The experience with /mlp/ taught them two things: Those suckers will buy anything and Pandering will only get you more hate. Coming from a fellow citizen of /pone/

hasbro is a kids toys company, they can't pander to identity politics crowd because their "crowd" is under 8 years old. Every cartoon hasbro funds or produces is just a prolonged toy commercial. kids can be brainwashed really easily but the people who consume hasbro merchandise need their parents money, so you need to appeal to the kids without hurting the sensibilities of today's parents.

marvel's "crowd" on the other hand is young adults and edgy teenagers who think they know everything, hence they can be brainwashed without parental obstruction.

..Fuck IDW for that idiotic idea.

Transformers already tainted by faggot lovers like Dave Willis and his gang. Their community is so fucking toxic it's better to let them alone so they can crumble into pieces.

…Being a mecha fan is suffering.

Isn't Gundam still going strong?

Yeah..but just Gundam and most of the time, it's not going to be as great as 08th MS Team or G Gundam,

What are you talking about? Super Robot still thrive in Japan. Their toys sales always high and Banpresto still churning out Super Robot Wars games like there's no tomorrow.

Meanwhile in the US of A people stuck in Transformers phase and Harmony Gold fucked the Macross fans so bad it killed the series in the states.

Name one new Super Robot series since Shin Mazinger. Just one…and Gundams don't count.

Let me rephrase that one new series after SKL and Shin Mazinger.

Who the fuck likes transformers for the romance?

Some of the fans do…though it's usually humans with robots.

Super Robot Wars OG the anime. If you want newer there's new Aquarion.

People who want to fuck Arcee

Wait, there's a new Aquarion? Tell me, does it still punches motherfuckers to the moon?

Yes, it's called Aquarion Logos and it came out in 2015. I only saw the first episode of original Aquarion and Logos is still in my backburner.

Surprised and nervous.
This could mean they either realize pandering is fucking dumb and worthless unless you somehow hit the normalfag sweet spot like Marvel did, or they're planning to unleash the biggest pozload you'll ever see in your lifetime.

Already happened to the Transformers thanks to Bayformer movies. Now everyone and their mother know who Optimus Prime is. Why do you think they make a gay transformers?

Everybody already knew who Optimus Prime is.
Transformers has been one of the most popular toy lines on the planet for decades.

Aren't the IDW comics pozzed?

So Blizzard has finally begun the LGBT pandering. Glad I never got into Overwatch, guess here's to hoping they don't ruin Mei, though she's only good for fapping anyways, so whatever.

I don't even know why they have to pander..not like it would get them more money.

Contrary to popular believe not everyone know who Optimus is. Get your head out from fandom hole and learn about how people work sometimes.

And the worst part about LGBT pandering is they always pick the typical choice. Tomboy? Check. Skinny/flatchested? check. Short hair? Check.

This is why I fucking hate pandering, they always assume that tomboy girls are not interested in men. The colour rainbow is always about the gays, not because it's a natural occurrence in world. Independent women always lesbian or turn lesbian after divorcing their "good for nothing" husband.

It will be great if Hasbro decided to make Rainbow Dash the first pony girl who have relationship with a pony boy. I want to see SJWs and shippers frothing in their mouth. "BUT SHE HAVE RAINBOW HAIR!" "SHE'S A TOMBOY!" "SHE NEVER INTERESTED IN MEN!"

Sadly MLP is more for children. I don't think they going to make a story about serious relationship.

Nigger, Transformer toys have been selling like hotcakes since the cartoon came out.
People have been making jokes and references about Transformers since the cartoon came out.
Even shitty TV shows that make pop culture references like Family Guy or Robot Chicken have been making jokes about Transformers for years.
You're one to be telling others to get their heads out of their asses when you're spouting shit that's straight up false.

Yo nigga you need to be educated about the world. Just because transformers sold 1 or 2 million toys all around the world or there are 3 or 4 million pop culture references on the net or dozens of nerdy writers making pop culture references in their TV shows they still don't make a dent in a world populated by OVER 6 BILLION PEOPLE.

Holla Forums itself and most image board channels are like a huge hugbox for all of us. We flocked here because we love comics and cartoons. Try to bring up comics and cartoons as a topic when you talk with your auntie or grandpa, it's almost impossible.

On the one hand, I don't think it matters. In fact, it's not a big deal and it doesn't affect the game. Also, they didn't put it in the game, but put it in one of their side comics.. Comics which they've ditched in the past because they conflict with the vision they have for the game.

Besides, it's not like they are saying she's some made up gender or sexuality. Homofags have been a thing for centuries, right? It's not like they made a point to say "here's all our gay characters.. So no bitching, because all of these other characters are straight!"

And that is a problem that we're seeing with tumblr mentality hitting comics, games, and cartoons. No one can just be gay or straight.. they have to be a polyromantic demikin quadcoptersexual with gendergaseous presentation tendencies. And every other character needs to be some combination of special snowflake labels too, because no one can just be "normal" or in any way heteronormative. Gender and sexuality are social constructs, according to tumblr, which means no one is anything.. but they totally have to fit into these other arbitrary categories.

Now, where the problem arises, is that Blizzard's decisions dot no exist in a vacuum. They've shown plenty of times before that when they are lightly nudged by a whiny cunt with an overstuffed sense of self importance, they will fold and start covering their female characters, removing content, and grovel at the feet of anyone who even claims to have a vagina.

Blizzard has also shown that they are intimately aware of the behavior of the fandom surrounding Overwatch, as shown by their eagerness to add memes, in-jokes, and references wherever possible.

So, does Tracer being gay matter in any big way? Not really…
Does Blizzard's choice to make Tracer gay represent a potentially worrying trend that may signal future poor decisions and identity politics pandering? I'd say it's very possible, unfortunately.

It'll be the Marvel mistake of listening to tumblr only and not anyone else.

Way to move the goalposts you dumb fucking shit.
Even then, you're still wrong because China (the nation that has like two thirds of the planet's population on its own) was selling knockoffs of Transformers toys all of the time before Michael Bay made his shitty movies.
Just admit you were wrong, it's not a big fucking deal and it's better than stumbling about making yourself look like an ignorant fool while everyone else laughs at you.

Don't lie, you know the Chinese selling knockoff toys, not just transformers but also the entire Hasbro toylines for profit. They are business people not crazy obsessed fans.

Your entire rebuttal to my statement of how Transformers was well known and popular as fuck even before the movies has pretty much been "well, the entire planet doesn't know about it so it's not actually well known".
This shitty logic applies to pretty much everything, including fucking Star Wars (aka one of the most profitable franchises on the entire planet).
No matter how popular something is there are loads of third world countries full of people who will never even hear the name of that particular fad.

Transformers is a well known franchise that was well liked among normalfags even before Bay's movies came out.
You are wrong, deal with it and move on.

Why do giant robots even need romance? Can we just get over our own Earthly "2 gender romance" and not apply it to any other "alien" species when writing fiction?
Especially in this instance when they are supposed to gender less robots.

What about Arcee?

To appease the fujoshit audience who have a gay robot fetish.

The closets Transformers ever got to sex was Beast Wars Airrazor and Tigertron

Gundams not super robot though

God Please, please If you can read this, and I know you can, don't let them to make any pony a canon homo.

Too late

G Gundam and Turn A are considered to be Supers. Low level Super but Super nonetheless.

Lyra and Bon Bon don't count

Toys are mainly for children (comic books have become something for all ages)

You changed my statement to "The entire world don't know about Transformers" when do I even say that? I said Transformers is known amongst the fans but not every person in the world know it. You really love to alter what I said so you can win the argument.

Same as how Super Sentai has been referenced everywhere, or how JoJo has made a cultural impact among Japanese artists. Despite that, both are almost regarded as indie. They undersell, and although JoJo does good in social media, it's not that popular, nowhere near close to stuff like Nartuto or Dragonball at least.

Why are you straight people so extra? Fuck all I want is some gay characters. Just say you're homophobic next time dude. Instead of spouting such high levels of bullshit.

Really, you stupid worthless nigger?
You contradicted yourself within your own post.

Regardless, I will reiterate that Transformers was already extremely well known despite the movies.
You denying this is nonsensical. You can go and search up about the popularity of the Transformers franchise and blow your own retarded little mind with how popular it was before Bay got his explosion obsessed hands on the series.

Go ahead. Do literally one minute of research to see just how full of shit you really are.
Why is it so hard for you to admit you're wrong?

There's like 3 mecha shows each season.

Sure all of them are shit, but they still exist.

What does this even mean?

IBO the new gundam is….alright

I watch gundam either way do eh

To be extra: To exagerate, to be ridiculous.

Exactly..the new ones are mostly shit. Being a Getter/Mazinger fan is suffering I guess.

The problem is they (publishers, writers) keep shoving the idea that certain characters that's supposed to be neutral or straight suddenly turn gay just to cater to you fucks. And the worst part they took the worst stereotype, either the gay person is total dyke or super tomboy. Not all tomboy or dyke looking women are gay y'know.

That's your only insult word?Nigger? Create better insult next time you fishfucking twatgobbler.

The reason why Bayformers 3 was big because Bay use China as a setting and China got a nationalistic hard on toward their own land. They gobbled Avatar as well because some areas were based on real Chinese places.

And yes, I already did my research. You live in a fucking bubble too much if you don't understand that not everyone know what Transformer is. Sure you can go to your beloved Transformers forum and circlekjerking about Optimus or Hot Rod or Fuzzy Carpet or whatever and believe that the world is behind you all along. But no, that's not the case.

You sounds like Chris Chan. You believe that Sonic is the center of the world and everyone knew about it. You expect meeting a stranger and can start a conversation immediately about your Transformers love. I suggest you try to do that and see how it ended.

Would you prefer if Mercy was gay then? It's a game about sci-fi heroes. By your logic, they would have made Zarya into a lesbian. Tracer is just a witty british girl, she's kinda femenine too. Hell you're the one saying Tracer is a dyke for having short hair.

Why not introduce a new character then? Those Overwatch folks are great at doing that. And don't make him or her a stereotype.

Overwatch just came out last year and they're still detailing the characters. It's not like those times when a company takes a character with tons of backstory and years of existence and decides to turn then gay. Tracer isn't even a year old yet. And who knows, they could introduce more characters still, some of them could be gay.

And I forgot to complete my sentence. Under the context of Overwatch, all characters are some sort of powered super human, fighting all the time. Of course you could say Tracer is a tomboy, she's a crimefighter. She fights and trains all the time. Hell the only female Overwatch hero that isn't tomboy-ish is D.VA and Mercy, and D.VA is a little too young to be having girlfriends or something, you could do it, but Tracer is just much better for it. She's mature, she has experience, it just makes sense.

hasbro's consumers are children not manchildren

It was the fourth one.

They pretty much already fleshing out most of their characters before it even released. And their decision to make her gay is less about maturity and experience since all Overwatch grunts are well trained heroes. But because she fit a certain stereotype. A very tired stereotype.

Ah yeah my bad. The 4th.

Why do you want to see gay characters? Is it so important to you? Or is it just an excuse to go to some porn thread and be satisfied that, "its's cannon". Fuck off, you degenerate.

You know what pisses me off? This year was the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, now you would THINK that Hasbro would be smart enough and give us more updated BW characters, I mean we already got Rattrap, Rhinox and Waspinator from the generations line from two years ago. Would other characters get that same treatment?

Nope! All we got was a bunch of shitty Botcon exclusives, which were repaints of Combiner Wars figures and that's it!

Takara on the other hand actually listened to the fans for once and gave us a fantastic Masterpiece Optimus Primal, a figure that no doubt Hasbro will retool and sell for a cheaper price as a Toys R Us exclusive sometime next year.

And they're also giving us a MP Cheetor a figure nobody saw coming! And what does Hasbro give us? Yet another gimmicky toyline with G1 characters.

Also I hate the fact that now everybody has to be a goddamn headmaster, Megatron, Optimus, Astrotrain, Kup, Blurr etc. Seriously what happened to the generations line? The line that was meant to celebrate the brand without tacked on gimmicks?

Takara Tomy always bring more to the table even when no one asking. I collected several of their Tomica line of model cars. They are the same size as Hot Wheels and yet they are more detailed in paint job, they make the front lamp separated from the body and we can even open the doors. Japanese are nuts about miniature stuff.

Is it important? Yes. Representation matters more that you think friend.

Go back to Tumblr fag.

Well don't get angry next time I call you a homophone. I hate when assholes here pretend to be on the side of gays. You can't bullshit me anons. You can't even accept a few gay characters? And god forgive we put a transgender character as well. Wew.

Well actually, lesbians have not been a thing until recently and numerous government studies that were highly suppressed on completion found that a crippling majority of them are depressed and overweight. So no, lesbians are not a natural thing.

Media representation to the point of over-representation, leading them to think there's much more of them than there actually are, emboldening them to lobby "it's illegal to refuse to agree with us" rulings through the courts and to form online mob witchhunts of those saying or thinking politically incorrect things, leading to backlash, leading to Vice President Mike Pence.

Mike Pence is not gonna kill all the gays jeez. You want me to be scared? Then go full Hitler, you can't scare me with a dumb republican coward.

nude art modeling is canon?

Besides, Trump is neutral on LGBT issues isn't he? And teh people didn't elect Trump because of Pence, if anything his voter base disliked him when he was picked, since he seems and is a cuckservative.

Mother fucker why are you even here? This isn't Reddit or Tumblr when you can talk at great lengths about pointless bullshit.I personally just post here because I'm bored.

Also if you're just gonna label anything you dislike as racist/sexist/homophobic then congrats, you've lost whatever argument you wanted to make by default.

Technically yes but does it really mean anything if the characters are nearly always naked?

Oh great you're not an homophone, so you don't mind if I were to make some demands. Like nationwide marriage equality, adoption rights and media representation? Or is that too much? Oh yes I forgot, you're not a homophone, you're okay with gays but only as long as we live in the darkness and never bother the straights with our silly, impossible demands.

Yes just keep assuming shit because your argument has fuck all to stand on.

Enjoy eights years of Trump.

There are studies linking poor diet and excess body fat with all kinds of mood disorders. Fascinating if true.

I'm not even mad bro. You're the one that refuses to accept that y'know, you hate gays and don't wanna admit it. I wouldn't even be angry, i'll rather have a honest homophobe that a liar or a hypocritical ally.

Homos spread disease and corrupt children. I'm not scared of them, I want them BEHIND THE WALL MR TRUMP!!!

As if you spergs wouldn't corrupt children too, please…

Hey Holla Forums

I would like to see these studies, they sound interesting.

Of course the pone thread would have a literal shitdicker posting

Report to Gep, they usually act fast

...

Don't you mean indefinite hiatus?

I wanted to see the second season of GI Joe Renegades.

Not Hasbro

Lesbo ponies soon

I just wish he didn't get such a rough end with Hortense. He got cucked hard.

...

Such as…

..Pick one.

Pick one

I'm sick of the narcissistic and dishonest attitude that the community has. No fag will never be content with what they demand because they live in a unfulfilling lifestyle where they only cum in shit-encrusted intestines. The fact that your community is pushing for pansexual genderfluid media representation is concrete proof of this.

Marriage and adoption "rights" never made you content and media representation never will.

Actually, They should.

I thought Dialtone and the medic guy got married or some shit. But no one cared… because they were Dialtone and the medic guy. And it was years ago, when this identity politics didn't matter and people just did stuff for the hell of it.


Quite trying to be logical with Transformers. They're not robots that happen to act like people, they're people who happen to be robots.

So…Go-Bots but way better?

She drank the koolaid after she lost her job at hasbro, I wish she finished the medusa movie instead of going full retard.

But Medusa got cancelled

Really? Fuck, I wanted a medusa din du noffing character.

Removed from their schedule at least
