What did she do this time? *googles* Oh fucking hell...
Yea I liked that one. Reminds me of CookeHmm. That's really tempting. I really like Francavilla's BP art.

I knew someone that looked just like him and was that character in reality. Life was hilarious back then

If I remember correctly, there was a little black nerdy girl who
drank drain cleaner or something like that
I only remember 1-3 and Freddy vs Jason having black characters. One survived and the other got killed by jason.

Man, i'm not gonna lie, that diversity thread on gaming side just makes me uncomfortable.
All the "maybe it's because I'm not a minority, but I don't care" and "i AM a minority, and I don't care" stuff getting parroted around without a second thought, people seeming to take pride in their not caring about diversity, and not really actually addressing, or playing dumb regarding the topic at hand... Man, seeing that kind of thing happen so unanimously, I dunno. Something about that thread, I just don't feel right reading it. :/

It just feels like people going, "Hey, hey! I'm one of the good ones! I won't rock the boat!"
I'm honestly sad I've never watched Purple Rain until today
All of these myths are debunked by black scientists. The specific men's names escape me at the moment but these are scientificially proven false.
Send her to the negative zone or through one of those portals from Sliders.

Speaking of facebook stalking, can someone tell me why my church friend defriended me because I said Muslims are persecuted and our specific multinational church is in no way shape, form, or fashion persecuted? Oh well this is what happens when I give an opinion on anything that people were not raised to believe. Something called general conference happened and I'm catching up on that.
It was an asthma attack iirc.

Yeah, it's been forever since I've seen the movie. I think it was the Dream Warriors one.
Used to be my favorite series as a kid.

Hey, don't forget about the "shoving in minorities for the sake of having minorities is just as bad"-folks.
Fucking Gaming side, man.
It wasn't dream warriors. The only kills in that one are the puppet out of the window, getting shoved through a television, overdosed on drugs, failure to ranged dps, getting impaled, and getting straight up stabbed.
Edit: Found it. It was The Dream Master.
Phew. Thanks.
Just goes to show you how gaming as a whole has a lot of growing up to do
Had to X the tab when I saw someone say "I mean, if I got mad there weren't people like me in games, I wouldn't have any games to play."
Like, fam, how do you not see that, that's a problem? The problem, in fact.
that persecution complex breh. So I'm guessing this individual didn't even make a retort

I'm hype as fuck with Final Fantasy XV, but there's just a little thing that concerns me. If they're going to have all men, at least put in one non-white/Japanese in there, but it's FF where anyone not of those two races are rare and when they are in, that character for damn sure isn't the lead.

Uber Everywhere skrr skrr!
If he's black he'll be comedic relief who shucks and jives.
And yet, they'll still buy the most expensive collector's edition of next one, when it comes out. LOL.

Exactly! Man... Sometimes I wonder if people like that even at least try to understand the other perspective. It's sad how people can be so apathetic to things that don't concern them. As you say, that such things are normalized to most people, even to minorities, THAT's something that maybe we should take a step back and re-evaluate.
Definitely. OT is generally more straightforward, but man, the Gaming side... it really is as you say.
Those are the worst posts. When people go on about "checking a quota is bad!" or "it was just the creator's vision to create as homogenous a cast as possible"...
The first doesn't hurt anyone. If you can't handle diversity that's on you.
The 'creator's vision" stuff is nonsense. People can and do have the right to critique a creator's work and make it better. WE don't actually know why the creator chose to make a non-diverse cast is. Usually it's either they forgot/didn't think about it, or they actively chose not to. Both of those are worthy of criticism.
I feel like things have become a lot more positive regarding the game since the event. That airship reveal was PERFECT.
I'm so looking forward to it, even if yeah I take problems with the diversity issue. You can like something and of course be fully aware of its troublesome elements and how they can be improved. Being critical about the things you like, nothing wrong with that.
The contested convention probs happening.
It's probably going to be mediocre and peeps will lose their minds.

Hillary Clinton standing here pretending she care about black women on Black Girls Rock.
Wear it to the club, don't go alone. obvious displays of wealth can work for and against you. like who you attract and who's looking for what. And also try to see what it looks like first so you don't waste your money.
So you're saying you think Square can release a highly anticipated game that ultimately gets panned, but sees enough financial success that it gets not one, but two sequels that are ultimately successful despite people claiming they hate them and their main character?
Nah, b. Life doesn't work that way.
She took it as a sign of disrespect and unfriended me. Of course she's married with four kids and was a single mother before so she took it as a worldly influence on her family.

FFXV should be great because it has one of my favorite summons in Carbuncle. Who doesn't want an open world male version of FFX-2? Dudebros gon dudebro in a land of DUDEBROS.

Nothing about FF13 or it's spin offs looked attractive. I played the demo for the game where you play her sister and the battle system was doodoo butter
Thanks, I've been mulling over it for a long while now, so it's time to do some serious research.

Nah, it'll be like BvS. It'll be mediocre and people will be stepping up to tell everyone that its amazing and deep.
Then a year later, it'll all come crashing in on them.
