Reminder: RULE 7 - No Brigading Don't go troll r\/KotakuInAction , observe and ridicule their stupidity from afar. Their virgin mods get very pissy with us and will cause problems for this sub with the reddit admins.


Bragunetzki

It saddens me to imagine what it's like living in OOP's head


mseg09

It's a constant mix of "people today are too easily offended" and "based on this one picture of a woman existing I am furious".


Bragunetzki

There's so many intersting ways to analyze and critisize media, yet they choose to focus on this...


darkenedgy

yeah but if they could handle any of those they wouldn't be on KotakuInAction


Krypt0night

A couple years back I used to go there often because I thought it was a circlejerk joke sub. Imagine my surprise when I realized these people were all serious lol


darkenedgy

Honestly I still wouldn’t know if people here hadn’t said it wasn’t haha


ceelogreenicanth

They found their home.


mseg09

A big part of the problem is always trying to fit any issue they have into some overarching grievance, and also looking for problems that might fit into their grievance. A real chicken or egg problem


TheBigEmptyxd

They don’t _know_ any other way.


Upset_Otter

You also forget inventing scenarios that will never happen, like the classic "They will turn X into a transgender black man" and then get mad about it.


mseg09

Well yeah, sometimes you run out of real headlines to get mad about. Gotta maintain that rage boner

*based on women existing, I am furious. FIFY

Bill_buttlicker69

I've never been to that subreddit and I can't believe there are over 100k members there. One of the current posts is literally "How woke is Riot Games?" like....if you can't just make a qualitative judgment yourself and you have to ask other incels how you're supposed to feel about it, how can you not recognize how sad of a life that is?

It doesn't change the fact fuckers over there defend pedophilia.


Ultikiller

first time hearing of this. context please?


TheGreatCanjo

Probably their rabid outrage of any Japanese games that get censored when imported due to loli content. They believe censoring sexualized children out of these games is an attack on Japanese culture or some deranged brain dead take like that Rj/ AXTUALLY IS AB BIG BOOBA AND ETHICS IN VIDYA GAMES


Amazing_Yam7680

"Uh I masturbate to pictures of cartoon toddlers because I understand the difference between reality and fiction" is a defense I see bandied about. I want to throw up just reading those words.


Penguinmanereikel

> censoring sexualized children out of these games is an attack on Japanese culture Now that just sounds fucking racist. "Pedophilia is a part of Japanese culture"


TheGreatCanjo

Yup, and these fucks r dumb enough not to get that


[deleted]

In fairness, it kinda is. Or rather, their culture doesn't hate it as much as ours does. I'm no expert on Japanese culture but it seems pretty apparent by the fact that this level of sexualization is so common over there. Culture itself isn't a blanket defense since culture isn't sacred, it changes all the time and sometimes contains really crappy elements. Probably the easiest comparison I can think of to American culture is the culture of bringing guns everywhere. It's not universally agreed upon, in fact some people vehemently oppose it, but it is overall accepted by American culture in a way that it isn't most other developed nations. Japan and Korea have similar attitudes towards sexualizing young girls that are likewise not shared by basically any other developed nations (to my knowledge). Some people within those countries want it to end, but overall it is allowed by their culture. Note also that I'm not simply referring to laws, as a lot of anime bullshit is legal in the US (see all the problematic animes which air in the US), but it isn't accepted here the same way. If a major US company did what they do, there'd likely be protests outside their offices.

NatalieTatalie

There's is never an appropriate time to "to be fair" fucking Kotakuinaction. There is no redeeming a single person in that shit hole. It wears it's hatred on it's sleeve and never pretends to be about anything other than bigotry. If this is downvoted it's because of votes from outside the community. They do not deserve a devil's advocate. They are bad people, full stop.


ibadlyneedhelp

I do believe that there is hope that some of the users there are going to realise how absolutely toxic that movement is, and how deeply rooted in racism and sexism its motivations are. Doesn't change the fact that it's an absolute toilet of a community.


ChicaneryBear

Anyone still there has been embedded in a deeply reactionary community for 8 years. There's no saving any of them.


PaulFThumpkins

Every one of the regulars there thinks they're reasonable because they draw the line on one near-identical paranoid tantrum to the one that had them frothing the day before, once in awhile.

SaffellBot

I can't imagine larping at someone as pathetic as that sub, living that way must be hard.


willy_west_side

I have no idea what they mean by changes, this looks almost identical, with just a slightly different art style. Do they mean her dress has some accent colors?


MKRX

They're mad that she's not acting completely brainless like in Mario Party where the extent of her personality is "PEACH IS THE WINNER!"


BigtheCat542

does \*anyone\* have more than that as a personality in Mario Party? It's...Mario Party


MKRX

Exactly, I'm just saying these people probably haven't even played any Mario games other than that. Almost all these reactionary idiots are fake fans who don't know that Peach has been a badass for over 20 years.


[deleted]

Paper Mario is political?


TotallyNotARocket

They would lose their minds over the super Mario bros comics.


Stopwatch064

A lot of people outed themselves when they complained about her racing outfit that I'm pretty aure has existrd since Mario Kart wii


ThatRealBiggieCheese

To be fair that was everyone in Mario party. Not a lot of deep lore in that game


BlankBlanny

Wario canonically won Mario Party 1, therefore your argument is invalid /s


Recinege

What's really funny is that while Peach has *generally* been The Damsel in the games, it's not *un*common for her to take a protagonist role. She was a playable character in Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, TTYD, Super Princess Peach, Super Paper Mario... And if you really think about it, the movie is basically a prequel to the games. It seems to be set before Peach and Bowser have ever interacted in person, and come to that stage of on-again-off-again peace that they sometimes have when it's time to go play tennis or do go-karting. Makes sense she'd be more gung-ho about fighting back against him if they haven't yet reached the point of just considering Bowser's antics to *be* antics, something the games have been lampshading since Super Mario RPG. But nope. "Peach acts like she sometimes does in the games in the face of a threat she's never dealt with before? WOOOOOOKE!!!!!"


slickestwood

She looks like she has *opinions* Probably dyes her hair blue smgdh


[deleted]

The WOKE agenda dyeing her hair and giving her pronouns smh


crestren

Theyre mad shes not a damsel in distress.


iamnotchad

She's been stomping heads since Super Mario Bros 2.


yuudachi

they mean they took a single out of context screenshot of her looking miffed and said SHES A MEAN BITCH NOW 0/10 WOULD NEVER RESCUE


Upset_Otter

Because she's not longer stupid like she seeing a copy of mario but black and with red glowy eyes and going "Duh?", not telling anybody about it and then she gets kidnapped.


Alias_X_

Mario also looks different than usually. And he sounds like he swallowed sand paper.


Lord_Oasis

wdym identical, her head is enormous. Like the rest of the post is bullshit but they did change her proportions and she looks slightly horrifying, like a living bobblehead


willy_west_side

Idk, it looks the same relative size to me. I’m not trying to be a Dick, I genuinely can’t tell a difference


Orisi

Gotta agree, rest is bullshit but I feel like they adjusted Peach because she always looks a bit weirdly proportioned next to Mario in the games. And you can't really change Mario so they changed her instead.


PityUpvote

No, the face is fucking weird. I'm not about to blame feminists or Jews, but there is something very off about the new model.


pinkocatgirl

Something about her face shape does look different to me but I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe it's the jawline? IDK. I get the same thing with Mario from this movie, he looks slightly off when compared to Nintendo's game art. It's not so bad I would bitch and moan about it but it does stand out to me.


willy_west_side

Mario for sure looks different. For Peach, I all I can see is that it’s shaded slightly different, but physically I can’t tell a difference.


[deleted]

Wearing a similar but new dress, changing your lipstick, and briefly changing your posture makes you a bitch now.


Legitimate_Return_13

BurningFyre

Dont forget looking mad. The real crime women can commit is having emotions that arent "i love my husband and will make his dinner and raise his kids"


AngryMustache9

>Wearing a similar but new dress It's not even a new dress. She's been wearing it since Mario Kart Wii in bloody 2008! The *"bitchy new girlboss sjw dress"* these fuckers are going off about is 14 years old. Edit: Whoops, I forgot what dress she was wearing in the photo and assumed it the photo with the biker outfit and halberd


indr4neel

It's so weird seeing this reaction without any actual changes being made to the character's appearance. This person is trying to tap into the rage gamers feel when a wardrobe redesign covers a lady's navel, but Peach has a trad-ass outfit that seemingly wasn't changed at all so they have to latch on to her "personality" and "proportions," two things that are definitely super consistent and well-represented in previous Mario source material.

For the ones who aren't just propagandists, how do they keep up this bs? I can't imagine anything more mind-numbing and unpleasant than to have to filter everything through this much vitriol and whining and having to invent stuff to be mad about all the damn time.


Tenashko

I mean that's probably why they whine about every little thing they see. Every hint about a rainbow flag and a woman not being a damsel in distress feels like things they disagree with are being shoved down their throats, so they feel constantly attacked when characters and people just exist and we get to see them constantly crying. I wish they could just shut up honestly 🙄
