If you are confused about the term "femboy" then easiest way to explain is just prolonging the name fem-> feminine boy , there we go does it make sense now? Just boys who act girly its that simple their behavior and demeanor is more feminine than masculine but in my opinion no matter how hard a guy or man tries to act feminine women will always beat us in it its a battle we can't win we are playing in women field

If there is anything more embarrassing to young people about how they speak than using "BASED FAKT BASED BASED" as an expression of an "opinion", I haven't heard it yet. It doesn't make them sound smart, edgy, or "anti-establishment"; it makes them sound like they can't just explain their opinions. (And whether it originated with them or not, neo-nazis seem to love that word.)

Yeah, my issue is how this term came from a clover-themed site I won't name and yeah some problematic people used that term regarding some serious subject.

Maybe I shouldn't have reacted to them I agree but in the other hand I prefer when someone develop their opinion instead of using an internet buzzword.

By the way, remember that you can just block trolls from showing up on your end by going to their user page and clicking "Ignore." It seems more necessary with some people here than others.

Duly noted, thanks.

On a related note, the insanity defence is not a "get out of jail free" card. It's a "go directly to jail for life" card. Admitting to being unable to control oneself is saying that one shouldn't be allowed to interact with others for everyone's safety. I'd assume it doesn't work much differently for any troll who argues it in forums.

Aren't there institutions made to help people in that case to begin with?

Sadly real criminals used that claim thinking they could get scoff free so it's hard to tell if someone is truly not responsible of their action or faking it... Mental health is still a fairly new field of neurology and psychiatry and while I agree that we used to throw too many people who needed to get healed instead of thrown in prison this is still a subject that isn't fully grasped.


Anyway, we should continue with the main subject and not derailing it too far.




Why were older devs loving to put small, hard to hit enemies in platformers?

Ummm no is it the NSFW one?

Oh i remembered another one:

- VNs and Interactive Fiction count as games.

 

[MasterEn]

yes. it has a m rating on newgrounds, so you don't need an account to view it.

Well, they could fulfil the strict definition of a video game (interactive program on a screen) but I think they don't count as "games" if there is no actual rule nor win/lose condition (nor any specific goal).

I'm sorry but while I like the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape series they at least had some gameplay elements (AA has investigation sections and ZE has puzzle rooms).

If a game is only about text with little to no game over/branching paths then I would call it more like an e-book than a video game.

Even Chunsoft's Sound Novels and Point 'n Clicks have some sort of interaction beyond just advancing the text.

Hmmm I would rather not view it honestly.

Unless it would put them in danger*

@miguk

Well a warning was issued in this case already, and I commented just to make it clear we took notice of the argument. It's not an insinuation of guilt on everyone's part.

Good to hear. I was not referring to you as blaming everyone else. I was talking about the self-appointed "moderator" who decided that the best thing to do was blame the victim and egg on the trolls to attack. I'm not about to forget that happened when talking about being driven out of a thread by them. Though I should have made that more clear.

True, they have to be careful.

there's no nudity in it, the two characters are fully clothed, but it does explain why i found the femboy concept confusing.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I'm genuinely lost in this story (either because I got a bad memory or didn't notice).


I understand why some are upset at the NSO but in the same time I'm glad they're putting semi-obscure and obscure games people wouldn't have bought (nor even downloaded the rom of) to discover.

I do wish they would put rare games (like Satellaview, Famicom Disk System exclusive or even 64DD).

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I know that some people could

Spoiler: could be hard to endure

put a piercing/tattoo on the eyeball, saw the teeth to make them pointier, like a shark's or even decide to tattoo their face.

You're allowed to do that but honestly I'd recommend against and it could lead to incident or regret.

I might be missing the context here, but as far as NSO is concerned, I figured the animosity is the value proposition. It's really not terrible, but updates are slow, they can't get a lot of the big games that people want, and the initial state of N64 games was disappointing.

If a game is only about text with little to no game over/branching paths then I would call it more like an e-book than a video game.

Even i can't defend Kinetic Novels, thankfully they are a minority.

But, my point comes from the fact that to those not in the know, something like Ace Attorney or Utawarerumono is the same as Planetarian (as good as it is, its a glorified ebook), which leads them to disregard the whole genre.

If you took 100.000 people with no experience of playing games and no nostalgia for them to play through all games ever created and rank them based on what they liked the most, and then made a consensus list based on that, no game on that list would be older than 20 years.

Would Bad Ends count as a lose state? In Fate/stay night I like how they use Bad Endings as foreshadowing. There's one that gives you a glimpse of the power of one the antagonists and that comes a while before it becomes relevant again.

I won't judge man but how you come across shi like this........

Yeah, the big 5 games should've been included.

Anyway I'm happy that more Rare games got added.


Slow updates are why I don't wanna pay for a full year even if it's less than 2 bucks per months.

TV Tropes separates VN from actual video games.

I'm sorry but even Point 'n clicks and Myst-like games were niche for PC. I do enjoy Broken Sword but that's because they got more than just text.

it was the 2010's and i was just browsing at complete random on newgrounds. a tale as old as time itself.

Agree to disagree then.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Femboys have been a meme but I think that overstayed its welcome.

Japanese media had bishonens (androgynous/girly looking guys that were still identifying as guys) as well as otokonoko (which are more like crossdressers in this case).

But the whole debate about liking them to be gay or not is just a stupid one: A lot of people can be curious (pun intended) while still being ultimately straight because you don't suddenly turn from one to the other. Yeah, there are even gay people that could get interested in the opposite gender at some point in their lives (until they lose interest or discover they're actually bi).

People are more complex than that and many factors are there for attraction (like why some people prefer blond hair or someone tall), especially personality.

And nobody is allowed to judge them for their choice.
Just know that every action has consequences, good or bad or both, and if these choices lead them to said consequence it is also their responsibility to face it head on.

Sadly I think that judging someone is intrinsic.

Not to say that appearance defines somebody but I think that in the workplace someone hiring would prefer someone "looking professional" over someone with unclean long hair or with piercings and tattoos that are easy to see.

I don't like when people are being overly strict about appearance at work but I can understand why in the office they prefer formal clothes, a good haircut and no visible body modifications.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Agree to disagree then.

Fine then.

It's probably in the same category of asking if video game can be art.

I do like women & femboys both.
