Starfield’s hilariously scary looking ESG NPCs LOL

Wow, this looks hilariously BAD npc-wise😂. Why are they so obsessed with making us women ugly in video games now? I would’ve thought that that was the opposite of empowering🙄. Looks like PS1 graphics😂. I was on ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ on my PS2 today (playing the PS1 version on the PS2). Yes the graphics are horribly outdated but the npcs look SO MUCH BETTER than this🤣

I watched a streamer play this game for a few hours and it seems to me that for some weird reason, in this fantasy world, mostly Asian women work in space and females occupy most of the jobs in the space industry.  It just looks weird but the rest of the game seems pretty good.  It does remind me a lot of The Outer Worlds.

I feel you are over thinking it.  I believe it’s just more about being diverse and inclusive and all that other nonsense so they just put women all over the place.  I think the “Asian” thing is just incidental in this case.

Most Anime/Manga have mostly Asian folks in them because as we all know those art forms originate in Japan.  So I think it’s just natural they would make their fantasy worlds be similar to what they see around them.  Nothing wrong there that’s normal 100%.

Now Firefly is a totally different thing and it DOES elude to some of what you are saying which is politically interesting because that came from mega leftist Joss Whedon.  But I am not sure it was diabolical either.  It’s simply a future where the Chinese won and the state seems to have become tyrannical (imagine that) and as such the Firefly crew roams space because the government is again tyrannical.  That’s the entire thing with River.  The state was trying to make a bio-weapon out of her essentially.  So while it does say, “hey look the Chinese won” it simultaneously says “hey look they won and now it sucks”.  That’s my personal interpretation.

Now let’s be honest, and to your point, if they remade Firefly today (please Lord no) it would still be that China won but it would go on endlessly how awesome that is because the West was so evil and terrible.  The crew of the Firefly (which would be comprised mostly of disabled devoutly atheist trans-lesbian drag queens) would woosh off from planet to planet stomping out the insidious threat of white supremacy (which somehow would still exist).

Agreed, the population of space is odd but who cares really?  Game seems good and even at first release appears very polished.  I saw someone crash once within several hours of gameplay and it was the only “bug” I detected.    I want to play it but I am not going to fork over $70 for it.  I will wait for patching and a sale but that’s just me.

Clearly GiggaVega is right.  The game NPCs look dumb as hell.  I am not sure if they were pandering so much as saying if people are going to care about it we will make it so obviously stupid it just ends up being a joke.   Either way, game looks cool and I will end up playing it at some point.

Now, I give Firefly as pass on the China thing because it was 20+ years ago and at the time a version of the future where China wins was a fun thought experiment but probably not political.  Especially since they showed that the government turned out to be tyrannical, controlling and abusive making the entire show a love letter to personal freedom (in my opinion).

“Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don’t care, I’m still free,
You can’t take the sky from me.”

“But that’s how long I’ve been thinking this was their plan.”

That plan of selling out America which ends up in subverting it is far older than 20yrs.    Functionally that went in motion in 1994 when Bill Clinton signed NAFTA.  It was at that point and after subsequent legislation over the decades that everything got made someplace else so as to take advantage of the slave labor and nonexistent regulation in other countries.  This is a situation that spirals out of control.  Sure, at first your stuff is cheaper.  But then jobs dry up and wages fall so you make less and then you HAVE to buy the cheaper stuff.  Which encourages more cheaper goods and so on.  Add an intentionally porous border and wages are nil as Americans are trying to compete for jobs with slave labor abroad and at home.  The whole $15 wage thing is a joke and is fodder for dingdongs. The minimum wage does not apply to illegals functionally and neither does $15 an hour.  So maybe the 2 Americans at a place get part time work for $15 an hour while all the Mexicans and South Americans with no citizenship get near squat.  ANY TIME an establishment politician says they are doing something out of compassion they are lying and mean the exact opposite.

Be suspect of anyone offering utopia if you just do as they say, as it is not something anyone can deliver and the offer historically ends up in only enslavement and death.

Can’t spell Spaz without the Az. Everyone has a POV. When Punk rock rebelled against authority, they screamed and they yelled. I find too many people are in a daze like zombies, numb and sleepwalking into going with the flow that is against their nature. I admire some of the radical men of action who really resist the conditioning and break the conditioning. This grooming by BlackRock, Larry Fink and ESG and DEI and Disney to get kids to accept constant states of kink is wrong to real men.

It is more in our nature to be reserved and to “keep calm and carry on,” but it gets to the point where you have simply been conditioned to stand down instead of stand up for yourselves and your people. Clearly, Az’s point was not only made but went viral and Az has some excellent enemies like Hasan, the rich prissy boy who takes Katzenberg money and ducks fights with Sam Hyde after posing as some kind of fighter or fitness model online.

Even the name Starfield, was hacked from a Christian band. I liked one song of theirs called Filled With Your Glory.

Everyone has their own opinion though, and I really do like GiggaVega’s channel and videos: https://www.youtube.com/@GiggaVega
