Kai Tave posted:A quick skim through their other articles reveals headlines like "Rashida Tlaib just can’t quit her anti-Semitism" and "In 2019, men are broke and broken by wokeness" so I definitely feel like their article about how Zoe Quinn literally murdered a man with her vile irresponsible ways is definitely reputable. PM is a Canadian alt-right haven. They seem to have been founded to push the "People's Party of Canada" who are basically our party of pure hatred and xenophobia.

There's only two male fighters: Beowolf and Big Band. There's a lot of characters that are the result of experiments and such, but Big Band is one of them. There's basically only three fully human characters and two of them are women.

I am not making excuses for stupid gross poo poo. i guess i mean shits "matured" somewhat at least outside of steam. Yeah it feels like newer games are at least attempting to acknowledge messed up things as being awful instead of just going for shock value. Somewhat arguable in TLOU2's case, but Witcher 3 and Red Dead 2 (surprisingly from Rockstar) mostly treat the messed up stuff as hosed up, wrong and traumatizing for everyone involved.

yeah I don't get the appeal of that at all except for edgy shock value. Stuff like deadnaming trans characters causes enough trauma. Also considering some devs have their artists study gore and snuff films to the point of getting PTSD to "get things right" do we really want them being forced to watch the material needed to nail that down?

Inspector Gesicht posted:Since the sole developer has no real skill at anything but burning bridges it's safe to say that game will never release as intended. At this rate I'm sure a more competent team will beat them to the punch on the same premise. Sort of like how Elite Dangerous is fulfilling the promises that Star Citizen is failing to keep, like in-game bartenders. Apparently some folks did try to make a better version of Yandere Sim (even removing the creepier ideas like taking panty shots) and YanDev literally threatened to kill himself if they didn't shut down the project. They cancelled the project. He is a complete shithead in every possible way.

Also he's affiliated with GoG which is incredibly sus if any of their many lovely marketing dogwhistles are any indication. Also a good friend of Sseth who while I don't think is a chud, is very much chud aligned in his humor.

I see people who like the same people I like say he's awesome, and I've watched like almost all of his videos and his humor is... like not even humor. He just repeats 4chan memes, and dog whistles. I actually enjoy "edgy" humor but if you're gonna use stereotypes and memes you gotta use them to make a new joke, just repeating them isn't funny! He's got good taste in games but so do a whole lot of other people and I can watch their videos without my head spinning wondering why the hell people think this is funny/good. Yeah I don't get it either. He's okay in his Mandalore cameos though since he tends to just deliver a goofy line or two.

As far as anyone is concerned, Yoko Taro has "won" celebrityhood. The way Taro talks in earlier interviews also makes it obvious the mask helps him cope with stage fright. He doesn't really like being in the public eye so he essentially created a character for that purpose.

The accusation that started this current wave is him having contact (who started it is unknown) with a fan a few months before her 18th birthday but their relationship not getting sexual until she was 22. After which he ghosted her. People seem to be mixing that case up with others where the victims are saying they were more underage when he started with them. There are also folks claiming a bunch of the allegations are copied and pasted from other manufactured KF allegations so who knows at this point. If the video turns out to have been with an adult or Dan goofing around, it should be pretty easy for him to prove since it's a clip from a larger video going by the timestamp. That won't exonerate him completely of course if there's any chance of any of the other allegations against him being true. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Mar 22, 2021 |

Yeah. If you believe the subreddit mods, it doesn't look like Dan contacted her when she was 18 at all, but that doesn't mean he didn't use her status as a fan to manipulate her as he's been accused of doing with many others over the years. So he's still an abusive creeper and likely groomer but pedophile probably doesn't apply.

bobjr posted:I must have missed all the pedophile accusations, because from most stuff I’ve seen it’s “he’s not a pedophile, but you don’t have to be a pedophile to do creepy and wrong sexual behavior”. His defenders are trying to claim folks were painting him as a pedophile (when that seemed to be super rare even in the twitter cesspool) as a way to distract from the allegations. All that's happened is thanks to the one accuser clarifying what actually happened is that Dan is slightly less lovely than he was being painted as. But only slightly. He's still a goddamned predator sexpest taking advantage of people.

There is someone in the replies I trust on this stuff (Red Bard) saying he's been having sex with fans for years and it's been covered up Certainly this batch of evidence looks pretty doctored though. The account only just being created also is fishy.
