Oh boy, offensive to trans people and Apple critics !? Noah is dead ! 

Noah made a couple of segments clearly advocating for transgender rights during the WC debate. But apparently larger context doesn't count for fuck anymore... I haven't watched the skit mentioned but it seem pretty clear to me that the idea is to mock, and I say this as someone who thinks Apple are huge fuckers to consumers, what is essentially a first world problem being blown to hyperbolic proportions through the lens of Internet ?

A poor gag isn't shutting down the advocacy of consumer's rights, come on now.

In a world where people who are transgender are literally murdered for being themselves, I'm not sure making jokes about probably the most oppressed minority group in history is "hypersensitive".

I don't want to partake in Victimization Olympics, as suffering is not a commodity that can be quantified but

EDIT : I watched the video. Gaf thread is even more   in retrospect.
Noah do riff on Apple and its invoked "courage", in fact the segment is built upon the pretentiousness & faux-progressiveness Apple and tech companies like to drape in, so the claim it is viciously browbeating Apple critics is fairly ridiculous as well.

I get the feeling that most people in that thread didn't actually watch the show to get a better idea about what they so furiously discussing upon...

It's such a weird coincidence that the same exact GAFfers who get outraged whenever anyone dares to suggested that there's anything such as "outrage culture" that some people enthusiastically participate in or that GAF has social studies warriors stereotypes are filling that thread with hysteria and ulterior motives accusations over a comedy show botching a joke when held to impossible standards.

This guy is a top favorite:

Trevor Noah reduced the plight of trans people by comparing it to a relatively trivial issue.

Dave Chappelle quit his own show because the show became too offensive, don't talk about this show like you know more than I do about it.

People should be less inclined to tell jokes, especially bad and/or offensive jokes, about marginalized groups. Very often, jokes like these elicit laughter against trans people, even when the jokes were not intended to elicit such a thing. In an equal society, bring on such jokes, but I always become frustrated by the notion that the first step to equality is to tell trans people to be okay with being the butt of a joke in a society that hates them.

Also, good to see excelsiorlef never breaking character.

I don't really believe in ignore listing unless it's like somebody whose just unpleasant in a lot of ways and the fill threads. For example, even on a libertarian forum everyone I have ignore listed except for one semi-spammer/troll is people I should mostly agree with, but they're annoying fucks who wage endless page long semantic fisking wars and the like and will drop like a hundred replies off of one persons three paragraph post. None of the progressives or even self-proclaimed socialist trolls I block because as some people may have noticed sometimes I like to lift other people's language and try to construct an argument they would plausibly make using it. But also because they don't do that shit, especially since they're more often trying to just drive-by. Plus GAF is too large to bother. Just scroll. And on quality over quantity forums like The Bore it's hard to get riled up.

I hope I don't come off as angry or upset about some of these GAFfers, if it's not because they're funny in their obsessiveness with this stuff sometimes, it's more of kind of a social observation. It's a form of sociology I suppose. A lot of thread garbage happens when people misread the social milieu expecting a favorable audience.

And the flocking behavior on forums has always fascinated me. GAF's deal where people will dogpile and quote a thousand times one poster and even get into premature gloating of that persons "doom" is interesting. Especially when they expect the lone outlier poster to defend xhirself against all comers.

There's also an interest to me in the ebb and flow of what's acceptable. Once favorable posters can instantly become persona non grata when the horde latches on. And it's almost hilarious at how paranoid and suspicious of motives people can be.

Of course, I happily read comments attached to articles and even youtube videos. So maybe I'm not the best voxsplainer on this subject.

Sounds like it's no charge to the consumer but developers and publishers will be charged as a PS4 Pro patch will require the game to be re-certified. Considering Sony rode dev goodwill hard by claiming there would be no certification charges for patches and updates past the one time QA certification fee to get the game released back in 2013, this one's got indie devs and smaller publishers riled up on twitter claiming they won't support Pro if this is the case.

I don't know, the translation is fairly confusing in itself but it's obvious that Kotaku would be asking about fees to customers by default if no other context is specified. Also the part about Sony first party studios only makes sense if we're talking a fee to costumers ? And why would patch or certification cost for "licensees" (publishers, I imagine) depend on their thinking ?

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised to see some PS4 Pro compliance patches be packaged as a "Remaster" DLC, if Sony allowed so...
EDIT : I mean some people are already saying they'd be OK with it.

Anyway, it's maybe just a bad case of bland-minimum-legal-commitment business lingo from the Sony exec.

Most of their mega hyped games were simply okay or outright shit, PSN is still shit with a price increase, the slim version of their competitor's console has more value than their Pro version, the PS4 Pro is incredibly hard to justify in any way.
