>My guess is that there is a level of nuance that is missed when viewed through a modern lens, especially as English speakers.

I don't know what else it could be. Was she an actual (biological) female mistaken for male at birth? Did she somehow changed biological sex at some point in her life? Was she too tomboyish that she was called a male by her peers? I never played the game. I only know about it through DYKGaming.

A lot of people think that Japanese media has always been socially conservative, but when you really look at it, they were including subtle LGBT themes before the west embraced it. Most of it was just removed during localization. Phantasy Star II had a piano teacher that was heavily implied to be gay, but his dialogue was butchered in the NA release. One of the DS Harvest Moon games had same-sex marriage in the Japanese version. Phoenix Wright apparently had some gay chef whose lines were altered in international releases.

Maybe it could just be that the Japanese being somewhat more open to sexual themes in otherwise family-friendly content meant that they could sneak in some (implied) LGBT characters in their media.

>I bet if the remake came out two years from now that would have been scrapped due to how the social climate is shifting. Or maybe not... I'm willing to bet that the ttyd superfans either fully support that shit or at the very least are fine with it.

I think it would still be the same result if it was released two years later. This IS the type of game that attracts the autistic, trans/enby, terminally online types. I've been told that the Mario RPG games attract A LOT of trannies, which should be obvious because they are clearly the most autistic RPGs you'll ever come across.

And I don't think transgenderism will go back to being underground anytime soon. Trump promising to ban HRT and SRS for minors and AOC removing pronouns from her bio (implying that Democrats are throwing trannies under the bus) means jack shit. We don't know what is actually going to happen. If anything, I see states attempting to nullify any laws being passed kind of like how many states nullify federal raw milk bans. Illinois is already planning to do that.

@beardalaxy I wonder if the original devs knew what transgender even is when designing the original character.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Paper Mario fans are even worse than Earthbound/Mother fans.

@beardalaxy Isn't the whole modern agenda thing just Vivan being trans, which was already present in the Japanese version of the original game?

I will never get over the fact that people (including grown men) literally cried over this trailer for a remake of a game that they can already play.

Our ancestors thrived without fiat systems. Our descendants will view this artificial era as a dark age of manufactured limitation.

I found an interactive map where you can find restaurants that still use beef tallow instead of seed oils in their fryers.

Of course, you can't self-host it. But this article is interesting because it provides a honest description of their stack written by someone who appears to be a true believer.

>Do you happen to have the PDF for "Nobody Died at Sandyhook"? It's been removed from the archive.
I do not. I wasn't even aware that, and I never read that.

I've heard rumors about The Internet Archive censoring things, but I don't know the full extent of their policies. These recordings are just Adam Lanza's philosophical rants on culture and conformity. He never said anything about wanting to kill anyone else but himself. They're just philosophical ramblings on anarcho-primitivism, anti-culture, and anti-natalism.

@PurpCat The Sandy Hook families (assuming the event was real and organic) need to listen to Adam Lanza's philosophical rants from his (now deleted) YT account.

The leftist-satirical rag The Onion announced on Thursday that it had won a bankruptcy auction to acquire Infowars - the website founded and operated by Alex Jones since 1999.

@blaaablaaaa @Bad_Banner It took me awhile to realize that this is a political compass meme.

Many of the usual climate grifters have skipped the event as de-growth 'green' policies in the US are being prepared to be rolled back to some degree under a Trump presidency.
