I'm pinning this comment for all the seething redditors to come in here and hate it. Also: I'm not saying Mana is gay, just that it has a gay artstyle. Katamari is gay for sure. But it's a kids game.
It used to be called just common sense. Dudes saying what everyone thinks but that big tech has tried to censor for years. I dont know how for the life of me hes still getting away with this but Im damn happy he is.
This comment gives me such goosebumps I share this sentiment every time this stuff comes up it's crazy that the 2000s managed to be such a high point with gaming with the tech they have. I feel like the lack of made us as a people's innovate more and only let technology assist us now we ride back seat and let the tech do all the work it's soulless
The tech improved but the people using the tech got replaced. I mean I'd probably do laps quicker in my car than a Ferrari because I'd lose control and crash it half way
Easy. There was a shift from contant to graphics. Fundamentally changing what is in the games. Remeber god of war? That game was killing mobs in their 1000s. Ton of honkahonkers, And a angry greek dude. Than God of war morfed into Dad of Boi, a walking sim with the odd mob to kill. Also no honkahonkers in site. Games back in the day, was like here is how it works, im only going to tell you this once. This is how you move, off you go. No quest arowes, no hand holding. You needed to take notes sometimes. The people making the games of old, tryed to make an intressting world, world building was a thing, well writen dialog and story. some games even had companons, guess what, they where well writen. Games of old also tryed to make the best looking characters that the graphics alowed them to. Now it is for the moden audienace, handholding, dumbing down of everything. world building, is for the most part no there, dialog, story, companons, does not matter and is poorly writen. Also no attractive female characters. So good looking graphics means jack squat unless the rest of the content in the game is any good. Sometimes the moden game devs fail at both. Bad graphics and full of bugs, piss poor dialog, story, world building.
I remember playing Sons of Liberty and even then thinking "Snake's sort of monk-mode asexual and not into chicks from war or something, but this Raiden guy is just kind of effeminate."
@andypantsgaming I think the ghost of yotei is fine, but the other games have downgraded very much it's not the characters or stuff. it is the story and the gameplay
@@andypantsgaming doesnt this remind you of something? 4:34 "the king of cosmos sent his only son to settle the heavens above"... Yeah theyre mocking Christianity
I have this little philosophy that, as I always wish I could go back to those days, I wouldn't really want to go back to them. What I think I really wish for is that the 90's/2000's could have come with us instead. I wish that it was like the 90's/2000's right now but with modern technology and advancements. I don't want to go back in time, I just wish we still lived in the same world but better. I can't recognize the world I live in anymore, and I'm sick of being labeled as a "threat" to society every single day when I barely leave my house and live a perfectly moral life. My worst crimes are commenting my thoughts online with careful wording so as not to be deleted by the overlords, and not buying current video games nor tickets to modern movies... If this was the 2000's still then I could completely be myself and nobody would bat an eye. In fact, I think it would benefit everyone, it felt like back then people were starting to progress into letting people live the lives they wished. It could have led to such a better society...but the way that 'acceptance' was forced into the world reverted everyone, and now we are so much further from living with each other in peace than we were 20 years ago. Companies giving into sensitive little snowflakes on Twitter really was the worst thing that has ever happened to our culture.
I wanted to be a youtuber when I grow up and now look at what "youtubers" are being labeled as nowadays... this youtuber here tho is the real one but is getting hate just for wanting games to go back to being PEAK. How m3ntally ill/psych0pathic (I don't want youtube to silence me for using "triggering" words) do you have to be to send d3ath threats to a random person over the internet for having different opinion than you. Most guys in person would agree with the state of gaming or just not care, but the internet is full of unhinged d3g3ns that get triggered over the slightest thing. They're all talk.
@@le_fancy_squid Well said. but personaly, I'd rather go back to 2004... It was probably one of the best years of my life! and the entire 2000's was a great decade actually.... thing is, even if you take away all that "forced acceptance" and toxicity, all that "care not to offend anyone, but everything offends everyone so your care is actually in vain" even if you take that away from today's society, there are still other problems in the culture, and especially in the entertainment industry... Despite technological superiority, games are now increasingly generic and seen by companies as cash farms, instead of what it was in the 2000s, which despite having an interest in profits, was still niche and aimed at the nerd audience of the 90s, it still had soul, most devs worked in the area because they did what they liked, which created incredible products that even with the limited technology of the time managed to go very far, we had magnificent games that didn't age a single day, masterpieces like GT4 on the PS2 for example... and there were games with splitscreen, god bring back splitscreen... we had a culture involved with real humans and not this virtual ilusion that we got today. I lost count of how many summer vacation nights I spent playing my Nintendo 64 with my brother all night long... These memories can no longer be replicated because things will never be the same again... the world stopped being incredible and gave way to something generic and less happy and real. The technology that was supposed to bring us closer has made everyone more distant one of the worst things that happened to us was the creation of social networks for example, anyway, this whole problem goes much further, after 2012 we didn't know what we were doing and everything evolved into a worse version of our world. Most of those who lived through that time think about going back there, every day.
The comment about China is so true. For a couple of years now, I've been taking screen shots of the ads that would pop up at the side on RUclips videos, and there would always be these 'Are You Gay?' quiz and weird gay ads that would pop up (and the videos I watch have nothing to do with the LGBT community). When you click the info button to see where the ad comes from, it always says Beijing China or somewhere in China.

to be fair Katamari was a Goat one of PS2 games and Trials of Mana was released with no censorship (except ps4) before Woke DEI fully invade Square Enix.
DEI scores. Back then, the suits would want you to make a macho game so all the boys buy it. Now, they want you to make the game as DEI-friendly as possible so they get their early check from Blackrock.
I wouldn't put Katamari Damacy or Trials Of Mana on the topic of gay or DEI dude. I do think there are some activists going on right now that are trying to bring the game industry down, but Katamari Damacy is a game that came out in 2004 and its suppose to be fruitful and has wacky Japanese sense of humor. I highly doubt its gay. And Trials Of Mana is a SNES game that only came out in Japan and got a remake finally giving Americans a chance to play when they had to use a fan translation and it always had this kind of art style, even Secret Of Mana had that anime art style. Guess some people can't handle colorful, fairy tale styled games.
This guy is a PHONY. He says he loves to play Watch Dogs 2, goes thru the game at least once every summer. A game set in San Fran made for the modern audience with gay naked men roaming the streets.
Yeah. I honestly was confused as to how Katamari was 'gay' The game's premise is simple with the main hook being how big can you get the ball in a cartoonishly funny world. It's a good weekend game.
Your content reminds me of the way me and my buddies used to talk 15+ years ago when everybody wasn't such a super special snowflake. It's a breath of fresh air.
Funnily enough in school 15 years ago I think my friends and I talked way worse than this...this channel is still mild and tame compared to the jokes we made. But being that it's been so long I have to agree that it really is a breath of fresh air to watch these videos.
@@just5609 thats not being a special snowflake, we just want games that are made for actual gamers. not casuals. granted, andypants is a casual console gamer
Personally, I love Katamari, I remember my uncle buying it for me when I was a kid. I get your point, but I think katamari was EXPLICITLY made to be weird. I mean you quite literally are rolling up people, cars, clouds, thumbtacks, etc, in one big roller ball. But I get your point for the others.
I'm 26, my mom wouldn't allow me to get an original Xbox when I was a kid because she was afraid the size of the controller would give me carpal tunnel. So I spent my childhood putting hundreds of hours into the Summer Jampack 2002 demo disc with Half-Life and Timesplitters 2 and Grand Theft Auto. When I first rented Vice City in 2002, I remember getting the katana from the coffee shop and giggling when I decapitated the pedestrians. I watched my brother beat three games to completion, MGS2, FFX, and Matrix. I remember him raging at Tidus's dad at the end of the game. I miss those days.
I remember playing the matrix growing up and couldn’t wait till I finally got to the point where I could fly around the city, you can imagine my disappointment..
What I find hilarious about this video is that Katamari was released on the PS2 in 2004, your argument of it being "gay" now is redundant when it's always been like that. Secondly. Metal Gear has a massive number of gay undertones to it. Raiden originally meant to be androgynous, you literally banging Kaz in Peace Walker, Snake's and Otacons' relationship, I could go on and on, but I think you get it.
It's because andypants is a grifter lol. He seems to support the right-wing cause but his arguments and points fall completely flat that he puts a bad representation for it. He complains games nowadays are gay compared to back then yet he called trials of mana & katamari 'gay games' despite those games being over 20 years old. His taste in video games blinds his arguments of the overall gaming landscape being worse and compares how games back then were all M rated and mature despite kid friendly games always existing too since the beginning of the industry. But i guess they're gay according to him 😂
Brother really claimed "We love Katamari" and "Secrets of Mana" as DEI games 💀 I know there is a lot of DEI agenda in modern game industry, but really? If anime/cartoonish artstyle is gay now, then games like Mario Odyssey is gay too? Or Zelda Tears of the Kingdome? Cuphead? Fall guys? Among Us? At this point even chess can became DEI game, because black can win.
@@andypantsgaming first is children game, second is anime/jrpg. How is they gay? They not looks masculine/serious? Well, TLOU 1-2 looks very masculine, but it was one of the most gayest game i ever seen.
@@andypantsgaming secret of mana is one of the most beloved JRPGs and spurned real time active control in ARPGs. Can you be any gayer for CliffyB and gruff dudes
@@originalvox2530it's very clear andypants never grew up with nintendo or any anime-like games so he considers all of their games to be gay because apparently if a game isn't rated M and has violence and gore to it with realistic graphics, then it's gay according to him. He's not a good representation of the old school gamer if his taste in games are just shooters. I'd recommend synthetic man since at least he appreciates edgy games and goofy light hearted ones from back in the day.
There’s a huge difference between things like Suicide Squad, Concord, Saints Row Reboot, Dustborn, etc and things like Katamari Damacy, or Wind Waker, etc. Like, no dude, not EVERY single game needs to be overtly gears of war masculine. Are you really gonna look at Astro Bot and be like “oh my god, this looks fuckin gay dude”. It’s so telling that dude specifically chose Katamari to whine about, when it’s from the same year as the other games you’re using as masculine examples. “Pikmin? You have to lead around fuckin *flowers*? Jesus that’s gay” like dude you have to know it’s more nuanced than that
It's thinking the pretense of color indicates how gay it is. Sure the gays flaunt color like children, but fact is it's the true artists that knows how to use color. Never mistake a colorful masterpiece for being vapid, or you might just call yourself out for being superficial.
What would your 12 years old self say about a game where "you lead happy colorful flowers around"? Was there any adjective they'd be highly likely to use?
I think games like Astro Bot are good. There definitely is rated E games that appeal to kids too that don't need to be masculine. He says it's dumb that people bring up the fact he's comparing triple A games to random game pass indie games but it's a valid criticism. Not every game needs to cater to the masculine male audience. As long as there's no woke stuff in the indie games I don't see a problem with them. It's something I'd play with my kids.
@@Dovonan he acts as though back in ‘04, there weren’t games that he’d say are gay (even though he specifically chooses Katamari to complain about). Back then there were tons and tons of girly lame shit coming out, but the difference is that back then, games were allowed to be made with very specific audiences in mind. So we were allowed to get games like Force Unleashed, where its sole purpose was to just be fuckin cool. Nowadays, games need to be made for everyone, so you get a lame ugly chick to play as with a cutesy marketable plush animal side kick, and the story cannot in any way offend or upset, or do anything interesting, yada yada yada. Looking at a game like Katamari, or some random cute indie puzzle game that no one’s heard of, or any game with a cartoonish style that’s cel shaded and spouting “gay!!” like it’s the same thing as Suicide Squad and Saints Row, games that SHOULD be playing towards masculine audiences but are having politics and lgbt artificially injected into them, is just stupid
it's more so that you people think all games back then were masculine yet wind waker is an old game from 2002? Katamari (one of the games shown in the video) is a game from 2004? So were games gay & propaganda 20 years ago too? You clowns have no logic in your argument so if anything, you must hush little zoomer. Even MGS had its gay moments like with Vamp being bisexual and Volgin touching Snake's balls through his disguise. It's clear you never actually played any games from the 2000s 😂
Warms my heart seeing Tom Clancy content enjoyers. I grew up on splinter cell double agent and chaos theory. I have yet to get into EVERYTHING Tom Clancy. Any recommendations?
"Trials of Mana" is a remake of the 1995 classic SNES game "Seiken Densetsu 3." The original wasn't released in the West like many story-rich RPGs back in the day. I am a 45-year-old man and remember playing the original translated ROM on my PC. Although I believe in most things you say about games becoming more woke, the original "Trials of Mana" is probably older than you and definitely wasn't a woke SNES game. Also, having a colorful art style doesn't make something "woke" or "gay." The gay/trans community doesn't own colors. A game doesn't need to be dark, bleak, blood, and gore to be a good game.
@@laugh746 fr Each time I see a guy meat riding an obscure game I just think to myself that they just want to be different so bad I'll stick to Mario, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts
I saw this as a meme a friend sent me and as somebody who doesn't have the bell on, I didn't know you were THAT based. I just turned the bell on, godspeed.
this guy doesnt believe in whimsy. game without dying and guns = WOKE and GAY and u cant like it apparently . fuck this guy and enjoy katamari because it is enjoyable if youre not annoying as fuck
You lost me when you pretty much declared every game with a cell-shaded artstyle to be gay. Starting to think this guy just hates colors and cartoony art styles. Nearly everything on the Switch has similar art styles to these games while having some of the best gameplay this generation. Don't need Gears of War roid rage designs to be fun or masculine.
Katamari back when most games weren't gay was really nice, it was like a nice desert after the main course of all the masculine games, you know? And the fact it came out back then means you know it wasn't made with the express purpose of turning men soft and promoting THE MESSAGE. It was made cause some Japanese dude had some crazy creativity and they wanted to make a simple, relaxing, game.
2014: I cannot wait to play the most realistic and badass games that will come in like 10 years from now. 2024: Wow, a new game launched today, all right, i'm gonna start my 42 nd character on skyrim.
@@andypantsgamingcope this,cope that, your gay. Do you have anything better to say besides this shit everytime? Probably not because you have the mentality of a 10 year old.
Bruh volgin is gay and the most badass character in the game is a woman and a woman y'all consider masculine at that literally the person that trained snake is a damn woman from the 60s@@andypantsgaming
This. Also the original mana 3 was not a bad jrpg, dunno about the remake. These are not "manly" games, they were more "boyish" for kids 8-12 years of age, which I see no problem with having.
@@andypantsgamingI think you are insecure if you think a game thats comedic about the weird flamboyance is actually gay. I don't have a problem with calling out gay stuff, but this is ridiculous. Putting all anime into the same class is stupid. Red dead revolver is worse than both. GTA is not that great. I like Halo. Im actually a right wing Christian so don't just call me a commie.
It's really hard to agree with you in this one. Katamari has a huge fanbase and it isn't gay at all, theres is no Dei injected into it. There is definitely room for obscure indie games with cartoonish artstyles that are fun and goofy (as long as DEI is not inserted into it). What would help is if they came out with new badass masculine games as well as these games. Also nothing wrong with not liking the anime artstyle or jrps like Trials of Mana but don't call it gay, they tell amazing stories with masculine and feminine good looking characters. There is room for both inoffensive and non DEI cartoony/anime/obscure games and masculine badass games. Dont attack something that has nothing to do with Dei just cause it isn't masculine, isntead lets ask for more masculine games.
Okay, absolutely EVERYTHING is spot on here... But put some goddamn respec on Trials of Mana. That shit is a remake of a GOATed JRPG SNES game. It doesn't deserve to be lumped in with all of the shit coming out from western studios.
That’s the worst part. They steal the success of great old games to guarantee early sales from original fans, then they deliver something none of the original fans want. They’re too creatively cowardly and profit motivated to do anything original. They just take old, beloved things and make a mess with them
"Trials of Mana gay art style" If the whole debate thing made me lose respect for this dude, then this clown take completely obliterated it. Calling a game with anti woke designs like Angela and Riesz "gay" certainly makes Andy sound kinda gay ironically.
@@Chillin-jg8vgIt probably is. A game made for all ages doesn't mean its bad. I went through a phase of hating all ages games too.... when I was 13 lol.
You are aware that We Love Katamari came out in 2005 right? Trials of Mana came out in 1995 as a Japan only game? Neither game has left wing propaganda in it and Katamari in particular is a respected series, even has an exhibit. I do love stuff like DOOM and Quake, revolutionary games in the FPS genre, but sometimes, I like games with a bit more color and a lighthearted premise that are equally as revolutionary in other ways. Just to fact check you another time, We Love Katamari's remaster came out in June 2023! Trials of Mana's remake came out in April 2020. I'll say what I said to you on twitter earlier: anime/weird Japanese game does not equal gay. I'd be happy to debate you on appeal, fact checking and integrity.
@@andypantsgaming You are gay dude, nothing wrong with that but don't try to tell "games were always gay but you didn't see it because my gaydar is the bestest"
Woah woah, Katamari is a fun weird Japanese game. I agree that they have been dropping garbage, but Katamari has history and its a remaster of the old game.
You lost me with Katamari and Trials. The first one is a comedy masterpiece and the rainbows were there before being hijacked by the alphabet crowd. The original story is that the King got drunk and destroyed the moon and stars, after which he ordered you (his son) to fix it all. He's quite abusive and a funny character to boot. Saying that this is somehow 'gay' and for children or whatnot would be the same as calling Monty Python that. On the flipside, the written description read in the video does sound exceptionally lame.
He thinks he's top masculinity anti gay but ironically he's playing stuff that gay men would love to watch, masculine mean doing masculine stuff, that sounds more gay than a fantasy game that includes actual attractive females acting like the main character's girlfriend
I’m not mad about the new ghost game having a female protagonist cause the way I see it you can make female characters badass if done the right way. Look at Violet and Jinx from Arcane and Sadie from RDR 2
Niiiiiice. Man has no filters, a rare trait today. I see all these games being released for modern audiences and i truly wonder if we're winning this cultural war. In my opinion, the next great battle will be Yotei and the final battle will be GTAVI.
"this couch co-op indie party game isn't Halo 2 so it's gay and I hate it" like yeah no shit dude. Calling any game with a colorful pallete or an artstyle you don't like 'gay' just makes you sound extremely insecure. You can be masculine without being this ignorant and reductive.
They've butchered Trials of Mana! The best way to play this incredible game is to emulate the fan translation of the original 1995 SNES game. The story is dark as hell
@@Sylentmana its not that good. They dumbed it down the the LOLcalization destroyed the dark story. The art style love it or hate its doesnt fit the Mana series AT ALL.
I kinda get saying katamari is gay, it is an odd japanese game from the early 2000s. But it isn’t some satanic lgbt nonsense, it is just an odd fun little game. That would be like saying mario or jak n daxter or astro bot or monopoly is gay. Like they are kids games meant to be enjoyed by all ages, can be a little goofy and weird but they’re not evil and pushing agendas. Most of the “chad” games you mention from back in the day have studios that now put out sequels that push plenty of nonsense propaganda by their rainbow alphabet people staff. Leave my odd little katamari game alone lol
you hate the art style of anime games. that is not an unpopular opinion. but don't confuse that with "gay art style". so you're wrong on that one point
This is why I play Japanese games, namely Falcom and Square Enix games. They make hot chick characters, make good moral stories, and makes things they know their audience wants.
Bad games deserve to fail, this way developers can learn from their failures and start making good games again. If people reward bad games then it sends out the wrong message to these developers and they'll just keep making bad games, and as a result, things would never improve. So having this game fail is just natural selection of filtering out the trash.
Yo bro, watch the friendly fire. Trials of Mana is actually good, it was a remake from a 90's snes game. The art style in Trials actually reminds of Akira Toriyama style, the characters look good but, with muscle definition and not soft and simplistic.
Friendly fire 😆 Ridiculous. Most of us gamers are GROWN MEN in 2024. That game is for minors 😂 How is it that so many so called men miss the message completely. We had many masculine options back in the day. So many you can't name them all in one go 😆 If i called a friend over or even a lady friend to show them this game. They would question me in a big way 😂
@@andypantsgaming What an absolutely delusional response. A kids game because anime graphics? Because it's Japanese? Honestly, I'm with you on most on what you say but what a freaking mentally ill take. Way to go pissing off totally normal people (not deranged DEI invested wokies) in the first few seconds and putting oil into the fire afterwards. Look at your comments section. You basically lost all credibility in just a few seconds and with your insane responses. Good job.
The Japanese landed SLIM (Moon Sniper) on the moon within 100m of its target for about $100M The Acolyte cost over $250M This is where the entertainment industry is right now.
it’s almost like gaming isn’t as niche as it used to be and children are having video games made for them. WILD might wanna check the age ratings for a comparison next time champ
My initial instinct to your reply was to immediately dismiss whatever you're saying, call you a follower of the woke mind virus and a Beta pussy but I won't do that. I will try and answer you earnestly... while not all of the cutesy games Andy's complaining about are gay and you're correct that certain games are made for certain ages you can't deny that TOO MANY games now are like that! There's no games for teens and grown men anymore, games have all been " pussified " and we are left salivating at the 1 or 2 Elden Rings or Black Myths that release a year now.
Dude is speed running the “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” quote for real. I get the anger I really do but when you look at everything through red tinted glasses everything looks like red flags.
Bro is becoming the villian now, he is insulting japanese games and saying they are gay just because of their color I get that he is frustrated with not many masculine games I do to but just saying those games are gay because of the artistic style ? According to his logic children games can't exist
@@Calisthenics_Warriorthe dude was always a villain, the dude calls anything woke that isn't a super model, "gritty", or has a black or gay person in the game Hell he even debated with actman and the first thing he did after that was sent a copyright strike on him His becoming quantumtv dude
Yooo you are UNHINGED, bro. Here I am getting my comments deleted and banned from commenting for 24 hours for saying that word and yet here you are putting it right in the title. 😂🤣💀
"you're a cuck for liking a cooperative cute game designed for family" Like, he literally cherry picked everything out, is like comparing a baby kitten vs a white tiger and saying the white tiger is more lethal because he doesn't have time to be a cute kitten. "Katamari is the most gay game, I know is from 2004 originally but they remastered it instead of remastering uhhh Splinter Cell or Max Payne" he literally needed time to form a thought. "Trials of mana has a gay design and I won't play it cuz of that, compare the art style with this +18 war games vs this +15 anime fantasy game, you see, war games are not gay", someone tell this guy that many people in the US army are gay
2004 was an amazing year for gaming, and I haven't felt the same excitement for anything released in the past few years. Right now, I'm enjoying metroidvania-style games and beat 'em ups like Blasphemous 2, Streets of Rage 4, The Messenger, along with "boomer shooters" like Dusk, Prodeus and Turbo Overkill. These types of games are bringing me more fun than any recent AAA titles. I've also been replaying older games like Far Cry 2 and 3, God Of War ( the old, epic ones, not the new boring, depressing Dad Of War), Metro Last Light, Half Life 2, Red Dead Redemption and others. But 2004, what a year! Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Chronicles of Riddick, Halo 2, San Andreas, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, KOTOR, Fable, Doom 3, NFS Underground 2, The Suffering, WoW, Battlefront, Burnout 3...
Entire video: "Games used to be made for ME and that was GOOD, now games are made for OTHER PEOPLE and that's BAD!" Bro, if you don't like a game then that just means that the game is not made for you. Different people who like different games exist. Why is that a hard concept to understand?
What's with this new wave of angry men on the internet trying to pass their opinions off as fact and gaining a cult from it, this just proves that the issue with masculinity goes far beyond what's on your screen, there's something these men are missing in their lives.
@@jeremybrocknblue5593 oh no anyone who disagrees with you is a PDF file, you people hide behind the concept of victimized children for any take that makes too much sense for your arrogant brains to proces, prove me wrong.
I don't get the Trials of Mana slander. That game is a remake of a classic Jrpg, and Xbox fans have been begging across social media for it to come to Xbox.
Same. The LGBT crowd is allowed to have their own games. Representation isn't the problem. The problem is that they're severely OVERrepresented now. And for whatever reason, any games touched by this gayness suddenly loses quality. If I were LGBT I'd be insulted by the quality loss in the name of pandering to me based on my non-traditional SEXUAL PREFERENCES. That's the weird thing here. If you want to make a game for you that has sexual themes, go for it. But stop bullying non-sexual games into injecting your sexual preferences into it.
Of course. The men of today like me who still play games are the kids of 80s/90's gaming. These people know what they're doing. Out with the old while they try their best to create a new. But they can't pull it off. Because it's FUN that keeps any normal mind interested. The young mind still needs that element. And the numbers for these games speaks that out loud for all to hear. You're right. I just won't work in the long run..
@@andypantsgaming Hey I'm just making an observation. Pretty weird you call out gay stuff but don't like how men aren't super manly looking anymore. Your rant reminds me of the Incredibles when they said, "if everyone is super, no one is." In this case, if everything is gay then nothing is. Also, did you graduate from Trolling 101? Calling someone gay because you don't agree with them is such a basic bitch move lol
Woah!!! Don't put that Mana game in this DEI trash list. That is insulting to the anime style, that would like saying JoJo is part of the gay agenda for showing overtly muscle men doing freak shit.
you have a point, i don't know what the game is about but if that hot witch is a party member at my side while gloriously ripping apart goblins or the main villain then i would not mind playing it (i have no idea what the game is about and i am a straight man who loves shooters)
I think whats even worse is the complete loss of complexity and no thought required by the gamer. Its all just passive dopamine hits, which im absolutely convinced is agenda driven. Dont need higher thinking with games, its almost an automated act -- started with quicktime events and then they ran with it..
I find that I get so bored gaming now, because there is no struggle. But then when I play a game that has a struggle it feels a bit foreign and I I have to revert my mind into thinking, "No, this is how games are meant to be." The instant dopamine hit style games really took away the fun of solving complex problems and working hard to get better.

Also: I'm not saying Mana is gay, just that it has a gay artstyle. Katamari is gay for sure. But it's a kids game.

Easy. There was a shift from contant to graphics. Fundamentally changing what is in the games. Remeber god of war? That game was killing mobs in their 1000s. Ton of honkahonkers, And a angry greek dude. Than God of war morfed into Dad of Boi, a walking sim with the odd mob to kill. Also no honkahonkers in site. Games back in the day, was like here is how it works, im only going to tell you this once. This is how you move, off you go. No quest arowes, no hand holding. You needed to take notes sometimes. The people making the games of old, tryed to make an intressting world, world building was a thing, well writen dialog and story. some games even had companons, guess what, they where well writen. Games of old also tryed to make the best looking characters that the graphics alowed them to. Now it is for the moden audienace, handholding, dumbing down of everything. world building, is for the most part no there, dialog, story, companons, does not matter and is poorly writen. Also no attractive female characters. So good looking graphics means jack squat unless the rest of the content in the game is any good. Sometimes the moden game devs fail at both. Bad graphics and full of bugs, piss poor dialog, story, world building.
it was never about Graphics, Story > Graphics, Graphics just help the immersion

When I was a kid I dreamed of what games would look like in 2024. As an adult I dream of the day we can have games like we did in 2004.
facts
I have this little philosophy that, as I always wish I could go back to those days, I wouldn't really want to go back to them. What I think I really wish for is that the 90's/2000's could have come with us instead. I wish that it was like the 90's/2000's right now but with modern technology and advancements. I don't want to go back in time, I just wish we still lived in the same world but better. I can't recognize the world I live in anymore, and I'm sick of being labeled as a "threat" to society every single day when I barely leave my house and live a perfectly moral life. My worst crimes are commenting my thoughts online with careful wording so as not to be deleted by the overlords, and not buying current video games nor tickets to modern movies...
If this was the 2000's still then I could completely be myself and nobody would bat an eye. In fact, I think it would benefit everyone, it felt like back then people were starting to progress into letting people live the lives they wished. It could have led to such a better society...but the way that 'acceptance' was forced into the world reverted everyone, and now we are so much further from living with each other in peace than we were 20 years ago. Companies giving into sensitive little snowflakes on Twitter really was the worst thing that has ever happened to our culture.
I wanted to be a youtuber when I grow up and now look at what "youtubers" are being labeled as nowadays... this youtuber here tho is the real one but is getting hate just for wanting games to go back to being PEAK. How m3ntally ill/psych0pathic (I don't want youtube to silence me for using "triggering" words) do you have to be to send d3ath threats to a random person over the internet for having different opinion than you. Most guys in person would agree with the state of gaming or just not care, but the internet is full of unhinged d3g3ns that get triggered over the slightest thing. They're all talk.
@@andypantsgaming i will be indie game dev and create something suitable.
@@le_fancy_squid Well said.
but personaly, I'd rather go back to 2004...
It was probably one of the best years of my life! and the entire 2000's was a great decade actually....
thing is, even if you take away all that "forced acceptance" and toxicity,
all that "care not to offend anyone, but everything offends everyone so your care is actually in vain"
even if you take that away from today's society, there are still other problems in the culture, and especially in the entertainment industry...
Despite technological superiority, games are now increasingly generic and seen by companies as cash farms, instead of what it was in the 2000s,
which despite having an interest in profits, was still niche and aimed at the nerd audience of the 90s, it still had soul, most devs worked in the area because they did what they liked, which created incredible products that even with the limited technology of the time managed to go very far,
we had magnificent games that didn't age a single day, masterpieces like GT4 on the PS2 for example...
and there were games with splitscreen, god bring back splitscreen... we had a culture involved with real humans and not this virtual ilusion that we got today.
I lost count of how many summer vacation nights I spent playing my Nintendo 64 with my brother all night long...
These memories can no longer be replicated because things will never be the same again...
the world stopped being incredible and gave way to something generic and less happy and real.
The technology that was supposed to bring us closer has made everyone more distant
one of the worst things that happened to us was the creation of social networks for example, anyway,
this whole problem goes much further,
after 2012 we didn't know what we were doing and everything evolved into a worse version of our world.
Most of those who lived through that time think about going back there, every day.

The comment about China is so true.

I wouldn't put Katamari Damacy or Trials Of Mana on the topic of gay or DEI dude. I do think there are some activists going on right now that are trying to bring the game industry down, but Katamari Damacy is a game that came out in 2004 and its suppose to be fruitful and has wacky Japanese sense of humor. I highly doubt its gay. And Trials Of Mana is a SNES game that only came out in Japan and got a remake finally giving Americans a chance to play when they had to use a fan translation and it always had this kind of art style, even Secret Of Mana had that anime art style. Guess some people can't handle colorful, fairy tale styled games.
This guy is a PHONY. He says he loves to play Watch Dogs 2, goes thru the game at least once every summer. A game set in San Fran made for the modern audience with gay naked men roaming the streets.

When I first rented Vice City in 2002, I remember getting the katana from the coffee shop and giggling when I decapitated the pedestrians. I watched my brother beat three games to completion, MGS2, FFX, and Matrix. I remember him raging at Tidus's dad at the end of the game. I miss those days.

What I find hilarious about this video is that Katamari was released on the PS2 in 2004, your argument of it being "gay" now is redundant when it's always been like that.
Secondly. Metal Gear has a massive number of gay undertones to it. Raiden originally meant to be androgynous, you literally banging Kaz in Peace Walker, Snake's and Otacons' relationship, I could go on and on, but I think you get it.
It's because andypants is a grifter lol. He seems to support the right-wing cause but his arguments and points fall completely flat that he puts a bad representation for it. He complains games nowadays are gay compared to back then yet he called trials of mana & katamari 'gay games' despite those games being over 20 years old.
His taste in video games blinds his arguments of the overall gaming landscape being worse and compares how games back then were all M rated and mature despite kid friendly games always existing too since the beginning of the industry. But i guess they're gay according to him 😂
Brother really claimed "We love Katamari" and "Secrets of Mana" as DEI games 💀
I know there is a lot of DEI agenda in modern game industry, but really? If anime/cartoonish artstyle is gay now, then games like Mario Odyssey is gay too? Or Zelda Tears of the Kingdome? Cuphead? Fall guys? Among Us? At this point even chess can became DEI game, because black can win.

There’s a huge difference between things like Suicide Squad, Concord, Saints Row Reboot, Dustborn, etc and things like Katamari Damacy, or Wind Waker, etc. Like, no dude, not EVERY single game needs to be overtly gears of war masculine. Are you really gonna look at Astro Bot and be like “oh my god, this looks fuckin gay dude”. It’s so telling that dude specifically chose Katamari to whine about, when it’s from the same year as the other games you’re using as masculine examples. “Pikmin? You have to lead around fuckin *flowers*? Jesus that’s gay” like dude you have to know it’s more nuanced than that
It's thinking the pretense of color indicates how gay it is. Sure the gays flaunt color like children, but fact is it's the true artists that knows how to use color. Never mistake a colorful masterpiece for being vapid, or you might just call yourself out for being superficial.
What would your 12 years old self say about a game where "you lead happy colorful flowers around"? Was there any adjective they'd be highly likely to use?
MAD CUCK
I think games like Astro Bot are good. There definitely is rated E games that appeal to kids too that don't need to be masculine.
He says it's dumb that people bring up the fact he's comparing triple A games to random game pass indie games but it's a valid criticism.
Not every game needs to cater to the masculine male audience. As long as there's no woke stuff in the indie games I don't see a problem with them. It's something I'd play with my kids.
@@Dovonan he acts as though back in ‘04, there weren’t games that he’d say are gay (even though he specifically chooses Katamari to complain about). Back then there were tons and tons of girly lame shit coming out, but the difference is that back then, games were allowed to be made with very specific audiences in mind. So we were allowed to get games like Force Unleashed, where its sole purpose was to just be fuckin cool. Nowadays, games need to be made for everyone, so you get a lame ugly chick to play as with a cutesy marketable plush animal side kick, and the story cannot in any way offend or upset, or do anything interesting, yada yada yada.
Looking at a game like Katamari, or some random cute indie puzzle game that no one’s heard of, or any game with a cartoonish style that’s cel shaded and spouting “gay!!” like it’s the same thing as Suicide Squad and Saints Row, games that SHOULD be playing towards masculine audiences but are having politics and lgbt artificially injected into them, is just stupid
Giving major “didnt play wind waker because of its artstyle” vibes
That's like most of his arguments about games that are "gay"
it's more so that you people think all games back then were masculine yet wind waker is an old game from 2002? Katamari (one of the games shown in the video) is a game from 2004? So were games gay & propaganda 20 years ago too? You clowns have no logic in your argument so if anything, you must hush little zoomer.

"Trials of Mana" is a remake of the 1995 classic SNES game "Seiken Densetsu 3." The original wasn't released in the West like many story-rich RPGs back in the day. I am a 45-year-old man and remember playing the original translated ROM on my PC. Although I believe in most things you say about games becoming more woke, the original "Trials of Mana" is probably older than you and definitely wasn't a woke SNES game. Also, having a colorful art style doesn't make something "woke" or "gay." The gay/trans community doesn't own colors. A game doesn't need to be dark, bleak, blood, and gore to be a good game.

Katamari back when most games weren't gay was really nice, it was like a nice desert after the main course of all the masculine games, you know? And the fact it came out back then means you know it wasn't made with the express purpose of turning men soft and promoting THE MESSAGE. It was made cause some Japanese dude had some crazy creativity and they wanted to make a simple, relaxing, game.

It's really hard to agree with you in this one. Katamari has a huge fanbase and it isn't gay at all, theres is no Dei injected into it. There is definitely room for obscure indie games with cartoonish artstyles that are fun and goofy (as long as DEI is not inserted into it). What would help is if they came out with new badass masculine games as well as these games. Also nothing wrong with not liking the anime artstyle or jrps like Trials of Mana but don't call it gay, they tell amazing stories with masculine and feminine good looking characters. There is room for both inoffensive and non DEI cartoony/anime/obscure games and masculine badass games. Dont attack something that has nothing to do with Dei just cause it isn't masculine, isntead lets ask for more masculine games.
Trials of Mana is gay. One of the male characters literally wears pink lace.
Okay, absolutely EVERYTHING is spot on here... But put some goddamn respec on Trials of Mana. That shit is a remake of a GOATed JRPG SNES game. It doesn't deserve to be lumped in with all of the shit coming out from western studios.

"Trials of Mana gay art style"
If the whole debate thing made me lose respect for this dude, then this clown take completely obliterated it. Calling a game with anti woke designs like Angela and Riesz "gay" certainly makes Andy sound kinda gay ironically.
@@fiaschampion3379 He also called it a kids game
I can’t see how the designs are “gay”, but how are they “anti-woke”?
Your thought process is so busted 🤦🏽 cartoons are gay gay boi
@@Chillin-jg8vgIt probably is. A game made for all ages doesn't mean its bad. I went through a phase of hating all ages games too.... when I was 13 lol.
@@fiaschampion3379 I thought it was Teen rated
Don't let Kaz and Big Boss see this one
You are aware that We Love Katamari came out in 2005 right? Trials of Mana came out in 1995 as a Japan only game? Neither game has left wing propaganda in it and Katamari in particular is a respected series, even has an exhibit. I do love stuff like DOOM and Quake, revolutionary games in the FPS genre, but sometimes, I like games with a bit more color and a lighthearted premise that are equally as revolutionary in other ways. Just to fact check you another time, We Love Katamari's remaster came out in June 2023! Trials of Mana's remake came out in April 2020. I'll say what I said to you on twitter earlier: anime/weird Japanese game does not equal gay. I'd be happy to debate you on appeal, fact checking and integrity.
Dude's a bit of a moron sometimes, doesn't remember that that main demographic for videogames used to be young boys aged like 8-12.
this guy only likes fps. he probably thinks chess is gay lol the queen can move wherever it wants bro who wants to play that
Katamari is gay dude. Totally fine if you like it tho
@@andypantsgaming You are gay dude, nothing wrong with that but don't try to tell "games were always gay but you didn't see it because my gaydar is the bestest"
But it has COLORS! You haven't learned yet? Colorful games are automatically GHEY!!!
Woah woah, Katamari is a fun weird Japanese game. I agree that they have been dropping garbage, but Katamari has history and its a remaster of the old game.
You lost me with Katamari and Trials. The first one is a comedy masterpiece and the rainbows were there before being hijacked by the alphabet crowd. The original story is that the King got drunk and destroyed the moon and stars, after which he ordered you (his son) to fix it all. He's quite abusive and a funny character to boot. Saying that this is somehow 'gay' and for children or whatnot would be the same as calling Monty Python that. On the flipside, the written description read in the video does sound exceptionally lame.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that.
He thinks he's top masculinity anti gay but ironically he's playing stuff that gay men would love to watch, masculine mean doing masculine stuff, that sounds more gay than a fantasy game that includes actual attractive females acting like the main character's girlfriend
I’m not mad about the new ghost game having a female protagonist cause the way I see it you can make female characters badass if done the right way. Look at Violet and Jinx from Arcane and Sadie from RDR 2
What’s wrong with these games? you should look up for your favourite genre, this specific genre is for kids…
Niiiiiice. Man has no filters, a rare trait today.
I see all these games being released for modern audiences and i truly wonder if we're winning this cultural war. In my opinion, the next great battle will be Yotei and the final battle will be GTAVI.
Only children speak this way.
Trails of mana is lit, but yeah gaming has largely changed in a negative way.
I've spend way too much time in that game...all the way to platinum trophy.
"this couch co-op indie party game isn't Halo 2 so it's gay and I hate it" like yeah no shit dude. Calling any game with a colorful pallete or an artstyle you don't like 'gay' just makes you sound extremely insecure. You can be masculine without being this ignorant and reductive.
Andypants would be the type of dude to call mario party 'gay & propaganda' or probably any mario game
@@infernoROBOFr tho, this guy sees anything with multiple colours in a single frame as gay.
Dude you're missing the point
Nope. These are like the only games that come out now.
@@Jack_the_Rizzler69Name a few examples?
Love the videos, keep it up!!
10:33 Absolutely right ! Those people would rather call you a grifter than see that what you are saying is ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
They've butchered Trials of Mana! The best way to play this incredible game is to emulate the fan translation of the original 1995 SNES game. The story is dark as hell
Wow, I didn't know.
@@Sylentmana its not that good. They dumbed it down the the LOLcalization destroyed the dark story. The art style love it or hate its doesnt fit the Mana series AT ALL.
Biggest problem is the lack of local multiplayer...clear downgrade from the original.
@@tadaokou4919 major down grade too.
You can get Collection of Mana, it has Trials translated in english.
katamari is literally a ps2 game 😭😭😭😭
YESSS NEW UPLOAD thanks bro keep up good work
This is South Park level of satire, props to you
No it’s not
Your first minute and 30 seconds made me a LIFETIME sub to you
I kinda get saying katamari is gay, it is an odd japanese game from the early 2000s. But it isn’t some satanic lgbt nonsense, it is just an odd fun little game. That would be like saying mario or jak n daxter or astro bot or monopoly is gay. Like they are kids games meant to be enjoyed by all ages, can be a little goofy and weird but they’re not evil and pushing agendas. Most of the “chad” games you mention from back in the day have studios that now put out sequels that push plenty of nonsense propaganda by their rainbow alphabet people staff. Leave my odd little katamari game alone lol
you hate the art style of anime games. that is not an unpopular opinion. but don't confuse that with "gay art style". so you're wrong on that one point
Anime isn't bad, but WHY is it executed so poorly when made?
anime is hella ghaiii tho
@@BoboSlavv that's like saying Dreamworks is geh
@@HEreal-d4w oh look a weeb. sorry i dont make da rulez but u geiiiiiiiiiii
@@BoboSlavv So would you say Dragon Ball is gay?
This is why I play Japanese games, namely Falcom and Square Enix games. They make hot chick characters, make good moral stories, and makes things they know their audience wants.
Square Enix makes a lot of hot dudes too so I think everyone is happy.
@@leshie687 There ya go. Everybody wins with Square Enix 😂
Square enix fell off 😂
Now play Metal Gear Solid
The guy just shat on Katamari and Trials of Mana. These are japanese games.
Right around 9:09 when you said "This is a game people talk about constantly..." I got an ad for some cutesy Japanese kitten game
Bad games deserve to fail, this way developers can learn from their failures and start making good games again. If people reward bad games then it sends out the wrong message to these developers and they'll just keep making bad games, and as a result, things would never improve. So having this game fail is just natural selection of filtering out the trash.
10/10 rage bait
Just swallow the pill bro
ooh they gon be mad over this comment 😭
🤡
This doesn't enrage me at all, I stopped caring about videogames in 2013 more or less, but these videos about modern gaming actually make me laugh.
probably true, but do the opinions of the people who are raging matter?
Yo bro, watch the friendly fire. Trials of Mana is actually good, it was a remake from a 90's snes game. The art style in Trials actually reminds of Akira Toriyama style, the characters look good but, with muscle definition and not soft and simplistic.
It's a kids game. I get it
Friendly fire 😆 Ridiculous. Most of us gamers are GROWN MEN in 2024. That game is for minors 😂 How is it that so many so called men miss the message completely. We had many masculine options back in the day. So many you can't name them all in one go 😆 If i called a friend over or even a lady friend to show them this game. They would question me in a big way 😂
@@andypantsgaming What an absolutely delusional response. A kids game because anime graphics? Because it's Japanese?
Honestly, I'm with you on most on what you say but what a freaking mentally ill take.
Way to go pissing off totally normal people (not deranged DEI invested wokies) in the first few seconds and putting oil into the fire afterwards.
Look at your comments section. You basically lost all credibility in just a few seconds and with your insane responses. Good job.
@@andypantsgaming Yeah, you should play it. Fits your definition.
Yoooo just found your channel from a meme on a shady website. Love it when this happens.
The Japanese landed SLIM (Moon Sniper) on the moon within 100m of its target for about $100M
The Acolyte cost over $250M
This is where the entertainment industry is right now.
it’s almost like gaming isn’t as niche as it used to be and children are having video games made for them. WILD might wanna check the age ratings for a comparison next time champ
My initial instinct to your reply was to immediately dismiss whatever you're saying, call you a follower of the woke mind virus and a Beta pussy but I won't do that. I will try and answer you earnestly... while not all of the cutesy games Andy's complaining about are gay and you're correct that certain games are made for certain ages you can't deny that TOO MANY games now are like that! There's no games for teens and grown men anymore, games have all been " pussified " and we are left salivating at the 1 or 2 Elden Rings or Black Myths that release a year now.
The pathetic way this guy is trying to hate on Trails of Mana in the comments is hilarious 😂
Dude, just found your channel. LOVE IT , keep up the good work
Dude is speed running the “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” quote for real. I get the anger I really do but when you look at everything through red tinted glasses everything looks like red flags.
Bro is becoming the villian now, he is insulting japanese games and saying they are gay just because of their color I get that he is frustrated with not many masculine games I do to but just saying those games are gay because of the artistic style ? According to his logic children games can't exist
@@Calisthenics_Warriorthe dude was always a villain, the dude calls anything woke that isn't a super model, "gritty", or has a black or gay person in the game
Hell he even debated with actman and the first thing he did after that was sent a copyright strike on him
His becoming quantumtv dude
The glass was tinted by DEI propaganda though, and that's whom any villainy is aimed at. All friendly fire is a matter of chance and unintentional.
@@hectorlane6407 ..what??
Yooo you are UNHINGED, bro. Here I am getting my comments deleted and banned from commenting for 24 hours for saying that word and yet here you are putting it right in the title. 😂🤣💀
LMFAO!! For real this censoring BS is very irritating
@@NorCalMtnBiker86I don't think saying that word willy nilly is alright or even at all in most situations
Aren’t the 2024 games completely different genres and the 2004 games just shooting games?
And platformers, and open world such as GTA, and hack and slash such as god of war, tf you on about lmfao
@@Raketoer would you compare a platformer with a tactical strategy game?
bro gotta learn to accept criticism
I think the other guy deleted his comment
"you're a cuck for liking a cooperative cute game designed for family"
Like, he literally cherry picked everything out, is like comparing a baby kitten vs a white tiger and saying the white tiger is more lethal because he doesn't have time to be a cute kitten.
"Katamari is the most gay game, I know is from 2004 originally but they remastered it instead of remastering uhhh Splinter Cell or Max Payne" he literally needed time to form a thought.
"Trials of mana has a gay design and I won't play it cuz of that, compare the art style with this +18 war games vs this +15 anime fantasy game, you see, war games are not gay", someone tell this guy that many people in the US army are gay
2004 was an amazing year for gaming, and I haven't felt the same excitement for anything released in the past few years. Right now, I'm enjoying metroidvania-style games and beat 'em ups like Blasphemous 2, Streets of Rage 4, The Messenger, along with "boomer shooters" like Dusk, Prodeus and Turbo Overkill. These types of games are bringing me more fun than any recent AAA titles. I've also been replaying older games like Far Cry 2 and 3, God Of War ( the old, epic ones, not the new boring, depressing Dad Of War), Metro Last Light, Half Life 2, Red Dead Redemption and others.
But 2004, what a year! Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Chronicles of Riddick, Halo 2, San Andreas, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, KOTOR, Fable, Doom 3, NFS Underground 2, The Suffering, WoW, Battlefront, Burnout 3...
bait used to be believable 🤨
Entire video: "Games used to be made for ME and that was GOOD, now games are made for OTHER PEOPLE and that's BAD!"
Bro, if you don't like a game then that just means that the game is not made for you. Different people who like different games exist. Why is that a hard concept to understand?
Yes, nowadays all games are made for weak beta gay lefties
Stay away from kids, moe
Now games are made for "modern audiences" and then flop.
What's with this new wave of angry men on the internet trying to pass their opinions off as fact and gaining a cult from it, this just proves that the issue with masculinity goes far beyond what's on your screen, there's something these men are missing in their lives.
@@jeremybrocknblue5593 oh no anyone who disagrees with you is a PDF file, you people hide behind the concept of victimized children for any take that makes too much sense for your arrogant brains to proces, prove me wrong.
I don't get the Trials of Mana slander. That game is a remake of a classic Jrpg, and Xbox fans have been begging across social media for it to come to Xbox.
^ This
This has to be some kind of social experiment
Take so bad it has to be satire.
Apparently it isn't, he's fucking serious
Take. So good it made Twitter normies seethe
I don't mind a game being cute or gay.
The real problem is that almost everything is so damn ugly now.
Games had so much more style in the past.
Same. The LGBT crowd is allowed to have their own games. Representation isn't the problem.
The problem is that they're severely OVERrepresented now. And for whatever reason, any games touched by this gayness suddenly loses quality.
If I were LGBT I'd be insulted by the quality loss in the name of pandering to me based on my non-traditional SEXUAL PREFERENCES.
That's the weird thing here. If you want to make a game for you that has sexual themes, go for it. But stop bullying non-sexual games into injecting your sexual preferences into it.
I feel like companies are trying to jump ship with all these kiddie games and make a new generation of gay kids while leaving OG gamers behind
Of course. The men of today like me who still play games are the kids of 80s/90's gaming. These people know what they're doing. Out with the old while they try their best to create a new. But they can't pull it off. Because it's FUN that keeps any normal mind interested. The young mind still needs that element. And the numbers for these games speaks that out loud for all to hear. You're right. I just won't work in the long run..
@@MrAden1307what the fuck are you 2 on about
You’re spitting facts. Too bad the title is also accurate for an ex-Xbox fanboy.
Implying metal gear wasn't gay to begin with
Dude is mad that games are too gay but wants more manly men to look at in games?
Ok
you're gay, we get it
@@andypantsgaming
Hey I'm just making an observation. Pretty weird you call out gay stuff but don't like how men aren't super manly looking anymore.
Your rant reminds me of the Incredibles when they said, "if everyone is super, no one is." In this case, if everything is gay then nothing is.
Also, did you graduate from Trolling 101? Calling someone gay because you don't agree with them is such a basic bitch move lol
His favorite pass time is watching Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Arnold flex while talking about dude's physiques
@@slippynipz
Honestly it's weird how obsessed with men's bodies and physical abilities these "I hate gay shit" bros are
Woah!!! Don't put that Mana game in this DEI trash list. That is insulting to the anime style, that would like saying JoJo is part of the gay agenda for showing overtly muscle men doing freak shit.
you have a point, i don't know what the game is about but if that hot witch is a party member at my side while gloriously ripping apart goblins or the main villain then i would not mind playing it (i have no idea what the game is about and i am a straight man who loves shooters)
i swear actually had say gex
Atleast you didn't throw Kingdom Hearts and Eevee in here
Katamari is actually one of the most chaotic and destructive games I have ever played.
I think whats even worse is the complete loss of complexity and no thought required by the gamer.
Its all just passive dopamine hits, which im absolutely convinced is agenda driven.
Dont need higher thinking with games, its almost an automated act -- started with quicktime events and then they ran with it..
I find that I get so bored gaming now, because there is no struggle. But then when I play a game that has a struggle it feels a bit foreign and I I have to revert my mind into thinking, "No, this is how games are meant to be." The instant dopamine hit style games really took away the fun of solving complex problems and working hard to get better.
