People got worked up because SonicFox is a twat whos constantly trying to be at the center of attention. His little stage performance that was embarrassing. No one cares about how gay or black you are or how you upset THE CONSERVATIVES when they don't care about you.

[@kyero8724]

The MK11 Jax Ending is about making the US not exist and becoming a black country like Wakanda. So yes, it is cringe and thats why people hated it. Where are you getting this "These people just are pro-slavery" I have black friends that hate that fucking ending.

I remember when "Bully" came out and Jack Thompson tried to get it banned. The Judge decided to take the game home and play it to see if it was indeed unsuitable for people. He returned the following court session with a big grin on his face and said it's perfectly fine. Jack yelled at the judge and was almost imprisoned.

Apple lost and can no longer charge their 30% to companies with their own payment methods, AND Epic had to pay a very large sum of money for circumventing the policy they agreed to.

Secondly, it wasn't a "handful of people" it was literally ONE guy who made a post on the forums complaining about his daughter idolizing Tracer and that this pose came off too sexualizing for her: “What about this pose has anything to do with the character you’re building in tracer? It’s not fun, its not silly, it has nothing to do with being a fast elite killer. It just reduces tracer to another bland female sex symbol.” “We aren’t looking at a Widowmaker pose here, this isn’t a character who is in part defined by flaunting her sexuality. This pose says to the player base, oh we’ve got all these cool diverse characters, but at any moment we are willing to reduce them to sex symbols to help boost our investment game.” “I have a young daughter that everyday when I wake up wants to watch the recall trailer again. She knows who tracer is, and as she grows up, she can grow up alongside these characters. What I’m asking is that as you continue to add to the overwatch cast and investment elements, you double down on your commitment to create strong female characters. You’ve been doing a good job so far, but shipping with a tracer pose like this undermines so much of the good you’ve already done.”

The Dinklebot controversy was so stupid. Why be upset? Also, why hire a big name voice actor and then hide his voice? Could have saved a lot of money there. Both sides were pretty foolish.

[@rafaelmarquez8886]

For my favorite super hero is Spider-Man and the game possibly being my favorite, I’m was absolutely shocked it became #1 on this list over a F**KING PUDDLE 😂

[@BriannaDrobot]

people have talked about it so much that the developers had put puddles as stickers in photo mode.

[@rivalebeau9868]

Come oooon! I'm adopted and i never thought that Portal 2 jokes were offensive. They use dark humor, that's all.

[@brucenatelee]

I thought the issue with Jax's ending in MK11 was that they made the character's race part of his story like every other black character in every other property ever, which I get. Even I wish to see things about black people not just be about black struggles as though it is all we have as stories. That said, the ending was fine logically. I think if most black people had that power, they would do the same. I think there was also something about the ending having no non-black characters visibly shown, but still a minor detail to me.

[@brucenatelee]

I think the Hao Infinite fruit thing was about the technology appearing as less advanced than older games. Same thing with CP2077 with how the AI just crouches when shots are heard, yet GTA5, a game 7 years older on previous gen consoles, have characters react much more diversely.

[@brucenatelee]

Buttgate could be tied to both Overwatch's Tracer and Street Fighter 5's R. Mika. Having to change them was dumb, but while I admit to getting annoyed with Mika's change, they weren't a big deal. I found Mika's change to be weird, like a character flipping you off, but the hand is offscreen. Cammy's change made some sense, as it was just a needless camera shot.

Mass Effect hasn't had full nudity until Andromeda. To me, if you can't see it, it's not full nudity. Implication don't count. This is when I first stopped giving a shit about Fox News. They even said you can control the sex, which is false, and you have to play a certain way to get there. Also, isn't the game M rated?

[@SlyFan-mp8dc]

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment on the Jax topic. People liked seeing him as more than "just the black guy", which unfortunately his ending made him out to be. Had the ending been more about him talking about his duty to serve and protect his fellow men (connecting to his military backstory) with a flash of the slave trade, it would have better connected to his character while addressing his desire to right the injustices of the past. It also would have gotten rid of that awful line of him not waiting for people to get woke.

[@nerocrow4040]

As a black man myself I would totally stop slavery like he did and make and ideal word like he did. But the main problem of the ending is the context around it. He recently just lost his wife and is constantly fear of his daughter suffering like he did and he nearly killed his daughter and is trying make amends. So him getting this god like power and thinking let's just stop slavery was a weird thing.

Its just that a well known company that has been on all platforms for years, and then became an exclusive because Microsoft bought them with MONEY is a big slap to Playstation, Nintendo, and other platforms.

[@vanzter]

Ok, the first one with sonic fox would actually be cool as hell to see yourself in a game. Also for Stubbs the zombie, if your child is that impressionable an willing to reenact whatever they watch an play maybe they shouldn't be playing or watching certain things.

People desperate for attention will look, look and look until they find a grain of sand to complain about, the only thing sadder is the companies actually listen to them, its like their looking to make every single person happy except the actual fans why buy 99% percent of the games. So many games ruined, so many opportunities missed when its easier just to tell them to shut up.

[@Warhawk9012]

Stubbs the Zombie, an M-rated game, is *"offensive and dangerous to children?"* Gee, I thought all media was scrutinized by this little thing called a *rating system* and for video games, we have the ESRB (I don't fault parents for not knowing about it though, it's *only* been around since 1994.) All joking aside, I don't know what it is about some parents and their complete inability to see a big bold letter against a white background, but I'm going to assume the people (presumably "concerned parents" & Jack Thompson wannabes) complaining about the "offensiveness" of Stubbs the Zombie (or any M-rated game for that matter) are the type of parents who buy games for their kids and don't even bother reading the rating beforehand. If you wouldn't let your kids watch R-rated movies, why should M-rated games be any different? *Mature-rated games* are rated *"Mature"* for a reason.

[@dalordjuvinilej7770]

It's pointless to get upset about things video game related cuz its art its subjective. The glove one is legit, its misrepresentation like the NPC cars in MC3 having mods you cannot get. Also games should be availabe for all consoles no exclusives.
