It is exactly the extreme opposites' combo of "massive amounts of pornographic content easily accessible" and "extreme, borderline-taboo censorship" about the matter that made me end up being exposed to inaproppriate material at the age of 8, baffling me about why was sex such an incredibly frowned-upon matter despite looking pretty and enjoyable, while at the same time forcing me to stay silent on the matter because "everyone says it's wrong".

It also didn't help that everyone at Elementary School talked about how "cool" it was watching some extreme things like, say, The Exorcist (especially girls for some weird reason) while no one actually talking about media with nudity on it (save for the boys that gathered to discuss about San Andreas nightclubs and stuff), and especially girls ending up being grossed out at the matter or calling you a pervert for ONLY barely talking about the matter.

To top it all off, at least where I live, you didn't receive sex education until 5th grade (way too late, imo), and it just explains the mechanics without getting into the moral, physical and emotional impact it carries to a certain individual.

I personally grew up pretty frustrated about the matter, not being able to understand what was wrong about all this until many, many years later.

Okay yeah how is Star Fox 64 not here?
People complaining about SJWs are such hypocrites when they're just as easily offended, if not moreso.
They replaced Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark with Donkey Kong 64 and Pokemon Snap.

I imagine Snap is only on there due to the announcement of the sequel.

Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64 are the notable games to have yet to appear in this poll. After that we are in niche fanbase territory.

Donkey Kong 64 has a ridiculously high metacritic score (90) which might be why it was chosen to take up a spot.

Is the MOBA genre disliked outside of GameFAQs as well? After the Pokemon MOBA announcement I've been seeing a lot of comments that trash the entire genre.

People generally dislike MOBAs from what I've seen (in spite of the viewer numbers they draw) and gamers as a whole are extremely anti-Tencent (the new pokemon game has them involved)

Not a good combination on top of the massive Sword/Shield criticisms people still have

there’s a (probably unreasonable) concern within a lot of the gaming community that the moment Tencent gets involved with something it will become a Chinese propaganda machine filled with censorship

but realistically this stuff hasn’t actually affected anyone outside of China except in cases like that pro Hearthstone player getting banned for supporting Hong Kong protestors on a stream

I think if you’re not a person who’s into MOBA, it can be one of the least fun gaming experiences around. There’s a strong chance of your first game in LoL just being an awful experience of people being a******s to you because you’re not doing it right.
Leads to a lot of people really disliking the genre.

“It’s unreasonable outside of the biggest example proving it.”

You also missed all of the artwork being censored for China and Blizzard trying to blacklist Savjz because his wife criticized Blizzard’s business practices. Blizzard might as well move to Beijing at this rate.

if you were planning to use this Pokémon moba specifically as an outlet for anti-Chinese government activism then I guess tencent’s involvement might be a problem

And then they do the these posts that are like a picture of Winnie the Pooh and just the text “f*** you presidnt !!!” and get a million upvotes because they’re being defiant toward their own imagined oppression

Reddit literally stopped caring about free speech and started openly censoring anything not leftist the second Tencent put in the 150 million dollar donation.

so maybe it’s not some conspiracy and there’s something more to the OP’s screenshot

Since you don’t have that kind of money, I’ll just take acknowledgement that I’m right. Reddit is about to be tumblr.

I agree with you that if the banwave happens it will be all/almost all right wing subreddits.

Where we disagree is on the conclusion you’re drawing from an anti-racism banwave almost exclusively impacting right wing subreddits.

I mean, Animal Crossing is going to look good out of the gate and FFVIIR is going to go up overnight.

It wasn't going to be as strong as the original, but clear GOTY favorite is good enough. I'd actually respect the strength of New Horizons.
