Anyone remember this show?
Probably better Vampire the Masquerade than Bloodlines 2.
I've recently went through all my oWoD pdfs - I still have no clue why they're KINDRED of the East when everything about them (thousand hells, relationship with yama kings and mortals, the not!vampiric powers, and the general "let us remind you that they're not really vampires" approach) would make a lot more sense if they were a part of Wraith* lineup.Also Roguey it's not exactly racist to call a Kuei-jin a demon, that's more or less literally what they are, at least partly:

Ok? I only said it's about language policing, and it is, not about which side it is on.While searching for pronoun usage, I came by this very delicious satirical essay on language policing from 1985 - http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html
It sounds like it could've been written today.
That essay by Douglas Hofstadter is a satire attacking those who resisted feminist demands to change the English language by removing gendered pronouns. I'm certain that someone adopting the same tactic today would be condemned as a vicious racist, regardless of his intentions.
Fedora Master Rahdulan more likely Demon Shintai
Kindred of the East said:The Demon Shintai allows a Kuei-jin to manifest his Inner Demon, transforming his flesh to resemble the servants of Yomi Wan
And Yomi Wan being the Eastern Hell, its demons are mainly of the hentai variety. More dots in the Discipline does nothing but boost some stats and allow you to grow more demonic limbs n' shit:

Which makes it even worse, since all this "we're not vampires, in fact we're better than you'll ever be, silly, silly cainite" is pretentious even by WoD standards.I think that's just using them as equivalent to Kindred for convenience because, as you said, Cathayans themselves deny any familiarity.
I'm more of a Dark Ages sucker.

*still the best game of oWoD
It's also likely intentionally amusing that like many lefties, she goes hard into being sexist and racist when mad.
But was she a SJW-type leftist? She's like old-school (well, now they seem to be old-school) guerillafags who keeps AK-47 under the bed and believe that the Zapatista Army did nuthing wreng. Language police wasn't that important among leftists back then.
The buildings are good because of atmosphere, not because of what’s usually called level design. They’re quite simple, repetitive, and there’s not much to do in them.
Compared to modern games little is repetivie in Bloodlines and all interior maps are unique. But there are a lot of issues like they not fitting in the building from the outside and similar!

It still isn't. Liberals are the ones obsessed with language-policing, not leftists. (Although to be fair there are leftists who have been infected with that mind virus as well.)
(The confusion is understandable. Because "socialist," "Communist," or even "social democrat" were not acceptable for use in polite company in the US, everyone to the left of Dwight Eisenhower was dubbed "liberal," with a qualifier "progressive" applied to those a bit more to the left. In actual fact "liberals" included a whole bunch of different groups that really didn't have much in common at all. Nobody outside the US would even think of plonking Damsel into the same category as, say, Hillary Clinton.)
Eh, the language police have infested a lot of the leftist movements you're talking about. Not necessarily becoming dominant, but they at least have a present.

True, we must be ever vigilant against the stealthy infiltration of liberalism into our midst.

sam harris is a racist nitwit however

I'd absolutely love if they do sort of "podcasts" you can listen to in game (just because it's been 15 yeas and radio's kind of dying...), that's exactly like Joe Rogan chatting with Alex Jones.They should ask Alex Jones to eb the lead writer
I seriously wonder here.
you are turned to a vampire. A *vampire*. A blood-sucking, mind-controlling vampire. You just found out that the supernatural is real and there is a whole underworld that operates the hierarchy of this state and keeps it hidden from everyone. Not only that, but you are being hunted by creatures of darkness to whom you are at best a useful pawn and at worst food.
And the first thing you must choose is pronouns.
I love how these YouTube channels centered around "GAMING OUTRAGE" latch onto Bloodlines 2's possibility of being an SJW deathpit as though they actually give a shit.
I do hope it's like this. The newer WoD (Chronicles also) are infested with SJWs, the newer they get. It gets harder to read every time.I love how these YouTube channels centered around "GAMING OUTRAGE" latch onto Bloodlines 2's possibility of being an SJW deathpit as though they actually give a shit.
It's called clever marketing. Those videos wouldn't be made if there were no comments made by devs that can be interpreted in way some people deem as an evil SJW. After a year people will forget about those comments, but they will still have some memory about the game. Just as marketing experts have foreseen. They play both sides of the conflict. I bet they laughed out loudly trying to think of comments that will trigger people the most.
The only way to fight monsters is to become one yourself.I seriously wonder here.
