Good one?

Why yes, I am in this thread.

What a pithy observation!

now that they added lucas, ness' custom moves are like kinda useless now

i just can't really get too excited over paying for... another clone character

i'm glad we have a release date for mewtwo now

i'm not really that hype for lucas, but i'm glad they're still adding characters--and taking requests from us, too (but i already know what characters are gonna get suggested, and i don't want any of them <_<)

SMT x FE looked sooo shitty
like, oh my god

still moderately interested in mario maker

and they didn't really announce anything

3/5 direct

if it's not, i quit

this is the lamest fucking april fool's joke

i remember when i discovered porn, i didn't know quite what to do with it
was i just supposed to watch it? that seems awkward and weird

then i noticed what the guys were doing to their junk, and i was like, ohhhh

ew

There, I just fooled my mother into thinking that I dropped out of college. :^)

i wish someone would corrupt my wish

You could've saved yourself a whole lot of writing if you realized that this is the group I'm talking about.

And I'm saying it's like talking about how red M&M's give you cancer.

My whole post was simply an effort to explain why game developers are reluctant to open up to more diverse characters that are female or part of a minority. Because even though this group is just a minority, it's a very vocal and powerful one. The internet is growing ever more important, and a single (radical) feminist hashtag or spree of opinion pieces on varies gaming and social media outlets can be incredibly damaging to a game developer.

Give me a scale as to just how "powerful" these awful feminists are. I don't think you have anything. What exactly do game developers have to lose by not acquiescing to the ideals of extremists? Someone mentioned that their JOBS are at risk. Feminists are gonna try to get you fired.

How in the fuck could they possibly do that? And if it's already happened, please show me some sources. Anyone.

Because even though it is only a small group that thinks like this, short and un-nuanced keywords are an easy way to manipulate the masses. All it takes is some crazy extremists on the internet who take something in gaming a bit too seriously, and it doesn't have to take long before the watered down version hits the mainstream media and outlets where the generally less informed people will just get on the train of "these people think it's bad for women, so I too will share join the trend because I'm a feminist." Gamergate is a pretty good example of this.

The way I see it, if you're willing to compromise to a vocal minority who utterly LACK a strong case for their contentions, then you're just kind of a spineless coward, aren't you? That's what I think. Unless, of course, someone provides me with evidence that these people are a far greater threat to their livelihood than I imagine them to be.

>Watched it on a whim
>didn't enjoy it

Deal with it.

i didn't enjoy it either though lol

>watching films for humor

come the fuck on now

I was gonna do a joke, but I couldn't think of anything good or something I haven't already done before.
Like, say that I was just trolling anime fans for my whole life, and that my favorite anime is Madoka or something.

I don't claim to speak for all women, either. If any woman takes issue with what I say "on their behalf" (what I'm actually doing is speaking for everyone), we can have a discussion about that. This notion that I think of myself as the arbiter of social justice or whatever is just false, and it's getting old.
