Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

That’s where they got the name from, yup.

They edit it to age them up to be technically legal. C’mon, don’t play stupid.

There aren’t even correct anymore. Japan changed their national age of consent to 16, and it was functionally never as low as 13 because each prefecture had it set at 16 before that. The old, national age of consent was so no prefecture could ever go below that age.

Not 13 any more. It’s officially 16 now, and that old age of 13 never applied to anyone because every prefecture had a prefectural age of consent set at 16, and the old, national age of consent WAS 13 so no prefecture could go below that. There was NO WHERE in Japan where it was actually legal to have sex with a 13 year old because no prefecture allowed it.

Get a new talking point.

Yeah, that scene that the game cuts away from and doesn’t show you. Yup, that’s totes the same thing.

Japanese make game with sexual content that sexualizes minors. You left that part out.

Right? They’re still using floppy disks and fax machines.

Thing is, it made sense until Twitter got sold to a capricious billionaire. Twitter was very stable and their rules didn’t change much before then. The APIs made them an easy way to send out a lot of info in a popular, easily to access way. It worked well as a system for both government agencies and citizens, until Elon decided to stick his dick in it.

No, they haven’t. NERV is running its own Mastodon server, but that’s not run by any government agency and is a private company.

The different prefectures are still weighing options.

And their writing has, very unfortunately, really fallen off. Just compare Saren as a villain to, say Corypheus, or whoever that completely forgettable dude was in Anthem. Even in Andromeda, all the characters felt kinda one-note or like ME characters with the serial numbers filled off.

Yeah, that’s called a “hook,” not “click bait.” A hook is meant to, like the name suggests, hook you in. Click bait is something of low value designed just to make you click on it so you look at at ads it’s trying to feed you.

It’s the difference between “childish” and “childlike.” One is good, the other is not.

Yeah, but NERV isn’t run by the government. It’s a service run by a private company.

I swear, the word “clickbait” has completely lost its meaning, with the way folks throw it around like they do.

They’ve been on Mastodon for a while - since 2017. That likely made it easier for them to decide to switch over completely.

It’s the second largest market after the US, but Elon cares so little about it that half the new things since they rebranded haven’t even been translated - my Twitter is in Japanese, and the new “repost” is in English, as are all the descriptions in settings.

It’s going to take a while, but they’re going to lose a lot of the Jp market at this rate.
