Is it the anniversary or is he just name-dropping it since he’s doing a follow-up now?

Hmph, guess it came out in February.

Really? It usually takes so long for new Lloyd movies that I wasn’t even expecting it for like another two years.

Here’s the trailer:

Is it okay for a developer to decide how a fictional character identifies???  :hmph
No:
Ashe's character, like many others, was created after the fact of her design. She exists as a foil to McCree because, upon settling on a design, they simply made her that way. We don't know how she would've been characterized as a black woman because Blizzard didn't give her the chance to be a black woman.

This reminds me of RE arguing that videogame characters didn't "consent" to the camera or outfits.

If POSITIVE sexual relations are the end goal, i am sure there can be some acknowledgements we can agree on.
  • Enthusiastic consent by all parties.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/positive-sexual-representation-in-games-is-it-possible.141825/post-24650064

Wont somebody please think about Bayonetta not even consenting to star in a videogame?


i remember one little dumb moment in like a FFXIII thread of some sort. Some tard was having a meltdown because people were making fun of one of the characters and said it should be banned, chars should be treated like humans, etc.

I couldn't tell if it was a troll but i definitely didn't think that would be on the table ever as a point of discussion  :shaq2

edit: moderators, i apologize for the double post. I think you guys are doing a hell of a job and everyone should buy The Bore Clear.

The fantasy being referenced is a rape fantasy though? Gangbangs in porn are more often than not. There's nothing wrong with any kind of consensual interracial orgy but it is not coded as such, its coded as a group of large older black males hovering behind an "unsuspecting" young and small white girl. From what I can tell, they're specifically referencing a power dynamic (and often white male-serving giant dadoldry fetish) fantasy that stems from racist depictions of black men as rapists and women as sexual prey. Oh, and the fact the comparison being made in the video is with competitive war maneuvers. But hey i'd love to be convinced otherwise.

That was my primary point to raise as I agree. It's something that people have to endure an amount of because it relies on being a pattern of subtle prods than an obvious transphobic comment. If it takes 5 posts to make a clear case, it's 4 people have had to put up with. Moderators only see one post from a report, and the others that we know are there somewhere because we've been the ones affected by them, might be buried in among 500 posts across 150 threads. So tackling it isn't simple, but I think some steps proposed could definitely help, alongside the increase in severity of bans around the topic.

One was in having links to threads like the Transgender 101 thread to direct people with good-faith questions to, so they don't congest the current thread while also allowing us to educate. Having to be diverted to troll in an old widely-used thread isn't as fun as the current active one, reducing the kick people get from it. If they continue they walk a thinner line as it's been made clear that general questions around identity etc. should be forwarded to the 101 (or other).

In addition a couple of staff members said they would be fine being a point of contact moving forward for reporting ones we did see. If I were to spot someone posting in bad-faith and knew they were only there to troll based on past history, I could put the posts in question into a PM to them, detailing some of the context and the pattern and these would be reviewed in addition to any reports. Hopefully over time this will help mods identify some of the behaviours we're affected by more keenly, while meaning we don't have to put up with them for as long.

Staff post I imagine will lay out the scope of the changes and implementations, but wanted to give some context because it's very much something that has been rife in the past and is extremely aggravating. Hopefully through the above and other changes we can both reduce the amount interested, and sooner identify those that still are.

So many things wrong with this OP.
It is a public university, not a private institution, as you claim.
The vice president and provost is a woman, not a "he".
The vice president is a lawyer and legal scholar. She was dean of the law school before being named provost.
The statement is both well-worded, and accurate. It's also a scathing takedown (in legal speak) of the shithead professor AND a legal roadmap for students to get him fired.
Maybe spend an hour or two reading up on basic Constitutional law before making sweeping statements that have no basis in fact and calling a law professor "a dumb fuck" because you don't like the law?

My favorite part about this being yet another Canadian on ResetERA.com obsessed with yet ignorant of U.S. politics is that the first section of their Constitution literally negates the rest:
Quote
Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms

1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Everything moderators do right now has to be discussed and agreed upon by multiple team members, and long ban lengths need to be reviewed and approved by even more staff. The community complaint was that this can lead to too much time being taken to remove obvious bad actors from threads. We'll be cutting some red tape in that regard.

Alright, I'm happy to say that all of you have been recruited for the heist. Your first task is to break into the Louvre, but your goal is not any of the paintings or artwork inside. If you can remove the Mona Lisa from its casing, you should find something written on the back that I am told will lead us to the next clue.

Try not to set off any alarms, and let's try not to get anybody killed.
This team is far too big, this is a one person job with maybe a support man.

No doubt KetKat’s little cabal will find even more grievances and offensive transphobic posts in completely unrelated places as they realize nobody posts in “their” threads anymore, continuing the downward spiral of the shitshow.

I identify as a tank and I don't know if that user knows, but that tank slowly made a consent action, by slightly tilting the gun as it was surrounded by very hot dark tanks. Such behavior is normal. Tanks do know how to express when they don't consent, as illustrated in the following video:



Human was engaging tank with some S&M. When it got too rough, tank rescinded consent.


I wish Octolings didn't try to tell us tanks how to behave or what our culture is supposed to be.

 :hmm

"I want JRPGs with great female characters. Strong, complicated female characters that aren't defined by their sexuality, like Estelle in Trails in the Sky or Nanami in Suikoden II."

Aren't both of those characters ~16 and the main characters' step-sister? I'm not saying Jason has a type, but that sure is a type. :thinking

Note: This is based on personal opinions and while I am asexual, my experiences and opinions do not necessarily speak for the Asexual Community.

I wanted to make this thread because I wanted to talk about how asexual discrimination occurs. There is usually confusion at the idea and I wanted to give a personal view into why I think it occurs as well as some examples I have experienced.

1. Refusal to acknowledge Asexuality as an orientation

Let's start this by defining what Asexuality means. Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It is not a choice (i.e. celibacy or abstinence) but an orientation.

Now, I'm fine with most people initially not familiar with asexuality. After all, only 1% of the world is asexual according to statistics (though people guess the number might be higher). What is significantly less cool is people then trying to find anything to say I'm not asexual. The most common I hear is "Oh, you just haven't met the right person yet." Which is annoying to me because I'm like 99% positive I won't suddenly grow a boner at one person. But there's a lot of things thrown out such as me being gay or bi and not admitting it, saying I'm just trying to justify my virginity (which is...lol I lost that years ago), or implying I'm mentally or hormonaly imbalanced. There is just this refusal to believe that someone can just not be sexually attracted to things.

2. Romance

I don't think people realize how sex plays an important roles in romance and relationships. Even the option to not have sex plays into it. What people don't understand is that asexuality is a spectrum and while people like me are also not interested in romantic interaction, asexuality doesn't necessary preclude romantic interest. Early on before I realized I was aromantic as well as asexual, my lack of a sexual drive was discriminated against. There were those who believed I was lying to them that I cared for them or that I didn't truly love them because of my lack for sexual interest. And as a guy I was incredibly lucky. I know many of my women asexual friends who have horror stories about men who refuse to understand asexuality.

These were but a few examples from personal experience. If any asexual members of Era want to discuss their own discrimination please fill free to.

I get enough bullshit admitting my sex drive isn't always running at a "peak high" ("Whaaat but sex is amazing! You just haven't been with the right per--" uuugh no) .
We talk and sell the idea of sex so much people get almost freaked out that others can be different or simply werent born the same... Not sure why it's so hard to accept there are all kinds of peoples with all kinds of preferences....

Xaszatm thanks for making these sorta PSA posts, I honestly think they're concise and a great read for those who legitimately have questions or are just not around folk to tell them about these things...
It's great you can break folks outta their shells

I definitely relate. Out of what you said I've been told:

"You havent met the right person yet"
"If your asexual then there must be something chemically wrong with you then".

Then I get things like:
"You don't know if you like sucking a dick until you suck a dick"
"Maybe if you try having sex you might like it"
"Oh does that means you cant feel attracted to people"

It goes on. I mostly forget people saying this since the conversations rarely come up and people say this when first learning of asexuality. Most people just move on and forget about it because they don't understand it or they don't care.
