It's actually a tough situation, from the sidelines at least. Because when someone is accused of something, I generally want to see the evidence before I decide they did it. But with cp accusations, I don't want to see the evidence, so how can I know if 8chan is really what RE says it is?

In the case of Amir0x, investigators looked at his computer and said, "Yep, he has cp." And I can trust those investigators, so I can join in on the "Yeah, he needs to go to jail" sentiment.

But with this 8chan business, I don't trust anyone from 8chan to admit if they host cp, and I don't trust RE to accurately state how things are over there. So it's best to just shrug about the situation and not chime in.

I do think that given there are so many of us that don't know a lot about 8chan, it's very believable that THQ really didn't know what they were getting into.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Sexism; History of Similar Behavior and Previous Severe Infractions

She wants to enjoy all the benefits of having been a porn star without facing the reality that she was a porn star.

Also, the good news is that she got her boobs fixed. Remember how her boobs looked just like Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ eyes? That’s been corrected.

You're some fucking petty assholes era mods.
When you banned this guy for being on the receiving end of a dogpile calling him a racist for saying that the initial Jussie Smollett reports seemed off - which history has fucking backed up and then some - there weren't any "Previous severe infractions" mentioned.
So the previous sever infractions amount to you banning him for fucking bullshit reasons in the first place.

So you're using previous bullshit ban reasons, to justify this bullshit ban reason.

(Image removed from quote.)

They banned him for mentioning her tits needing corrective surgery.  There was a thread about Jonah Hill's weightloss, with everyone mentioning how his loose skin made his tits droop.  People were making fun of it for pages.  Nobody seemed to care.  But now it's sexism.  K.

Havent seen anything with her in it (yes fuck off i generally dont watch porn) someone link pics of these weird tits for science

[Kunai With Chain]

EvilLore has absolutely nothing to do with ResetEra. And GAF was absolutely shaped by his influence.

There may well be progressive people on that site, but they're congregated around the work of two assholes. There may even be some good people still working there, as there certainly were in the past. I used to do events benefiting Child's Play (the Penny Arcade charity), and the women who ran that organization at the time (I think their names were Jamie and Kristin?) were just the nicest and most helpful human beings anyone could ever ask for. They even retweeted our events on the official account when we were literally just a pair of high school kids running a livestream out of my basement. The difference between them and their shitty bosses was enough to give you whiplash.

I actually supported Destructoid for a long time for a similar reason – i.e., because there were many people who worked there (like the excellent reviewer Chris Carter) that seemed like genuinely good guys. But I unfollowed them and deleted my account to start off my 2019. I can't support them anymore, because even browsing the site with an Adblocker felt like tacitly supporting that scumbag owner Niero the more and more I thought about it. And I can't support the Penny Arcade forum because, in my mind, doing so supports those scumbags James & Mike. [Huh; what an odd coincidence that those are the same names as the Cinemassace guys...]

 

You stopped working in a charity because the bosses of your bosses made dickwolve jokes?

Edit: lol, he edited the last part:

And I can't support the Penny Arcade forum because, in my mind, doing so supports those scumbags Mike & Jerry.

How much he cares about their bad behavior that doesn’t even remember their names.

Good thing he got that pot shot at James Rolfe, the massive sexist who decided he was not gonna watch the Ghost Busters reboot.

Also what's their beef with destructoid? Lately they are the only ones whose review I check because they review these niche Jap games and don't spend the whole review crying about 'socially problematic' themes. It did make me subconsciously wonder if they were some gamergate outfit now tbh.

I'm in the same boat but I feel that if 8chan was that kind of cp central that RE makes it out to be it would have been shutdown by the law by now and not just temporarily delisted by google

So I had already decided to boycott THQ Nordic games, and this thread just reminded me to take some steps to make that easier.

Steam gives the ability to selectively ignore content from creators. Quick and dirty steps here: https://imgur.com/a/pNlgwde

Anyone else have some tools, or measures we can personally take to hide/delete THQ Nordic content from our storefront, and social media feeds?

Thanks for letting people know about this feature. I just added them to my Ignored list.

Also used the "Report" function, which probably won't do anything, but hey, worth a shot. I'm pretty sure 8chan violates the Steam ToS.

It can't be Gamergate 2 because I don't think any site other than Reset really cares. I checked a few forums just now and discussion is muted, even /v/ doesn't have any threads about it at the moment, which means that if there aren't any further developments it's not struck any nerves with the usual morons that do the culture war brigading. It's just a non starter. Most people think the PR guy should be fired or reprimanded but the calls to action stop there.

[ResetBanBot]

Hecht did a fine job laying out a narrative everyone needs to abide by, no more pesky polls that allowed dissidents to slickly avoid mod actioning. I can only imagine the unbridled rage going on in some backroom ResetEra Discord. I wish I could see those chat logs.

Repeating CP like a mantra designed to send people in a blind rage is a strong strategy. It's very brave how they don't let the fact that former NeoGAF moderators are allowed on ResetEra, despite attempting to cover for a now-convicted pedophile. Really, I think this is just another GooberGaber special fellow-out from Ree Era. At what point do they just follow in the steps of Dan Olson and start uploading CP themselves?

Sorry for the trip but as expected this didn't get any sort of traction.

Youtuber accused of having some sort of potential dogwhistle in a video = We need to have every Youtube user registered and handled to the police if necessary !

Loli art on the internet = We shouldn't allow any whiff of sexuality for characters under 15 (maybe even 20) in fictional works no matter the intent, message or context.

THQ Nordic does an AMA on 8chan = Everyone in that company is complicit, destroy thousands of jobs to rectify this if need be.

Huawei being suspected of spying on the behalf of Chinese authorities (despite some of those claims having been debunked) = Ban them from all First World markets !

You know, as I know, as presumably everyone on Era knows who has spent half a second thinking about it knows, that every single shootbang game containing real world weaponry is paying the real world arms manufacturers a licence fee to use those guns.
But that's also okay, for the verisimilitude.

[Propagandhim]

When I was 7 years old, I was kidnapped and forced into child prostitution for a couple of months. During that time, a majority of the things that happened to me were recorded and store on tapes, said tapes have since been uploaded online and are currently swimming around the dark web. 8chan is a website known to link child pornography in their site, a site where I'm sure a few people in it likely have access to those videos of me being raped as a kid and have watched it many times.

How do you think I feel about THQ Nordic? To see them bluntly advertise this site and leaving a link to said site for over 15 hours, to known that there is a chance, even a small one, that more people now have access to those videos, that more people are watching them right now, how do you think I feel about this?

I'm never giving them business again, ever.

I've always been curious about that, if they actually paid fees, how it was handled (some popular videogame guns are from defunct companies or never went beyond prototypes, some famous designs were shared between companies in different countries under different designation) or if guns manufacturers were just happy with all of the massive publicity. I'd imagine they give their consent to the reproduction of their guns (The Ace Combat series specifically mentions licences for some of the fighter plane manufacturers).

At any rate, if you're so inclined as to ponder this sort of thing, you'd think it would come up more often.

Hahahahaha the poll thread was rebooted when it was obvious most of the people voting said it wouldn’t impact future purchases.  The “correct” narrative needed to be established.

Its interesting that Commandant Hecht declares as fact

There is generally broad agreement that the people involved should lose their positions.

...but is there though?
Is this a thing the majority of people genuinely want to see people lose their jobs over?
Obviously nobody can come out and say this, because of Downplaying Actions Of a Hate Group, Dismissing Other Users Concerns, History Of Prior Severe Infractions is now established, but would a poll saying:

     Should someone be fired because of this?
           - NO - everyone makes mistakes, and I don't see why someone should lose their job over this. They already apologised. Don't be that "I demand to see your supervisor" asshole.
           - YES - I want to see someone get fired, fuck outta here. Until someone suffers I'm not content.

definitely be so lopsided and bloodthirsty for someones career? I'm honestly not that sure.

Also is this THQ thing GamerGate 2? I don’t see anything about it anywhere but here

This is way better than #gamergate.
All the ardent twitter commandos had to march under as a flag of zealous righteousness was "don't be a dick to women". They've got "don't endorse CP" with this one, because by the Era transitive property:
didn't know about CP -> tacitly condoning CP -> actively endorsing CP
which is why they've now landed at anyone who isn't with them supports paedophilia.
So they're now justified in any actions they take to fight paedophilia.

They've basically declared they're going to shit up every topic by any game published by THQ from now until whenever their demands (whatever their demands are) are met.
Pretty sure if they haven't started harassing people on Twitter yet, its only a few more days of impotent rage away, to score points.
Any media news by any media outlet is going to get shitted up with "yeah, but fuck them they support CP".

This is going to be a great way for the Era faithful to bond further, and isolate themselves from all other gaming communities.
Sure, the Era mods might be corrupt, inconsistent, play favorites, hypocritical, humourless assholes. But at least they fight CP!

Further evidence is provided by French company Cybergun, one of the most successful BB gun manufacturers in the world. It acts as an intermediary between gun and game makers, negotiating the licensing of weapons in games on behalf of brands including Uzi, Kalashnikov, Colt, FAMAS, FN Herstal, Sig Sauer, Mauser and Taurus.

I think having these vote threads are a bad idea. They just show how little actual impact there for stuff like that. Just like in the Atlus voting thread, in the it just causes more friction in the community here, and turning people on each other over moral policing, rather than showing that the community is united on showing a publisher something is not okay. Because the reality is that there isn't any unity, and companies will continue to get away with whatever as long as they make games people want to buy. Exposing that further with actual statistics will just make people who feel strongly about this more upset and demoralized.
