Noted male paedophile princess bubblegum is extra upset with the non-anti Kojima posters

It's frustrating 
Kojima is a pervert but at least he's not super creepy about it unlike cyborg, melody and bubblegum

All of them perverts. But Kojima is actually successful and well liked unlike those 3 failures.

I don't see Kojima as a 'pervert' but more like a guy that celebrates the beauty of women and the human body in an artistic sense. Focusing on themes like motherly figures, seduction and emotion.

It's why he gets all these celebrities to work for him and they all speak highly of him and want to work on his projects.

Merry Christmas, folks. I'm back. Hope everyone had a much better December than I did. Thankfully, my kitty is still kicking after a really bad health scare, and we now have a new member of the family, so while the middle of the month was extremely rough, the last week has been on an upswing.

He’s baaaaack

User banned (1 month): Dismissing concerns of misogyny

Metal Gear Solid V was 9 years ago. Metal Gear Solid 4 was 16 years ago. Policenauts was 30 years ago. Snatcher was 36 years ago.

Nobody is arguing that any of these elements were good. But I also don't get why we're relitigating stuff from games the majority of ResetERA wasn't alive for as if no one has ever criticized them in the past 30 years, or as if groping women is still a feature in Kojima's latest games. They're a shitty element within a complex legacy from a flawed creator.

It's like asking why no one's holding Stephen King accountable for the child orgy in IT, or the WILD shit that Akira Toriyama put out during his one-shots or even Dragonball. I promise, you're not the first to point it out. People just moved on. What else can people do beyond acknowledge the history and make a judgement of quality from there?

It really is amazing how they're still talking about Quiet after 9 years. The video they posted straight up ignores Death Stranding too. What is even the point if you ignore the latest game of the person you're criticizing.
The objective seems clear, they'll just whine about Snatcher and Quiet for all of eternity.

Shame of everything they could pick from the show they choose one of the body shaming jokes. Where Jake makes fun of a deceased victim for being overweight.

It's really weird to browse through some of the old hangouts threads on Era that I used to frequent and see old members who you remember as men with families now have name changes and she/her in their pronouns. Like, WTF? Don't tell me this shit is not social contagion.

[kaleidoscopium]

My opinion is that Pixar treated their workers like shit and forced them to make the movie "less gay", so, however good the movie is (haven't watched it yet), Pixar was rewarded for those terrible practices and it will always have those really big asterisks next to it.

What’s the asterisk for? It was “less gay” and the film was better for it, seems like a smart editing choice.

[Uncle]

no you see we don't live in the universe where the more gay version was released and was an even bigger box office success solely for its gayness

as long as we don't know for sure, we can pretend that would've happened

Ugh, got dragged out of bed by my bigot family even though I had been up all night reading lesbian fiction. Then nobody got me the one thing on my list: ending capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy. Didn't even bother to offer a name change and living wage either, just all kinds of boring clothes and books and whatever. Now they want to eat a mid-day "dinner" with a decided lack of queer friendly food or any organizing for real material change, so later I'm going to be hungry. Again. Please donate so I can eat after I wake back up. I'm so tired and so hungry on Christmas of all days. And now fascist YouTube doesn't have the basic human decency to find me the clip from Law and Order where the fired DA asks "is this because I'm a lesbian?" The cruelty is the point.

At what point do we start grouping Echoes into the Two Hearts tag? Getting close. 

There is a reason why she was talking with TwoHearts as “no biggie that you want to hurt children”. 

We may hate it but Kyuuji is probably the most mentally stable member of TransEra.

Lol. Great thread backfire. Everyone's like that's it?! You staring at kitchen knives because your mom got you a kitchen mixer and papa had family visiting?

Meanwhile...

Yeah, when my mother used to beat the shit out of me or laugh when her husband beat the shit out of me.

[killamajig]

So, I've been crying a lot yesterday and just now again. I don't want to go into much detail, but with how Christmas eve yesterday and now today went, it's just clear to me that my parents don't really care about me anymore. Mind you, I'm a 40 yo grown man, I shouldn't care about that, right? And it's not like my relationship with my parents has been great, it hasn't since I was circa 16. But these past two days just have been especially ... clear. They keep up a certain facade, but that's as far as that goes. I know I shouldn't care about it at my age, but my mom got me my own mixer for baking stuff. She knows I have a severe eating disorder, so I absolutely shouldn't bake often. I bake once a year when I bake gingerbread as presents for all my relatives. That one time I ask my mom to lend me her mixer. So either she thinks me, someone with an eating disorder, should bake more often, or she thinks me borrowing her mixer once a year is so grating to her that she got me my own mixer as a "leave me alone ffs". As someone in a dire financial and health situation, instead of gifting me those 30 Euro, she got me my own mixer. And that'S on top of my dad deciding to shit on a lifetime of tradition and change christmas eve yesterday, just to accomodate some guests that haven't been here in 10 years and won't be another. It probably sound really mundane as I write it here, but I'm just completely drained. But I mustn't say anything about it or else I'm gonna be the "bad" guy again. When I went upstairs earlier, I sat in the kitchen, staring at my kitchen knifes for 5 minutes, but ofc I couldn't muster the courage to do it. To dumb to live, to weak to die. And don't worry with the "here's a hotline", I've been thinking about this stuff for the past two decades. I won't ever do it. Live alone, die alone. Some day in a totally unspectacular way.

Anyway, have any of your experienced moments where you know your parents don't really give a shit about you anymore? How did you take it? How did you go on? Thanks for anyone sharing their story.

Anyway, merry christmas, nevertheless.

What's funny is that all Disney did was to remove any ambiguity about the characters sexuality, something RE themselves would call "queer baiting". So they actually got their wish that there wouldn't be any gay subtext unless it's explicit and now they're mad.

May your parents be assholes but that shit you just say is kind of laughable.

“My mother bought me a mixer because she knows I do this special shit once a year. Pure evil.”

She at least tried, my dude, and you are a grown ass person to be this sensitive about presents.

[Boredfrom]

Personally the mixer story to me just sounds like she thinks you like baked goods and you must not own a mixer if you ask to borrow hers, so that means she knows if she bought you one she wouldn't be getting you something you already had. Of course idk your relationship or you or your mother so im sure its deeper than that.

Related to your post though, the other day I realized my dad has never visited me since I've moved out despite being invited to two different apartments now multiple times over the years. He also almost never uses gifts I give him, sometimes doesn't even open them. I don't think he doesn't love me but I also don't think he thinks of me as much more than an objective to make sure I became self sufficient in life when I grew up very often.

Mind you, in the current climate… that is an awesome parent.

Think he's saying this will be the third time he has failed to get his daughter something for xmas. So he's some sort of typical resetera hard luck case

Okay OP I apologize for not having read your post before saying anything but ngl man

Growing up in an orphanage

Reading your post

I can't help but feel a little… rough, that this is the thing that's got you going

I hope you feel better, truly, and I know that stuff hits folks differently, but eugh

I know that a lot of people have/had it worse. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm making light of your own experience. Don't want that.

I've been a shutin for many years now, without irl friends, unemployed due to health reasons (both physical and mental), and the relationship with me and my parents has only been getting worse, since they always had a "money is everything" mindset, whereas I, even before I got into my situation, never cared about money at all. Not because I was rich, but because I never liked the idea of letting money dictate my happiness. So since I've been unemployed for most my life, nothing I ever did was of value to my parents. "Does it make money?" - "No" - "Kthxbye". Like that. My father has always been very conservative, old-fashioned and, well, I'm from a generation where it was still normal for parents to beat their children. With all that, the relationship between me and my parents has only been getting worse. And now this year, this conservative father who usually cares so much about tradition, threw everything that makes Christmas eve away to hold a shitty party for far-relatives who haven't been here in 10 years. Despite our bad relationship, Christmas eve has literally been the one tradition that has been the same my whole life. Seeing it be thrown in the garbage without care just kinda broke me. There were a couple other things that happened yesterday that added to my feelings. And now today this stupid mixer that, yeah, my mom probably really believes is a good present. Because she never thinks ahead how something could be perceived by someone. I could barely prevent her from forcing me to write "Merry Christmas" in Japanese on a signpost, which she thought would have been a good idea because one of the guest's wife is of Japanese origin. But she's been in Germany for countless years and I'm sure the last thing this woman would have wanted is to be othered by some totally out-of-place signpost.

I'm sure in reality I'm overracting with this thread, but I just feel so hopeless yesterday and today, I have slept long enough and still feel drained, like my battery is empty. Feels like Christmas died this year. Everything and everyone dies and it doesn't matter to anyone. I can't wait to go back to therapy in the coming year, I'm already on a waiting list. Anyway, this probably still doesn't sound so bad to you, but maybe it explains a little something.

I walked into my father's office two years ago and he was jerking off to gay porn. He had always been there for me when I needed help but apparently this was out of some sense of obligation because just the act of this happening made him hate me. We haven't talked since. He won't contact me. He defriended me on social media. Blocked me actually. I wonder if he thinks I'll tell my religious step mom. I wouldn't. But it's too late now. I'll never be friends with him again. I look forward to the phone call from one of my brother's someday telling me that he has passed. Fuck him.

Nice fight, A noticeable lack of comments here though considering it's for the Heavyweight title.

No worries though the upcoming Conor McGregor vs Logan Paul fight will do some serious comment numbers

Only way to watch that fight was to pay for it or go to a bar and drink. 

Drink less and get your daughter a present you scumbag.
