You know, Terry Crews was a victim of sexual assault years ago, and only a few weeks ago did he come out about it. It took him so long because he knew no one would believe him, after all he's a 6'3," 245lbs black dude. This may be a different scenario, but that doesn't change much at all. Victim blamers like you are gross and are the reason people take so long just to come out with something. This whole "why didn't the victim do this!!!! They're doing it for attention!!!!" is exactly why we have so many problems

I didn't say "they should have said something five years ago" because it makes them look like an attention seeker if they do not, as a universal rule. Though in this specific instance, it definitely comes off this way, especially in the attitude of the victim.

If you don't come out about something the moment it happens, then your ability to present concrete evidence wanes overtime. If it was an actual court case, this could destroy your case. There have been many, many instances of this happening to people. And it's unfortunate for those who actually did have something unjust done to them, but in a lot of cases, it's their own fault.

The Terry Crews situation is completely different, since he had tangible, sensible reasons not to speak up, like it effecting his career. That doesn't mean it was necessarily the right decision, but there was a logical reason for him to keep quiet.

That was not the case with this person who was apparently doxxed. Like I showed, they were approached about it five years ago, admitted it did happen (i.e. not concealing that it happened at all), but said it was not a big deal and that there was no reason for it to get in the way of AHiT's success. They were not held at gunpoint or otherwise had a real reason to not talk about it, they simply didn't think it was a big deal...

...until AHiT actually releases to mass critical and commercial success, and NOOOOW it's a big deal. Now they want to talk about it, even without being approached this time.

Frankly, I think it's pretty low to compare the Terry Crews situation to this. The two situations are nothing alike.

My entire cultural identity was destroyed 400 years ago when white people took African slaves to the new world. I'm sorry, but no matter how many years pass, until something is done to right those wrongs, it'll always be relevant. Same rings true with JonTron. He hasn't retracted those statements, he hasn't taken strides to improve, he hasn't shown anyone anything that he doesn't still believe that entire groups of people should be removed from the gene pool. Until he does, it will always be relevant.

JonTron did retract those statements (and clarified the ones that were LITERALLY misconstrued. I read the articles, and he did not say a lot of things they said he did, they twisted his words because that's how the media works to get hits). But your bias has probably led you to filter that out.

Being outraged is more fun after all, right?

 

[Aurane]

lol.

Nah, it used to be a popular term back in my Maplestory days, but I think it either died down or I left the communities it'd be most popular in.

I've never seen the term before so I didn't even know it was a thing. *shrugs*

Being outraged is more fun after all, right?

Well of course.

That is until some Fairy ***** switches in and sucks your Outrage and OHKOs you with a Moonblast. >:T

It really doesn't change as much as you think it does, but keep believing that, sure.

Okay, so he retracted the statements, that's good... sorta.But he still hasn't taken strides to better himself, he still is an ass, and he's been an ass before the interview and he's continued to be an ass after it. Suffice to say, he's a white supremacist, or at least a white supremacist sympathizer. This whole "he was manipulated" thing is bull****, deep down he does believe the things he said to an extent. The only difference is that maybe, with more time, he would've worded his belief in a more "acceptable" form. Though I'm not sure how one makes "removed from gene pool" more "acceptable"

I'm not going to buy A Hat in Time, I probably would if I had the money, means to buy it, a proper gaming computer and no games I want more like EOV, Cuphead or The Fake Odyssey because it honestly looks like a pretty fun game.
I mean, I'd buy MGSV despite the way Konami treated its employees because it's an actually good game and I still watch movies with Jonny Depp in them despite his whole thing.
Games and movies are made by much more than one people and I don't really believe in boycotting them because of one part of it. I just don't want to support the specific Problematic™ individuals. But I believe it's not easy to those in the team who disagree with such things and have nothing they can do for various reasons.

If you don't want to buy these products because of certain individuals, then that's fine too, you have every right to do so.

Teddy Crews

Chiko pls

I'm perfectly aware of this, otherwise I wouldn't buy anything at all, what doesn't have something problematic. Gonna be honest, I pick and choose, and in this case, I chose to not buy A Hat in Time. I heard some news, and decided, yeah I don't want to give in to this. Meanwhile, I'll still probs buy a Naughty Dog game even after all of their internal issues.

But for some reason, me explaining why I don't want to purchase something upset people greatly.

USUM Update.

A new part of Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon has been revealed through an interview held by Eurogamer Portugal. Within this, it revealed that the points you earn from Mantine Surf can then be used to get items, and most notably have Move Tutors teach your Pokémon moves that they couldn't learn in Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon. This follows on from previous instances of Move Tutors being added in enhanced versions, sequels and remakes. At present it isn't clear if the points are also obtained through other methods or if the points are Battle Points. We'll bring more details as they come so keep checking back

Official confirmation of Move Tutors. We knew it was coming, but still. That's nice to know.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It's pretty skeevy to bring up something that was bad that happened to you only when it was beyond convenient, especially after denying it the first time(you know, when it was actually happening?). That's just finding a way to abuse the system and clearly get views. I'm with ChikoLad on this one. That's unreasonable to do. Don't bother denying it unless you want to entirely drop it for good. Sure, what happened to them sucks. But intentionally trying to cause drama over it years later just makes them petty instead. It served no good purpose to bring it up later whatsoever.

So yeah, entirely different situation. Handled differently. Different issues(including petty bull**** that weakens the argument made), etc.

 

[praline]

I don’t know if it’s a FEW thing or a Dynasty Warriors thing but like I was wailing on Niles with Elise and his health was not going down at all. I moved him halfway across the map!

 

[Knight Dude]

That BlazBlue crossover game is coming to Switch. I really hope that DBFZ will as well.

I'm still waiting to see a bit more of the new Spider-Man game too, namely, what bosses we get to see. So far it's just been Mister Negative and maaaaaaybe Kingpin. I'd like to have another Spider-Man game where you can really go up against Venom and Green Goblin in a legit fight. Couldn't care much about Miles being in, but I hope my boy Miguel O'Hara is in as a costume. Same with Spider-Man Noir.

Two bisexuals dating is hell because none of them wants to decide on what kind of date they'll have.
"What do you wanna do?"
"I don't know, I don't wanna choose"
"Okay what about this or this?"
"I don't know, what do you want?"
"I dunno, don't make me choose, this is hard"

If it's hard, the choice on what to do should be obvious.

The reason it was even brought up is cause the lead dev is still causing trouble for people.

This isn't a case of the lead changing his ways ever since, and someone just decides to toss shade; no they never changed, they're still being an ass.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In the context of what happens on the pages, you'd think someone would figure out that manga is supposed to be read from right to left instead of left to right

But what do I know, these people are only being paid to talk about this manga

Edit:

LOL, I guess the further he got into it he eventually did figure it out

**** the Manakete map on Lunatic in particular

CHIKO NO

 

[Deleted member]

I want to continue Conquest but I just can't bring myself to do that.
Should I save my units as Einherjar for skills and delete my save file to let go of my long held sins and just restart the game later? Because I find it hard to come back to games after long breaks.

I need a second opinion gaiz

Doesn't matter. They're intentionally doing something petty for the sake of it. It's causing drama when they didn't need to. This isn't in good faith whatsoever. It's using an excuse to hurt someone. They should've actually not denied it when it was relevant, and moved on. Instead, they're intentionally causing more drama for another person. Jontron himself doesn't need some extra help in being seen as a problemsome person whatsoever. It's already there. He reaped his own issues, if you will.

Reporting something should always be done in good faith, not to intentionally hurt another. That's just petty and I have no sympathy for either person. Jontron's an ass. So is the other person for being petty. It goes both ways. Both sides are doing something wrong. I refuse to treat either as some good person when neither are clearly being one here.

 

[ChikoLad]

*** the Manakete map on Lunatic in particular

It's not really bad at all as long as you have high Res units.

It was Indoor Tactician and Strike From Afar that got me. The former I was able to do with my incomplete Flier Emblem team, the latter required a Light's Blessing.

What does this have to do with JonTron? This isn't against JonTron

I don’t get it..

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'm just reading what I could see. Either way, if somebody is reporting something only when it's beyond convenient to get views, they are not reporting in good faith. Which was my main point.

I probably missed something along the way, but my point stands. Good faith outweighs being petty every time.

 

[Ivander]

Oh no, they're multiplying
View attachment 133356
All of then have been sent to the meat grinder already so no need to panic

Please tell me you used them to give HP+5 for your healers, right? Or gave one Emerald Axe to Camilla who can make good use of it? Not just send them home for feathers, right?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I don’t get it..

That was more so making a failed joke at how perverted Niles is lol

I don't think how long it's been changes anything if the person hasn't changed since then.

Indoor Tactician gave me some troibke because of Nino mainly because Hector could take Robin no problem and the others could be cheesed by attacking from behind the mountains.

The main oroblem I have with the Manajetes is that no one can safely deal with Tiki because of Lighting Breath and Vantage.
I /think/ Hector with Vantage and Ignis can at least knock her down to a safe zone but I don't have the stamina to try rn

Sent the 3* ones home and the two 4* I had became Swap fodder

 

[Coricus]

Fire Emblem Warriors just arrived! :D

I'm playing on Easy, but I'm having fun slashing enemies to bits so far.

. . .So Frederick is being ridiculous as usual and the Owain scene is even funnier hearing the meta crack.

*plays more*

Frederick, don't suggest bear for dinner if you're going to try to weasel out, LOL.

 

[praline]

This pegasus rider took out ****ing Camilla and Leon.

 

[Deleted member]

Edit: Whatever, I was probably just looking for attention.

 

[praline]

Well looks like I need the Wedding Peach amiibo

 

[Knight Dude]

Incineroar would be better off if it can get access to Fire Punch at least. It's something other than Flare Blitz and Fire Fang. It'd be even better if it somehow got either Blaze Kick or Fire Lash. Actually, Fire Lash is something a lot of Fire types could use.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'd appreciate these political discussions more if it didn't devolve into snark at the drop of a hat.

Real matures everyone...

 

[RamOne]

There is also another new addition in this area (Festival Plaza), but we can't talk about it at the moment. We can only say it's related to the battle system of previous games.

Oh, hey. It looks like it's another point to the follow-up rumor.

Fire Lash?
What the **** is Fire Lash?
*looks it up*
Oh, It's Heatmor's signature move.
No wonder I never heard of it.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Gumshoos, Komala, Alolan Golem, and Kommo-o would definitely benefit from getting the elemental punches.

It'd also be nice to see Crabominable getting Thunder Punch and Golisopod getting Ice Punch.

Golisopod getting Ice Punch.

Golisopod wants priority moves
Extreme Speed Golisopod, anyone?

Umm, Sheer Force? Sheer Force takes away Waterfall's flinch, so Feraligator isn't worrying about flinching the opponent, but doing more damage compared to other Waterfall users thanks to Sheer Force boosting it by 30%.

Liquidation though is slightly more powerful and also has an additional effect, so Sheer Force Feraligator benefits from it.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that because my ingame Feraligatr is from SoulSilver
But still, it's plus 5BP before STAB and SF
