It's fine to want a female black character but RE has to turn this again into some victimhood campaign about how "of course the black women are ignored" seemingly not caring that far more ignored ethnicities have found representation.

You expect me to applaud some basic fucking human recognition that SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE GAME REGARDLESS and should not even be a question as to whether those ethnicities should be included?

You don't applaud mediocrity.  You don't applaud the bare minimum.  It should be fucking baseline par-for-the-course at this point.  No I'm not going to cheer for underrepresented ethnicities playing second fiddle to the white man as usual.  Call me when Blizzard makes an AAA game where the entire cast is aboriginal, then I'll give a standing ovation.

Until that day, do better.

I'm actually quite annoyed at that whole discussion because of the prejudice against so called mixed characters that aren't 'good enough'. That's some hurtful shit that kids that come from two ethnicities have to deal with, being called "Oreos", "Bananas", etc. And the people who usually are leading the charge for  'diversity' never think what their language they are using are actually saying.

User Banned (3 Days): Dismissing other members' concerns about representation
Like others have said, Overwatch has a lot of diversity. More than most games I'd say.

It's simply impossible to make everyone happy. People need to realize this.

There are also other races and ethnicities that aren't represented in Overwatch, but you don't see them complaining.

In fact, there are a lot of races and ethnicities not represented in games at all.

It is unrealistic to expect Blizzard to add every single race and ethnicity in the game. Blizzard has done a good job with its diverse cast of heroes.

That this copped a ban is an absolute fucking joke.
Why even pretend to allow discussion on sensitive topics if you're going to drop the ban hammer on anyone who dares to suggest that, you know, maybe some posters on Era are maybe not demanding things 'in good faith' or pushing an agenda.

You might as well just put Read OP: Blizzard are obviously racist and suggesting otherwise will get actioned and make it clear to everyone you don't give 2 shits about actual discussion

User Banned (5 Days): History of characterizing concerns surrounding inclusivity as insincere

Quote
It's just become exhausting to have these conversations when people are so quick to go straight for the throat. I don't blame those who are upset over representation, what they feel are their real feelings. I just don't feel like the conversation will ever lead to anything better than "let's drag these people for this thing."

"It'd always be great if there was more diversity, but I feel like these type of threads are dominated by kneejerk acusations of intolerance"

"No they don't. And guess what you're banned now you racist"

North Africans, Central Africans (what most people mean when they say Africans), West, East and Southern Africans are pretty different. Can't think of any non Northern African chars in video games except for Sheva, to be honest though she reminds me more of a Londoner than a west african

Alright, ResetERA.com, listen up, if you don't want to be doxxed, the race to become the first user to post regarding "technomasculinity" starts now: https://pjmedia.com/trending/study-claims-men-who-play-video-games-perpetuate-technomasculinity/
Quote
A new study published by University of Idaho professor Robin Johnson argues that men who work in video game development, play video games, or who are simply passionate about gaming may in fact be perpetuating “technomasculinity.”

Johnson writes in the new piece “Technomasculinity and Its Production in Video Games” that after interviewing 20 video game developers, he discovered that “technomasculnity” is rampant in the gaming industry, hurting women and LGBTQ people in the process.
Quote
In his study, Johnson traces the development of technomasculinity in men from an early age. One man’s technomasculinity allegedly started when “his father [took] him to his government job and [allowed] him to play simple computer games.”
Quote
“Gender is socially organized in the West in a hierarchized binary differentiating men and women along supposedly natural or biological masculine and feminine traits,” said Johnson.

“The association between technology, masculinity, and what we think of as skilled work is still fundamental to the gendered division of labor,” and thus, the oppression of women and the gender pay gap, he added.

Any man who likes video games, plays video games, or develops video games is at risk of perpetuating technomasculnity — which, like all other forms of masculinity — allegedly hurt women by its mere existence.

“If you take gender away from the equation, there is nothing wrong with being able to demonstrate technical mastery,” Johnson told PJ Media.

“But as a form of masculinity it tends to exclude women from being seen as legitimate technically skilled individuals. Because being technically skilled is seen as masculine, you end up with the following associations: men = masculine = technically skilled, while women women = feminine = not technically skilled... that is a negative consequence.”
bonus points if you're apologizing for your role in perpetuating it in the process

To me, Blizzard is starting to look like they have a lot to answer for, quite frankly:
Quote from: Nepenthe
Overwatch is great for representation. But it is not perfect, and arguably can never be, and I will directly quote Lindsay Ellis from her Pocahontas video as to why:

"The legacy of colonialism is baked into every facet of every culture on the planet."

The authenticity and quality of representation will always be murky and debatable because the lens with which we view representation of minorities in works not directly made by those people will inherently be made in a context built upon cultural norms that accept white supremacy as a status quo. In that vain, representation is not necessarily a concrete goal, an objective number or concept with which you can target with precision. It is an on-going process, one mechanism among many with which we use to help bang out the kinks of society. You don't ever nail it. You simply get better at it as society continues the march towards a world in which European colonialism is a horror of the past.

If we're going the route of asking whose definition is being used here, I will say right now the American one. I understand people complain about ERA's Americanism, but Overwatch is an American game by American developers played mainly by Americans and is a game trying to provide inclusivity from an American lens. We actually have some clout here.

Ana and Pharah express absolutely nothing in terms of the sociopolitical ramifications of "black culture." They were born in an Arabic country, they speak Arabic, they dress in Arabic clothing, have Arabic voice actresses, and have not- as far as we know in lore- have had to engage in or deal with any of the systemic issues that black Egyptians actually face.

From my distinctly American perspective. Lucio is unmistakably black all day long. Ana and Pharah are Arabic people.

So, they're saying that a black guy who grew up in Egypt wouldn't be really black  :derp

Capcom loves the number 3? Maybe they Could teach valve a few things about that number.
Being a GAMER during the Street Fighter II Era somehow makes this post and the others copying it stupidly funny.

It's also depressingly amusing in retrospect that II -> CE -> Turbo -> Super -> Super Turbo -> Alpha -> Alpha 2 -> III was only six years.

Take a look at this list.

Yesterday, Not even a day passed, they were all in my thread shitposting, downplaying, and gas lighting about the topic at hand.

What is the common denominator between this thread and mine? It deals with concerns coming from a Black perspective. This is fucking ridiculous and its pretty much come to a head.

Clearly someone felt their comments were out of line to ban them but once again ERA can't commit to making a better site than what else is available on the web. These posters see the word 'Black' and come running to stir shit, and time and time again, moderation gives them a few days timeout. They come right back to board and continue the same shit.

Look at how many people you banned in this thread, You think their gonna change? You think they'll be more receptive next time? That ban taught em a good lesson?

Is this how you all want to run the site? Is the standard white male gamer perspective the default that needs to be protected?

We had an embarrassing thread with WomenERA being bombarded with male posters completely ignoring their views. That's okay here on ERA too?


Its pretty damn disappointing. How are black moderators suppose to feel about this like Nepenthe and Slayven? Im sure they are well aware of these clowns who constantly stir shit and have to see them come back time and time again and make this board even shittier for everyone.

Im speaking for myself, but I know I aint alone in this thought. Posters are tired of this crap. Take out the fucking trash for once. It smells. It reeks in here.

You want to send me a notification about ERA 2.0 and goddamn emojis but you can't even commit to making a board with friendlier discourse between diverse people.

Its embarrassing, it truly is. What is the gameplan? What is the plan of action? Ignore it? Thats how we got here. You ignored action and now the board is astroturfed with alts and people taking the piss out of the community. Its all a fucking joke for them.


No, Im not going to PM you. Im going to post publicly so people can see wtf is going on and what we can expect as a response.

Ball is in your court. Ready to play?

PS: A perm for me and Racism getting 3 days proves my point.

This like the 3rd or 4th he has blown up on site staff with no repercussions

I think  their administration realizes they have some legitimately unhinged mentally ill members and don't know what to do about it.

They might want to start with their own staff first.

I can't wait for DigitalOP to get banned and the inmates to take over the asylum

Why does every black dude on a video game message board think they are Malcom X or some shit?

He's confused because his account suicide didn't work. He doesn't realize he has special immunity - like when Voldemort killed Harry Potter but the Deathly Hallows kept him alive

- No positional tracking
- Asymmetrical controllers non-conducive to VR games
- Jamming a thick 1080p monitor in your face
- Underpowered, underclocked system
- 2-3 hour battery
- Other logistical nightmares

Dude can't work out how timestamps works, but he want's to tackle and dismantle institutionalized racism by BEING LOUDER!
