I'm legitimately unsure how much of a significant difference there is, given that writing itself hasn't really changed all that much. You can find the same tropes and cliches in thousands of years of literature and in any other media really. I don't think either are inherently bad, and it's usually moving against what is popular or common that makes them acceptable (which isn't really new so much as it's just pushing against the times - for good or ill). The danger is more that moving against them doesn't necessarily mean condemnation of them. Which is where a lot of series and designs find their problems.
I hope you're not thinking of talking shit about Miraculous Ladybug >:(((
Something I wish more people would understand instead of using the words trope and cliche interchangeably.
the fact that most gamers are willing to blindly accept this kind of shit without even thinking twice about it makes me want to eat cyanide
Same, honestly. I skipped XC2 even though it seemed like the kind of game I'd enjoy gameplay-wise, just because the designs are way too much. I have a limited amount of time and money, and I'm not gonna spend either on games that make me even slightly uncomfortable.
The robot part isn't the problem.
It is the literal inverse of the 1000 year old dragon trope.
You know that this kind of thing in the general sense exists, and is very real. Ever heard of the furry fandom? However, it doesn't change the fact it only shows up in games when the target of lust is to hourglass framed humans as a pitiful excuse to shoehorn such things in
While some of this has to do with sexism, I tend to think it's the socialist themes that make those people angry. It's difficult to mythologize a speculative reality when so many are about the breakdown of society that naturally occurs at some great expense (usually related to the natural failings of capital).
I still don't get that game, so apparently robots have surpassed us in everything. Including creativity so now nobody does anything creative or something?
I'm checking out the vice article and it's this weird act of him setting up a defense that he does support certain ideas following with "but what if it was BADDDD!"
It totally is and it's super dumb.
the true darkness that you can't be a sexist jerk without consequences, oh wow the horror
I think MS at least took quite a few steps away from the game after the E3 showing
It's pretty surprising that MS even picked up the game with how Soret had previously described what the game entailed
I'd say they were too distracted by it being pretty to look at.
But for the majority of the game/cutscenes she is a child. The whole "Poppi's a kid... but now she's hot! Woo!" thing is gross and harmful. In the real world I've heard stories of women who were catcalled etc from as young as 10 years old.
I'm not! xD It's just silly that they are so oblivious to each other in unviserse. I just find it little weird when some shippers argue over which of the two "pairs" are the best but they are all still using the same two people. Like really?
Ladybug/Adrien is cutest because they like each other so much so they act dorky and adorable when they're around each other ;_; but yeah I hope there aren't actual ship wars about it because that would be.... super dumb lol
I've seen it but I hope people were doing it in jest haha But yeah, Ladrian is adorable, though Ladynoir is the best ship name of the four. :P
The sad part is, this idea on its own is a legitimate fear for a lot of people. Arguably even a valid one. Taking pride in one's work, even if it's not creative, isn't bad. Although living for only work is, even if it is creative. Probably. Whatever, nuance. Point is, these oh-so-funny generated Harry Potter books will one day be less comical and more legitimate. Technology is gonna get better and better over time, even at things that currently seem unattainable. I mean, even if it never gets that good, the fear is still there.
