SO, it is going to be a 2 hour ad for second life?

Do people even play second life anymore?

I bet there is catgirls in it though. Always with the catgirls. Probably updated now though with rage memes and whatever the drat kids consider "cool" these days!

I haven't read this trash pile and never will, but I hear it's also super racist and sexist. The protagonist's best friend is a chubby black lesbian who is pretending to be a white dude and there's several stereotypical Japanese characters who are worried about honor and bow to everyone they see.

arstechnica posted the trailer the other day and one of the first comments to get a million upvotes was literally a list of references they spotted in the trailer, and the second was a guy saying 'cant wait to see this with my friends and spot all the references together!'. what the gently caress is wrong with these people.

I just found out about Ready Player One and complaining about lack of minority representation or w/e in this seems really dumb because it's the absolute worst thing that's ever been put to paper and having more minorities wouldn't change that:





I'd argue the opposite honestly: having your race not be represented in this trash is a source of pride

This is how the author writes what he knows! imagine if he had to drum up some minority representation hobbled together entirely from pop culture
