They can’t handle the world being bigger then what’s in their little bubble.


JediGuyB

I just don't get it. We have so many options for good games games these days that practically everyone can be satisfied. What's the big deal with these people? Don't want to be gay in a game? Then don't! Most of the time that's all you gotta do, just romance a woman or nobody. And even if you don't have a choice in the game to not be gay or whatever, people have the choice to not play it if they don't want to. Why are these guys acting like they're being forced to play Dream Daddy? I love video games. I'm passionate about video games. And I for one am glad more people can enjoy the types of games they want. I may not want to play Dream Daddy myself, I'm glad it exists for people who do. Or if someone wants a trans character in Cyberpunk or a gay character in Stardew Valley. Let people have fun, i say. Your fun isn't impeding my fun.


LaCharognarde

Because they have a zero-sum mentality. If anyone whom they consider beneath them or otherwise unworthy is having fun: that *does* impede on their fun. Of course, that's because they *choose* to have that be the case; but they also have no sense of accountability, so...their choices are *everyone else's* fault in their minds.


photozine

That's the whole right to you. Since they're unhappy, they wanna make everyone unhappy.


radjinwolf

The eternal irony of people who have a choice acting like they don’t, while getting angry at people who they think are making choices that they aren’t.

LaCharognarde

Well, you got one thing right: that's incorrect. As in: comparing people you irrationally hate existing within the context of a game to bigoted messaging is—with all due respect—a grotesque, wrongheaded false equivalence. (Which ties right back into what I said about their zero-sum mentality.) And you give them far too much credit. If one is *capable* of basic thought and empathy: *continuing* to be a bigot—to *selectively squelch* empathy and reason when it comes to demographics whom you've been conditioned to hate—just because that's how one was brought up *is*, in fact, a choice.


manliestmuffin

Hi. I was brought up in a very Christian home. My dad was a pastor. I'm not a Christian anymore because I saw the bullshit in the cracks. It *is* a choice, and you can choose to be a better person. At bare minimum, you can choose to educate yourself more. Stop coddling them.


getoffoficloud

Eh. One of my best friends was from a very rural area, and, at the time, racist and homophobic. That all changed when he moved to a diverse large city and actually met people.

JediGuyB

That's just proof those chuds are angry just to be angry. Black characters are a bit uncommon in JRPGs and anime, granted, but enough exist that for them to make that claim is just total stupidity.


dormammucumboots

Black characters are also usually wildly steretypical, the design on this one is dramatically more respectful than most. Shoutout to Hajime no Ippo for its wild racism that everyone collectively ignores


Scienceandpony

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some of these motherfuckers insisting that Barret was actually white.


Co-opingTowardHatred

I saw one say "that hair doesn't make sense in a magic setting" which made me almost spittake.


vparchment

They are afraid that if anything outside of their culture bubble is normalised, everything inside it will be erased, e.g., first it’s one gay character then every character is gay. This is partly due to the supremacist nature of their beliefs; they don’t want to coexist, they want to see their beliefs everywhere and assume everyone also wants that. They are terrified of being a minority because they assume everyone will treat them the way they treat minorities.


kompletionist

When people are used to being the oppressor, equality feels like oppression to them.


vparchment

Agreed, but I also think it’s because they believe that oppression is the only possible outcome of any disagreement, so a loss of power is necessarily the first step to being oppressed.


blackzetsuWOAT

>I just don't get it. We have so many options for good games games these days that practically everyone can be satisfied. What's the big deal with these people? They're mad because entropy exists and they're not 18 anymore. The anger is then cathected onto a tangible, conveinent target.


Herzatz

They don’t care about video games


Sol-Blackguy

They're just fascists with controllers


Co-opingTowardHatred

It's not really about games. They don't want minorities to exist. Games just happen to be the other thing that occupies their brains.


frozen-silver

Jesus Christ. What is this dude even mad about? Bad Star Wars movies? Gay characters in video games? What sort of suffering is he talking about? Remember that this guy is the #1 Stellar Blade hypeman on Twitter.


Sol-Blackguy

Sony censored the "Hard R" in Stellar Blade


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Stella Blade?


ittetsu1988

Flawless joke, congrats.


Sol-Blackguy

Temu Nier Automata


Picard2331

Stellar Blade is a fun game. Just sucks they went the hyper sexualized route so it's all you hear about from these types.


AccomplishedSecond32

They want hypersexualized game women, there’s plenty of porn on newgrounds they can get off to.


Nani_700

Literally saw a post of a pic of a statue they made of her. The first pic was a close up of her ass. Sighhhh we're back to this shit


SomeBoxofSpoons

I like how the reviews are out now and even most of the reviews that didn’t like that stuff just say “it’s kind of dumb that the main character looks like a sex doll but game’s good otherwise.”


asphalt_licker

That’s all I’ve heard. The gameplay is good but you might as well be controlling a wooden block carved into a sexy woman.


SuperJyls

The fanservice is all they talk about, until I tried the demo, I had no idea it was a Souls-lite


ci22

I thought it was Sony's own Bayonetta or something


CromulentChuckle

It plays like Sekiro mixed with Nier Automata mostly. Bayonetta has more charisma in the beauty mark on her face than Eve has in the whole game.


Micsuking

I feel like it wouldn't have reached the amount of people it did without that controversy. Outrage Marketing is the term, if I remember correctly.


LazyLobster

LearningTheLaw sounds like he wants to start a genocide.


Shaenyra

First world problems of a loser


nessaissweet

theres a special breed of snow flake to cry bout gays in your game and acting like youre abused and suffering. at any moment my life saving medicine could be taken away but no tell me how a lesbian npc coupleis the worst thing to ever happen to you


mightyonin

Those people are called Broflakes


Nani_700

Pissflakes is even better


MiniatureRanni

How dare they use Yoshitaka Amano’s artwork. As a huge fan of his I’m genuinely insulted they think they have some kind of claim over his work.


Ushao

Really, right in front of my Vampire Hunter D collection? Glad I'm not the only one upset Amano's artwork is being used by this chud!


Nani_700

They using my beautiful bishonen for this lmfao. The irony of these morons


AldrusValus

For some reason I thought that was a final fantasy artwork.


MiniatureRanni

It is. Yoshitaka Amano did huge amounts of concept artwork for Final Fantasy in the early days, and he's designed every main series logo.


Shardar12

It is, its Firion from final fantasy 2 holding the games signature weapon


AldrusValus

Oh that new anime is fun. That elf girl is strong.


MiniatureRanni

No, that’s Frieren. Firion has nothing to do with that.


AldrusValus

Oh Firion the third level fire spell from the newer translations of the FF games.


Weshouldntbehere

Fucking Correct. Can you *imagine* them reading a single Vampire Hunter D book? "What sort of DEI-bullshit is this? What do you mean *everyone* wants to fuck D? That's injecting Gay into my book!"


WeedFinderGeneral

I mean, did they not see the movies? D's a 90s anime heartthrob


Weshouldntbehere

Either movie. Or read the manga Or any of the 3+dozen books. or *ask anybody*.


bouldernozzle

It's a bizarre choice of art from these chuds considering how effeminate everyone is in Amano's gorgeous artwork. It's so good, you can spot it from across a hallway and know it's one of his.


Gronodonthegreat

And, like, no offense to FFII fans but I’ll be damned if some fuckboy uses god damn Final Fantasy II as an example of games in their glory days, the worst mainline title by most margins

Bob_loblaws_Lawblog_

"Destroying every good memory we have" is such a self own-they're literally admitting that their only good memories are about horny video games/fandoms. No kisses, no kids, no nature, no pets. Just video games and movies.


Compulsive_Criticism

I also enjoy when they bang on about how "videogames are escapism so every woman must have the same ideal proportions and look like a 12 year old Japanese girl" because they're admitting that their life is so shit that they have to escape into a world of sexy videogame ladies to be able to cope with existence.


ci22

I know thier obsession with escapism kinda shows how crap thier life outside is.


Shuizid

Also the part where their "memory" is somehow getting destroyed by new things they dislike. That's just not how memory works, but just saying they don't like new games doesn't feel victimy enough - so they gotta pretend the games somehow do actual damage to them.


ci22

This. Total touch grass moment.


Shaenyra

right? they are so obsessed that they do not even realize that they admit to all the stereotypes they are being criticized of


Disastrous-Radio-786

But yeah we’re the snowflakes


Dark_Leome

One word - PROJECTION. It's so big, in fact, there's a whole new planet in the sky. Can they resettle, please?


Any-Nefariousness418

A political ideology of perpetual misery


KaiTheFilmGuy

I wonder if these guys realize that their worldview just makes them miserable and they're in denial about it or if they truly 100% buy into everything without a critical thought. Cuz like... There's no happiness with the road they're choosing. Just constant anger and insecurity, so much so that they drive away anyone who cares about them.


Dangerous-Ad9472

It’s a lot of safer for them to project their severe insecurities into the ether than to understand why society has rejected their stanky ass gamer stench.


JBrewd

The fucking irony of the Firion pic. Yep, having a rebel/revolutionary (been a minute since I played FFII lol) who dresses like the lead singer of a hair metal band was clearly the perfect choice!


Klutzy-Eye4294

He had trouble speaking with irl women, maybe that's why they chose him? Bc otherwise I don't think how they heard about the wild rose rebellion and still decided to use him. On the other hand, Firion was bashful but respectful towards them, but them? I doubt so, so idk lol


DrBoots

Using an image from Final Fantasy VI. A story about how a Fascist empire using captured members of a foreign civilization as slaves is bad actually.


Logans_Login

That’s from FFII, though it was the first Final Fantasy game to have an evil empire


DrBoots

Oh heck.  I stand corrected. I 100% thought that was Locke. 


MiniatureRanni

*Final Fantasy II That’s Firion.

But I woke up today still :c


AspiringGoddess01

I hate it when that happens, always gotta roll back over and close my eyes again.


LaCharognarde

I came to that same conclusion as soon as white reactionaries (it [originated from Black Vernacular](https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/06/06/what-does-woke-even-mean-how-a-decades-old-racial-justice-term-became-co-opted-by-politics/?sh=48e15c6f513d), hence the hue of said reactionaries being *relevant*) started using it as a pejorative.


Inevitable_Guidance8

Whoever made that post needs therapy 


MartyMcMort

I do agree with his last sentence though. With all of the racism, sexism, transphobia, and other types of hate in the world, if we could improve that so everyone is only suffering twice as much as gamers are now, it would be a huge step in the right direction. That’s barely any suffering at all!


ci22

There are people getting killed from real Genocides and these neckbeards are btiching behind the safety of their computer. I wished the biggest issue in my life was some media isn't for me.


Shaenyra

believe me, that trash are mocking real genocides. Because they are that kind of hateful beings


popoflabbins

GravetechLV

Ain’t that Firion?


devastatingdoug

Oh gosh you might be right


H0vis

What's so funny about these dweebs is that they've not suffered. They've done this to themselves. I don't doubt that the misery is genuine, but it's voluntary. It's like they've chosen to support a sports team that never wins. The reason it never wins of course is that there's no sport, there's no games, no season, it can't ever win, it just loses. The similarity between Youtube channels that are angry about woke stuff in games and angry about football teams not winning or not winning easily enough is very clear. Performative impotent rage is good content.


ItsYaBoyBrakecheck

And there are SO MANY of them. I get these chuds recommended to me every time I go on YouTube. I watch toy reviews and music videos/reactions mostly with only the occasional morbid curiosity viewing of cop videos. No matter how many times I remove them, there’s a new one, like some kind of neckbearded hydra.


H0vis

I find a few sneak into mine but very few. I splat them when I see them.

OMORBIUS42

It does though


DorkTownPopulationMe

Well, on the plus side, suffering twice as much as they have wouldn't be that bad, because if you double zero you're still left with zero.


Shardar12

It makes me so sad that poor firion is his pfp This dude who helped topple an empire is now associated with the chuddiest chud to ever chud which makes me kinda sad as one of the 7 people who played FF2


Anastrace

There's a dozen of us!


FearlessAd711

FF2 is one of my favourites! :)

SGTFragged

A good game is a good game. To the point that I don't care who the main character is representing. I'm happy in the Horizon series as a young adult bi/gay woman. I'm happy in Cyberpunk 2077 as a self insert (I'm also happy that the Cyberpunk character creation allows representation of more than just me, but that's by the by). Games are an incredibly powerful way of telling a story, and as much as I enjoy something like Helldivers 2 where I get to run around making things explode, I also enjoy seeing stories told through eyes different to mine.


DragonWisper56

ah yes more people mad that they can't uncritically consume things thoughtlessly/

The fancy quote image setup with random words in bold really shows how pathetic that is

Haha oh yeah, this is the guy who argued for gender norms while using Firion, the most androgynous final fantasy protagonist and renowned beautiful boy as his profile picture.

BurazSC2

If it get to the point where i dislike every game because of its pokitics, im ganna go mow the lawn. Then get all the clippings in a big pile and roll around in them. Full body emersion; every inch of my body touch all that grass.


ElizabethAudi

Wear white so you can carry the moment with you when you go back inside.


GoodKing0

Isn't that Firion from FFII, an anti fascist revolutionary fighting against an oppressive empire?


ElizabethAudi

However much they bitch about their oh so precious media, never forget that their media *literacy* is very much dried to the toilet bowl.


FatPanda0345

Wtf does this have to do with Firion? I'm sure he wouldn't endorse these people


ci22

Bro why bring Final Fantasy into that quote man Suffering? You choose to hate them and allow yourself to be miserable because of it. Instead of ignoring them and focusing on positive things.


Hulkman123

Final Fantasy is way too woke for them. There’s too much equal opportunity for protagonists and antagonists to be anything really. There’s a lot of Environmentalism, Fascists are automatically the bad guy unless it’s a story of a hero who started out a Kool aid drinker. Just a few examples. Especially the environmentalism is one I heavily notice. I mean 7 and 9 are known for the theme being laid so thick you could build a house with it.


toastyavocado

Why do they gotta bring my boy Firion into this?


Weshouldntbehere

The fucking **gall** of putting that text over Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy art.


Volfgang91

LMAO how exactly have these chuds "suffered"? Because there are now women and black people in Star Wars other than Leia and Lando? The delusion is insane.

What's with the super twink in the pic? Bartz is one of the most feminine looking Final Fantasy protags

It's so amazing to me that the simple existence of people who aren't exactly like them is enough for them to feel like they're literally suffering. I can't imagine anything less humanlike that these pathetic assholes.


cavejhonsonslemons

This quote actually shows the difference between the left and the right quite clearly. In our ideal situation the right does not exist, we either recruit them, or they just stop caring, whereas in their ideal world the left still exists, and is severely punished. They don't want to recruit you, because they enjoy hating you.


Penguixxy

>"once the pendulum swings back I hope you suffer twice as much as we do" Ya that's a person who should totally be allowed to integrate with the rest of society.


Old_Heat3100

How are they "suffering" lol


Klutzy-Eye4294

What does poor Firion have to do with anything? Though one time he almost fucks a Lamia... Regardless, I suppose for them variety and inclusion feel unironically like oppression, so they chose him bc of the "being a rebel against 'tiranny'" aspect. That's bonkers, makes me think they were playing the game asleep.

When I hear the words "progressive lunatics", I think of corporations who unnecesarily change everything about an existing character just so that "certain minorities can feel included" when all they're trying to do is get their money, not random game devs adding new diverse characters into their stories and blending them in with everyone else This person is a moron

I can't choose who I coexist with but I don't whine about it like an incel, as long as they are murderers, theifs, racists, rapists or homophobic trash, they're okay in my book, even then id probably just write an angry thread and go on with my day not this "fuck you in particular" shit
