Again, to be clear, I'm not saying there's any source of dogwhistling or racism on the part of the devs here, there 100% isn't. The name just makes me a little bit uncomfortable. That's all.

And it's not me being a snowflake or looking for something to be offended about. You look at the song "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, it's 100% a metaphor for how much life on the road sucks, it's not meant to be taken literally. In this case, the reverse is true, the title IS meant to be taken literally, you play as an Ape, you get out of your cage, and now you need to murder everything in sight.

Hell, even if you look past the name, the content should erase the possibility of any dogwhistling. You play AS THE APE. The Ape IS THE HERO. The humans are seen as THE BAD GUYS. If it was the reverse (you having to kill a bunch of lunatic escaped gorillas) then yeah, I'd have more of a problem, as if anything, if you want to make the content a metaphor for racism, it's AGAINST the racists and police brutality and FOR black people!

It's like if a game came out called "The Final Solution" where you play as a Jew in a Nazi death camp and have to try to escape. The name, on first glance, makes it sound like it supports antisemitism, but the content says otherwise.

Tl:dr: I jumped to a conclusion when I first saw the game and my mind went to the incorrect place, and I now see that I was wrong and apologize for bringing it up.

Let me introduce you to the next game on their hitlist:

Ape out

Chimp = A kind of Ape

Got damn keeping up with racist lingo is exhausting.

2. I agree that I'm probably making something out of nothing here. But I feel like other developers have done less and gotten more outrage.
Nah, that shit is suspect. Thanks for pointing it out. I’m def passing on this shit now just off GP.

Quote
The title is absolutely fucking inexcusable.

I love how 99% of the people in the thread were unware of the possible connotation and yet assume that the devs had to be fully aware. Why else would they call a game about a rampaging gorilla Ape Out??

The Ape Out thing is a Dhalsim level stretch, but you do you, Era. The best is the people who were like "I never heard the term Chimp Out before but now that I have it's time to muster up massive outrage". Is Toki: Going Ape Spit or Ape Escape now dogwhistles?

Them getting angry about 'Ape Out' is EXACTLY why the mods don't indulge them in banning games. If 'Ape Out' that is enough to trigger them, then what game can avoid the ban-hammer?

I was just listening to a radio piece about the #fakenews momo scandal

 - @momo stop terrifying my kids you piece of shit -

that the UK press have been ablaze with the last few days, and how the nominally reputable fact checking reputable mainstream press... well, fucking aren't fact checking, because they want those clicks and don't want to look like they're behind everyone else with the news, and a childrens internet safety expert or some shit used an amazing phrase why parents shouldn't freak the fuck out and stop their kids going online;

Digital Resilience.

That's what era lack. Digital fucking resilience. I can only assume their middle class parents had active netnanny subscriptions for most of their formative years.

Now, that's not to say I want kids being exposed to the kinds of heinous shit that exists online, but all I'll say is I've been tubgirled and it will take an awful fucking lot to shock me online now.

hey, why only be incredibly specific about the doxxing board on this website thats bad news and you're obviously completely unfamiliar with.
there are so many boards, you need to be incredibly specific about which ones are hosting all that other bad stuff, so era members know exactly what to avoid on the website they definitely dont visit.

Consistency is more important than politics, but for anita it seems to be the other way around.

I have a PSA too.


Test that all of the buttons work the day you get it.


It wasn't until I tried to play Dark Souls, that I found out that my left analog stick doesn't click in. So, I can't play with lock-on unless I use a pro-controller.


Unfortunately I didn't recognise this until 6 months after I bought the Switch. Most games don't use the L3/R3 style buttons and I was just playing Mario Kart and Smash before Dark Souls.

Being fair, she has been consistent in saying that she doesn’t hate video games and don’t actually want anything banned... is just obvious she has a extreme contempt for the hobby and doesn’t even bother in play the games she is criticizing.

Theres a whole thread of women whinging about videogames on era.
Its always good for a chuckle.

Last time I looked they were complaining about Jill Valentines alt costume in Resi 2, because it looks like something an ordinary woman would have happen to have been wearing when the zombie apocalypse happened, not like she is constantly in paramilitary uniform even on her day off.

which I'm pretty sure is, you know, the fucking point.

Nothing wrong with that.

I just saying she sucked at it most of the time. And that is kind of infuriating given that there is legit criticism or good points she could make but she undermined. One video of her had a really good example of how video game marketers tried to appeal to consumers with sexuality provocative stuff but the it devolved in complaining about Hitman missions being sexist because she was able to kill female NPC.

I looked up the context for this and she deleted the tweet because she realized the Tetris manual had been photoshopped

lol at "made a career of criticizing games" oh noooo

Nah, she sits in the Jack Thompson sphere of "criticizing games", but gets a pass. I don't think anyone would even care about her if she wasn't so fucking dishonest about her "criticism".

There was ton of goodwill towards her because she was genuinely harassed. But at some point it become a “never even imply she sucks at criticizing games”.

Pretty sure Johnathan McIntosh was writing all their twitter content back then.

You might be right.

Hell yeah! Looking forward to this!

Woooooooooo! Yeaaaaaaaaah! A woman whinging about video games. I'm so excited I can't wait.

Even if you believe Anita only does good work, it's a strange reaction. "Fuck yeah, can't wait to see homophobic tropes in videogames"

Anita's going back to that video games dead horse to beat it again? Well, it isn't surprising. Her branching out to other ventures has been, at best, ineffectual if not an outright failure. Even her fellow SocJus cohorts don't seem to care about her any more. What better way to get eyes back on you by doing what made you infamous in the first place. I'm sure there are idiots on both sides that will give her the attention she's craving, which is what she's banking on.

The new series isn’t even hosted by Anita, though. But Carolyn Petit (who was also a pretty questionable game critic at Gamespot).

Anita's above those silly little video games now.  She has Carolyn Petit doing her dirty work.

Carolyn Petit was the one that did a pretty terrible article about Naoto being trans and Atlus being cowards for not addressing this.

And I’m one of the guys that think you may have a case with Kanji being gay.

Anita coming out of the woodwork again? She hasn't been relevant in a minute, huh. I mean good for inclusivity but this is the person who made a career of criticizing games and then defends them when trump was saying they might be bad after that shooting happened. She needs to pick an opinion and stick with it, not flip flop at will when someone who she hates just happens to agree with her on something, thus creating an inconvenient situation for her. Consistency is more important than politics, but for anita it seems to be the other way around.

Being fair, she has been consistent in saying that she doesn’t hate video games and don’t actually want anything banned... is just obvious she has a extreme contempt for the hobby and doesn’t even bother in play the games she is criticizing.

Sounds like she's more appreciative of the hobby than the average Reset poster...

Well now I'm looking forward to a webseries that's all about headcanon and how character x is clearly trans or gay

Yeah exactly. lol

The person is way too enthusiastic about it. It's like he is going to a rock concert or something.
