Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

My cousin back home in Ohio was genuinely perplexed by me picking Lucina, then Zelda, then the female alt for Robin when we played Smash 4 together for the first time. It, like, disturbed him that I was playing female characters. And he asked if I was gay.

I didn't expect Smash Bros. to spawn a much-needed conversation about gender equality and unfair expectations with my extended family.

Also Videl is the ****ing best I'm so excited.

Bruh, you're cousin is so wrong. I've played with a lot of hetero guys that play female characters. I wonder if he plays any MMOs because a majority of female characters on there are played by hetero men.

This thread is actually wild.
Also, I really like it that FighterZ, Smash Ultimate, Persona 5 and Kingdom Hearts 3 are taking all of the spotlight.

Oh, you didn't at all. It's been a social media/games reporter thing since they first rebooted Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider and Uncharted are like the same goddamn game but Tomb Raider gets controversy. This is why the concept of
is kind of rare.

it kinda helps when people dont assume Im saying "I want to see a woman get assulted and abused" pf

Yeah, the stuff in tomb raider was a bit too wild, cant deny that

I like how everyone took what I said to a whole different place then what I was trying to say

"women getting hit a lot too is really equal"
Really substantial commentary there, mate.

 

[staindgrey]

sometimes it takes something small to realize how ignorant some people can be

Oh, I'm fully aware of just how ignorant my family back home is. It just extended even further than I thought. He legitimately never played female characters because he wasn't female. Those characters were made for girls to play. And that's why there were more male characters in videogames. Because only guys really like videogames.

Through the week while we were in town, my brother and I just talked with him and tried to expand his perspective on a whole host of topics, and it ended with me buying him a copy of Fire Emblem Awakening and asking him to play it to understand why I'd want to play as Lucina. He did, and now Fire Emblem is one of his favorite series and he's no longer weird about playing as girls. He's still fairly closed-minded and makes too many gay jokes for my liking, but he's grown a lot since then. And a lot more than he would have if we hadn't initiated the conversation.

As someone who grew up in a 95% white, isolated, Bible Belt town, I realize that I would've been the same way if people hadn't helped me relearn the world. Ignorance isn't always bad. Persistent, willful ignorance is bad.

My dad used to say...

“If I’m going to spend the entire game looking at a character’s ass, it might as well be a woman’s.”

Well...

If a Woman is a Martial Artist, a Male Martial Artist holding back against them just because they're a woman is incredibly insulting.

[staindgrey]

I am bi too.

Honestly I wish I were bi. Twice the options.

We straight people really get the short end of the stick.

I'm so glad I grew up with the internet. It's exposed me to so many viewpoints and experiences I wouldn't of known about otherwise because of my sheltered life. I didn't know what Asexual meant in 2015!

It's also showed me a whole bunch of weirdos, so I know what not to do in life.

I'm a straight lad and I'm fine with it, to be honest.

It's so hard being straight, man.

We should advocate for straight rights.

This scene... this GODDAM SCENE.

They nerfed a cool and nice character like Susan Storm... just to make a PATHETIC AND UNFUNNY SEXUAL JOKE.

If the writers really cared when writing the movie, they would have known that Susan Storm could just easily turn the clothes invisible too... but nooooo... they had to make Susan a joke.

Ah the good days of my young innocent self being attracted to that scene (then the 2nd movie happened and I enjoyed that more...memories)

Mfw everyone is playing together, and I don't own a Switch yet

I think it's entirely unrelated, as should you.

Your father is a wise man.

Blessed. Which is why I always pick the female characters

I really don't feel like "men and women are equal as human beings" is all that political of a statement though.

Well, at least you're not Amy Pascal. Or Jim Sterling. Or Bob Chimpman. Or literally any of the current writers at Marvel.

Okay, so I was gonna give some basic shading to the Warlestio drawing, but now I'm thinking about leaving him solid color. He actually looks really close to the Wario Ware Gold artstyle that way, which I kind of like.

Example of Wario Ware Gold's style:

That is exactly what I was saying but no one listens to me at all. IDK why no one ever listens to me

Terry Crews doesn't count.

I'd **** Terry Crews.

Oi, can straight women join in too?

 

[Deleted member]

It's not. But with that statement comes the ideas. Also, you'd be surprised at how many people would say otherwise, on the left AND the right.

Okay though here's a hot bucket of shade I'm throwing on all of ya'll ( except a few you know who you are.)

So. It’s bean 7 years sense PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and we’ve had 3 successful Smash games not made by Nintendo. Brawlhalla, Rivals of Aether, and Brawlout. Aside from a few guests, these games have mostly original rosters. (Which in my eyes proves that we can put up with a so-so roster if the gameplay is really good). So, how do these games succeed where All-Stars failed? How to they differentiate themselves so they don’t feel like exact copies, yet still retain “fun gameplay” (I still think All-Stars was fun but that’s neither here nor there). Basically, What can All-Stars learn from these other titles for a potential sequel?

See that's the funniest **** as I have high standards for men I'd even consider dating to the point where if they're hot I'd go "Oooh I hope you're a decent person" but whenever I see cute girls, which is almost every girl, my mind goes blank and all I can think is "GIRL HOT GIRL GOT GIRL HOT"

 

[ClaTheBae]

I'd **** Terry Crews.

If you have this on Netflix, at least watch three episodes.

I do not care what you say, it is a very interesting and fun watch.
