I'm sorry to derail this thread but I gotta know, what's with the rape post?

You're all missing the point, we don't know if the dog decided to wear that costume or was forced to. I for one respect a dog's autonomy and right to choose.

German.

Anyone else feel he has more point than he should? There is someone else in the universe who understands me.

As it turns out it should have been more like: 'Our motives are too stupid to understand.' The worst part of it is when I actually get into arguments with actual intelligent people I know IRL, that are defending the ending because they "perceive" the meaning. What I hear its "I'm using my own brain to make sense of this cluster****" Can we put the Reapers on the Chaotic Stupid category?

You have it backwards. Nowadays it's more like "I bought the game on Disk, and everything's on it, but I have to pay some more to 'unlock' the content." The Capcom strategy, I just chalk it up to this day one DLC phenomenon.

Do you read what you wrote? Apparently since the beginning of the thread you're trying to prove Anime's shortcomings. I only sought to illustrate that you were berating Anime for things that are common on Western media.

Should we be arguing her or the actions of the cop? There's a bunch of people I don't like but only a few whose job is to repress me.

There's an organic servant that does all that stuff for you. Commonly called a son. Too high maintenance.

It's bubbles, I don't think it warrants an arrest. That's just excessive.

Have they released a list with all the changes?

I thought only Word did only invisible formatting maybe he used notepad instead.

Come on, now you guys are just making words up on the fly. http://en.wikipedia....ntrhydfendigaid Were they drunk when they named it?

is that a training video for a Korean mail bride?. Dear God, she just keeps repeating it.

If you really don't see the difference between cliche and storytelling then you really need to watch something better. Good storytelling happens despite the archetype not because of it, cliches rely on the appeal of the archetype while having no real story. Hope that makes it clearer to you. I'm not defending them, I merely don't want to be put on the same category as the one you described. Also, don't take it so personally a bit of banter comes with the territory. Yes its my second language, but somehow I doubt that my word usage its the issue here. Perhaps the odd phrasing here and there but usually the meaning gets across....Usually.

Glad to see you switch to a red herring. I was wondering when we would get to that. So now the point of your argument is the quality of Japanese storytelling? I thought that we were arguing the difference in our cliches, which by itself should make clear that we are not discussing the best of both but the worst. If you're tired of this discussion already, you can say so without resorting to name calling. It's making you sound like an old man

I so much hope they will do more HR dlcs... Waiting since months and they announce nothing. :/ Maybe the modding community will pick up?

The market practice it's geared towards middle school girls, yet the means remains the same as it does with adults. Its the old adage "Sex sells", so it would be really no surprise if someone older picked up on that and responded to it. But I just used him as an example of how the media capitalizes on sex appeal even when its not completely appropriate. No, i'm defending cultural relativity by pointing out the same oddities on our own. Starting with the Greeks seems to make the most sense since its the greatest example that our own depravities are not the result of cultural exchange with Japan but rather original. Its just a difference of perspective between cultures, not really an issue of right or wrong.

But without marriage how would we trade our daughters for camels and poultry? Our livelihood depends on it.

No it only means that you like gay black women.

You initially voiced your disdain for anime cliche's and then proceed to argue lolis, so I'm I led to believe that you do enjoy anime and your argument refers only to a few uncomfortable moments? I'm not pulling a strawman you're simply misrepresenting yourself and confusing me. May I introduce to you the newest musical phenomenon "Justin Bieber" a pubescent boy with the complexion of a toddler. He was preceded by the Jonas Brothers who drew unnecessary attention to their deviant sexual practice of something called "abstinence". Point being, that despite the fact that we have always had youth on our media now our icons have become more "sexualized". Now whether this and the pageants are a symptom or cause its another matter. But hebephilia it's as old as those depraved Greeks, so there's always been some sexual element to the portrayal of youth on media namely because this its the point at their lives in which they discover their own sexuality. So you are too late to win that fight.

You have taken an entire series of stories,traditions and archetypes and reduced them to lolis. That's a strawman. No, it doesn't make uncomfortable but you're arguing opinions not actual points. Cultural relativity old mate, our bizarre it's their everyday and viceversa. I could easily point out that children's pageants are just pedophile fodder and are actually more damaging ;since they do involve real people, rather than an animated show. Yet it's permitted because our culture values sexuality as key to success. So, are Americans really more normal than Japs?

I try being concise rather than do a series of long posts that are irrelevant and cloud the point. No offense meant to anyone, just a preference of mine. Ok Speaking of straw men... Maybe I'm missing the subtext of mainstream animes, but outside of niche pornographic material I don't really see lolis "being designed to elicit a sexual response". Just like outside of porn I don't see schoolgirls or cheerleaders as particularly sexual (also the whole lolita complex was started by Nabokov not the Japanese...So arguably western cliche). So for almost every depraved eastern archetype I can find a western counterpart. With the difference being that Japan has overexploited all of theirs. Look it's okay if you're biased because it makes you uncomfortable, just admit to it, say your opinion and have the courtesy of respecting someone else's.

I only tried the Steam demo, but yes. "Do not attempt to play Binary Domain without a controller. If you don

You are one strange drunk.
