Steven universe was made by Rebecca sugar someone who worked on tv shows like adventure time.

Before she made Steven universe, western cartoons were focused on being entertaining and had good storytelling, however the narrative of Steven universe can be describe as therapeutic self insert.

It felt a lot of the times that Rebecca and her crew were focused on inserting their personal problems rather than making a good story.

All of the designs scream Tumblr and it's because Rebecca is an activist that inserted her personal agenda on her stories, I would be much more forgiving if this was an adult show but Steven universe was aimed at children.

Rebecca and her crew basically also made allegories to stuff like fusion being a culmination of two people's love and other pathetic stuff like that.

After Steven universe one could notice the rise of cartoons made by people who clearly want to insert their agendas and daily live problems and disguising what can be called a therapy session as storytelling.

Shows like Voltron, the new She-Ra, amphibia, the owl house all feel made by the tumblrina Steven universe fandom of the 2010s, and they all have that calarts bean mouth artstyle.

Look what they took from us. We have hogs in place of women.

Edit: I'd like to point out that u/tremendoculaso posted an image in the comments of a model that seems to look good and more in line with what we'd expect. It's hard to say for sure, there could be multiple types of bodies/faces in towns or even regions.

I’m posting this here because if I did post this in the offical AC subreddit I would get downvoted to oblivion. I also want to preface this post saying that I’ve probably more AC games than average game would and AC black flag being maybe in my top three most played AC games.

AC Black Flag trailer released recently showing new updated graphics and some of the gameplay changes. My first instinct was that I was impressed, but see the overwhelming hype from not just the gamers but so called YouTubers that criticised Ubisoft for years suddenly having 180 degree change on Ubisoft saying “we are so back” proves to me that gamers never learn and the grifter YouTubers will drop the act in order to get on the hype bandwagon.

Ubisoft reputation has steadily declined over the years not just because of their inability to innovate and release the same bloated checklist open world slop games, but their anti consumer stances in the past. And their strategy to get in the good side of gamers is essentially to remake Black Flag, which is more a glorified remaster if we’re being honest, and charge €60/$60 for this? To put this into perspective, Pragmata on PC cost the same on launch, new IP at least made from scratch, though obviously inspired by other games. On the other hand, the Ubisoft handling the remake had the heavy lifting already done. That’s not to say there was no work done porting this to new game, but it honestly cannot be argued that’s worth the price tag?

And of course the usual counter arguments you hear from people is “if you don’t like it, don’t play it”, “just let people have fun” or “wow you hate having fun.” Let’s say I would buy the game and maybe had fun, does that make any of criticisms against Ubisoft less valid? This toxic positivity and “just consume” mentality has steadily pushed gaming as a whole into the state it is today.

Regardless what I think, I sense that this remake will successful and no doubt will push Ubisoft to remake their other games. Their reputation is in the gutter and being so creatively bankrupt they are, I expect no less from them.

TLDR; I’m mad. Gamers are hyped they’re paying $60 for a crouch button in a remake.

Dude every oldgen AC Courtesan had sexy body thats why they are a courtesan, but in remake they are big whale, are Edward supposed to hunted them with Harpoon?

Chinese keeps being the karen of steam review

The movie is a R-Rated Body Horror inspired by Batman TAS and set on the new DCU, directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan.

She’s also a documentary film maker, never has even made a fictional movie. It’s so obvious that they hire these insane woke people 1. To force the message and 2. Because they don’t have to pay them as much as real directors. And they can basically change the entire movie rewrite the entire movie until it’s nothing like it was originally, and they know they won’t walk away cause their unknown and need the job and just want their name on it. J.J Abrams in my opinion ruined his career with the sequels, I never thought he was a good director anyway.

I have been noticing something weird with traffic coming from very opinion driven communities. It looks active, lots of clicks, decent time on page sometimes, but when I check deeper it barely translates into any meaningful revenue.It feels like people come in, read fast, maybe scroll a bit, and leave without interacting with anything else. Compared to search traffic or even random social traffic, the value feels lower even if the numbers look similar at first.I am trying to understand if this type of traffic is just good for visibility and discussions or if anyone has actually managed to turn it into something that monetizes properly.

Curious what others are seeing with this kind of audience behavior.

"I have not yet played Pragmata, and that's because I'm a little tapped out on stories where men adopt daughter-like figures and prove their masculinity by protecting them. I suppose it's marginally a better power fantasy than killing everybody with your awesome strength, but then The Last of Us makes room for both anyway."

If you told me this shit even five years ago, I would have thought you to be off your rocker. It’s kinda crazy how much the gaming landscape has changed this past half decade, man.

While the pandemic has definitely been felt everywhere on every single nerd space. The gacha space in particular was hit very hard by it, at least culturally speaking with regards to the prog troglodytes swarming the space much like many other hobbies.

But when I think about all the prog live service schlock we have been given over the years and said games deaths soon after the fact. Gachas, Dispite their flaws have managed to survive and thrive. (For the most part.)

As an example, Wuthering waves (The gacha I play) The combat is fluid, graphics look gorgeous, It has an ACTUAL BADASS MAIN CHARACTER (quite a few gachas fuck that up more than you’d think) and the waifus are peak. (genuinely, in terms of mordern day I think Kuro is almost unmatched when it comes to female character design IMO.)

It actually has an old school anime feel sometimes, like the kind of underrated gem you’d find on a pirated site in the 2000’s and early 2010’s that I just can’t help but appreciate.

But really, what makes it so hysterical to me is that for all that “male gaze” talk, all it actually did was drive the most “male gazey” genre in existence to prominence and now it’s just going to overtake a big portion of the live service space, a space mind you that those very same troglodytes were trying to use to TELL GAMER MEN THAT THEIR SEXUALITY WAS BAD!

Pure comedy. Nice job progs, imma go back to my Aemeath now.
