A better analogy would be that they're shaming someone for the color of shirt that they're wearing.

I'd say shaming someone for a form of expression that has zero influence on literally anything is a lot more selfish.

it would be, if i said he wasn't allowed to get a tattoo

and a tattoo can obviously have influence on things

you can't get a job in some places if your tattoo is too flamboyant

"That's going to look bad when you're older"

I'm going to look bad when I'm older.

yeah, and you'll look even worse with that dumbass tattoo

you're amplifying it

Verbatim doesn't know anything

opposite day is next week

which is why he said you don't know anything today

so he just likes being wrong, or what?

was that supposed to be clever because mine was way cleverer

There was an IV checker in X/Y right? Is there one in ORAS?

The Pokémon Center of the Battle Resort has an Ace Trainer. He's your guy.

also, this thread just shows that you have no concept of what "the rest of your life" really means

There's no way to say this without sounding really pompous, but I don't generally have too much trouble fighting any kind of enemy, because once you figure out their pattern, they immediately become easy.

The medusa heads from Castlevania are often considered one of the worst enemies ever, but they couldn't be designed any fairer, to be honest. They bounce and undulate around in a very predictable and easy to identify pattern, and any failure to pass them up is your own fault.

So, I guess it would be any enemy that doesn't have a pattern, or behaves randomly. I can't really think of a good example, though.

I might put a Primal Groudon in there

that's the path to the dark side

but you literally may not have any other options lol

I watched some of the World Championships that took place a few days ago and it was incredibly disappointing to see how little variety there was in teams.

yeah, things would be so much better if they just adopted smogon rules

Everyone knows all the best Fight Club quotes, but here's an underrated one:
"WOAH. WOAH. Okay. You are now FIRING A GUN at your imaginary friend... near 400 GALLONS OF NITROGLYCERIN."

Who are the latter? The bulk of his video discusses how games have moved away from sexist tropes; sure, he says there are people that criticize games like Gears of War as "gay" for adding emotional depth, but where are they? Like I said before, if his only targets for criticism exist on 4chan or YouTube comments, he's aiming pretty low...almost as low as people like SoA stereotyping feminists based on tumblr troll accounts, for example. It's just a weak video with a weak message. Kratos is a more relatable character than Bayonetta because Bayonetta already knows a few of the characters in the game? Come on. Claiming that she would be a stronger character if she were less sexual, is itself a form of objectification.

Well, I should hope that googling the term "god of war 3 gay" is not the extent of your research capabilities, but whatever. A bigger focus of the video was the Final Fantasy example, where they changed a male character's outfit because it was deemed too revealing by the community.

The same community that would bitch and moan about Bravely Default's localizations, or Persona's, or Fire Emblem's. That was more the focus of the video, and not the Gears example.

I don't see a point in not targeting 4chan or YouTube comments, just because they're both cancerous cesspits. They still contain genuine opinions expressed by real people, and they're not joking or trolling. Some of them are, but most of them aren't. Who do you expect him to target, anyway?

And he never said that Bayonetta wasn't relatable. Just that she's presented in a way that prominently invokes the male gaze trope--someone that you can watch dance and tittle around for your own masturbatory pleasure, rather than someone that you can embody. Seemed like a reasonable point to me.

Claiming that she would be a stronger character if she were less sexual, is itself a form of objectification.

Gonna need to explain yourself here.

He also never made that argument, by the way.
