Yeah, fat people are inferior..... in cultures with a gross artificial feeding surplus

I live in southwest Africa. When I was a kid, chubby women with light brown skin were considered the zenith of beauty. Chubby but not fat- the round and rosy cheeked kind. Why? I don't know. Skin had to be what was called "pupa", which means light brown but not high enough to be yellowish or...

Your preferences are not racist. Your tone is racist. Racism is all about action and communication. You may have a preference for white girls, which is all well and good, but expressing it in public with such terms is racism. This is because political correctness is, in fact, a gag order...

Video games are computer simulations. If this were about some algorithmic method of generating realistic expressions I would be interested. Perhaps some way to enable a mass effect character (for example) to emote properly merely by receiving simple inputs as cues. Instead of depending...

Oh, be quiet. Fighting games are awesome! OT: You made a good choice selecting SF over the button-tap games. Tekken and Soulcalibur *are* games that force you to memorize button combos, counters and so forth...and as a result can be pretty tedious. Streetfighter doesn't force you to...

well... ff13 was not held up as an example of the 'good' jrpgs, although the battle system was excellent. It had a crappy story and is pretty annoying because, being the most visible, JRPG haters can easily pick on it and generalise I put it forward just to show how the so-called stereotype...

Rubbish. Final fantasy didnt define anything. Dragon quest had been around long before, and it was years before Final fantasy achieved any form of prominence. You're just picking on it because it's an easy target. Saying demons souls has a western style is a massive, laughable joke, as if...

Preach on, brother. Everyone else, what he says is pretty spot on. We have all decided on the crap from japan that we hate, and we have labelled it JRPG, and then we generlise the whole genre. Any game from Japan that isn't as crap as what we know to be crap isn't 'JRPG' anymore. What nonsense.

Demons souls was a JRPG. If you are just going to say any good jrpg sidestepped any kind of 'japanese' gameplay (as if there is such a thing) then you just prove my point. It's bad because its japanese. And if its good, then it's not. ALL videogame companies keep churning out the same stuff...

Whoa, sorry dude. I concede, you win. JRPGs suck!!! Chill out, man!!!

Since you ran away, I win by default :-) Also its ok to tell us the source of your personal hatred towards japanese media.AND rpgs. You just destroyed all your credibility right there.

Games that target the otaku gamer (queens blade demographic) are amongst the lower 80% of trash. The best JRPGs do not target this demographic. The current hate wave towards Japanese development and anime is better served by reinforcing the abhorrent otaku culture and generalising that to...

That flowchart is horribly inaccurate and unfair. A similarly unfair and mischievous flowchart could be drawn about WRPGs, too. It is merely a symptom of the deeper problem: A current trend of backlash. Its ok to hate anime. Just accept that your hate is purely personal preference and has...

1. You cannot generalise based on the lower 80% of trashy content, or all WRPGs would be dreary DnD nonsense with busty barmaids and heroes called 'th'tharigan the mighty, slayer of the warg'lathran' 2. The upper 20% does NOT fall into this category. Even the much hated Final Fantasy 13...
