that was carlos maza and iirc after crowder was demonitized he still continued to lob homophobic slurs at him.

Also i believe that was when youtube "cracked down" on hate speech/extremist speech by permabanning some channels that were tiny and then patted themselves on the back for it.

If I recall a whole bunch of those were leftists with Crowder video snippets in their video and also Three Arrows.

It's the conflict of our age. Traditionalist trans VS non binary trans.

Big trans (played by Mickey Rourke in the movie adaptation) putting pressure on cis content creators to declare themselves.


I can sorta understand Olly chickening out. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose from taking a stance. Wish he would have avoided painting NBs as violent hatemongers. I mean he is a notable leftist celebrity and sifting his email he can probably find 24 hour a day bullshit from rightwingers. I'm not really convinced that NBs telling him to declare himself was any worse than anything else in there.

How did Integras dad defeat Alucard anyway?


I have no idea why I even like this franchise. There's zero suspense ever because the world is D&D and Alucard is level 50 and everyone else is capped at level 10 so every single fight ever is just him playing with the enemy and then killing them with no risk to himself ever.

One of the often recurring ideas in Hellsing is basically every man in it is secretly a monster who really, really wants to die. But since they're also proud of being fighters or whatever it has to be "earned", so to continue the DnD analogue, if you last 10 rounds in combat and actually deal at least 50 points of damage in that time they'll "let" you have it and stop using their deadliest attacks.

I always assumed you actually watched the show because Seras and Integra were loving great though.

They were. Didn't care for how they sexualized Seras in the OVA but at least she does something there. In the older anime she has one moment of truth. Alucard is in danger and needs a mag for his gun and calls on her to get it and she fails and he has to get it with mind powers himself

The anime does better in highlighting her as a novice vampire. Anderson puts one blade through her throat and she's in serous trouble because she refuses her gifts and wants to pretend she's a human. In the OVA he turns her into a pin cushion with blessed silver blades and she's like "well this is a bother!"


I thought Anderson was never considered human by Alucard in any of the shows because he had been given regenerative powers through experiments.

Could I just get the church scene from the anime instead of the priest groping her in the woods?

And maybe a better excuse for why Alucard had to shot her instead of just using his vampire powers to flay that priests poo poo right there.


That church scene was goddamn fantastic and sold me on the whole franchise.

No, Alucard respected the hell out of Anderson, and it's why he's absolutely mortified to see Anderson turn himself into a true monster like Alucard.

What's that speech then? "a human regenerator? Putting you out of your misery would be an act of mercy" Was that from the older series?

The line at the very end about Alucard “killing” the millions of souls he absorbed, mostly from the slaughtered population of London, in order to find himself was a... fun bit of existential horror that wasn’t really elaborated on.

I thought it was everyone he ever killed in his whole life. All being trapped inside him that he now killed the souls of.

That's what his undead army was I believe. Him channeling those imprisoned souls.

I watched bleach years ago and I thought the main character was kind of bland crap but I really appreciate the part where they want to the spirit world. And he spends something like one of two seasons running around fighting bosses and you expect them to die but then those bosses join the good guys and the past season in retrospect turn out to be their characterization buildups and now they are all well defined as the join the good guys instead of showing up out of nowhere.

Except that one science guy who had a mask I think. He was basically spirit world Josef Mengele and it's really odd how the show has him being an ally of the heroes because his super power is inhumane chemical warfare.


There was also some officer who was a big haired 13 year old straight out of DBZ and I didn't like him. But I really liked the guy with the eyepatch who's power may have been that he was just flat out indestructible?

Ellis's was flawed at best but like hell did you read it? First pic was her calling buck by name and saying he's caused harm to the community.


Aside from that the fact Hbomber guy didn't literally say "Buck Angel" doesn't really change the fact he unambiguously called him a poo poo head so it sounds more like the bad faith talking.

Unless you were referring to a non-twitter thing thought smile distanced from actually talking about this and and rejected interpretations of their statements of "Throwing NBs under the bus" as about Contra.(At least directly).
Doesn't quite fit nudist standards but maybe that's not yours.
Odd to go at least in response to his evaluation then tho but sure they have been like enlightened about this poo poo so i agree.

Also Mia was practically like half of Hbomber's, A" don't get me involved in this", and a defense of Hbomber.

Fine by my standards again sure but hardly from the user your responding to.

Mia did tweet that she was tired of rich trans people and that Buck Angel was a monster. Which is probably the firmest stance i have seen yet.

Deadspace 3's weapon system was so garbage. Players want weapon variation. In Deadspace 3 you could build a rocket launcher and then put a rocket launcher attachment on it while making yourself conveniently immune to rocket damage and just fire into the ground to kill everything around you.

I had to restart my first playthrough of the game because as a new player I didn't understand the weapon crafting system and accidentally wasted a bunch of crafting materials and so had to make due with the starting weapon through some really hard content.

Starting here he's got a HUGE twitter thread about it:

https://twitter.com/trihex/status/1187523040193732608

I've seen a few replies here and there about this being hypocritical I guess, because Trihex dropped the F-bomb at one point last year (it's why he got banned from GDQ where he was gonna do Mario Maker with a few others). However the big difference there is that Trihex has been publicly apologetic about it like a billion times and instantly regretted it after doing it. While this Destiny guy... doesn't seem to care at all????

I thought the F-bomb was "gently caress" how does he have to apologize for that?

You have to wonder what these guys inner circles sound like when a person just develops the habit of throwing "f*g" around to the point where they can't even filter it out in public.

That's the real bottom of the iceberg. Not that he said it but that he hangs out in a community where saying it regularly is okay and he has to pretend that he's better than that in public.

It's like these streamers accidentally dropping racial slurs and then apologizing. Somewhere out there they are gaming it up with their mates and throwing racial slurs left and right without comment.

It's not about how much money they have as it is about how much money investors want in profit.

Fallout 76 was a disaster but I still want to have faith in Bethesda. Fallout 3 was probably the most ground breaking FPS since Modern Warfare 1 and then Half Life 2 before that.


They've also been investing in having some fantastic games produced like the Wolfenstein and Doom games.


Wish they would reboot Future Shock because that was an amazing open world-esque game for its time.

They’re different economies. Right-wing poo poo is paid for by a few millionaires to make it seem as if right-wing ideas are popular—except for sargon, who is genuinely crowd-funded. The right wing also has no need of novelty or even argument. All their poo poo is endless ritual repetition of a few core concepts so as to keep beliefs alive and reinforce them in the face of contradiction. They can pump things out endlessly because to them it’s basically just the same endless chant with variations of “Anita” in a key spot one day and “Ocasio-Cortez” the next.

At first Hazbin Hotel reminded me of "Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt" with the whole "Dexters laboratory" animation vibe but also for an obviously adult audience. But I hadn't watched that show in several years and in retrospect Hazbin is just so much more cleanly animated.
