I'm glad my pp is too smol for cockroaches to live in. 🙏

@beardalaxy True! And I listened to Linkin Park before I got into the others. It definitely can be seen as Nu Metal imo. It kinda eased me into the heavier stuff. The Nu Metal era was a wild ride I'll never forget. 🥹

@beardalaxy I still listen to Korn daily. Their stuff has always been good and continues to be good, in my opinion. I would say Korn has aged the best out of those late 90s Nu Metal bands. They're also the only one I still actually listen to. I'll go back and listen to og Slipknot and up to The Subliminal Verses but I don't like it much after that.

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator @MAGO5 You know, there are very few things that get me mad on the Internet, I would say. And this is just one of those things. I had been having a peaceful life after the Bridget incident because I really turned ugly during it and I want to avoid getting like that again. I had to let it go and the character is dead to me now. At least with Vivian, he hasn't gotten retconned in the JP version due to the developers taking an ESG bribe, which was the case of Bridget.

We really don't have many otokonoko characters in video games. They are mostly present in anime. The hilarious yet sad thing is that I WAS going to pick up the game when I was told Vivian was restored to male. I had been soured since years ago when I knew about how he has changed in the West. Of course, now I won't even pirate this garbage knowing the end result. Ironically, the butchered 2006 version is better to me (though still a travesty). I didn't like Bridget's grooming retcon story in the newest game and I sure as hell don't like Vivian's tranny dialogue rewritten by an asylum patient who got hired at Nintendo. I hate what these characters represent and it's a shame for them to come back just to be warped bt the current climate's disease.

But I'm sure Nintendo will *totally* get that money from the asylum patients on Twitter who seal clap whenever a character is butchered in this manner and who never leave their house and much less play any video games.

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator I was told by someone that Vivian would be "fixed" in the Paper Mario re-release but all they did was fuck him up AGAIN. Nintendo has a history of "conveniently" altering the sex of effeminate male characters when they release games in the West. Sahara and Gracie from Animal Crossing are originally male in the JP version but changed to be flat out female in the Western releases. Sahara was apparently an "oversight" but I call bullshit since they did it twice and originally, they did this to Vivian as well. Now they still can't get it right, as he was portrayed as male in the localization for the re-release but they inserted that faggotry into the game for the "usual" reasons.

There is a lot of bigotry against effeminate characters/otokonoko in video games when they make their way overseas.

Ultimately, I knew of Vivian's butchering from the original release but I never played the game and I'm even less interested after this, it's why I have these not so good screenshots of some random faggot on Twitter who just happened to have screens of the original "otokonoko" dialog. It's 2024 and this forced trans faggotry continues because they are too cowards to have otokonoko in games. It's like the "safe gay" with inserting lesbians into everything but you never see two dudes buttfucking each other in Western media. Trans is just the new "safe".

@Mr_NutterButter It was the worst commission situation I dealt with by far for sure! He kept making promises about progress on certain days. Those days would come and go and no progress and he kept ghosting me. One day after weeks of more failed promises, he hands over the drawing that literally only needed shading at that point. It was like 10% shaded. It was ALMOST done and I couldn't find anyone to shade that shit and understandably so; can't just replicate another person's shading. And you're correct, he could have gotten it done in a few hours but he was always living on Twitter and spending hours on there, which I could clearly see. I called him out on that too after he got agitated about the refund from the unfinished piece.

The dude is extremely talented, hell because I still can't find ANYONE to be able to draw my OC's weapon like he did (myself included lmao), but has a lot of skeletons in the closet and it's a shame. Drawing weapon and having an appealing anime style seems to clash a bit with Western based artists. Despite wanting to take money for unfinished work, I hope he recovers.

@Mr_NutterButter Also for extra clarification, he was the one to offer me the refund but he became agitated when I wanted a full refund for an unfinished piece of art I couldn't use. His whole schtick to get out of his screw ups is to bring personal problems into the equation and I wasn't having it anymore. He thought he could continue to take advantage of my patience and good will.
