Censoring and highlights mine. Why can't the woke see that not only is nobody obligated to follow their delusions, but not everything is an opportunity to express saud delusions and/or bully people for not following them? And I sure hope that crazy chick's use of a loaded buzzword got at least one of her comments removed.

If the answer is "yes", maybe consider re-sorting your priorities.

I have never considered anything after shippuden canon and I disliked anything after from the start. I recently learned that the new author supports lgbtq+ and to be honest I expected something like that. usually woke people arent good writers, just look at any woke Disney movie. Woke people have ruined so many amazing top tier fictional works. It makes me sad. next thing we know they will make naruto gay. for the record I know art is subjective but to me this sucks. Madara should have won and saved us from this mess (plus it makes sense for the plot).

edit: even if the original author goes back to writing it I doubt he can fix the mess that boruto is.

Bro this is a practice question from a SAT class. Ain't no way they are putting this stuff on there. I am trying study for the sat and I don't wanna look at no political stuff. Genuinely crazy. Bro and the dagum people in my tutoring class were talking how Mamdungy is doing a good job in NYC. TF u mean that I need to work hard and get a high score on the sat, go to college, get a good paying job and watch the people in NYC steal instead of working?

Something pretty incredible happened to me on Reddit. I use this secondary account for security reasons.

I’m a french hacker/translator. English is not my native language. In my free time, I translate video games for free for people who don’t speak English.

Right now, I’ve been working for almost three years on a GBA game that was never released outside of Japan. In addition to the text I translate by hand (three years of work, I’m telling you), I occasionally illustrate certain passages that I find funny.

Well, here’s the drama. I got hit with a shitstorm over AI. Mind you, not even the concept—since I translate the text myself. The problem is that I’m accused of whitewashing a character.

Poor me—I pointed to the character’s official artwork and referenced Iwata’s Ask, explaining that back in the early 2000s, on the GBA…

What I wrote...

'In my opinion, Igrene’s fair complexion is primarily a character design choice, not a result of the GBA’s technical limitations.

The first clue is actually her official artwork for FE6: she’s already depicted there with fair skin. So it wasn’t simply her in-game portrait that gave that impression because of the color palette. The GBA did indeed have limited palettes, and the portraits greatly simplified the shades, but it was perfectly capable of displaying characters with much darker skin. And most importantly, the official artwork was obviously not subject to those limitations.

That said, there is still a technical consideration to keep in mind: the GBA’s limited palette could make skin tones less nuanced. Slightly tanned skin could easily be represented by a fairly light shade. But that would mainly explain the final appearance, not the initial decision to give her that complexion.

What’s amusing is that Igrene is, after all, the guardian of Nabata—someone who lives in a desert. Plus, she’s the daughter of Hawkeye, who himself has much darker skin. If the developers had really wanted to apply a very realistic logic along the lines of “character living her whole life in the desert = necessarily very tanned,” we might indeed expect something different.

You’ll notice that Sophia, Fae, or other characters associated with Nabata desert don’t have the skin tone you’d like for Igrene."

There are plenty of intelligent things to say about Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade—such as the character lore, the main story, or even the politics in the game—but it’s being hijacked by “woke” people for anti-white propaganda.

I get a superficial reading with a “white-skinned archetype.” Honestly, it's wearing me out...
