| Topic | author of white fragility says capitalism is bound to racism |
| ssjevot 07/16/20 9:44:20 PM #57 | averagejoel posted... ok, so not all of the colonized countries nearly eradicated their indigenous populations. the rest of the point still stands though -- they're largely either colonized nations or are themselves colonizers Let's take two examples, one from Europe and one from Asia, Poland and South Korea. Both spent the majority of their histories being colonized and weren't truly independent until modern times (Poland not until the fall of the Soviet Union), yet despite all the colonization and oppression they suffered they are still populated almost entirely by their native populations and are first world countries, both having achieved that in a matter of decades after becoming liberal democracies (South Korea was a dictatorship and very poor until the 90s, Poland a satellite state of the USSR and very poor until the 90s). The idea that you can only achieve economic success by exploiting and/or murdering other populations is ridiculous. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | CDC says US could get covid under control in 1-2 months if everyone wore masks |
| ssjevot 07/16/20 12:04:55 PM #27 | Annihilated posted... The "experts" back in March and April said that the masks DIDN'T help and actually made things worse. That's true for Western countries. They refused to listen to anything Eastern countries said, despite them having experience from SARS and also ignored a Nature publication on the effectiveness of masks from the University of Hong Kong back in February. The West has a superiority syndrome that caused massive problems and now they've slowly been trying to say masks work in the meekest way possible because despite the stereotype, it isn't just the East that likes to save face. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | Black celebrities come out in support of Nick Cannon |
| ssjevot 07/16/20 6:45:29 AM #114 | Whataboutism is usually saying something like "you can't criticize us doing something bad because other people or possibly you have also done something bad". It was popularized by the Soviet Union which instead of denying the crimes they committed would simply talk about bad things America or other places did. Now China does a similar thing. So for it to be whataboutism, in the traditional sense you would have to say something like: "white people also say bad things, so you can't comment on black people saying bad things". The key to whataboutism is it doesn't deny or even try to claim what was done wasn't bad, it just simply says other people are also bad, so you can't talk about it. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

That's why it's systemic to this extent. People didn't start hating other people once capitalism came along. All the oldest literature in history has some out-group that is considered evil. Hell it's a major component of a story in the Bible (the good Samaritan), the story only works if prejudice existed at that time. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

The economy is the first or second largest overall (depending on how you want to measure it), but the per capita GDP isn't even close to the highest (there are a few extremely wealthy small countries making it basically impossible to ever overcome them).

| ssjevot 07/14/20 4:54:05 AM #59 | When you live in Japan and speak the language you find out that actually people on CE know more about what it's like than you. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/15/a-fascinating-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-racially-tolerant-countries/ That's the only study I've seen trying to compare different countries on racial tolerance, it's a little old now, but it doesn't show Japan as being anything close to it being one of the worst, quite the opposite. There isn't really a lot of objective data on the subject though. My subjective experience is that discrimination exists here, but it's still preferable to the situation in the US (the discrimination may be less for some groups [a lot of blacks in Japan mention it being better here than the US, and with the police violence especially I believe it], but the violence, political situation, and quality of life is much worse in the US). You constantly have people on CE spouting racial stereotypes about Japan with no consequences, but Japan is apparently the problem. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

"Calling racist japanese society out as racist is racist" There is a huge difference between saying there is racism in Japanese society, and saying all Japanese are racist (which is itself a racist statement). Most Japanese had no problem with this game. The TC collected troll reviews to encourage a racist stereotype that you are perpetuating. I live as a minority in Japan and my in-laws are Chinese and are in the process of moving to Japan (some already live here), I am well aware of the racism. However most people here aren't racist. They have done a lot to help me and my family, but yet to the rest of the world Japan is just a series of stereotypes. Everyone is one type of person with the same opinion. That this game has divided opinions in Japan just like it does America, but for some reason TC decided to cultivate a narrative by only showing you the worst reviews they could find should tell you something. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

I actually have seen japanese people mock western games. maybe it turns out some of them do play them. but not the ones I have talked to. I literally posted sales data. It's impossible for a Western game to sell 500,000 copies in Japan, being the fifth highest selling game on the system, and yet somehow Japanese people don't play and mock Western games.

In other words, a collection of games most of which you can play for free on some place like Yahoo Games is outdoing The Last of Us 2 at retail, despite a much healthier market for Western games these days.

That's a good point, but sometimes the "in-universe" spelling isn't very accurate or consistent either, like Koopa being "Kuppa" in some instances, or Yoshi being "Yossy" Kuppa is the standard romanization of the Japanese pronunciation. The official romanization is Koopa though. Yoshi has been officially romanized as Yoshi in most cases, Yossy does reflect the actual pronunciation better though in the case of the double s (though you still need to say sy like shii). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

In universe it is spelled Kulilin which isn't surprising because Japanese often don't differentiate between l and r for romanization. I think a lot of people here are missing the point of the original post. In universe, within Dragon Ball itself, her name is spelled Bloomers, and that's also the origin of the name. People are hung up on phonetics and missing the point.

Im only offended by it insofar as its low-effort pandering that speaks to how deeply predatory and anti-consumer this company is; it is a basic, low cost feature of a game, it should not have had a fee in the first place. Companies shouldnt feel proud or get credit for not nickel-and-diming already paying players for minuscule shit, because that is just basic fucking decency and nothing at all worthy of commendation. That's the worrying trend about a lot of this. Companies are making calculated profit based decisions on what social causes they do or don't support. This isn't a problem per se, but they market it in a way that makes people think they're actually on their side and not just trying to make more money. Academia in the US is very similar to this. They're constantly removing workers rights/reducing pay/decreasing the quality of service while running things that would be called slavery in most other settings (student athletes, research assistants, etc.) but they distract from it by pretending to support various causes. It's really frightening actually, because of how well it seems to work.

| ssjevot 07/10/20 3:29:15 AM #18 | Are you assuming the bible is correct or something for your argument? Why not assume the other religions books are correct? It's just as plausible. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 07/10/20 2:48:50 AM #14 | Conservatives simultaneously hate China for the virus and also think the virus isn't a big deal and they should ignore it. Lot of countries with far worse relations with China took it seriously and are largely back to normal and had very few deaths. Taiwan is practically locked in a cold war with the PRC and they managed one of the best responses in the world, so what's America's excuse? --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | legend of dragoon HD custom texture the remaster we want |
| ssjevot 07/08/20 5:51:41 AM #7 | These upscales usually don't work that well because you're just using the same old assets at a higher resolution. A remake would use new assets designed to actually appear at a high resolution. The problems with Legend of Dragoon are almost completely contained within the overly slow battle system. I highly doubt someone replaying it today would primarily complain about low-resolution backgrounds. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

The healthcare and education systems are awful. The current situation with Corvid is among the worst in the world. Not to mention the policing. It has more prisoner's than any other country in the world by raw number and per capita. There are currently protests regarding the police violence, and there one attempt to create a police free zone turned into a violent hellhole of its own. There is no way we would live there over Japan. We have more freedom here anyway. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
