Both sides of this are ridiculous.
This a million times.

I'm out before I get myself banned over this. Holy fuck that blog.These people are not imaginary:
I think they like doing that though? Their wave of new supporters are championing them for being so against the bad guys. They're not exactly cowering and wimpering lmao.Doubt that, this situation will probably make them feel worse. Since it's now something removed from the sale and they have to import. Feeling like some pervert subverting the roadblocks the system put in place.
I think the warrior part came from because thats how people envisoned the people see themselves, radicals don't call themselves radicals after all. Kinda like calling someone a "white knight" in a negative way.
This a million times.
I don't think P-A gives a shit lol
'Stupid'? Given how often it's been trotted out now for years I don't think Schrier himself stands by what he originally wrote; the debate afterwards he had here about it was a disaster.Since SJW is a GG-tainted pejorative, is there an acceptable term for the kind of thinking behind the infamous Kotaku article on Dragon's Crown?
How exactly is Dragon's crown a poorly designed game? Dislike the character designs all you want if they aren't your thing, but the actual GAME part of it is great.I think poorly designed games like Dragon's Crown and Hatred don't deserve to sell well really.
wait what are the sides, again?

That actually reminds me that if I was someone who was interested in this game (which is perfectly fine obviously), I would be concerned that PlayAsia and the Gamergate people are co-opting the game and turning it into a hill to die on in the name of their ideology. As a consumer, I wouldn't want to be associated with bigots like Breitbart, GG, and all the rest of the reactionary conservatives we see.
If anything, X3 could make them ludicrously rich, if they did it right. (not releasing it in the West is not doing it right.)
Not only are they relying on a specific narrative, but they're also retweeting racists and posting Breitbart articles, I'm not sure how clearer this can be.
that seems....extreme.i just preordered the $300 version of doax3 from PA.
Can anyone post any pics or vids here so I can see what so problematic?
And anime aficionados wonders why they get a bad rep. This is the sort of company that panders and markets to that customer base.
Wait a minute.
DOAX2 was released on x360 all over the world and sold like rat shit (it's still shit but so common no one would even bother trying to study it).
I can get that the Japan version was ampered by the dismal performance of the 360, but what's the excuse for the rest of the world?
I mean we're still discussing the sequel to that game no one wanted to play, that barely anyone bought and everyone is joking at how pandering it is, right?
What narrative? That games being hindered from a western release because of social media is something stupid? That's common sense. Not everyone who disagrees with you is in some weird ass cult.

Since apparently you're just a scum sucking sex starved troglodyte if you've ever enjoyed one of these games, I guess I should attempt to explain the appeal to our betters.
They're fun, kitschy trash.
That wasn't so hard after all I guess.
I find pervy stuff that objectifies adult women to be shamelessly entertaining. It's also not all I enjoy, or the only representation of women I find appealing. I won't defend the product as art, I won't pretend these characters are 3 dimensional (so to speak~), I have no excuse for why I find them funny, but it's not explicit raunch either and I wouldn't enjoy it as much if it was actual hardcore porn, which, yes, I could look up at the drop of a hat if I wanted to.
This is closer to one of those cheesy girl calendars you'd find at any mechanic shop than porn. And, even though I'm straight, I'd also get a kick out of a game with a bunch of brainless near-naked dudes running around with bulge physics. I'd totally play that if someone made it. I would also totally play a sexy trash game with better mechanics and characterizations - actually I think I have this year, it was called Onechanbara.
I also have no problem whatsoever with other people having a problem with them because they find them offensive. I actually enjoy listening to other people's opinions on things, why they find something problematic, and I like to broaden my perspective of the world.
I have a certain level of respect for the existence of a niche product that exists solely for indefensible laughs and dubious fetishes, but that doesn't preclude me having far greater respect for the fact that the industry needs vastly improved representations of many marginalized groups. I also recognize that my life would not be negatively affected in any way if these unapologetic Benny Hill games went by the wayside and games with extremely positive representations of women became ubiquitous, but other people's lives might be improved. The kind of warm attachment you can feel for a character just because of how they look and the fact you control them is nothing compared to what you get from a character you actually believe, both from how they are presented and how you interact with them.
And if you just want to just talk about why anyone would play mechanically vapid games with virtually nonexistent plotlines and 1 dimensional jokes where believable characters could exist and whose main focus is largely wacky physics, I suggest you ask the 12 million people who bought Fallout 4.

Why, hello, welcome to the thread. We are not talking about what you think we are talking before reading the actual posts, but thanks for sharing anyway.
So former IGN and GS journalist are pissed at PA for taking a stand.
It's sorta funny.
trust me play-asia is like one step about j-list in terms of shitty companies that anime aficionados avoid ordering from.
Snip

Plus porn is objectification by nature. Outside of illegal shit it makes no sense to get up in arms over something that's supposed to get you off is getting you off through slutty, pandering means.Since apparently you're just a scum sucking sex starved troglodyte if you've ever enjoyed one of these games, I guess I should attempt to explain the appeal to our betters.

There's a bunch of posts in here expressing what they are responding to, actually. Might not be the dominant topic right now, but it has nevertheless reared its ugly head.Why, hello, welcome to the thread.

I've never actually heard of someone ordering from J-List. I swear they're just supported by internet adverts. I swear it.Trust me play-asia is like one step about j-list in terms of shitty companies that anime aficionados avoid ordering from.

There's at least 4 or 5 posts in here that my post is directed towards, I'm not sure what you mean. I've already commented on the actual OP, but I guess since you've read every post you already knew that. But yeah, I should clearly see myself out.
There are actually a few posts in here that amount to "don't get it. Just watch porm lolz". Or calling fans of the games "neckbeards". I'm guessing this is a response to those.

Is there a way to speak out against sex negative feminism without being a Gamergater ally?
Seems unfair and presumptuous to lump P-A in with GG when they haven't voiced support.
Or am I missing something they've said besides those flippant tweets?
