    Well, the large part is that, again, very public portrayal of Trump supporters has been as members of this group. Not-college-educated white men, overtly religious, bigoted, and violent. None of the other groups used as enemies have had this single viewpoint portrayal, aside from drug cartel members (which I don't think is that inaccurate) and Nazis (again, not inaccurate). If the group was just religious nut jobs, I wouldn't be as upset. But in today's parlance, religious nut job is too often used as shorthand speak for Trump supporter. If the media says "drug cartel member", I know they're talking about someone related to the illegal drug trade. If they say "white religious xenophobe", I know they're talking about a Trump supporter, regardless of how that Trump supporter actually feels or acts. I don't mind the stereotype, I am miffed that it is literally the only version of the Trump supporter which is allowed to exist in public media. I fully understand that there are such groups and individuals among the Trump supporters. But at least the media could acknowledge that I have a college degree, and that there are plenty of people of color and women among his supporters as well.

    However, keep in mind that I never said that those offended by the other games don't have legitimate reasons to be upset, or that their complaints are invalid. I use the snowflake moniker for those who believe they have the right to not be offended. Who use violence and threats to trout down discussion, or try to get the game canceled. You say that there has been a controversy around this game. Where? I've seen several news articles that say there's a controversy, but the only source is a link to a petition to have the game cancelled that is so obviously written as a satire that even the articles don't take seriously. I went out looking for the controversy, and couldn't find it.

    We didn't start a thread calling this game a horrible affront. It was expressed that being offended was unreasonable, and we expressed our opinions. And we're then told we were wrong for being upset because other people weren't (which is what particularly riled me up about the topic). We fully acknowledge their right to make the game, and just say that we don't like this aspect and aren't going to purchase it because of that (or in my case, because of that and several other things).

    There is nothing wrong with being offended. There is something wrong with silencing or denying others rights, freedoms, and actions because of that offense. I'm offended by it, and that's on me to deal with, not the company, and not the forum. But I am allowed to feel offended, and express that feeling, especially when it's asked for. And if my way of dealing with it is to not buy the game, that is my right as well, and a perfectly reasonable one. If the company doesn't like that, they should make a game that appeals to me.

    Finally, you'll note that I said the only game in the series I played was Blood Dragon. The game in which you're fighting a Bond villain who uses laser sharks. Because that's awesome. I don't typically like the more ultra realistic kill simulator games like the main series.

    The style looks similar to Persona 5, but I don't recognize the character at all.

    I, uh, I think this is actually foreplay?

    Even the name of the website sounds BDSM.

Video game site

by Pumpkin on 11-01-2017 at 03:02 AM
Hey guys, I made a fun, silly little video game site. I'll update it weekly with new stuff. I would also like a montly guest feature (there's a nifty one about Telltale right now by our very own KleinerKiller) so if you ever feel like writing about video games, let me know so you can get your stuff out to tens of people. Opinions, reviews, whatever you want. There's also a nifty site poll and I'll attempt a clay sculpture of the first poll winner! So check it out, share with your friends, etc etc.

Tekken Outfits!

by Pumpkin on 06-30-2017 at 05:43 AM
It's time to share the outfits it took me 2000 fights to unlock in Tekken 7! Unfortunately the customization options are somewhat lacking so I had to reuse clothes. Anywho, enjoy and prepare for a lot of pastel colours

Alisa:
(SPOILER)

This first one is just a pallet swap of her default outfit. I like these colours much better. Her hair is also blue and pink, my two fave colours (although not necessarily those shades)

Video Game Fashions: Atelier Sophie!

by Pumpkin on 04-29-2017 at 04:51 AM
Before Firis came along with her nifty outfits, we had Atelier Sophie! Most of the outfits are for Plachta, her companion, but she has two cute outfits of her own.

Also, a lot of these outfits are very... leotardy, so Imma go ahead and just label this whole edition NSFW just to air on the safe side!

So let's start with Sophie:



I like this outfit from the back
