Random Video Game Crap

Wow.

This comic means something very much darker to me, because I know Giga is a Japanese porn studio that specializes in ryona porn.
....I don't know what ryona is (and I'm not googling that at work, tyvm), but I pretty much read it as pedophile rape, and I don't see how you can get much darker :confused:

Ryona is, basically, torture. There are Japanese porn studios that specialize in depictions of women getting beaten and choked and whipped and shocked and shot and stabbed and crushed and killed. And raped, yes. Usually simulated, but still.

So, yeah, still darker than pedophile rape.
 
I'm not sure if this is supposed to have another meaning (it did read as pedophile rape to me),but if that's the case, maybe a spoiler tag or something, please?

No no, I'm pretty sure the artist just meant pedophile rape. (Heh, "just" pedophile rape) It's just that, coincidentally, the artist is known as Giga, and the last panel talks about blood, and, well...
 
Oh, Japan. You have a word for "jerking off to women being abused". Wow. That's like an MRA lifetime achievement award right there.

I'm pretty sure they have one for the reverse as well. Japan is pretty equal when it comes to it's sexual depravities, at least as far as their existence goes... it's just that the market for male focused stuff is and always has been much more profitable.
 
The ryona implications are purely due to the coincidence of the artist's name being Giga. If you didn't know about Giga the porn studio, then there wouldn't be a ryona vibe for you.

Put another way... I saw the ryona angle because I'm a bigger perv than all of you.

And here I was worried that I knew what ryona was, but thankfully, I can always count on you, bhamv3, to lower the bar even further and make me look comparatively less sick :D
 
Ugh. Even though I don't wholly agree with her arguments, I've enjoyed Anita Sarkeesian's videos. Some of her arguments are incredibly flawed, but she has raised some good points.

But it's shit like this that I unfollowed her on Twitter. It's like she jumps on whatever most popular, trending bandwagon and finds a way to put it down.

Yeah, there's violence in video games and maybe violent video games dominate the marketplace (like superheroes dominate the comics industry), but that doesn't mean you can't have them at all.

Plus, it's called fucking DOOM. What do expect? Stopping puppies by rubbing their bellies with unicorn stuffies?

Well, their cash flow comes from being the Glenn Beck of video games, so they've got to say outrageous things to get people talking about them (preferably talking mean about them) so they can continue their roles as "champions of the persecuted" and keep those patreon dollars flowing.

I used to think that opinion was bullshit, but I've got to admit, lately it's looking more and more true. I mean, DOOM is, and always has been, a game wherein a space marine finds himself blasting his way through the literal hordes of Hell, on one of the moons of Mars. It's not deep, it's not clever, it's about "Whoa shit watch out for that demon knight's rockets now I'mma light him up with this plasma gun!" inane fun. Criticizing DOOM for being violent is like criticizing Wolfenstein for all the Nazi symbols.

So while I agree with some of her ideas and that a lot of these discussions need to be had, her specific examples are often really bad choices and headline-baiting like this doesn't really help matters. It immediately puts some people who would otherwise be open to some of her ideas on the defensive.
 
If the Fallout 4 presentation had shown a female NPC, such as a raider, getting shot, I think Anita Sarkeesian's head would've exploded with the force of a nuclear bomb.

I genuinely wonder about that, though I wonder how you would go about assigning a ranking to all the forumites.

Would've been funnier if you'd said Iaculus.
 
Yeah! But... when first place is confirmed pedophilia (or perhaps just ephebophilia), is that really something we should be happy about?
There's no legend, so how would we know?
Also at first I read that second one as "ephlebophilia" and assumed it meant browsing for pictures of veins, which would strike me as unusual.

Do you not know the Legend of Icarus. The fellow who flew too close to pedophilia and burned at the stake? Although he almost escaped punishment when the angry horde brandished their torches and pitchforks at his lookalike, Iaculus, who was finally heard, shouting "I am not the monster you are looking for!"

Yes! Wait, perhaps...no, not really.

If I recall correctly, it was almost as funny as it was sad. He kept trying to defend it by claiming that she was "really mature for her age, cause she'd been through a lot." Skeevy.[DOUBLEPOST=1434399255,1434398960][/DOUBLEPOST]

Honestly I'm probably not that far behind GB / Ravenpoe or Bhamv3 for that matter.

You must watch ||---THIS MUCH---|| ryona porn to qualify for top tier sicko pervert status.
 
Who said I wanted a math degree? I'll leave that to the mathematicians.
Math might be fun, but I wouldn't make a career of it.
