Thought it was more about this strange obsession to have Lara Croft taken super seriously as a character, which means she has to be serious and broody and no fun allowed all the time.

Also I had forgotten this, but apparently one of the design goals for reboot Lara was 'the player should want to take care of her' which... that's a weird goal for your action hero and is also kind of insulting. Nobody feels a great need to take Nathan Drake in their arms and make him feel safe.

If I recall: it was a meeting with Boogie during a con that was semi private, and Boogie saw the post and put it on his twitter. The real breaking point involved someone veing nitpicky about Sócrates.

TBF I'm surprised it wasn't when I poked at her old article on her serious site about watching the Enders Game movie in order to save YA from dying at the office or some poo poo.

I think the point is less that we need to change anything about our behavior and more that it's useful to remember and remind folks that this is not a private nor entirely safe space. It can sometimes feel that way because the atmosphere of the thread is relatively chill—so long as nobody says Zack Snyder three times while looking in a mirror—but we are regularly monitored by bad actors.

If I recall Lindsay Ellis' final straw in this thread was when she shared a personal story about another youtuber and it showed up on Kiwifarms within the hour.

Posting something personal on a public space like this was a pretty dumb move of hers, yeah.

Yeah, it was pretty weird and gave the game a slightly fetishistic tone. Though to be fair they wanted to make Lara less action hero, more realistic down-to-earth kind of character, but I feel they overcorrected a little in TR reboot. No clue if they got better at it in the sequels.

Yeah, whatever, was just an example—point being that this forum is not as secure or off the beaten path as it sometimes feels. Like, it is a placid lake of pure calm compared to modern social media, but it's still all hanging out here in the open for anyone willing to slap down a tenner, and it's important to keep that in mind.

Post responsibly!

Not really. They ditched the supporting character people liked/hoped Lara would hook up with in Sam and doubled down on Lara being driven to Prove Her Father Right (so it's not about her) and also she has PTSD maybe? It's not even clear if she enjoys the raiding of tombs.

You’re right—Im misremembering. It’s kind of curious in retrospect that he never went after any of the regulars or semi-regulars who made videos. But I don’t want to think about him any more and so I won’t.

the self-defense plea was out the window the second the actual video of him shooting came out in which you clearly see him run away from any possible danger, stop, turn around, pull his gun out, fire like 5 shots off with the poise and careful aim of someone using a nintendo zapper and then start running again

Come the gently caress on, if you're gonna ruin your life at least kill one of the people you've been driven to madness over.

he got shot by one of the proud boys during a protest and the cops predictably let the shooter off scot-free, and it shook something loose inside his head

i recall seeing a lot of increasingly bitter posts towards his ex-wife for not letting him see his kids anymore during that time

he got grazed by a bullet and proceeded to spend the next like six months posting like the loving Punisher about how someone needs to clean up this filth and how excited he was to use his cool gun on basically anyone who pissed him off. Him happening to graze a probably FBI planted fash leader's foot is more a luck thing than any testament to restraint or ability to pick targets or anything, he was 100% on some Death Wish poo poo and that's probably why his ex didn't want him around their kids
