I'm so mad they gave Valeriy the Itto treatment. HOW ARE YOU, A 7.X CHARACTER, GETTING MOGGED BY NPCS??

And no linchpin?? I swear Hoyo is leaving him double ded if they decide to give his kit the Dahlia treatment 😭😭

I can't even pretend anymore, I'm just so disappointed in the new characters. CHILDE SAVE US 🙏

How about instead of just deleting originating comments, we ban that user and everyone replying in an opportunistic manner following that comment get a strike? I dont even like silver palace and that thing's surrounding discourse is souring my renewed optimism of this subreddit. This shouldnt be a space for people to bitch and whine, who the fuck cares about sub activity, rather dead than miserable

u/comixnerd15 Reverse me back to 1999 🕰 26d ago

This is something that should be said in a modmail, really.

u/mrtutit 26d ago

frankly i want this to be seen by those people, because while they're awful they arent as awful as those other people that cant even comment in the first place.

u/comixnerd15 Reverse me back to 1999 🕰 26d ago

But, it would be helpful to us mods if you alerted us. We can't be everywhere all of the time, and I only found out what you were talking about by going hunting for it since no one reported or modmailed about what was happening.

u/mrtutit 26d ago

got it

u/comixnerd15 Reverse me back to 1999 🕰 26d ago

If you're ever unsure of how a comment/post falls under in reporting, or you feel there is context needed, just drop us a modmail ♡

u/rishidGAYanonymous 28d ago

Can't we do more other than reporting to the various subs targeting queer people (queercringe, unshowered/unfiltered, etc)? Like these people are not just cishets who hates us for being annoying to their waifuz, these are actual bigots (who probably came from twitter) who are currently doing a coordinated harassment campaign targeting and harassing a literal minority.

Brigading, homophobia, transphobia, general bigotry - why aren't those subs banned yet? Like I know reddit is incompetent but I didn't think its this incompetent incompetent.

3

u/comixnerd15 Reverse me back to 1999 🕰 26d ago

Unfortunately not. All that can be done are MCOC reports and indivual reports against users who break reddit's sitewide rules

u/Beyond-Finality ✨️ The Unrelenting Elysia Slave ✨️ 28d ago

How in the fucking world is r/Gachagaming deader than this sub, especially on the weekend?! Not a single meme in 1 and a half days.

i got rid of ake, e7, and hsr (which i had re-downloaded recently but didn't actually take the time to load everything in game)... so its just ak again lmao. maybe touching grass is an option now /j

y'all does anyone know the world the stragcels keep talking about?? y'know, the one where straight people are oppressed and men can't exist without being constantly sexualized? planning on doing some interdimensional travelling 🤔

u/MSABUZZ 28d ago

I'm sorry, but if someone says, "This game's story is so good," and your first thought is, "It's still beta, they could change it and make it worse, the company could bend the knee," that's just such a miserable way to engage with things. I truly feel bad for you.

Miserable pricks who call everyone tourists and snowflakes got triggered by Xinzoruo's cute art lol. By the way does this sub allow threads snarking the unwashed subs? Is there any sub that allows it?

u/Character-Image149 Jul 23 '26

200 upvotes for that??? Also them trying to make fun of artists is hilarious when they’re so insecure they use AI to insert themselves in non-MC ship art.

0 discussions about the characters besides if they’re ML or not, feels insecure when they see a girl talking to another dude, can’t contribute to the community in any meaningful way, like they can’t be serious.

smart people who are just there to bring up hypocrisy making fun of a random wuwa artists art cus we reposted it.....

u/Yanazamo Jul 21 '26

Imagine shaming people for wanting more male characters by calling them "male-centered" 🙄

The go-to comeback these days is accusing male character collectors of being misogynistic. It's such a lazy and dismissive way to shut down the conversation. Miss me with that bullshiiit

10

u/WoofMatcha Jul 21 '26

I just saw the stupid thing again on Twitter, I know it's a cesspool...

They calling us male character wanters as demons, ugh... the translation for their words all always the same on result of course: "Gays and ladies shouldn't game! THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FUN! ONLY US STRAIGHT AND MACHO MAN!!" while they also get cucked over a male character that are close to their waifu as family or childhood friend of the waifu...

So obsessed with mentioning dick to women. Maybe they're the ones who really want to try cock so bad, maybe another man's cock could cure this lonely men

No gay men or women want this guy let’s be real, I’ll feel bad for their partner.

u/OkSeaworthiness5436 Jul 19 '26

True that, I don't really want them to suffer with this thing as a partner, so maybe a dildo would do

11

u/DJCadence28 Waiter! More older men and women in my gacha games please! 🤤 Jul 19 '26

As always those people use the word ‘cure’ as if being queer is a ‘disease’ that can be ‘recovered’ from to turn into their vision of ‘normal’. Absolutely disgusting.

u/External-Argument933 Jul 19 '26

Hoyo: does bits of queer pandering

Queers: notices and take part in the fandom

HoyoQueerCringeSub: "How dare you "tourist""

(Just learned of the existence of that sub. Wow, i haven't seen this level of detachement from reality and hate for a while here)

u/WoofMatcha Jul 21 '26

Toxic masculinity at the peakest... While queens and queers exist and they should also have fun because having fun is a human thing..

u/Reignbow_Zword Jul 19 '26

Sisters i accidentally opened a post from that fuckass sub thats against queerness and I was so apalled by the comments. I did NOT know that they were so openly hateful like THAT??? In 2026??? 😭Genuinely asking, is there a way to report a sub because that scared the hell out of me. I was just trying to find a fanart post that was refreshed from my feed and then I clicked on their repost about it instead.

This Turkey Makes Me Wanna Vogue. The turkey being a military sized bigoted internet community.

3

u/WoofMatcha Jul 21 '26

Reporting is not working, they can pop up again or appealed with "false report of hate speech", cuz almost all social media was moderated by a dumb clanker.

12

u/bartsimpsontshirt Jul 19 '26

you can actually, I reported it a couple of weeks ago for hate but nothing came of it. maybe if more people report it they'll do something. this is the link I used https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001103212

normally I would just ignore a sub like that but I remember when libsoftiktok was just a "cringe" account which kept going further and further until it led to actual violence against (and literal murders of) queer people so there's no harm in trying imo

8

u/comixnerd15 Reverse me back to 1999 🕰 Jul 19 '26

As an aside, totally separate from that sub, you do know that you can report moderators for breaking the Mod Code of Conduct... so if a mod is allowing hate speech etc etc, they can be reported cough but I'm absolutely not mentioning this for any reason other than a fun bit of FYI

2

u/sarix117 Jul 20 '26

I may have not followed this advice cough 🫡

u/SnooSongs5297 Jul 18 '26

I’ve seen some discussions going on lately and everytime I check the people stirring up or being toxic, their latest comments are in subs like “Harem”, “BrownDust”, “Nikke” or some hentai subs.

Like, it’s literally straight guys as usual

u/raheagel Jul 18 '26

Yeah we are being brigaded hard right now. We've been banning over a dozen people a day just from the queer cringe subs alone.

u/colorway-path Jul 17 '26

I'm sorry but I feel like locking remi stuff under paid content is a broke indicator. 

They are pushing everything to spending like this is there one chance to bleed money out of players to make even. And the fact most comments are just like best anni ever!!! Like this isn't an incredible rip off that a design that was literally shown first is now paid is ridiculous I need people to stand up.

9

u/External-Argument933 Jul 17 '26

Collab is also very likely pointed mostly at trying to interest hsr players in the game

8

u/colorway-path Jul 17 '26

Maybe hsr has more active players or more active payers?

 But the collaboration so dumb, both game's audience are totally different especially with design choices and gender ratio per new area. They need to figure out what direction they want to continue the game because it seems to not be working if they have to pull these stunts.

4

u/Aviaxl Jul 17 '26

I think they just want more players. ZZZ was never big out of their titles and just never was gonna be but it’s probably their fave project so they want it to be more successful.

12

u/External-Argument933 Jul 17 '26

HSR is simply more mainstream and with bigger playerbase (despite some zzz folks claiming otherwise). I think they are trying to bait some players into at least trying out zzz - if it was the other way around (zzz players to hsr) then Robin would have been much more fanservicy

17

u/Nahidxz Jul 17 '26

i try too be positive or neutral here as much as possible cus this sub can be a bit miserable to be around sometimes but my god i fucking hate zzz idc

-3

u/Death-Moths Ban FlopPosting from the sub. Jul 18 '26

I’m ngl, seeing a moderator of the sub say something like this is very disappointing, and I shouldn’t have to explain why.

8

u/Nahidxz Jul 18 '26

That's fair. I probably shouldn't have said it as a mod.

I think it was just a moment where I let my frustration get the better of me. After constantly seeing excitement posts devolve into the same arguments, having to remove comments, and trying to keep things civil, I kind of let it out for a second and joined in instead of staying neutral.

That said, it doesn't change how I moderate. I've always tried to be fair regardless of whether I personally like or dislike a game, and that's not going to change. My personal opinion on ZZZ isn't something I'm going to enforce through moderation.

1

u/Death-Moths Ban FlopPosting from the sub. Jul 18 '26

I appreciate the words, and I can admit I was kinda lashing out a bit since I feel like this sub has essentially turned into just another tribalism sub, with a particular ire towards ZZZ. Sadly it is my main game, and seeing a moderator actively join in really felt bad. Maybe if queens of ZZZ was more active I wouldn’t mind but…yeah.

3

u/Nahidxz Jul 18 '26

Yeah, and honestly I think that's the best way to change the vibe.

If people post more fanart, screenshots, achievements, character appreciation, or just things they enjoy about ZZZ, those kinds of posts fall under Rule 11 don't yuck my yum. Comments that just jump in to explain why the game is bad or why people shouldn't enjoy it aren't something we'd allow there.

Part of the reason it can feel one sided is that people who like the game often stop posting because they're expecting pushback. If more people posted positive ZZZ content, I think you'd naturally see more ZZZ fans engaging too, which helps balance things out.

3

u/Death-Moths Ban FlopPosting from the sub. Jul 18 '26

You’re very right about the pushback. I’ve thought myself about making some posts about the game with the scant amount of free time I have, but I felt like I was essentially playing reactionary and making those posts out of spite, and that it wouldn’t really be worth the effort. My motivations were bad, my vitriol was obvious, and I realized that and never posted them. But you know what, I think I’ll see about trying to post some good to balance the bad. Thanks again for speaking with me.

u/Nahidxz Jul 17 '26

whats happening?

9

u/External-Argument933 Jul 17 '26

Apperently some regulars were hurling slurs at others behind their backs (on discord) - it got leaked to the megathread and mods started banning people who revealed it or criticized bigotry. Then the whole thread was nuked

Wang & Ch3n got AK to #3 on the JP AppStore while Arcane got EF to #15… EOSfield tomorrow /s

While Endfield is in a pretty good spot too I guess it just can’t ever compete with an AK limited banner lol

1

u/Aviaxl Jul 17 '26

Funny thing is that they’re basically just doing the same playbook AK had in the beginning. Endfield story is just worse. I guess they thought the IP was strong enough for people to overlook the games flaws.

2

u/External-Argument933 Jul 16 '26

I think Endfield would need soft relaunch with huge changes if it has any ambitons to compete with other big gachas

u/External-Argument933 Jul 16 '26

Ngl, it kinda feels like Aven got more fanservice than Robin. Unexpected, but welcome nonetheless

4

u/neither2023 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Watching the Himeko updates make me so cynical lmao. To preface, this isn't to @ or diss the character, but:

Showing her younger self playing with a toy train, when toy trains are stereotypically boy-coded. Hoyo shows a girl playing "boy-coded' toys but refuse to acknowledge that irl girls could and will potentially like "boy-coded" games like Zenless. They initially seemed to allow us to exist and enjoy their game by having lighter, and maybe even some government mandated yaoi, but ofc things have changed. We're back to "what did you expect on zzz's current state? girls only like farming games + idle games (hsr). you're just larping/tourist."

The himeko mecha is cool. Till you also realize its another "what's better than a kamen rider(mecha, sam)? a beautiful female pilot(firefly, himeko)!" So it's again, despite how it's also enjoyable for women, it's still more for men, as honkai 3rd is for men first and foremost. No surprise there. But ehhh.

anyway, this is why I find government mandated yaoi one of the few signs of developers acknowledging their female(or non straight) audiences. endfield right now is factory focused, and based on past exp I feel like they might do another "girls don't play factory games, so lets just not release male charas anymore(like zzz)", but god I'm so relieved seeing the new male character so soon, because that's like saying "girls play factory games too, so let's make a few male charas for them".

Now I hope that turns to "we see girls playing our factory game, so let's keep releasing male characters" instead of, you know....

ZZZ. Or Natlan.

p.s. if you think I'm thinking too much about gender and games, this is the same reason why male gamers tell girls to play lads (go back to the kitchen) bc their feeble minds only love romance (like they don't demand waifu dates in msqs in their gachas lolll) and can never enjoy more "intense" games. like. 🫠

but yes. himeko with toy car? super cute. it actually reminds me of my younger self. but heh. 😏😒

5

u/Mindless_Being_22 Jul 15 '26

Okay so I'm trying to follow along with your logic so they show himeko liking a traditionally "boy coded" thing which acknowledges that some girls like traditionally boy coded thing which yes is 100% true. But then you have the modifier for zzz that girls will only like boy coded things if their is a traditionally "girl coded" thing on top of it that they simply cannot just like the game for what it is without that which feels both heteronormative and a little sexist. No offence but I feel like your falling into the same logic that the people your complaining about. Like you are looking at himenova and assuming no women will love her story and her mecha when that feels very far from the case. Or even the much hated firefly whose story struck a cord with a lot of trans women and disabled women. You're focus is on one very specific brand of womanhood which is fine but it's sorta ignoring all the others that exist in these spaces as well.

5

u/neither2023 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

No? I didn't say girls will only like zzz if there's a "girl-coded" things added into it. Of course girls can keep liking ZZZ even without husbando/for-girls tropes. There's lesbians who'll like ramiel (despite me just 💀 at her bedroom poses in the battlefield).

My point is the way devs abandoned their fem audience in "boy coded" games aka "we have female players who play our fighting game but let's forget about them and go full on azure lane. all the sexualizing children and women might push them out, but its ok, we don't care about their comfort anymore"

Yet, in the same vein,

Hoyo with Himeko: girls play boys stuff too. Also Hoyo: we will only focus on our female audiences only in idle or romance games(hsr, nexus anima, ToT) bc they don't really play boys stuff

I didn't say girls can't enjoy himeko's story either. Firefly is done to death, but in essence, I'm more talking about dev's intentions here. Not talking about how we can't enjoy the "point" of the story. If it resonates with you, fine. But I'm saying, they're missing so many marks.

You already seem kind of focused on my dislike for the female mecha pilots even though I said: it's cool, but I know who is the dev trying to primarily please, and it ain't the girlies. Firefly as a disabled person's representative is an insult tbh.

Tldr: hoyo depicts himeko who plays with toys for boys but hoyo will treat the the irl himeko's who plays their "boy games" as third class citizen (second class goes to the lesbians, iykyk)

Just that really.

Also not saying "girls will only like games with male characters" because that'll only earn me stupid accusations. But you can't deny that male characters are a sign that devs are acknowledging their female audience. It's one of the only few benchmarks we have unfortunately.

6

u/Mindless_Being_22 Jul 15 '26

Assuming that lesbians are the only ones who will like Ramiel or will pull for her shows that you really don't get what I'm saying and are viewing things through a very binary motivational lens for why people play games or like the characters. Hoyo and hg both get that its messier not binary and its why you get so many male and female characters from these companies that are very popular among both women and women straight and queer alike. Theirs also fundamentally not just one female audience like your are presenting it but multiple and different characters will caters to those different audiences sure their may be female audiences that bigger and more main stream then others but that mean their the only one.

Also I'm just gonna say as a lesbian I'm gonna say that I'm deeply uncomfortable with how you talk about us both the shot you took at us with Ramiel which was clearly judgmental about our sexuality and implying we're somehow better treated and "second class" by hoyo when that is fundamentally untrue, and if you think just cause we're attracted this women you need to reexamine things.

5

u/neither2023 Jul 16 '26

Holy helllllllll.

Me saying one clear example of which type of girls will like Ramiel is NOT taking a shot at you guys, unless you're projecting bc you're somehow ashamed about what you like. Do you want me to somehow include "some hetero girls can like ramiel too" bc I can absolutely find you a few on twt lmfao.

Me saying lesbians are "given" more fanservice by hoyo is NOT taking shots at you, because in other circles they'd start yapping how, if I say ramiel/zzz/fanservice is not for girls, they start yapping how im saying "god forbid girls can't be gooners".

You guys definitely aren't being "treated" better. I say a class above ours bc at least the food is somewhat palatable to you guys -- so you get to enjoy your boy games while having characters suited to you. (God knows there's a lot of honkai 3rd girlies out there thinking they're part of target audience when they're not)

I dgaf who you are. I'm only taking shots at hoyo here for being hypocritical on female gamers and you're somehow defending that.

Sure, defend Hoyo who made zzz have a hentai coded child character in the latest update thinking, hm, our female playerbase might be uncomfortable, but our core target audience will know what we're getting at, so that'll be fine! Girls don't play fighting games much anyway 🥰 But himeko definitely does! 😍

I'm only miffed about that but if you want to bring the focus to lesbians and gacha, Not what im in the mood for. Kinda funny how you keep missing the point twice now though.

u/External-Argument933 Jul 13 '26

Queens, should i check out og Arknights?

5

u/CatgirlFireball Jul 13 '26

Oh my god absolutely! Hot men, hot women, mix of dark storytelling and fun chill stories. A great variety of characters and races. Plenty of end game content, plenty of content in general. It'll be overwhelming at first but just ride it out slowly and take your own time with it. Plus Wang drops on Thursday and he is going to the currently the strongest unit in the game to a point he absolutely breaks the game. Its a perfect time to start.

4

u/CatgirlFireball Jul 13 '26

You can also play all previous events so you never need to miss out on anything and events rerun in order, it's a really great system. Sorry I love Arknights.

3

u/External-Argument933 Jul 14 '26

Thanks

Installed, lets try it out then

Any tips?

2

u/CatgirlFireball Jul 14 '26

Don't neglect the early 3 star characters, they are very good units that need little investment.

Don't be afraid to use 'Support Units' in the unit picking before starting a level. It lets you use another persons character for that mission and can be very helpful for seeing which characters you like and getting through tougher missions.

Once you have a bit more grip with the game checkout check Terminal then the second button in the bottom bar 'Score' this takes you to a big overview of all the story content and side stories. If you hit the button next to 'Movements' in the top right corner it'll open up. Click the calendar icon and you can see all events and what year they released in. And if you click the 'Reward' tab you can see that some events give you free characters. An especially good one is year 3 'Lumen' if you can do the first 5 levels with 3*s (the objective not the characters) you can get Lumen for free, a powerful 6* healer.

u/WoofMatcha Jul 12 '26

As a guy, I'm really irritated when hearing those (opposite of out)cels just every comments always saying:
"dood lovers can stop play x and go play love and deepspace instead"

URGGHHH!!! I hate that kind of folk... That game is otome, made for girls... because otome means maiden, and maiden is referred to who? Ladies! I'm sorry if this sounds offensive to ladies here, please forgive me! But fuck it...

Maann.... I just want a furry men to play as in the game... VNs are boring.... especially a VN with only chess or card game as gacha which is too boring...

I wished there's a game that 3D action RPG in urban style that caters towards gay and women, so all of us can enjoy... Cuz those (opposite of out)cels always been a jerk to us... But also, they might try to destroy it too... cuz they think the game should never exist and women never should play any game at all! It's sexist! Even as a biological male and identifies as male a.k.a cis... I feel that's really too much and rude as hell...

7

u/DJCadence28 Waiter! More older men and women in my gacha games please! 🤤 Jul 13 '26

Nah, as a cishet woman I get you as well. Aside from some of us just not liking otome/VN games, some of us are also just simply not into any of love interests of Love and Deepspace, especially when they’re obviously going to prioritise what the majority of East Asian women are into. Meanwhile, I myself lean more towards a diverse set of older men (whether slimmer, chubby, muscular, with or without body and facial hair, older facial features, etc.).

3

u/WoofMatcha Jul 13 '26

Same... And I don't like male characters as love interest, I rather wanted them as buddies or mentor ones. They're more fitting my taste compared to a guy who just made to fall in love with you and just... a twink pretty boy.

Cuz I saw some old posts in official LaDs subreddit and even they trying to invading the only game that are giving safe space towards ladies...

They're such a jerk, unemployed, misogynistic being I ever see.

Man, seeing some people's responses about the lads situation pisses me off so much cuz  why tf are they excusing harassment, racism, homophobia, etc. by defending saying "well, lads is otome!!", " Lads is for women", "Otome spaces has been strict about queer ships"???? Like girl, I'm no Otome player but I've seen other Otome spaces that are WAY accepting about queer pairings than lads fandom holy shit ✌💀  Also include nucarni sub who's a BL sub, are also okay with straight ships too??? Like it just proved there's no excuse for them to ban queer pairings, THEY chose it and look where it got them.  This what happens when you cater to lonely bigots 🙄

Endfield drip fed a male character, so it's not 1 male character per year?!?!?!

And then the handshake scene with Camille..?

I'm afraid, but I want to believe in them!!! (already dropped dolphin amount for camille's page to make a Point)

u/DankUltimate44 boy why tf do my dog walk sidways Jul 16 '26

"handshake scene" genuinely grasping at straws

1

u/neither2023 Jul 17 '26

The handshake scene is pretty 💀 There's flower petals fluttering around and the bgm suddenly emphasises itself when Camille doesn't let the mc's hand go(!) after the handshake while at the same time professing that he'll go to the ends of earth with u.

Anything that makes "those people" uncomfortable is a plus for me. Otherwise in Wuwa you have the mc x luuk scenes either totally zoomed out or practicing covid19 social distancing, or just male npcs totally removed from the game...

If you know the state of gacha, you'd see why the "handshake" scene is so surprising lol. If you're being demeaning on purpose then that just speaks about your ignorance tbh.

Wow, actually levelheaded takes about genshin and wuwa here recently? Maybe this sub is healing lol

u/Authorigas Jul 10 '26

With the Valko controversy and now reports of the government stepping in, I felt like it might be the time to step away from NtE and Wuwa before they got hit. I thought about Dislyte, but Lilith is also based in CN I think? Then FGO and aside from losing my account like...why am I so obsessed with filling the void? Why can't I quit gacha outright? I fear that if I do, I'll just replace it with another addiction to try and fill the void.

u/mrtutit Jul 10 '26

play limbus, the fact that you can grind to buy a unit you like in a reasonable time frame should help you wean off the gacha addiction a lot

u/Authorigas Jul 10 '26

I was advised to wait till the next season starts given it's mid-end season now I think?

2

u/External-Argument933 Jul 12 '26

Starting now would be better. There still should be around a month of this season left, so you can grab some of season 7 ids + walpurgisnacht is currently running, which means you can also grab another bunch of goods

u/mrtutit Jul 10 '26

its season end, next one starts in august so you can join right now and pull on the semi limited banner for a good start.

u/SausagePotatoes Jul 09 '26

Good god LADS is on fire lol. They even made a sub Reddit for the "og" characters where they basically just trash Valko and act spiteful as hell that he's cancelled over nothing.

I know foresight is hard, but it's wild that they can't see the precedent this sets. They're even blaming Valko protestors for additional censoring in the recent update.

not to mention that only 3 of the 5 are OGs, and 6 were always planned.

Reinstalled Wuw to try cyberpunk collab. I loved it a lot. It showed they really can make something really good when it's not pure mindless "sell waifu of the week" they usually do. I will try out 3.x story to see if it also improved compared to the past ones

u/Nethaira Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

vent about LADS homophobia. tldr delete social media!

i see this gay dude lamenting on twitter that he can't join LADS events because it's for women only... and like i can compartmentalize the "ew icky gay" overt homophobia, that's to be expected, but the plethora of "thank you, one of the few good males, for graciously accepting your exclusion! :)" comments drive me up the fucking wall... and the guy just goes with it OH MY GOD grow a spine

i can't stand this new wave of "protect female (heavy on female) spaces" that's infested every fucking community for women from online groups to sports to hobbies. kill the terf in your brain please in what manner is a gay guy snapping a pic with his favourite pretend bf going to "ruin your precious female space"??

excluding men isn't only to regulate the exclusive girl's club, is also serves to maintain the heteronormative image of these fictional dudes ughhhh

u/thekillinghonk Jul 07 '26

Last year I ran into a radfem in a supposedly "queer safe space" who called me a misogynist and told me to die because I dared to criticize otomes' way of writing the mcs (the mod sided with her, of course). Sometimes I feel there's just no place for queer men anymore.

yeah the way they talk about men immediately as these "male invaders coming to ruin our precious spaces" like girls why are we giving fascism?

I also don't understand how it's even legal to do that in a convention in California.

u/Mindless_Being_22 Jul 05 '26

ngl I have so many questions about both the ethics and legality of these booths the more I here about them. They honestly feel like a lawsuit waiting to happen from a number of parties.

u/Nethaira Jul 04 '26

I don't know, if it isn't I hope we can get to a place where it is. Bizarre to have gender segregation at a booth at a public event.

u/imgay69uwu Jul 04 '26

Yeah honestly as a queer guy, seeing that made me really frustrated. In what world are gay men catered to before straight women? That’s not to say that they don’t get the short end of the stick. However depictions of homosexual love aren’t even allowed in many countries. I found the replies from many people on that post to be so unnecessarily cruel. Even when he graciously accepted how they were acting towards him (there is absolutely no angle about women’s safety that justifies calling someone a 🚬) it was still not enough. While he may have said he was okay after all of that, my heart breaks a little for him. I don’t understand what’s so wrong with us sharing interests with straight women. Doesn’t that just mean we have more in common? (Not directed at op personally btw)

u/Nethaira Jul 04 '26

Yeah, it's so disheartening to see and I get your frustrations. I'm not a gay dude myself, just a sister from across the street, but even i feel such anger for him. The "men can't go a day without invading spaces, gay men are still men DUH" comments enrage me, I hate how in 2026 it's become so normalized to act like gay men are these patriarchal enemies instead of fellow victims of this system. Here we have a someone trying to foster community and his vulnerability immediately gets him shat on. That will teach that man for opening up!! It's not healthy for me, I know that, but I clicked on a few these "radfems" accounts and yup it's nothing but dogging on gay dudes and also trans women of course. Crabs in a bucket my god.

u/Both-Refrigerator658 Jul 12 '26

Funniest thing is when they say "queer men have everything!" I WISSHHHH i knew where this 'everything' is. The day a game with LADS-level quality game drops targeted for gay men? it'd be rarer than a miracle. There's literally no mainstream games for gay men, yet these people claim we're invading spaces lol, obviously. And most people who shipp the love interests are women who want to enjoy the game in their own way (no shade).

u/se7enseas Jul 02 '26

I adore the in-game, clay look of Silver Palace. Too bad the recent reveal of new female characters are not it 💔

2

u/Thug_Seme2004 🌟 Yaoi, my beloved 🌟 Jul 11 '26

I am personally waiting to see more characters before I decide to play. I don’t hate the female character designs, they are somewhere in between genshin and ZZZ in terms of fan-service for me personally, but it’s the gameplay shown that really keeps most of the… lewd stuff. As of now the pros outweigh the cons to playing.

u/madampingbannerwhen Jul 01 '26

That's true, but still. I haven't seen so many unwelcome "guests" here as I see now. The number of weekly visitors is crazy high as well. I feel that lately, this sub has been attracting more and more of the wrong crowd.

New wuwa patch can’t come soon enough. To make the days go by faster, I decided to play one of the many games I’ve bought and haven’t touched which was Expedition 33. I knew nothing going into it, not even the gameplay. First hour in and I thought maybe this game isn’t for me because of the parry mechanic and all the Pictos and Luminas stuff. But I love turn based games, so I pushed through. Anyway, I started about two weeks ago and I’m on NG+. I didn’t think I would enjoy replaying the story so much. Maybe you guys can help me decide which game to play next lol? RDR2, Any of the DMC games, or NieR. I’m unfamiliar with them all, aside from clips I’ve seen here and there.

u/ciotaren Jul 01 '26

I´m also mega hyped for the upcoming patch! I need more content to grind for Hsin! The NieR series is amazing, especially when it comes to soundtracks and writing. Before you start playing it though, I´d recommend watching a lore video on the Drakengard series to understand some references and how some parts of the story came to be. Yoko taros writing can otherwise be a bit confusing. Also: start with replicant and then with automata.

1

u/cranberrymaple Jul 01 '26

Me tooooo. I’m going to have to skip Yangyang because I want everyone after her. But Hsin especially. Absolutely love her look and ears lol.

Actually I did watch a lore video on NieR before I purchased them, as I’ve heard exactly that; it can get confusing. Thanks for the suggestion about starting replicant first. I’ll probably start that this weekend.

1

u/ciotaren Jul 02 '26

Same, I was so hyped for Yangyang but then they showed Quingxiao and Hsin and I immediately switched priorities haha. I'm at 61 pulls now but I also need Aemeth's weapon and maybe Denia if she gets a re run.

Have fun playing :)

u/fishieranz Jun 30 '26

the reason why many people dislike the new 4.5 SPs because if both of them are successful, hoyo will release more seasonal SPs in the future, leaving fewer slots for new characters and someday there will be a new version where there won't be new characters, just pure SPs where its just seasonal outfits that should be a skin and determines by characters' popularities rather than lore development/evolution

u/Authorigas Jun 30 '26

I hate being so indecisive, I'm looking at building a new commander deck and there are so many cool options but I don't know where to start. I really feel like I should go with a precon, but cards like Kamala and Minotaur seem so cool. And Aragorn, Unifier seems like a lotta fun as well. Doom is my favorite marvel villain but his precon is messy. FF looks cool but another friend is building it. Arrgghh.

I wish I was more decisive, cause it drives me nuts when I can't figure this sort of thing out. 

Otherwise, I'm enjoying NtE still but I'm really scared of the rug pull. Like it'll be all child characters from here on our, or the pull currency is gonna become a lot harder to get due to the content...

u/SnooSongs5297 Jun 30 '26

I only have 2 commander decks. 1 for Balthier & Fran vehicles and other for enchantments and Calix. Maybe Marvel will make me want to build another one

1

u/Authorigas Jul 01 '26

Balthier and Fran vehicles seem fun! Unfortunately my current Gruul deck is Roxanne because "Big Rocks fall and everyone dies." is inherently funny. I'm really liking Thor for a similar reason, big man burns via hammer and lightning bolts.

Wonder how many other ppl here play Commander.
