Alright what happened?

Mods don’t like me. Not exactly news, I kinda figured that since last year.

Jesus, sorry dude.

I know how ya feel. Mods dont like me either.

Don’t be, I’ve made the feeling quite mutual. But just Jesus, going to the “no one on here likes and gets along with you” retort is just High School levels of immaturity. It’s like going “you have no friends”

I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could go to plenty of other places and not be liked either. You have to have more confidence in yourself.

10/10 bullying bro. What maturity 

Chill out, Gamers

I like you. For what that’s worth.

But...seriously, you did go off the deep end a bit in that last status. Regardless of how it came off to you, Tornado was agreeing with you in that initial reply.

Pictured: Someone with more self-reflection than the creator of this status update.

@Ernest the Panda His initial comment for the most part was fine, I challenged his terminology and he flipped out and resorted to weak bully tactics and flat out false claims. Because I *gasp* insinuated that it’s not always a contest to reach most persecuted to acknowledge and try and get a community that actively ignores those topics to treat it with a bit more seriousness. I’m not putting it above any other real issues. Hell, I’ve brought up in the past the shit bi people go through with the whole “bi-erasure” shit

You could’ve worded your grievance in a less antagonistic way. “I don’t care for the terminology you used there because *reasons*, but I get what you mean”.

I’m telling you this as a person who used to act quite similarly only a few years ago.

A status update made by someone who is completely above weak bully tactics and flat out false claims.

Pointing at something else,(from a fucking year ago) to deflect from shit you very much did do recently sure is reasonable and totally absolves your own actions.

It kinda does, since you were the one who flipped the fuck out in the recent status update, and you are the one going on the country wide pity parade in multiple areas of the forum without telling anyone why you were reacted negatively to in the first place.

No, it doesn’t, cause you still lied, and resorted to bully tactics. 

I’m also not the one that went “bo hoy yo I guess I should kill myself” cause I said you didn’t make a funny joke. You wanna talk about flipping out.

I disagreed and gave my reasons why, and only gave passive responses back when being giving passive comments. 

No, it doesn’t, cause you still lied

You keep saying this but not quantifying it, just like you keep posting all over the forum as if you are completely blameless in the way people respond to you.

Put your money where your mouth it or shut up.

I’m also not the one that went “bo hoy yo I guess I should kill myself” cause I said you didn’t make a funny joke.” You wanna talk about flipping out.

You truly are clueless if you think that was anything but mocking how much you think I care about your opinion.

I mean considering you got defensive and went “it’s a joke Jesus.” Because wow, who woulda imagined you’re not the some snl funny man. The joke wasn’t funny, I expressed that, and you took a basic response, to a illogical needless extreme.

 Put your money where your mouth it or shut up.

I very much did. In the initial status. And you decided to ignore that and go for the cheap ass “lol” to my comment.

last I checked, you claimed I spam political statuses endlessly, which, going off my statuses history isn’t at all true 

You can fuck off with this nonsense, KHCast. During all of the staff discussions pertaining to incidents involving you recently, I had vocally given you the benefit of the doubt throughout this year and mistakenly believed you had calmed down and learned your lesson (if not immediately) since telling Celestia, of all people, to go fuck themselves for calling out your shitty attitude in that "haha trans people amirite?" status you made last year. You haven't grown up and learned anything at all since. You are a jackass with no self-awareness whatsoever and I've had it with this shit.

Considering this is the exact same way you acted last time we took away your status privileges, how about this: I'm taking them away again, and this time it's permanent and I will defend tooth and nail against you ever getting them back this time.

That's what I lied about? Me saying you spam political status updates, and you insisting you don't because you also post other stuff on a day where you posted two in such quick succession that the forum wide content IDs were sequential?

Protip: You saying that something isn't true doesn't actually make it a lie.

Multi-tiered stage design in 3D. That's something I don't even see 3D fangame makers doing right now. We got glimpses of it in 3D during Heroes stages like parts of Seaside Hill and Frog Forest, but thats all they were, small glimpses

Balloons from Sonic Generations.

They’re really good at carrying your speed and momentum, so it’d be great to use them more often.

@Polkadi~☆ I feel they could just incorporate that function within the homing attack itself actually. Kinda like Sonic Adventure’s. Though as for general objects, yeah they’re visually appealing too so I wouldn’t mind seeing them more

- also says Game Freak, Bioware, Bethesda, Polyphony Digital...

I don’t see why other companies having that mentality matters. If anything that just further highlights the issue.

It was a joke. Jesus Christ.

Cool. It wasn’t that funny

I guess I'll just go kill myself, because KHCast doesn't approve of my topical video game reference in his status update about something no one on this forum actually gives a shit about in the first place.

Considering there’s a lgbt topic, and this forum discusses other topics besides video games constantly...exaggerating much? 

Your joke wasn’t funny. Want me to sprinkle that with rainbows? 

Could you give me some insight as to what that’s all about, or at least link me to an article or something that explains it?

It’s just the general attitude the community has about ignoring the oppression within its own walls, especially regarding racism. It’s often downplayed or scoffed at when PoC try to raise awareness of it and discuss it. I can’t count how many white gays have actually criticized me for daring say that there’s racism within the lgbt world, telling me what is and isn’t racist using their lens of approval, telling me it’s a myth and that it doesn’t exist, pulling the reverse racism card, and justifying what PoC would perceive to be racist attitudes and behaviors.

Gay people can be racist.

thats a fact.

I haven’t seen any examples firsthand, that’s all I’m saying. But if you say there’s a problem, I believe you. I just wouldn’t know how to discuss it because I don’t know any of the ins and outs.

Which is why I could do with a detailed analysis on the matter to understand better.

EDIT: actually I do recall you once talking about a particularly nasty experience you had on a dating app (something about a guy messaging you and using racist language as “sexy talk” or some shit)

It’s certainly a real thing. Especially the whole fetishizing thing. Having talked with other PoC it’s startling how often we’re perceived constantly only in the sexual light regarding the desire for us. More often than not I read or hear about how difficult online dating for example is for black people in general because often people just expect sex from us and never see us in that romantic sense. They want that “black experience”. There’s also the issue of stereotyping, as people expect you to be a certain way. I’ve had that told to me many times, that they were expecting a more aggressive and “thuggish” like black guy. It’s also just very easy I’ve learned to get someone to lose interest in you and move on. Like PoC have to watch what they say more than others I feel regarding certain issues or topics. This isn’t even getting into blatant racism where I’ve been called a monkey for not wanting to fuck someone. And again, these are very much shared experiences we talk about.

The Persecution Olympics are absolutely a thing within the LBGT community. It's why it always seemed odd to me that the "T" part of LBGT hooked up with the other three in the first place, since their interests didn't necessarily correspond.

Ahh. That sucks.

“Persecution Olympics” sounds like pretty sarcastic “it’s not actually a problem” way to refer to tangible harmful mentalities within the community

If that's how you want to take the comment, that's on you. I'm remembering why I stopped commenting on your status updates.

Your need to insert snarky sarcastic phrases to refer to ongoing problems is unneeded, plain and simple. And given your track record regarding your input on subjects like this when responding to me, I really didn’t expect it to go any other way.

Let's get one thing straight here, dickhead: You are the one who spams political status update on the front page of a Sonic forum trying to get, I don't know, some sort of consensus for whatever political thing you want to whine about at any given point from people who generally too busy bitching about how much Iizuka sucks. You are the one who throws a fit every time someone responds to it in a way not to your liking.

Look up "oppression olympics," which is the more common name for what I said:

Quote

Oppression Olympics is a characterization of marginalization as a competition to determine the relative weight of the overall oppression of individuals or groups, often by comparing race, gender, socioeconomic status or disabilities, in order to determine who is the worst off, and the most oppressed.

Doesn't that sound an awful fucking lot like being related to the thing you were talking about with whatever the hell this status update was supposed to be about?

Again, it's your problem if you want to assume that when I make a comment about how the interests of all the people within the LBGT community don't always intersect despite being seemingly under the same umbrella, that I'm actually saying "fuck all of them their problems don't matter." I was just assuming that I was commenting on the topic in a way that you wanted, but fuck me all to hell I guess.

>spams political statuses 

mmmm can’t exactly remember the last time I actually did that, and since when was sexuality, race and the basic treatment of humans “political”. I post them because the topics are relevant to me and also I just generally find it nice to vent out frustrations every now and then. You know, the point of status updates. I wasn’t aware it was expected I’d just discuss a fucking blue hedgehog in them. Maybe make that a rule if you don’t approve of my use of the statuses to occasionally bring up more personal “political” as you put it, issues

“Doesn’t that sound a lot like what you were saying”

Also no, that’s still not anything like my status. Since I never once actually made it a fucking competition. I shared experiences based on racism and saying how racism exists. But okay, guess that also means I’m competing to be winner of most discriminated.

Lastly, the fact you’re going “whatever the hell this status was about” shows me you didn’t seem to care enough to actually consider what it was discussing so there’s that 

His first response was him essentially agreeing with you, in case that didn't get through the first three fucking times. You really do act like an insufferable prick no matter what the other person is saying just because they sneezed in the wrong pitch around you, you know that?

Maybe he shouldn’t use incorrect terminology then to refer to a issue when what he’s defining is really not at all the point of the status. It’s not a competition, the initial point of the status was not to plead my case for being the most oppressed to garner sympathy, and I don’t spam political topics in the statuses.

Actually I just went through my statuses, and most of the discussions in the last few pages were about smash bros and crash.

Like seriously, the status was about PoC calling out the existence of racism in a community that tries to paint itself above that via its minority status, using examples and personal experiences, and somehow that’s equivalent of saying it’s a oppression contest.

I guess I'm just not woke enough to see how people fighting over whose oppression is more important rather than working together to try and better everyone in a group with similar problems in their lives (that'd be the Persecution Olympics) is completely different, to the extent of being irrelevant, from people in a group ignoring the plights of more disenfranchised members in a group because the rest of them already got what they wanted or simply just don't care.

Maybe if you weren't quite so far up your own ass, you'd be able to comprehend a context where me making a direct comparison to another problem with the LBGT community (that'd be the wave of LBG people who stopped giving any shit about the T as soon as they started getting their voices heard in government,, which is something I'm pretty sure I've even talked about before) was to show a level of understanding of the issue instead of just immediately assuming I'm telling you to go fuck yourself for talking about your personal identity politics.

Alas, we all know that won't happen.

I seriously don't get how you can not see these two things as correlating with each other whatsoever. You're so close to getting it, but the part of your brain that reacts with hostile negativity at anything that doesn't completely match up with your line of thinking sure as hell puts a stop to that almost every fucking time this shit happens in the statuses. This is why people don't get along with you.

Calling out that institutionalized racism and racial biases exists providing examples and wanting the community to take it as seriously as the other issues is not the same as 

Quote

 people fighting over whose oppression is more important

No ones stating racism against blacks is more important than, biphobia, transphobia, discrimination against Asians, body shaming. PoC are saying it’s a issue valid and real worth working to fix. A argument that’s usually met with hostility and denial by a good majority of the community. Or, as some simple folks may put it, is blacks just trying to paint themselves as the most discriminated and woeful tragic group.

 lol

funny how you ignored specifically when I said I even looked at my past statuses to call your fucking bluff.  Like if you gotta dig up statuses from, what, 4-5 months ago to make your argument, that I constantly post this shit, in a spamming matter as you describe, that’s what I would be personally laughing at. But when you don’t like someone and resort to the “just laugh at their comment” tactic, I can see who’s being the mature one. You’re the same guy who took me saying you’re joke wasn’t funny, and went “well fuck me I should kill myself then”. Don’t try and pretend you don’t get overly heated and take shit to the extreme

 Almost like my issue didn’t come from you bringing up a trans comparison hence why I ignored that part of your comment 

With the same guy...?

Pretty sure they did a sequel already, so that would techincally make it SSM 3....

Well 2 things here. Tbf the video game itself is using some pretty top tier VAs. Imo, really don't like how the masses are short changing their work again just because they're not the "high budget" options they wanted. Another case if VAs not getting proper credit really.

Second, it's a lot easier for Disney to pay the bill of getting them there when they're trying to launch their next (probably) multi-billion dollar project. As opposed to, let's not kid ourselves here, the modern day equivalent to a licensed game. The rights to simply use these characters alone is probably up there now so to add those extra chunks onto that tab in order to get what are probably the most expensive cast members of the bunch JUST to say on the box that you did, and not put that cost into the actual game, is a bit ridiculous imo.

Really, I'm not for giving these big ass companies the time of day here and I'd love to see Chris (take your pick) and/ or Robert in the game but really, they're not financially sound options. If Disney makes a fuss about how much goes into casting alone for these movies... that should give everyone some pause.

The known cast is so boring. The same 4 people that are already in every game.

Arthur Morgan was played by a complete unknown and was one of the best performances I've ever heard in a game.

The cast might be boring but that literally doesn't mean a thing. If they do their job well, they do their job well. I'm all for R*'s approach to VA casting too as they have a way of finding great VAs from no where but I'm not about to knock another game for not doing that. I'd like to see it happen more, but that's the extent of it. I'd love for the VA field to get bigger on every front.

Real talk, no matter how many roles he has, you're never not going to get me excited about Troy Baker. The guy's fucking amazing.

It’s totally fair to criticize the industry’s lack of desire to explore its options in the way of voice actors. “They’re good” isn’t a good excuse for me since they’re certainly not the only good ones. It’s like when people defend Hollywood’s tendency to prioritize heterosexual actors before lgbt ones even in lgbt focused films with “well they got the role cause they’re just good.” Like, a lot of projects rarely actually do open auditions, they just stick a known name(or have a set list of “viable” actors) that can act on it and call it a day.  

It's fair to criticize not extending the pull to other lesser known VAs who do better work, yes. Though again, that's just not simply something I'm personally going to take off points here (because this does't equate to a diversity in the workplace argument and, again, the people they have are good at what they do imo) for and I certainly don't think it works the other way around (in getting more well known actors in).

It's funny, I remember back in Arkham Origins where people were giving both Troy and Roger so much shit for voicing Batman and The Joker. It's weird seeing Troy getting knocked again for both the same and vice-versa reason lol

I'm also going to have to look more into that open auditions situation though. From everything I've heard, I thought it was a lot more common place for the opposite to be true. I distinctly remember multiple interviews with VAs talking about how they had to re-audition for a role they've been playing for years every time a new project came around.

You're complaining that the industry doesn't explore it's voice actors more right after complaining that the game didn't just bypass the va industry entirely by rwplacong them with hollywood talent.

I mean if they were gonna use a homogenized group you may as well have some (not all) from the material you’re very clearly ripping material from. The issue is still there mind you, but it’d be at least cool to have some of the voices of the MCU reprise their characters. Obviously the full cast is off the tables, but I certainly don’t think one or two depending on who would have broke bank for Square of all companies. 

Or they could have gone the ultimate alliance route, and embraced a wholly original take on the avengers, and use a variety of voice actors mixed with familiar and new 

There's no way they could afford them to record dozens of hours of content for a video game.

Square can get original Disney actors to reprise their roles, and have proven time and time they have the money to waste on a lot of needless shit, like game engine tech demos that never really go anywhere. I doubt they couldn’t afford one of them like mark ruffalo or Scarlett Johansson. Or one of the non-main avengers like ant man

This would still be more expensive than most of those things so I doubt it. 

Either way I'm not sure what it would add to the game.

Ultimately, probably not much. Then again this industry has a hard on for getting celebrities in their games and promoting said actor is in it, so maybe for most people it does add something. Or it could just be big industry gaming ultimately wasting their money on shit that end of the day won’t matter much. It’s probably that...but can’t say I wouldn’t have minded to see some of the MCU guys here since I associate them so much with the characters.

this is domino erasure

Lol when was this 

rip in peace Wraith

*sniff*..s-sometimes its like i can still hear his voice

@Blue Blood September going by when I snapped this lol

kingdom hearts vr is otherwise a complete joke so it evens out

How has she not disown such a disappointment of a son

Well, she only has to see him once or twice every few years. She practically disowned him the moment he started his journey.

I mean Brock’s a better mom than she is let’s be honest. The only time she ever really did much worth a damn was in Mystery of the Unknown.
