Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

So I guess at this point, China and Korea are the main ones to look at when it comes to not-woke games, as even Japan has apparently capitulated?

[I Love Beef]

The evangelical christian right has always been a bunch of sanctimonious, ideological puritans and freaks. same thing with the progressive left. they've been in a perpeptual slap fight with each other in america since the beginning of the temperance movement. control of pop culture and the zeitgeist has swung back and forth as certain ideas wax and wane in popularity. you could say they play the same role in the ecosystem of society.

banning violent video games came from the same era when they put "parental advisory" stickers on music, which was never about actually informing parents but just giving puritans the signal that they should act sanctimonius. the last straddlers of those people into the 2000's like Jack Thompson kept up the same act even though the political capital was gone. despite the real threat being gone, rockstar did specifically pay newspapers to run stories about the game's controversy, but it was just PR stunts by their PR team.

it's been a manufactured problem since like 1995 so anyone trying to counter-signal banning violent games are usually just as sanctimonious and hysterical. if it's coming back into style it's probably just the same woke moralists that make money on controversy trying to find new wounds to poke

for fuck's sake

I fucking leave the fucking farms and we end up with fucking autistic slapfights without anyone who studies or knows this shit

EVERYONE at the time fucking sucked. While yes, the fundamentalists were going crazy, they spent their crazy during the 1980s with the rise of metal music and slow burned into the 1990s thinking the apocalypse and Second Coming of Jesus was coming in 1999, the leftoids were just as bad if not worse, because they were being paid by Hollywood to shit and slander on any new alternative media like video games in order to keep their bottom line because all of the youth was getting tired of shit like Milli Vanilli and experienced the brunt end of why the 1980s could also be pretty fucking lame. All of this combined with past efforts of censorship and morality in media and corporate fat headed greed explains why American media by the late 1990s fucking ate shit if it was anything "classic" than new and trendy.

No one outside of anyone with legitimate want to make good video games or other kinds of entertainment ever did anything good for the audience at the time. The fundies had those cheese and lame as hell puppet shows and shows like the Buttercream Gang, but the liberaloids shitting out Godzilla 1998 and Suddenly Susan weren't so good either.

Also, Japan going retard for DEI shit, I cannot say I am surprised. I honestly blame them thinking to censor all boobs and tits and ass thinking their population problem is simply because of video games than them aggressively trying to circumvent tariffs and trade restrictions from the Bubble Boom of the 1980s and to realize how good they have (or had it) it otherwise. It's 80 years since V-Day, there are plenty of things the USA can get its shit kicked in for that's not A-Okay, fuck it, fire away. But I digress. Japan needs a hard lesson that not everything a nation does is good and shouldn't be adopted, and I don't mind them learning this again.

edit: Also, Japan seriously needs to toss out gaijin fuckers eager to get a foot into their industries and "help them", those people fucking suck because they are pozzed shitheels and are fuckhead loser weeaboos who couldn't make it even back at home, but what do I know. 諸ぐない。

It's all down to FinkRock, Vanguard et al and their financial incentives - they're the ones exporting Western Cultural Marxism abroad, peddling it to any company desperate or foolish enough to bite.

So long as they have money to burn, the FInk and his cronies will find a crack through which to slither in regardless of country.

This will not stop until Americans do something to make it stop.

EDIT: I don't want the above to be interpreted as a dig against Americans, just a constatation that BlackRock and their ilk are in the US, are preying on Americans to fund their political agenda, and the rest of the world is pretty much powerless to put a stop to it.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Last time I mentioned Spice Girls in a thread it was derailed for a few pages talking about them. At least leftie entertainment produced some good stuff, it also produced a bunch a crap. A better example might be Burger King Kids Club or Ghostbusters Extreme. The latter you could fool people into thinking it's current year DEI slop.

I honestly blame them thinking to censor all boobs and tits and ass thinking their population problem is simply because of video games

No, @regalterry has it right. Sony moving their HQ to California and implementing "global standards". With Nintendo it's treehouse and NoA who keeps fucking up translations, but Japan asks NoA and Treehouse why baka gaijin is upset.

Part of the reason for wokeshit in Japan is because western companies keep fucking up and Japan is providing the goods. Fucking via localisation didn't work, soft banning didn't work, western media pretending to be Japanese didn't work, and it's because weebs will import from the source if they have to, so they want to make it so "problematic" alturnitives can't exist.

What screws Japan's birthrates is not boobs but overwork. How can you ask your people to find a spouse and raise a family when they are too tired to stand on public transport? How can they take time off work when that is punished? How can they fuck at night when that is when they have to go to the restaurant so they can treat their sleazy boss like he is the Shogun? And they do nothing about it! Everytime something is done, someone must have killed himself in order to have the company bosses be dragged through the mud. And they still turn a blind eye until the next suicide. And the cycle continues. Japan is willing to do ANYTHING to change their fate apart from the the things that would ACTUALLY WORK! ANYTHING but admit the systemic problems and fixing them! They will accept the woke, they will bring in shitty migrants but GOD FORBID YOU ASK THEM TO WORK LESS IN ORDER TO BE BETTER RESTED AND DO THEIR JOB BETTER OR RAISE THEIR FAMILIES!

Just wait until it is clear to even Japan that getting FinkRock money leads to death. It is what I call "Cocaine Economics/Overdrive"! Huge boost now, terrible crash later! When they all know that they will lose all their fans and money should they accept wokebucks, they will start turning them down.

No, @regalterry has it right. Sony moving their HQ to California and implementing "global standards". With Nintendo it's treehouse and NoA who keeps fucking up translations, but Japan asks NoA and Treehouse why baka gaijin is upset.

The grift will last as long as Nintendo HQ does not have a non-woke guy to ask about it. When the do, they will demand changes from the Treehouse and NoA. Of course, being idiots, they will try to fool the bosses and get fired. The "THEY ARE JUST A VOCAL MINORITY!" will not work as well when an obviously woke Nintendo game flops.

Distressingly true on its current-year bonafides; that show is basically only remembered thanks to Kylie gooners, much like many modern games.

Problem with that line of thinking is that Fink and his ilk aren't stupid, they know whom they are pandering to.

Your average MBA vermin doesn't care about the long-term profitability of a company, he's there to make those quarterly reports look good, get his fat paycheck + bonus and then peace out before the whole house of cards starts crumbling down and fingers get pointed.

They all know that their next cushy position is guaranteed as long as they show the necessary level of woke piety.

Granted, some Japanese companies like Nintendo are different and put long-term sustainability first, but as we can see with Sony or Capcom, many are not above rushing headfirst into a wall. There's also the cultural aspect to take into account, many Japanese companies view the Japanese market as their priority, and the rest of the world as a distant, secondary concern, or just think that the Marxist lunatics are the ones calling the shots (which isn't really that far from the truth).

Then there's the simple fact that Japan is also susceptible to the social contagion of leftism, and many people have already been corrupted by Western Marxist ideology and push the agenda in their communities and workplaces.

I imagine Japan is in for a rough decade and will see much of their entertainment industry as gutted and devastated as the Western one has been. Whether they'll ever recover with Korea and China so aggressively pushing their what used to be their traditional markets remains to be seen.

 

[Judge Dredd]

The "THEY ARE JUST A VOCAL MINORITY!" will not work as well when an obviously woke Nintendo game flops.

Nintendo, more so than other companies, will be able to stick out being woke for a long time simply because there is a subset of fans who will buy shit with sugar on provided it has a NES era legacy character on it. As Star Wars proved, that can only carry you so far. The difference is Star Wars can't just re-release the original trilogy every few years and rake in millions.

What screws Japan's birthrates is not boobs but overwork.

That's a long and complex subject. There's a thread about it. Basically plummeting birthrates are not limited to Japan.


One thing about translators I've not mentioned. After Zoe Quinn crowd funded the Chuck Tingle game and then ran off with the money. She posted a photo of her in Japan with someone. There's been cases of pockets of white western hipster dickheads who hate Japan working in translation and living in Japan. I say this because once the SBI grift is too poisoned to continue, I won't be at all surprised if they use their connections to move to Japan and start consulting there under the guise of "global standards".

im not sure how my post has made like three people respond with indignant walls of text that just rewrite exactly what i said with more words but i think it might be because your personal experience of being alive in the 80's is kind of irrelevant to how other people look back on history. that seems to be a primordial wound for boomers and millenials

A lot will go down. But there will be survivors that will point to the companies that went down following the woke bucks and ask the bosses to step down. If the Assassin's Creed situation is anything to go by, the people of Japan will react to woke.

Granted, some Japanese companies like Nintendo are different and put long-term sustainability first, but as we can see with Sony or Capcom, many are not above rushing headfirst into a wall. There's also the cultural aspect to take into account, many Japanese companies view the Japanese market as their priority, and the rest of the world as a distant, secondary concern, or just think that the Marxist lunatics are the ones calling the shots (which isn't really that far from the truth).

Now that Trump was elected with a majority vote, woke games, movies and shows having failed and normies becoming aware that the woke try to manipulate them, the American Marxists will be having a harder time persuading Asia that the West wants the far left.

Then there's the simple fact that Japan is also susceptible to the social contagion of leftism, and many people have already been corrupted by Western Marxist ideology and push the agenda in their communities and workplaces.

Which is why we must wave the heads of big woke companies in front the others so that they fall in line. Contagion can be fought against.

I imagine Japan is in for a rough decade and will see much of their entertainment industry as gutted and devastated as the Western one has been. Whether they'll ever recover with Korea and China so aggressively pushing their what used to be their traditional markets remains to be seen.

We must push to so Japan that people do not want want woke entertainment so that they realise that the woke bucks are the kiss of death.

Nintendo, more so than other companies, will be able to stick out being woke for a long time simply because there is a subset of fans who will buy shit with sugar on provided it has a NES era legacy character on it. As Star Wars proved, that can only carry you so far. The difference is Star Wars can't just re-release the original trilogy every few years and rake in millions.

Nintendo has the advantage that they will not allow designs that does not pass minimum appeal factor. Chances are you will not see anything to the level of Concord or Dustborn darken their games unless it is meant to repulse. That makes it harder to make memes out of them.

That's a long and complex subject. There's a thread about it. Basically plummeting birthrates are not limited to Japan.

Did not say it was limited to Japan. But the main cause of the plummeting birthrates in Japan specifically is that people do not have time and energy to have families, imo.

One thing about translators I've not mentioned. After Zoe Quinn crowd funded the Chuck Tingle game and then ran off with the money. She posted a photo of her in Japan with someone.

I say this because once the SBI grift is too poisoned to continue, I won't be at all surprised if they use their connections to move to Japan and start consulting there under the guise of "global standards".

Which is why we must push for swifter destruction of the "global standards". Make is so that such terms are poisoned.

It's because of how you wrote it; it came off as you blaming the fundies due to not enough clarification.

When a writer uses the word puritan people make the categorical error that the writer is referring exclusively to Christian fundies, for example.

because that was the whole point of the post. i specifically pointed out that the behavior of tipper gore's liberal arts crusaders is functionally indistinguishable from fundamentalist puritanical christians and its exceptionally ironic that the most common response to it is people assuming i'm talking about christians despite every single thing in that post being a specifically articulated criticism of milquetoast liberals

Hey I get it; someone on the forums once thought in a similar discussion that Joe Lieberman was a Christian.

 

[I Love Beef]

ah. I'll give some context. That is very true and a big chunk of the gist of it, what Japan is facing right now. (time lapse) Wow, what the fucking fuck, I honestly think there's an information purge going on about how Japan literally did ban or made more Z rating criteria sexual video game character designs. That was my point, really. Sakurai Masashiko (smash brothers founder man, love or hate him) had some choice words to say about this and promptly quit after Ultimate. It ties into this:

What screws Japan's birthrates is not boobs but overwork. How can you ask your people to find a spouse and raise a family when they are too tired to stand on public transport? How can they take time off work when that is punished? How can they fuck at night when that is when they have to go to the restaurant so they can treat their sleazy boss like he is the Shogun? And they do nothing about it! Everytime something is done, someone must have killed himself in order to have the company bosses be dragged through the mud. And they still turn a blind eye until the next suicide. And the cycle continues. Japan is willing to do ANYTHING to change their fate apart from the the things that would ACTUALLY WORK! ANYTHING but admit the systemic problems and fixing them! They will accept the woke, they will bring in shitty migrants but GOD FORBID YOU ASK THEM TO WORK LESS IN ORDER TO BE BETTER RESTED AND DO THEIR JOB BETTER OR RAISE THEIR FAMILIES!

The pathetic chase after the lost decades and the bubble crash of 1991. Japan has to realize the time to do that has long passed. It used to be viable when your economy and industries used to have major global influence due to quality of output and dependence on that quality when not fucked over by trade impositions. Now it's only making their kids not want to have more kids and societal pressures are stupidly worse because of not challenging these trade impositions. Fuck's sake, have some balls and go and tell Canada they are a bunch of smug ass huffing hypocrites living in a part of the world where God has forsaken and force the US to supply raw materials for electronics shit again by calling out their bullshit, it's not hard. No one will give a fuck about pussy and ass and tits in video games or the japanese cartoons when everyone's not pressured to be squeezed of "their best" when there is no pressure.

Also, I'm in with Japan, rough or soft, thick or thin. China and Korea are prone to tyranny, and blatantly, at that. As much as Japan has subtlety and duplicity, and if they go fucking wild they go to the literal extreme, they know how to vent that shit out. China and Korea will fucking order death squads to act if they so much call for reform. I personally would not ever band with Chinese or Korean sympathies unless they were those who did not join with the politics and the societal horseshit. Nippon Banzai, whatever.

Interestingly enough just a couple of days ago, the Tokyo government has proclaimed they're switching to an optional 4 day work week with some partial time off for child care and stuff. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/bu...roduce-four-day-workweek-employees-rcna183442

The problem though is that it's optional and I can see a lot of dumbass boomer managers getting pissed off at employees for taking the benefits, even if the intent is to set an example that things can work without people working 10+ hours a day 6 days a week. It's obviously funny to blame hentai and all of the other degenerate shit, but it's obvious what the real problem is. Hell, the lack of time to fuck might actually be a reason for some of the degen bullshit. No time for a relationship, but enough time to just crank one out.

Part of me assumes that Japan's work culture is incompatible with modernity. Back in the day, people worked until it got dark and then they went home because work was basically impossible during the night. They had the excuse to go and rest. With the advent of electricity however, work can be done regardless if it is day or night so people work all day and all night so as to not appear lazy. That is unsustainable.

As I said, they are willing to do anything BUT the things that would actually work.

It is much easier to find wank material than it is to find a spouse and raise a family when time and energy is so limited.

Honestly, as an American, there should be more digs at America, and the "do better, you fucking slackers" and "these kinds of people are dragging you down, I don't know why the fuck you keep them around, seriously fuck them" way. I can correlate that the less of that I see being practiced as to our constitutional right to express ourselves and within freedom of speech, the more deranged and oppressed society is becoming. A society that can't correct itself or be critical upon itself isn't a healthy one. I only see "drowning in my skin my wounds will not heal dystopian america" or "it's just all nuclear fucking wasteland and economic depression by disparate politics and policies it's still good it's still good" garbage.

I love how many of these dipshit pozzed baizuo progfakers are just bitter and repressed slackers and hipster losers who can't make it back at home, so they go to Japan because "they love the anime and video games" but when reality hits they think they have to "tidy up Japan" when they never bothered to clean their own spaces or tried to make things better at home. I also love how Akira is some of their favorite anime/manga, where the ending is literally Tetsuo demanding the United Nations to get the fuck out and leave the food rations and to never act unless they consul with him as representative of Japan or else. It's funny how they missed that part of the story.

With the advent of electricity however, work can be done regardless if it is day or night so people work all day and all night so as to not appear lazy. That is unsustainable.

It's more complicated than that. An American economist by the name of William Edwards Deming helped to bring the economic and industry theories and teachings that would become the backbone of Japan's modern industries into the 1970s. Before the 1960s, Made In Japan was not entirely synonymous with quality, at least in electronics and tech, until he came along. Even when electricity was introduced into public infrastructure, people still went back home and rested when nightfall came. It was postwar economic efforts that lead into Japan's Bubble Economy into the 1990s, and that was what got Japan to form its corporate salaryman work culture. I will admit too, it was barely 100 years since Japan was pulled out of its isolation period from the rest of the world, and that was at the cusp of the 20th Century. I think that's what you're looking for. You're not going to undo centuries of competitive warrior culture and obedient caste culture ingrained in genetic and societal behaviors in a period of less than 100 years. You can curb it, but that can only happen for so long. Also, Japan isn't a country that can sustain itself on industrial output alone, they are entirely dependent on other nations when they do and that all goes kaput if said nation decides no more or goes to war. Being ignorant of that is also what's killing them.

Japan needs to be more open to criticism as a whole. It is defamatory if you speak bad about someone even if it is provably true.

Japan has this "Work harder, not smarter" mentality to everything they do where they will take the path that makes them LOOK like they are working well rather than a more effective and less tiring path. Sad really as they can be brilliant.

 

[I Love Beef]

On the contrary, I think Japan needs to show it has teeth a bit more. Being open to criticism is how they got into this mess. When I openly shit on loser nerds who have yellow fever or are desperate to go to Japan hoping to make it like William Adams, all while hoping to "civilize the locals", there's some (actually a lot) of truth to that. That's what people like Zoe Quinn are, honestly. As much as I have nostalgia for my high school days when video games and anime was high on the rise, not every nerd or fan had best interests in mind. American/Western nerd mentality had (and still has) the unfortunate circumstance of being intertwined with entitlement as spectators, while still hoping to "please and be accepted by society". Fun fact: those shitheels will never accept you nor respect you, quit sucking up to those fuckers. If they do that to you, I'm sure they do that to other people too.

It's why they think "Japan needs to tone down the fanservice"; not because of morality in media nagging, but because of entirely egotistical and entitled reasons while they continue to try to please contradicting and immature ideals that are entirely unrealistic, like thinking that Hollywood and mainstream media will only accept anime and video games if it becomes a homogenized shitty whitewashed version of it. These people are not emotionally nor socially mature and they haven't regurgitated the bullshit they ate while growing up. These are literal manchildren displaying pouty behavior like if a kid doesn't want to eat his damn vegetables, only with entertainment and using news and marketing platforms to get things their way. It's funny but also frankly fucking annoying and pathetic. It's why we say "Learn to code/draw/write faggots". Sadly, they are tools to entities like Blackrock and they're that convinced they're the "superior future".

But the main cause of the plummeting birthrates in Japan specifically is that people do not have time and energy to have families, imo.

not limited to japan either. how many jobs does the average burger have to work now to get by? and where do you want to raise your familiy, because owning a house is a hilarious pipedream.

Whilst we think we've had some sort of victory against corporate, these guys are probably in board meetings right now discussing how they can get DEI in their games without causing a public uproar. Literally a frog boiled slowly situation.

those same people are also notoriously out of the loop. if they had everything figured out we wouldn't even be talking about it. a large part of this also only works in a "good times" society, where money flows freely, fucking up doesn't really matter and people are happy with bread and circuses - the moment things get tough, or the moneytrain stops, the cracks will inevitably appear. like getting an orange dude elected. and if that isn't possible due to TPTB actively fucking with the system like in europe, all it will lead to a more volatile reaction if there's no other pressure release. in that regards progtards are their own worst enemy and always will be.
