I unironically don’t understand that guy’s joke. Does he not know that woman?

I don't know either of them, but I assume the joke is that shes a kotaku writer type and hes a TheQuartering type, so would never ever ever be romantically attracted to each other

At this point, there is no significant difference from Kiwifarms in how they wish for people's death. Thank God Death's Note is an impossibility.

so stellar blade confirmed as the smash hit game that resetera are too soft to be allowed to post about for 2024

remember when the claim from the wokies was that you were allowed to like "problematic" media just as long as you were aware of its issues or whatever

Resetera mods right now after they had been assured that the little kid persona was banned from posting

I'll be honest, I don't even think its that deeply motivated.

They're mad because they told people to listen to them and do as they're told, and people said no, fuck off.

Actually, I don't entirely disagree, my argument is that it's reflexive and the ease by which they so fervently are reflexive is cultural. You know they aren't like this anywhere else because anywhere else has people who will not accept it. ResetERA.com essentially mandates you accept it and many of the posters insist you participate.

The specifics and which cases come about are less relevant and totally interchangeable. How things are chosen as the mob's target is beyond my ability to discern and would require experts from other fields.

The ultimate irony is that if they were genuine leftists who actually based their views in such traditions as Marxism, critical theory, etc. they might recognize exactly what I'm getting at and where they need to self-critique but since we know they're on the right side of history they're perfect and the problems are always everyone else and their refusal to stop being wrong.

Elon's in on it now:

I think it's more likely that Twitter is pushing this game deliberately because it's a figurehead of the anti-feminist culture war.

Yes, this is obviously "most likely" and not that you're constantly looking at this shit to get angry about. It's because Elon is messing with the algorithm to push this game that few people even know exists because it will help his agenda to... shoot shit into space? I honestly have no idea.

Is this a Life cereal ad?

Head mates have replaced girlfriends.

[benji]

What's the hidden content in that thread? There's a bunch of it presumably being angry and violent about Mark Kern, this is the one unhidden post:

my only solace, is there all gonna die alone eventually. But yeah, these people legit scare me...like i look like most of the women they complain about! And I ain't gonna changed it! It makes me scared of dating & any interaction with men tbh. even I know the internet isn't the entire world...but I love gaming and I hate that it's getting harder & harder to talk about.

I don't post in this thread much, prefer to just check out the perspectives in here, but just wanna say recent events have made it abundantly clear why this little haven is so necessary. The contrast between in this thread and outside of it is staggering. Sorry for what you all have to put up with in this hobby, even in supposedly progressive spaces.

It really is becoming increasingly impossible to avoid this game, it's honestly so exhausting (not you guys). So much nonchalant sexism and a lot of hand wavy racism if I'm gonna be honest, from the chuds and even 'unwitting' fans parroting this stuff it's making me feel gross ugh.

and, like clockwork, we end up with folks saying things like "this is what games this generation have been missing. characters designed to be visually appealing*!"

*for horny men specifically

[Besticus Maximus]

The thread is 99% horny men tut tutting while turning each other on

Ugh, are you saying you haven't seen the horrible latest thing? Just look at it, isn't it terrible, why can't people be comfy lesbians?

[kaleidoscopium]

Or. Let me suggest something.

They could find a game that isn't made by disgusting misogynists that could make money WITHOUT profiting off of misogyny.

They didn't need to go after this dev or this game. There are literally hundreds of other projects they could've supported instead. So yes, any Sony executive who saw this shitpile and was like 'yes, we SHOULD put our name on this' deserves side-eye for the rest of their career. Including Mr. Nice Guy Shu.

I better see this at the top of every Sony thread from now on. Don't let them get away with this.

[kaleidoscopium]

My point is, there was no gun being pointed at their head saying "THIS IS THE ONLY GAME THAT WILL MAKE YOU MONEY".

They made a choice to push this game over everything else they could've published instead. They made a choice to repeatedly claim how much they care about diversity while their dumbfuck CEO refused to take a stand on abortion and their publishing wing hyped up this piece of shit. These are their choices. And those choices should be remembered.

[Averon]

PlanetSmasher been raging about SB for months. It reminds me of Kyuuji's jihad against CyberPunk 2077 in the run up to that game's launch.

[benji]

At this point I can't see how we can pretend Sony doesn't want Gamergate 2 to succeed. And that's one reason I refuse to buy Spider-Man on Steam for more than $10.

[Besticus Maximus]

What if Zaslav sees this and makes a Stellar Blade movie instead of a lesbian bat girl anime 

[HaughtyFrank]

What's amazing is that they're actually holding it against Sony that they have otherwise "diverse" (read ugly) characters and this makes it all the more of a betrayal of womankind

We'll add Games Development Producer to the long list of careers that PlanetSmasher has no discernible talent or understanding in.

its fine, they're ethically polygamous

[Nintex]

If it sells and reviews well it's going to SUCK seeing this nominated alongside a game like that. Let alone if it wins.

I totally forgot that the industry in such shambles that if this scores a 90+ metacritic across the board and Nintendo keeps their powder dry until the Switch 2 launch it could easily win the VGAs. 

Dragon's Dogma II
FF7: Rebirth
Stellar Blade

Are basically the big 3 releases for the first half of 2024.

That's the problem bud, your woke friends aren't developing shit so Sony has to look for games at South Korean smut developers 

[benji]

Oh god, imagine how terrible a well selling and well reviewed game be nominated for, or worse, winning, meaningless awards is going to be. I hadn't even thought about that.

[Besticus Maximus]

Does Nepenthe know that the trans mafia are trying to push white-adjacent imperialist nazi game Rise of the Ronin as an alternative vidya to known chud simulator Stellar Blade?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Will we finally see a new DOA Xtreme because of Stellar Blade?

[Alpacx]

What would Resetera do if a poster had one Headmate really horny for Stellar Blade and another Headmate who's in the Burka Brigade?

If "child Headmate" and "intrusive thoughts about children Headmate" TwoHearts is valid what isn't?
