another thread exposing how depressingly old the forum is for their behavior

The first video game system I owned was a Sega Pico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Pico

We've finally reached the root of the problem Shosta.

Personally I always felt like people with disabilities or facial deformities should be represented more. Missing limbs has been done a few times but often its more of a gimmick in character design. The facial deformities one is reaaaaaaally tough because ugly characters in videogames are so easy to find and so easy to make fun of, with glitches or just poorly made/animated games. Theres only a few studios in a position that could handle it well and actually capture an audience with the right tone of their game too. eg what if in The Last of Us ,  Ellie is kinda deformed from the fungus, benign but with some strange side effects after however many years.



Its kinda disappeared from movies too, but I remember watching ages ago where the message was you know look past the exterior. Everyones gotta be pretty nowadays.

No thanks.  Moreso than race, that's something I won't play or buy.

Looks matter, just like in real life

Just one month for that. No wonder the physically deformed are leaving the site in droves.

It's the secret nazi plot that makes us look stupid. It's the nazis that make my life miserable. It's the nazis that make people ignore me. It's because of the nazis that I stepped on a Lego yesterday.

He was banned for racism, because they read into his comment that race was a reason he wouldn't play or buy a game.

At least the users are beginning to realize how the mods are coddling the alt-right by refusing to permaban them, inform all their social media contacts and also inform their place of employment:

One month. Sigh...

Seeing all the gaming sites that reported on this story having to issue updates because they didn't bother to do any legwork to confirm details was hilarious. They saw something that reinforced their preconceive notions ("gamers" are alt-right/sexist/racist/Nazis) and ran with it without a second thought. Not very professional, I'd say.

Further plot twist: the guy who wrote the Kotaku article and jumped the gun before all the facts were out and had to write a second article is Nathan Grayson, the guy who wrote an article about Zoe Quinn while fucking her and thus kicked off Gamergate

Speculation about the mysterious lives of players will happen as long as society maintains and encourages parasocial relationships with people they've never met, but I genuinely do not believe any of this would happen to this extent if Ellie's name was Steve and she was a man. I don't think it's even arguable that it would. Even if she wasn't who she says – a claim for which there is zero evidence but let's engage the hypothetical – what right does anyone else really have to know? The claims of esports being a meritocracy where anyone can be good enough to be a part of the club as long as they can play have long been suspect, but this saga essentially proves them wrong. It is no longer about whether you can play, it's about whether you can prove yourself worthy of the onus we put upon you.

This top 500 player showed up out of nowhere suddenly and refused to reveal their real name like every other top player, and refused to take part in any impromptu voice discussions for "personal reasons"

If this was a movie everyone would be complaining that the writing is terrible because the plot is sooo obvious

Diversity, inclusiveness and LGBT issues have been used as a cudgel to hit and destroy the traditional family and its values, so I am in for their abolishment from the public discourse as some where more than happy to see the abolishment from the public discourse of church.

You'll find similar contradictions in Cuba despite being consistently more nominally progressive than most places. (Sex change is eligible to universal healthcare funding but gay oppression was certainly a thing many years into Fidel's grip.).
I mean in retrospect the ball for gay rights only started really rolling for a little half a century or so even in the "First World" (with repelling sodomy laws and such), if I'm not mistaken and only accelerated to granting "marriage" only quite recently.
