This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

We need to stop accepting views expressed on Twitter as real opinions. The sooner everyone assumes that the median post on that website is done in bad faith and principally designed to chase clout, the sooner we stop letting these fake controversies take up all the oxygen in the room.

Personally, I dream of a world where Sessler-types and the culture war grifters leave Japanese games alone. Such a world could be possible if we believe...

imagine acting like a Japanese game starring a little girl is somehow a damning indictment of an entire country while ignoring who's currently running our own

I wonder if Pragmata is attracting these conversations in part because unlike The Last of Us, Logan, The Man From Nowhere, etc. the character "protecting the child" isn't an enraged murderer? Could it be that the *lack* of righteous violence makes people uncomfortable?

Man, so much of the problem with a 'Dad Game' not made by our usual triple A devs is that the dad isn't a murderous asshole learning to act human.

Boy, sure says some shit that we can't envision parenting without violence!

everywhere you look, they’re adding rate limits and raising the price per token. it’s almost as if the bill is coming due and they can’t keep throwing money at making something happen that isn’t happening.

An important thing to remember regarding the shitshow that is Pragmata discourse online is that the games actual demographic; the coworker, just thinks it's a neat scifi version of the new God of War games.

Half of the discussion on twitter is fake.

because that's a man who'd do a bang up job raising three boys all by himself

5...clearly someone breaks the 5 second rule and that sets everything off 😱

Literally translating the way the Japanese language uses quotation brackets makes everything sound sarcastic in English.

i like how every game is now like this - five minute spot in the sun with the most insane right wing dipshit possible saying unhinged lunacy about it, then move on!

wheee!! it's mr. bones wild ride!!! i want to get off!!!!!

Nope. They have yet to include that series and there’s even a thread on Twitter chronicling every series they put in instead of FranXX. I admire the dedication 😂

Technically the Star Driver movie, but yes

It actually did. A popular (stupid) theory is that father-Nier is the intended version while brother-Nier is made to appeal to creepy siscon fans from Japan, while the superior american version is for non-pedophiles

Backrooms discovered in Gravity Falls

Book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs, with 'Sold' topping the list The American Library Association says book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs. Efforts to remove titles have become more coordinated and politicized.

I am a banned author.

Stay vigilante. These bastards must be driven back into the sewers.

Japanese dev makes game about how being a dad isn't a about how you'd murder an entire continent, upsetting the entire western hemisphere

Pragmata is interesting. Very funny to make The Last of Us but without any of the spiritual hideousness and everyone immediately starts screaming.

I offer an expansion:

I admire SRW’s continued dedication for putting everything they can in their games that isn’t Darling in the FranXX

Best of luck to you!! 🙏🙏

Absolutely incredible.

Watch with sound on.

This is the shit that made Christoph Ganz fuck up Silent Hill the movie

Pragmata is proof that the reactionary right will make up literally any bullshit to justify dragging a piece of media in to their culture war because it’s the only thing they have left as their entire ideology proves on the world stage that it is antithesis to human life.

As a buddy of mine said it on Discord, you can easily dismiss most current media discourse just by the fact that the people who start it are either ragebaiting for attention or have brain damage.
