Could I please ask for an explanation of this joke for the sake of people, including myself, who do not have touhou engraved in their bones?
the touhou with the bare shoulders is one of the main player-character touhous, and is in charge of policing the boundaries of touhouland

Well yeah, she's standing up - she has a weapon, which she probably even used without permission!

From what I'm hearing, that's actually supposed to be a joke on how stupid gritty reboots are that nobody loving got, and I'm kinda inclined to believe it in this case because nobody makes something this horrid and cynical in earnest. It hits too many loving bullet points.

Edit: Also, never do that with dialogue subtitles EVER. Not even as a joke.

Apparently: http://antiviral.gawker.com/the-dark-gritty-power-rangers-reboot-is-actually-a-bri-1688005186

quote:

Everyone's losing their got-drat minds about Joseph Kahn's dark'n'gritty short film reboot of beloved '90s kids' action franchise Power Rangers, which features near-blockbuster-level production, meticulous editing, and tense scenes between James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff. Holy poo poo, it's amazing! So dark, so R-rated! When can we see this cinematic masterpiece?

Sorry, nerds: Kahn says the joke's on us—and on the Hollywood darkening and grittifying machine that's given us Grown Up reboots of lightweight childhood franchises, board games, and even Batman.

I think Batman was chosen to join the Yellow Lanterns (who are all 'fear' instead of 'willpower') which frankly is the most reasonable idea to come out of DC comics in years.

I got just long enough into Undertale to be intrigued, but I'm worried if I finish it I'll just want to play it again for a different ending.
Playthrough is 10 hours absolute max and that assumes you are a handicapped infant who cannot help but fly directly into attack patterns. Six is more realistic.

Please don't time travel with HP Lovecraft. That guy was freaked out enough by things like "the ocean" and "black people". If you tried taking him into the future and showing him all the crazy poo poo we have now all you'd end up accomplishing is giving him a premature heart attack and creating a temporal paradox.
Didn't he write a whole story about the horror of involuntary time travel or something? He might be into it. Other than the whole thing with the African president, though I imagine he'd rationalize quickly.

Well I mean, the ocean is in fact a horrible place devoid of all hope, so it checks out.

Also didn't Lovecraft turn around pretty hard on all the racism near the end of his life, I thought I'd read that somewhere. Obviously it doesn't unwrite some of his more unsubtle poo poo he made, but meh.
He didn't become less racist but he did get a lot more socialist towards the end of his life, perhaps due to being a broke adult in the Depression who had some education. He wrote some sick burns on the Republican party that still ring true today!

Not sure you could really count them as gay characters, since they were barely characters at all. More just props to show what a massive piece of poo poo the boss is.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Speedwagon though.
Speedwagon is extremely erotic but I think it is fair to say that there is no "gay representation" in Jojo in the sense of "these are explicitly homosexual characters," other than the ones mentioned. It is however very homoerotic, and that is to understate matters

The White Wolf thing lately is that there's a guy in charge of it now who's bringing back all the groan-worthy poo poo from the 90s and wanting to like, comment on ISIS and poo poo. And by comment on ISIS we mean have vampire NPCs in pre-generated materials who are just, at random, terrorists.

Also that Sunless Sea stuff is pretty solid, especially the one with the saree lady.
