I finished 100%ing the spyro reignited trilogy. Spyro 3 fucking sucked
Spyro 1 is pretty good though
I agree rusp!

The devs probably had no idea
or rather, the team responsible for promotions
they probably saw "oh, people like to post this with cute child characters, okay we will make an emote"
I feel like it's the kind of thing that's used so often ironically/as a joke that some people will of course take it seriously and start using it as a legit "dogwhistle" but I don't like the concept of painting something as black and white "this is a dogwhistle" when someone uses it.
My favourite part about the game discourse is the crying emote has been drown out by right wing grifters posting clips of women freaking out at the cute child saying "this is dismantling left/jewish mind control, teaching gamers it is normal to want to have children"
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I feel like it's the kind of thing that's used so often ironically/as a joke that some people will of course take it seriously and start using it as a legit "dogwhistle" but I don't like the concept of painting something as black and white "this is a dogwhistle" when someone uses it.
As i understand it when used in the context of responding to pictures of children, real or fake, it's meant to be a sexual thing
There is a level of ironic cunnyposting
I would wager 70+% of people who do that are not actually pedophiles
I would know!
It kind of becomes a community in joke sort of thing
That japanese guys post is unironically really fucking funny, I can understand referencing it
I think you can joke about anything no matter how horendous the thing is
and you should
I mean, it's pretty obvious the devs know
it's just also, really low stakes
also posting the crying emote is not equivalent to saying "you should groom a child" at this point
"that's the pedo emoji" is completely unhinged
but the devs 100% know
I also feel like cunnyposting is sort of over the hill
same way owo "notices bulge" furryposting died
For popular internet, I think it peaked with the peak in popularity of BA
I think its kind of fading back into being more niche again
Yeah for sure
Dialga, speaking of BA
I saw some news story
