I know I'll never remember the thread title, but it was some kind of heated drama topic, and someone said "stop derailing!" and the very next post was "my favorite color is green".

badspot contributed to the negativity and actively bullied people himself
True lol, idk why I forgot about that.

actually didn't he like just get in an argument with someone last week lol
Yeah over the article he wrote on his website. I didn’t bring it up on my post cuz I was more focusing on the past and why he might have taken a backseat in moderating the forum in the first place

If you have the choice to make something more beautiful or less, it takes a broken mind to choose less.
but that calls into question what someone's definition of beauty is. Like, what adds more value (aka beauty, but beyond physical appearance) to an art piece (videogame): everyone being beautiful because it's nice to look at, or character's appearances having a more realistic diversity (some are average looking, and some are above/below average)? It's not evident of a "broken mind" to choose the second option because it can make something more realistic/relatable to the audience, both of which increase value of the art piece (at least to those that care about those traits in art)

i feel like this place could have been so much better if even something as small as the "no flaming" rule had been enforced all the time. People got away with blatantly and unnecessarily insulting each other all the time. If memory serves I think people only got banned when they really crossed the line, but huge jerks almost never were and toxicity became the "cool" norm.

I'm sure badspot banned tons and tons of people who deserved it over the years, and I kind of feel sorry for him having to navigate the issue of having a growing community of children/teens/adults all mixed together during a time when indie games were unheard of. I don't think he or anyone else saw the issues that plagued this place coming. However, eventually they became plain to see, and unfortunately nothing was changed to make improvements

I honestly have no idea why I peep these forums every now and then. It's always weird seeing someone like you post, someone who I remember playing on servers with. I can definitely say this community was never what it should have been, for a game geared towards children. It's weird how impactful this game was to us that we still come back and view these forums.
this is gonna sound weird but you have no idea how nostalgic your avatar is to see lol. I remember seeing it back in like 2011 when I was a kid and too shy to make an account here, so I just lurked quietly

Oh, so someone claiming to be you just happened to post something in the exact same typing mannerisms as you. Sure. Even if you're telling the truth it's pretty clear you share the same sentiments so the point stands.
That’s kind of a silly/unfair thing to say though, you can’t just assume it’s really him and then base the rest of this part of your post off that assumption. It would be really easy to put words in peoples’ mouths just by reading their posts here, and then going to the badspot site and posting something that sounds vaguely familiar to how they talk



We're talking videogame characters here, not real women. This argument was also answered in the FAQ of the article, real people are worth more than just their looks.
You might have missed my post on this since it was on a edit to an already existing post instead of a new one, but I’m curious what your take is on the parts where badspot insults real life people in the article (this isn’t some “gotcha!” attempt or anything, I’m just curious since a big part of your argument is that it’s fictional people, so no harm done, which is true)

does anyone remember this
to be fair there's not really a shortage of him making fun of real people in the article as well








you could say there's nothing wrong with simply having an opinion on how someone looks (cuz everyone has them) but jeez lol. I doubt that the people brought up in the article will ever see this article so no harm done, but it's just... indecent. Which of course is his right, he can speak however he wants lol. But I don't think some of the reactions we're seeing are unfounded cuz of stuff like these pics

edit:

Well, it made me laugh. The character looks comedically bad, like a 4chan meme but if it had a huge budget. I'm not sure why you're mad he's making fun of someone that doesn't exist. Do you identify with this character? Is that it?
~~~
The article appears to be making fun of ugly women in games

making all female/male characters in a show or game look idealized or beautified creates an unrealistic portrayal of humans in general. beauty is subjective and being 'beautiful' isn't a prerequisite for their importance to the plot. unless their supposed beauty or ugliness drives the plot in some way (ie. character is a love worker, or vat-grown superhuman, or circus freak) then there's no reason to visually portray them in another way
