Airbase in Crimea getting fucked reminds me of the Moskva sinking. Just an all around embarrassment for Russia, a great point and laugh moment for everyone else in the world.

Good times.

Like this is some kind of sport or reality TV show. Very progressive. :doge

While I agree about the people who worked on this deserve to have their work shown off, I disagree that this shouldn’t be cancelled because of the actions of one person. Ezra is the face of this film. They can’t really be divorced from this project.

Not a lot of movies would get released.

This is what I don't get. One would think that WB's greed would make it important for them to sit Miller down and tell them to stop this shit. Put a tight leash on Miller so they don't further cause problems and keep hurting WB's chances of releasing this movie. But no, they clearly haven't done that. I can't fathom this at all.

WB enabling Miller like this doesn't make a lick of sense. Even if they care more about money than people's wellbeing or lives, it's still in their best interest to put a stop to Miller's abhorrent behavior at any cost.

Having a single thread for this makes sense. Pretty much makes it impossible for any misgendering to be an accident at that point.

I’m wondering, are all of their crimes making the mainstream news? If they are, why is nobody yelling at WB to stop supporting a criminal?

I don't think being a criminal dissolves past and current contractual obligations unrelated.
Criminal reform ERA strikes again !

I can see the argument they should have dropped them when the first major issues made headlines or even that they should shelf the movie (don't agree with the latter but it happened).

Syphon Filter is one that I recall being particularly shit over on the PS3. I got it free with a subscription to some online vidya magazine that Sony were pushing at the time. Even back then, it had aged appallingly.

Quote from: B-Dubs
Official Staff Communication

Given the preponderance of threads on the crimes being committed by Ezra Miller, we feel like it would be more beneficial to establish a single thread to chronicle the story and any developments pertaining to it.

As such, anything to do with Ezra Miller committing crimes should be placed in this thread and should not receive it's own thread.

If there is news as to what the WB is doing with the Flash movie, for example cancelling it or taking Miller off the press tour, that can get it's own thread.

We're taking this action not because what they're doing isn't abhorrent, it is, but because there's so much of it that's it has started to clog up the ETC subforum.

Again, any new "Ezra Miller committed a crime" stories or anything pertaining to that, goes in this thread and this thread alone.

They're still crying about it that they made another crying thread about no classics

And the two classics added were two games nobody was clamoring for...Sony is really shameful here. This is your premium tier, what's the freaking point if your not gonna add at least 2-3 bangers a month? They have a ton of stuff to go to between the PSX, PS2 and PSP yet give us nothing. It speaks to the level of incompetence they've been displaying overall that they didn't have at least the first 4ish months worth of classic drops ready to go.

Lil' Mess Mess blowing dust off his archives again.

Messedupeggo is a fucking clown, but holy shit how pathetic is his life that he has to go get a Verafied Opinion on rando youtubers?

Out of interest, I checked out the entry hes linking to like hes fucking columbo dropping a just one more thing, and itsfuckingnothing.gif

Quote
Maldonado has identified as a "classical liberal"[3][4][5][6][7][8] but has more recently rejected that label in favour of defining himself as a social-democrat.[9] Maldonado's views can aptly be summed up as mainly liberal[10] yet socially conservative in a few instances. On one hand, he has advocated for fiscally-liberal causes such as universal healthcare and free schooling. However, he appears to lean center/right in some regards, such as critiquing these as being economically nonviable.[10] This centrist approach to politics appears to transfer to his opinions of people involved within politics; he has appeared on The Rubin Report to discuss with objectivist libertarian Dave Rubin,[11] but he appears to be critical of conservatives such as Ben Shapiro[12] and Candace Owens[13] and is ambivalent towards Jordan Peterson.[14]

WHAT A MONSTER!

Its also pretty jarring presenting itself as a 'wiki' type site, but continously using loaded language and weasel wording, because fuck neutral pov amirite?

Quote

has parroted the "regressive left"[39] far too often to simply be a coincidence.
Quote
Maldonado, not one to miss an opportunity, removed the original context
Quote
The nail in the coffin is that he once made a comedy video mocking the concept of environmental racism


You can also see the kind of pathetic cunt filing these dossiers on that site (messedupeggo included presumably) from the talk page;

Quote
"He has also defended Blue Lives Matter and refused to countenance any inherent issues with that movement, instead referring to people taking issues with false parallels between the two groups as simply having a negative opinion of the group, as opposed to the obvious difference is that black people can't stop being black whereas cops can avoid the danger they face by quitting being cops."
Here is what is in the video cited:
MTV video: "Also, Blue Lives Matter isn't a thing" "Cops weren't born with blue skin. Right? I mean, yeah. They weren't born blue."
Chris Ray Gun: "Good, fucking brilliant. You've got to be kidding me with this shit. You can't say something you're addressing isn't a thing just because you have a negative opinion of it. Also, they weren't "born blue". What the hell does that mean? What does that literally mean?"
He barely said anything about Blue Lives Matter, either positive or negative. So I don't think it's fair to say he "refused to countenance any inherent issues with that movement". He didn't really defend it, he just said you can't say it "isn't a thing". He didn't talk about parallels with Black Lives Matter either. Better references need to be added or this should be worded differently.

SO basically any old dipshit with an axe to grind can just postwhatever thinly sourced hate screed they want, and other dipshits like eggo will just nod and go uh-huh

Very possible I’m wrong here and citing half remembered articles from years ago. But Amy Hennig and Todd Stashwick were writing Uncharted 4 once upon a time. Original teaser for it had Stashwick’s VO as Nathan’s brother swearing revenge. That fell apart. They went off to do a Star Wars game at Visceral for EA. That fell apart. At some point he or they were writing the Suicide Squad 2 movie. That fell apart. At some point maybe they wanted a project that’ll happen. And as of April of this year, Amy Hennig is on another Star Wars game.

Woke up to this and couldn’t help but think: This is everything they could’ve hoped for and more.

Look at all the engagement that this one post has garnered: people are talking about it on social media. People are retweeting it and improvising their own take on the trailer. And they garnered this response without doing anything controversial, most posts actually paint the game in a good light. There’s an article on Kotaku. This is probably one of the best examples of viral marketing that you could potentially see today.

I’m pretty sure their community management/marketing department is high-fiving each other right now reading these responses.

Between being PlayStation exclusive and having a black woman as a protagonist, 100% is already being weaponized

When I play a game with a create-a-character I almost always make a black woman. Black women are barely allowed to exist in video games most of the time. Things have improved a good bit recently but we still got a long ways to go. So I create black women protags myself.
So I gotta support this game. We need more black women protags. Sorry Era. Your accusations of cringe will not sway me. For I am steeled in my morals. 🙅🏾‍♂️

Pretty sure Lime claimed to do the same.

If this [clearly] white dude can get black chicks by doing this weird unctuous shit and it works, I'm gonna start doing weaponizing it too.  Showing off my 40 black women only created characters in every game I make.  That's the ticket.

People posting memes on Twitter and shit gonna end up playing it day one anyways. Even saying the gameplay looks fun and such. Mission accomplished for those working on the game.

This culture war is just so dumb. People desperately defending bad shit because it stars someone who is a minority or people hating good shit because it stars a minority. It's all dumb shit.

The game looks interesting enough, despite the millennial writers boardroom dialogue and Frey looks cool, and not to mention very sexy.  But you can't say she's sexy!  That's off-limits, too!  God how do I reach these kids?!

You do realize how absolutely ridiculous this sounds, right?

What you're saying would be like excusing a broken game because "you do realize new games have a lot of bugs and take thousands and thousands of hours to work out those bugs, right? Which means there are people out there who need to exploit each and every nook and cranny in the entire game, submit every bug they find, and then the devs need to fix the bugs ensure and that the game works as intended without issues."

If the game isn't ready, don't release it and charge customers for it.

If Sony's PS Premium service isn't ready, don't release it and charge customers for it.



It's not hard.
Ree Sony Ponies kept begging Jim Ryan to release it as soon as it was announced lol

Constructive gets into whether or not having a Chet Hanks inspired pun in the next Genshin OT title is a good thing or harmful:
Quote from: Tridash
Hello,

In the Genshin Impact main thread, we were talking about the name of the next OT, and one of them did catch some traction. "White Boy Sumeru", mostly for two reasons :

- It's obviously a play on Chet Hanks (yes, the son of Tom Hanks) "White Boy Summer", which have been meme'd a lot, with the new region being called Sumeru
- But it's also a clever way to remember how Genshin Impact is mostly doing white characters, even in the new zone, Sumeru, that it's supposed to be inspired by the Middle-East, and yet... mostly pale characters.

Apparently, someone asked the mods, and they said that it would be better to "use less debated options instead". I have a really hard time figuring why a OT title reminding everyone the issue Genshin have with black/brown characters would be bad ? The thread was pretty positive about that title, except from a minority that failed to understand why having representation is important, and why Genshin deserved to be put on blast for that.

Could we please have an answer from the moderation team ? I'd also like to know what [USER=80]Neoxon[/USER] thinks about this, if possible !

Thanks for your time.

Since it was mostly me literally raising simple call for a second opinion from mods (which I do know to be a diverse group of people), I feel like I just got accused of failing to understand why representation is important, therefore I can't exactly ignore this statement.

Be it as means of "defending" myself, or in hopes of getting educated if I was in the wrong, I'll just drop a direct link to when the brief exchange happened, and let the mods decide: https://www.resetera.com/threads/genshin-impact-ot7-yippee-ki-yae.536507/page-400#post-90158469

When googled word for word, this directs us to a known racist - all I belived is that it might be a tad too much. How that makes someone "fail to understand why representation is important", is something I don't understand.
Quote from: Tridash
No offense Bansai, but i'm looking for an answer from the moderation team. I didn't tagged you or somebody else because that is not the point.

The point here is to understand why an OT title that has been really good at calling out the lack of melanin of the game in question has apparently been judged as a "debated option", even if the reception was pretty positive a few weeks ago, and is apparently still is, if i look at the latest posts in the thread.
Quote from: Bansai
Don't worry, I'm not itching for a fight here. I just wanted to provide context to some (in my opinion) serious accusation you made, as I do belive that excerpt put our beloved community in a bad light.
Quote from: Moogle, a moderator
A lack of diverse characters across media and more specifically in Genshin Impact is an issue staff and members alike feel passionately about and discuss often. I'm of the opinion that people within the OT and who reached out to staff directly, who were cautious of how the Hanks reference itself might look to thread outsiders in light of it's adoption by white nationalist circles, were acting in good faith when doing so. Remember, 3.0 means a new client/version and the thread will be in Gaming for 4 weeks with many new eyes on it. Not everyone is naturally going to be familiar with the positive ongoing conversations about diversity in the OT itself.

You have multiple options already. Number 6 in the poll addresses the want for an OT title that highlights character diversity issues:

Quote
6) Genshin Impact |OT8| In terms of melanin, we have no melanin

The previous series of Nintendo OT threads would often append a short message to the title (eg. Free Palestine) while retaining the Name |OT| pun format. There's another option to discuss with the OT creator, along with new title suggestions or altering another popular choice. Having it be a Chet Hanks reference is ultimately not that important and nothing is preventing the OT title still calling out the issue at hand.

it's just so dumb

Over a thousand posts on that game and a mild, slightly amusing meme from it, solely because of people want to fight an imaginary GatorGate ‘brigading’.

I love how intimately they are aware of what the white nationalist circles are doing and adopting.
