LittleTomgood old AAA video game culture climate Where you have to "justify" why you would dare to make a female character attractive (even just pretty, normal, not disgusting to look at) but the esports friendly fighting game filled with psycho sadistic serial killer snuff is okay guys, what are you a prude? something something core values you get the joke
@MordredSimp@LittleTom Okay? :wat: That's not what this was about. It was just a jab at their retarded "Why do you want attractive females in your games? Just go watch porn" argument
@locagainstwall@LittleTom My issue with the Gore in MK specifically is that it overshadows rather meh games. "This game feels like shit to play" "Oh but did you not see this super grotesque Fatality on this character we made". I mean seriously there hasn't been a truly good game in the series in 20 years, and the last "good one" was just a Meh MKX which was just a sequel to an alright Reboot. None of these new games have been any good
Then Netherealms Pipes in like "But did you see the Fatality?"
@locagainstwall@LittleTom Sorry I just have my own issues and rant I wanna go on about the MK Games. But yeah I don't get that argument. If we wanted to Spank the Monkey then we would go to a Hentai Site, which they complain about.
@LittleTom@locagainstwall Exactly it's a PR thing if you think it's about just "Men and Women should have an equality of opportunity, and call out the bad things that happen to women in society" then you wouldn't bat an eye at the stuff they say, but then you realize it was never about that it was a bunch of house wives who wanted to ruin stuff for guys and use the actual hurt and pain of other people to get their way
@LittleTom@locagainstwall They are Communists by nature, they have no actual principles or morals for that they stand on, their world view is completely incongruous to itself
@MordredSimp@locagainstwall they want you to go watch hardcore porn (an innately corrupt industry built on sex trafficking and abuse), for some strange reason that's moral and good to them, but pretty drawings are not.
>the Christian violence censors are going to come back
They are already here. For example they conflate troon grooming propaganda for kids with... Goblin Slayer. They will fail for the same reason they've failed before: Overreach.
@LittleTom funny thing is the Christian violence censors are going to come back because we haven't hit the bottom hell of "lowest common denominator" yet so i'm just going to wait till that day comes and laugh since anime titties were censored long ago :akko_shrug:
@natsock it's just useful to make everything gay, ugly and retarded, with feminism as one excuse to do so. What I would suggest is that the absolutely repulsive proto snuff gore in something like nu Mortal Kombat is pushed not in spite of the values that promote faggot feminism but because of them.
@LittleTom This is a false dichotomy. Feminism is used cynically to diverge and weaken culture at large, so inevitably once gaming became big enough, it was targeted by feminists. It has nothing to do with being prude, puritan, or a degenerate, that's all just gaslighting or post-hoc rationalization.
