Sure. I think advances in alternative controller tech will help bridge that gap as well. Brolylegs can play competitive fighting games using mainly a few fingers and half of his face. The originally quoted person is clearly frustrated with his or her situation and it seems kinda silly to mock them over that!

This is exactly the kind of hilariously dumb poo poo I imagined people would say if I create a game with a white male protagonist. Can you post another version where you pretend that I actually created a game with a black female character and you've just found out I'm a cis-male white shitlord who dared to think he was capable of portraying a woman of color? I want to see what alternate reality SJW garbage might look like.

Man, you don't need special knowledge to write about people of color or women or whatever. They're not aliens, they don't have any necessary fundamental differences to who they are. Just take more of the games where spaceman flies around and shoots space guns pew pew, or big sword guy kills dragons, and have them do all the same poo poo they're doing where they're kicking rear end and killing bad guys, and make it sometimes be a lady or a black dude or something.

I think this is a much better solution than "white game writer nerds should start writing about the experience of being a black woman growing up in America".

How many white gamer writer nerds are writing about the experience of being a white dude growing up in America? Almost no games are about (allegorically or otherwise) actual real poo poo happening in America in TYOOL 2014. A lot of them are about sci-fi or fantasy or military gun shooting. Fun escapist stuff.

Actually, The Castle Doctrine is specifically about being a white dude in the Actual America Today Of The Developer's Personal Experiences where all your poo poo is constantly at threat of being stolen by the nameless and faceless hordes that are your neighbours unless you protect yourself with illegal death traps. So you're arguing against a strawman.

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier it's loving nuts the amount of abuse females in gaming get just being females. The only guy I can think of that came close is Phil Fish and to be honest it feels rather 50/50 with him. I do like the guy but I do feel like he has some underlying issues he needs to work through and being out of the limelight might help.

Didn't the woman behind Depression Quest get so much hate and harassment she even had to change her phone number?

I legitimately think that whoever created Birdetta (also inaccurately known as Birdo) as a joke deserves to be burned alive. Like legitimately, they deserve it unless they spend every second of the rest of their life repenting for it and trying to fix the damage they did. Same with whoever said during the American release of Final Fight, “We can’t have a game where one of the enemies that you beat up is a girl. Let’s make her a him and have them be transgender, then it will be okay.” I don’t care if those people are beloved game creators, they deserve to burn for something so horrendous and vile and inhumane.

And while we’re at it, the writer of Yu Yu Hakusho deserves to be slowly tortured to death for writing probably the most transmisogynistic scene I’ve ever had the mispleasure of watching.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Someone must have already quoted this.

quote:

My first thought when a developer placed the controller in my hand was the following: “Holy poo poo, that’s nice.” It takes a bit to work backwards to figure out everything Sony did in the design to get that reaction, but there you go.

It felt almost too good, like I was holding something illicit. I was afraid it would be taken away. It felt like the first time I touched a girl’s breast in the backseat of a car with fogged up windows, scared that her parents were going to fling the door open and start yelling at me. I wanted to grab the controller and run. I wanted to nuzzle it against my face and ask it who is a good controller? Who is a good controller?

You’re a good controller, you sexy thing, you.

...

So that's the breakdown of things, but everything taken as a whole has created a controller that feels almost stupidly great in my hands. Yesterday I felt my next child move for the first time. I felt her tiny feet kick through my wife's belly, my hand finally being given its first tactile evidence that my child is alive and healthy. That experience was several steps higher than feeling the PlayStation 4 controller for the first time but, damnit, they were closer than I'm comfortable admitting.

The titty part gets a lot of yukks but check out that bit where he has actually passed on his genetic goo* and is weird and creepy about that, too!

Maybe the fact that it would leave a baby fatherless will give something awful dot com poster Zoq-Fot-Pik pause in continuing to fantasize about this gaming journalist's death.

E: also some great content from helpful site http://vgtriggers.tumblr.com/

quote:

Trigger Warnings for Final Fantasy VII

Overview: Blood, ableist language, psychological issues, sexism, hinted sexual abuse, suicide, queer issues used as a comical relief, prostitution, impalement, terrorism, mass murder, hinted rape, space/meteors/stars/planets (in case you have astraphobia)

Blood: There’s not much blood in the game, you don’t see a character bleeding, but when you are leaving the Shinra Headquarters after rescuing Aerith and recruting Red XIII, theres a great amount of blood in the halls, hinting that people were brutally murdered by some kind of beast.

Ableist language: When you are invading the Shinra Headwuaters, you can choose to use the stairs or the front door. If you choose the stairs, Cloud, Tifa and Barret must run up stairs for quite some time, and Tifa will call one of the characters a r-word The game uses other slurs and swear words, but they are all censored, like “that little @$@!#”,

Pyschological issues: Cloud goes through some intense psychological issues, you literally go through his mind on CD2 and it’s not an easy quest, you go through shattered memories and feelings with the help of an outsider. Cloud stays in a hospital for his psychological issues (it is not said what it is, but we assume its depression and PTSD, among others), loses his ability to talk, walk and is in a wheelchair. You play as Cid and Tifa through this difficult time.

Sexism: Mostly with Tifa. There’s some emphasis on her breasts during her cutscenes. She was designed to arouse young men. Even though we know Tifa knows how to fight and is a badass martial arts fighter, she engages in a cliché “cat-fight” with Scarlet at the beginning of the CD2, some kind of slapping contest. Aerith is feminine and is portrayed as religious (we oftenly see her praying and in a church), and the narrative makes it look like she is “a good girl”, falling into the pure-hearted-good-girl gender stereotype. She is also portrayed to be physically weak, always in need of a bodyguard. Her death is used to help Cloud with his own storyline, falling into the women in the fridge trope. Cid tends to be sexist, too. He’s constantly yelling at Shera, asking her to make tea and calling her stupid. The game portrays his ways around her to be okay, because “she is to blame” that he didn’t fulfill his dreams and that “we know he likes her.”

Hinted Sexual Abuse: If we analyze the etymology of Lurecia’s name, we will realize she was named after mythical Roman figure Lucretia, who is a rape victim. It is possible that Lucrecia was named after Lucretia as a reference that perhaps her relationship with Hojo wasn’t as consensual as we assume it was.

Suicide: A character jumps off a cliff after a fight in the Corel Prison, during the development of Barret’s storyline on CD1

Queer issues: Cloud is forced into crossdressing as a comical relief, some people are “weirded out” and call him weird. There is an actual crossdresser character that is treated with respect, though. Homosexuality is also seen as something “funny”, as Cloud is forced to bath with a bunch of man for a whole minute, if I recall correctly. You get to choose to go through this scene or not. In the Honey Bee Inn, if you choose the #@!$ room, you are going to go through a scene where Cloud collapses due to his subconsciousness emerging and asking what is he doing in a place like that, and if you choose the other room, the Group Room, you get to see Cloud in a bathtub with homosexual characters who are portrayed to be older, creepy and forceful.

Prostitution: There are male and female prostitutes in CD1 in the Honey Bee Inn. The female prostitutes are dressed as bees, and the male prostitutes are dressed according to the macho-men stereotype.

Impalement: At the end of the CD1, Aerith gets impaled. So does Cloud, around the CD2 in a flashback. Both by Sephiroth.

Terrorism: AVALANCHE is an eco-terrorist group. They bomb Mako Reactors on CD1. Shinra commits terrorism as well on CD1, blaiming the AVALANCHE members.

Mass murder: Sephiroth, directly and indirectly, commits a great deal of murders. He murder people and burn them alive in the village of Nibelheim traumatizing Cloud for his life, as seen on a flashback on CD2. He is also behind the mass murder in the Shinra Headquarters on CD1.

Astraphobia: The game references to outer space a lot. You get to visit a planetarium on CD1, you see meteors all the time during battles, there are some cutscenes of the meteor falling from the sky and traveling through the universe and one of Sephiroth’s ability during the final battle is a 1 minute sequence of his power destroying all the Solar System.

Trigger Warning: Outer Goddamn Space.
