Anyone remember that Cuphead gameplay video?
View attachment 132564

I got annoyed by the gameplay, tbh, since I thought it was meant to be serious, but jfc, why is the gaming community's response to everything they don't like is to send death threats?

Hopefully, this will clear things up.

I got death threats in my normal job, so people getting them online is unsurprising

I mean, if someone is willing to do it irl to your face for just doing your job, being anonymous must make it that much easier for them

I hear all pronunciations used. Some people use one, others aren't consistent but the one you're saying that's intended to be offensive, I hear get used as a substitute for dude or bro or whatever.

Also, I don't appreciate being called a moron. Watch your tone and don't just jump down people's throats.
It's also tone and context. What pewdiepie did was blatant racism. Why are black people everywhere saying he's stupid for saying the hard R? I'll call you a moron if you act like a moron.

Both of you are morons. I'm afraid I'll have to point out the obvious but pronounciation and tone are VERY important!
What pewdiepie did: Angrily yell "****ing ***ER!" out of frustration, which he admitted doing often as insult
What you two are talking about: Black people going ****A or ****UH, usually used in a situation you can replace with the word dude or anything, such as "Dude, you're stupid" "My dude, you're awesome!"
Notice how the one black people say doesn't have the same pronounciation as the one the racist guy do
Did I choose a bad time to come back?

It's not a double standard, and we're not saying the same word anyways. Yes, changing the "-er" to an "-a" does make it a different word, that's how words work

Read this short thread:
https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/881320426202386432

If you're not black, just don't use it.

---

Oh, I survived Irma, no power outage or anything.
First of all, I'm not condoning the use of the word at all...black or not...

Second, I was specifically speaking of whites and blacks using it in the same context...

Third, IT DOESN'T ****ING MATTER IF YOU PRONOUNCE IT WITH A HARD R OR NOT IT'S STILL THE SAME WORD!!!

Don't give me that ****...

People say the N word in both endearing and insulting ways. That's not an argument- that's a fact. It happens all the time.

Wrong or not is really irrelevant. The context of the matter is defined by present company. You don't tell a black guy to not call his black friend the n, do you?

As for Pewds, he's white as snow, and he dropped the n as a slur. To me, yeah, thats bad. But really, why are we just caring now on what he says? He's said much worse in the past. And YouTubers drop the n word a lot actually. Delirious has done it before, for example, and people just laughed.

Don't respond to this. I'm not looking to turn this into a conversation of spit and hate, but that's my opinion on the matter.

Oh yeah it's 9/11 today. Completely forgot about it until someone mentioned it on twitter
Yes, today is the day where, about 40 years ago, a coup d'etat was enacted in Chile, resulting in one of the many South American dictatorships of that period.
Over 3000 people were killed or went missing during it, more than 10000 were tortured and about 200000 were forced into exile.

It does make a difference
Kinda like "no" and "nah", none of them are racial slurs but one is the official word used for serious conversations and the other is a variation that is neant to have a playful tone.
The hard R is the serious, racist one while the other is the playful variation used by black people to refer to one's friend

People cared when he made a "joke" about killing Jews but "oh, it's just a joke, stop being offended by everything"
Him dropping the N-word was the last water drop in a full bucket

huh, this guy wears nazi uniforms, pays Indian children to carry signs saying "hitler did nothing wrong", and shouts racial slurs, but I'm reserving judgement. i'm sure there's no way he could possibly be racist

No, the words ARE the same...

The context may be different but the words are the still same nonetheless...That also doesn't mean that either one isn't used in the other context either...

I didn't say the words were the same though, I just said they carry different meanings and tones.

Yeah I can agree with this, the one with the R is obviusly used to insult the race but the one with the a is just slang we use for eachoter in the same way bro is used. We would never call eachother the one with the hard r unless we reaaaaaaly hate ourselves

I don't get how, as a white person, you can't realize that saying the n word makes you look like a ****.

Called it, the direct was obvious at this point (not so much the date though, thanks leakers). Now we'll have the pre-direct hype followed by the post-direct disappointment.

On another note, Knack 2 bombed in the UK, selling less than Mario+Rabbids this week. There's an overused meme somewhere in there, but Knack memes are a dime a dozen.

Seems to be mainly an Odyssey one.
Preorders for Odyssey need to open, so they'll probably announce them at the direct. The game is going to be massive.

I don't expect any more 1st party titles for the year, mainly games being dated, preorders, and for Nintendo to reveal that Kirby 3DS game they were talking about. 3rd party stuff as usual, nothing huge though. 45 minutes is a nice length though.

I love you too.
I would like to apologize, as I now realize this comment was too far and out of line. On September 11, in the Nintenzone Social Thread, I professed my love for another gamer during a heated gaming moment,

At this point I'm just looking for release dates for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Rocket League....

Perhaps some info on USUM...

The highly unlikely possibility of a Smash for Switch coming...but we'll likely not hear anything in that regard at least for quite a while...

Pumped for the new Direct.

Don't know how they can sell me more on Super Mario Odyssey than they already have, but we shall see.

Why'd you mention Etrian Odyssey twice?
