The natural world is abundant with variety. This creates problems for those who wish to standardize things to facilitate automation. Thus, those who can't easily be clearly defined and categorized are treated with hostility.
Surely someone who thinks like that must want a separate space to exist where all these assholes they don't like can congregate to do their own thing, away from the decent spaces where good upstanding adults spend their leisure time... right?
No, they actually can't stand anything that hasn't been sanitized for corporate commodification because the very existence of such things shines a light on just how shallow and hollow their products are.
Nah man, it's pretty obvious that it's a mockery of trans people. The whole problem with the trans 'movement' is that it's really shitty to attempt to deceive/coerce/force people to be involved in something they don't agree with. The devs here have done the exact same thing, unfortunately.
Deception/corruption fetish. They imagine that their deceptions pervert and destroy people's ability to perceive the real world, and they get off on the feeling of sexual power that elicits. It's the same sort of high that rapists get, but in a mental space instead of physical.
Pretty much this. I've tried watching it through a couple times, and it is genuinely enjoyable with likeable characters and some interesting plots, but it does go downhill to the point that it's just not very fun anymore. It feels like they were starting to experiment with grand narratives, but were still stuck in the serialized mindset of the older series, and never really hit a good balance between the two. Over all I'd certainly recommend watching it for as long as you enjoy it.
like the Dragon Ball Z Dub vs original. The Dub is what’s popular and generally what made the franchise what it is and what it became.
There are a few things that played into that though, which have nothing to do with translation. Probably the biggest factor is the absolutely phenomenal soundtrack that Bruce Faulconer composed for it, vastly surpassing the original Japanese score. Then, the voice acting for the dub was uncommonly superb, especially in an era where English voice acting was typically terrible. The last major issue I can think of is that it was popular before the Internet was, so most people like myself only had access to the dubbed version, either by watching it on TV or buying the VHS.
Reminds me of something I heard from a Japanese artist who did some work in Hollywood. They talked about how in Japan things were largely left up to the artist to create their own works, with some guidance, but when he worked with Hollywood the execs would constantly be asking for this or that minor detail to be changed for their own reasons.
Yea man, that's totally what I said. @@ By your logic there, why would I support people like you, who shit on me because I ask questions about things instead of toeing the line blindly for random strangers online?
I barely even play games anymore personally. Was just answering the question ger111 posed.
Sorry, but there's nothing sexy about some perverts at the NSA peeping freely whenever they feel like it.
That's not even getting into safety concerns regarding your children, when unknown strangers can track and watch them anywhere and everywhere.
The real issue is they're concerned that people aren't forming families irl, which are necessary to keep the machine of society running. However, instead of recognizing that many of the other things they're doing economically and socially are huge contributors, they're hyper focused on trying to solve the problem exclusively in the realm of media, because they refuse to even consider that their lust for power and profit could be at fault, and especially the role that pervasive surveillance plays in infringing upon opportunities for romance. Despite how hard they've pushed to try and normalize the idea that being watched is sexy, most people will never actually agree with them on that point.
They've totally lost the original meaning of the word, specifically the "involuntary" part of it. I'm sure there are plenty of other men like myself who have made the conscious decision to abstain from sex while we sort out the rest of the utter cluster fuck the world has become, so that we can actually provide a good life for the women we will love.
I'm just super uninterested in country shopping, despite it's abundant popularity these days. Sure things suck here right now, but that's exactly why we need good people more than ever. I'd actually really like to go to Japan for entirely unrelated reasons, but I'm specifically avoiding that at the moment because of the current situation here.
