    and see how the teens becoming adults react when shown even the slightest attractive woman. They cry “Coomer” “Gooner” “Porn addict” etc.

    1. Why are you, an adult, carefully observing the reaction of teens, and especially to them being exposed to pictures which make them respond in this way?

    2. I can guarantee you that these teens see an absolute deluge of above-average conventionally attractive women: in ads, in movies and TV, on runways, influencers etc. and they don’t respond this way

    3. I can almost guarantee you that this person is posting thinly-veiled softcore porn on the internet somewhere like Facebook, as if it’s the bathroom in a mechanic’s workshop in the 1980s or it’s a music video for a heavy metal band from the same era, and people are so goddamn sick of seeing a constant stream of this shit in their feed from their uncle or sportsball coach that they’ve given up trying to reason with him in the comments and now they all mock him instead. “Can’t even subject unconsenting teenagers to being exposed to softcore porn anymore because of woke!! 😡😡”

    Bro you have a veritable Library of Alexandria of porn at your fingertips 24/7 and even that’s not good enough for you - you need every game you play absolutely brimming with hypersexualised women and you need to see teenagers telling you that they find this stuff arousing?

    You’re right in saying that there’s something very wrong in the world but it isn’t teenagers telling you to use the most miniscule amount of discretion with this shit.

      All of the people talking about it who aren’t total freaks seem to think its good. Seems like it’s a soulslike so I have no interest in playing it.

      In Barry Kramer’s discord there’s been a lot of people saying its quiet fun. And thats a very nonreactionariy discord because Barry’s whole friendgroup and spouse (and about half the userbase lol) are all queer.

        ngl I was a little bit hoping that it would suck just so I could watch these cumbrained chuds pretend to smile while eating their plate of shit-slop

        good for the folks who actually wanted to play it as a game then I guess

          Its mid so they have do that any way since it isn’t the huge cultural phenomenon that there were latheing it to be to make the “wokes” seethe all the while everyone else has a cool game to play. Its the best of both worlds.

      Reviews have said that it’s good, but not fantastic. 8/10 seems to be about the average of review scores.

    Genuinely don’t see anyone giving a shit about this.

    The jiggle is comedically bad and the character design is mid. Nier has sex appeal while not having mid character design and literally nobody complained.

    The outrage about this is completely and totally invented by the right. Any joking about it from the left is half hearted at best because people genuinely do not care that much at all.

      Neir is even somehow hornier dispite that aspect being completely unnessary to anything other then making Yoko Taro hard. (By his own admition.) Calling it the farce to Neir’s tragedy would be too much. Its more of a dollar store version. Makes sense that chuds would want to put it on such a pedestal.

        It looks like an OKAYish action title. But yeah I don’t really get the design. It’s been made into the entire marketing of the game by fake outrage nobody gives a shit about. I like Nier. I like Nier’s designs. This on the other hand is so mid.

        I mean… Kojima too I guess? Kojima makes horny af stuff and the only complaint you see is joking about how silly he is about it. And his games are leftist even if the chuds are too media illiterate to realise.

    It’s literally just a piece of lace on a costume that has a lot of her body exposed

    They still have the multiple costumes where she’s practically naked

    What is wrong with these losers

        Nah. It’s a fairly apolitical spy thriller mixed with a found family sitcom, with emphasis on character development and repeatedly beating the reader over the head with a message of “war bad.”

        Not really. At it’s core, it’s a found family sitcom with action elements. It’s cute and fun, but can have a shitty marry and reproduce tone to it (despite being a found family, with, y’know, an adopted child) that anime can kinda do sometimes.

        It has a East/West Berlin spy movie aesthetic, but doesn’t really pitch either side as the “good guys.” The comic writer is an apolitical lib that just likes the setting.

        That said, shitty right-wingers also like it and are creeps about the characters.

          The family sitcom at its origins is a fairly conservative genre of propaganda like Father Knows Best from the 50s. There’s a reason a lot of more comedic sitcoms thereafter in some ways a rejection of the 50s pro nuclear family. Like the Simpsons and Moral Orel at the extreme end.

          I only read the bylines of the reviews, sniff, of Spy x Family and it seems like it is comfy at the functional end of family sitcoms. Correct if wrong.

          Eh pretty sure Loid / West Germany is supposed to be the good side and Yuri is the “Evil Stasi”

            I guess my standards for “is this annoyingly anti-communist” are incredibly low - they at least live pretty normal lives in the East and doesn’t have a “gommunism no food no consumer good” thing going on.

            You’re right, though - Yuri and Donovan Desmond have the “scary badguy” aesthetic.

            Yeah this was why I had to stop (aside from the plot not really going anywhere)

            The premise was nice but it got kinda boring fast

    Art is when animators have a circa 2003 understanding of how to use jiggly bones and the more amateurish and poorly implemented they are the more art it is.

    It’s always funny to me when g*mers complain about a company (supposedly) changing something to appeal to “woke” customers because it’s a tacit admission that the “free market capitalism” they like so much can, in effect, act as a censoring force.
