I know this is going to sound trite, i think some has to do with childhood and growing up.
There are a few really good documentaries (which i can't remember the name of. Sorry) about him that you should check out.
I doubt I would ever have the bravado to say that in the barbershop or in any straight male environment. I applaud you for that.

It's late, I'm watching TV and I think... whatever happen to old dude who use to be on TV a lot...you know Bernie Sanders? Is he like doing a BET movie or something now with his career for food?
I think abandoning some of the really brilliant concepts and figures of his work or at least chastising creators for drawing from them because of the racism is pointless.
At a point his works have shaped basically all media going forward to some extent, so getting into if that is condoning racism becomes this unwieldy concept.
And at some point you have to just accept older works as they are or you have to throw out almost everything. Or you pick and choose what you want to take out of larger works and move on.

Nope
I don't understand why pedophilia = gay is a thing with anti gay people. Example, I was just hearing about this crazy pastor in Sacramento saying he was happy about the Orlando shootings because they killed pedophiles. Where did this connection even come from? I know it's stupid people being stupid but is there a source for it?
LOL
Still can't bring myself to try this guy's books, no matter how many times I see him recommended when I'm looking for some horror to read.

Sorry to hear. A lot of people in our community haven't had to face it. They ignore what's in front of them. Classic bubble; I don't see it, so it must not exist.
I'm just saying this cuz in angry for you and not too say what you should do: you should have taken your money and rolled.
Are you back home? Any other options? Some people too dumb, they only hear money.

It's an easy way for people to hate without their conscience getting in the way. Terrible shit.

It's something people say about transsexuals too (see the whole bathroom "debate"). When some people don't understand or can't figure out a sexual orientation or identity, their brain for some reason defaults to "oh they must be into kids!" or some shit. I legit don't understand the mental gymnastics that lead people to that conclusion but lots of people keep doing it
He's not wrong in that a non-zero number of people would say that but he's wrong in thinking enough people with enough vigor would say it to start a firestorm, fails to understand that people could say that and still be interested in buying that game and I'm not sure he understands why people say that at all. It feels, since he can't speak English and has to learn about what goes on our forums vicariously, he heard about a bad story or too and formed an impression that way. This is another example of where if a Japanese developer had known when to stop running their mouth, the VAST majority of people wouldn't have given them any grief regardless of how strongly they felt about representation.

Combining this with what Vince said helped me connect the "stupid dots" (I remember similar "debates" about gay men in locker rooms for example).
Good on them
Hope it works out
Hope it works out well. Fingers crossed.

Gaming side has no chill, the thread about Detroit has gone as expected
You're right about Lovecraft's racism, though he wrote some stories that weren't, but many of his best stories were wildly racist- The Shadow over Innsmouth for instance. I gave my oldest son, a huge Bloodborne fan, a hardbound volume of all of Lovecraft's stories for Christmas, with the disclaimer that the man was an unrepentant racist. For me, I kind of compartmentalize Lovecraft. Hard to deny the quality of his work or the impact that it's had. It feels a little dirty but I am still able to enjoy the man's writing.
Yeah, had to double-take when I read that shit.
Did this dude really just copy and paste two pages in the same chapter? Did Ichigo really think just getting stronger will stop a guy that can change the future?
Edit: Sorry I mean change the past, present, and future at the same time? Bleach powers are something else.
Wrote a dang essay just to say some dumb stuff.
Niggas will do so fucking much to explain why we ain't around, now I want a game set in Nebraska or North Dakota with just black people and see the reaction

Thankfully the majority of the people in the thread are calling folk out on they shit
Morning.

I could never be a Mod here. When the Anti Diversity Squad shows up I'd be handing out bans like Hollywood hands roles to Jennifer Lawrence.

I honestly don't know what to say to other minorities when they complain about blacks being the alternative to whites just to combat diversity. I can see where they're coming from but given the nature of most industries any media that has a non-white protag is a win for all minorities. It's a step in the right direction. I feel like to other minorities we're the "white guy", and at times I even feel they'd rather have a white protag than a black one if it isn't their race. Idk, I will never understand the defensiveness that other minorities have against black people.
Yup. Though I still could see Kubo as a fashion designer somewhere down the road.
Yeah...
Tough to talk about.
It's worth mentioning that I feel our rallying alongside the demand for female leads and alliance* with feminism has rewarded us. Other minorities have my full support if they want to use the promising but small influx of more Black leads as a way to be heard and assert their own need for representation.
* I say alliance because Feminism was the other movement that focused on minority representation -- the need for more positive representation of female characters. And while we are both making progress, we're still suffering in representation.

It's fucked up but it's easier to digest when you understand that just because they happen to be a "person of color" doesn't mean they're on your side.
"We all we got" isn't just a phrase that sounds cool.
Fuck McCain, so should we've just left troops in that region indefinitely? Should we just stay static and push ineffective military action? What the fuck
We tried to position ourselves as the world's police force and it blew up in our faces, we can't sustain the perpetual wartime bullshit.

On a separate note do kids still tuck their jeans in their shoes?

The guy's a warmonger, so it's no surprise he thinks shit like that.
Just be glad he never made it into the White House.
