The Trevor Noah thread is fascinating now that Ree two favorite subjects (media representation and racial politics) collide in an non North American context and talking points don’t work the same way (or are reversed)

At least 5 people were banned in the world cup thread for making France/Africa comments.

I cant be bothered to open the Trevor thread, are they being hypocrites about it?

Hyper Hypocritical.

Trevor Noah shared a cartoon that would be considered “problematic” in that thread.

I feel like adding "inflammatory" to these lists of wrongdoing just means "I got mad reading this!" That's a you-problem, get yourself sorted out, chief.

If I was Cerium, Id be pissed my investment was being tanked by a crazy moderator.

Time to show SaltyNicole the door

Not sure if he can do that without a huge backlash on the Discord.

Because remember even if half the forum is banned the most hardcore REEEEE members still think the mods are too lenient and are allowing other members to get away with murder.

[benjipwns]

Maybe they'll start a new forum, progressive, transparent and with an inventive new way of moderating. Rather than the toxic anti-trans and racist GamerGate dominated shithole ResetERA has become.

[benjipwns]

So that everyone can get back to talking about what matters: how garbage the gaming community is.

[Transhuman]

Most communities are garbage. That's the reason they exist in the first place: some people can't function in society because they're fucked in the head in some way, so they join a community of people who are similarly fucked in the head.

I think you misunderstand me friend. I am a philogynist. A lover of women. I love women like philosophers love knowledge. From their form - all shapes and sizes -to the way they think, I worship them. I even go so far as to believe in matriarchy. All of my sexual partners I have understood intimately - I never do one night stands. Since I take intimacy extremely seriously during sex I bring myself in tune with them mentally and physically. Their pleasure is my pleasure. I try to play their body and mind like a musician would play a musical instrument. My focus is intensely on them and their wants and desires.

All of my Smash partners I have understood intimately - I never do one round fights. Since I take intimacy extremely seriously during gaming I bring myself in tune with them mentally and physically. Their defeat is my pleasure. I try to play their body and mind like a musician would play a musical instrument. My focus is intensely on them and their attacks and defenses.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Spreading rhetoric associated with hate and harassment movements

A rep posted this on the GOG subreddit;



The replies sure are something.

Someone posted this too. As if the actions of some individuals reflect the whole movement.

[Mod Edit: Removed links to Twitter linked to hate and harassment]

[benjipwns]

So yeah, I'm Konrad from that Reddit thread. Hello everybody!



This is kind of a spot-on interpretation of what happened. "The game is so crude so hey, let's go with this." Out of the two people who regularly work with our social accounts, neither of us was aware that it's far more deliberate and loaded imagery than just your run of the mill, bone-cutting, piss-on-journalism edge.

I gotta say, what gets me the hardest is stuff like "Oh, you guys took a stance but got bullied into apologizing".
I mean no – I'm sitting right here and it's not what happened, there was no stance, only a careless tweet. The outcry did make us aware of the implication. Good. Now we know and we're better for it.

Are you better enough to pull the game from your platform?

[benjipwns]

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10569056/

So did GoG remove the game since it contains Gamergate propaganda? The tombstone is still in the game am I correct?

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10569088/

Why would you think otherwise? Does GOG and CD Projekt have a history of pro-GG behaviour?

Actually, they do, GOG at least - they had a pro-GG thread for ages, as well as several blatant GG pandering groups/recommendations.

It is of course uncertain if that was because of valve-style uncaring ("let the gamers moderate themselves, we're not gonna moderate") or play-asia style active support. It could be either, and we will never know. I'm really trying to be charitable to them, and take them at their word (since the stance they took DID get them GGs opposition, which is good enough for me) - but the history is there, and we shouldn't ignore it outright.

It is all a shame, because I really want to *like* Gog. I want them to be the good competitor to Steam, you know? I would love to be able to recommend them unconditionally!

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10570971/

Highly doubt that's happening, as they obviously do not feel like the game, or its imagery, has any direct relation with the hate movement.

Then their "apology" means nothing.

alright, now we're going places

[benjipwns]

No offense, but I find it kind of hard to believe that you work in games PR and didn’t understand this reference. It’s pretty direct.

Gamergate is going into its 4th year next month. If you work in games, ESPECIALLY pr or marketing, it’s irresponsible not to be up on what’s happening.

A gif of someone pissing in a tombstone proclaiming that games journalism committed suicide in August 2014 should already have set off alarm bells for any normal person

Looking at the example from the situation behind this thread is a good case to look at: An image shows pissing on a grave with some words on it and a specific date. Looking up those words might be a good starting point to know what the context is. You're acting like this is an impossible standard, and you're being told by several people with varying degrees of specificity why it's not.

If you type the words "games journalism 2014" into Google, you would have easily gotten the info needed to dodge this situation within the first two results. If you searched "august 28 2014 games journalism," the first 100 results would make it very clear what was going on. Mistakes are possible, and if all you're saying is that, then I don't think anyone disagrees with you, but social media managers have best-practices for avoiding stuff like this. This situation was 100% avoidable.

[benjipwns]

I didn't know anything about GG before this thread, googled it and reading the wiki page is just painful.
Much love to Quinn and every one else harassed by those assholes, and hopefully [victims of GG] they're all living a happy normal life now.
Is there any organization or movement opposing GG? I would really like to give my support.
Seriously, Fuck GG and everyone who participated in their hate actions.

hero

For the average person, even a hardcore gamer, checking gaming forums, Twitter etc. on a daily basis. I don’t think they have the slightest idea what ‘Gamergate’ is. I myself have been gaming for 30 years and only seen the term on forums like GAF & ERA. Threads with thousands of responses I never clicked on.

MODS, BAN THIS FILTH FOR PAST CRIMES

Tbh I got a misogynist vibe from the witcher 3, couldn't really explain it.

I don’t believe the image in question would have meant anything to 99.9% of gamers beyond a silly joke about journalistic standards..

Which is where it's most insiduous. The modern methodology to spread right-wing ideology is to couch it in forms where a surface reading might look benign, but it has the dogwhistles there for those who are predisposed to those viewpoints - which in turn can lead people to innocently propogating it due to only seeing the surface.

I've seen this sort of thing happen before - fortunately not been guilty of that propogation myself, but come close on occasion - so I'm inclined to trust GoG when they're putting their hands up and claiming ignorance. That said, it does mean I'll view future postings with a little more of a critical eye as a result, just in case.

oh god i hope this thread goes for 80+ pages like the arenanet catastrophe

Hard hitting journalism!

[benjipwns]

Looks out of place but not sure what's not family friendly about it! Even by Nintendo standards, you can find way less family friendly stuff in Smash!

Does ERA..... never heard of Gravure idol? Or even play any VN???

For how much ERA accept Otome game which in its nature is controversial, the reaction on eroge game like nekopara is kinda shocking.

A lot of people can be shockingly racist when it comes to stuff like this. They assume it's the worst filth because it's foreign and they don't understand it.

Yeah, it doesn't seem so much like real concern, people are well aware there is a rating system and that the Switch or any console will block this kind of material from the use by children so long as their parents do their job of parenting. This seems more like the "OMG look at how backwards wacky that Japan is" concern trolling sort.

Coupled with “OMG Nintendo think of the children!”... as if similar stuff doesn’t exist on other storefronts.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/sam-harris-tweets-support-for-article-claiming-black-people-are-poor-because-of-their-culture.56611/

Sam Harris is racist for tweeting support for a BLACK undergrad's think piece but apparently the author isn't racist? or i'm not sure how this works.

Of course if you read the article there's nothing racist about it. It's simply suggesting that there's more to the wealth inequality amongst Black Americans than just slavery.

I love (read hate) that there is an entire cottage industry for people, who are too embarrassed to admit they're just plain old conservatives, to peddle conservatism under the guide of moderation or even in some cases "part of the left'

These folks know that conservatism is a tainted brand so they tap dance around the label and people buy it.

Just another way the overton window shifts to the right.
