Reuben Langdon (Dante of DMC) blames sexual harassment victims; thinks MeToo and BLM"goes too far" UPDATE: Regrets nothing; Capcom never investigated

Lmao imagine using this story as ammo in petty character wars.Nothing but respect for MY Dante
IS HE SO BAD NOW? HUH?
Yeah he's still pretty bad but at least he doesn't have this hanging over his head.
its a line that is tied intrinsically into the first season of True Detective, where it became popular again. there, a serial killer uses it and the idea is kinda adopted by one of the twin detectives. on the surface it means basically that "history repeats" but if looked into it deeper its actually tied into the idea of eternal recurrence, which is fundamental for understanding some of Nietzsche's works. (I actually think the line originated from Thus Spoke Zarathustra originally, but I'm not too sure.)
not quite my cup of tea but that's Nietzsche for ya. I'd start there if you want more info cause digging in this would be like taking a philosophy class and I don't have that kinda time lol
This and just recently the DmC comment he made, have made me realize how flawed of a of a person he is. I mean yeah you never want to idolize someone because you're always going to be disappointed by the reality of it, but it sucks that his opinions are so....terrible.
What was this DmC comment lol
I cant imagine it being worse than this unless he called everyone who liked it a slur or something
He actually cleared up his comment regarding Itsuno and DmC:
I don't dislike Dante but he kinda feels like a character stuck in the past, but maybe that's the point. Nero def feels a bit more modern.
It would be nice to keep all discussions of DmC vs DMC away from this thread. Especially since the topic at hand isn't something to laugh at.
It's fine to have preferences. But not every thread needs those versus contents.

I found out about the DmC interview before this one, where he talks about Itsuno going to quit Capcom, and that Itsuno was less then happy about DmC even though him, Inafune, and Capcom wanted the change in direction, which idk how Reuben got this info in the first place but Itsuno's stated multiple times he likes DmC. Take that as you will but Reuben just throwing that out there stoked fires that should've stayed dead.
Glad to see him clarify 4 days after the fact, its a shame media sites have already spun it as a DmC hate piece and most people have already moved on and won't bother. I do appreciate him clarifying that though. Though Reubens been making a lot of waves lately in the media, which I wonder how Capcom will take that.
Getting back, jeez didn't know how much involvement Reuben had with mo-cap in certain projects!
Just hope this gets headlined more and more and maybe (hopefully) companies begin to distance themselves from Reuben.

this dude screams "dumbass regressive person" in a way that takes me back to the brief period of time when people called other people woke as a genuine compliment
like, after reading all this, I find myself appreciating my ###woke family and friends and fellow forum-goers who can maneuver around a conversation about sexual harassment without coming across like a complete fool

Reuben langdon believes in Q....jesus christ...you have to be a far right Trumpist to even have a inkling of that nonsense...our society is sick with a disease. And BLM and MeToo stuff...yeah that's pretty much a wrap for him
What did he say about DmC ?
Edit: just saw your earlier post ;)
Sounds like bullshit :D

People here clearly don't understand that people are not in charge of 8chan. It's a platform for free speech which started to become a really nice hangout place for racist etc. Don't compare NZ Mass shooting to a public figure having a harmless opinion.
I for one am completely convinced of your sincerity and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I'm glad you signed up to post this. Look forward to your future postings while they last.
8chan... The place that was founded from those banned from 4chan? Because they were too awful for even 4chan? That 8chan?
Don't judge them! It's just a really nice place for racists to hang out!
Also I hate how much I've learnt about 8chan this past month...
No, I think that people do understand how 8chan is operated and how being a "platform for free speech" has actually lead to it being a total flaming garbage fire in an overflowing rubbish pit where people can spew whatever hateful, vile nonsense they want, brigading and hate movements can congregate and plan, and people like the Christchurch shooter engage with and play to that scumbag audience.
Eh, play it and enjoy it. idk how it works with motion capture, but VAs don't get royalties for the games anyway. Sucks for them (like, it's a legitimate issue, especially with AAA games that turn HUGE profits), but in this case, you can probably rest easy.
The DmC quote is probably true. I don't think Itsuno likes being wheeled out to help fix products, it takes time away from him doing things he wants. He can like DmC but I don't think he liked being made to work on it after initial reaction to the game wasn't hot.
Reuben was already a bit nutty, he probably got a lump sum already so he got paid already.

The problem isn't so much that Itsuno liked or disliked being put on the project thats debatable. It's the fact that Reuben somehow "knew" the details of it, ran his mouth on an interview, and let everyone "take" out of context his comments about DmC, he already didn't like the fact that the game got made, but it took him 4 days to back track all that shit. Probably at Capcom's demand.
OP

I'm worried that it is, yeah... Capcom responded to both Newsweek and Eurogamer that his views doesn't reflect their own and the comment sent specifically to Eurogamer stated they were also looking into it, but nothing since. Hopefully they actually are working on this internally, and it wasn't just a PR reply to get them off their case.
It's so ridiculous that he says that people need to start forgiving, because no one should forgive a person who
1. Doesn't think they did anything wrong, or
2. Isn't asking for forgiveness or doing anything that suggests that they feel bad.
Forgiveness is a fancy way to say "stop complaining about white men"

For what it's worth he already made his money before you purchased your copy. Also, this isn't like the Dragon Quest scenario where the only hope of detaching him from the series is his death. If people make enough of a stink I could see Capcom changing things up for DMC6 (it's just a matter of people making a big enough stink really).
EDIT: I mean, Capcom hasn't shown a ton of loyalty RE voice actors as they ditched beloved actors for the RE2 remake in favor of non-union actors. Now that the DMC series has been reestablished I'm sure Capcom would be fine with replacing him in future games.

Well, erdrick is basically confirmed and is owned by an even bigger POS with sugiyama. Persona guy isn't too good either.
I love how much those who hate us are always up-to-date on us, which means they are reading ResetEra. Jealous, angry little fucks.
What are the odds that Langdon thinks Dante's passing of the torch is a conspiracy to get him removed from the series?
Sean schemmel is by all reports a good guy, if that sort of thing matters for Smash
there's some good stuff here, I can't blame them tbh
Capcom will still give his business money if they keep working for Just Cause.
It is going to be problem for anyone to give his business money.
I suppose this was his way of warning people years ago.
God, let this roller coaster end.
He probably doesn't know what CP is...
???????? He liked my tweet?
At least I fucking hope 😬
???????? He liked my tweet?
First thought was that he has no idea what CP means yeah... He must think it means Conspiracy Paranormal or CaPcom... ><
huh
???????? He liked my tweet?
maybe he's going for a "I respect your opinion. remember when we respected opinions?" kind of thing
You're not wrong but it's not like Just Cause Productions is the only company out there that does this kind of work. Capcom can change this.
Capcom aren't the only ones thought. Just Cause has to be really competitive for what they offer. Sony, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, EA, all work with them. They provide a large range of cinematic services for games and have offices in Japan and LA.
Could be. I don't see any likes on my tweet now, though--maybe he accidentally hit the like button, or misunderstood that I was criticizing him.
idk, I get why some people might not use the full word--Twitter, for instance, has character limits, and it's possible that the full word might trigger someone more than the abbreviation? but at the same time I get that people who just use the abbreviation might be doing it so others don't know what it means.
