Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called ‘America’, the internet and what woke means: “ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called ‘Gamer Gate’ and single men who couldn’t have sex would harass women for criticising video games”

Medieval serf with like seven different intestinal parasites you-are-a-serf: “wtf is a pronoun?”

    idek what the fuck they’re on about now. The game is probably gonna be shit and all but like, the protagonist just looks like she’s got 1979 Alien Sigourney Weaver vibes, which is pretty aesthetically consistent with star wars, a series started in the late 70s.

    And I am loathe to engage in this stupid ass (hehe) conversation on their level, but Ripley wasn’t some hypersexualized inhumanly proportioned t&a waifu. Does that make foundational 70s-80s scifi woke trash because women weren’t caked up anime waifus?

    e: also aside, just looking at it now but damn i fw droids with coats/capes/cloaks, thats a good design
