There’s a post floating around about “my friend who spoke to Toby” saying how the term “genocide run” was coined by an LPer that was “making bad Holocaust jokes”, and that Toby Fox personally discouraged use of the term.
The truth of it being, a genocide run LP that got mass views early on in the fandom had named their Chara “Hitler”. That in itself is in bad taste, and I never watched the LP in question to confirm or deny if there was more to it, but from what I’ve heard that was the only thing.
Toby Fox himself used the term genocide run, predating this LP.
“Genocide run” is not a reference to the Holocaust. The Holocaust was not the only genocide in human history and the word “genocide” is not exclusively referencing it or any kind of a synonymous term for the event.
Genocide means a mass killing, which is exactly what you do in that run. This is a word we have in our language to describe a thing. By censoring this you are taking away from our lexicon, as well as promoting this misconception that it is an offensive term.
You think these words hurt but really you are giving them the power to hurt.
Right, base the thought of another game on the reviews of a remaster on a single platform asking for bug and graphic fixes.
This can’t be legit… right?
I’m going to talk about this really fast. They where mostly getting attention back to the series. They’re not gauging attention.
As for the reviews, they’re stupid. Most of the negative reviews are from people who are grouchy because an 80% discount wasn’t a 100% discount. People complaining because the remastered edition will cost them 80% off.
It’s a bunch of whinny children who think they’re owed something.
And the other half is about a day 1 glitch that got fixed.
TLDR: People are complaining that they’re not getting the game for free, and others are complaining about something that isn’t a factor anymore.
Edit: And Vigil went under not because Darksiders 2 was bad, but because THQ went under. Since Vigil was connected to THQ, they where dissolved. It has nothing to do with the game quality.
it really disturbs me how many people are completely unable to flip a situation around and understand that if they were treated that way, they’d be pretty upset too.
It’s even worse when someone had been in that situation before and refuses to help now because they didn’t have any help when they were in it.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
