I like how in past life regression seemingly every other person was someone famous or adjacent to someone famous. When 90% of people should have been peasants and proles in most if not at all of their past lives.

It's always ''oh I was a handmaiden to Marie Antoinette and was executed by the revolutionaries for my unfailing loyalty to my mistress" and not "I was a plowman in the Albanian village of Vend i Ndyrë where I died at 37 from a combination of malnutrition, infection, and being kicked in the nuts by an oxen."

Yeah, no-one even claims to have been that Hebrew sausage seller who got a really nice epitaph. It's always something 'big'.

Gina Carano, on review she's moreso garden variety chud but I'm sure she's skidded into armbands. Marvel ignored other star cast members complaints, transphobia complaints, tweeting alt right stuff, she finally crosses the line (tweets something that might affect international sales) and they fire her when it's convenient for the story.

Gonna guess they mean Gina Carrano who became more public viewsy as time went on, and given her old job was being punched in the head those views weren’t exactly good ones. It’s not like she hadn’t had a career before then, she just knew to keep her mouth shut a bit more prior.

I've played through Fahrenheit and let me tell you I didn't need any other proof that David Cage is a huge loving creep. "Oh wow why is your dick so cold?" "It's because I'm literally dead, now let's gently caress."

Everything Cage does is super creepy. His games are riddled with rape-as-masturbation. Page just happened to be a young famous person who physically matched his 'type'. So of course he made a collage album of pictures of them from childhood upward. And then had them modelled as anatomically correct in game. And then had multiple scenes of Page being groomed and sexually assaulted.

It's annoying because I actually think that the user experience and storytelling in his games are pretty decent and they could be good games. But they all have to shove rapeyness into them because that's the only conflict Cage can imagine a woman facing.

If you'd cut out that one extremely unnecessary scene from each of his games they would be just fine.

I actually disagree with that. They would certainly be more palatable, but they would still be bad games. I think they are fundamentally flawed beyond just the misogyny and rape. They rely far too heavily on cheap tricks for emotional response, negating player choices, and in some cases straight up lying to the player in a way that has nothing to do with narrative. Retconning what it has already shown you ust to set up a 'twist' that doesn't make sense and couldn't have happened. The writing in general is bad, and the characters especially are wafer thin.

It's all just sleight of hand and cheap tinsel. That it's in service of rape just makes them disgusting instead of merely incompetent..

It's also not one bad scene, Heavy Rain has a female protag dream assaulted in the shower as her introduction I believe (also fully modeled nude character for no reason), nearly murdered at either the real killer or a red herring psycho's house, and I think has to go undercover at a strip club?

Off the top of my head. Heavy rain has 5ish rape scenes(counting dlc). Beyond has 1 or 2. Detroit only has 1, though.

Madison only exists for the purpose of having a woman in the game, and to cage, that means lots of sexualized violence. The only thing she can possibly do to further the plot is solve the mystery but only if you gently caress up with all of the rest of the characters.

Also, heavy rain had "mad jack." Defintely his most racist character, and there's a lot of contenders across all the game.

Home invasion poo poo scares me like nothing else (although it's never happened to me, thank god), and that scene genuinely made me feel sick to my stomach.


Here's a couple of Yelp reviews for one of the bars downtown.

quote:

I used to frequent this place often until they make you show personal medical papers at their door for entry now. No thank you. I will spend my money elsewhere.

quote:

This place is so weird. 0/10. Came here and immediately got weird/demonic vibes. It was scary. Do not come here unless you're into that poo poo. It was dirty and dark, even the fish tank looked weird as gently caress. Please do yourself a favor and stay away!!! Music was sooo weird... not vibes at all. So scary, we could not get out of there fast enough

quote:

My fondest memory is prob hanging out with a guy called George, anyone know him? He had this massive chin and had a beard too!! What a legend!

quote:

DANGEROUS place for ladies to go to! our friend was PUNCHED unconscious by a BIG MAN. the bouncer WATCHED and did not call 911 when requested. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO FEEL SAFE.

the plot is a bad rip off of the invisibles to the point one of the factions are called the invisibles

so there's like a higher reality messing around with our reality and they're like god AI's or something and can manifest bullshit into our reality much like the Archons of the comic 'the invisibles', i can't remember but they may have actually mentioned archons in the game which would make it even more blatent
