Why are you demanding sources on general industry knowledge that you just haven’t been privy to previously

Can you just see this project for the flawed mess it is or are you that blinded by the hypothetical positive end result

Shit. I thought I blocked you. I’m not asking for sources on industry knowledge. So fuck you for thinking I’m that fucking stupid. K?

This has been covered by the folk over at Arkh. so.

My main question is — and I’m not asking you specifically, because fuck you — why are people trying so hard to trip this up? If there are suggestions to be made, fucking make them. If there are questions, fucking ask them. If there are things you think they should know, fucking tell them. 

All this rumor-mongering isn’t helping anything. All it’s doing is serving someone’s vendetta against one person.

So, again, fuck you. And if anyone else has anything to say, here’s an idea:

ASK THE FUCKING PEOPLE AT THE ARKH BLOG

You know. Instead of spreading shit rumors to discredit ONE PERSON.

besides my issues w/ dtwps/gnn/sba/riley, i’m just gonna say this: 

if this is supposed to be so groundbreaking, where’s the break? from what i’m reading at sf_drama, we have a japanese character in qipao just to start, and an outfit direct from the runways on the darker character here. (it might be “an edit that needs to be made” but then that shows that they spent cash dolla on finished character art that isn’t even relevant and they know it. doesn’t give me faith.) apparently the japanese character is nb, unless they’re just tossing around “they/them” pronouns for haruka, and i guess that’s cool but they still fit the most socially acceptable template of being gq in that they’re androgynous with masculine flavoring, pale, and thin. i know i’m a broken record, but would it kill any fuckin game on the planet to have a positive fat character? if li’l ol me who won’t ever be making a game can have fun rping a fat superheroine, i don’t see why other people—short of, i guess, skinny people who would just rather not have to deal with looking at fat people in their games, gosh—couldn’t enjoy playing one in an actual game. 

sure, there’s only three characters revealed. but it’s not giving me much hope so far, and tbh i don’t want support and visibility coming from someone like riley. they make good points about race but when it comes to literally anything else they fall right on their damn face. 

you know, it’s okay to fuck up in the past. i bet if someone combed through my old lj posts i’d die of shame. the thing is to apologize when that shit gets dug up, acknowledge that it was shitty and that you’re a new person. what i’ve seen from riley is defensive bullshit and a lot of posturing, and no apology for their shitty behavior in the past (rape jokes, sideways racism, abuse of the r word, etc). instead, they insinuate that anyone that has a problem with their past behavior is some cis white str8-ie that just hates blackness. even if the game surprises us all and turns out fabulously, riley’s involvement has already ruined it for me and many others. 

at this point, like. idk. riley and the folks at kinou games are not the only qpoc out there with ideas or industry knowledge, and i’d rather see someone else tackle this kind of project than take a big smiley bite out of a shit sandwich. 

reglob for hupsoonheng’s commentary.

i mean. could the “native american” character be anymore cliche/look more like shakira?

no amusement from me.
