    Can we go back to the days where RPGs were all modable, and there would be a sketchy website with horny cosmetic mods for every possible orientation and preference, and nobody really talked about it?

      I was just thinking about that too lol. People have done this shit forever but they used to do it with the mentality of “I’m a perverted little piglet who like smut and should be ashamed” and they would behave with the appropriate level of shame. Whereas now they think they’re fucking freedom fighters for this shit and they think being horny and sexualizing every possible female character is somehow subversive? Just orders of magnitude more annoying. I miss the days when these folks kept their perversions appropriately sequestered to their quite little corner of the internet.

        i don’t think “behaving with shame” is the good part, and the shame mostly comes from the same weird ass shit as the modern-day horny freedom fighters. It’s all just sexual pathology, and in a sane community people would keep those things sequestered to separate spaces because not everyone wants to see them, not because they’d feel internal shame for it

        I think it’s concerning that even this leftist website can only conceive of sexual stuff in a binary of shame or objectification, with no middle ground or acknowledgement of a radically feminist reconstruction of sexuality.

          I acknowledge the correctness of what you’re saying while also responding with the suggestion that you are perhaps over intellectualizing my completely unserious desire to shame all gamers for their collective preoccupation with jiggle physics

            ok that’s valid jiggle physics suck anyways

            Edit: unless it’s applied everywhere and the end result is generic male bandit #269 having their stomach collide with the floor at the incorrect angle and shredding the entire gpu cache

            And seriously, if you write a joke that sounds like a serious statement, I WILL respond to it as if it is one. And plus I don’t even think g*mers should feel shame over getting their horny kicks out of jiggle physics in games, I think shaming people for things like that is outright harmful. I DO take issue with said g*mers taking that fantasy of booby jiggle physics women and expecting both all IRL women to be like that and expecting depictions of women to be like that, and that’s what this whole AI g*mer’s “edit” is, just gross entitled g*mer shit.

        I don’t think gooners and the actual perverts (not people who simply like smut, but constantly sex-brained creeps) ever had shame tbh. It’s not a new thing, it’s just new mediums for them to be creeps on (internet, gaming) rather than real life. They’re no different from the age-old “creepy uncle”/“catcalling neanderthal”/“moral paragon who loses control when they see an exposed ankle” crowd.

    Why does everything have to be porn to these freaks? Video games, movies, TV shows, they wanted to bring porn to fucking Lemmy

    I know the volcel-judge are a meme, but I unironically love it so much and our site culture in general. It’s so nice to have at least one space online that isn’t yet another porn site.

    I can’t help but be triggered to effortpost by this. I know I said something to this effect in the other thread you made, and I’m glad to see many others here saying the same thing, but holy shit dude, this guy should just look at porn. It’s clearly all these dudes want to do, just goon their lives away. There’s something so deeply unsettling to me about this specific combination of militaristic murderdeath with bullets penetrating flesh, and this juvenile pornographic and dehumanized perspective on more than half of the human race. It just betrays this libidinal desire from their id that just wants to violently murderrape women. Even if they’re incels who are too physically and emotionally incompetent to even get close to achieving that, the fact that there are (if not large in number, certainly vocal) men who think like this and who stoke each other’s desires is terrifying as a woman. It’s not hard to imagine at a certain point the wires get crossed and the fantasies of power through violence get misdirected at the “objects” of their erotic attraction.

    Like, I love something like Ion Fury, right? acab-3 of course, but that shooter feels like a power fantasy for all genders with just a little bit of cheesecake. She’s hot and powerful and violent, but it never feels like agency is being taken away from her or that she literally just exists as an object to be jacked off over.

    Whatever this “improvement” is supposed to be probably can’t even be described as a primarily sexual thing, it seems mostly based on a seething hatred of women in any role except sexual subservience. Which isn’t actually sexual, just an example of someone’s brainworms around sex.

    God this is so real, @EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net. While the constant feed of porn and “gooning” play a clear part of this, I think you’re right that at its core is a deep hatred of women. It’s not even about sex, I imagine many of them would actually be repulsed at the thought of actual physical intimacy. Maybe DE was right and that really is the ultimate starting point of fascism.

    dubois-depressed

    It’s self-evident, but these men just hate women. They have such clear annoyance and contempt for them. They feel so entitled to women’s bodies from media brainwashing and nearly 6000 years of overwhelmingly patriarchal world history. They see not letting them cum in you as an affront, as real violence against their fragile egos. “How dare you?!” They don’t even want to see women happy. They want women to prioritize literally everyone except themselves. They don’t want to see women self-actualize and be beautiful and powerful on their own terms. They just want to jack off to disposable second-class citizens to feel any sort of power.

    Can you even fucking imagine hating women like that? Its hard for me to conceive. The women of the world, who endure and give so fucking much. Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Friends.

    How are these fascist men even human anymore at that point?

    how-compelling wall-flipped

    wall. wall. all of them. wall. its kinder than they deserve.

    grillman: “I want improved graphics.”

    porky-happy: “Ok here you go.”

    grill-broke: “VIDYA BETRAYED US RIGHT WING MEN!”

    By that logic, Baldur’s gate 3 must be the most conservative game of all since it lets you play as a woman who can streak in-game, uncensored.

    angry-place weakest goon material ever. Either head back to the goon caves for regoonification, or simply becum a sexless republican that goes awooga over Booba and blow up doll mouf. Make actual inspired goontactular art, or leave your anti-woke goon mitts off of badass heroines and their sacred franchises. (Trying to circle the bit around arguments against Mary Sue shoehorning that the hogs still can’t stop complaining about, meanwhile they had decades of homoerotic greased up Ubermench to fawn over and shape themselves around, both ways ;3)

    If a sweaty nerd putting bigger boobs on comic book characters via photoshop was a thing in the simpsons people would say it’s a bad bit because it’s too on the nose. But no, this is our bluecheck dumb ass reality.

    Isn’t Sonja Blade in her 40s (almost 50s) in the new MKs? Cassie Cage is a full-grown woman and unless A Sonja had her when she was under 20 (ew). If anything, Sonja Blade should be older looking.

          People complained about it but I actually loved how Johnny Cage developed as he became more and more of a dad. Like, they actually made a version of Johnny Cage I liked by the end of Raiden’s Era.

              Honestly, when the only other family-related storyline we’ve gotten in the FGC is “jesus christ someone needs to break up the Mishima Zaibatsu so these mfs stop dropping each other down volcanoes”, the Cages look downright wholesome ad nontoxic in comparison
