is mortal kombat actually good or is it just a developer traumatizing machine

it never seems like the games have that long of a public shelf life like street fighter or, like, marvel do, it always looks like it's a series whose games are hot poo poo for a little bit and make a shitload of money and then fade away from the public eye

The pinnacle of this sort of bullshit was the one time I saw a twitter post where someone unironically said "eating Mexican food if you are not Mexican is cultural appropriation"

Also lmao

I cook a ton of Mexican food, like as a white guy it's probably 90% of my diet. I've definitely caught poo poo from white people for it.

Meanwhile my friend took me to his grandma's house to learn how to make corn tortillas and tamal. Turns out people really just do like when their culture and heritage are enjoyed and dgaf much past that.

The part that a lot of those dipshits overlook is that cultural appropriation is at the expense of the culture being appropriated from. Sharing culture is good and most people enjoy that and there is nothing wrong with it at all and I loving loathe how the discourse about this stuff has evolved online.

the new mortal kombat looks fun at least. mk11 bored me to tears. some people really like them but they have dial a kombo and block buttons and lots of janky moves

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
It's like how white people hear inuit throat singing and are like to eachother "this is sacred you can't do that" meanwhile Tanya Tagak is all like "it's a game to see who can make the most hosed up noises and whoever laughs loses"

Or at one of the universities my roommate went to. A faculty member was giving him grief for using Chinese instruments in his composition on accounts of concerns of appropriation. The commission was from China. They gave us all the instruments to loan and everything. I got to play the guzheng

the hitlers, you see, are too calm to become involved

also i just got to the final bossfight in Lost Judgement and thought "hey, maybe i should use that Warrior's Onslaught extract i've had in my inventory for like 40 hours". it turns out that makes your strikes unblockable and do about a health bar's worth of damage per hit, so i just absolutely and instantly bodied the guy built up all game as a terrible threat

When its white people complaining about appropriation its 99% wanting to be visibly seen as a capital A Ally.

The rest of the online whining is often just reactionary bullshit from 2nd generation kids who aren't really connected to their mainland culture but want to wear it like a merit badge. Arguably there's some valid issues of culture and cultural pride but they just pick the worst targets to vent their aggression at.
