I really want some reees to discover Eddie murphy did standup comedy before he did kids movies because it’s fucking brilliant 80s
But if you did this today you would be hitler rising from the grave

Edit
I should say that i laughed like a schoolgirl when i heard it in the 80s but its pretty horrible these days now that im older...the difference is i realise that this was a different time
and time does give you life experience to reflect on things instead of being outraged by everything

Just want to point out that FIFA is probably as diverse as you can get, it literally mirrors real life. How exactly is FIFA "white".

Also counting Asian characters as white will never not be funny to me.

If you want to complain that some characters are boring, sure go ahead, but that has nothing to due with them being white. A silent protagonist isn't going to become more interesting just because he spent a few more hours sunbathing.

lold @ the idea of a straight white male protag sunbathing to meet diversity criteria

I guess we know the plot for the new all female terminator movie...feminists send terminators back in time to erase the wrong doers of the 70s/80s/90s and pretty much most of the 00s

Joey/Ross/Chandler...you're terminated

Literally first page has 5 meaningless''Yikes!'' posts next to all the other initial underbelly commentary. Really, they should introduce a time limit: Post a thread like this and then keep it locked for 10 mins or so, so anyone pulling a yikes isn't doing so out of initial shock.

Ofcourse one of those Yikes was from SweetNicole, herself the queen of moral surpremacy.

And ofcourse nobody is thinking about the possibility of the THQ's Twitter being hacked.. Its almost like Jussie Smolett all over again!

F fantomena since you are asking there what it is, its just 4chan but worse. Yes, somehow it could get worse.

What was that western movie start that's not Clint Eastwood people were complaining about o Twitter last week?

 

[Shaqazooloo]

I thought 8chan was a deepweb thing, I guess I might've been looking at a super 8chan.

So, I assume it's likely that they were hacked, since if 8chan is just worse 4chan I don't know why they would opt to go there for an ama instead of a place like reddit. Also, 4chan and 8chan or whatever are anonymous from my understanding, so it can't be verified that its them.

John Wayne

How do you complain about The Duke? Let the man rest in peace you fucking cowards.

 

[Freedom Gate Co.]

How do you complain about The Duke? Let the man rest in peace you fucking cowards.

He was apparently sexist and also something abut indians or something. Of course seems kind of odd to really be attacking this guy in 2019, but that's what they did. If he was still alive he'd be the white Bill Cosby.

 

[Clear]

How do you complain about The Duke? Let the man rest in peace you fucking cowards.

I know... seriously Wayne died in 1979, and more to the point he was born in 1907. So they were wringing their hands over the views of a guy who not only died 40 years ago, but was born 112 years ago!

 

[DeepEnigma]

He was a product of its time. Only people who have no self-reflection can compare somebody of their time, to modern social cultural wars.

Since it will be them too and their current idols on the chopping block in 50 years.

 

[JORMBO]

The interview with him was racist, but it was done in 1971 and the dude died 40 years ago. It’s from a different time. I don’t know why people even brought it up. Must not have been enough things to scream about that day.

Actually most of the boards forbid CP or any realistic depiction. Although i am sure some schmucks went out of their way anyway.

Did John Wayne also rape a lot of folks?

Also a white Bill Cosby looks visually problematic now that i envision this. Help.

Stating that this person/this show/this writing was a product of its time is ofcourse not good enough as an excuse, or so the the ERAtic would say.

I don't get this. Isn't that why people argue on the internet, they want to change other people's minds? But then whenever someone has a different opinion from 5 years ago it's held against them. Fwiw I find him annoying nowadays, it's not about that.

 

[SirKicksalot]

I just want to say a big thank you to my parents for having me in Eastern Europe, a place that trained me to be able to function after five minutes on 8chan. Unfortunately, Resetera posters are dizzy and nauseous after 5 minutes there. It's a sentiment I keep seeing.

That, and idiots believing idiots who say 8chan promotes child porn and so on.
I noticed something on Resetera and old Neogaf - someone will ask something, another person will respond with an outrageous claim and the first poster is shocked and surprised and vows to fight this evil forever. Their worldview is influenced by a forum post. No proof, no facts, not even a 4chan style .jpg connecting the crazy dots - just someone telling you the wildest shit and you actually believe that. It's incredible to me. How are people able to live like that?

 

[captainraincoat]

This retroactively going back and crucifying people for shit that was done 20-30 years ago is fucking stupid

Now this i want to see

Klepek is having a spazz attack on twitter showing how "bad" 8chan is. Funny thing is that he used to be an edgelord too.

He made some BS shots back in the pre-social media timegate and just was dumb enough to never look back at them. You could obviously guess that detectives would look back at them.

But yeah, him going in twisted knickers, yeah.

I just want to say a big thank you to my parents for having me in Eastern Europe, a place that trained me to be able to function after five minutes on 8chan. Unfortunately, Resetera posters are dizzy and nauseous after 5 minutes there. It's a sentiment I keep seeing.

Coming from the NL, America's dear pet peeve, we are sadly getting this hyper cringe too.

We have our own Donald Duck magazine. And when i say own, The NL has a license to create new stories with the Duck's.

What happened yesterday is that one 10 year old girl wrote a complaint on how Duck City is not inclusive enough. Mom ofcourse wholeheartely agreed. And guess what? Duck City is getting its own diversity groups. The Dutch version has existed since 1952 and never since then has there been such a wild introduction. All because one, ONE girl (and obviously she knows what diversity and inclusivity mean, right?) complained. And its not if Donald Duck ever targeted diversity, its just an weekly mag...

This right here is everything wrong with today's society. We can't even say hello to a woman anymore, or it is #metoo. We can't even have completely neutral magazines anymore, no they must include diversity and be indicative of 2019 standards. Its literal insanity.

I noticed something on Resetera and old Neogaf - someone will ask something, another person will respond with an outrageous claim and the first poster is shocked and surprised and vows to fight this evil forever.

Because when you flock sheep together, they need someone to control the herd, full of baah and beehh. That'' The Names for you. They bring them to the promised land that is the safe space.

It's incredible to me. How are people able to live like that?

If you wait long enough, ERA will eventually blame the Jewish victims for not fighting back hard enough. Their denial of basic concepts of knowledge and common sense is outstanding.

Their reaction the 8chan thing is hilarious, its so fucking obvious that part of the outrage is that THQ would choose a site with a sketchy reputation in preference to what they think is the shining beacon of progressive wonder of the entire internet gaming community.

This is what identity politics does to your brain. It's worse than drugs.

Edit: And once again the racists can't help themselves.

Why are all White people being held accountable? Do you think Resetera would tolerate a post if someone changed "white" in that sentence to refer to another race?

Once again, you would get called a Nazi if you changed a few words, but Resetera takes pride in hating white people.

 

[JordanN]

Apologies for double posting but this is news worthy.

Resetera is banning people for voting for Presidents they don't like.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/br...-propaganda-video.101945/page-4#post-18310349

They want Trump to win again in 2020. They're calling anyone who votes for right-wing in a free democracy "fascists".
But now they're banning people too for voting right wing. Brazilians voted in their head of state fair and square but Reset is now happy to call them all fascists for playing by the rules.

2020 is next year, Resetera better have a backup plan if Trump wins again.

That we should ban all talk of Atlus as well since they wanted THQ Nordic to die. I said anyone that supports Atlus is a hypocrite. I had no intention of staying there long, so I didn't even use a VPN lol.

[pel1300]

reseters's response to rottentomatoes getting rid of "Want to see" percentage is sad and hilarious. Nearly all of them keep insisting they are bots, trolls, sexist white males and ignoring the numerous women who wrote "Not interested".

Only one poster had the sense to come in and type: "Thread title is misleading. They weren't reviews, just comments expressing whether they wanted to watch it or not" then that post was responded to with: "This is the typical nonsensical defense for this" and screencap some of the user comments which say: "No thanks, NOt ineterested" or "I don't wanna watch this crap after Brie Larson's comments. I can't wait for sjw politics to end so we can go back to real progressive politics"

They consider that proof that these are "reviews" by trolls, bots, "manbabies"

They keep attacking people saying "They are so angry" when really...resetera members are the only super angry people in this situation. Other forums I visit that aren't radically left, but more moderate, are laughing at this whole fiasco. They think it's hilarious, they aren't "angry manbabies" that era wants to believe they are.

A lot of those rottentomato comments were actually funny, humorous in nature posts like: "I respect Brie Larson's advice, so I'll sit this one out as she told me it's not made for me. Thank you for your words of wisdom, Ms Larson"

Some "These manbabies need to watch the gilette ad" posts

Oh and apparently everyone who isn't interested in this movie is "alt right" to them

Ironically most users supported Atlus in their own poll despite the socalled outrage.

Maybe they should do another one for this THQ scandal. I reckon most now would want THQ dead despite the two situations beiny fairly similar.

Which just goes to show you how NPC the site really is.

Why does EA Games and Amazon have PR relations with a known hate site?

Will both companies respond to this?

[DunDunDunpachi]

"I believe burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that white characters have been the majority."

This is such a ridiculous level of denial it's hard to believe your actually serious, but here's a study you can look at. While it doesn't cover every year it's fairly comprehensive

http://dmitriwilliams.com/VirtualCensusFinal.pdf

Your "list" of best selling games actually highlights my point so thanks for that. It's a pity you didn't bother to look at the games on that list. I don't think you'd be making claims like this " you can see that the majority of franchises do not force players to play a white male (or even a human...) character."

Well, when we look at your list we can see the exact opposite of your claim. There's COD, BF, GTA, FIFA, Need For Speed, Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil, Splinter Cell, Star Wars, Halo, Metal Gear Solid, UnCharted, Medal Of Honor, Red Dead Redemption, The Witcher, James Bond, Tony Hawks, God Of War, Rainbow 6, Bioshock, Batman, Gears Of War, Spiderman, Devil May Cry. It goes on and on.

While we're here, here's an old meme that highlights the discussion

Now, you can keep on denying the reality of the situation all you like and I'm sure you will, even in the face of studies, lists and memes that clearly show all the evidence anyone could possibly want, but I'm not going to keep going round in circles over this. Me getting banned again for criticising another crappy AAA is much more worthy of discussion. That's the 2nd time I've been banned for doing that.

Your "study" tested 133 games in total, pulled from the most popular 150 games during that time.

That doesn't demonstrate that the majority (or even a sizeable) number of videogames feature white male characters. Your tantrum in response to my plain and reasonable burden-of-proof request tells me perhaps you're accustomed to echo chambers that immediately agree with your unfounded conclusions. I apologize that I've forced you to engage your brain and prove your unfounded beliefs.

I'll simply repeat my previous question: please show proof that the majority of characters are white males (heck, I'd be satisfied if you just proved the majority of games have human avatars, let alone white male protagonists).
