Some sites have become nazis with their bans. Ive had two temporary bans in my life. One for making a joke that I was under 13 on gamefaqs, and said I was not in reply after the fact. But I guess being under 13 is a violation for that site. Other was Giantbomb for using the R word as a verb in reply to someone getting a cheap deal on product. I said they prob would be "overcharged" on shipping as a joke. I guess using as a verb specifically is too far, but you can look up games involving it on the GB wiki for it.

As someone who is part Native I've avoided Assassin's Creed 3 because I didn't have any faith in them doing that character any justice, and I kind of feel the same way here. I think if Rockstar had made the main character Native they probably would've handled it with more care and nuance than most, but I also could see them being really ham fisted with it. Idk, the film Wind River (and people's reactions to it) really cemented my attitude of I don't need to see a white person's idea of Native culture because it's going to be a mix of stereotypes, hollow apology, and self-aggrandizing. I'll also not let a poor representation ruin a piece of art for me if it is doing something else interestingly - like the film Bone Tomahawk.

I mentioned it in above post, but I think RDR3 could be a interesting take with a Native American main char. The fact is that as you said. You have no faith in doing it justice. I dont really either, and thats kinda why it is a issue. Its a really tough topic to deal with in this day and age. Throw in that its a video game that requires killing, it gets emotionally deep, real quick, for a lot of people. Thats just a topic no one wants to touch sadly. It can result in a press shit storm faster then you can react.

Ive never really much cared about race or gender in games/movies/books as long as it works, and doesnt go against a established story/character. Like reboots where they gender/race swap popular chars. Even then Id judge the finished product, and if they can pull it off great I guess. But that is a up hill climb to nail it, which they kinda have to do if they go that route. Otherwise Ares42 kinda nailed it. Most of us dont care. If the story is good, and its done well is all that matters.

Id totally play RDR 3 with a Native American main char. Guess I never stopped to notice there arent any in RDR which is generally a staple of the Old West. Bit of a touchy subject for the time period though which is prob why. :-/

The Switch was the first console of Nintendos I bought since a GC. IDK new Mario is no Mario 64, and new Zelda was a bit too empty open world for me. I especially didnt like the mini puzzle dungeons as a replacement for actual dungeon content. I also REALLY hate that weapons all break, esp the master sword. I give both about a 7-7.5.

Lol this is a VERY NICHE point of view. Fashion is a very personal choice of expression. This just gives me a very homogenized overly PC vibe thats hard to get past. Im really not clear on the point. You sound like you would just like womens clothes to be socially acceptable to wear for men, and all clothes just be labeled gender neutral? Or do you actually want the clothes changed in some fashion to look gender neutral?

I never got the love for that game. Tried it a couple times and could never finish it. Cant say I recall a lot of it, but remember it being kinda janky and buggy.

Lol, yea...If the car is on the fucking lot there is no new tariff. Its been bought and paid for already. Tariffs are paid entering the country, and are not retroactive for goods already in the US. Dont ever go there again, and write a yelp review about what he said.
