  1. Its a weird chicken/egg thing with this. As @Spork3245 kinda mentioned,when you think about Indian stereotype you think of Apu. I honestly cant remember if the Simpson created this stereotype or just popularized.
  2. Agreed,everytime they have her on its race for her to see how much bull shit she can spout before the segment ends. She is simply not interested in a debate at all.
  3. If he had done some jive talking or yes'a sir, yes'a sir he would got eaten alive by critics,Apu"s voice is at that level.
  4. Thats the problem that people have , the voice alone is very stereotypical and pretty racist.
  5. Ill happily concede the left/right portion of my argument,honestly it was just used as example of why I dont like the moral idea as frame work to remove Apu stereotypes. I ll have to remind my Korean parents of their new born white son. Edit: On a side note it is entirely possible to have a civil conversation /debate without getting up in arms or bringing up my race in to it,considering I did nothing to antagonize you. I assume you understand the cheap seater comment wasnt a dig,it was to just to clarify my position.
  6. Never once did I even elude that the joke was ok. Ill explain it once more for the cheap seats. By letting anyone on the Left decide what is and isnt moral gives anyone on the Right the option to decide what is and isnt moral. That to me is more terrifying then some shity racial joke that can be ignored by simply changing the channel. Using moral justification to remove things we disagree with isnt a stick to be swung like a weapon , its an A bomb where both sides have the arming codes, and its race to see who can enter it first.
  7. It kinda weird how some racism is completely overlooked in america. I can remember when some one called me Oriental to my wife a few years back,I thought she was gonna go nuclear. Oddly enough it doesnt really bother me that much. I think SE Asians and Asians in general get a lot of under the table racism thats over looked.
  8. I understand fully what people are trying to and I know they mean well but I can see the other side of the coin. I dont like it when the upright moral brigade decides what is and isnt morally right for everyone .For now the ball is on the Left side of the court when come it comes to moral outrage( I dont mean that in a disrespectful way ) and we have seen what happens when the Right has control and I dont want another Jesse Helms deciding whats moral. I believe we have as much moral responsibility to make sure Apu is as least racist as possible as a Church Pastor as has the moral responsibility to make sure a gay night club doesnt open up the community. Its exactly none.
  9. I agree with all of this I gotta disagree with all of this. Because there is a simpler solution , just dont watch it if it offends you. I fuckin hate slippery slope arguments but it feels like thats were headed, if some one wants to watch Apu,fuck it let em,and if I wanna go to the Mapplethorpe exhibit I should have to worry thats gonna disappear because it offends some one. Just as aside I am not directly comparing Apu to the Mapplethorpe collection
  10. You can get used to it but you really never stop shaking your head at it Riding horse Hold L1 to open Satchel,R1 to cycle thru each satchel,use L3 to cycle to item,release L1 to use item and in some cases releasing L1 wont actually use the item if the game decides your moving to fast but you never get a pop up that says why the item wasnt used. My personnel favorites are Hold button for 3 seconds to open drawer,Hold button for 3 seconds to search drawer,Hold button for 3 seconds to take each item. RPG games solved this issue long ago by have text box pop up with the items in the drawer and having the player choose the items they want. No running in camp. The game removing your load out constantly for some unknown reason. Finish a story quest, see a pristine animal run by, hop off the horse,have to grab bow from horse even though not 2 seconds before i finished the story quest it was on my back.
  11. Ive had a fishing pole since 20 mins after I arrived at the first camp, I "borrowed" from a guy down by the river. I couldnt buy bait at the general store because its locked out. Its not game breaking its just a wierd choice by R*
  12. Dont take this the wrong way but giving your opinion on a game isnt crapping on anyone,people take this shit way to serious.
  13. If I remember right one reviewer said it was around the 10-12 hour mark before the story really took off.
  14. Culled Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn by Culled Sludge/Grind Hate Eternal Upon Desolate Sands by Hate Eternal Florida Death Glacial Tomb Glacial Tomb by Glacial Tomb Death mostly, sometimes there is sludge and some prog elements. Imperialist Cipher (Black Metal) by IMPERIALIST (US) Sci fi Black Shouldnt work but it does
  15. Also just finished a nice grilled cheese with 2 kraft slices and some fresh sliced salty ham.
