Phantoms little thread made the point clear as day.Posters here will bitch, moan, whine, cry about any little thing regarding a game and proudly celebrate themselves not buying it..... But a whole publisher promotes a website pushing CP and Nazism and the same posters come up any damn excuse to keep supporting them.You may fool yourselves, but you aint fooling anyone else. Largely, THQ will get away with it as its starting to show, but it definitely reveals how shitty and immature most of this supposed "Gaming Community" really is.

I think this is a terrible poll question to draw any substantive conclusions from, and I would suggest you'd need a series of questions to properly grasp the after effects. That being said, there's a lot of pro-consumption mentality in the gaming community, so I'm not shocked by the poll results being where they are. In general, people tend to stand up for ideas and issues, but when it comes to actually impacting their bottom line (not consuming a product they want to consume), they tend to cave. The best example of this is probably the MW2 Boycott.

The fact that the Washington Post made clear that the site was “once banned from google” killed the narrative of being some sort of dark net site that is, for some reason, on the open.
I will consider whether or not to buy each games depending on what said games are like. There’s never been any company wide boycott for me, and there never will be. That said, I hope future Persona games will not have such objectionable rhetoric, and I hope Hashino himself will grow better.

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 remember iraq being a slam dunk. I think everyone does.
There are lots of definitions of what charisma is - with the most mechanical and sterile being something like "a persona that for either specific or combinations of reasons is highly visible and hard to ignore and captures the attention or imagination of an audience "And of course it can mean all manner of things - from smoldering sexuality and talent of a young Elvis or James Brown - to the unhinged and violent rhetorical mien of Hitler or MussoliniFemale charisma is just as prevalent but at a largely different encapsulated spectrum - yes sexy extremes like Marilyn Monroe or the more intellectual charm of Lauren Bacall - but also the force of personality from a Diane Feinstein or Roseanne Barr or the quirky ebullience of Michelle Thaller (girl, let me at your hair with some product). There ARE violently rhetorical dictator types but it's possible that gender roles reduce their avenues for success at least historically.It doesn't require physical attractiveness at all - and there's an element that can be lost in the presentation or broadcast as a slew of Scott Eastwoods or Sam Worthingtons demonstrate - these examples are extremely handsome and in real life probably ferociously charismatic relative to a room full of randos.I think my definition of it is a kind of aura of elements that a person emits in words and appearance that has a kind of brightness or volume and that it can be natural or deliberately projected -and amplified through content or performance. But it's also contextual - it can be turned off, or overshadowed by more charismatic company.There's a video of a Trump legal deposition on one of his many bankruptcies or frauds where he ends up in a corner where he can't perform his act or tell the kinds of lies he always does and is forced into a legal strategy where he has to (still lying but sedated by the circumstances) simply plead ignorance to item after item. He looks beaten and pathetic and shitty because he's been cowed by, in this case the force of law, with no way out - but it shows that his charisma isn't permanent. It's built on the absurdity of his bullshit.You can see him shrink and also see how intellectually stunted he is. He's only comprehending about 50% of the nuance and technical language : http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/09/30/donald_trump_deposition_video_live_blogged.htmlThere are two or three main types of reaction to Trump's bravado and vanity - the (college intellectual) recognition of what an outlandishly pathetic thing he is - a buffoon of such magnitude and such total failure at being a decent person -from trivia like his stupid haircut or his gross affection for his daughter - to the big stuff like the catastrophic harm he's doing on the world stage. But you can't look away. He's impossible to ignore.The second type of reaction (and I'm not ignoring dolts who literally believe everything he says) is a recognition of the power of his cartoonish klaxon of absurdity - and the instinct that he can deliver for them the worst things he's offering - racism and tribalism mostly, but they will buy any product he is selling after a while. I think intellectually a lot of them understand what he really is - but as long as his continued existence and uncanny durability persist - that they will push that to the back of their mind - or even trick themselves into believing it.The third and most morally repugnant reaction to his charisma is the GOP one - the recognition that this insanity can be an aegis for personal and party gain as long as they harness it by riding at the front of this train - and defending it lockstep to gain the most benefit. That's McConnell and the senate and some of the house. They've painted themselves into a corner by trying to ride it out - but this is a person who if he were a private citizen - they would NEVER admit him into their club. He's the height of gauche and ignorance but he's all they've got. But they'd not only admit he was charismatic - they'd likely define it the same way a liberal would.Charisma is, as D&D suggests - a thing that can be used for good or evil - but it is not independent OF good or evil. Trump's charisma is defined and caused by the evil and stupidity that he enacts.If Trump tried to focus his natural charisma on doing good, on being moral, on being charitable and kind and curious - I think he would fail very hard - but I also think that it would make him smaller and less charismatic - his behaviors in many ways can't even be applied to good at a fundamental level.
I'm pretty sure the thought of a company promoting a site linked to child porn never entered their mind because who would believe a company would do that before it happened?
Which one of y'all hunted Benji down
Haha, they were being buddy-buddy with a site filled with doxxers, white supremacists and pedophiles.What a fucking knee slapper.
Wow, this thread blew up. Here's why the poll is silly. A suburban man who is a police captain and a leader at a local religious institution is caught for murdering multiple people in their neighborhood. Should I never live in this neighborhood again? City? State? Country? Will I never attend that religious institution? that denomination? that entire religion? any religion? Mathematically, each of these questions covers the bases (what a strange argument) - simple yes or no. Oh wait, but there are a myriad of other questions that aren't answered?! Weird! It's almost like the options don't adequately represent the range of feelings on this matter!Also, does it suck for devs? Sure. (I mean, they're already paid for their work whether you buy or not, of course.) Should that be an actual barrier to responding to the company? Sure. But not if any of you have ever criticized and refused to buy any product in your lives. You hurt the poor engineers who designed it! And the poor marketers who promoted it! And the poor transportation drivers who delivered it! HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL!!!!How do sanctions work? Do you think the elite actually personally care that you restricted the flow of goods? No, they're forced to act because it starts affecting the rich people's industry and everyone else's basic livelihoods. Support the devs, sure. But the *company* hasn't even apologized for the incident. Just pushed the blame and looked away. So, understand that you're rewarding a company that hasn't had the balls to stand up and take a basic decent stand. I don't even care about the AMA nearly as much as I think they really screwed up the aftermath.

8chan literally is a safe haven for nazis and pedos... that's not an exaggeration.
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.
A bunch of these polls have embarrassingly not gone the way the woke brigade and ERA mods wanted. Have to wonder if allowing anyone to post a poll thread is on borrowed time.

The problem with this is that all one had to do was google 8chan and right smack in the first page of the results would be news articles talking about how they were removed from Google Search results because they hosted child porn.

Cool, but don't pretend that you take some active stance against CP.THQ is going to have literally no repercussions to promoting a vile and active hate site. And you're perfectly fine in continuing to give them money.You can't have it both ways. The company promoted a site you claim you "don't agree with" and literally made no repercussions to those involved, (PR team, department and the board executive)but stupid video games are more important than that apparently.

Good news: 8chan is delisted by Google, no one can accidentally stumble on it. Bad news: THQN provided a link to that site for 15hours in Twitter.

Sure, some individual mods are. But as an administrative body, they're not rational. They're just as insane as their Prominent Members™.
Yeah, let me rephrase. You keep assuming they're more rational than the most insane members. As an administrative body, I don't think that's very true. Maybe a slight tick more rational than the ones constantly calling for adding games to the banned games list, but I think that slight uptick in rationality is only due to the admins' wallets forcing it upon them.
If anyone could give me a summary of the last 8 months of GAF/ResetERA drama, i'd really appreciate it.
I guess the poll is not going well for woke resetera...Maybe Cerium should be worry about the disconnect between the majority and the insane users.

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...]

They're allowing THQ Nordic and their games to continue to be discussed because banning them would also bury the wrong they've done.I agree with what was suggested previously in this thread; Every THQ Nordic thread made about them or one of their games on this site, regardless if it's simple news or a full-on OT of a game, should have them being pro-child porn edited into the title of the thread and a disclaimer put into the OP. We should not allow this company or its products to continue to be discussed and promoted without their stance being made clear every single time. It needs to be put right in the face of people, including the ones here who want to ignore it. That's why it needs to be in the thread title of every thread too, as a message in the OP will be quickly ignored.
