Why the big silliness with BB and Persona releases in Europe? Is there a reason?
As far as an official statement, we have no clue wtf is going on (which is also part of the problem).
I read something about it being technical issues. And those technical issues could easily be avoided IF Atlus/ASW actually cared.
But at this point I’m not sure what the cause of all this is.
Here’s the link if you feel like reading about it and/or want to taste the salty EU tears.
As best as I can tell, it’s because Zen United is incredibly incompetent. They say that’s NOT the problem, but I’ve been completely unable to invent any other sort of explanation that plausibly explains all the problems they have.
lol feminism.

lol women complaining about sexuality in fighting games (guess they gave up on rap, and other things)

Urgh…people need to stop trying to be polite that a lot of the time these days feminism=sexism and that feminism is not equalism…
Don’t you just love how freedom of expression and freedom of speech is being attacked by political correctness and allowing those who have control on various media to act behind it without approaching subjects too “difficult” for them to discuss or when “it is not the right place?” I usually don’t care about what crap people spout but if feminism (not humanism, the equality of both genders) is allowed be allusion-ed to or discussed, then so too should discussion be allowed against it-less both be against the rules to discuss.
Funny thing, there’s a place in america where a school wanted to ban the word “dinosaur” on tests, because it offends those who don’t believe in evolution, and “divorce” (because it might offend children whose parents separated).
Yeah, shit like that is just really well, fucking stupid.
sorry guys, but you’re being stupid and reactionary. Feminism is, traditionally, and still, at its core, about securing equal rights for women, which, no, they still don’t have. Equal pay for equal work, that kind of thing.
The fact that there are a few nutjobs out there who post retarded videos on the internet means about as much to the idea of feminism as the existence of the tea party means that all Americans don’t believe in evolution.
Stop being so absurdly defensive. No one is taking away anyone’s rights here. Relax. Think. Have intelligent, reasoned conversations. Before we have to get a moderator in here to delete all this off topic crap.
Why did you mention Makoto?
That’s not a female…
Feminism originated and was primarily known in the 60s as essentially what’s considered “Feminazis” in that it was “screw the men, empower us instead” and wanted to take some of the responsibilities and benefits that men have away from them and give it to women and stemmed into what would be described as female chauvinism, or misandry. Hence, the difference between feminism and equalism is that feminism doesn’t account for things such as racism, religious persecution, or discrimination against the homosexual community, while equalism does. And well, sexism is typically described as containing the belief similar to thinking one group’s troubles and issues are more important than those of others.
You, sir, are wrong in just about every conceivable respect.
You could AT LEAST start with like, I dunno, looking something up on Wikipedia or something before you just start making up nonsense like this.
Seriously. You are right up there with the evolution deniers right now. I’m done with this conversation until you people can be bothered to find some facts.
When it comes to theory, there may be holes, but when it comes to how it’s expressed and applied, partly these days and all that? No, I’m most certainly not wrong in calling it sexism or at the very least borderline sexism. I’m sorry you take offense at it, but you should be mad at the people who make it come across that way, not someone who points out how it looks. The world needs equalism, not a sexist expressed form of feminism. Sure, the stuff with Makoto and sometimes Bullet is a bit much, but it was and is hardly worth going into a big argument about.
Livewire, it seems like your idea of feminism is a weirdly reactionary take on first-wave feminism’s focus on the rights of white, middle class women and the targeted essentialism of second-wave feminism, which has been out of vogue in serious theoretical discourse since the 1970s (first-wave) and 80s (second-wave). I’m unsure where you’re getting the terms equalism and humanism from, but I think the idea you’re getting at with them is third-wave feminism (*cf *Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Pierre Bourdieu). Which, um, makes you a feminist.
And that’s not a bad thing! Remember that feminism is, at it’s root, not just about empowering one group over another, but raising an awareness that our society is actually built on a system in which one group is already empowered over another. Real feminist theory is just pointing that out–it’s really just deconstructive Marxism, which is what you seem to be championing.
I really don’t see how that’s sexist in any way at all.
EDIT: But let’s get off this topic and back to BlazBoobs–I mean, Blue.
>wikipedia
lol. have you been to college? even crappy community colleges don’t accept/laugh wiki.
>women not having job equality
[citation needed]. nice unbacked claims you have there. I’ll be waiting.
Also, "Seriously. You are right up there with the evolution deniers right now. I’m done with this conversation until you people can be bothered to find some facts."
nice facts on the job equality comment
You can’t argue with some people, dude.
Sure, as long as you keep your feminist allusions, and comments out of this forum. You don’t speak your mind on the topic here, and I won’t either.
I will say I’m confused a bit because this marks the first time ever that somebody has said my views resemble feminism in any way, lol. But yes, back to Blazybloo and whatnot.
I went through Jourdal’s channel to listen to all the remixed tracks yesterday. Have to say, the new Lust SIN grinds my gears. I loved the original, but the new one is just… busy sounding. Noel’s is a great improvement, though, really seems to reflect her character development.
And Bullet’s theme is the jam.
I haven’t really been able to hear the new themes very well so far, but overall, I’m not impressed by the remixed versions. Though remixed cross line seems less annoying.
Soooooooo I’m supersuper drunk and shouldn’t post this b/c it’s off topic and is probably going to be a bit insulting. But. This has been weighing on my mind for a couple of days, and I’m compelled to point out that you’re a fucking idiot.
I’d try to engage you about feminism (which you’re super hung-up on for some reason) and theory and deconstruction and all that, but you apparently don’t have the firepower to respond to or even comprehend what I’d say. (Which, btw, comprehending is a lot more than bleating a random, ill-informed response, which is what you’ve done above.)
We’re speaking a different language. You’re riding the surface level of cultural “truth” or historiography, the level that “knows” that everything dominant and invisibly prescriptive is “real.” I’m suggesting that that’s not the case. Slow down, though–based on your posting history, you’ll be tempted to type: “Where did I say that everything dominant etc.” Let me preempt that by pointing out that that’s what your above post means. You’re supporting the dominant position in an artificially constructed dialectic of social production without acknowledging the fact that you’re doing so. Having your cake and eating it and all that. You’re quite full of talking points, though. Here’s a research project: Define: dogma, axiom, and history, and then use the former two to deconstruct the latter.
Learn to think critically, and then “You can’t argue with some people, dude.” won’t apply to you. Cuz right now it does. I really am sorry if this comes off as dickish, but do try to think about things before you take a passionate stance. And I promise I won’t wade into this topic again in this thread. If you’d like to really get into this, PM me, but know that I’ll be citing theory, including certain feminists who want to steal phalli–I mean, who deconstruct the status quo that you’re so heavily invested in defending.
Or we could scrub out with some BlazBoobs. Up to you. PSN: mr_nezbit
So I’ve been trying to play Extend seriously so I’m not complete garbage when BBCP comes up.(Hazama looks busted again, which im happy about)
This sums up my entire experience with the game so far.

Learn to use chains to move around - Hazama should pretty much never be trying to play ground footsies with Ragna. If you DO have to do it, use 3C more - I think it can low profile 5B, and it leads to loltastic rewards on CH.
