I think a lot of the folks complaining about it want to make it important and obvious how you need to be "polite and reasonable" about the illness of someone in charge whereas when they poo poo on the poor and migrants, they should have free reign.

It's hypocrisy, a whole lot of it. Also I have never played any Final Fantasy game through to completion, and never 7 at all, is Barratt an okay character?

Barrett is the best

I haven't played the FF7 remake (and have no real intention to because I have very strong and nerd-rear end opinions about the fact they shouldn't have made it), but I'm gonna say that OP's probably got a very legitimate complaint going on there. Barrett's always been basically 'late 90s Japan's attempt to write a black guy from a 70s action franchise', I'm really not surprised to hear that they weren't able to excise that. Especially since it looked like the black guy they're basing him on to still be one that's several decades out of date.

FF7's remake and Doom Eternal are basically tag-teaming the role of 'big new pop culture thing you're not allowed to criticize' right now. It's kinda fascinating how you get two entirely different types of angry nerd depending on which one you speak out against.

There is in fact a shitton of criticism of both everywhere

I also ban all 'short' races (halflings, goblins, kobolds, kender, kenku, etc.), because if I had a dollar for every time a dude wrote me a six page rape fantasy that went on and on about how 'She looks like a toddler, but actually she's 35!', I'd have seven dollars. I also don't allow tieflings since CR came out, because same thing, only the rape fantasy is about the 9-year-old blue tiefling girl in that one.

uh, I think the problem is something other than hobbits and tieflings here

Also jumping on the unironically this train. During peak COVID in my country streets were really quiet and it was a joy to bicycle. Now it's back to normal and constant noise and cars. All cars except some necessary supply trucks and public transport should be banned.

Yes a pandemic is definitely the best time to make everyone use public transport, we definitely need more infections

Huh - that makes sense. I've got some friends from South Asia and some from the Caribbean who still have a sense of belonging to there, despite never visited, because to their parents it means something.
I guess my bafflement is that I'm english sub-working class and we don't really have a culture anymore. My cultural identity is a blank, so I have no attachment to something that doesn't exist. But I guess if you actually have a history or culture you can relate to and have a sense of contact through relatives, then it would be a tangible part of your life.
Weird - I live in the purportedly historic UK, but have no history I can claim. But then I'm very low class scum and probably don't count for a drat thing.
All power to your heritage! (as long as you don't get racially odd about it - then go gently caress yourselves)

Every place has a culture, it's often just more difficult to see if you are yourself from the mainstream culture of the place you live.

What makes England the funniest, isn't that its the worst (cos its not, Poland and Hungary have a far worse fash problem than England does) but that it almost all self inflicted. It all happened as a "4d chess" move to quell the strength of the most right wing elements of the Conservative party. And it back fired tremendously.

Yeah it backfired into the conservatives having a massive majority in the parliament

Specific qualifiers like demisexual are useful jargon in certain conversations about sex and relationships.

So far only thing the term 'demisexual' seems to do is make arguments about the term 'demisexual'
