  • I had to pause the game because I was laughing too hard to play when this happened.

    Important to note that immediately after that cutscene, you massacre your way through dozens of luchadores while “you’re the best” by Joe Esposito plays.

    Though to be fair, saints row was always a game that set the bar of ridiculousness very high, then one upped itself in the next game, and it was gonna be pretty tough after defusing a launched nuke while riding it, then smashing through the white house to land at the desk. Which is fine, by the way, because you’re already the president. And the matrix stuff but we don’t talk about that as much.


  • I regret to inform you that this won’t change most of their minds. They already have the right wing talking heads telling them trans people are mentally ill, they can’t imagine wanting to cut their nuts off, therefore anyone that does must be mentally ill and that slots right into their preconceived beliefs perfectly.

    I’d say your best shot to maybe make them understand is “do you wake up and choose to be a man/woman? Neither do I”

    It’s even funnier when the topic is being gay because you will get a few that say they DO wake up and choose to be straight. Like buddy, I have news for you. (Though those ones are sad because they’re denying who they are due to external pressures, but at the very least they should be somewhat empathetic)



  • Sure, burbclaves might be ridiculous, along with the idea of a mob-boss pizza owner having too much power, but in-universe these things were treated seriously.

    That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s meant to be serious. There’s a movie about gangs deciding beefs over Dancing Dance Revolution matches to the death while wearing futurepunk stuff like moon boots and the whole thing is delivered straight, but it’s clearly not meant to be taken seriously by the viewer.
