Why are schools rarely a setting in Western games
Why are schools rarely a setting in Western games
I loved learning i was always the fucking nerd with the tops scores but i hated school with passion.
Fuck off Ukraine
School is fucking boring and most adults don't spend their time obsessing over highschool.
Those that do are seen as very childish, which is completely true, just look at the Adult Part of the Harry Potter community.
western games cater towards adults
Having to wear a uniform is conditioning to be subservient to the state.T oo bad in its place is conformity to the latest trends.
because school is a time you want over with
in the West, the interesting adventurous part of life is right after high school until late 20s early 30s
depending on how fast your peer group settles down
You reminded me of those autists that played the school themed custom games in wc3.
>School is fucking boring and most adults don't spend their time obsessing over highschool.
>What is prom
>Why are schools rarely a setting in Western games
They're either shit holes or they're boring
That's why the harry potter Hogwarts shit was so appealing: what if there was a magic school that was not only really nice but also cool and exciting?
prom is a fucking meme that people use as a formality to go out afterwards and really party
Americans think that education is lame.
because it's boring, best forgotten, and nothing of value happened
nothing I learned in highschool prepared me for college or the real world, it's this stupid microcosm where you can't smoke weed, can't drink, can't drive when you want, and can't work a job to have money
Doesn't matter. It seem like one of the most obsess shit when involved with comic, cartoons, and other shit. And it s always the adult that project prom so much
it's not exactly lame, but it's just something you do like brushing your teeth
there's nothing exciting about it
This. I'm super smart but got bad grades because I'm also super lazy xD
People get tired of playing FPS all the time.
i live in the third world and when i graduated high school we didnt have a prom
what's that like, a prom night? is it like, just a party?
>all those third world shitholes with uniforms
>all the western europe countries dont have them
I see that uniforms are dogshit for brown people and chinks
in my case it was a $200 tux rental, driving to the local museum rented for it, standing by the chocolate fountain gorging myself for two and a half hours, then going to burger king and having dinner with all the night shift airport workers
huge waste along with my senior trip to a local indoor soccer field, fucking gay
It's romantic and part of being a teenager. I still keep mine stored somewhere as a memento.
Also I can only imagine how many kids in american schools get bullied over their clothes.
That's down to shit teachers. My school had this one teacher who commanded attention simply by being charismatic and entertaining, he loved what he did. Juggled history, maths and sports, but also subbed in for other subjects where comfortable and he was always better than whoever the fuck else normally taught those lessons. Nobody misbehaved, everybody paid attention.
spring formal but seniors/juniors only
in some places it's taken way too seriously and people get limos, that happened at mine too but honestly it was all tryhards and girls doing it to show off
What about it? How many video games are there about proms?
Lmao I made one of those
Clothing is only a "target" if the person was going to get bullied anyway. There's still social pressure to wear better clothes, but it's mostly a non issue - or at least, that's my memory of it from more than a decade ago.
Yes, prom is a celebration of being done with high school and finally getting to the fun part that is college/uni.
Thanks for stating the obvious
I walked into the gym thirty feet, took a seat, and waited until they turned the lights on and kicked me out. I spent most of it on my psp with my gf. We all just sat around and played chess because the alternative was dancing to the awful music and being groped by black people (also I'm puerto rican so I can say that without being racist). Then we fucked on the bumper of my car, went home, and went to school on monday. She said I had a small penis compared to her brothers, why are mexicans like this.
At least 1 person got pregnant but she was trashy bitch anyway and they kicked her out wouldn't let her attend graduation because of it. She had to come into the office the next day and get it from the admin lmfao
t. Mutt
it's just a formal dance that happens at the end of the school year
kids dress up in formal wear (suit/tuxedo and nice dress), girls go get their hair done up fancy, nails, makeup to the 9s
usually there are lots of photos by parents before you go
the event itself is held in some cheap conference center room, cheap dj, okay catering, bland safe music
it gets memed up as this amazing night, but it's mostly the same as any other school dance except more expensive
then the kids go home, change out of their fancy clothes, then go somewhere for a real party
i wouldnt know, it got cancelled
Blue = Souless
Yellow = Soul
I might be a loser now but I had a gf in HS and I lost my virginity having sex in our uniforms.
Good question, it's a common setting for Western cartoons, television and movies but I can't think of many games.
Uniforms promote community over individualism. It's also one less valley of opportunity for bullying.
I just realized, since americans don't wear uniforms to school, they don't grow up looking at teenage girls in school uniforms on a daily basis. This explains a lot about their dislike for sexy girls in media, they lack testosterone.
>western europe
>not 60%+ brown by now
Lmao, nice denial
didn't go because I didn't want to rent a tux. Got asked out by five different foids but honestly sex isn't worth a drive to a wedding shop, 90 minute wait in line, paying $150 (plus tip for the fitting) and wearing clothes that are one size too small for half a day. Don't regret it.
>compared to her brothers
fuckin mexicans, gotta keep it in the family eh?
Not a daily basis, but cheerleader uniform fetishes is a thing. And Catholic school girls. So it exists in some form at least. Americans do like sexy girls in media, it's just a small subset of weirdos lacking T.
Bullying is a good thing
Uniforms are cool but here in Latin America they are quite boring, just a t-shirt with the school logo, at least for those who want to have more individuality the uniform code is very loose, as long as you are wearing the shirt and following the overall dress code anything goes.
agreed, bullying is the gatekeeping of society
Anyone who believes that is a larping misanthrope who hasn't seen how bad it can really get
It's a huge opportunity for bullying because one student can squirt catsup on another, putting their uniform out of compliance, and then the bishop can be walked over and that person given a detention for wearing stained clothes. Same for just stealing clothes from the gym locker room or not wearing the correct shoes or correct socks, or being caught out of uniform anywhere on campus even in the parking lot. I went to a catholic school with uniforms and got this shit constantly by the white half subsidizing the alien half. If you give someone one iota of power they will always abuse it, even if it's just taking your school branded pencils and replacing them with noncompliant pencils.
Because its fucking gay pedo shiy, westerners arent schoolkids until theyre 19 so there is no solid characters or development in those school, opposed to "foreign" schools with adults in them.
>I went to a catholic school
Okay, but we're talking about regular schools. Not rebranded Jewish pet institutions.
man I miss school uniforms it was the one thing that made catholic school comfy
>noncompliant pencils
kids who get bullied very hard usually deserve it for being excessively weak or abnormal
Nobody wants to hear about your humiliation fetish user.
This. Zero tolerance policies are stupid, but bullying can obviously go too far to the point where it's basically kids being tortured at school.
Bullies are specifically abnormal and compensating for their abnormality by punching down. They are always and have always been faggots in need of a reality check.
I didn't go. Sometimes feels like I missed out, but ah well what can you do. My friend group was too autistic, no one went and so neither did I. I wonder what my life would look like if I had a different group of friends back then, its not like everyone hasn't split off long ago anyways. We had good times though so it wasn't all bad, just wish I didnt miss out on some "once-per-life" kinda stuff.
my mom forced me to go and we left immediatly after I got my diploma
American school girl uniforms are very conservative ie skirts must be worn down below the knee, socks pulled up, and pants/shorts worn underneath. They are also issued the same shoes as the boys.
exception: gym uniforms. Certain people know that catholic schools around San Francisco continued using those AWFUL unitard onsies until the late 90s. The ones that would either sag really bad and have the top fall off or would show a lot of cameltoe if it was too small, and there was only one size. This is probably why they still don't have coed studies
It can be pretty random. One kid has a chip on his shoulder and singles out another for some petty reason. And then kids following the group join in and justify it by saying stuff about how they deserved it.
>Rent an overpriced ride
>Sit around with my friends
>Eat some catered food
>Get a little romantic with GF
WOW SO AMAZING
You are coping extremely hard to deal with the fact that you are on the lowest rung. The reason that bullies can get away with what they do is because the majority of people dislike the person who is being bullied more than they dislike the bully, and they approve of the bully's actions.
They are a necessary evil and sacrifice though in my opinion. Almost all bullies end up in the lower rungs of society, but the people they bully learn important lessons on how to deal with their kind.
Up to a certain point. Calling people faggots and niggers or whatever, who cares. If they're causing actual injury then its time to ship them off to an isolation school.
Nope. Lack of bullying is why you have zoomer boys walking around in cat ears and skirts without getting shit for it
Nah, they're just too cowardly to say anything usually and want to keep their noses out of it.
Most of the time they don't even particularly like the bully. They just go along with it because it means they're not the one getting bullied.
And then at some point the bully picks the wrong person and gets laid out, and the process starts again.
This.
I have an IQ of 146 but I find school sooooooo boring and instead of doing school work I just play video games instead XD
>Anyone who believes that is a larping misanthrope who hasn't seen how bad it can really get
Oh I am a misanthrope and I support bullying because I've seen how bad it can get.
>p-please bully-san, hurt me more
>teach me to be a big strong man
nigga you gay as fuck
No, absentee parents are why you have those things.
compliant pencils: #2 pencils obtained from the school commissary along with compliant notebooks, backpacks, and textbooks. Usually in the school colors. Officially this was so they could be used with scantrons
noncompliant pencils: non-#2 pencils, pencils not in school colors, pencils bought from the nearby CVS, lumber pencils, pencils branded with company names, and pencils with swear words or drug references on them
my sophomore year I replaced my sister's math binder with the slip cover with her name on it with a tubgirl printout, mom took away the car for a month so I bought my own. Benefits of having a job
Absentee parents and the internet really
:^)
>Not rebranded Jewish pet institutions.
typically that statement applies to public schools, despite catholic schools having literal illegal immigrant quotas
>school uniforms in most of Яussia
Heh.
Typically their fingers are in all the pies, but some fingers are stickier than others.
*manchildren FTFY
The internet is just the replacement for the parents.
if you can force someone to wear the same clothes every day, you can force them to use the same pencils too
Which explains a lot
Uniforms are great because that means all the cute girls have to wear a skirt.
I see the Sony wojak
The whole debate on bullying doesn't matter because the bullied aren't allowed to fight back and defend their honor. If they do they get in trouble because teachers are all sissies who don't allow boys to resolve their issues with a fight.
I loved the long skirts. Also short sleeve summer shirts.
cool but that doesn't change anything, skirts conceal asses way better than hot pants and minishorts. Or just straight thongs since I grew up in florida and that was allowed on hot days
Yeah, zero tolerance policies go too far and end up punishing kids for fighting back. It was getting bad when I finished high school in the 00s, can only imagine how stupid the policies are now.
This, it is supposed to get you into a docile and subservient mindset towards state authority from childs age.
Pretty much the purpose of a lot of things in public schooling
russia lost
putin is a gay clown
Good stuff... good stuff.
