Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Meanlucario
Yup. He created the series, contributed to the storyline of every game, and even composed most of the series’ music.

@Penguin Dragneel
Work on the latest game is what I asking about mainly. It’s cheap to say characters are trans in a game you didn’t work on (though unlike Harry Potter, it sounds like there’s evidence in the game that what this guys says is true as oppose to what J.K. claims).

@Meanlucario
Yeah, he worked on Strive.

@Penguin Dragneel
That’s what I figured, just wanted to be sure.

@Penguin Dragneel
I wonder what mental gymnastics the usual crowd will do to deny the fact that Bridget is trans

@icicle wicicle 1517
I feel bad for Bridget since this might mean their point about the curse is no longer valid, and the curse might still be real.

Bought Stardew Valley. I don’t really play farming sims but this is really hooking me in.

@Meanlucario
I guess their backwards superstitious community was right all along.

@Mikey
It’s deeper than the normal farming sim, that’s for sure.

Even before modding.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
I like farming sims for the homey feeling they can give you. This definitely gives me that.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
Or they need to do the test again with someone who isn’t trans.

@Mikey
Watch you delve into the dungeons.

@igotnopicks
Lol

@icicle wicicle 1517
I’m personally still waiting for them to claim that Ishiwatari is “secretly a teenage Californian girl in disguise.”

@Penguin Dragneel
I’m almost scared to ask for context.

@Meanlucario
Some dips##t on Twitter accused the Japanese creator of AI: The Somnium Files of being a “teenage Californian girl in disguise” after he doubled down on the game having a non-binary character.

@Penguin Dragneel
…I fail to see the connection between a game having a non-binary character and being a “teenage Californian girl in disguise.” Social media sites are weird.

The cyberpunk 2077 anime is out on Netflix by the way

@Meanlucario
The joke is that that’s the demographic of person would typically want that kind of character in a piece of media.

Yeah… They’re one of THOSE people…

@Penguin Dragneel

@Lord WyrmSpawN
I’m not sure if “joke” is the right word.

@Penguin Dragneel
If I wasn’t on the internet long enough, I’d think that tweet was a joke. Now though, I’m sure they are being sincere in their view that he is (at least mentally) a “teenage Californian girl in disguise” because “Japan doesn’t have LGBT characters unless they are bi women” or some shit.

@Meanlucario
These people are weeaboos, the type of people that Filthy Frank would make fun of.

@NitroFury
I think “alt-weeb” is better, unless you’re saying most weebs freak out if there’s a LBGT character who isn’t a cute girl into guys and gals?

@NitroFury
He’d be like this:

@Penguin Dragneel
Alt-Weebs or not, these type of people only see Japan through Anime, Manga, and Video Games. And they will not last one day in Japan if they decided to move there.
