FACT CHECK

Corporations have such a monopolistic hold on the shit we need to buy to live that for many people this isn't going to be a realistic choice.

Time to stop thinking "ethical consumption" under capitalism will save you versus organizing and creating anti-capitalist systems that fill in stop gaps and provide support in your community.

Organize and create anti-capitalist systems like ResetEra then sell them to foreign investors.

Can you guys tell Donald to shut the fuck up? 

I don’t want to pay 2000 pesos for a new video game.

[kaleidoscopium]

I mean, we're talking to a forum full of people that can't even bring themselves to stop eating the bigot chicken, so I guess I see your point. Still seems like a more realistic option than dismantling capitalism though.

Chick fil-a causing them constant brain trauma won’t stop being funny to me

I didn't say dismantle capitalism (although that is the ultimate goal); I said to organize and create stop-gap systems.

Some of y'all are so adversed to actually going out to help your communities that you've convinced yourselves that consumerism is somehow going to empower minorities. You look at the Black Panthers, go "well, that's neat," and don't take no applicable lessons from them.

User banned (1 month): Dismissing concerns of misogyny and sexism across multiple posts

Sincerely, you should give this thread a read https://www.resetera.com/threads/wh...ed-where-the-eyes-cant-escape.275780/page-437

There's more nuance to this than you're maybe expressing or considering here. Stellar Blade has seen some coverage, though you might have to dig.

Sexualised representation isn't inherently negative or positive, but there's a huge amount baked into the design intent and the agency of the characters in how that's perceived. This is a pretty major part of why Stellar Blade,'s overtly sexual designs (exclusively for the female characters I should add) get some criticism here.

Women enjoying them doesn't necessarily mean they weren't designed with the male gaze in mind, but it also doesn't mean you're a bad person in some way for enjoying them either.

That said, going to bat for them as some of your favourite designs invites some more fervent criticism than you might get in the standard threads.

Ah yes, sorry but I never read this thread. But I understand what you're refering to I think. I heard something like this months and months ago about Stellar Blade. And I'll never read this thread. I don't want to read people telling other people what's good and what's not like they were talking for everyone in the world. I'm not going to change my opinion because how other people see something. And I don't plan to try to change anyone opinion. I'll just like to see more open-minded people and less attacks and diabolizing methods (internet likes to do this a lot).

And I think the title "Why women criticise sexualised character designs" is a bad title because it implies that all women criticize and don't like sexualized character design and I hate it when someone puts a whole community of people in the same basket. I know that some Character designs are dumb as fuck in some medias (Really Light armors, strange clothes, etc...).

If the title is an answer to a lot of guys asking this question, I don't even want to read it because the question is clumsy at best.

But I understand why so many people don't like Stellar Blade and want to hate on every person who like the design. Many Stellar Blade "fans" likes the game only because it's a vision "against" the occidental progressist vision. I never talk about animes with anime fans online because a lot of Anime fans are too passionate and toxic (and dumb). But if the online fight over Stellar Blade is between fans of the game and haters who both love and hate it for political reasons I find that very sad and unfair.

"designed with the male gaze in mind" and I don't care about this because everything is designed to appeal to some people. I don't see why a character design should be different here. If males are not the only one to enjoy it then why being so hateful about it? That's not because I like Lily's design in the game that I think it's a great outfit for someone IRL. But even if someone wears this IRL, I don't have a word to say about it if I like it or not. I think the problem in Stellar Blade isn't the women bots design, it's the bland design of Adam. I like creatures designs so far (I'm at Gorrilla Boss).

Good evening, ResetEra! I am a new member, but before joining I often used to open the website just to read what people have been saying about pretty much everything, however, recently I decided to join the conversation, it's a pleasure to meet you all.

A Wukong win would be funny for the shitstorm on this site lol.

Still would deserve a win though, since it's one of those few games where u can feel it was made with a lot of passion, instead of going by the book. They could've charged so much content as microtransactions. Weapons, armor, hidden bosses and could've made the ability to reskill cost resources. Instead, everything was included in the package and u got what u paid for. Trying new builds was a painless and smooth experience and it rewarded the player for switching it up when stuck. The end of the act animations and music were top notch.

Still prolly won't win, because of reasons, but I'm glad it got nominated at least.

From the ones on the list, a Balatro win would be huge. Such an original game and I doubt anyone could predict how big and addicted it would be. The others on the list have that "more of the same" kind of vibe.

I think he's a real person, I remember his topic about how he refuses to let the poor bastards at big box stores check his receipt because he's brown and feels racially targeted when they do. 

[Averon]

Women did. The people actually impacted by misogyny. Your insistence on proudly declaring that you will not listen to women on this topic shows a face-blistering lack of self awareness. Ban should've been longer.

And yet if he'd invoked his wife or girlfriend being fine with SB's designs you would've immediately dismissed it. About a dozen or so mtf trans people on ERA who only been women for a couple years at most have declared themselves to be the ultimate arbiters of womanhood on ERA. Any women that disagrees with them are dismissed, and if you use actual biological women close to you in your life as counterpoints you're immediately banned.

they didn't have any choice

the virtual console made every single developer with a back catalog go  

they are all selling their titles themselves in their own packages, they have no reason to give nintendo a big cut to appear on their service

that's why NSO is all the shitty table scraps that nintendo owns like urban champion or companies that literally don't care at all

konami, capcom and square have no reason to give nintendo 30% of their proceeds or whatever, not when they can sell FF classics, dragon quest remakes, castlevania collections, mega man collections etc

Shhhhh, don't you know Nintendo bad?

Be brave enough to criticize your favorite video game company.

I can and do when it's warranted. It's just that you need to remember that not all decisions they make are because they're trying to screw you over personally. Maybe there's other reasons they changed tactics, just like Uncle illustrated.

This is exactly the kind of bullshit I hate. This fucker (male btw.) declares to speak for all women. Point out that not all women feel this way about videogame boobies and you get banned.

I'm too lazy to quote it, and it's mostly the same stupid arguments, but the burka brigade successfully stormed the favorite character design thread going after anyone who likes Stellar Blade. Cuntyi also in there trying to play both sides

I love the Kyuuji post there. It's just so...knowingly untouchable. 

"Now now...don't mansplain why these grossly sexualized women, such as Eve, from Stellar Blade <insert lusty gif> are portrayed the way they are. You are silencing women who are disturbed by the obvious, clear intent to titillate. Women are rightful to be upset.

To contribute personally, my favorite character design is Eve. No further comment.

Benji only finding pre-transition pics of a bulky balding ranga who, quite frankly, looks like a chud is probably a big giveaway for me.
