Miss the good old days

I'll try and put this the most polite way possible, although it's hard.

You Americans need to get over yourselves, it's not all about you and your politics, you know?
I've heard such braindead takes lately like blaming crossdressing in a Japanese game on DEI. Can't blame for not knowing, but maybe learn a little bit about the history and culture of crossdressing in Japan before making a case.
I think the major thing that changes was you guys, all your outrage critics and alt-right/left reactionaries have infected your brains, you've trolled eachother so hard that you've started to believe the absolute nonsense. Stop reacting, start thinking for yourself!

Sometimes a story is overly simplistic.
Sometimes a VA is a nepotism hire.

That's all.

Take a shot everytime a privileged person calls a targeted hate campaign dRaMa, lol

[NegativeS]

Take a shot every time a brigading instigator calls someone who disagrees with them a buzzword

I mean, if you can't see how decrying DEI and waging a verifiable harassment campaign against a POC trans voice actress is bad, then that kinda does speak volumes on one's character.

The current oppressive political climate is caused by the resurgence of fascism, notably in the USA. Where are you feeling that in Dawntrail?

Is this thread not evidence lmao

Note that I said "game culture", not the game itself. Literally just look at this thread and the comments right above this. This is what gaming culture is in 2025.

The thread isn't even about politics. It's just one really deranged dude trying to derail it into that.

This thread was essentially about nostalgia for a bygone time, and suddenly you're talking crap about Americans and politics. WTF.

I know I was the one bringing it up but man, look at how everything becomes culture war BS now, including this thread (which is tame to be fair, but still, it's a totally different vibe from 2015).

^Guy who thinks there was no culture war in games in 2015. Spot the gamergater.

And nah, I really don't think it's just me. I went down memory lane and looked at social media from the early 2010s. It was so pure. The Internet unironically liked wholesome, "cringe" advice animals memes. People were sharing xkcd nerdy jokes. There was frankly barely any politics on the Internet. It was kinda relegated in a corner - traditional mainstream media during primetime hours

If you thought there was no politics online in early 2010s, when there was an ongoing global economic recession following a massive financial crash, it's because you were living in a bubble and you were privileged enough to be unaffected.

Obvious bait posts aside, Stormblood Summoner was the best version of the job they've ever released and I will fight you on this.
