again.......and? does it affects the game i am playing?
i am not like some of you guys here...i am not gonna throw a fit if the men/women dichtomy is less 'traditional'...i.e. if there's less 'men saving princess' plot in games or women become 'stronger' than men in game's stories or seeing more LGBT+ on-screen....it doesn't really affects me. in fact, seeing princess peach needing to be saved by mario for the last 30 years, it will probably breath new interest in me if mario got kidnapped and princess peach is saving him for once or twice or Zelda became a new protagnist for a zelda game instead of link or a new God of war games stars a female character other than Kratos. As a writer myself, i want to see things and themes in fictional stories continue to move and pace with the times...instead of continue to be stuck in the same tired genre tropes over and over again. i am writing stories in the year 2024. Not 1995.
Again....if i were you guys, instead of raging over something that's supposed to be your past-time for you to chill and relax, it will be better to move on to another thing that best suits your taste. I used to like Halo games. Once Halo became something i can no longer connect, instead of raging and whing why can't it cater to ME ME ME ME, i move on to other things that is up my taste. it's just that simple. give it a try.
The idea of 'matter of principle'...principle of what? If you can explain what actual 'principle' you are trying to defend, The stage is yours for you to reply. And please.....don't tell me it's regarding the principle of 'censorship'. Nothing in this world, especially consumer products is 'uncensored'. I watched Nightmare at Elm street, Friday the 13th, Robocop and John Carpenter's The Thing when i was only primary 1. As much as i love them as a kid (because parents in the 80s dont really cares what the kid watched as long as the kid is quiet), i will probably not let my hypothetical kid at the same age as me then watch it. Am i censoring my kid? If you watched movies and TV series (even HK TVB and Singapore's) in the 80s, you will see characters wielding a ciggerettes and smoking in-doors left and right but you don't see it at all now.....not even in Hollywood productions (unless it's M18 and HBO stuff). Is that woke censorship or is it just the signs of the times?
Just what kind of 'uncensorship' are you standing up in principle anyway?
Or did you just became the same kind of old uncles that we 80s/90s kid used to ridicule and look down in those days....you know the same kind of kopitiam uncles that like to spout 'back in my days, we are built stronger and better at you guys, now you kids are whiny bitches, etc etc etc'......
Time is definitely a loop. Most kids, teenagers and young adults have more liberal inclination in-line with the specific times until they grow old when they became conservatives desperately clinging to their own past while denouncing the current times as 'dark ages' and 'back in my time it's better because.....'. Rince, repeat.
