If this thing was "on steam", I would buy it without hesetation...

Shame... :omegalul:

I cannot believe I have to skip a Dunkey video, but I know he will spoil half of the game to me.

I’m not even totally opposed to the message, some of that advertising was way, WAY more cringe than it was enjoyable. I particularly dislike the modern trend of ugly brown women being shoved down our throats.

BUT these guys snap me out of that with their faggy “uh actually women can be SUPER badass and do anything men can - “

Shut up you boomernig, women aren’t ‘kickass’, praising them when they do a mediocre imitation of a man dishonors true excellence in womanhood. I really hate this shit, because men like this program their daughters to play dress-up and imitate the douchebag jocks from media as if that’s what a strong woman is.

Strength in womanhood is maternal, it’s unyielding in her efforts to protect and nurture her family. It’s NOTHING like this shit about how girls can shoot 3-gun just as good as the boys can, to even hint they’re similar in value is revolting to me.

I had an interesting conversation with Sis about Lovecraftian horror 

More importantly, about why it fails so monumentally in modern movies. And, after a while, we have reached the conclusion, that the element of it being beyond your understanding is completely undermined if you know the hero is safe.

While in normal capeshit, even if you know the hero is going to win, you can imagine scenarios of how its going to happen. You can feel every hit he recieves or gives. There is a story there.

But, if the enemy beyond your comprehension, then story turns to "hero did ....something???? and won :comfyshrug: " So, there is literally no substance left for you to enjoy.

E;R's latest Whorra video and his comments about Tenzin reminds me of how modern Western writing, with its girl power Mary Sues, completely screws over traditional Mentor characters. Obviously a Fucking White Male has nothing to really teach a Strong Independent Woman, so instead of taking up what *should* be his role, the would-be-mentor character instead ends up portrayed as an out-of-touch loser, or a bitter, broken failure of a man, who of course has to be saved by the Mary Sue.

Contrast this with Shulk and Rex in Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed, who actually ARE allowed to become the leaders and mentors you'd reasonably expect them to be. Not perfect or all-knowing, but still genuine great and good men possessing lots of special knowledge, who the younger characters learn a lot from.
