"Nathan's pickup line is a line of rope around the hands" Edition
Previous Thread: Life is Strange is an episodic interactive drama from DONTNOD Entertainment. Set in the Pacific Northwest in the town of Arcadia Bay, the player follows the story of Maxine Caulfield and her seemingly newfound ability to turn hella gay and rewind time. At the prestigious Blackwell Academy, Max must prepare with Chloe Price for the incoming storm of returning to her hometown after five years. Available on Steam, PSN and Xbox Live.
Kate and her family might be close friends with David Duke but they are not members of the KKK!

>As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
Kate's family has converted many black people to Christianity!

I love how creepy they made that picture look.

>Threadly reminder that Max only felt sorry for Kate and will quickly forget about her
Brandon Wright
The fucking Youtube commenters trying to justify David's abusive behaviour.
FUCKING REEEEEEE DON'TNOD CANNOT HANDLE DOMESTIC ABUSE WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT HIS PTSD
Kevin White
Easy now, user. Calm down.
Jason Johnson
Why is every character so short?... is it french thing?
Ayden Rivera
No, it's a serious issue.
This damages the perception of victims by making the abusive perpetrators "sympathetic".
Logan Nelson
>This damages the perception of victims by making the abusive perpetrators "sympathetic". so much this but still let's not go full tumblr
Kayden Wright
No one's height ever gets referenced, what are you on about?
It's only confirmed by developers on Twitter that Max is 165 and Chloe is 175.
Luis Campbell
So what, David should just be an iredeemable monster who's sole character trait is that he beats up Chloe?
Jason Jenkins
On the other hand, not many characters are taller than chloe. I think only frank, jefferson and maybe the principal are distinctly taller.
Charles Brooks
>people who commit abuse are now no longer human and irredeemably evil
Hateful thinking like this perpetuates problems
Chase King
No, you retard. Nice strawman.
There's nothing ambiguous about the situation. When you have people genuinely claiming that David was in the right, you've failed as a writer to depict the consequences of anger-fueled "punishment".
Jack Lewis
People shouldn't give two iotas of a shit about what a bully has to deal with.
I swear, this game's audience is its worse enemy.
Ryan Jenkins
Small request. Does anyone have a 4k version of pic related? Clean without the logo and all that. Will love you forever
Sebastian Cox
>people that dont find bullies sympathetic are even worse oh look we write our own bullshit in quotes
Ryder Murphy
No one's claiming that David was in the right, or at least the vast majority of players aren't. Anyone who is is simply a moron or just hates Chloe. About the only thing people might agree with David about is his desire to tighten school security considering what Jefferson and Nathan were doing behind the scenes.
Why in the fuck's name are you on youtube? Better: why are you reading comments?!
Luke Turner
In willingly disregarding the humanity of others you're basically the same as a bully.
Jonathan Torres
Yes, they were.
Look at the comments in the Youtube clips.
You've just changed the subject.
Justin Sullivan
Being mad at abusers doesn't solve the problem, though. Realising the source of their abusive behaviour and addressing that is the only way to get them to actually stop. Separating the parties works on an individual level, but that guy's probably just going to go along and make the same mistakes over and over again until something's done to address it.
But yeah, anyone saying he's a "good guy after all" is sugarcoating as fuck, and the game itself does fuck all to actually address the nuances it brought up (but that goes for literally everything the game brought up).
Benjamin Cook
Stop re-stating quotes and elaborate, you bawking pseudo-intellectual.
Justin Watson
>comments in the Youtube clips As I said, morons.
Tyler Davis
What is there to elaborate lol. You're taking the moral high ground while advocating blind hatred
Connor Adams
Why are you looking in the YouTube comments to begin with? You can't expect anything good from there.
Andrew Sanchez
Retards will always exist in the world. When we watched Billy Elliot in high school, one girl thought that his father was crying at the end because he was still so ashamed his son was "gay". Her dumb fucking ass missing the point so tremendously doesn't mean the film was bad, it just means it didn't dumb itself down for morons like her at the cost of alienating anyone who'd put the effort in to pay attention.
But yeah, Dontnod are shit writers and let David off way too fucking easy, I'll agree to that.
Adrian Price
No, just removing them from the victim's life is good enough.
Personally, I would have taken a rock to his head but I can see the legal issue behind that.
Matthew Ramirez
>reading youtube comments Well here's your problem.
Lucas Powell
"LUL I DON'T HAVD TO ARGUE"- Missed the point.
Lucas Rogers
And there's no argument. I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy.
Hudson Gutierrez
It's enough for that victim. Then they move on and victimise someone else. Lovely.
Dominic Price
Being a hypocrite doesn't mean I'm wrong.
You never pointed anything out, you made a claim with no stated reasoning behind it.
Blake Powell
Then you take him to court, or go to an authority.
The main issue here is the the collateral damage around him.
David Sullivan
>I swear, this game's audience is its worse enemy.
How on earth does the sentiment that abusive people have humanity conflict with what the game put forward? The game encourages empathy for shitty people the entire way through.
Connor Gray
Cheers
Christian Sullivan
And you stop that collateral damage by preventing him from causing it anymore.
>trusting the police to do shit about garden variety domestic abuse >thinking locking him up in Crime College for a few months, at best, to get a new PhD in PTSD is going to fix anything at all
Andrew Parker
Ich liebe Max
Evan Cooper
Oh, you've gone down a path of "I am literally a child with no knowledge of the legal system but plenty of empty sentiment".
Owen Rodriguez
Well you started this schtick with "I am literally a child high on my own outrage who gets mad about Youtube comments, has no knowledge of how the world works, and thinks we should just Hitler all the bad people away."
Julian Young
Kate really isn't gonna get anywhere in life with her talents. Drawing pictures for children's books isn't much of a life's goal.
Mason Rodriguez
Except that wasn't what I did, you autist.
You're a shining example of tacit condonation and homespun wisdom.
I fear for anyone in your life that needs help.
Austin Foster
Kate's going to write/ illustrate books for a little, dabble in some mission stuff with her church, and then work at an adoption center/ orphanage. Eventually she'll be the one that causes the line of events that results in Max & Chloe adopting a daughter.
Evan Hall
You're a shining example of someone who reads fucking youtube comments. You're done, user. Go home.
Henry Watson
Nigga', you're dumb as fuck.
Jackson Reyes
Maybe she can marry Warren and live off a scientist's salary.
Jose Fisher
Well she'll get all his money and possessions when he inevitably blows himself up
Kevin Johnson
no u
Aaron Brown
I'm sure Kate will be happy to inherit a slightly sticky copy of the Cannibal Holocaust Limited Edition DVD and a bag full of shitty meme t-shirts.
Liam Sanchez
No, you ^2
Easton Wilson
>be in a really prestigious school with a GPA of 3.9 >isn't gonna get anywhere in life Do you see how stupid your statement is now?
Gavin Brown
no u infinity plus one
Benjamin Perez
Hard to get anywhere in life when you're dead.
Dominic Stewart
There is no conspiracy to make video games politically correct. Characters in fiction and gaming communities simply change with respect to the latest cultural values. But you fedora-tipping cancerous fucks always blame imaginary SocJus boogeymen when people start hating you for the shit that you do. As long as you continue to refuse act like decent human beings, people will keep noticing.
But of course, you will keep blaming imaginary "SJWs", "poseurs" and "normies" when you the public hates you for the scum you are. And let's not even get started on how you all react to games becoming more popular and easily accessible.
John Baker
For all of her supposed brightness she has no ambition. All she can think of doing with her life is drawing crappy sketches for kids books.
Nathaniel Lewis
Threadly reminder that Kate survived in more playthroughs than Chloe and Vicky did. >survives in Bay ending >survives in Bae ending if you saved her >>>/tumblr/ is that way We were all childish once and I'd like to think that Dr Seuss was successful
Wyatt Sullivan
Okay. Where did this come from exactly? I don't see anything in the OP about "SocJus boogeymen".
Evan Richardson
it's a copypasta that he posts in every general, just look in the archives before giving him a (you)
Camden Edwards
He's a retard posting it in multiple threads.
Leo Baker
Don't you mean Director's Cut?
Eli Cooper
All anyone at that school can think of doing with their lives is being useless arteests.
Eli Garcia
>survives in Bae ending if you saved her You need to stop living in a dream world Max. She's in a better place now.
Samuel Howard
No, you ad infinitum QED
Jason Bennett
At least the shirts would be cute on her
Carson Gray
Who knows what happened to Victoria. She might have boarded the plane to SF without Jefferson and avoided the storm completely, it's unclear how quickly word of his arrest would have spread.
David Nelson
It's irrelevant how fast word of mouth spread. She was a planned target of Jefferson's and the friend to his accomplice/murder victim. She'd be brought in to answer police questions alongside Wells. She wouldn't be going to San Francisco any time soon as Jefferson was meant to board the plane with her (and Wells didn't have the time to change plans). She probably wouldn't even feel like going considering she'd have lost a friend and had to deal with the revelations about Rachel and Kate.

POST YOUR ATTEMPT ON SAD RACHEL
Nicholas Flores
Kate is the kind of person who would set up a religious club/prayer group in university. However, she is likely apolitical
Brandon Kelly
Think she'd invite herself over to others to hang out and then try to talk them into going to church with her and give 7 dollars to cover pizza expenses just before leaving at the end of the evening?
Robert Allen
>Kate knows she will be mocked if she tries her evangelical tactics on American students, or worse, reported to the Dean for infringing on their safe space >dedicates her efforts to FOB foreign/ exchange students >soon accumulates a following of Evan-like beta Asian orbiters and swarthy Sambos
Just another reason why she's perfect. She might disagree with you, but she won't shove her beliefs down your throat.

Aiden Brooks
I will buy Kate a taser to protect herself against the ongoing rape epidemic that is said to be happening on American college campuses
Camden Moore
You're welcome My hands are shit
Dylan Jones
>imblying college rape is a real thing
The only risk Kate has of being involved in a sexual assault, is from her own poor judgement. Just keep that gullible bitch away from any parties serving alcohol and she should be fine
Dominic Johnson
Kill yourself.
Ian Morales
How sad and needlessly angry do you need to be to insult Kate? Nothing that happened to her was her fault.
Kayden Murphy
Nice formatting but this isn't reddit.
Jayden Roberts
>sexual assault is no longer sexual assault if she is drunk >it's just her own poor judgement >it just MADE someone rape her
