@ResoluteGP have a nice day - sorry things didn’t work out between us, I tried 😞

@Freak_Show i think the point you’re missing is, now that they’ve made the change, they’re hoping to court those customers

@TryToBeHopeful on man I’m jealous.

“Why can’t you tolerate my intolerance” is one of my favez

@Rhaoulos that’s actually still a bad example, because it’s not like Capcom is forbidding the sale of old carts, they’re just altering the current product.

If you wanted to make a car now that had 1950’s emissions, it wouldn’t be ok

@cdmac oh yeah, I was drawing from my memories pre-pandemic from “conversations that I drink through because it’s so dumb”.

I’m a future vegan, I haven’t been able to fully commit yet because I’d be dragging my family into it with me, but I’m definitely an ally

@ResoluteGP hey, I’m a Christian, and I say Solomon was dumb because (supposedly, in my religion) he had actual conversations with god/God and had his wish granted, but then switched teams later in life to false gods that didn’t exist.

If someone starved to death because they kept eating exclusively sand, I would feel fine questioning their wisdom

@TryToBeHopeful had two different jokes, couldn’t decide which to use

A) david wrote most of them, and he was a scruffy nerd herder with a slingshot. How hard could it be?

B) i have dozens in my drafts, but I’m a poor editor, I never know when to put in a selah

@cdmac a real leftist would know that veganism is bourgeoisie affectation!

@ResoluteGP Solomon was actually pretty dumb, but I digress....

I don’t know how to explain it to you more clearly, but:

When MK was made, it wasn’t censored.

When those artists were performing, it wasn’t censored.

Those changes were made retroactively.

For the record, Han Shot First

@impurekind get what? That you’re offended other people are offended and a company is choosing to use their development resources to alleviate the offense?

I flatter myself that you made it perfectly clear.

@TryToBeHopeful these leftists and their fascism personally paid ticket money to see Captain Marvel, KNOWING it had Brie Larson in it!

My mind recoils from such horrors.

@Rhaoulos yeah but that’s pretty excessive. Like, I live in America but if somebody in Nagasaki was triggered by Guile’s stage I would extend them sympathy and kindness.

@impurekind check this out:

When they play rated R movies on TV, they remove certain profanities, drug use, and explicit sex or violence.

Now it’s happened on a video game.

This is how the world has worked for time immemorial.

@ResoluteGP that all or nothing mindset is an absolutely terrible logical fallacy.

Wait until you learn that Mortal Kombat was censored for release on Super Nintendo!

Did you know that Wal Mart sells versions of CDs with the profanity removed?

Wow, we truly live in the new dark ages.

@impurekind believe it or not, I would probably have a problem if Capcom put a painting illustrating sexual torture as a prominently placed background object in a fighting game for children.

Call me a humorless scold, I suppose, since we live in a world of manichean opposites which contains absolutely no nuance or context.

@Freak_Show actually that Japan was a different Japan

@Chamver tell me everything you learned about pre-war Imperial Japan from your playthrough of Street Fighter II.

I’m curious what HISTORY is on the line

@cdmac yeah, but your fly was down the whole time.

Me and the boys were over here laughing it up

@impurekind wow, yet you use a site that would censor your ability to use a curse word.

Better delete that account.

“It’s about principles” - Ralph Fiennes, In Bruges

@Rhaoulos yes and no - I was being hyperbolic because at the end of the day this is NintendoLife, not the Hague or a UN Summit on equality, but also I am a bleeding heart pinko commie SJW and make no apologies for it either.

But I like to have fun and joke and pal around, and being born and raised in the South in an extremely “being PC is for <gay slurs>” family I’ve learned to just roll with the (literal) punches.

I love everyone

@ResoluteGP ah yes, the distant past of a 30 year old game.

I have my OG copy of SFII for SNES, I see this flag all the time.

However, Nintendo has not yet made Zombies At My Neighbors available on the SNES Online, so Konami, Nintendo, and LucasArts are collaborating to erase history!!!

@TryToBeHopeful oh, as for that part, he received a giant grant from the Commie Corporation to discredit people who are “not a racist but just asking questions” so feel free to make sure you offend the “right” kind of people and then you can censor away!

@Rhaoulos hey, that’s a good point! I have mental health issues and am a Social Justice Wario.

You did it, you cracked the code

@TryToBeHopeful yes, leftist media like the WaPo, run by Comrade Bezos.

Mike Godwin is a lawyer who said if you argue long enough on the internet, Hitler always gets brought up.

That got turned into a “Law” where whoever says “Hitler” first is ruled out by the invisible debate umpire.

@TryToBeHopeful sorry king/queen/non-binary royalty - I was responding to a response to you because I thought their claim was so outlandish I chipped in my two cents.

Mea culpa for any confusion

@BloodNinja

We’re not sad because you left.

We’re happy because you came.

“Sail Ah Vee, friendo”

@Desrever hey I think you matter <3

@AtlanteanMan @TryToBeHopeful wow, if you have a pre-existing grudge against Godwin you might want to revisit what forums you’re hanging out in

@Rhaoulos if “don’t be sexist, homophobic or racist” feels like a nuclear landmine to you.....you might want to re-evaluate your moral values.

@doctorhino not really, I have short, straight hair, a beard, and am 6’1” in skinny jeans and commie t shirts.

I do get told I look like Scott Disick all the time, and once at a Dave & Buster’s in Austin, TX a group of Puerto Rican women on a business trip were convinced I was him and took a group photo with me even as I assured them they were incorrect.

@cdmac tankies deserve equal rights just like all other human beans, but I reserve the right to tell them to stop giving me copies of Bob Avakian’s Dream Journal

@doctorhino the question was, are you cool?

@doctorhino no, I actually even specifically said in an earlier comment with you tagged that I didn’t support Stalin.

I just find it extremely sus that you pop up ex nihilo slamming the Soviet Union when you could be talking about the horrors of Japanese Imperialism? Or being nice to people?

Feels like you’re sliming in on a bad faith right wing sales pitch, so I’m asking you:

Friend or foe? Are you cool?

@khululy i feel like that analogy would carry more weight if the abused and battered surviving romans were still alive and having to see the iconography

@doctorhino oh boy, wait until you hear about this Andrew Jackson character if you think deaths and starvation are bad!

Believe it or not, we have a TON of statues of him where I live, and boy I wish we didn’t!

@Mallow I can just never wrap my head around people screaming and crying about how they’re NOT offended, darn it!!!!!

@TryToBeHopeful i had a feeling we were but wanted to expand my emotions outwardly in case I was giving you the wrong impression

@doctorhino not all leftists are tankies, homeboy.

I can support marxist idealism without thinking Mao and Stalin were very good boys.

@TryToBeHopeful I can love everyone and still think maybe they shouldn’t have a platform to vocalize hate.

I would hug a racist and ask him to repent, but I’d also place my hand over his mouth or my body in front of his fists if he was harming others.

@BloodNinja i’m trying to do my part as a bleeding heart SJW but these boyos with hate in their heart have me vastly outnumbered.

If I fall, please leave a shuriken on my grave.

@Aya-chan the frustrating thing is that things have ALWAYS been ripped out of the media, it was just formerly things like heresy, homosexuality, black people, communism, etc - and Freeze Peach Activists on the right were silent.

Now people are like “let’s take out imperialism” and it’s suddenly CANCEL CULTURE.

I, personally, think cancel culture was more HUAC, Hayes Code, Comics Code, ETC

@Aya-chan if I was a member of the UK Empire I’d probably try and be more sensitive to how imperial ambitions can trigger other cultures

@KillerBOB it’s kate grAy

“Do your homework” - KRS-One

@khululy actually most of these statues were erected during racial turmoil to send a message, this is easily verifiable and widely reported

@KillerBOB nope! I heartily and readily condemn the Chinese totalitarian government and the US military-industrial oligarchy.

I condemn Biden also for not supporting Medicare 4 All, a $15 minimum wage, authoring the crime bill, defending segregationists, and belittling the choices of black voters.

I’m a Christian Socialist, I condemn the governments of each nation on Earth throughout history as I don’t recognize the sovereignty of governments.

@BloodNinja in these trying times we need a silent assassin like you to bring us together

@khululy uh yeah I’d probably not be super tight about swastikas if I were you

@Wargoose actually in the 90’s my conservative dad and grandfather were extremely pissed when they saw me playing in that room and I had to hear an entire discussion at my 5 year old brain about how Japan bombed pearl harbor and we changed their flag and deposed their empire etc etc etc etc etc so don’t be acting like nobody cared then. Bootlickers just didn’t have comment sections.

@Aya-chan if you’re ok with being friends with someone who thinks other humans deserve to be ethnic cleansed and somebody else isn’t, that is not the damning insult to the other person you think it is.

@Aya-chan further left means democratization of power, further right means consolidation of power into smaller groups
