    Again, another screenshot taken out of context. I hated her when I said that, still do tbf, and did not want to be friends no more, which is why I was on the verge of kicking her out of the server before things cooled down, and I knew that she had a boyfriend that she loved more than literally anything, so out of anger I wished that the thing she loved most came crashing down.

    I said she was ungrateful because literally out of the kindness of my own heart I wrote a huge fecken essay for her, and this was literally 2 months ago, and it got the highest mark in the class, and I got no thanks at all, other than being begrudged by her every waking moment for no reason whatsoever. I liked her as a friend, and there is nothing weird about that, but if you seriously think that I’m weird enough to want to date her then you’re out of your mind!

    Like I said, I act weird around everyone, just today I was fucking around with the fake Grindr account I made for my friend, lbh I’m the last person who wants dick pics from middle aged men on the internet, but it was my intretation of humour, so if you’re gonna stop being a pussy over getting kicked out of my server then just stop ✋⛔️

    Little bit of a P.S. did you or did you not get banned once for making...inappropriate comments about Clementine and Marlon’s ass? Sure, so did I, but you have to understand that they are the exact same age as me, give or take a few months, so why can you make jokes like that but I can’t? Because you’re so high and mighty? Dude just piss off, I honestly don’t care what you think, just leave me alone.

  • Clem looking like Marianna's sister/a nice golden brown.

    Makes me wonder if Clem discovered the only working tanning bed in the apocalypse between season 2 and 3.

  • Thats a good point with Selina's model being changed, I found that to be really strange as it was pretty much a new character. However for some reason she relates to it walking dead and it seems like the obvious thing to say was Selina was changed.

    Also its weird to take what she says too seriously when she denies how Kate was originally some young very white girl in ANF and said that it was "not real" implying it was fake, then saying it was due to the story being rewritten, but she in the past has said many times that she "had no idea what was going on with the ANF team" so you know...oof.

    What context are you guys hoping to get across here? Clearly you're both trying to expose each other as slanderers and repulsive to the community otherwise you would've taken this to PMs already. If you want someone on the outside to chime in PM someone you trust, but making this public with passive aggression, insults and accusations we can't really appreciate is only making yourself look bad and the bad blood between you two seem childish. This thread isn't the place for this.

  • She owned up to it and the accusations turned out to be a misunderstanding. Glad this all cleared up nicely.

    True, but this isn't the first time, if I recall correctly, that she has spread false information and has either exaggerated info or misled people based on falsehoods. I get her mentality after being screwed by Telltale, but now she's just out for blood and jumping at any opportunity to shit on them, often times in a very immature way. And all of it seems to be to get publicity for herself. Again, I feel bad for her and the rest of the staff for what happened, and she has done a great job in trying to get other employees new jobs, but now it just seems like she's out there for her own personal gain.

    Yes, we Hispanics actually have "English/Israel names" quite often (one of my grandfathers is from Spain and he's a David, and one of my uncles is Brazilian and he's a Daniel). And some of use have freckles and light-colored eyes and are fluent in English if we're American. Crazy!

    Apparently, yeah. So they just gave her traditionally English/Israel names because...well, David also has one. I still like the idea of her being white/non-Hispanic and wholeheartedly marrying into a Cuban family though.

  • Actually... I don't think many people liked her ANF look. Looked like some plastic mannequin/robot. Just hecking unrealistic I say.

  • I think a lot of people just plain didn't like how ANF looked as a whole, and that goes for most of the characters, male and female.

  • Well then “many” people need to go get their eyes checked because ANF Clementine looked perfect. Yeah, her looking like a barbie doll was out of place for the zombie apocalypse, and her face was very glossy at times, but that was nothing a few speckles of dirt and mud couldn’t have fixed.

  • Yeah shes been doing this for a while now, taking something and turning it controversial even if it isnt true or she greatly over exaggerates what shes talking about. Feels like she is doing these type of things because it gives her attention.

  • It seems to be working though. We're talking about it now, she's been at panels here and abroad discussing this stuff, she's done interviews, she's now a vocal advocate for unionization, it feels like she's constantly been in the spotlight. It wouldn't be so bad if, like I said, she wasn't spreading false information and coming off as self-aggrandizing.

  • gonna be real, I liked that we played as 11 year old Clem in season 2. We weren't in control anymore, and we got more of an outsiders perspective on choices. Then I got to watch some white pretend he was Spanish terribly. That went well.

    Except Holly and Bloody Mary. And in the walking dead, you have to be lean and fit to survive. A lot of people over 40 or 50 just don’t make it. Which is why Kenny, Alvin, Carver, Walter, Joan, and probably Clint were up and about.

  • Honestly given that the people we mocked and cursed in Kevin's upper management for crushing creativity were the ones they had to work under, I'll give her a pass for spitting on Telltale's corpse (it seems like the examples she gave in this instance were from before Pete's takeover of CEO aside from maybe TEW). I've done stuff like that when I was resentful and spiteful in the past too, not going to lie. Sometimes I just assumed the worst in all of their actions just because I thought they were completely despicable. That might not be her case though, and I don't recall her history of doing stuff like this admittedly.

    Kate's eyes were a faint moss green if that's what you mean, but okay.

  • Here in Northern VA, we have tons of Salvadorians. We're basically New El Salvador. So with that, I agree with you.

    Funny thing now that I think about it, I know quite a few Ricans who are very fair skinned and can pass as white. If you call them white though, they will cuss you out in fluent Spanish and English. lol I also know several Brazilians, Dominicans, and a couple Panamanians who you'd think were black until you hear them talk to their family on the phone in their native tongue. Then there is my sister-in-law who is Mexican but constantly gets mistaken for being Pilipino or Middle Eastern.

    Hispanics are just an amazing assortment of colors. It's amazing at times the ones I run into or find out aren't black or white. You gotta love the human kaleidoscope.

  • Hollywood objectifying people?! Noooooo!!!!!

  • Every project in every company ever goes through upper-management. This was just one of those things. Upper-management, as toxic as it might have been, just didn't like the character designs the devs came up with. This isn't nearly as bad as the terrible work environment forced upon the employees.

    This is hardly something to complain about, and Emily Buck just wanted to find something else to complain about -- yes, she is rightful to hate TT for the toxicity in that company, but this is a non-issue to complain about. This complaint is something that is so fucking contrite it doesn't matter -- honestly, good on upper-management for making some of the characters more...appealing. It seems to me the "inclusive" devs wanted to create fat-lesbian-female characters just for the hell of it, not because it compliments the character in any way.

    It's forced diversity, which is something I am diametrically opposed to. You want to add a gay character to your story? That's fine, as long as they have a personality (aside from being gay), and are actually interesting -- don't add a gay character simply for brownie points. Create a gay character because they have something to add to the story -- another problem huge problem is when there are people who don't like that certain (gay) character, a very vocal minority of people will very likely freak out and call you homophobic just because you don't find the character interesting.

  • You've definitely hit on a fantastic point/problem I have with games these days. It can be summarized in a simple phrase: "Don't make a gay character, make a character who is gay."

    The phrase focuses on creating character content that isn't focused around a single issue. Which all amazing characters I've seen and/or read in books have.

    Back on topic: I like better looking people in my game. If I didn't, I'd go to my local Walmart.
