Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it's almost all she'll watch. She's had to get used to some of the...cultural differences...that Anime includes, but she's so used to it now that it barely registers any more.

...cultural differences...

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

I mean there's some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.

Just look at Stroheim from JoJo's

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

Okay, he's German. Uh, and he's in the army. And it's WW2.

...Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

Nope, he's just the new bro, here we're all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he's arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

I mean, I haven't seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There's a lot of shit I don't pick up on tho.

GODDAMMIT JAPAN

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don't want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.
