That said, back in the day when I was a teenager, I acted as though women’s consent was owed to me. Literally shaking my head at this weird notion of companies apologising for their original vision and removing things. The parts where you self harm, they were just part of the experience and I barely even remember them to be honest. We’re literally regressing as a species to the point where now we can’t say anything lest we offend someone or things are being cancelled because all of a sudden people find them offensive (Apu in the Simpsons is offensive, yet Grounds Keeper Willie isn’t). Point of it all, this weird insane over the top snowflake / cancel culture thing that’s going on is not a good thing. Nor did I try and drop boulders on road runners or shoot a gun in a rabbit hunters face. I grew up watching these cartoons, and I never once associated how he treated the cat to how men should treat women in real life. Pepe Le Pew is a cartoon skunk who would spend his time chasing a cartoon cat yet has been scrapped by Warner Brothers because he apparently promoted Rape Culture. I was reading about Pepe Le Pew last night and was thinking “what the hell is going on with us as a society?”. You’re not defending some kind of holy principle, you’re just screeching because your privileged was threatened. While it’s great you are, flinging your poo over things that don’t harm you in order to actively fuck over other people makes you the human equivalent of a bag of warm bin juice. Your broken-ass brain doesn’t get that some trivial thing MIGHT KILL SOMEONE NOT AS PRIVILEGED AS YOU AND THAT IS A THING TO AVOID. Yeah bro, that’s kind of the problem here. ‘Some one call me back when people grow up again and realise not everyone has been brought up the same, thinks the same, have different circumstances and situations.’ You’re not an idiot, you understand that depictions of suicide actually can help kill people, while removing them from the game doesn’t hurt a soul.īut you’ve been taught that your privilege is sacred, and filled with crazy ass bullshit arguments that you regurgitate in scenes like this. You’re told ‘Hey, this is a BIG DEAL for other people and can HURT them so please make a tiny adjustment’ and your brain says ‘NOPE MY FREEDOM TO DO WHAT I WANT AT THE COST OF OTHERS IS MORE IMPORTANT’.Īnd you know this. It’s because in basic terms, you’re a sociopath.
It’s because people like you have spent your entire life doing what you want, whenever you want, and you are OUTRAGED that you might be even in the slightest bit inconvenienced to make a big difference for others. We understand ‘why such disagreements come up’. when the hell did “just be respectful and accept everyone has different tastes” (or in short dont be an asshole) to “be respectful and follow these very many guidelines and if your personal beliefs deviate from these then you are a monster”… well frankly I’d rather not engage anymore… This constant posturing of right vs wrong is utterly damn tiring and frankly I once assumed our hobby of gaming was better. pick a side and make them the “right” one.Īnd yet its this same website that will promote dogpiling on devs for problematic content and also call out “harassment”. I always wonder why kotaku articles just continually disappoint me now compared to some of the older stuff.Īnd then i see an article like this where the obvious double standards are front and center with kotaku “defending” a dev for making a change (which truthfully is well within their rights to do) diverting blame to the supposed “gamers” for also undertandably being upset a game they enjoyed has been “sanitised”.
