this. I was gonna say gotcha, but same difference. Horrible impulse control will lead to horrible life choices in general.

It's a red flag true. I am not into history at all but I dig it sm when a moid is hyper into ww2. I don't even care if it's a red flag

idc if he is ~~~problematic~~~ or whatever, I cannot resist the squid for he is the hottest character in the game with the best romance scene
I would volunteer to be an illithid thrall unironically, if I was my Tav my entire party would immediately die at the nautiloid crash site because I tried to kiss the dying mind flayer </3

>>36851
also why is Nere in A tier, real Menzoberranzan patriots would never put a filthy male in the same tier as Minthara. Nere radiates third son energy even more than Gale

any kind of lolislop media and honestly harem stuff too. but the loli stuff is an immediate red flag, avoid at all cost type of thing

It was my favorite anime too, but I never really shipped any of the characters together. I just love it for the story and its heavy character focused drama, though I did find the romance interesting. I am not sure about the remake thou, I usually hate remakes.

I just finished the manga, can anyone tell me if there are any differences with the anime?

I don't have much faith in MAPPA but im happy this franchise is getting light again

>>36679
the anime drops a lot of the manga's comedy in favor of being more dramatic. It's definitely worth reading both the manga and watching the anime.

I really don't understand why all movies/shows set during the French Revolution try to make us sympathise and feel bad for the nobles, as if they weren't literal depraved parasites leeching off a starving population

I love Reshiram so much. It's such a stupid design, with thin ass long neck, fat round body, crotch tuft, awkward wings and jet engine but, but somehow the outcome is very majestic and graceful.
I love you, stupid bird-dog-engine of truth

This is an unimaginative choice, but Mewtwo is pretty good because its stats are very high. Only legendary/mythical Pokemon have stats this high.

I also love slowpoke!

As a child I saw that movie about Mewtwo and thought it was the deepest thing ever.

>>37222
that movie is still kino

I got temp banned from their discord for saying that we should get equally sexy male outfits, like Hideki naked with a wet towel covering his animated bulge while he blushes. It's exactly the same shit they do with Sawako and many others, but I got insulted, told I was making everyone uncomfortable, and that "this isn't a game for such sexual things!!" lol men are such cowards

>>37135
Use the sega mahjong app!

I have just stopped with public discords entirely. They're all full insufferable of moids lusting over little girls.

I don't like having games on my phone, is there an application of it that I can run on my laptop?

just wanted to share how well ren matches against the new free bg!!

someone is about to get banished to the lands of the yi

Oolong who was actively terrorizing a village, (subtext raping prepubscent village girls)
did you watch that episode? the village girls pretty much using him as a credit card. After they get to his hideout and his transform timer runs out made it obvious that Oolong wasn't strong enough to even over power a little girl
he would have been pitiable if he wasn't the type to abuse power if he had any.

Japanese males are sex pests. This is a pretty well known thing. Child porn is easily accessible. Parents pimp out their kids to idol agencies, they allow for soft core porn shoots of kids. Male sexual offenders get off super easy. Men take upskirt shots and film every available female around them, adults, teens, toddlers, grannies, ect. Media reflect the culture that produces it. That's why perverted pedo males are so common in anime

The dirty old person is just a trope from stories. Exists in a lot of cultures but anime has its extreme take on it.

They’re used to be dirty old women as well but they stopped showing up in anime/manga some time in the 70’s/80s

Instead all the dirty women came to CC and /trash/

>one of the few universal taboos
Year old post but worth noting that historically it cannot be considered universal. Egypt around 1st-3rd century AD featured 15%-20% marriages in the general population (not just elite) being brother-sister marriages, most of them between full siblings. This was in a social context where women's independence was very high for the time, too: property was split equally between sons and daughters, women held property to their own name, and they could divorce husbands at will. Ancient Iran also saw sibling incest as holy and their religion encouraged it until Islam took over.

At present, it is looked down everywhere to a greater or lesser extent. Only difference is whether the law punishes it or not. But it's not an ironclad rule of nature, as the past shows.

>>37201
Every pre-Abrahamic society celebrated sibling incest

It just skirts a bit too close to the ‘video games cause violence’ school of thought for my taste. I reject the mentality outright.
While true that someone could develop healthy interests from a fictional character, I don’t think social engineering should be the focus of entertainment.

>>37197
"How it should be" and "how it is" are very different things. Entertainment has been used for social engineering since time immemorial.

>>37190
It's a conflation of "Game is bad" with "female leads". Unfortunately, a lot of devs put female main characters in games without making them either good gameplay-wise of story-wise, and use it as a shield for criticism. The same problem with movies.
Women leads are generally the face of those writers/devs so they associate subconciously girl lead = shit

I do have my own "bad take" regarding the visual elements of new Marathon.

Original Marathon was for its time at a normal level of gore, but by today standards it was very gory. Far moreso than a lot of retro shooter games, though less than the modern Doom games.

People did not just bleed a little, grab their chest and fall over. The game used different death animations dependent on cause of death. They were turned into red mulch and finished their explosion animation dozens or hundreds of meters away from the point where they were explode-shot. They had entrails and offal and bone and their death screams were recorded by a man who was also a lead singer in a band. People would kill civilians with the flamethrower just to hear the unique flame death scream. The video documentary of the college boys who coded the game showed them high fiving after triggering a mass explosion of a bunch of different people with a grenade shot, and the word "carnage" was very prominent both in game and in marketing for it.

If you've only played Doom (original, unmodded, when it only had 1 death animation per enemy), or haven't played any boomer shooters before, and are interested in trying Marathon out–pay some attention to how people die. The humans have two or three different death animations depending on whether a weapon made an enemy (or innocent citizen) bleed, burn, or burst apart–this is more attention than was paid to some of the alien enemies, and in Marathon 2 the multiplayer human enemy death animations are really very good. The means of violence generated a specific visual consequence, and human blood is specifically an important visual and gameplay element because if anyone bleeds anything other than red then they are bombs in human form and will run up to you and explode in a shower of entrails that will also take away half of your health and kill anyone nearby.

Original Marathon had zero (0) female sprites, only an omnipresent disembodied feminine artificial intelligence character with no associated image at all. There was a retro style game whose creator said he wanted to carry over the visual language and gameplay of Original Marathon, but used primarily female-presenting (mostly femboy) sprites–it was called "Citadel" and most of its reviews in English mention how deeply uncomfortable, ero-guro-esque and stomach churning the introduction of female characters to the charnel house of a Marathon-stylPost too long.

With a little consideration I think what made Marathon gore hit different was really that it was very "readable." Especially in the context of four-or-more multiplayer matches. So it's not really any closer to Citadel than to New Marathon.

Marathon had a physics engine such that characters would be thrown in a direction by any projectile that hit them–not just special explosives–and their sprite death would face a specific direction, it would not be an animation that was always facing the player as happened in many contemporary games. If someone else killed another person and you only saw the death, then you saw enough to know the direction of the killer. And if you saw the dead body from a death that you didn't quite get to see, then you saw what kind of weaponry the killer was equipped with, and this was enough to make some playstyle decisions. Bullets in Marathon were dodge-able moving particles, not hitscans, but they are the fastest slow-moving particles in game. You'd want to remain around some obstacles if you were dealing with a bullet death since the weapons that can reasonably cause bullet deaths have mid- and long- range advantage that makes open ground a bad option. If they were explosion deaths, then you would want to try to get to open ground and if you were using the AR you'd want to switch to something orientated more towards mid and long range, or an explosive weapon if you can keep eyes on the points of egress. And if it was a flame death then you'd probably want either higher ground with an explosive weapon or open ground with a shorter range one, but would want to avoid cover and enclosed spaces.

It does seem odd that both of the culturally significant modernized successors to Marathon would receive twitter hate specifically for their handling of deliberately female and androgynous-male character forms. Citadel for being far, far, far too anime and Marathon for being not quite anime enough. Citadel is gorier, by a lot, but the gore has a very different feel to it. Marathon and its weapons and death animations were designed and balanced around the multiplayer deathmatches the dev team had gotten caught up in, so the readability of the deaths was probably intentional and a deliberate way to keep the game flowing when you had anything above a two player match. Citadel was single player only, and every videPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
