Saying you fall in love with whatever you watched first is stupid.

Thats like saying if you grew up eating shit sandwiches then you wont appreciate a good meal when you finally get one.

There's a difference between food and entertainment, but id you watch 200+ episodes of Sean Schemmel voicing Goku, then other voices will sound wrong to you. Similarly, if you watch 200+ episodes of Nozawa voicing Goku, then other voices will sound wrong to you.
When someone gets used to something, a massive change will feel wrong, so they'll say whatever they're used to is correct or better.

It's an Anime trope to have the main character sound like a child as I stated. Have you only watched DBZ?

It really isn't. Though, I guess I can name a lot of anime where the main character sounds like a child. Fullmetal Alchemist, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Madoka Magica, BNA, Yu-Gi-Oh, Gurren Lagann, and Jojo Part 5 are a few of them.
Oh wait all of those have main characters who are kids. Maybe that's why.
Meanwhile, you look at the few and far between anime series which star actual adults, like Promare and I'm sure at least a few others but it's really late right now, have main characters who sound like adults.
There's no "trend" to have a main character who's an adult sound like a kid. It only happened in DBZ because she voiced him while he was a kid in Dragon Ball, and when he grew up in Dragon Ball Z they decided not to change the voice actor.

Genshin Impact has brought out the weeb sub supremacists for what they really are with the Japanese VAs being roughly equal with the English VAs in popularity completely overlooking that they are both dubs.

Every so often some weeb comes out and posts about some mistranslation in english, Kanji included and everything and then someone counters with the original Chinese and shows that it was, in fact, translated to English properly.

I have legit seen some people say that "Japanese voice actors are better than any other language" and will seek out foreign dubs of English products.

Chris Sabat's Vegeta sounded like he smokes 100 packs a day but dub lovers are able to tolerate that because that's what they started with.

Slight difference between a gruff adult having a gruff voice and a young child having that voice.

Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler

She's 17 in his dream. She's 24 in real life.

Anyway, 24 and 18 is a huge difference in life experience. 18 is 3/4 of his age. They're an entire college education apart. 68 and 74 is a completely different discussion, since once you hit ~30 everyone's basically completely matured as a person.

So the thing I want to bring up here is this: A lot of people say "24 and 18 isn't weird at all since there's no law against it". Similarly, somewhere where the AoC is 18, people would say that 17 and 19 is a complete moral failing and that the 19 y/o is a pedophile, even though they're basically at the same point in life. To a lot of people, 18 is this magical number, where when you're below it, you're a little baby child with no idea of anything, but the MOMENT you turn 18 everything's fair game, you're a complete person, and you can totally have everything in common and have a normal relationship with a 25/30/35/40 y/o.

I can't find anything on a listed age for Brock or Ivy. And since anime is wildly inconsistent in portrayal of ages, they could both be anywhere from 15-40.

Because there's barely black main characters to adapt and usually their race is a big part of the story. It's a smaller bucket to choose from in general.

So then why adapt at all? Why not just make something new instead of halfassing a product to cash in on someone else's work?

It was based on a black mammie stereotype. Don't pretend like you don't know, Hoth.

A lot of people don't know. Because that stereotype isn't in use anymore. And while the original Aunt Jemima loho looks pretty bad, the more recent ones have all just been "smiling black woman with a headscarf". While it may have roots in racism, there aren't loads of people walking into a store, looking at a bottle of Aunt Jemima, seeing her headscarf, and going into fits of rage.
And to the 7 people who are doing that, they need to get their priorities checked.

EDIT oh if that guy's a white supremacist then yeah he probably knows and uses all the stereotypes.

It's neither a random site nor an argument. It's a page from a "registered video game release" information collection (regulated content; licensed for commercial use).

andri_g posted...

official classifications and specifications for developers games, which is what AllGame's content listings are built around

That's a fun claim, but that's all it is. Looking at individual game's pages, I see a total count of 0 sources linked. Without any sources, the so-called "official classifications" are, as far as I know, the ramblings of a mad man.
As the one claiming that this source is developer-backed, the burden of proof is on you. Find me a source where one of the developers says Ocarina of Time is an RPG.

Also, you're claiming Wikipedia as unfactual because of so-called
andri_g posted...

randomly contributed "verified later" content

, which just isn't true. Wikipedia relies on users, but many pages are heavily monitored, and sources have to be verified before an edit will show to the public. In addition, Wikipedia actually lists sources for its statements. AND I see you putting the emphasis on "verified later", but I think we can all agree that 22 years is considerably "later" and that there's no reason to distrust what's on the page.

And 2 more reasons for me to distrust YOUR source:
It's down. Allgame.com is gone. So obviously it wasn't good enough for people to use it.
The sparse quantity of snapshots for the Wayback Machine implies that very few people visited the site. This would also include moderators. So few visitors implies poorluy-moderated content.

Some have decided to veer away from an era of gender reveal parties and pink or blue baby showers in favor of raising their child gender-neutral

There's a massive difference between "not having obnoxious gender reveal parties" and "raising your kid NB". You can raise a gendered kid without having a huge party to tell everyone what gender they are.

Also, I really want to ask what the difference between an "action game" and an "action RPG" is. Devil May Cry? Bayonetta? God of War? Are they Action or Action RPG? What makes Monster Hunter an RPG but not Shadow of the Colossus?

Linking to some random site isn't an argument. Banjo-Tooie has a duo of characters go on an adventure to achieve their goals, becoming stronger along the way.
What makes it not an RPG?

Your random website says OoT is an RPG, but mine says it's Action Adventure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time. That's not an argument or discussion, though. It's saying "this person agrees with me so I'm right".

If I see numbers, it's a RPG

Monster Hunter World is an RPG, and Rise will also be an RPG, but previous games in the series are not RPGs.
In addition, there is an option in the settings of both World and Rise which changes the game's genre from RPG to not RPG.
Destiny is now an RPG.
Also, Rhythm games are RPGs according to this dichotomy.

Fallout: New Vegas is defiantly an RPG, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is defiantly not an RPG. I don't know enough about Dark Souls, or Monster Hunter to say if they are RPGs or not. Based on my knowledge of them, I lean towards yes.

That's definitely not how you spell definitely.

Creatable or otherwise customizable characters

I suppose the only Fire Emblem games which are RPGs are Mystery of the Emblem, New Mystery of the Emblem, Awakening, Fates, and Three Houses? Because outside of those, pre-made characters.
Oh, yeah, and this means Xenoblade isn't an RPG, either. Or Radiant Historia. Or Final Fantasy. Or Paper Mario. Or the Mother series. Or-

Anyway, let's throw in a curveball. Puzzlequest is an RPG.

I feel the opposite, being totally amazed by memories. Stuff that is pretty mundane but maybe attached to an interesting event

Recently, I was rewatching Doctor Who while playing Xenoblade.
Now, when I watch those episodes of Doctor Who, I remember exactly where I was in Xenoblade when I watched them ~7 months ago.

Interesting melody at the beginning. The different instruments clash just a bit, and the solo about a minute in is a breath of fresh air. Still nice to listen to, especially the melody in the second half. 7/10

Checkpoints

Lose a life, start at the checkpoint. Lose all lives, start the level over

An argument against this is that someone who's dying constantly would feel put off by having to restart the whole level and would be less likely to finish the game and buy future installments. Those who are already good at the game aren't affected by the life system, and those who are bad are unfairly punished after an arbitrary amount of time.

Always? In the TV show it happened like twice in the McCoy era and almost never elsewhere.
In the books people went a little overboard, but the revival quelled most of that.

I tried digging up on his age when The Time of the Doctor first came out and while there's the whole "The Doctor lies" bit with trusting him, he was pretty transparent about his age in the new Who up till "a few thousand years old" in Series 12. That seems pretty consistent till this episode since The Doctor himself didn't know about anything before that.

There were a lot of age mentions in New Who. Shame that the first one we get is 900, which directly contradicts the 953 given in Time and the Rani.

Lesley Sharp (a straight woman) played a lesbian in an episode of Doctor Who written by Russel T. Davies.


Bridget Turner

and Georgine Anderson

play a married couple in another Davies episode. Both are straight.
Lady Cassandra O'Brien.17 is played by Zo Wanamaker. In The End of the World, Cassandra mentions her time "as a little boy", meaning she is trans. Zo Wanamaker is not trans. (She's also not a flap of skin).

Straight actors can play gay people. Able-bodied actors can play disabled people. Humans can play Time Lords and other aliens. It's this magical thing called "acting".

they are NOT there to act gay because acting gay is a bunch of codes for a performance

This is only true if the actor or director is playing up stereotypes. Gay people are the same as straight people. If they're talking funny and limping their hands and giggling, that's not because they're a straight person playing a gay person. It's because they're a straight person poorly playing a gay person.

UnfairRepresent posted...

If you're not gay then it's a bunch of performative sterotypes.

Only if you're acting stereotypically. You can play a gay person the same way you play a straight person.
