"It's not a representation of Oppressed Minority A, it's a representation of Oppressed Minority B! As an expert racist, I'm offended that you misappropriated the racism here!

lol talking about consent in a fighting video game
hoo boy...didnt take long for the asinine comments to appear. and before someone tries to defend that statement ... video game characters can not and will never consent because they are not real they are virtual depictions of art and do not have feelings nor do they interact the same as we do in the real world. it is incredibly unlikely anyone will ever be able to convince me otherwise.
"That's not a pipe! That's a picture of a pipe!"
Video game characters can't consent, fine. But what about video game characters being portrayed as not having consent? A distinction without any meaningful difference, as they say.
Why did you call this a fighting video game? Video game characters are virtual depictions of art and cannot interact in such a manner that would be considered "fighting" as we do in the real world and on the internet.
Anyway, if they wanted this game to be taken seriously for its fighting mechanics, they wouldn't have risked packaging it in fanservice like this. It's full of scantily clad characters who aren't normally depicted that way, and the only way to win a match is to fill up a pink bar and climax all over your opponent.
Sidenote: the X in Megaman X is meant to be a variable representing that X has unlimited potential because he isn't limited to the coding that creates the logic of Robots and Reploids, he can learn and change indefinitely.
By the same token, Zero is meant to represent the integer 0. It never changes, but is the most "mysterious" number. Is zero positive or negative? Or is zero the separation between positive and negative numbers? But you can't divide by zero... it does not compute...
Edit: Oh, and I didn't even think about this one: any number multiplied by zero equals zero. Zero is the source of the Maverick/Irregular virus.
@vinny@ybbaaabby If you all are seriously considering disabling comments on videos for your own personal wellness and general push toward making the community an overall more pleasant environment, I can only truly speak for myself, but there is support for that movement.
Seconded. A lot of times it's a broken record, and the song isn't that great.
People who pick on others for being upset or critical are weak. And the people claiming that Dan is a good heel are the ones that wouldn't know a good heel if it roundhoused them in the face. However many times it needs to be said, this is not wrestling. These are semi-regular people playing video games for a website. This isn't some Tooth Fairy shit where if enough people believe it, it suddenly becomes true. Heels only exist in wrestling. A troll is not the same thing as a heel. If the audience can't tell you're trying to be a heel, it's not the audience's fault, and you're not a heel.
There aren't any protagonists and antagonists, or everyone would have ganged up on Dan throughout the feature. But they didn't, because that would not have been fun, because this is not a soap opera, and because they're not assholes.
There wasn't some wacky bet Dan was trying to get out of by wanting to keep playing this awful, awful game. Dan was just trying to recover his wounded pride. And because he was unsuccessful and visibly upset, the part of Dan's fanbase that doesn't simply enjoy him for his outright heel trolling felt imbalanced and needed to leave comments about what a great professional wrestler he is. What they are doing is completely understandable, but it's completely unnecessary in terms of what this website requires to produce good content. This shit belongs on Twitter, where people can heap one-liners of praise or criticism and go about their day not knowing they're being ignored, and where nobody writes an essay explaining why the same pattern of injury and defense keeps surrounding one of the staff members.
Because here's another comments section partially devoted to something controversial Dan did during a feature. So yes, disable the comments if they're not going to add anything of value and will only upset the people providing the content, especially if it comes across as making your audience choose sides.
With that said, congratulations to Vinny, the undisputed four-time Fuzion Frenzy champion, even though they only played the game one time! He's just that much better than everyone else who was playing the game, and we have documented evidence to prove it.
