Everything Nepenthe gets involved in is wrong, ridiculous, spiteful and reactionary

Of course the KIA idiots are already sperging out:

If GameFreak had just done what the fans have been begging for and given the Pokemon guns then this game would never have needed to exist. But of course those perverse Unit 731 Axis fuckers at Nintendo would rather see Pokemon tortured with electrocution, poisoned, burned, frozen, or even paralyzed (PAR) instead.

Meanwhile from Copeworld -

Why is this game's sales such a big deal? Didn't Zelda TOTK sold 10 million copies in 3 days?

[Bootsthecat]

I actually want to see some of this stuff picked up by msm. Pure lunacy. Over a children-focused video game. There are no actual convictions, nobody cares about any of this shit like plagarism, genocide, etc. they just want to sperg and battle. From one thing to the next. I know we all know this, its just....how are there so many of them? 

Also, OT section is boring last couple days as a result. C'mon team trrannny, let's get some saucy news up to draw some fun attention and subsequent lulz

[Boredfrom]

It's the end result of the whole "It's always moral to steal from so-and-so" thing that's been going around the last few years. Like, why are we shocked people feel this way when that's what they've been saying for years and years?

I quite genuinely can't believe we had a thread in 2024 wherein people unironically argued that you can rip assets from games and put them in your game as long as you edit them slightly. And that we should abolish copyright. Both stances presented under the pretense of "I'm anti capitalist/corporate."

Palworld OT ~900 posts
Bitching about palworld thread ~3300 posts

They really are the most miserable fucks on the planet.

Only sorta related, but this reminds me of how some localizer smuggled "All property is theft" into Ghostwire Tokyo before it eventually got patched out

Can’t believe Sony are funding that Terf Bitch’s genocide campaign, and ree are openly platforming the hate station. So much for allies.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Armchair Diagnosis of Mental Health; Ableist Rhetoric

The way he kept on messaging even after she stopped responding makes me think he might be on the spectrum. I think if she told him to knock it off he might have, but i'm not saying she had to or even should have done that or anything. It's a shitty situation and not responding at all is totally valid.

What he did is still gross.

I thought Era were all about the armchair diagnosis

I feel sad for her. She did something amazing and huge. And this is what she got for not being in agenda

[Lonewulfeus]

Benji!!! A resetera user is plagiarizing my posts!  I feel unsafe rn.  Do something.

This and the other thread combined have almost 6.5k posts, while the OT has only 900 wow. And the tone and attitude towards the game is completely opposite in the two threads. The discussion around this game is sooo interesting to follow and observe.

[Besticus Maximus]

they didn't plagiarise, they just traced the ideas

I just don't understand the effort to look clean for a few months then blow it up by just being another run-of-the-mill transphobe we see everyday, except they put in like 10 times the effort to look clean for a bit, and it just amounts to them being laughed at for half a day. It sounds like such a tremendous waste of time. Even I don't focus on trans issues or "being trans" enough to make it take up that much of my time.

Heck yeah! I love all the transformations, but Swordfighter Peach is simply a lesbian icon.

[Greatness Gone]

>female does traditionally male thing so that makes her a lesbian

they will never be self-aware enough to understand how ignorant they constantly make themselves look

[Uncle]

did u know that every time a woman does something vaguely masculine and tough she is lesbian or trans

every time

women have to behave a very specific way to remain cis and straight, and can never slip up even once

[Uncle]

as soon as peach picked up that sword, her lips were inexorably drawn to the nearest clit

[Hap Shaughnessy]

 

They can't be that stupid, right?  Right?

I love the argument that they all just "based on the same animal(s)"

ON WHAT EARTH DO ANIMALS LOOK LIKE ANY OF THAT

[Boredfrom]

I’m impressed in how much misinformation they allow to spread in the the Palworld threads. Is pretty easy to make shit out when the developer doesn’t speak you lenguage (like the example that HaughtyFrank posted above).

User Banned (1 Week): Driveby Trolling; Account in Junior Phase

If only this mercantile/capitalistic rot has not destroyed peoples brains.

I don't care for Palworld but I'm rooting for them now, because of holy shit!, even if they 100% lifted Pikachu from Pokemon game it would not be a theft or stealing.

Maybe one day, human creativity will be free from that nonsens.

User Banned (1 Week): Antagonizing Fellow Members; History of Hostility

Defending lazy and plagiarized stuff is wack, as is defending a CEO who has very questionable ideals. But more than that, some users keeping track of steam playerbase stats with like 100 consecutive posts in a sales thread is just sad, like I feel bad. All seems to be part of the same package deal you sign up for when defending dodgy stuff in general, gotta double down on everything.
