As someone who's played Runescape since 2007, I was learning more things playing Runescape than I realized. You wouldn't think that but doing stuff like Smithing, Fishing, Woodcutting, Farming and so on teaches you way more than you'd think. Shoutout to Runescape one time.

Way to take everything out of context, but nothing is new.

People wanted to post in support of the staff post, but literally said they were afraid to get dogpiled. So I said it's cool, if you go in there in good faith to defend us, and you don't attack people, you're good

But nah gotta twist it all out of proportion like always.

Anyway, all of this is very funny because I never even had anything to do with any of this. But none of you care, you just want your pound of flesh. Well congrats, you got it.

I'll agree with statements in the thread that makeup is fraught and that it's often moved into black and white territory when it shouldn't be, but we also know how different pieces of looks can get weaponized to sexualize characters, which is kinda the whole thing we're doing in this thread.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/whats-the-point-of-real-women-in-yakuza.443170/#post-67555330

I just find the concept of depictions of real people in a video game weird.

It must be bizarre for the computer people in these games to see that, but they don't seem to care. I guess the idea is that they'd look at that like we look at CG or animated depictions of people. But as a real person, it's weird to play a game presenting a CG world, with real people in it. Like...how does that make sense? How do you explain it? How do the characters in this world know what real people look like? Where did they get these photos from? Is Yakuza a parallel dimension to ours? You can travel between them? Who has this technology? Why are they using it to put photos of real porn stars on a wall in a video game?

They should put some kind of filter on those photos to make them look like they belong in a CG world.
Otherwise my brain just starts dipping down that rabbit hole.

I did this in 2011 after nearly 6 years of being treated so poorly at Kroger (I stayed because of the benefits). That environment was all about management bullying staff and in some cases doing it in-front of customers. So, one day I snapped, got on the intercom and said (I shit-you not), "I'm a wild turkey!" and proceeded to make a ton of gobbling noises. I walked out and flipped off my Supervisor while walking past them, as she was the one trying to mess with me in-front of customers. The reason I did the turkey was because I was known as the guy who did all of the intercom announcements for the Meat & Seafood Dept., and my turkey gobbles were a common thing around Thanksgiving every year. Looking back at it, I am still proud that I let that abusive environment.

When I -directly- asked Nepenthe, why they hadn't corrected any of the initial statements, and basically doubled down on victim blaming, it was again, dismissed, with a "Sue me" comment.

Of course, because you were presenting it in a way that she didn't even mean lol, she doesn't think it was victim blaming and she doesn't owe you agreement. She admitted she had a different understanding of the article, if you want more than that that's your own problem. Her being an admin just means she does admin stuff, I don't know why you keep bringing that up like she has some special status, it's an internet forum lol she should be able to post like the rest of us, it doesn't mean she will always be right or people will always agree, you're taking this waaaay too far. If you care so much about how progressive this forum is then I'm sure you're familiar with Nepenthe being a big part of that for literal years so it's just weird people are so quick to throw her under the bus is all.

Some class privilege in this thread. When you grow up struggling sometimes the only thing you have is your reputation. That is why you should never insult someone unless you are ready to throw hands.

Lady is out here getting shit pay for a tough job to have someone come out and call her a bitch? Nah.

The american justice system is literally built on the idea that we should hurt people who hurt people, to show that hurting people is wrong. Don't act all surprised when you get hurt saying hurtful shit. (Note: I believe our "justice" system is busted and we should abolish the police and prison. That said, I am not going to act surprised or try to take the moral high ground when obvious shit happens. This shit is engrained in our culture.)

I wonder if it might help to raise these issues to influential elected officials like Ocasio-Cortez. She has been actively involved with gamers before, and cares for the LGBTQ community and issues. If more awareness could be raised there, I think it may help raise awareness abroad. Failing real change, provided the senate and presidency flips, they might be willing to place sanctions on Poland until they relent.

I'm actually a pagan who follows the Greek pantheon! And I LOVE all of the POC representation in the game, and the way their personalities are written. And you can still tell the writers did tons of research.

If you're interested, the webcomic "Lore Olympus" does some really interesting stuff with the Greek gods as well. However TW: Rape & Abuse, despite that its still very heartwarming and funny.

I did some reports and then left the thread because I had to run some errands, but I literally cannot believe (I mean... I can believe, but y'know) there's not a single even warning in that thread. I only very rarely go over to the gaming side and this is 100% why, but also the fact that they refuse to moderate gaming side like at all (unless it's console warring which we all know is the most important issue of all time) because they don't want to alienate the bigoted users is just... ugh.

Because right now, and I'm aware this isn't something a lot of people want to hear, but our staff team is wearing thin. Most of us are exhausted, mentally, emotionally, simply because this job, in essence just is. We are often confronted to the worse this forum has to offer, on a daily basis, and it takes a toll on us all sooner or later. I remember someone in a post mentioning the fact that we have to take the higher ground and be willing to take any kind of criticism at all times, and that's generally the mindset I'm coming from indeed. However, that also generally leaves me drained, with poor mental-health, and needing regular breaks from moderating (or from even interacting with the forum as a whole) just to recenter myself and feel good enough again. This is, in big part, the reason of our staff turn-over. People get burned out doing this, and end up leaving because they couldn't handle it anymore. This is how we lost many of our minority mods as well (because the mental and emotional toll on us is very often THAT much bigger than for the rest of the team), who often are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to replace. I myself have already thought about quitting the staff team half a dozen times in less than a year already. The apparently common sentiment that mods are easily recruited, and that they easily agree to become staff, and dedicate their time and energy to this forum, is sadly far from our actual reality, and the reason why it makes any single departure that much harder to handle.

You know how everyone likes to laugh (or be disgusted) at Xenoblade 2 character design?  Hope you didn't watch the superbowl half time show, this could almost be DLC for the game.  Everything has to keep getting racier and racier I guess (don't forget the twerk off).   At least she has human proportions I suppose, unlike Xenoblade 2.

I think it certainly doesn't help the situation imo when one of the most watched television shows does something like that.  I'm sure people look at that and use it as a bar in some way as what's acceptable.  But it's not just the superbowl, you see that kind of in a lot of prime time media, especially anything to do with modern concerts.

I was staff here for eighteen months. In that time I had to try to become an expert on criminal cases with no clear conclusions, on controversies in every industry, on cultural expectations across different continents, on major historical events I'd not heard of previously, on personalities I didn't follow, and on geopolitical conflicts nobody has ever solved. I would stay up late reading about topics that I knew were in the news, asking for feedback from people more familiar with the issue, and convening with the rest of the staff who were all doing the same to try to understand as much about an issue before we passed judgement. As much as people want to believe it is, this is not easy to do. This is very stressful, very draining, and you do it knowing that people will not be happy with you no matter what. You're criticized for not being fast enough, or people misrepresent the actions you took and why, and you will always be the bad guy no matter what.

People have this image of free-wheeling or rogue moderators who just moderate in accordance of their opinions. But I had to get so far in to complex situations and process so much information and perspective that I don't even have my own opinion on some things anymore.

If you want to live in a society, you have to play by society’s rules.  That includes doing what’s necessary to keep everyone safe even if it means taking a little personal risk yourself.  If everyone did what was only best for them all the time we’d be much worse off than we are now.

Yes, I'd agree that being vaccinated (if you can) is part of the social contract, but being vaccinated doesn't stop you catching or transmitting the virus, so measures like everybody taking a test before entering a venue would not only be more effective, but also wouldn't be as divisive.

A pandemic is an extraordinary scenario, so to some extent extraordinary measures must occur, but that doesn't mean you can (or should) ignore all the reasons why ceding full authority to the government over personal liberty and responsibility shouldn't be done lightly for the sake of expediency.

That's quite the opening post

It's the same one from the last two threads.  Nobody reads that OP.

cuz the OPs usually pretty lightweight "Here you scum, do your scum discussions" then gets populated with choice quotes as the thread rolls

That’s fair, but at this point vaccinations are basically an additional tool to help keep people from getting so sick that they need an extended stay in the hospital and clog up the system for your garden variety medical issues that can’t be solved as quickly as getting a few shots.  It’s not even like mandatory vaccines are a new issue, at least in the US you can’t even go to public school without having every shot under the sun so I don’t even see it as a new limit on personal freedom but merely an extension of one we’ve all largely ceded already.  The fact that it’s being tied to employment sucks sure, but wouldn’t be necessary if people just did the right thing from the get go.  States even tried bribing people with lotteries and straight up paid people to get vaccinated and we still have hold outs.  The carrot didn’t work so now it’s time for the stick

I mean... the nurses being threatened with losing their jobs if they don't get vaccinated are the same nurses that were working throughout the pandemic so I can't say the carrots been all that carroty for them, and I also can't help but suspect at least a few probably do have some kind of natural immunity if they've still not caught it.

e: either way, there's a lot of nuance as to why you can be in favour of vaccinations but not mandatory ones, and as per usual when incelchief has encountered a topic too intellectually challenging and where they don't have a preformed twitterati opinion, they revert to just shitting the thread up by being 'wacky'

Also I am absolutely howling at this thread, these jokers don't know that being anti mandatory vaccines and passports does not equate to being anti vax.

After arguging about whether or not a letter in Resident Evil hints that Chris is in fact gay.

I’m not trolling, but thanks for the dog pile.

I’ve been discussing this subject on Chris on this site, and the one before it, literally for years. I have no idea who you two are, and you certainly don’t know me.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Inappropriate commentary surrounding pedophilia

Is any guy who's attracted to her a pedophile? 🤔

If she gets with a guy who has the same condition as her, are they BOTH pedophiles? 🤔

If they make a porn vid together, is it CP? 🤔

And the most important ethical question of all, can she get child pricing at buffets? 🤔

You missed the recent events- this thread will be moved back as soon as I get a chance to do some stuff.  I think I'm just going to re-open the previous one and put it back.

It's back.
