Some people don't care to see SA and loli bait on every other page.

I don't even really know what to say. These people are so stupid.

Like, why do you NEED them to be vermin who are killed on sight?

Would it be so fucking strange if a DM said, "hey, in my world, kobolds aren't evil". Seems like a normal fucking choice to make in a fantasy game??

Are there not enough conflicts to resolve in the setting? You NEED racially designated enemies?

Even if you took it to the extreme and said NOTHING in dnd is inherently evil? Would that be bad? Like, you could still kill them because they can still be antagonists.

PS. The one that really gets me is the person talking about them multiplying and killing farmers trying to guilt the person as if any of this is real doggirl-lol

What do you think this is going to work for? You think this has the gravity of those two events?

These are genuine questions. Not being sarcastic.

The American Christian persecution complex is easily the piece of chud psychology that pisses me off the most.

Having cultural hegemony isn't enough. They have to PRETEND to be victims while victimizing others. Absolutely abhorrent

I notice that this narrative is getting passed around. There's this idea that the movie was specifically made to piss off the people who liked the first one. I've also seen the weird term "Hollywood humiliation ritual" being thrown around again.

But why would a studio spend millions of dollars to do this? I just don't get it.

It really has vibes of (((Hollywood))) attempting to humiliate a certain demographic (white males) by degrading their cultural iconography.

It just seems like a really chud way to frame the narrative. Wouldn't they actually try to make money by producing the same slop for the same audience?

For those who are reflexively defensive about anything China related, Chinese state supported media covered this story years ago. Chinese women themselves have been vocal about the creepy shit from this studio and sexism in the industry in general.

Game Science may not have been prepared for all that attention. The day of the trailer’s release, founder and CEO Feng Ji wrote on microblogging platform Weibo: “We’ve been staffing up with new hires, and I’ve been sucked off so many times I can’t get an erection anymore.” Two days later he came back for more, writing, “Watching it (the trailer) made me wet too… My pants are about to burst!”

Soon, internet sleuths had unearthed a pattern of lewd and offensive job postings by the company dating back to 2015. In one of the ads, a mouse cursor is placed over the private parts of a nude woman in a painting. The job advertisements were taken down after the controversy broke, but their sheer crassness drew harsh criticism, including from the country’s female gamers, many of whom had enthusiastically promoted the trailer when it was released.

Is there any way to raise the status of female gamers and reduce sexism in gaming? Any real solution must involve improving the social status of Chinese women in general. But as for what the game industry can accomplish on its own, bringing more female voices in would be a good start. This would hopefully force companies to respect and consider women’s perspectives before making design decisions.
