VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

Wait...THIS is what Tom was freaking out about?

KKK witches" --> "ACQ witches"

    This is the most egregious change IMHO, and is one that I kind of turned into Senran Kagura censorship debate: the sequel. The original was a parody of "NKK switches," a Japanese light switch manufacturer based out of Akihabara. I personally felt "KKK witches" was pretty funny for its shock value, but when I mentioned it to my coworkers, they... were not as amused. For various reasons (some of which do include legitimate localization concerns, but most of which involved personal offense, worries over offending others, or worries over stores not carrying the game due to this "controversial" inclusion), they were insistent upon the name being changed. And of course, I fought this as best as I could, since I saw the forceful change of this as an act of censorship (minor though it be, and even understandable though it be). In the end, however, it was Acquire themselves who voluntarily changed it to "ACQ witches"... sort of. We only ever got as far as emailing them to let them know that the KKK is a well-known abbreviation for a hate group in America, and asking them if the name "KKK witches" had any specific meaning in Akiba's Beat, and the conversation never progressed beyond that point before Acquire simply changed the sign text and sent us a new build. Because of this, calling this an "act of censorship" is indeed rather questionable -- though not unwarranted, I feel, since (1) we would've asked them to change it if they hadn't done so voluntarily, (2) our email did not directly ask them to change it, but... I mean, how else were they supposed to interpret us asking about it at all? And (3) the Japanese version still retains the "KKK witches" moniker, with the change only made to all English versions. It is due to this change, and specifically due to my initial misconception that we'd directly asked the devs to change it, that I asked to have my name removed from the credits of Akiba's Beat, and thus -- in accordance with company policy, which I was well advised of beforehand -- removed from XSEED's company credits altogether, meaning I will not be appearing in the credits of any future XSEED title. Ken was willing to let me post about this publicly, as with my previous grievance regarding the removal of character ages in Senran Kagura, but he insisted I cite the policy in question so you guys know exactly why my name will not be appearing in XSEED titles from here on out:

I'd pick the post about the guy bragging of the great breasts of a 12 year-old he had sex with in one of his young escapades. More amusing for the mildly conflicted reaction than anything.

[Boredfrom]

That is the main problem with supporting Tom on this one, it was clearly a throwaway  juvenile joke that the debs probably thought less in doing it than Tom in justifying it. There is way other stuff to get worked up about maintain one true to the original work, specially if you are going to end using and losing all your influence in that.

That was a pretty bad concussion that he got.  I'd want a few million after taxes, unlimited flights on United/Oneworld, and to be able to board before anyone else.  Even the pilots.  Even the crippled kids.  In fact I get to hit the crippled kids with their own canes.

I mean, isnt that mod bot post or attitude a perfect reflection of the sentiment of this thread?

 

Yeah but that's there and we're here.

[clothedmacuser]

A transphobe can claim even handedness or that they're just sharing their opinion but that kind of ideal and support of similar rhetoric results in policy and laws that destroy trans rights, encourage hatred and lead to deaths.

The man in the commercial says "That's not right, you can't, you know, you're a man be a man, or you're a female be a female."  And that makes him complicit in the murder of trans people.

[Shuri]

I don't get how people get scared by videogames like that one dude on neogaf and Bloodborne. I just don't get it at all. It's just polygons. Grown adults avoiding games out of fears of the monsters in them.. 

[clothedmacuser]

Across the ocean, in Chechnya, LGBTQ+ are being incarcerated, striped from their families and murdered for an identity they didn't choose. I can't take transphobia as a simple different opinion. It's born from a gross ignorance of the world. By all means, people are free to argue for their humanity but something has already gone severely wrong if that is an argument in the first place

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=234967771#post234967771


Once again, a British man says "That's not right, you can't, you know, you're a man be a man, or you're a female be a female," and now he's a camp guard in Chechnya.

On some level, that heineken thread is neogaf not understanding normal social interaction, so they disbelieve an ad that goes on the idea that people can humanize each other by interacting.

or in GAF speak "Your reaction says more about you than the ad, tho."

[clothedmacuser]

It's because conversation alone isn't enough. The problem with simply talking with someone who wants you dead, thinks you are an animal, or wants to actively go against your civil rights is that there's no reason for them to care or change.

Once again, the three people are a climate change denialist, a guy who thinks "men should be men and female be female," and a MRA douche.  But obviously they want everyone dead, labeled inhuman, or protest your civil rights.


If my uncle joe said he doesn't think minorities should get AA on college acceptance they would say he wants to kill, murder, rape them.

[stufte]

GAF doesn't deserve peace. They don't want it anyhow, they just want to be angry and offended.

The only reason to drink a beer with a fucking nazi is so when you're done you can smash the fucking glass over his empty ass head.

I'm pretty sure no one in that commercial is a Nazi.

Remember: if someone says something disagreeable, they are nazis. Get with the modern political discourse, Stro.

How Nazis went from ultimate evil to hordes to get mowed down in games and something you call strangers who don't like the same brand of jeans as you is the weirdest shit.

GAF managed to dumb down what being a fucking Nazi is.

It takes something special to accomplish that.

If he wanted to be permed, all he had to do was ask. Pretty sure he's on a few mods' shitlists, so they would have happily obliged him. Or better yet, stop posting entirely. Making your exit as dramatic as possible is just a waste of energy and will be quickly forgotten anyway.

My stance on the matter:

Gaf acts like they're like a fucking squad of righteousness that fights all evil in the world, but they can't be confronted with a simple truth of collusion. Instead they automatically deflect that sort of criticism. How can you have the nerve to talk about real life problems and how to solve them if you can't even put besada out of commission for the pm leaks, lol.

I agree for the most part but Amnesia was legit scary.

A lot of media substitutes "jump scare" for "frightening" and that always pushes me a way.  Startling me with loud noises is not scary.  It's just annoying.

Add Roseanne Barr to the GAF "garbage people" trash heap, apparently. Even though her TV show progressively normalized gay and lesbian relationships to a prime time audience.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=235059760&postcount=77

Wonder how Barr feels about Sarah Gilbert coming out?

Considering her brother and sister are gay and are the main reasons she pushed for gay characters in her show, I'd guess she'd be just fine with it. Moron.

roseanne was such a good show

i can't believe mark is dead

He didn't die. He went to college and is now Leonard on the Big Bang Theory spinoff. Shit, even Becky's aunt and sister are there too.

Maybe it's Becky who died. 

[Great Rumbler]

Do you mean to tell me that Roseanne Barr is a human being with complicated, sometimes contradictory views that don't perfectly align with NeoGAF's liberal utopia?

[zomgee]

While that alone is disgusting, she is far more toxic than just being a simple Trump supporter.

Polygon is the Bobby Roberts of video games

Again, the article is pretty clearly referring to the stage production where an all-white group introduced the game and waxed lyrical about the importance of diversity. The fact that nobody stopped to ask why not one of the presenters reflected the diversity they were talking about suggests that they think of it as important to their customers, but that it's not something they're particularly self-aware about.

So yes, the presentation was somewhat tone deaf, and that what the article is about. It's quite possible that the product and development team are a very different story. The article also acknowledged this, at least in terms of the forthcoming product. The headline is the real cringeworthy part. It's definitely in the click-bait category and misrepresents the point of the article.

GAF is an embarrassment on a more regular basis than Polygon, and isn't particularly self-aware about it.

The marketing in COD WW2 actually isn't diverse at all, at least so far.

This is dumb, though. Let's wait until the game comes out before we accuse it of using halfassed or ultimately regressive examples of "diverse" characters as nothing but a marketing gimmick.

That said, the nothing-but-WASP American protagonists are extremely disappointing. There were tons of non-white men in the US Army, like Italian Americans or Japanese Americans. Imagine a game following the 442nd Infantry Regiment, a unit composed almost entirely of Japanese American soldiers, who became the most decorated unit, for its size and time of service, in the history of American warfare. That unit, over the course of its service in WW2, experienced a replacement rate of 250%, which is goddamn horrifying.

Also, how the fuck hasn't there been a game about the 442nd Infantry Regiment already?

A game where you get to visit the mountains of Italy and southern France and get slaughtered. But everyone dying is Japanese-American, so it's...fun?
