Welp guess my concerns about this poo poo is totally invalid because I'm a ~sjw~. How dare I get pissed off about racism with a side of telling women how to dress!

It's invalid because 100% of the poo poo you got butthurt over is just a loving joke. maybe if you didn't have a massive stick up your rear end you'd have more fun in life. :iiam:

How about you guys go make another thread to talk about racism in videogames, I'm sure that will be very productive and go very well on Something Awful.

everyone who was mad about kormir getting that position at the end of nightfall should have just gotten it instead and had their character deleted because of it because there's no way you'd be allowed to keep using it if they're now a god

I don't really think we should have gotten it but it was kind of a pain for the story in the end to have been about the npc and we were just some chumps along for the ride. Stories for multiplayer online games are a pain that way though.

In retrospect, I actually think Factions might have had the most effective overall story in that regard, given it also lacks the every-five-minutes "surprise you've been working for the bad guys, again" of Prophecies. Even if I like Nightfall better overall.

yeah, for some reason i saw a lot of people saying that they should have gotten it instead, and that's...pretty ??? in general. i think guild wars 2 is way worse about it than nightfall ever was, because tree jesus is just some random gently caress that most of the races don't even remotely know for part of the game who has some mystic vision about being the savior of the world. at least kormir had more of an actual sort of story going on.

I'm not one to give people poo poo for finding anything at all racist, and goons can get real weird about japan, but 'the people giving poo poo to a large contingent of people playing this game who fetishize asian women are the real racists' is just not a position I understand, honestly.

So nobody's mentioned the real most important part of this update.

The best part is it wasn't even racist in the first place, it was making fun of weeaboos and their waifus.

Like literally the only racism I see in that post is towards the fictional race of Canthans, unless we're going to consider Japanophiles-who-will-literally-take-any-generic-Asian-stand-in as a race or something.

How on earth do you not have a report function? There's a button next to quote, with a big red exclamation point on it, that says "report"

and she said it herself, if no one kept posting at her to tell her to shut up we wouldn't be having this conversation. Sorry, dude, you're the one being dumb here. Arus is right, and he was talking to everyone, not just xun, and god dammit now I'm getting sucked into this poo poo.
