I'm actually surprised to see people arguing Laci Green isn't a TERF—there was a big fuss where it rather unambiguously happened several months ago. I follow a lot of trans people and feminist-types on Twitter, and the latter especially were really disappointed to see Laci Green start red pilling herself.

New Game Dungeon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkm7SZgwSww Also I really like Hbomb's video on VHS, I think its pretty accurate as I don't really get the visceral fear reaction like I used to watching tapes or late night horror movies on my old TV's. I can even remember watching an episode of star trek on a black and white box in winter and being seriously creeped out by it. Also I decided to watch the video on Sherlock, I hadn't before because I never watched the show. It got me interested and I got a collection of the stories to work my way through. My only real exposure so far has been an audio book of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Anyways. Brad and Jerrid went to see the new My Little Pony Movie... for some reason. Take your mind off the drama of the last few days by watching a pair of grown men in the mid 30s try to review a movie made for 8 year old girls.

Just making a general statement to say that I am Very Sad at the TERF nonsense being perpetrated by some of the people who were fellow small-scale reviewers of mine. HOWEVER, I have much more enjoyable news - I've reviewed another film from the well of super obscure small budget queer movies that I find endlessly fascinating. It's Winter Kept Us Warm, the film that inspired David Cronenberg's career!

At this point the MLP movie viewership is both actual kids and friends/followers of people who worked on the show/movie, so there's a chance an adult being there over "Hi, my favorite doodler of animals with square glasses on worked on the previous piece so I wanted to check that out" than some sort of diehard viewership.

When I started working at Legoland I was pretty pleasantly surprised to see that little girls actually are really into the show enough to have shirts and backpacks based on it. I kinda just assumed that the show was mainly a success because of the adult fanbase. I remember finding a Fluttershy plushie in one girl's bag when I was doing bag checks. Those shirts are so much less embarrassing on actual kids than grown men. Especially since none of those shirts have the word "brony" on them anywhere.

Nah, it's just that kids actually have people to talk about the show with IRL so they don't make huge internet hubs dedicated to their cartoon horse opinions. If adults were the only lucrative market you wouldn't see an assload of My Little Pony on everything child-sized.

I don't necessarily expect folks to watch a 2 hour podcast that's mainly about footie, but The True Geordie got to do a podcast with Alan Shearer and it was really good. Great to see him finally do an interview with his childhood idol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpE_vEzZYD0

The "Definitely not a horrible jewish caricature" big+hook-nosed orc rubbing their hands together in anticipation of your money is still killing me, how was this approved. He's like one "goyim" away from being an A. Wyatt Mann drawing.

They turned a giant spider into a sexy half-naked lady. I don't think the design team, or the person who is laying down the laws, gives a poo poo. Or has any artistic vision.

I actually emailed Jim about it along with a reference image for similar Jewish stereotype pictures because it's kinda uncomfortable. I have a feeling he just didn't think about it. I doubt it's intentional what with the whole "deliberately distancing from facist imagery" thing.

I'm kind of okay with Jim using it, because I'm pretty sure HE'S aware of what it looks like and while he could place it in videos better, it always feels more like it's thrown up there to be like "LOOK AT THIS poo poo, REMEMBER THIS?" that somehow this was created and then stamped and pushed out with the seal of approval. Cause I feel like more than in just my own experience, it's hard to sift through the garbage that is online discourse especially now, without having seen this thing at least a few times, whether outright in this form or shopped up. Hell, at least one D&D poster had their av changed to it mocked up to resemble Anita Sarkeesian.

I don't think that Jim went into detail on it but he's DEFINITELY said something to the effect of "Who approved this, what were they thinking??" about it. After that, I'd be shocked if it turns out he hadn't noticed. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not getting into detail because he wants to avoid dealing with the disingenuous "You're just accusing them of being Nazis because you don't have a REAL point, nyeh!" comments that would definitely flood in. To his credit, it does kinda speak for itself.

I already mentioned the Orc Merchant, but one other thing I'll say abut it is... ...I'm pretty sure Middle Earth already had a stand in for us. Like, I'm pretty sure Tolkien outright said once the Dwarves were the allegory. Maybe you should have made the sequel a game about the Dwarves then WB?

Jimbot posted:Well, when the industry stops doing that trash in these 60 dollar games then he'll stop complaining about it. While it's accurate criticism, merely talking about it changes little. "We're not going to stop complaining about an aspect of your game that's going to be massively profitable for you and which we still bought (except for those of us you gave advance copies, oh by the way we still reviewed the game and broadcasted its positive points to our followers)". Like, oh no, Warner Brothers are quaking in their wing tips. Wait, hang on. What did they make in pre-orders on steam alone? They're going to be fine. When critics were cut out of the loop by Bethesda last year, that wasn't just a lovely move - that was a test of the extent to which the impact of criticism can be ignored. What gamers and plenty of critics fail to recognise is that they themselves had a hand in the problems with these games - gaming culture's complacent consumerism enables developers to sell them almost anything, and the best they can do is complain about it. Not enough people were willing to risk missing out on a new game or waiting to listen to critics. It has been proven to big-name publishers and developers that they do not need to even pretend to care. Imagine for a moment if earlier this year millions of players had outright refused to buy dishonoured 2 because of these practices, or refused to pre-order or purchase the life is strange prequel, because of their anti-union practices, using scabs to complete the project, or simply allowed themselves to miss out on a lord of the rings video game. Do you think that might have more of an effect?
