It's such a long list of adaptations bastardizing the character of Irene Adler. She is a woman who gets married to her beloved in the Sherlock Holmes story, and almost every adaptation since has tied to make her a villain or in love with Holmes or both. Godfrey Norton is pretty much forgotten.

However iirc Moriarty the Patriot plays about as fast and loose with the canon material as they do with the English language making word vomit for their J-Pop songs.

Endometriosis can be serious and even damage a woman's reproductive ability. Sadly the only ways to correct it are either hormonal birth control or to have a hysterectomy (which also permanently destroys a woman's reproductive ability). There is also surgery to scoop out the scar tissue that builds up in the abdominal cavity but it doesn't not prevent future scarring and inflammation.

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?" This is a movie made by the same director as Robocop, of course its being tongue in cheek about militarism. I remember the humans are colonizing space but I can't remember if it's stated humans are invading bug territory or if it's the bugs invading humans.

Hard to say. AssCreed doesn't have a super terrible rep. The last game, Mirage, was a resounding "meh" but seemed to be a turn in the right direction from the sprawling, bloated mess that peaked in Valhalla.

Still, the games have completely given up pretending to be historical pieces and you got all sorts of anachronistic goofy shit.

I wouldn't have minded if Yasuke had been a cameo, a samura's servant as he is historically described, but Ubisoft finally makes a feudal Japan AssCreed and they make it start a black dude because Japanese people aren't diverse enough. So they are making their assassin game that used to be about blending in and centering it on the most conspicuous man in all of Japan.

I am hoping this game bombs just because everyone knows that if this game is a financial success Ubisoft will use the profits to pay off the Skull and Bones debt. It's funny as hell that a AA team making Helldivers 2 - and focusing their game on being FUN - has put Skull and Bones completely out of people's minds.

Yeahhh bragging about how food costs 4x less in Russia when you are earning 4x less isn't the "gotcha" about sanctions Tucker thinks it is.

The difference is that Starbucks is legal and you haven't been exposed to 19 years of "don't buy Starbucks, it's illegal and dangerous".

And it's been several years since illegal drugs have been getting cut with fentanyl. People know. This is not surprising. Yet they keep choosing to take this risk.

Druggies only have themselves to blame.

I didn't mean they should make a deconstruction. But Sailor Moon has served as the template for so many OTHER magical girl anime that they should make sure what they are making isn't stale while also taking note what has/has not worked with the genre for other titles.

Oh what, having drug addicts wandering your neighborhood like zombies and taking fat shits outside of your apartment doesn't make you want to live in SanFran? Bigot.

Well, kudos to someone making their own shit and not putting Sailor Moon in blackface.

I saw a small trailer on YT. Magical girls with a roller derby gimmick doesn't seem bad. However, Wheels and Roses has hideous Steven Universe style art.

The criticizer DOES have a point in that magical girl genre has evolved past Sailor Moon 30 years ago and if Sailor Moon is your main/only anime inspiration, their cartoon may seem outdated before it's even begun.

Also it's San Fransisco. A teacher's salary might not be worth it in a city with such a high cost of living, especially if they're new in their career. If they're offering like $65k/year and the average rent costs $40k/year, most people aren't going to be chomping at the bit to move to San Fran and teach math to overcrowded classrooms full of phone-addicted brats. You're much better off teaching at the community college in some Midwestern town.

Local multiplayer is also huge for Japan's love of public transportation and most people commuting to work.

Yeah the devs did not anticipate so many people playing the game. Apparently the original peaked at only 7k concurrent players. Helldivers 2 has gotten over 225k concurrent players.

Oh yeah, she got caught with the Hitman scene crying about how the game encourages you to kill female strippers while the footage shows the player getting penalized for doing that.

And it's not the only example. There's a scene from Deus Ex Human Revolution that she make it seem like you're yelling at a prostitute as you chase her down, when in actuality the footage is the POLICE yelling at YOU because they are trying to arrest YOU for attacking the prostitute. Literally taking an example of the game penalizing you for attacking a female NPC and claiming isn't an example of the game encouraging you to attack female NPCs.

It's basically Invader Zim if it was rated R. Same energy, same insufferable fanbase.

I don't support rape/death threats/ etc. but it wasn't just she had bad opinions, it was that the gaming industry believed her bad opinions and she managed to convince them that if they just made a bunch of stupid changes to their games (that would drive away their existing audience) they could double their profits because durrrrrrr women make up 50% of the population.

Also she took people's money and ran lol

Yeah the Minus One had damn good graphics for its budget. Not perfect, but I saw a trailer for the next Godzilla x Kong movie which has a budget of like $250 million and it looked like retarded shit.

Godzilla Minutes One also managed to make a movie where I was invested in the human characters. Whether it's Transformers, Jurassic World, or Godzilla, Hollywood can't make me give a fuck about their shitty human characters.

I wouldn't expect non-Americans to stand for the American national anthem so why would you expect non-blacks to stand for the black national anthem lol

It doesn't help that bloated budgets (aka Hollywood addicted to cooking the books) has obliterated the ability for studios to take risks, causing an explosion of sequels and prequels because those are considered safer bets.

With the state set, you get the one-two punch of diversity hires with an agenda who believe you can like their slop if they replace whatever you liked, and the dumb suits who think blindly checking off boxes will maximize profits.

Usually a woman being so physically active would have the good sense to don a sports bra.

However, it seems like these characters are robots (or possibly cyborgs) so no, not even in the context of the game's setting is this meant to be "realistic".

When a Western female character does not match the actress: uglier

When an Eastern female character does not match the actress: sexier
