I mean... what's so wrong with Sword & Shield? I get people want more pokemon from other games in it, but is it not a traditional pokemon game on a console? Unless you're talking about a first person view or something?

What they should do is a pokemon mmo... it'd be a non stop influx of cash for Nintendo... even more so than pokemon already is.

It's like the Tales of Symphonia style, or even playstation era FF. Lots of fixed camera angles. It's not like Zelda where you have control of the camera most of the time or it's behind you. The experience just doesn't feel as immersive.

Sorry but you sound too apologetic

Why would the actions of some random asian reflect on you at all?

Who cares what white people think

Because it affects our career, our relationships, and how society at large perceives us? It's not just white people. It's almost every single person in society. They'll take the poor actions of one person, and judge the entire group with it.

If you think you can get by in life without worrying what people think about you, you are being incredibly naive.

Good lord you sound pathetic.

That's their problem if they do that, not yours. I grew up as one of the few brown kids around mostly white people and never felt I had to hold myself to a higher standard to not turn them into racists.

How old are you?

Because that's the unfortunate fate one has when in a minority group. I'm Asian, 5% of the US population. And believe me, when just one of us acts up, we know that that shit is going to reflect poorly on all of us. The sample size is small so people will make judgments based on the very few they do see. That's why positive representation in media is so important to minorities.

Depending on where a person lives, their exposure to LGBT may be even less. When they don't know any of them personally, and all they see is bad news about that one person pushing someone off stage and injuring them, what do you think those people's opinion about the group would be? I know it's not fair, but that's just how human brains are wired.

Go jump on a strippers stage and come back to us with your gentle experience.

Or hell try that out in a metal concert.

I'm not saying I'm going to get a gentle experience. I'm saying if I someone gets pushed off the stage and injured, that's a lawsuit and potentially jail time for the pusher.

Just want to make sure I'm following your logic.

So if someone interrupts a performance by jumping on the stage and being disruptive that singer should stop what they're doing and win them over with...a debate?

No they should ask him to leave, and if he won't listen, people should escort him off the stage. There's a reason why Martin Luther King is the heart of the civil rights movement, and not Malcom X. People at large are moved to defend the peaceful. If you see the "oppressed" flat out attacking people, it's a different story altogether.

And if LGBTQ singers do this people won't care that their doctor is gay?

But yet I don't think this sort of criteria applies to almost anyone else who tried to crash the stage of a performer.

Dude if any other performer pushed an audience off the stage, they'd be getting fucking sued and get put in jail. That is assault. He's lucky he didn't land on his head. He easily could've gotten a concussion from that or worse. The only reason a pass is given to the performer here is BECAUSE this can be framed as a social rights issue.

"We'll go low then give them crap for not going high"

The appeal of the Democratic party at one point was that they were the party of reason. They were the ones who are supposed to be more educated and compassionate. It's more drink the kool-aid approach now. Their methodology is pretty much the same as the right at this point. Fear-mongering and tribalism. And I guess it's kind of working. The party may have drove some people like me away, but the people who stayed are ten times more rabid.

It's not just that stuff like this happens, it's that numerous people, including this woman herself, think that behavior was justified. I remember the original topic on CE, and a large number of the people in that thread thought this woman was in the right.

Seeing people defend violent behavior over incorrect pronouns doesn't garner sympathy or support for the T part of the acronym.

You don't have to look very far. We got an active topic now.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/77816538

yeah the guy was a total jerk for doing that, but pushing the guy off-stage where he could've gotten seriously injured is overkill. And look at the response I got when I said we should win people over with reason. "wIn tHeM oVeR wItH deBaTe". The left has fallen very far from "when they go low, we go high."

I'm pretty sure the standards have changed. Back when I was in high school and college, supporting LGBTQ rights didn't mean much more than supporting gay marriage. Now if you're a man who doesn't want to date a trans person, you are transphobic.
