I'm not sure I follow this joke.
I am (trying to) study for a minor test. I don't have to say it's harder than impossible to concentrate.
Listening to Street Fighter V music.
Using the internet and pondering whether or not I should be productive.
Not really my thing either (especially since it won't run on my laptop), but I did find it a lot of fun while playing on my friend's server back in High School (~4-5 years ago).
Reading for college.
Ok, fine, think of it as you wish, but sexualization of a character improves in no way the game and it's just easier to remove the outfit and replace it with literally anything else than to risk controversy1. The fact that you knew it was a spoiler means you weren't spoiled.
2. If you're drawing it, then it's not child pornography, you're not harming any minors by producing it. Likewise, there is no shame in the human body. Sexuality happens in the mind, it's how you interpret it that matters. If seeing a child naked, cartoon or not, inherently sexual to you, then the problem lies mostly with you. Not the content. A drawing is a drawing, and nude children among other nude figures are very common in Renaissance art. Does this mean that Michaelangelo was a pedo? No, it doesn't.
3. You shouldn't be surprised. I'm an artist. I've studied human proportions and have a trained eye when it comes to noticing these things.
4. Sex and sexuality are perfectly normal aspects of human nature. It's perfectly fine to enjoy sexy things, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with "objectification" contrary to what many would like to have you believe.
I'm a man, and I'm not ashamed of the fact that women arouse me, real, digital, cartoon, etc...
If a game offers the option to dress up characters (both male and female I might add) in skimpy outfits, I'd like to not have that option removed thanks to neoPuritans.
Funny enough, I've discussed these issues with a fair deal of my private students (grown adults for the record), showing them examples of the removed content in FFV, and every single one has agreed that this form of censorship is ridiculous.
Not surpising for gun-totting America to be offended by bikinis however, and be perfectly fine this:

5. We're comparing Asian culture, to Asian culture. I don't understand the double standard just because the mediums are different. For one, XCX isn't even rated E, it's T last I checked.
And going back to my previous point, only fans of anime and Japanese culture were gonna bother buying an anime game. I don't understand the point in removing the things that make it inherently Japanese.
It's like travelling to Tokyo and demanding everyone speak English and remove the aspects of their culture you find offensive.

Part of the point of experiencing something from a different culture is so that you can open yourself up to sll the ideas and concepts unique to it, no matter how foreign they might seem to you.
I understand localization exists for a reason. But as someone who did a translation gig for a big shot company for a few months. NoA should be ashamed of the piss poor job done on XCX.
Anyway, dunno why the rant. I already said I'd be getting the Japanese version. Already got the Prima guide, and I speak a bit of Moon. You feel free to enjoy and defend whatever you like. But personally, I'm not giving NoA any of my money for their miserable effort, and I hope the meme-spouting idiots at theTreehouse get fired.
You're apparently allowed to spoil major plot twists in something lots of people are hyped for
Musem de Alfonzo and Xenoblade X spoilers
Hell, while I was at my local Target I found toys of Youtubers that play Minecraft (Minetubers I guess?). Youtubers! I mean, look, I'm not gonna be that guy that says it's easy making videos, because they aren't. But really? Was this something people were asking for? Was anyone really asking for a plush toy of that one guy that plays a video game for the Internet?
My friends gave me Minecraft to Mother's Day (don't ask why) and yeah, messing together around is really fun. But only for a short time imo. I also fear that Minecraft goes a little bot overboard, but it's really demanded by kids...
I think I'll go back to playing my NES now...
Damn it Sonic, you post pure gold at the worst time possible.
PEGI put up a rating for Minecraft Wii U on their site I believe. So yeah, probably legit.
Here's a link to it: http://bit.ly/1kOgNEJ
Indeed it is. It's been rated by PEGI, so it's bound to be legit.
I liked the fact that the person running the Sonic twitter has watched Avatar.Who the heck runs the Sonic twitter? It's always so filled with references.
An Avatar reference too? can I marry a twitter account?
You can marry the person that runs it I guess?
Hate to say this, but posting hype videos could potentially be seen as spam. You're a Jojo fan so you're a cool guy, don't want mah budz getting infracted
I barely read any of your post but this stuck out to me. Get a grip. Are you THAT bothered they changed the outfit for a 13 year old character? The only "miserable" thing I'm seeing is this kind of behavior.
What I love is how that poster in particular claims XCX's translation has been meme-ified, censored and ruined despite there being absolutely nothing implying that's the case, especially as NoE's also tackling the translation iirc. He's crying about something he thinks will happen
You posted the wrong link
