I think you can simultaneously like a gatcha game (or more than one) and also think the setup is predatory or leads to gambling addictions. And the fact is there is enough of a market that there isn't a way to organize true boycotts that would be effective. So withdrawing your support wouldn't affect them one way or another.


(or maybe you would think this is just me quibbling because I play/played Genshin Impact, Grand Order, and another one that's more niche so I won't say it)

[(Anonymous)]

Kinda feeling you on this, anon. I play Grand Order and have plenty of mutuals who would retweet stuff about 'gosh so glad I don't spend my money on those predatory games' who are now all over Genshin. And just to make it more annoying they keep trying to justify that Genshin is somehow 'better' because it has a pity timer, as if that somehow makes the gacha less predatory (it especially annoys me when they compare it to FGO because yes, FGO's rates do totally suck and it really does need a viable pity system, true, but FGO can also be beaten with entirely free units, gives out excellent welfares that are sometimes better than paid ones, and while higher NP levels are nice you don't need to pull multiple copies of one character to get them to full potential).

[(Anonymous)]

People are often contradictory unfortunately, especially when they happen to like something they otherwise besmirch. Granted if they're into the characters without playing the game that'd be different and not really that hypocritical?(still a little tho I suppose) But if they're playing then yeah... they're making excuses just because they're emotionally attached to 'this' predatory gatcha game.

[(Anonymous)]

Gotta admit I laughed at this secret even though I think it's perfectly possible to enjoy a predatory gacha game while not actually... paying for it. (Source: Me because I'm poor as heck so I'm F2P and if it's too P2W I just don't play.)

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, yes, gacha games suck, but there's a difference between ones you can do ok for free and ones where you have to pay. I enjoyed Avengers Academy for ages and yet I would definitely call myself someone who hates micro-transaction and gacha games.

I never understood the stereotype of gay men supposedly being hostile to women (unless they worked in the fashion industry).

[(Anonymous)]

Why would anyone be into this ship if that's the case? Screw making your ship "canon", what's the point of this? To upset other people? Congrats.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I can't say I'd be all that jazzed to find out one of the actors of a ship I liked hated women. I don't think it would put me off the ship, as I really have a heavy actor/character filter, but it wouldn't be nice to find out at the same time.

Well, there’s always Tokyo Ghoul for “both sides of this race war are kinda right and also super wrong.” And there was some stuff like that in Dan and Mab, which I think is still a thing? I haven’t checked it in forever.

[hey_hey_hey]

But Cullen does drugs. Sooo sad.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's really possible to have a "both sides are valid" version of oppressors and oppressed

Just based on the definition of what oppression is

[(Anonymous)]

Disagree. Obviously things went pear-shaped for the sake of story development, but the Templars' existence and even (some) methods were very valid. This wasn't like with the humans being racist against the elves for funsies. The mages' shaky natural tie to The Veil made them dangerous to both themselves and society. At best they were more susceptible than average to demon possession, and at worst capable of nuking a city if they lost control of their powers through emotion or simple inexperience. Of course the mundanes would want to develop some kind of force to monitor, warn, combat or contain that shit. If you're a regular townsfolk, after the 18th time one of your neighbors' kids turns the drinking water into acid or unleashes a gargoyle rampage on the market, you're going to want them to gtfo. Forcibly, if necessary. Maybe go live in a nice tower upstate where they can relax and read all day...

I can understand your frustration, even though I feel the exact opposite. I love mild, informal D/s dynamics, and subs are always bottoms for me, that's just what I like.

Welcome!

[(Anonymous)]

Being another non-target demo for this show I'm so happy when more people find it and enjoy it. Just because something is built for family friendly/kids viewing doesn't mean it has to be dumb or boring to adults.

There's TONS of good fic out there. Between the Tumblrs, AO3 and the like, enjoy and just go for it. There's even an insta for fans over 30, so the true fan base is big enough for everyone.

Now we just need Netflix to announce season 2!

Retro secrets

The cabbage harvest has begun and it's almost time for the roads to melt, so I thought I'd indulge in some FS nostalgia.
