I liked how Pynchon repeatedly brought up Metal Gear and Kojima in Bleeding Edge. Gravity's Rainbow is definitely a big MGS inspiration and a boss that gets boners that tell him where bombs are going to land would fit in perfectly.

rudatron posted:Its important to remember that the human flaws that lead to Fake News (confirmation bias, rationalization, preference for validation seeking over falsification) aren't new, and have existed so long as people have. What is new is the ability for people of like minded people to aggregate, and form their own communities. The bifurcation and polarization of these communities, and the corresponding internal development of ideology, has intensified. The speed of the dialectical process has increased. It presents great risk, but also great opportunity. Ideologies can now manifest in a purer form then before, without being moderated by outside dependency. Kojima was also commenting on then current trends in Japanese society, and Japan was a ahead of the west in terms of the consequences of late stage capitalism clearly manifesting in the mental health of its citizens. Before incels, Japan had hikkikomori, NEETs, Otaku, and a host of other varieties of manchild. The chief difference between Japan and other countries who have these problems now is that Japan's basement dwellers are ever so slightly less prone to going on killings sprees.

Let us English posted:Japan's basement dwellers are ever so slightly less prone to going on killings sprees. true but the lineage is still there: mgs2 owes a lot to evangelion, parts of which were inspired by the aum shinrikyo sarin attacks. and anyway disregarding the eva influence, the aum shinrikyo stuff weighed pretty heavily on people of kojima's generation Mia Wasikowska has issued a correction as of 10:02 on Jun 20, 2018 |

Is there a political meaning to making Vamp bisexual or is that Kojima just throwing darts at attributes for his villains and landing on "vampire" and "bisexual" and "full of nanomachines" Is it just a pun on the word "vamp" Why can he run on the water

Vamp can run on water because its cool and makes for good gameplay, that's it. As long as it's semi believable its fine. Subtext > canon.

You also kill a bunch of neofascists in the sequels, which owns. Also the games remove some of Clancy's jingoism so it's basically just a story about international counterterrorism in a very pre-9/11 context.
