Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Amazing.
Boy am I getting sick of it.
All I see in the video is awesomeness.
Yeah, I want someone to replace that guy with Holmes dancing and flexing. Like a combined tribute video to him and Rhythm Heaven.
And maybe Tara doing the interview instead of that. I do believe there is enough footage out there of both things if someone is skilled enough.
Ah! Sugoi Desu Nee!!
I'm being too sensitive, true. But after so many years of gaming having barely provided a handful or two of prominent, positively-portrayed gay characters my bullpucky tolerance of gaming and nerd culture in general making gay jokes is pretty dang low.
I'm hoping that gets my beef across slightly more clearly. No disrespect to you Mr. Holmes, if nothing else.
Yup, the baby faces you see in the background are a nother common part of the meme, usually used in censorship. Billy Herrington is a popular subject of the meme. It also falls in line with the "yaranaika?" meme of throwing in gay porn into everything.
There's a YouTube channel called "akaboshi07" which chronicles LGBT events and panel discussions in Japan, but not a lick of it is subtitled. That's a shame, as I'd like to hear more about their goals and struggles in a more socially conservative culture than our own.
At this point though, I should STFUAJPG.
