They're relevant in Asian Horror Movies if anyone is curious; its quite a popular yurei (onryo type).

You could technically classify it as a yokai and you would be correct, but some still debate whether yurei is a entirely separate thing or yokai themselves.

Don't believe will be a clear consensus on it, and that is actually good thing as yokai/yurei are supposed to be mysterious by definition.

There is alot that Shin Megami never used, I think the series will have a very long lifespan if they chose to use everything.

Most often these female yokai will likely destroy you than want you, Kitsune being somewhat of a exception depending on their intentions.

You guys ever remember seeing this little fella in various japanese media back in the 90s? Well he is also a yokai called Goteimen



I think he was popular at one point, but faded away from memory.

He appeared in the Hyakki yagyo emaki

So far I've seen four groups of yokai by region or country

Japanese Yokai
Chinese Yokai
Ainu Yokai
Okinawan Yokai

Just due to their unique history and language, etc.

Japanese folklore is pretty deep and cool. Their ghosts and monsters are pretty interesting and creative

I was hit with a break wall on this a couple years ago when DeepL wasn't a thing yet, but since its inception I've been able to piece together a lot of yokai stories and names that I couldn't properly translate manually previously (some I could, but some I could not).

The names of these yokai can be alittle tricky too, and throw you off course because it can share its name with something else which is really annoying like Tate Eboshi (which points to two yokai with that name).

They'll need Toriyama onboard before they can remake Chrono Trigger since it has that Dragonball influence.

This has been said since the early 90s. It's never been true and it probably never will be.

Admittingly I used a broad brush, but it is true to a degree with some fanbases.

Not suggesting all of them are shit really.

The Old Heads have a right to criticize current music, they understood way better than most since Music was a pretty big thing from the 60s to 90s.

The music in the early to mid 2000s was decent, but it started to take a plunge sometime during the very late 2000s.

This isn't to say there wasn't bad music back then, but terrible music is more common nowadays.

One thing I can't stand is current Metalheads thinking their bands are the shit when they sound like shit when its all undecipherable growls and pointless noise, I get some people may like that weird aggressiveness, but it sounds incredibly pointless.

Here is my thing; if the writing was for the purpose of having all sorts of characters from the worst of the worst and to the most shining examples of humanity with realistic writing then I'm all for the mod.

But in this case certain Mod Authors allowed their own personal.."ahem" issues get into the game and it reflects that.

This. Orcs were never portrayed as ape-like anyway so any comparison to black people or Irish people being compared to apes is completely beside the point. Tolkien took inspiration from the real world but really made everything his own. I doubt anyone would look at the depiction of Dwarves and say "Yep, those are Jews".

Orcs being coded as black people has always been idiotic to begin with. It just shows peoples' inherent bias when they see any depiction of "savages" as having to be an analogue for black people. It's fantasy; you can make people as evil, or stupid, or savage as you want and it doesn't have to be analogues to more complex real world people. Also, black people are hardly the only ones to ever be called savages in the real world so even when fiction shows actual savages that share very few or no similarities with real world analogues "savage=black" is beyond stupid.

This is actually a main concern of mine because Tolkien/DnD being one thing, but if they start thinking everything else has some kind of racist connections like say Zelda is when I can say people can't separate Fiction from Reality anymore and just causing general confusion and distortion.

I always thought the controversy with the Drow (Dark Elves) besides the Orcs was incredibly stupid because the social media nutters literally tried to tie culture with skin color which in itself is very racist.

Except he wasnt and nothing about the tweet is true (i know this is satire)

The problem is you got a huge swathe of people claiming Tolkien was racist in some particular way, and honestly I was starting to wonder if he was because last time I tried to defend Tolkien claiming he isn't racist that I got my ass blasted for it.

The tweeter "may" have some argument, but I admit I made it seem absolute which I shouldn't have done if we're looking for just evidence.

I always like to see what CE says because sometimes they know more than I do on some subjects despite this board getting a bad rep. for other things.

Ok but what is the point you are trying to make? I'm genuinely confused.

That its possible Tolkien took inspiration from Irish Cartoons, and thus we got the Orcs.

Funkydog posted...

So is there any evidence of Tolkien's thoughts on the Irish is that just one person's assumptions?

It might just be his assumption, but he least provided examples of the same time period as tolkien's works.

To me it matches very well.

The Irish and British really did not get along very well back then.

If there is any more of these cartoon depictions that it could actually provide a possibly solid link to Tolkien's own thoughts.

Its to point out how Social Media Critics got it wrong about Orcs (though Orcs still turned out to be racist, but not the one they thought it was about).

so it's still racist, just against the irish instead?
admission: i didn't read anything you posted really

Basically.

People on the crazy side of social media literally made it up that Orcs was about blacks, but instead it was about the Irish.

Ok that guy's twitter is something else (I don't think you guys want to know what he is into).

It seems like Orcs was more of a joke towards Irish People when they made Irish Cartoon Characters (because they depict the Irish the exact same way as Orcs).

It makes sense given its from the same time period of Tolkien's life.

The Tweet:
This is really annoying bc white people think orcs are rip offs of black folk. This is racist and it is also wrong. Clearly when Tolkien wrote the orcs he meant Irish people if you ever look at old cartoons of Irish people its super similar.


like the English at the time viewed the Irish like apes.



Further tweet:
My main problem is that they are taking something and applying a different meaning and context to it. Like saying "mac and cheese is harmful bc all of the ingredients are inherently white." Its not true and ultimately any rationalization to try to make it true is pathetic.

That doesnt mean he isnt egotistical, just means the others are too (in a way).

I love his games, and hes my favorite game creator; but the dude has an ego. Look at the whole reason he was fired from Konami; he though his game was so important he spent over a million $ on music; had like 100 track made and only used 1. He thinks hes good enough to waste that much money on a single track heard for maybe 15 seconds.

Thats new info to me, I usually don't pay attention what goes on behind the scenes unless its drama.

I cant really argue against this; he did insert himself in MGS after all (3 separate games no less).

But, he is good at what he does, even if he is egotistical.

He did that for fun (parody), and he isn't the only developer to do this over the years (just that they were not as popular as Kojima).

Have you noticed how much he loves himself? Have you noticed his name plastered all over his games? He's an egotistical MAGGOT.

He doesn't come across as someone with a big ego, I think people are over-analyzing him.

Certain figures within EA Studios would better fit that description.

Seems like whenever he posts benign ideals he gets trashed for it.

It kind of proves Kojima's point that people remain divided and hateful.

As for Jim Sterling, I think he always felt that way because I remember he said something along those lines many years before he got on Youtube.

Anyway despite how some people feel about his views, but I always appreciated his attack on the Triple A Industry since it is full of scum and villainy these days.

I don't know... I'm aware of more than a few female VAs that enjoy voicing perverted stuff and outright porn audio.

Although in those cases they knew from the beginning what they were getting into, rather than having something dropped on them out of nowhere.

You would be very very surprised how many women are actually a bit perverted.
