That's what really gets me. Because when someone steps up to say what's happened to them, there invariably is some mob that tries to brand them as liars and try to ruin their lives.
Those GU games were really... something.You know, since .Hack came up, I want to talk about Pi. This is what she looks like.
I like .Hack and I even like Pi personality wise, but of course she's that usual anime trope where she's sexed up for no reason and it doesn't particularly factor into her character. But, whatever, I could have bought the whole 'she WANTS to look this way' thing giving that this is her avatar in an online game, buuuut then you find something out that makes her design especially creepy. Long story short, before her brother died, he made this character for her and she considers it a memento. Yeeeaaah. If this was a video game character my brother left for me to play as, I'd shove it into the character editor so fast. LOL
Ironically enough, in the Roots anime, when she's roll playing a different character, that's pretty much the only time she acts sexual at all, although she does that by pretty much sexually assaulting Haseo and of course because its girl on guy there suddenly ain't anything wrong with that. Even in that anime though, once she drops that character for Pi, she becomes all business just like the games and that over-sexualized design has no bearing on how she acts in any way. It's fanservice for the sake of fanservice and its more of a detriment to her character than anything else. She even gets over the top jiggle physics for pre-rendered cutscenes that always hits at the worst moments and even turns one scene that's supposed to be dramatic into something that's almost comedic.
Even the novelization dropped all pretenses and just straight up described her as a 'fetishistic teacher', despite that STILL not factoring into her character at all.
Oh, and of course this is one of the unlockable pictures for her in the games that you are able to use as a wallpaper....
What are some examples of cases in Europe where high profile people got their careers ruined do to committing sexual assault? I am honestly ignorant on this.
Oh, for sure, it's not an issue with the game, more in how predictable the way it gets used on the internet.
Creepers gonna creep...
Anne Sofie von Otter, the widow of resigned Stockholm Theatre CEO and theatre chief blamed Me Too movement and tabloids on her husband's suicide. Fredriksson was accused of allowing the culture of sexual harassment/abuse and of sexual harassment himself. Also of authoritarian leadership, including pressuring an actor to an abortion.
Leap to conclusions much? I didn't say 'otaku' because they are Japanese, I said 'otaku' because they are computer game fans sharing pictures of characters with weird connotations.
It doesn't prove anything. When you have to add so many descriptives in order to find a gotcha, it comes across as weirdly defensive. If you think it's weird to consider people out there sharing this stuff, obsessed with taking something fun and turning it into female characters blushing and in compromising positions or borderline sexual assault, as 'otaku', then you do you I suppose. I find it really creepy, and wasn't talking about the people who just find Zelda blushing to be cute. More the 'Lucina with her legs in the air', or check out the Era thread for more.
So hang on:
Ha, OK, I think that's cleared things up- apologies if my post wasn't clear what I was taking aim at initially everyone, my bad. You too Choppasmith , obviously there's loads of innocent fun to be had with Smash screenshots and items, it's the creepy shit that followed and took over that I thought was inevitable, as you say we're on the same page.
Not all otaku are creepy weirdos, but the odds are good all the creepy weirdos doing that crap are otaku.
Otaku is widely understood as fanboys, this isn't a misunderstanding on your part.
Pretty much. What a weird thing to get overly annoyed about.

SO I'm playing Jotun atm and it's an interesting action adventure game. Think the style of Legend of Zelda of sorts.
You have a hub world and from there enter stages that can involve solving some light puzzles or navigating through them while dodging hazards.
It's a pretty chill game for the most part, esp. when there's not combat...among other things >_>;
Anyways this is the protagonist, Thora
Really like her deisgn although gameplay wise it's not a game that's gonna take a while to get used to its controls due to her slow swinging of her sword, meaning you can't go blitzing in like say Diablo. Also the ingame map won't state your actual location so you gotta make it out from your surroundings and current position in a stage.
Persona 5, maybe? Soejima, the designer, said he was told to make a handful of characters more cute (though he ain't no saint himself).
I dunno, does this forum have a character limit on posts?
This isn't really one game. It's a common conversation due to the perceived male audience and a need to sell to them.
