This seems insane to me. Propaganda is never this subtle, and seems to be an insanely long game to play, especially since many of said 90s properties are/were "based". eg. If Tomb Raider was created with the intention of pushing propaganda, why does it have to be censored so heavily in the modern day? Why didn't Nintendo jump on the bandwagon when people were trying to say Samus was trans, etc.

If you haven't been paying attention, this stuff has been simmering since the 70s when the Weather Underground hid in the institutions of education. Maybe we can be more charitable and instead of calling it propaganda, it was just people being optimistic and believing that indeed the noble savage is always better than us, that yes, any girls can do what any boy can if she puts her all into it and that Jamal beating the fuck out of you doesn't mean that you can't have inoffensive Urkel or cool Will as a friend eventually.

The destruction of our concept of noticing patterns has been eroded for a very long time and for the most part, it has been done very gradually. It's just the last 10 years when shit got really insane and they hit the pedal to the fucking metal. It all goes back to fucking Trump that broke everyone's brain or derailed something or what have you. Anyway, you were being boiled, the thing, it was being done properly, so you never noticed and stuff was nowhere as shitty so dissonance would hit. Race relations were indeed much better than now in that decade, gross trannies did not exist in the real world to destroy the whole "girls and boys are equal!" thing and we didn't have hordes of mongrel immigrants to make us notice that no, maybe those savages ain't so noble. That or we all just wanted to believe in all the nice ideas and didn't want to notice, very realistic scenario when you live in a bubble.

I always have to tell this tale. A buddy of mine actually thought GI Jane was real, since it was based on real events. He thought women could pass Navy Seal training at it's prime and I had to make him aware that no, a woman us pretty much unable to pass any of those standards and if she could, odds are it ain't a women (and I don't mean tranny in this context). Well, I thought the exact same thing as my buddy till I started "noticing" things.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Except it wasn't.

There were all kinds of attempts to propagandize back then and none of it was subtle. Just look at the environmental movement. From Captain Planet and Earth Warp all the way to Inconvenient Truth, that stuff was always cringe, and people mocked it and turned away from it.

Yea they turned away from it so hard that it merely 100% won and controls everything now

 

[Terror Sandwich]

This woman is fucking embarrassing. She needs a thread, stat. Probably in the Internet Tough Guy subforum since she tries to bluster like one.

The "hot married couple" she's talking about are two other Kotaku writers, Ash Parrish and Gita Jackson.

This "hot married couple" shit reminded me of this meme:

These sort of degenerates are always the grossest fucking people.

 

[blablabla]

BG3 is smeared as woke to stop the proper gamers from buying it, in an attempt to stop people from buying a single-player game. Don't fall for the propaganda and become an anti-npc-npc.

BG3 is full of dykes, faggots and trannies. Stop defending this shit because you liked the game. Faggot.

I found a recent publicity photo of a Kotaku editorial meeting.

Has Nintendo done any of this Sweet Baby/BRIDGE stuff? I didn't hear about it.

They just released a whole heap of shit around the same time Microsoft did. Almost like it was coordinated.

Kys, Faggot. Crying over a game that gives you a choice to kill dykes faggots and trannies. Give me the genocide simulator all day long.

If postal 5 allowed you to go to a pride parade and murder everyone, would it be woke because it has faggots in it? No. Focus on the fags all you want, homo, i'll laugh while killing faggots in BG3.

 

[blablabla]

you are a homo

 

[FedPostalService]

you are a homo

Maybe the real homosexuality was the friends we made along the way?

That's it. I officially now have personal beef with this chick. Up until this point she was just another cow in this debacle, but this kind of shit really rubs me the wrong way on a personal level.
This is idea that the only way to "own" your sexuality is by being a whore, or overtly sexual, is repulsive. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the rumors of Mercante being a failed OnlyFans creator are true if this is her ideology.

 

[DumbDude43]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the rumors of Mercante being a failed OnlyFans creator are true if this is her ideology.

rumors? didn't she openly admit to (and brag about) having been a camgirl?
pretty sure that was in one of her tweets posted in this thread somewhere

about the quote, i get the distinction: one is a woman who actively enjoys being hot for fun, the other is simply a girl going on an adventure who also happens to be hot.
but i don't understand what the problem is?

Bayonetta makes her wet, Eve doesn't.

 

[SIMIΔN]

BG3's characters all feel like the kind of awful characters you'd find playing D&D at home/in a comic shop - the mage who had sex with a god and kind of got bored with it, a sad sparkly vampire, the angry but sensitive barbarian, the warlock who didn't really read the contract all that well, the cleric who worships an evil god (and was tricked!), and so on.

The fighter is basically a space alien from space North Korea too.
The only relatively normal character is the PC, and that's only when you pick custom and not "child of the murder god"

portrayal of deviants and degenerates as normal and acceptable

The people I take issue with are those that say it's woke AND buy it anyway.

I would still be 'wholesoming' it up on reddit if I didn't get banned for calling transgenderism a mass sterilising of autistics.
There's nothing wrong with gay couples, as long as they aren't portrayed as morally superior to the boring straights due to their sexuality.
They have gay villains and antiheros in the game, and the major villain who disapproved of his child's gay relationship did it because it was between a mortal and a immortal demigod and had huge lifespan and power-difference issues.

The first example is the idea that refugees should be allowed in the grove and that khaga is an evil bigot because she wants them to leave.

She sees them as attracting more danger to the grove, and they do attract more danger to the grove.

They even cast a troon eceleb for extra DEI points.

It was a very difficult to find cameo, and he played an active member of a torture nihilism cult. The other non-cis character is a performer at a freakshow (and isn't defined by their identity, and actually fits well)

Have to ask, how much of the faggotry was WotC and how much was Larian? Basically, I expect that the breaking of the deal is a lot more related to licensing fees and contracts than "being forced by WotC to fag the game up", Larian seemed pretty happy to do that themselves.

The 'bear scene' was just gamer humour, making the bear a full character was due to listening to the wrong kind of fan feedback.
Actors and programmers tend to be relatively socially liberal anyway.
What was probably WotC meddling was making Aylin into a woman, as early files suggest it was a man instead. The troon cameo might be their fault as well.

Additional context doesn't make it better. She's talking about how "hot" the characters in Hades 2 are, and it really really seems like she's pushing this "You have to actively participate in your sexualization." message that I see from other sex workers.

Put another way, the "problem" is that Lara is "existing while hot" without "owning" her sexuality. Mercante and Issy Van Der Weld's argument is that Lara is a victim of the male gaze and the "correct" move is to instead "own" her sexuality to reclaim that power from the men.

It's disgusting. Imagine being a teenage girl and being sold this shit.


Issy is a dude, by the way, and he looks exactly like you'd image a man selling "sex work is empowering" would look.

Every time I see a face like Izzy's I will always demand their hard drives be scanned

 

[X Prime]

I am deeply confused. I thought one of the most common fantasies was the "girl next door" type that is attractive but down to earth.

Either I am crazy or they are .

 

[CircuSphere]

I played Hades, I really enjoyed it (I recommended it like 100 pages back) but Mer-cunt-e is going to drive me to skip the sequel. It's clear they hired some SBI equivalent (or are deep in the GDC clique) and the studio already had soy leanings.

I'll take that $40 and put it toward KC:2.

Oh, that's true, but they hate that. Honestly, though, it's pretty obvious that Hades 2 was made by friends of theirs. Not only is it obnoxiously woke, but they wouldn't be shilling it this hard otherwise.

Imagine writing a ream of this absolutely retarded jibber-jabber and acting like it means anything. It's like he ate a plate of Foucault and vomited it back up.
