They just don't want to do it, then they get crappy arts jobs and cry their not making as much money as fucking rocket engineers. I did Computer Science and I remember like 3-4 women in most of my classes. God I wish there was more women, but just heaps of fucking stereotypical weeaboos and nerdy dudes. And Asians. Shitloads of Asians.

To end on a positive note, I love music by Yoko Shinomura.

The best we have is /v/'s recommended games wiki. A list of games with descriptions that usually only pertain to gameplay, although occasionally the austistic tried to write a few review in the 1/8 the width of the page table cell. We should just start making pages for individual games, self moderate, and make a rule "Desrcriptions only pertain to the game, not context (unless it is an entirely contextual game), opinions or personal interpretations of content will be removed."

We'll probably end up having to lock articles like Rance and shit, but it could work, provided whoever made it doesn't get bought out.

Then this guy >>3267676 got jewed by Kurt despite his game being only slightly more interesting. ShTs the difference between the two games? Ones about a team of mercenaries, two of who are female and optional, and one is about a female sole protagonist demon Hunter. Hrmmm...
