"Why isn't Link female in the new game?"
Same reason Zelda isn't male in the new game.
Yeah they say legend of Zelda is sexist because there isn’t a female. Yet Zelda is a female.
Why hello there fellow knight.
Feminazism at its finest.
They probably think Link's name is Zelda lol.
And the same reason shiek is always a man.
"Video games cause violence"
Man... Genghis Khan must have been playing some ultra violet video games.
Hey played them so much that he died of skin cancer.
Vlad the Impaler must have gotten his idea from One Finger Death Punch
Maybe hitler played wolfenstein and now he started world war 2

I have noticed that news articles say it is hard for young people to separate video games from reality but they’re the ones who can’t separate the video game from reality
Well said
Exactly, like bro killing demons in doom isn't gonna make me want to kill people irl, like what
they cant even tell what a woman is so why listen to these delusional fools
I used to think this too, but now I believe it might be true. With how online the young generation is I think this could possibly be closer to the truth then many of us video game defenders like myself would like to admit. Hell cuckerberg is openly trying to get everyone hooked on the meta verse and blurring the lines even more. I also think the “cool” I’m not your parent I’m your friend shit isn’t helping with not creating boundaries. Nor is parents and “doctors” eagerly accepting and pushing the use of “happy drugs” to get those kids sedated helping this , it’s maybe the biggest issue .. and do people playing along with this gender is fluid Bullshit good for society. Why is hard to believe that kids are having trouble putting video games in proper perspective when adults are telling them they can be any sex ,hell it’s getting to any species at this time. You can be a cat and everyone is supposed to play along or you are a bigot. Hell you are probably one of these people that thinks it’s cool. I hope not because that’s anti science and anti reality . So if you are pushing this anti reality why do you think ths is so far fetched? These games are getting closer to reality then ever and it’s a hell of a lot closer to reality then saying you can just swap sexes or species and actually become the opposite sex. These people have tricked people like you into playing along with their delusions. So more then ever the dangers. Of video game being played out in the real world is poignant

The person calling out the persona 5 soundtrack was trying to take a stand against some vague nondescript injustices, but instead ended up being accidentally racist. Messed up part is a quick google search would have shown them the lyrics and also that Lyn Inaizumi is Japanese. Plus Lyn is an incredible singer, her accent gives her style a lot of charm.
She makes the Persona 5 soundtrack iconic. Btw for those wondering the lyrics are "retort it" it's from the song "wake up, get up, get out there" the opening song to the original Persona 5 game
Always gotta fact check something
To quote Ryuji: FOR REAL?!
That sort of thing happens pretty frequently. People who have the "call out" mindset (for lack of a better term) have a tendency to not think about what they're saying. It's a knee-jerk reaction, mixed with a hefty dose of hypersensitivity that all too often becomes pareidolia, with them seeing problematic statements everywhere.

My favourite part of that Fox hit piece on Mass Effect were all the one star reviews on that quack's book that were like "I've never read this book, but I really don't like how it spends so much time denying the holocaust"
the confident "no" when she was asked if she'd played it reminds me of how, when the scandal that formed the esrb was happening, the creator of night trap asked one of its biggest detractors if he'd even played it, to which the guy reacted "i don't need to even touch such filth" like he was proud of it.

Hot take: Time doing something you enjoy ultimately is the best use of your time not something productive. You only get one life. Be selfish with your time.
Omg absolutely... I literally had this exact argument as to why I'm finishing school early. I LOVE learning, right? However in gradeschool I taught myself everything that high school is supposed to teach you. High school wouldn't let me take more advanced courses because I "didn't have credits" for the simple classes. I ended up so bored and disinterested in the classes I was in that I was literally failing every one. I was put in the more private online "make up work" classes where the first thing they do is have you take GED pre-tests to see what skills you have and which ones you need to work on in order to meet standards. I aced them.. They just let me sit there now because they know I already know all the classes they were going to make me take. As soon as I'm allowed to by the district, I'll be testing out of school and getting my diploma early. Then I'll be able to work full time and save up money to move out of this horrid country... (y'know.. somewhere that it doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars every year for lifesaving medicine)
@@rebrandedidiot Head to Australia, once you get past all the wildlife and sometimes strange climate (avoid Melbourne if you want consistent weather) it's actually a really nice place!
@@xavthesimmer725 as a victorian, yeah melbourne is notorious for having unpredictable weather, but It’s also very liveable and for the most part is very isolated from the most dangerous animals (at least i’ve never seen a wild snake, like actually never)
You will have more fun overall if you moderate your time correctly. Spending all your free time playing games now might be fun, but future you will have more fun if you spend atleast some of that time doing something productive.
"Video games are always bad" is a bad take. "If I spend all my time playing video games" is also a bad take.
Good take: Video games are fine in moderation, but you should also make sure you are acting in a way that is good for your future. Just because you want to do something or you like it a lot doesn't mean it is actually what you want. My grandfather liked smoking. That is, until he got lung cancer and died at 60, leaving behind small grandchildren that loved him. Obviously video games aren't going to kill you, but every minute you spend gaming is a minute you could've spent doing something that will make you happier in the future than the games will now. Play some video games. Also do other stuff.
6:34 this exactly is the problem. I remember when I was a child, my parents would always tell me “remember, this is a game. It’s not real” and that statement alone shaped my perception on video games.
"Have you ever played the game?"
"No"
That's basically the equivalent of Someone making a Review on a Movie that they never even Watch.
That's just as bad as when someone tried to criticize guns but then called automatic: "fully semi-automatic" Like what the fuck are they even on about then? 💀💀💀💀
At least with a movie you can read or watch an in-depth synopsis and have some idea of what you're talking about. With a game, so much comes down to how it feels to play.
That is the equivalent
I Love this Video
@Christov S L Toreh What makes that interview even dumber is that both the woman, Cooper Lawrence (and Fox News) somehow thought Mass Effect, this "Rated M For Mature Audiences" game, was aimed at children (or more specifically young boys). They thought an M-rated game that was originally released on XBox 360 (A console that at the time was widely considered the "video game console for adults," and has games such Halo 3, Dead Rising, the Dead or Alive series, and the Gears Of War trilogy) and dealt with themes, such as war, bigotry, and genocide. . .was made for little boys. Furthermore, I'm very glad Geoff Keighley pointed out you could play as a FEMALE Shepard in the game, considering there are some people that either somehow don't know that detail (TED Talk) or consider games that let you pick your character's gender to "not count" as games where "diversity matters" (Anita Sarkeesian). I also find it eye-rolling when Cooper says, ". . .They don’t show women as being valued for anything other than their sexuality. . .," when all your teammates in the game including the female ones are shown to be three dimensional characters that are also great fighters (For example, Liara T'Soni is a scientist that's also a powerful biotic). For crying out loud, one of the most beloved characters in the series is Tali'Zorah, who is a female machinist that spends her whole time in an environmental suit with a one-way visor and is quite skilled with a shotgun. To top it all off, some time afterwards, Cooper later admitted, “Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it’s like pornography, but it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.” In other words, Cooper Lawrence did as much research on Mass Effect as Jack Thompson/Anita Sarkeesian did on Bayonetta (But hey, at least Cooper Lawrence eventually took an actual look at the game). Speaking of which, Jack Thompson himself, called out Fox News for this gaffe. Yes, even Jack knew how stupid this whole thing was. You don't have to like a certain video game, but if you're gonna HATE it, then please have an actual reason for doing so. Also. . .PLEASE READ THE ESRB LABEL BEFORE YOU BUY A GAME FOR YOUR CHILD. If you have time to write letters, protest against video game companies, and go on TV to complain about how M-rated games aren't family-friendly, then you have time to both check to make sure that sideways letter E on the cover isn't actually the letter M, and listen to the clerk telling you that the game isn't for children.

Game journalists be like:
So, In the original Mario, Mario jumps on goombas, and studies have shown that Mario is 5.1 feet tall, that means that the goombas are 2.5 feet tall. 2.5 can be a height, or an age, and hitler was 2.5 years old once, meaning that MARIO IS RACIST!!!
I would have just went with the meaning of goomba to call him racist.
Thiz macs sence
But isn’t he stomping on hitler?
@Calvin Woodruff No, game journalists think Mario is a mass murderer of several innocent creatures that supports toxic masculinity and white colonialism. . .Yes, really, and as someone who has actually played Mario's games, I can tell you the many, MANY problems with that idea.
Mario
1. Is a brave, humble hero that regularly fights AGAINST tyrants, and card-carrying villains that brag about how evil
they are, and he fights AGAINST them because it's the right thing to do.
2. Has no problem accepting help from females, whether it's Princess Peach, Goombella, or the many other females
he has accepted help from in the past.
3. Never makes fun of men for crying and expressing sadness.
4. Has shown to be more than capable of solving problems with non-violent solutions when possible.
5. Has worked together with people that are part of species that he normally fights against (Goombas, Koopas,
Bob-ombs, Boos, etc.) and not only does he never express any bigotry, or discomfort from doing so, but he
has also developed strong friendships with said people (Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, etc.)
6. Showed genuine kindness to and befriended Vivian (Paper Mario: TTYD), who is highly implied (In the original
Japanese version) to be transgender and he never once showed any problems with it.
7. Is Italian (You know, an ethnicity that have been widely historically discriminated against, even by white bigots).
8. Was created by a Japanese man (Shigeru Miyamoto) and his games are created by a Japanese video game
company (Nintendo), which makes all the game journalists that insist Mario is racist because of "white game
devs that have feelings of racial superiority in themselves" all the more dumb.
Meanwhile, Ghost Of Tsushima is hated by game journalists despite having an all Asian cast (Japanese and Mongolian to be specific) solely because said game was made by an American company (Sucker Punch) and they (The game journalists) hate it to the point of getting mad at how people in Japan love and praise the game.
I would also like to point out that the complaints of bigotry that game journalists made towards Mario happened when Paper Mario: The Origami King came out (Which was also the same day that Ghost of Tsushima came out). In that game, Mario fights against a bigoted, perfectionist king that wants to kill every single one of the toads. . .Yes, Mario fights AGAINST a king that wants to commit GENOCIDE and game journalists think Mario's actions are that of a murderous, colonialist bigot. If you want to know why so many people dislike/hate game journalists, here is one of the many reasons why.
No matter what road you take the destination is always the same. Something is racist.

I've always taken hot takes and tried to guess what "trauma" the writer never truly emotionally dealt with that is causing them to write that article. Normally I usually think it's something small and petty, like Anita Sarkesian (or however you spell it) wrote her heart out on a writing assignment but a boy in her class got a better grade when he clearly phoned the assignment in. So instead of going to the logical conclusion that maybe she isn't as informed or as eloquent as she initially believed she was, she double down and would rather listen to the 10 whack jobs in the same boat instead of doing the adult thing and trying to better herself.
So basically I see people who make a living on writing hot takes as emotionally stunted nut jobs who would prefer everyone hate them rather than be wrong and correcting the issue.

On a real note, I understand the fact that violence can desensitize people to it, however it's not gonna be video game violence that does it. It's always a IRL problem, listen to a gang member, mafia member, or convict. The constant mount of violence makes them numb to it
Yep, the world before the first videogame was a paradise world with no violence. Then pong came along and everything changed
@@Llama_charmersure I used to think the same thing, but my opinion is evolving, you don’t think for kids who have now grown up terminally online that now things might start getting blurry? Especially with bad parents who rather be cool I’m your friend not your parent technique that is not a good way to set boundaries. And even more so this nonsense gender ideology where children are being told they can be whatever sex they want, hell they can even be cats in even more extreme systems. And everyone is supposed to lie and play along or you’re a bigot? Add the amount of psychotropics being pushed and now more then ever I can see the line being blurred. Hell the line is actively being blurred with meta verse nonsense. And of course A.I.!So everyone being so quick to dismiss this concept because of pasts studies I think is foolish. I think it’s a lot easier for children to blur this line more then ever before .
Remember, calling random people ‘fascist’ was an actual tactic used by the Soviet Union.

Videogames are a form of escapism but it is somewhat an emotional outlet, I’m not desensitized to horror and gore-I’m sure if I ever saw the things I see in games IRL I’d be scared out of my mind-but Doom, Arkham Knight, Halo, and plenty of other games that let me live out a power fantasy or let me rip and tear demons/aliens and it allows me to relax and let off some steam

@@DonVigaDeFierro Anime: Hey
It’s also interesting bc Pokemon actually consent to the fights. The series has multiple examples where a pokemon refuses to fight or attacks its trainer/owner instead, or just flat out leaves its pokeball and runs off on its own. 🤷🏻♀️
If the series was less PG, they would probably get killed instead. Like...not only are Pokémon as intelligent as humans, capable of understanding human speech, most Pokémon could easily kill a person. Even most of the weak seeming ones, probably could. A lot of them can learn Rock Smash, and if they can shatter rocks, they can shatter your skull just as easily.
I like that the woman in the clip talking about Mass Effect, who hadn’t played it or researched it says, “You’re a man who can have sex with whoever he wants, whenever he wants.” Nope. Besides the man saying you can play as either gender, I’m hoping he followed up with, “You get one choice. If you look like you’re just trying to be a player with anything and everything, then you end up not developing a romance.” Because, that’s what it’s called in the game. A romance.

Imagine being so insecure that you demand video game characters be changed to your race, sexuality, or gender so you'll feel validated.
like how people want james bond to be black or even a female
Alternatively:
Imagine being so deluded that you demand video game characters be changed to hit as many minority checkboxes as possible so you'll feel validated.
And then when someone actually tries to meet your ridiculous standard, immediately call it problematic for the exact same reasons you demanded it.
Isn't that the same thing fans got pissed about when Marvel got SJW with female Thor and Asian Hulk? Granted, Asian Hulk is blegh, but I've heard that Female Thor is all right. Of course fans have the benefit of hindsight, like Miles Morales being a similar SJW move but is then so well done everyone gets to go "ah well I'm for _this_ kind of representation, when it's done right!" and they get to brush over the fact that they weren't complaining about bad writing when the character was revealed but because they have a really weird defense mechanism towards nostalgic memories.
Another example is people (usually white dudes) getting pissed at the RUST developers for introducing randomized race and sex into the game. Seems to me that both SJWs and anti-SJWs are more similar than they care to admit.
@@fluidthought42 I believe Miles Morales has always been black in the comics. I've never heard anyone complain about his race. Character existed before there were plans to make an animated movie featuring him. Still, that character could've turned out terrible and many will prefer Peter Parker no matter what.
Imagine being so insecure that you get upset when a character is anything other than a white male
10:05 that creeping up the screen from the corner scared the shit out of me because it made me think there was a bug climbing across my shirt and I didn’t see it because my room was dark.
In Halo, there are both male and female spartans (then again, some snowflake will probably try to argue that there's a lack of trans people (even through the lack of trans people in militaries is often for a good reason)). One famous spartan is a woman who is literally the best sniper alive. There are also both men and women in the UNSC's various branches, all of whom, in-game at least, perform exactly the same. The smartest scientist alive in the Halo series is a woman. Sergeant Johnson, one of the most badass characters in Halo, is a black dude.
About PETA... They (PETA) kill thousands of animals each year and complain about tiny non-issues while ignoring actual animal abuse a lot more often than you would think.

Clearly you never seen the "fuck me eyes" he gives tingle.
Yet none of us could predict that a take was SO hot, that it got Actman's mother involved. The saga continues...
What is upsetting about "representation" in historical settings is that it champions a cut-and-paste philosophy that erases the actual history of the cultures they claim to advocate for.
I agree. I'm bothered by historical settings that ignore the general--often racist--beliefs that were common.
Rewriting history used to be widely agreed to be a nazi tactic, funny how the pendelum swings
It's also a mostly American perspective. In Europe, skin color means a lot less to bigots than your ethnic, religious, and/or national background (which are all tied together). And it's usually worst between neighboring groups, who have a long history of border conflicts. I.E. France and Germany, Finland and Russia, the English and the Irish (and the Scots...and the Welsh...and the French). Yeah, outsiders from far away might be ostracized, but centuries-millennia, in some cases-of bloodshed produce a deep, visceral hatred that's nearly impossible to erase. It's still there, even now. It's been smoothed down and chipped away at, reduced in intensity. But it's still there.

There is a "problem" with video games that nobody touched on. The way that people isolate themselves and don't form IRL social skills is a real problem. It doesn't matter the game they play.
@@ViviMyoung agreed to a point. i wouldn't say social media is any more positive for social development than gaming socializing. a lot of social media interactions are scuffed up, and allow for behaviors that people wouldn't do if they were face to face.
what happens in COD lobbies are not meaningful social interactions. they potentially could be, but even if they are talking to each other, majority of the time it's pretty superficial communication, if not extremely antisocial or hostile.
twitter is just absolute bullshit, it has the veneer of social interaction, but it's like a bad simulation. there is still a big disconnect between one's personality and their twitter personality.
