Stellar Blade / Project Eve Thread - aka Stellar Ass

[God of Nothing]

I dont know what you chuds are crying about, we at Sony are totally fine with tits and sex in our games:

Getting hot in here, fellow gamer folx

how do you make sex looks so ugly?

 

[Psyduck]

how do you make sex looks so ugly?

Somehow they managed. It gets worse the more i think about it, that room *has* to stink, those two *have* to reek of sweat, blood and guts. I doubt their privates get much hygiene either...

Sex scenes in general are already off-putting, yet they somehow managed to make it even worse

It's clear they're trying to wait for things to blow over.

I also posted this in the MATI thread but if you're interested in Stellar Blade and Null:

Null's Stellar Blade MATI segment summary.

0) Pre-Stellar Blade intro: Null talks about the Stardew Valley pronoun controversy and the woke SJWs starting a petition to force the game dev to put pronouns in for all versions of the game. Null segues into the Stellar Blade anti-censorship petition started by Mark Kern (grummz), an anti-wokist.

1) Stellar Blade intro: Korean game devs make an action RPG and the main character is a digitized version of a real and attractive (possible plastic surgery) Korean woman, to own the woke SJWs. It seems like the perfect game until the day of the PS5 release, where it receives a day-1 patch censoring multiple things (Eve's costumes, gore, and environment details).

2) Which brings us to the #FreeStellerBlade petition, where Null makes fun of the physical appearances of game nerds who uploaded videos of themselves showing their support for the campaign.

I agree that these video game nerds are not Chads and a few of them weren't very eloquent in how they presented the argument. While their performances could be a lot worse, they could be better. I'm all for making fun of people's physical appearances but having said that:

1. What did Null expect video game nerds to look like? Chris Hemsworth? Timothée Chalamet? Francisco "Chico" Lachowski? Historically speaking, nerd hobbies like video games and card games and Star Wars have always been the domain of the "rejects" of society. Chads and Chad-lites have more physical hobbies like sports or gym.
2. Most of the people Null made fun of are perfectly average 5/10s. Maybe 4/10. They're perfectly normal average looking people. If he is making fun of the psygionomy of these gamers, then he is also indirectly making fun of the average Kiwi Farms user.
3. Facially speaking, they are not on the same (low) level as the Antifa mugshot crew, fat positivity advocates, or dangerhair leftists. Let's not forget Alyssa Mercante, the Kotaku game "journalist"/BPD leftist whore that's on the other side of the Steller Blade debate.
4. With all due respect, if Null made a #FreeStellerBlade support video like the other #FreeStellerBlade gamers did, he wouldn't look out of place, he'd fit right in.
5. Most importantly, while they, like I said, weren't completely eloquent, a few of them did make good points (Western game nudity and sex scene = good, Asian game showing a bit of skin = bad, etc). These points were ignored by Null, in favor of making fun of their psygionomy instead.

3) Null talks about the "bounties" (or as Grummz prefer to put it, death threats) that were placed on Grummz by various leftists. Null mocks the idea that these bounties can be considered threatening in any way.

4) Null looks at one of Eve's before/after-censorship costumes, a leotard.

Here, Null (unwittingly?) uses the standard leftist and/or feminist talking points, describing a leotard as "impossible" and "very loose fitting...the boobs would just fall out" when female MMA fighters, female gymnasts or even just normal female beachgoers wear less than that. He ends on the leotard analysis saying "the most unconfortable looking thing that could ever possibly be worn." I don't know if he truly believes this or he is just being hyperbolic.

5) Null briefly talks about the "Hard R" censorship without mentioning what replaced it: "CrimeR" - the new euphemism for Black people after "Jogger" from a few years ago. It is funny because Black people commit crime more than other races, hence Crimer.

6) Null briefly returns to the costume designs.

7) Null talks about differences in culture and values between Western and Asian game developers and audiences. Eg. The leaked Capcom memo claims that Western audiences like ugly video game characters.

Null emphasizes that even though he "didn't care about this (issue)," a bunch of Twitter/X anime avatars (and possible pedos) started violently threatening him. Null brings up the Korean MMO game Terra Online as an example of a "localization" that "probably isn't that controversial" where skimpy clothes for young females were censored outside of Korea.

1. Seeing as how Null didn't empathize with Grummz, his concerns about his safety, and giving him the benefit of the doubt that his concerns could have validity, I'm not sure why Null expects us to care about him and the so-called "violent threats" from "anime avatar pedos"?

2. I'm not sure what point he is trying to make here about Terra Online. Is he pro or anti-censorship? In this particular case, he sounds like he is pro-censorship because it agrees with his personal morals.

9) A twitter user uses an analogy, comparing Sony's censorship of Stellar Blade, to Hurricane's censorship of Kiwi Farms. Null makes the counter-argument that you can still buy Stellar Blade, and mod Steller Blade, but you can't get around Hurricane, so it's different. He further adds that Sony's "voluntary" handling of Stellar Blade is localization, not censorship.

1. To me this sounds like mental gymnastics or some kind of coping. My view is consistent: it's bad when Sony censors Stellar Blade, and it's bad when Hurricane censors Kiwi Farms. Simple as.

2. Sony's handling of Stellar Blade is BOTH localization AND censorship. It's localization in the sense that the Korean gaming audience and the Western (or "modern") gaming audience may have different tastes, preferences, values and culture. In Korea, they like their bitches skinny (just like their non-obese population), hence Eve. In the modern West where 50%+ of the population is overweight or obese, and where there is a higher proliferation of leftist progressive ideology, leading to the demonization of attractive slim female game characters. Sony, under the impression that this is their audience (which it may or may not be), implements censorship to Eve's costumes to please their supposed audience. The "Hard R/Crime R" is another example of both localization and censorship.

3. An example of something that is a localization (eg. assisting audiences to understand) but not censorship (eg. protecting the feelings of the audience), is the Shoshinsha (newbie driver) mark from Kirby Super Star: https://tcrf.net/Kirby_Super_Star As a hardline anti-censorshipper I would argue this is still censorship (by erasing Japanese culture) but for the sake of lookinag at the bigger picture, I'll just compromise let it slide.

10) Null says petitions are useless and lawsuits are the way to go.

My counter-argument is petitions are mostly useless but they are still good for publicity and getting people who care about things to feel like they are participating in something and eventually, this can lead to the lawsuit. It's not either/or. It can be both.

11) Null says Sony is only motivated by money, sales and stockholders.

1. Seeing as how the other massive billion dollar conglomerate Disney, keeps making complete shit after shit instead of making products that audiences will actually enjoy (pretty easy, just give them what they want), I don't know how true that is.
2. Null is ignoring DEI, ESG, BRIDGE or whatever fucking acronym they are using now that often conflicts with the "making money and sales" goal.

12) Null brings up the lawsuit again, in relation to false advertising. He ends the segment with making fun of a Black #FreeStellarBlade supporter and the way he talks.

1. I agree that the false advertising route is the way to go. Sony/Shift Up promised no censorship. They censored on the first day of release. They have to pay for that.
2. Null didn't mention or doesn't know about how people are getting refunds for Stellar Blade. That is also an effective method of customers voicing their complaints and hurting them in the wallet.
3. With all due respect, Null of all people, making fun of the way other people talk.

 

[blablabla]

Null Is a stupid retardo. Must be a day ending on Y

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Null Is a stupid retardo. Must be a day ending on Y

I mean to a degree I agree with him and then he sounds like a total faggot. The guys in the video are horny losers, but I can understand where they are coming from. Western games have had like a decade and a half where characters are made ugly or degenerate fetishes are allowed in the open. Baldur’s Gate is effectively a D&D game with foot fetish and body odor “jokes”.

I really no desire to purchase the game because I’m not buying a PS5 and I hate Koreans. Null’s rant about the outfits being unrealistic, however, sounded like something from a non-threatening effeminate German guy friend. The kind of guy who is happy about hate speech laws, bike lanes, and honestly will probably report people who play the game for being disrespectful to women.

 

[blablabla]

null has been simpin for that thot lauren southern for at least a month, thats exactly how he wants to sound lmao

 

[Spud]

A mutt (who spergs about 1488 and le whyte race) simping for a race and a glowmixer. Mr Bones has done it again.

 

[dustbuster]

I think this is the most egregious thing right here.
Imagine entering the cesspool that is twatter and expecting anything less than a metric fuckton of empty threats and absolute impotent rage.

Not to mention that hazing is our fucking job, the two-timing slut.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Has Null always been a faggot or is it something recently? He banned reaction scores and since then it seems like he's gone turbo-sperg

where Null makes fun of the physical appearances of game nerds who uploaded videos of themselves showing their support for the campaign.

I mean, Null looks like a gamer himself, so this is a pot calling the kettle black.

The ones fighting back against the censorship are mainly coombrained and I don't see why it's such a problem to want a sexually appealing character in a video game? What kind of faggot wouldn't want that?
I feel that the coombrained insult is just a way to handwaive away a genuine complaint while sucking corporate cock and chugging cum.

 

[dustbuster]

coombrained

They explicitly marketed the game to coomers.
It's probably the first game to be explicitly marketed that way since the early 2010's.
Saying "nuh-uh" at the last second will cause justified anger.

If they did this to the sportsball bros with fifa by fucking up the refs they'd be mad af too.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Nah, I don't watch it. I just saw the petition with the cringe videos and thought other people might laugh at it.

I wasn't calling out anyone in this thread and telling them they shouldn't be mad at what's happening, I'm just reposting autism.

Sorry. My bad.

@David Kirk Ginder already gave a summary of the podcast, but yes, Null had recently posted the same set of videos while getting basic things about the controversy wrong, so I assume you were reposting that. Sorry for the assumption.

I agree that these video game nerds are not Chads and a few of them weren't very eloquent in how they presented the argument. While their performances could be a lot worse, they could be better. I'm all for making fun of people's physical appearances but having said that:

Point 3 I think deserves to be highlighted. I got a bunch of negative stickers for saying this in the MATI thread, but even if we take @Wu-Terf Clan and Null's position that these nerds are ugly and it's fun to laugh at them, the pro censorship side is way, way, WAY worse. Moviebob is a mess right now, ResetEra is full of freaks, Toneman (who put the bounty on Grummz) is a walking soybeard wojak, and you already mentioned Alyssa Mercante. Even Digital Foundry, who have the benefit of professional camera's and lighting, don't look different from the cringe nerds posted.

I mean look at this. This is an example of the superiour specimens that are making fun of the #FreeStellerBlade autists.

Pot, kettle, black.

Has Null always been a faggot or is it something recently?

I really don't know.

There's a name for this phenomena I forget. When you read a newspaper, you assume it's all accurate, except the topics you know well, in which case they get them all wrong, then you turn the page and assume it's truthful again. That's how I've been feeling about Null recently

I feel that the coombrained insult is just a way to handwaive away a genuine complaint while sucking corporate cock and chugging cum.

Yes. It used to be "degenerate". People don't like to admit the right and the left share the same goals and tactics.

[Breadbassket]

Fan service games historically have been disliked like by the right for being degenerate and liked by the left for going against the values of the right but then at the some point in the last 15 years left-leaning people changed their views more and more on beauty standards and "objectification of women" so at this point most of them don't really care for fan-service games either. They have different journeys for how they got to their stances but the destination is the same: pretty scantily clad women in a game are an issue.

 

[Cheeseknife]

No, let's not. Because it doesn't.

No, let's because of the sane reasons I said. Because there are zero guiding principles outside "I want to coom."

pretty scantily clad women in a game are an issue.

The issue is that these women are scantily--clad for the puposes of enabling coomers who will never look for real wives because they have a supply of virtual waifus to cater to their coomer desires.

These faggots are spiritually aligned with the same cultural faggotory as those they oppose. None of the retards on Mark's petition promote anything beyond the desire for more virtual coom material. They're all lonely, socially-inept man-children whose cheif end in life is to goon.

These people are not saving the West. They are not preserving traditional norms. They are fighting tooth and nail for a virtual, fictional, female protagonist that they can coom to. They are faggots to the Nth degree. Future people will not remember them, nor care for them.

 

[blablabla]

shut the fuck up you stupid retard

 

[X Prime]

the destination is the same: pretty scantily clad women in a game are an issue.

This is not what they're doing.

The specific thing the left-wing have an issue with is not only if the woman is sexy, but if they are straight and monogamous on top of that. They have no problem with a woman being a skank.

 

[Snekposter]

I think he ate a bad casu martzu or something and got brain maggots. I cannot for the life of me imagine anything else that would convince a man to start ranting about how Americans don't have cheese, only goyslop cheddar, and then double down and keep moving the goalposts after being repeatedly called out by Amerikiwis taking photos of their grocery store deli sections.

From my understanding? Always. But this is the first time I've seen him weigh in on a subject, take the wrong side, and then get all smug about it.
