It's because posting about politics, especially feminism, anywhere on the forums, ESPECIALLY in a games-related thread, is just a nuclear loving shitstorm waiting to happen.

See also: the Duke Nukem Forever gameplay thread. Except in that thread, Zorak actually made a point of ALLOWING such discussion for some god-unknown reason.

I think like half the posts in that thread ended up being comments about how horrible the entire Duke Nukem franchise was for encouraging "misogynist" or "regressive" attitudes. The whole thing was incredibly stupid. And still it just kept going.

They're for women because they're the most hidiously immasculating things around, and for fat people as there's no door to struggle with and they don't have to balance their stomach on a petrol tank like they would on a supersports. They just assume their favorite position (sitting down) and pootle along to the pharmacy to buy more insulin.

poo poo, they're already working on SC5. Awesome! I picked up SC4 on launch day and then got too distracted by school to play any of it until like a year and a half later, so I never got to post in the thread for it. Now I'm stuck on Floor 40-something in the Tower of Souls and having a bitch of a time getting past there.

Not to mention I missed all discussion regarding DAT rear end Ivy and her skimpy-licious outfit.

(and Shura too I guess, but she was a bonus character so yeah...... Girl had a fine rear end outfit though. And them titties... )



Whatever, as long as Ivy makes the cut with her trademark bootybutt-bootybutt-bootybuttcheeeks out on full display then I guess I'm happy. Zasalamel too, but mainly because I fuckin' love that scythe.

Also is it just me, or is Ivy easier to use in SC4 then she has been in previous games? Normally I try to avoid using skimpy-costumed lady characters since my vidjya game time is supposed to be Li'l Mjӧllnir's naptime and he gets cranky whenever he gets woken up, but somehow Ivy became my unofficial main early on in SC4 just because of how versatile she was and how easy it felt to switch between her sword states. I remember using her to beat a bunch of floors in Tower of Souls with almost no effort at all, which was nice because she has probably one of the coolest weapons in the whole series (right up there with Zasalamel and his rockin' scythe).

Didn't Ivy also swap into a new body she'd created or something? I think I remember there being some part of that backstory where she had planned to fight Soul Edge and/or her dad with a fake body that looked just like her so she wouldn't suffer the ill effects of the sword, but then her dad hosed up her plans and so she had to use it for herself instead.

Which I guess means that Ivy isn't really 49, since her body is still kinda brand spankin' (giggity) new.

Hunh, you saw that old thing?

Yeah it doesn't really mean anything, or at least it wasn't supposed to. I posted that in a Super Bowl thread awhile back with the idea being that it was like saying "this game is tits", except swapping "tits" with a different word (in this case, the N-word) for uh... freshness or whatever you call it when people get creative with words. Since the Super Bowl threads tend to move by like 2 or 3 pages a minute, I didn't think anybody would care enough to take it the wrong way. Obviously I miscalculated and the whole thing blew up in my face.

Honestly, I just picked the word "niggers" at random and it backfired royally, but even so it was never meant to be taken in a racist way.


Why do you ask? This isn't for some PYF poo poo, is it?
nah man, just curious.

Every time I feel bad for liking anime, something like this comes along and it makes me happy. The mental image of a teenage German girl getting banned for being a pedophile just adds that little extra spice to your average pedoban.

The only way this could be better is if the guy got perma'd for being a pedophile towards his namesake. Or was actually a female German pedophile.

I don't think there are any mechanical limitations. I swear I've seen people probated for posts from years and years ago, probably mentioned in this very thread. Probating years-old posts are probably just discouraged, rather than impossible.
