Oh, yeah. We are all in a South Park episode here in America, I mean, this just feels exactly like a South Park episode. now when do those little shits solve the problem
I have noticed that news articles say it is hard for young people to separate video games from reality but they’re the ones who can’t separate the video game from reality
I used to think this too, but now I believe it might be true. With how online the young generation is I think this could possibly be closer to the truth then many of us video game defenders like myself would like to admit. Hell cuckerberg is openly trying to get everyone hooked on the meta verse and blurring the lines even more. I also think the “cool” I’m not your parent I’m your friend shit isn’t helping with not creating boundaries. Nor is parents and “doctors” eagerly accepting and pushing the use of “happy drugs” to get those kids sedated helping this , it’s maybe the biggest issue .. and do people playing along with this gender is fluid Bullshit good for society. Why is hard to believe that kids are having trouble putting video games in proper perspective when adults are telling them they can be any sex ,hell it’s getting to any species at this time. You can be a cat and everyone is supposed to play along or you are a bigot. Hell you are probably one of these people that thinks it’s cool. I hope not because that’s anti science and anti reality . So if you are pushing this anti reality why do you think ths is so far fetched? These games are getting closer to reality then ever and it’s a hell of a lot closer to reality then saying you can just swap sexes or species and actually become the opposite sex. These people have tricked people like you into playing along with their delusions. So more then ever the dangers. Of video game being played out in the real world is poignant

Well I mean it's the same people who shill for a destructive ideology responsible for deaths of hundreds of millions of people, so it's not that odd that they can't tell good from bad.
Remember when PETA made “Super Tofu Boy” and the people at Team Meat added Tofu Boy as the WORST character in Super Meat Boy. You just had to type “petaphile” on the character select screen and select Meat Boy. More games need to do this in the industry.
Game journalists be like: So, In the original Mario, Mario jumps on goombas, and studies have shown that Mario is 5.1 feet tall, that means that the goombas are 2.5 feet tall. 2.5 can be a height, or an age, and hitler was 2.5 years old once, meaning that MARIO IS RACIST!!!
@Calvin Woodruff No, game journalists think Mario is a mass murderer of several innocent creatures that supports toxic masculinity and white colonialism. . .Yes, really, and as someone who has actually played Mario's games, I can tell you the many, MANY problems with that idea. Mario 1. Is a brave, humble hero that regularly fights AGAINST tyrants, and card-carrying villains that brag about how evil they are, and he fights AGAINST them because it's the right thing to do. 2. Has no problem accepting help from females, whether it's Princess Peach, Goombella, or the many other females he has accepted help from in the past. 3. Never makes fun of men for crying and expressing sadness. 4. Has shown to be more than capable of solving problems with non-violent solutions when possible. 5. Has worked together with people that are part of species that he normally fights against (Goombas, Koopas, Bob-ombs, Boos, etc.) and not only does he never express any bigotry, or discomfort from doing so, but he has also developed strong friendships with said people (Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, etc.) 6. Showed genuine kindness to and befriended Vivian (Paper Mario: TTYD), who is highly implied (In the original Japanese version) to be transgender and he never once showed any problems with it. 7. Is Italian (You know, an ethnicity that have been widely historically discriminated against, even by white bigots). 8. Was created by a Japanese man (Shigeru Miyamoto) and his games are created by a Japanese video game company (Nintendo), which makes all the game journalists that insist Mario is racist because of "white game devs that have feelings of racial superiority in themselves" all the more dumb. Meanwhile, Ghost Of Tsushima is hated by game journalists despite having an all Asian cast (Japanese and Mongolian to be specific) solely because said game was made by an American company (Sucker Punch) and they (The game journalists) hate it to the point of getting mad at how people in Japan love and praise the game. I would also like to point out that the complaints of bigotry that game journalists made towards Mario happened when Paper Mario: The Origami King came out (Which was also the same day that Ghost of Tsushima came out). In that game, Mario fights against a bigoted, perfectionist king that wants to kill every single one of the toads. . .Yes, Mario fights AGAINST a king that wants to commit GENOCIDE and game journalists think Mario's actions are that of a murderous, colonialist bigot. If you want to know why so many people dislike/hate game journalists, here is one of the many reasons why.
The person calling out the persona 5 soundtrack was trying to take a stand against some vague nondescript injustices, but instead ended up being accidentally racist. Messed up part is a quick google search would have shown them the lyrics and also that Lyn Inaizumi is Japanese. Plus Lyn is an incredible singer, her accent gives her style a lot of charm.
She makes the Persona 5 soundtrack iconic. Btw for those wondering the lyrics are "retort it" it's from the song "wake up, get up, get out there" the opening song to the original Persona 5 game
That sort of thing happens pretty frequently. People who have the "call out" mindset (for lack of a better term) have a tendency to not think about what they're saying. It's a knee-jerk reaction, mixed with a hefty dose of hypersensitivity that all too often becomes pareidolia, with them seeing problematic statements everywhere.
No...... not enough disrespect, they need to be killed by the energy pistol *uncharged,* grenade their corpse and then absolutely un-load multiple mags of assault rifle on them while teabagging

Cooper Lawrence (the person complaining about Mass Effect) actually had one of her books bombarded by one-star reviews. Some of them were pretty funny, working in phrases like "I hope this book does not have a mass effect on the populace" to prevent amazon deleting them for being irrelevant. I don't really feel bad for her though as there are also plenty of valid reviews criticising the book as "pop-psychology" or "pseudo-psychology", advertising quick fixes for real problems.
Games “journalist”: “This game promotes anti-communist propaganda.” My Immigrant friends who suffered under and ultimately escaped Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe and China: “Excellent! Sign us up for more!”
Game journalist: Capitalism is for the greedy and evil who just produce lots of bad products to rip off consumers. Also game journalist: *Spews out hundreds of articles without fact checking so they can mass produce lies to get as much money as possible*
It’s always impressive to me how people have hung on to a reactionary pamphlet written in the face of a world fresh off the heels of the Industrial Revolution where workers’ rights laws didn’t exist and businesses had far more power than they do now and firmly defend it as the ideal economic system no matter how many times we see that attempts to implement this system proliferates government corruption and oppression.
This behavior is nothing new. I'll bet I'm not the only one who grew up in the 90's who had parents telling them video games are a waste of time while they would spend their off time watching TV.
@愛してるよ!私は毛皮です。 death is never the answer dude. See a therapist. Learn to see the good in life. You craft your own view of the world. I’d prefer my view of the world to be positive, but if you want to be depressed, go ahead. And don’t take it out on others. That’s how serial killers are born.
6:34 this exactly is the problem. I remember when I was a child, my parents would always tell me “remember, this is a game. It’s not real” and that statement alone shaped my perception on video games.
That's just as bad as when someone tried to criticize guns but then called automatic: "fully semi-automatic" Like what the fuck are they even on about then? 💀💀💀💀
At least with a movie you can read or watch an in-depth synopsis and have some idea of what you're talking about. With a game, so much comes down to how it feels to play.
@Christov S L Toreh What makes that interview even dumber is that both the woman, Cooper Lawrence (and Fox News) somehow thought Mass Effect, this "Rated M For Mature Audiences" game, was aimed at children (or more specifically young boys). They thought an M-rated game that was originally released on XBox 360 (A console that at the time was widely considered the "video game console for adults," and has games such Halo 3, Dead Rising, the Dead or Alive series, and the Gears Of War trilogy) and dealt with themes, such as war, bigotry, and genocide. . .was made for little boys. Furthermore, I'm very glad Geoff Keighley pointed out you could play as a FEMALE Shepard in the game, considering there are some people that either somehow don't know that detail (TED Talk) or consider games that let you pick your character's gender to "not count" as games where "diversity matters" (Anita Sarkeesian). I also find it eye-rolling when Cooper says, ". . .They don’t show women as being valued for anything other than their sexuality. . .," when all your teammates in the game including the female ones are shown to be three dimensional characters that are also great fighters (For example, Liara T'Soni is a scientist that's also a powerful biotic). For crying out loud, one of the most beloved characters in the series is Tali'Zorah, who is a female machinist that spends her whole time in an environmental suit with a one-way visor and is quite skilled with a shotgun. To top it all off, some time afterwards, Cooper later admitted, “Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it’s like pornography, but it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.” In other words, Cooper Lawrence did as much research on Mass Effect as Jack Thompson/Anita Sarkeesian did on Bayonetta (But hey, at least Cooper Lawrence eventually took an actual look at the game). Speaking of which, Jack Thompson himself, called out Fox News for this gaffe. Yes, even Jack knew how stupid this whole thing was. You don't have to like a certain video game, but if you're gonna HATE it, then please have an actual reason for doing so. Also. . .PLEASE READ THE ESRB LABEL BEFORE YOU BUY A GAME FOR YOUR CHILD. If you have time to write letters, protest against video game companies, and go on TV to complain about how M-rated games aren't family-friendly, then you have time to both check to make sure that sideways letter E on the cover isn't actually the letter M, and listen to the clerk telling you that the game isn't for children.
My favourite part of that Fox hit piece on Mass Effect were all the one star reviews on that quack's book that were like "I've never read this book, but I really don't like how it spends so much time denying the holocaust"
My male fantasy is to hug an Elite and tell them everything is okay. And then stomp on some shitters with my Vanguard class Titan. Then at 4pm sharp I meet Zavala and he debriefs me on who to kill this week
The problem with the rage bait articles is that even if it’s just to get a reaction out of the community, many developers are actually dumb enough to believe the topics these articles bring up are legitimate issues that need to be addressed. That’s why a lot of them make the claims, without receipts, that concerns are coming from gamers themselves rather than just admit they have a personal agenda they want to push to force companies to bend their way.
It also does a lot to feed the rumor mill when you factor in those who see the headline but don’t know enough to confirm what it says or maybe even don’t read anything BUT the headline, yet they keep seeing the headline so they think it’s true.
Also when there is pushback or criticism they will use it to portray themselves as victims. Then they will do anything they can to have their critics branded with any ism or phobia to discredit any and all criticism they might receive.
"they don't show Women being valued for anything other than their sexuality" Of course, that's why I brought Tali'Zorah onto the Normandy crew, definitely not because she's an incredibly intelligent, brilliant engineer, and dangerous gunslinger
That might have been the actual stupidest take I have ever encountered about ME. Like wtf, ME has great female characters, they just also happen to be sexy (saying this as a woman, before some twitter rando calls me a creep). What's the problem with that? I almost cried when I lost Tali.

you forgot: "If black people kill someone in your game its racist!" Basically, the main problem is that they dont like violent videogames and they need an argument, maybe go play something else?
Hot take: Time doing something you enjoy ultimately is the best use of your time not something productive. You only get one life. Be selfish with your time.
Omg absolutely... I literally had this exact argument as to why I'm finishing school early. I LOVE learning, right? However in gradeschool I taught myself everything that high school is supposed to teach you. High school wouldn't let me take more advanced courses because I "didn't have credits" for the simple classes. I ended up so bored and disinterested in the classes I was in that I was literally failing every one. I was put in the more private online "make up work" classes where the first thing they do is have you take GED pre-tests to see what skills you have and which ones you need to work on in order to meet standards. I aced them.. They just let me sit there now because they know I already know all the classes they were going to make me take. As soon as I'm allowed to by the district, I'll be testing out of school and getting my diploma early. Then I'll be able to work full time and save up money to move out of this horrid country... (y'know.. somewhere that it doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars every year for lifesaving medicine)

You will have more fun overall if you moderate your time correctly. Spending all your free time playing games now might be fun, but future you will have more fun if you spend atleast some of that time doing something productive. "Video games are always bad" is a bad take. "If I spend all my time playing video games" is also a bad take. Good take: Video games are fine in moderation, but you should also make sure you are acting in a way that is good for your future. Just because you want to do something or you like it a lot doesn't mean it is actually what you want. My grandfather liked smoking. That is, until he got lung cancer and died at 60, leaving behind small grandchildren that loved him. Obviously video games aren't going to kill you, but every minute you spend gaming is a minute you could've spent doing something that will make you happier in the future than the games will now. Play some video games. Also do other stuff.
Oh Halo 3 is misogynistic huh? That’s why one of the most pertinent characters to advancing the story and in a very high position basically sub commander of UNSC forces is a respected female.
shh... They dont like facts. And they seem to forget that Halo (as it is originally took many notes from Alien-saga) has multiple badass women in it: Foehammer, Cortana, CMDR Keys, multiple Marines and ODST; Capt Dare, Serina, Anders etc etc.
Yeah but that one time that the brute said to Anders (the one featured in the video its been a while since i played H3) said something that a tiny percentage of people thought meant rape completely derails this entire argument. Honestly to these people you can do all the good in the world, but do anything that could possibly suggest that something bad happens to a women/person of color and they'll eat you alive.

Won't matter to them. They think becoming a communist- oh sorry "socialist" would be a great change of pace... But with people like that it won't be hard to see how everything will fall apart rather than magically sort itself out.
I've always taken hot takes and tried to guess what "trauma" the writer never truly emotionally dealt with that is causing them to write that article. Normally I usually think it's something small and petty, like Anita Sarkesian (or however you spell it) wrote her heart out on a writing assignment but a boy in her class got a better grade when he clearly phoned the assignment in. So instead of going to the logical conclusion that maybe she isn't as informed or as eloquent as she initially believed she was, she double down and would rather listen to the 10 whack jobs in the same boat instead of doing the adult thing and trying to better herself. So basically I see people who make a living on writing hot takes as emotionally stunted nut jobs who would prefer everyone hate them rather than be wrong and correcting the issue.
I didn't even play the game or even a fan of it(more of a Half Life guy myself) but I know better not to mess with the Doom community. They're mostly decent peaceful folk, not something you usually see in most game communities(or perhaps my perspective is warped due to playing DotA2, Fo4, and Skyrim too much).

This guy is a troll, in 2018 or 19 don't remember he said Sekiro was the worst game of the year in his top 10 worst games list while it was simultaneously number 1 in his best games list. His content is still low effort trash.
"We can celebrate diversity and include unique perspectives but it has to be done in a thoughtful way otherwise it's just tokenism" And this is the problem with almost all entertainment these days.
It goes both ways though. Even really well thought out minority characters get attacked by angry gamers that just want to cry about "politics in their videogames". Any time there's an LGBT character in a game, you automatically know it's going to be controversial. I just want to play games. I'm sick of people screaming "SJW feminists are shoving this down your throat!" just because there's a gay character or something.
ive seen a comment like this on another video and he said "politicians say that violence comes from games, but since most video games are based on war, i would say games comes from them"
violence depiction is a problem? time to ban all thrillers and detective stories from television, sacrifices have to be made. also why does twitter and facebooks keep on gatekeeping.
On a real note, I understand the fact that violence can desensitize people to it, however it's not gonna be video game violence that does it. It's always a IRL problem, listen to a gang member, mafia member, or convict. The constant mount of violence makes them numb to it
@@Llama_charmersure I used to think the same thing, but my opinion is evolving, you don’t think for kids who have now grown up terminally online that now things might start getting blurry? Especially with bad parents who rather be cool I’m your friend not your parent technique that is not a good way to set boundaries. And even more so this nonsense gender ideology where children are being told they can be whatever sex they want, hell they can even be cats in even more extreme systems. And everyone is supposed to lie and play along or you’re a bigot? Add the amount of psychotropics being pushed and now more then ever I can see the line being blurred. Hell the line is actively being blurred with meta verse nonsense. And of course A.I.!So everyone being so quick to dismiss this concept because of pasts studies I think is foolish. I think it’s a lot easier for children to blur this line more then ever before .

But then again, he would just be as salty in his new hobby as he was in his older one if his attitude is anything to go by.
@@Yungblvckie I actually searched his channel and watched some of his videos. I subscribed haha. He is clearly trolling for fun, you can see in his voice and choice of words. It's sad people didn't realize it, but I think that's the point he is trying to make: just poke fun of everything. I always found it to be funny how young gamers likes pretending they don't care about left media talking about racism, feminism, etc, in videogames, but at the same time loses their mind if someone hates (Or pretends to hate) their beloved games.
Looking over a lot of his videos, yeah I'm starting to think it's just an elaborate, albeit repetitive joke channel. He's a bit too contradictory and droning to be serious in hindsight.
So as a girl gamer who grew up on Halo and has been playing it since I was 7, I find it absolutely stupid that anyone would think Tarturus (Hope I spelled that right) was threatening to rape Miranda. If you look into the lore, the Brutes were very violent with their hostages. Ripping them apart limb from limb as they’re awake is just a start. As someone who reads Halo’s lore I understand what they can do and that’s probably what he was hinting at. Absolutely stupid anyone would think he was gonna rape her
Yeah there's a reason they're called brutes it isnt their species name it's what humans called them, same as grunts and elites. Only after the arbiter defected did the brutes become the defacto combat commanders as seen around halo 3 specifically in odst
It's all to push a political agenda even if you gotta twist stuff and straight up lie.

Isn't that the same thing fans got pissed about when Marvel got SJW with female Thor and Asian Hulk? Granted, Asian Hulk is blegh, but I've heard that Female Thor is all right. Of course fans have the benefit of hindsight, like Miles Morales being a similar SJW move but is then so well done everyone gets to go "ah well I'm for _this_ kind of representation, when it's done right!" and they get to brush over the fact that they weren't complaining about bad writing when the character was revealed but because they have a really weird defense mechanism towards nostalgic memories. Another example is people (usually white dudes) getting pissed at the RUST developers for introducing randomized race and sex into the game. Seems to me that both SJWs and anti-SJWs are more similar than they care to admit.
@@fluidthought42 I believe Miles Morales has always been black in the comics. I've never heard anyone complain about his race. Character existed before there were plans to make an animated movie featuring him. Still, that character could've turned out terrible and many will prefer Peter Parker no matter what.
Players: Want a game set in a historical setting to be historically accurate "Woke" developers/publishers: You are on the wrong side of history! Players: Nani?
Also depicting real or similar acts of terrible crime or questionable morality... People will claim the developers are "XYZ" because they're depicting things that happened years ago

"Video games only appeals to male fantasy" Meanwhile, DOOM and Animal Crossing fandom rejoicing their game together with the most wholesome and adorable ways possible few years ago.
The Bioshock Infinite article is beyond crazy. That game is a very pointed critique of American exceptionalism, not an endorsement of it. However, in order to critique an idea, you do actually have to present the idea you’re critiquing.
A endorsement of exceptionalism...you ever have that feeling they look at some screenshots and immediately leaped towards a conclusion? The game is bizarre and sometimes is too up their own ass but it’s definitely not that when talking about very real world topics and how a city would look like if they followed post civil war southerner ideals and general late 1800s ideas.
Like calling a historical themed movie racist for portraying awful things like slavery. It's not endorsing it just because it portrays it, you have to look at HOW it's portraying it (like if it paints it in a negative or a positive light) Some people don't understand that acknowledging something is not endorsing it.
There's never been a single case in history where a person committed violence because they were influenced by a video game. These same people tried going after rock music, then rap music, movies, then finally video games. These people are just Philistines.
Zelda being "sexist" etc, this is where I draw the line. It's a kids game, you really think the developers were thinking about all these political topics 20 years in the future The one about Byleth pisses me off too. Byleth was added to Smash due to the success of Three Houses, not just because of sex appeal
But see i don't know why feminist are literally complaining about something that isn't real. It's. a. fucking. video. game. Sure there are some games that shouldn't be played but its like don't you have anything else better to do other than bitching and moaning about some kind of fantasy.
Zelda's culture was designed in a time when KB was the standard unit for measuring data. The pictures we take with our phones take up more space than the entirety of a video game world back in the day. Trying to diversify the skin colors of Hyrule would have been inconvenient. Going forward a few years, the games finally did have enough room for more information, but the world was already made. Take a look at Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild as the best examples of what Hyrule looks like when given attention to detail. (Skyward Sword was too small) Edit: I hadn't heard about that about Byleth. As a fan of Three Houses I welcomed Byleth as the first Fire Emblem character to venture outside of the top section of the weapon triangle. A much needed change, as Fire Emblem is not a sword game. If you play Fire Emblem as a sword game, you will be felled by many spears and concealed weapons.
How is having strong women in games political. Having a man rescue a princess whom is the only woman in the game is pretty sexist. I want to see women in gaming who are just as strong as the men.

"Why isn't Link female in the new LOZ game?" because that's... what? he's not even a new link, he's literally one that slept for 100, what did you want him to happen to change genders during his sleep?
@@Giovfunny You can't just switch up genders on an eatablished character, one that has been popular for decades now. That's like saying all Basketball players in the new NBA 2k22 will be females. It just doesn't work.
If anyone ever asks you this, the lore reason is that every Zelda hosts the spirit of the goddess Hylia. Goddess. So she can't be a boy. And for the sake of balance, Link has to stay a boy. That way, you can change the topic to how gender is a social construct. Edit: really dumb mistake.
"Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about, the more opinions they have, the more ignorant they are." -Thomas Hildern, The Director of OSI, Fallout:New Vegas
A lot of these bad hot takes are due to people on entertainment outlets honestly having no idea what they are talking about. No joke, so many people on websites like Kotaku, Syfy, Wired, and Polygon honestly have no idea what they are talking about. Even more reputable websites like IGN and Forbes have this problem. And the worst offenders are websites like ScreenRant and Comicbook. These two are just terrible, they are spew the most dishonest, misinformed, and clickbait articles I've ever seen. And so many of these article are not actual news articles the report facts, the are just editorial and opinion pieces disguised as news articles. These types of articles should not be advertised in my news feed because they are not news. All they do is trick uninformed readers into believing poor sourced opinions or even blatantly wrong info to be true. Such website are riding on a wave of legitimacy they do not deserve. And I'm not even saying that all the articles these websites publish are bad. Some pieces _are_ factual and/or neutral. But others simply lies and you can tell the writers have no idea what they are talking about. It's a weird feeling to realize that you know know the subject of the article better than the writer. Even weirder (and more worrisome) and you come across a sentence or title that is dead wrong. Sure you know better, but a lot of others readers do not. And on éditorial pieces, I'm fine with them. But they should not be the advertised as actual entertainment news. They should be in the opinion section of the website and not snuck into what should be a factual article. This editorial journalism is a seriously problem and someone needs to crack down on it. Readers need to hold entertainment news to a higher standard and complained like Google should not promote opinion pieces as news.

I used to think this too, but now I believe it might be true. With how online the young generation is I think this could possibly be closer to the truth then many of us video game defenders like myself would like to admit. Hell cuckerberg is openly trying to get everyone hooked on the meta verse and blurring the lines even more. I also think the “cool” I’m not your parent I’m your friend shit isn’t helping with not creating boundaries. Nor is parents and “doctors” eagerly accepting and pushing the use of “happy drugs” to get those kids sedated helping this , it’s maybe the biggest issue .. and do people playing along with this gender is fluid Bullshit good for society. Why is hard to believe that kids are having trouble putting video games in proper perspective when adults are telling them they can be any sex ,hell it’s getting to any species at this time. You can be a cat and everyone is supposed to play along or you are a bigot. Hell you are probably one of these people that thinks it’s cool. I hope not because that’s anti science and anti reality . So if you are pushing this anti reality why do you think ths is so far fetched? These games are getting closer to reality then ever and it’s a hell of a lot closer to reality then saying you can just swap sexes or species and actually become the opposite sex. These people have tricked people like you into playing along with their delusions. So more then ever the dangers. Of video game being played out in the real world is poignant

Game journalists be like:
So, In the original Mario, Mario jumps on goombas, and studies have shown that Mario is 5.1 feet tall, that means that the goombas are 2.5 feet tall. 2.5 can be a height, or an age, and hitler was 2.5 years old once, meaning that MARIO IS RACIST!!!
I would have just went with the meaning of goomba to call him racist.
Thiz macs sence
But isn’t he stomping on hitler?
@Calvin Woodruff No, game journalists think Mario is a mass murderer of several innocent creatures that supports toxic masculinity and white colonialism. . .Yes, really, and as someone who has actually played Mario's games, I can tell you the many, MANY problems with that idea.
Mario
1. Is a brave, humble hero that regularly fights AGAINST tyrants, and card-carrying villains that brag about how evil
they are, and he fights AGAINST them because it's the right thing to do.
2. Has no problem accepting help from females, whether it's Princess Peach, Goombella, or the many other females
he has accepted help from in the past.
3. Never makes fun of men for crying and expressing sadness.
4. Has shown to be more than capable of solving problems with non-violent solutions when possible.
5. Has worked together with people that are part of species that he normally fights against (Goombas, Koopas,
Bob-ombs, Boos, etc.) and not only does he never express any bigotry, or discomfort from doing so, but he
has also developed strong friendships with said people (Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, etc.)
6. Showed genuine kindness to and befriended Vivian (Paper Mario: TTYD), who is highly implied (In the original
Japanese version) to be transgender and he never once showed any problems with it.
7. Is Italian (You know, an ethnicity that have been widely historically discriminated against, even by white bigots).
8. Was created by a Japanese man (Shigeru Miyamoto) and his games are created by a Japanese video game
company (Nintendo), which makes all the game journalists that insist Mario is racist because of "white game
devs that have feelings of racial superiority in themselves" all the more dumb.
Meanwhile, Ghost Of Tsushima is hated by game journalists despite having an all Asian cast (Japanese and Mongolian to be specific) solely because said game was made by an American company (Sucker Punch) and they (The game journalists) hate it to the point of getting mad at how people in Japan love and praise the game.
I would also like to point out that the complaints of bigotry that game journalists made towards Mario happened when Paper Mario: The Origami King came out (Which was also the same day that Ghost of Tsushima came out). In that game, Mario fights against a bigoted, perfectionist king that wants to kill every single one of the toads. . .Yes, Mario fights AGAINST a king that wants to commit GENOCIDE and game journalists think Mario's actions are that of a murderous, colonialist bigot. If you want to know why so many people dislike/hate game journalists, here is one of the many reasons why.
No matter what road you take the destination is always the same. Something is racist.
The person calling out the persona 5 soundtrack was trying to take a stand against some vague nondescript injustices, but instead ended up being accidentally racist. Messed up part is a quick google search would have shown them the lyrics and also that Lyn Inaizumi is Japanese. Plus Lyn is an incredible singer, her accent gives her style a lot of charm.
She makes the Persona 5 soundtrack iconic. Btw for those wondering the lyrics are "retort it" it's from the song "wake up, get up, get out there" the opening song to the original Persona 5 game
Always gotta fact check something
To quote Ryuji: FOR REAL?!
That sort of thing happens pretty frequently. People who have the "call out" mindset (for lack of a better term) have a tendency to not think about what they're saying. It's a knee-jerk reaction, mixed with a hefty dose of hypersensitivity that all too often becomes pareidolia, with them seeing problematic statements everywhere.

I Love this Video
@Christov S L Toreh What makes that interview even dumber is that both the woman, Cooper Lawrence (and Fox News) somehow thought Mass Effect, this "Rated M For Mature Audiences" game, was aimed at children (or more specifically young boys). They thought an M-rated game that was originally released on XBox 360 (A console that at the time was widely considered the "video game console for adults," and has games such Halo 3, Dead Rising, the Dead or Alive series, and the Gears Of War trilogy) and dealt with themes, such as war, bigotry, and genocide. . .was made for little boys. Furthermore, I'm very glad Geoff Keighley pointed out you could play as a FEMALE Shepard in the game, considering there are some people that either somehow don't know that detail (TED Talk) or consider games that let you pick your character's gender to "not count" as games where "diversity matters" (Anita Sarkeesian). I also find it eye-rolling when Cooper says, ". . .They don’t show women as being valued for anything other than their sexuality. . .," when all your teammates in the game including the female ones are shown to be three dimensional characters that are also great fighters (For example, Liara T'Soni is a scientist that's also a powerful biotic). For crying out loud, one of the most beloved characters in the series is Tali'Zorah, who is a female machinist that spends her whole time in an environmental suit with a one-way visor and is quite skilled with a shotgun. To top it all off, some time afterwards, Cooper later admitted, “Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it’s like pornography, but it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.” In other words, Cooper Lawrence did as much research on Mass Effect as Jack Thompson/Anita Sarkeesian did on Bayonetta (But hey, at least Cooper Lawrence eventually took an actual look at the game). Speaking of which, Jack Thompson himself, called out Fox News for this gaffe. Yes, even Jack knew how stupid this whole thing was. You don't have to like a certain video game, but if you're gonna HATE it, then please have an actual reason for doing so. Also. . .PLEASE READ THE ESRB LABEL BEFORE YOU BUY A GAME FOR YOUR CHILD. If you have time to write letters, protest against video game companies, and go on TV to complain about how M-rated games aren't family-friendly, then you have time to both check to make sure that sideways letter E on the cover isn't actually the letter M, and listen to the clerk telling you that the game isn't for children.
My favourite part of that Fox hit piece on Mass Effect were all the one star reviews on that quack's book that were like "I've never read this book, but I really don't like how it spends so much time denying the holocaust"

The problem with the rage bait articles is that even if it’s just to get a reaction out of the community, many developers are actually dumb enough to believe the topics these articles bring up are legitimate issues that need to be addressed.
That’s why a lot of them make the claims, without receipts, that concerns are coming from gamers themselves rather than just admit they have a personal agenda they want to push to force companies to bend their way.
It also does a lot to feed the rumor mill when you factor in those who see the headline but don’t know enough to confirm what it says or maybe even don’t read anything BUT the headline, yet they keep seeing the headline so they think it’s true.
Also when there is pushback or criticism they will use it to portray themselves as victims. Then they will do anything they can to have their critics branded with any ism or phobia to discredit any and all criticism they might receive.

Well, people with useless degrees gotta pay rent somehow, so they fabricate nonsense controversy.
Hot take: Time doing something you enjoy ultimately is the best use of your time not something productive. You only get one life. Be selfish with your time.
Omg absolutely... I literally had this exact argument as to why I'm finishing school early. I LOVE learning, right? However in gradeschool I taught myself everything that high school is supposed to teach you. High school wouldn't let me take more advanced courses because I "didn't have credits" for the simple classes. I ended up so bored and disinterested in the classes I was in that I was literally failing every one. I was put in the more private online "make up work" classes where the first thing they do is have you take GED pre-tests to see what skills you have and which ones you need to work on in order to meet standards. I aced them.. They just let me sit there now because they know I already know all the classes they were going to make me take. As soon as I'm allowed to by the district, I'll be testing out of school and getting my diploma early. Then I'll be able to work full time and save up money to move out of this horrid country... (y'know.. somewhere that it doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars every year for lifesaving medicine)

You will have more fun overall if you moderate your time correctly. Spending all your free time playing games now might be fun, but future you will have more fun if you spend atleast some of that time doing something productive.
"Video games are always bad" is a bad take. "If I spend all my time playing video games" is also a bad take.
Good take: Video games are fine in moderation, but you should also make sure you are acting in a way that is good for your future. Just because you want to do something or you like it a lot doesn't mean it is actually what you want. My grandfather liked smoking. That is, until he got lung cancer and died at 60, leaving behind small grandchildren that loved him. Obviously video games aren't going to kill you, but every minute you spend gaming is a minute you could've spent doing something that will make you happier in the future than the games will now. Play some video games. Also do other stuff.
Oh Halo 3 is misogynistic huh? That’s why one of the most pertinent characters to advancing the story and in a very high position basically sub commander of UNSC forces is a respected female.
shh... They dont like facts. And they seem to forget that Halo (as it is originally took many notes from Alien-saga) has multiple badass women in it: Foehammer, Cortana, CMDR Keys, multiple Marines and ODST; Capt Dare, Serina, Anders etc etc.

Yeah but that one time that the brute said to Anders (the one featured in the video its been a while since i played H3) said something that a tiny percentage of people thought meant rape completely derails this entire argument.

I've always taken hot takes and tried to guess what "trauma" the writer never truly emotionally dealt with that is causing them to write that article. Normally I usually think it's something small and petty, like Anita Sarkesian (or however you spell it) wrote her heart out on a writing assignment but a boy in her class got a better grade when he clearly phoned the assignment in. So instead of going to the logical conclusion that maybe she isn't as informed or as eloquent as she initially believed she was, she double down and would rather listen to the 10 whack jobs in the same boat instead of doing the adult thing and trying to better herself.
So basically I see people who make a living on writing hot takes as emotionally stunted nut jobs who would prefer everyone hate them rather than be wrong and correcting the issue.

It goes both ways though. Even really well thought out minority characters get attacked by angry gamers that just want to cry about "politics in their videogames".

And even more so this nonsense gender ideology where children are being told they can be whatever sex they want, hell they can even be cats in even more extreme systems. And everyone is supposed to lie and play along or you’re a bigot? Add the amount of psychotropics being pushed and now more then ever I can see the line being blurred.

You can tell he has no lower-bar standards when it comes to critical thought.

He also needs to find a new hobby if he's so ass-damaged about games anyway. But then again, he would just be as salty in his new hobby as he was in his older one if his attitude is anything to go by.

I always found it to be funny how young gamers likes pretending they don't care about left media talking about racism, feminism, etc, in videogames, but at the same time loses their mind if someone hates (Or pretends to hate) their beloved games.

So as a girl gamer who grew up on Halo and has been playing it since I was 7, I find it absolutely stupid that anyone would think Tarturus (Hope I spelled that right) was threatening to rape Miranda. If you look into the lore, the Brutes were very violent with their hostages. Ripping them apart limb from limb as they’re awake is just a start. As someone who reads Halo’s lore I understand what they can do and that’s probably what he was hinting at. Absolutely stupid anyone would think he was gonna rape her
"But Sexist apeman! I read the plygon article that says ape man bad!"

Imagine being so insecure that you demand video game characters be changed to your race, sexuality, or gender so you'll feel validated.
like how people want james bond to be black or even a female
Alternatively:
Imagine being so deluded that you demand video game characters be changed to hit as many minority checkboxes as possible so you'll feel validated.
And then when someone actually tries to meet your ridiculous standard, immediately call it problematic for the exact same reasons you demanded it.
Isn't that the same thing fans got pissed about when Marvel got SJW with female Thor and Asian Hulk? Granted, Asian Hulk is blegh, but I've heard that Female Thor is all right. Of course fans have the benefit of hindsight, like Miles Morales being a similar SJW move but is then so well done everyone gets to go "ah well I'm for _this_ kind of representation, when it's done right!" and they get to brush over the fact that they weren't complaining about bad writing when the character was revealed but because they have a really weird defense mechanism towards nostalgic memories.
Another example is people (usually white dudes) getting pissed at the RUST developers for introducing randomized race and sex into the game. Seems to me that both SJWs and anti-SJWs are more similar than they care to admit.
@@fluidthought42 I believe Miles Morales has always been black in the comics. I've never heard anyone complain about his race.

The Bioshock Infinite article is beyond crazy. That game is a very pointed critique of American exceptionalism, not an endorsement of it. However, in order to critique an idea, you do actually have to present the idea you’re critiquing.
Fuck politics or whatever bioshock infinite was shocking
A endorsement of exceptionalism...you ever have that feeling they look at some screenshots and immediately leaped towards a conclusion?
The game is bizarre and sometimes is too up their own ass but it’s definitely not that when talking about very real world topics and how a city would look like if they followed post civil war southerner ideals and general late 1800s ideas.
Like calling a historical themed movie racist for portraying awful things like slavery. It's not endorsing it just because it portrays it, you have to look at HOW it's portraying it (like if it paints it in a negative or a positive light) Some people don't understand that acknowledging something is not endorsing it.

There's never been a single case in history where a person committed violence because they were influenced by a video game. These same people tried going after rock music, then rap music, movies, then finally video games. These people are just Philistines.
Zelda being "sexist" etc, this is where I draw the line. It's a kids game, you really think the developers were thinking about all these political topics 20 years in the future
The one about Byleth pisses me off too. Byleth was added to Smash due to the success of Three Houses, not just because of sex appeal
Not just sexist, but racist and homophobic as well.
But see i don't know why feminist are literally complaining about something that isn't real. It's. a. fucking. video. game. Sure there are some games that shouldn't be played but its like don't you have anything else better to do other than bitching and moaning about some kind of fantasy.
Zelda's culture was designed in a time when KB was the standard unit for measuring data. The pictures we take with our phones take up more space than the entirety of a video game world back in the day. Trying to diversify the skin colors of Hyrule would have been inconvenient. Going forward a few years, the games finally did have enough room for more information, but the world was already made. Take a look at Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild as the best examples of what Hyrule looks like when given attention to detail. (Skyward Sword was too small)
Edit: I hadn't heard about that about Byleth. As a fan of Three Houses I welcomed Byleth as the first Fire Emblem character to venture outside of the top section of the weapon triangle. A much needed change, as Fire Emblem is not a sword game. If you play Fire Emblem as a sword game, you will be felled by many spears and concealed weapons.
How is having strong women in games political. Having a man rescue a princess whom is the only woman in the game is pretty sexist. I want to see women in gaming who are just as strong as the men.
Idk, I don't really think Byleth is that attract- oh, you were talking about the female one.

Since the new COD did it I can't think of a better opportunity, but the guy talking about Soviet subversion was a real person talking about something actually happening, we're now seeing the results
Ah yes the Joffrey line
"Why isn't Link female in the new LOZ game?"
because that's... what? he's not even a new link, he's literally one that slept for 100, what did you want him to happen to change genders during his sleep?
Botw link is still a new link though
@@Giovfunny no smh
@@viralvegetable2411 that link may have slept for 100 years and has a whole backstory, but he never appeared in previous titles
@@Giovfunny You can't just switch up genders on an eatablished character, one that has been popular for decades now.
That's like saying all Basketball players in the new NBA 2k22 will be females. It just doesn't work.
If anyone ever asks you this, the lore reason is that every Zelda hosts the spirit of the goddess Hylia. Goddess. So she can't be a boy. And for the sake of balance, Link has to stay a boy. That way, you can change the topic to how gender is a social construct.
Edit: really dumb mistake.
Gaming hot take: TheActWomen is better than TheActMan

A lot of these bad hot takes are due to people on entertainment outlets honestly having no idea what they are talking about. No joke, so many people on websites like Kotaku, Syfy, Wired, and Polygon honestly have no idea what they are talking about. Even more reputable websites like IGN and Forbes have this problem.
And the worst offenders are websites like ScreenRant and Comicbook. These two are just terrible, they are spew the most dishonest, misinformed, and clickbait articles I've ever seen. And so many of these article are not actual news articles the report facts, the are just editorial and opinion pieces disguised as news articles. These types of articles should not be advertised in my news feed because they are not news. All they do is trick uninformed readers into believing poor sourced opinions or even blatantly wrong info to be true. Such website are riding on a wave of legitimacy they do not deserve.
And I'm not even saying that all the articles these websites publish are bad. Some pieces _are_ factual and/or neutral. But others simply lies and you can tell the writers have no idea what they are talking about. It's a weird feeling to realize that you know know the subject of the article better than the writer. Even weirder (and more worrisome) and you come across a sentence or title that is dead wrong. Sure you know better, but a lot of others readers do not.
And on éditorial pieces, I'm fine with them. But they should not be the advertised as actual entertainment news. They should be in the opinion section of the website and not snuck into what should be a factual article. This editorial journalism is a seriously problem and someone needs to crack down on it. Readers need to hold entertainment news to a higher standard and complained like Google should not promote opinion pieces as news.
Wise words, Mr. Kenobi.
Edit:fuckin' youtube changing letterz
MrTigracho yes *master kenibi*
That's what happens when you hire glorified bloggers that pretend to be "journalists".
GG was fighting a losing battle. There is no integrity at all in games journalism.
I'm sorry to inform you, Master Kenobi, but with you fighting in the Clone Wars so much, you may have missed out on one very important detail:
IGN is full of lies. It's the exact opposite of a reputable source.
@@Aredel to be honest. Back then in was really reputable and very reliable. Looking at their old videos and reviews in the 2000s, it makes me wonder how much has changed and how worse they have gotten when started hiring more and more people.
Twitter: “CoD Black Ops: Cold War encourages alt-right nazis and right wing conspiracy”
I mean Yuri was ex-KGB so I don’t think it’s some “right-wing conspiracy”
An everything he said its happening.
He did lowkey uncover tactics used to create an authoritarian marxist state.
These people are just triggered he called out the flaws in their "utopia".
Then again, don't think Activision is the one who parrots his words as they censored the Tiananmen square footage used in the trailer.
That's the thing, these deranged Leftists think that Nazis and Commies are right-wing ideologies. What they fail to realize is that all their rhetoric and stupid agendas are just repackaged/rebranded Communism and they're the useful idiots who will be the first to be lined up and shot if the US government is overthrown and replaced with Communism.
@@FamousWolfe Nazism is fairly right wing lol. And communism is authoritarianism with a leftist coat of paint on it.
Also, BLM is headed by self-described "trained marxists".
Such a shame such a reasonable phrase has been hijacked by loonies.
I know these people calling is it a conspiracy, are the useful idiots Yuri was talking about.
