The focus is on the consent of the fictional character which rings all the same alarm bells for me that are associated with the demand for consent from an illustration-- it's concerning that this is the angle instead of, say, using AI to remove a real person's clothing. Thin edge of the wedge.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

it still annoys me when someone says "looks like a ps2 game" ad a comparison about game visuals bc it ignores that a ps2 on a crt is literally the most beautiful any videogame can ever possibly look

i don't trust reviewers who criticize a game by constantly comparing it to what they consider the peak of the genre instead of generally trying to judge it on its own merits. they remind me of my dad

Its interesting how were at a point in criticism where its easier for a lot of people to assume that whatever theyre engaging with just sucks and immediately write it off as corrosive and evil without even caring to investigate it further

"i want shorter games" is advocating for less crunch, not being categorically opposed to longer than average games. that's absurd. if i'm eating a cake and suddenly stop being hungry i know it's no big deal, since i can put the cake in the fridge. same with games

thing about graphical realism is that a lot of the games that cynically chase after it don't care enough about the visual language of film they are trying to copy to make the realism actually interesting let alone work in games. something as basic as colour palette and scene framing is a good one

Imagine being so reactionary that your entire ideological position is "no-one should ever think for even a nanosecond that I might agree with The Chuds on something" and as a result you end up dismissing the constantly growing censorship problem with JP/anime-style media as insignificant or not real
