I'm really glad that the obsessive min-max part of my brain that makes me stop having fun with these games hasn't yet attached to the mirror stance.

Problem is they had some seriously good and unique (so far) powers that you can use. Searing Arc is like a fireball at the end of your sword, a [weapon] tagged black mage spell that does large fire damage to primary target, then half that to everyone around, Reaping Blade is Blight damage [weapon] Black spell that staggers the enemy and then heals you for half the damage you do with the attack, and Shielding Smite is a white mage [weapon] power that adds large fire damage, then puts a 3 round buff of +50 to Armor, Ward and Focus for the entire party, those are all really freaking good spells, especially for Spellblades, of which I have three characters that are some variation of. Currently to my knowledge these spells are only available by being mirrored off the Dragon Knight and the Forge Golem, they don't exist otherwise in the game, and they can be used just fine on level 7, unlike Dragon Breath or Double Attack which is going to be useless for likely years still.

Tell that to Japan, there is a reason the stereotypes exist...whether you like it or not.

Not sure what you expected this to be called mate. I dunno what you and the writers issue with Japanese people is but this is always the defense I hear...just more blatant then usual.

I will say though that one of my big complaints with the way races are written is how uniform they are. If there were real world analogues to these races it absolutely would be racist like for example the kitsune. Almost all of the characters are stereotypical of their race and that sucks.

There isn't anywhere near as clear a real world analogue for the other races as them though. Kinda surprised you wouldn't lead with them.
Clearly, they were so "offended" by Gwyn that they just gave up and stopped after the first couple minutes of play. That or they totally argued in bad faith.

You really spent your time openly claiming to be a racist and advocating it. Enjoy your perma
Speaking as a racist myself I have to tell you stereotyping is pretty tame as far as discrimination goes. It can even save your life.
To quote the late, great philosopher Patrice O' Neal;
"If I'm walking home at night and I see four bald headed white dudes coming toward me, I'm not gonna wonder if they're coming from chemotherapy, I'm gonna run."

Racism is the current dominant social ideology in the west at the moment. White privilege and white supremacy are the same in every practical sense. Imagine apologizing to someone because you think the color of your skin gives you inherent advantage over someone. That's cartoon villain levels of arrogance, but if you phrase it the right way.....
We're getting off track though, more to it, racism is a real thing in real life, and it shouldn't be ignored in media solely based on the fact that it makes some people uncomfortable. When you refuse to see people as individuals, and make comments like. "I hate how all of these kitsunes act the same" you are becoming the very thing you claim to hate.
I work outside, all my coworkers are Mexican or Columbian. I'm the only non Spanish speaker among them most days. Would it be racist to assume that with a job like mine, we'd get a lot of Hispanics? Yes. It would also be correct. And hilarious, I might add.

Gotta say I just want nothing to do with you at all and your "you're the real racist" shtick didn't work when the first white supremacist thought it up and it's not going to work for you now.

As validating as it is for all the racists on the board to come out and say "You're right, but it's no big deal, stereotypes exist for a reason" I'd much rather those racists just not be here.

Again, whose justifying? I'm not seeking approval or validation from anyone. Im more than comfortable with my racism, thanks. Id much rather people who see oppression and victimization in anything and everything not be here, myself. So we don't like each other. That's established. In other news, water is still in fact wet. The fact that we disagree is the point of discussion.
What I've heard so far, though, is "here is racism in the game, I don't like it." and I've said, "yeah, that's pretty racist, because real people are real racist, and it makes the world more authentic."
Tell me why a fantasy world shouldn't have fantasy racism. What is the point of different races if they aren't different.

Okay, so, I am going to close this tread for a while.

I would like everyone who has been participating recently to take a good long look at yourselves and your posting history and ask if you're A) actually contributing anything of value to the sum total of discussion around this game and B) making a good use of your limited time on this earth by flaming each other in the complaints bin of a porn game.

This forum doesn't have much, if any, moderation these days. But when I reopen this thread (or more likely, maybe a new Gripes Box), if people resume... whatever the fuck you've been doing in here for the past several days... I'm going to start issuing timeouts and bans.

Posting your issues with the game is the point on this thread. Sometimes people will have wildly bad, dumb takes. Sometimes they will have valid takes you just don't agree with. In either case, that's not an excuse to just go stirring up shit for your own amusement, and it's not a place to start talking your own weird race philosophy. For God's sake, it's a porn game, contain yourselves.
