Doug TenNaple salt - It's about ethics in pronouns

[BadaBadaBoom]

Found a salty af article on The AV Club. They even quote 9volt:

Uh oh, dangerous thoughts, better break out the name calling to silence these violent differing opinions.

It's hilarious among other things how TenNaple throws their passive-aggresive bullshit right back at them and they fail to see the irony at all at getting mad at him. "Look he's retweeting stuff that agrees with him! He thinks his opinions are better than ours! That MONSTER."

This is news to these people? TenNapel's always been a pretty hardcore Christian.

Earthworm Jim is an example of doing "random access humor" RIGHT. Yeah, game series never made into 3-D well, but anyone who didn't find something to laugh at in the 2-D games is either lying or a soulless automaton.

Also, this.
(Sue me, I'm a longtime fan of TenNapel's work)

HASN'T AGED WELL?

*after a half hour of laughing my ass off later*

EWJ has gameplay flaws (well no shit, Yoshi's fucking Island has gameplay flaws), but the art is great and the animation is superb even by today's vidya standards. Guess what Doug contributed to the game?

Now guess what's more important to kotaku's bag of rainbow skittle bloggers, quality in a videogame, or identity politics and postmodernist spazzery? Yeah...

earthworm jim owns bones but even if it didn't, what have "9 Volt" and the gang ever produced? nothing worthwhile or notable, that's for sure.



noticing the obvious = low blow, apparently

I doubt he was even trying to be offensive. He just saw a dude and called him he, like he is. If I saw that same dude, I'd just assume it was a dude with pink hair.

If anything, assuming somebody with pink hair is a woman who wears eyeliner would just reinforce gender stereotypes. And who's to say that Heather can only be a girl's name? I've seen guys named Shannon.

oh come on now, the guy's name is transgamerthink. Of course Doug did it on purpose

 

[TiggerNits]

How's a guy get named ten nipples anyhow?

 

[soryu]

Suddenly... genitals indicate gender. Can they make up their mind?

Or he just realized they were an obvious trender and decided to take the piss out of them.

"Oh yeah that'll show him!"

 

[Tanner Glass]

Or he just realized they were an obvious trender and decided to take the piss out of them.

An obvious trender that wrote an article that's basically "This game sucks and I'm glad the franchise is dead" and didn't talk to anyone who created it.

 

[The Nameless One]

"Oh yeah that'll show him!"

It's the CWC playbook of getting back at people you no longer like.

Also, SJWs get triggered by art portraying characters in a way they don't like (see Dream Daddy salt thread, etc.), so they assume everyone does.

Just pointing out that the ultimate villain of Earthworm Jim 3D was the evil cross-dressing part of Jim's psyche and that he had to gather his "lost marbles" to stop them from taking over his subconscious.

 

[BubbleButt]

Remember when games journalists cared more about games than they did penises and vaginas?

'Cause I don't anymore.

I was curious at how this was presented and.. . That intro dialog sure is something. You'd think at least one of the people screaming at him about trans stuff would've brought this up.

No, it means that they're a hermaphrodite.

 

[c-no]

No, it means that they're a hermaphrodite.

The difference between sex and gender to some of these people is either flip-flopped, suiting them when convenient or they just don't really know. That said, nothing's preventing the fact that Earthworm Jim is a fictional character who would be bound by cartoon laws and not real life laws.

 

[Dysnomia]

"He misgendered himself".

I'm dying!

His name is actually Doug "a mass grave for trannies" TenNaple.
