To be frank that partly sort of came from there being so little media with lesbian relationships and the little part that got some sort of mainstream viewing getting the "Look, they are just good, good friends, good friends that live with eachother and just happen to be very helpful with eachother on bed and somehow want to get a house and a family together, did you people never go outside and had a buddy you cuddled with together nude for warmth" treatment. Ain't saying that's the impetus of a lotta smut there, but still.

I've been to a certain super popular videogame streamer where the main host proceeded to elaborate, for nearly 3 hours, about a 2-3 minute Norm McDonald segment on a dumbfounded and confused but yet admired way, on more or less this tone. Spoony at least had like 30, 1 hour maybe of content to talk about at least.

I think something like that was definitely needed to at least counter act RLM and RLM's Parroting. Not necessarily as a defense but more of a "Hey, let's see where this works and doesn't to someone that isn't there to just put something hoity toity through a shredder". Jimbot posted:Is Errant Signal the guy who argued Civilization's message was horrible because of Barbarians or something like that? He argued something like that but not to that level of severity. It's more "I love this game to bits, I just find odd that a game that's about interactions between the peoples' happens to have this random unbargainable people that come and mess up everyone for no reason."

Jay O posted:New musical countdown for any Bebop fans: Top 10 Musical Moments in Cowboy Bebop! This one was a lot of fun to make. Oh man, Space Lion as "2. Space Lion is probably my favorite track of the whole soundtrack. I've never seen it as a sad song but rather its perfect for stargazing and omnimous stuff. I'm kind of surprised of the omission of the boat chase on Ganymede Elegy from the list. It's one of those moments that there's other similar moment on a different show that's strange to see it done twice in 2 different contexts.

Testekill posted:Peanut Butter Gamer did a video on bad licensed video games that was pretty enjoyable. He's pretty likable also and is generally chill. It also doesn't take the easy cop out by naming ET & Superman 64 as the worst licensed video games. Something I like about PBG is that when I hear streamers bemoan about his output "sounding fake", it comes from people that do the "Hah! This video producer, who had one of the largest viewerships on youtube, stop doing videos? I guess Wendy needs yet another burger flipper" spiel. ... As in, people who like to point at the likes of PDP and PBG, state "I'm not fake and shouty, unlike THEM." and produce turds of a different kind.

And hence why it's a perfect trojan horse to dismiss legitmate complaints inside. Kinda like how for years savvy bigots figured that if they put their issues with lgbt folk and poor folk under the "lol furries" banner, folk wouldn't wise up and go "Wait a minute these issues are not related to digging animal people, what the heck."

There's something to be said on the reaction to HeForShe or BlackLivesMatters or ICantBreathe vs let's say, JeSuisCharlie or BringBackOurBoys. Ooor when folk go "See, these people are going out and doing things, instead of complaining online" and end up supporting Ukranian Neo-Nazis, Egyptian Military Coup, Brazilian "Hey let's go back the military dictatorship because we lost to Dilma" types and so on. What I'm saying is to be somewhat aware of what folk are suggesting instead of #talkingaboutthissortofcrapthroughthishashtag.

Hell, you know what? Just go and compare Lindsey's video on the Lorax to Doug's and they're night and day on the level of critical analysis. And that was with less skits and more of a "vlog" format. I didn't defend the Lorax movie as much as his review was ripe with unfortunate implications if one remembers what the heck he did for months before said review.

I really can't make myself shed tears for Anno here given that he crept on Asuka's Voice actress to the point that she didn't want to have to do with the project. This is not a "He's imperfect therefore he can't criticize", but more that he was more upset about the treatment of a fictional girl than of a fellow co-worker.

Yeah, from what I gathered Anno and his peers (Physical violence towards con staff + mentions of not just Asuka's VA being the target of nonsense comes to mind here) seemed to be somewhat aggressive or otherwise creepy to lady voice actors / staff in general during the production. The interview with her being followed with 2chan recovering "old adult video footage" and popping on Sankaku Project as "She was no angel" made this a bit worse, and somewhat doesn't give me much faith for "The english version of said interview was badly translated" ordeal you were talking about.

There's that, but from what I gather there wasn't as much as an attempt to make the employment period any less awkward after that. I can understand, on some hosed up logic, getting that sort of feedback, but not afterwards to make sure that one cleans up the poo poo the golden child pulled.

It was Sankaku reporting on a 2ch thread. I won't link it here, but they were oddly "neutral" about it. I observed this sort of nonsense in general on US and Japan studios tho! I wouldn't say this sort of poo poo is exclusive to anime production. I won't blame ya for considering it to be somewhat exaggerated tho!

Zedd posted:Commisar Rex is a goddamn treasure. Komissar Rex is endearing comparing to the Portuguese spin off, called Inspector Max. Kommissar Rex had the elaborate plot of "This was a bomb squad dog, his owner died, so he moved in with the detective". Inspector Max would balk at the idea and decided to give the inspector a large family and the dog is randomly found in the street. Bachelorhood, complexity of characters? No gently caress that, the dog just wants to be a cop. The inspector character, who 85% of the time has this expression, even when listening to a sexual assault description or a murder of any creature younger than World War II, engages crimes in a way that would make Hawaii Five-O (Modern version), look like loving Miss Marple or Murder She Wrote in terms of demanding intelligence from the audience. The dog is barely trained and does only his investment on already weakened or surrendering villains, with constant tales of several dogs behind the scenes attacking several cast members.

Miss Wallace posted:HOW FAR DOES THIS RABBIT HOLE GO?? One of the episodes was set at a jail they cleared out to do scenes there, and there was a scene between a prisoner and our friend, Ersatz Gwynplaine Not-Mauser having a fist fight through the courtyard and a cell. The cell ends with a struggle on a bed, where either the former occupant or the set designer decided to lay down some cheesecake next to the bed that included, for some reason, a scene of a woman getting poo poo on her mouth. As much folk like to call Kommissar Rex shlock, at least it wasn't Inspector Max.

Miss Wallace posted:One ep I skimmed a bit on youtube featured them showing a 12-year-old's corpse. While not particularly graphic, it looks like it has about the same tonal whiplash as Tequila and Bonetti. Also I recall a "Co-workers fakes rape" plot on one of the episodes as well. The episode that involved the prison on Inspector Max for some reason had a picture that came on a news report on the same tv station as evidence of child pornography according to some Interpol agent's laptop, and it was blown into poster size on the daughter's room. From watching the scene, you could see the actor playing the grandpa rushingly putting himself in front of it and talking to the daughter across the room because he just noticed the hosed up set dressing. They cut the scene afterwards on the youtube version, along with the struggle that decided to have making GBS threads on mouth porn as background. To this day I don't know why they did that.

Wasn't stuff like Rose Of Versailles done with French Cooperation tho? I seem to recall them having a dub theme worth a poo poo that was headed by the original group, even if it had an hilariously subpar theme. That this isn't an hard stretch as to how the french wrote lyrics for the generiques. poo poo, I wouldn't be surprised if it was done in a fit of anger against the "Goldoraks".

They were way, way nicer to Call of Juarez so probably they got embarrassed from watching it and decided to try to not repeat another piece of apologia to the next "This game looks like it was carved out of Gavin McInnes's noggin" piece. Broteam also chased around Anita Sarkeesian screaming anti-jewish and anti-armenian poo poo at her so yeah, they didn't exactly play the game with a "blank state". Sidenote: I kind of like that Clickbait became such a feared aspect that I don't know what is the most ludicrous aspect of that particular nonsense: SavedYouAClick once deeming a confirmed government warning telling people not to go to the sea on a region because of a nasty plankton infection that would gently caress up people bad as hysterical clickbait or Cracked not changing their policy on titling poo poo after the 10th or 20th "every other site makes you click on stupid poo poo because of titles!

Yeah, it's the sort of game that asks you to put a 3 number password as the final thing to get the ending and more or less looks at the player and goes "So, given everything you just saw, what password you think it goes here?". And then you put the first thing you're thinking of and yes, that's indeed the password.
