CharlestheHammer posted:Iron blooded Orphans feels like a parody of Gundam in a way with the way it tries to be a serious war story while fitting as many anime cliches it can in as well. While IBO does take a more critical look at some classic Gundam tropes, like the flamboyant, mask-wearing rival, it's pretty middle-of-the-road in its anime cliche count by the standards of the franchise. You want to check out G, Wing, or SEED for Gundam at its Most Anime.

I mean harems, death monologues, and a villian with an insanely detailed master plan are the big three. IBO has all of em, even if it pretends it doesn’t. The villains master plan is hilariously dumb.

The whole thing read like the Thermian Argument to me. While it sounded interesting, that was just a summary and you'd actually have to sit through those episodes of horrible garbage to get to any kind of weak pay-off. Also, if I read correctly, since the anime doesn't make any kind of judgement on it, it sounds to me like the show wanted its cake and eat it too. Instead of having any kind of point they went for the "lots of speculation from everyone" route Mass Effect 3's written-on-a-napkin ending design doc went.

Oh yeah, he and a bunch of other UK based vlogging jerks got memberships in UKIP, right around the time its imploded membership collapsed, defections to the Tories, leaders lasting about a week, the only members with any public presence kept getting exposed as National Front style racists and had to be kicked out. I couldn't understand why they were bragging about joining a party in its death throes, I have a suspicion that they thought they could use their popularity to take it over. How's that for a very British Coup? I have no content but I do have some relevant to thread. Netflix added Steven Universe season one, and after that multi page slap fight I got curious and checked it out, it was alright the last third was pretty good and I ended up checking out the next four seasons. So far I've yet to find an Fascism apologia or the team becoming BFFs with Gem Hitler, but I haven't watched the fifth season yet so who knows?

As evidenced by Goblin Slayer's "some races only breed through rape and must be exterminated - what, no that doesn't resemble fascism at all" being a-ok in their book. Maybe Steven Universe does have some debatable points but calling is fascist is just being a hot taking poo poo stirrer trying to start fights, and I don't really need to hear from those any more.

How's that for a very British Coup? British pundits/influencers seem to be hilariously out of touch with the way the country goes, for good or ill. It's the reverse of every Guardian/mainstream progressive opinion writer going "BLOODY HELL COMMIE CORBYN WILL -RUIN- LABOUR IN THIS ELECTION!!!!" for about 3 months to shutting up a couple of days before the ballot when even the Tory polling was showing the tsunami was real. And then mumbling "Huh, guess he won, still an unproven dangerous bloke I guess though!" once the results were in. As for fascism apologia in SU, it's tryhard gossipy bullshit. It's not bad for a kid's cartoon to have a message of trying to build bridges, reach others and accept the reformation of those that can legitimately change and make amends for their misdeeds. We can teach them to punch nazis later on.

Max Wilco posted:There's another video on GDQ bans that I've seen pop up in related vids lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5TGFEoidEM Pro-tip: if you’re gonna plug some person no one in this thread has ever heard of before, maybe watch the video in full before pulling the lever on the internet catapult. Or look at the other stuff the dude has posted or what not. Because even a cursory glance at this duder’s work reveals that he’s a huge chud trying to trick people into thinking he’s a centrist by disingenuously Both Sides’ing every argument like Boogie does. For example, one of his more recent videos argues that Battlefield V does female representation poorly because women didn’t exist during WWII and saying they did and making them playable characters is just appeasing feminists, but you know what game DID get female representation right? Breath of the Wild, a game where the main female character is once again a trophy to be obtained at the end of the game, the other three principle female characters in it appear for about 20 minutes worth of the game and two of which are actually dead when you meet them, and features a mechanic where you have to cross-dress to fool an entire town full of women in order to gain access to it. Because when I think of progressive, female-positive material, I always look to a company packed to the gills with old conservative Japanese men to make them.

Also I just thought of it, SonicFox is an internet personality since he streams and stuff, watch this super queer, furry, black guy accept an award for (espurts) gamer of the year. It's also all the more awesome because his acceptance speech made a ton of chuds mad no matter what he'd say, plus he knows how to correctly respond to them. https://twitter.com/SonicFox5000/status/1070913600993189889

Imagine your wife suffering horribly and being too afraid of the internet to just go comfort her. He deserves everything that's going to happen to him.

When you nurture an audience of shithead sociopaths who think Nothing Matters and encourage them to emulate your own colossally lovely behaviour by mercilessly attacking anyone who shows weakness or vulnerability, you don’t get to really complain when they turn on you and use the tactics you taught them on you when you reveal a moment of weakness and vulnerability of your own to them. Losing a child through miscarriage is an awful and traumatic event, but I have no sympathy for the Face-Eating Leopard trainer now that the leopards have realized he also has a face that can be eaten and have started to chow down.

Instead of having any kind of point they went for the "lots of speculation from everyone" route Mass Effect 3's written-on-a-napkin ending design doc went. I think it does have a moral stance, in that it's all about mourning the cruel paradoxes of social change, and encouraging some measure of empathy to those trapped in them. It shows that living under a monstrous regime means that you carry some part of that monstrosity with you even when you rebel against it or try to be a good person within it, that the people most capable of enacting reform are generally the least willing, and that individual and general comfort are starkly opposed - you can only enact change by painting a target on your own back, and some overprivileged rear end in a top hat will probably take credit for it and vilify you, but it's often the only way to make other people's lives better. I say it's descriptive rather than prescriptive because it doesn't come up with a solution, but as an exposé of the ugly reality behind romantic myths of revolution and reform for high-school kids to mull over, it works pretty well. Even going 'poo poo is way more complicated than you think, so apply some actual critical thinking to what you're taught' is a useful message given how many simple, clean narratives we're raised on - consider how the American civil rights movement gets covered, for instance.

Nobody deserves a miscarriage and they shouldn't be mocked or insulted over it. Especially when there are so many other good reasons. Anyway the "totally unaware of GG" GoG PR guy got hired by some rightwing website already, so that was... 100% expected.
