It's already been mentioned, but the easiest way to put pressure on THQ Nordic is through Nickelodeon. While sending their PR department an email is OK, the quickest way to get the ball rolling is to repeatedly go on their social media feeds, point out their relationship with THQ, & ask them to either intervene or sever ties. In addition, people can make their local/national news affiliates as well as child protection groups aware of their partnership with THQ.

This would at least give Nickelodeon a chance to do something constructive (since they're being somewhat unfairly dragged into this) rather than ignoring or running away from the issue.

Look at that Diet Gamergating

spoilered because i went into carepost territory regarding 8chan.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I really hate those people. 8chan has never advertised itself as a place to host illegal content. 99% of the site wants every pedo to be hanged. Unfortunately being an anonymous image-board that seeks to only ban illegal content means that you will get some human refuse on the site. Back when 8chan got delisted it was basically run by one cripple admin and volunteer moderators. 8chan was not created to host cp. It was a cripple who imagined the idea of an infinitely expanding imageboard where the users could create their own boards. He was tired of the moderation on some weeb 4chan board iirc.

I honestly think they are only trying to smear 8chan as a den of pedophiles because they are so full of impotent rage over gamergate. The idea of industry professionals talking to the users of /v/ and not re drove them insane.

I honestly think THQ should sue all the gaming blogs that seek to damage their brand by trying to connect them to cp. They should sue reset as well. I think they have a case but it would likely give the story more attention and the reject gaming bloggers another reason to write about it.

In the world of Ree where post counts are a measure of your worth, anonymous imageboards strike fear into their hearts. Being on an equal footing as everyone else means only your opinion matters. It is antithetical to their existence.

Oh, and 8chan isn't blacklisted on google, it is just buried. Type 8ch(dot)net into the search bar and it is the first result. Rejects can't even get that right.

And they keep linking to an image of some obscure board called toddlercon. Apparently some fucked up carton porn involving underage. I just looked at the board list and had to do a ctrl+f just to find it since it is so far down the list, and in the last day there 5 active isp's connected to that board, probably all from Ree advertising it so often. In comparison /v/ gets around 3000 isp's per day. If that board had illegal content it would be shut down. I want all 5 of the users of that board to be hanged. It doesn't represent 8chan anymore than /v/ does.

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I ought to just remove the "recommendations" section of the OP altogether. It would certainly cut down on the excessive length, lol.

It was only intended to end things on a positive note, and suggest some alternative content to consume. However, its inclusion seems to have been a net negative, as it has shifted the discussion towards microanalysis of specific people, rather than problematic views and behaviors more generally;

Who could have ever expected that to happen. Can't believe girlfriend reviews would follow pewdiepie. The horror  :shaking

I fucking love Terry's comments being framed as a "slip", a "mistake", or, "everyone fucks up sometimes".

Nah, the guy just has a different opinion to you but because you think that any position other than your own on any given topic is the incorrect one, you can't help but position him as a bumbling idiot who said something out of character.

Racism/sexism is not going to be "fixed" until progressives (not just D, but progressive D), hold the reins of culture and bends it towards progressive ends, because bigotry is taught and learned, not innate, and it needs to be cut out at the root before it can metastasize into someone's head like a tumor.

I'm referring to more than just Hollywood, but also education, news media, literature and now social media. We need to teach American slavery in the classroom, and definitively state that it was an evil institution and its destruction was only justice. We need to admonish news outlets like the NYT and CNN from playing both-sides culture wars for the sake of ratings. We need to stop the spread of Republican groupthink by rooting out institutions like Fox News and conservative talk radio. We need to lampoon every conservative book that hits the shelves and pressure retailers into removing them. We need to shut down YouTube and Facebook until their owners figure out how to stop the spread false information and conspiracy theories.

If all of this sounds extreme, it's because it is. If some of it sounds unconstitutional, that's probably because some of it is, especially the news media part, but I'm not a Constitutional scholar.

How stupid and incompetent can you be to design apparel for women WITHOUT WOMEN INPUT?

This people shouldn't call themselves designers, at best proficient in graphic design

Oh and it's most definitely offensive to think that they couldn't find women to do the design, like you know, the hundreds of designers that graduate each year from my own alma mater's courses in fashion design and product design who will go do design for a living instead of drawing male fantasies.

Yeah, go fuck yourselves Gianni Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Dior, Yves St Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein

Thats an ugly ass dress, but all ESPORTS! clothing is ugly as fuck, but its a stupid fucking thing to claim that male designers can't design womens clothing given some of the biggest fucking names in fashion are men who make clothes for women that women love

Give it to the best possible actor. If he happens to be gay then so be it, I don’t care, more power to him. After all it’s acting, I don’t have a problem with a gay actor portraying a straight character or a straight actor portraying a gay character. It really shouldn’t matter. What gender an actor chooses to sleep with in his or her personal life shouldn’t matter for his or her workplace.

 :confused

A 1 month ban for saying it doesn't really matter what the sexual orientation of the actor playing a role is?

e: like, the only scenario where I can think of where that would really matter is if the role is super homophobic and criticism of the role can be deflected by the actor being super gay in real life

It's okay, only Kotaku and that pretentious fattie Sterling is real journalism. And that dude who goes :exxy during Yakuza but posed with sexist caricatures some years ago. Unless they bash Zelda, then they are trash games aligators too.

What resetera seems to want is not more reporting on the subject, whether in-depth reporting of the subject, an interview with subjects that made the decision on THQ-Nordic, or who exactly was the point of contact on 8chan's side (which seems to be an underreported part of all this. Why did 8chan target THQ-Nordic, did they send an mass email hoping to get any company and THQ-Nordic was the only one to bite? Was there something they thought THQ-Nordic would be sympathetic to their site or something), or was there other factors that haven't been unearthed yet?

They just want opinion and commentary from all the gaming sites, and apparently every week even after there's nothing else to talk about it. The vast majority agrees with them that this was a bad decision, but that is seemly not enough. It apparently needs to be talked about day in and day out hoping for another decision that feeds back into the loophole of outrage and shock.

So I should assume this thread will be filled with bans for "vilifying journalism" or some such nonsense? The mods have put video game journalism on some untouchable pedestal since the inception of ResetERA in a vain attempt to get industry cred and to prove to insiders ERA is a "safe place" to post at. Merely saying you didn't like Kotaku or WayPoint was enough to get you banned. Now that their users feel like video game journalism has shown their asses, they have to do an embarrassing 180 and allow their users to rake the video game journalists (i.e. bloggers) over the coals.

Quote
We're talking about a key members of a big publisher giving a spot to a website hosting child pornography and here we have the press being lenient toward that, when, if they had a fuckin spine, they should've collectively take the decision to stop covering THQN stuff and stop reviewing their games until proper actions were taken. If the biggest websites and editors in chief just decided that, the whole thing would've been resolved in a few days and THQN would've had no choice but to take proper actions, if they wanted their promotion back.

In the end, none of that happened. Crazy.

In any other industry or in any serious press, the journalists would keep coming at them until an actual answer was given.
They'd keep pressing them until something was done.
Imagine if Disney hosted an AMA on a website hosting child pornography ?
Imagine if Apple hosted ab AMA on a website hosting racist content ?
The press would go insane on that.

But not the gaming press, who decided to remain the obedient and lenient promotion tool.

Let's all remember how the movie press boycotted Bohemian Rhapsody or refuses to ever review a Roman Polanski movie  :mike

i really wish the left would hard fork into identity left and economic left. make the war thermo nuclear instead of cold.

they've never been one and the same. One could argue that the majority of Reset just doesn't lean left at all, they're neo liberal identitarians.

does it even count as a gaming press specifically? It's more of a collection of unqualified bloggers with a couple exceptions.

Well of course Youtube took proper actions and many people were fired

And every YouTuber and advertiser fired themselves too because they were complicit by creating content for a site that hosted child porn

Didn't the BBC help hide Jimmy Saville and the Yew Tree operation perps molesting kids? Obviously Kotaku has ways to go to become a respectable outlet.

Ironically they got mad at the actions YouTube took, because apparently a video of a 5 year old doing gymnastics really needs to be monetized

Not good enough tbh, Disney needs to come out and explain why they are still releasing trailers for children comic book movies on an infamous child pornography hosting website like Youtube. They also need to fire their PR department to show they've learnt their lesson.

Currently playing FF9 on Switch. It's so wonderful and endearing in so many ways. But Zidane's womanizing tendencies are played up as "lovable quirks" through the game so far. (I'm in Lindblum).



I get that this is an old ass game, and so far, it hasn't felt egregious enough for me to dislike the game or cast, but it does take me out of it a little bit.

He grabs the ass of Garnet without consent. There is nothing else to say.

The Garnet ass grab really caught me off guard. I had completely forgotten about that moment until it popped up in the game. He does get better, but "yikes" covers it pretty well.

The ass grab was gross in IX and they've played up his womanizing in spin-off stuff and as a woman it's just off putting. I like him better than Squall but that's not really saying much. Love the rest of IX's cast though.

Yeah, thats what happens to people who feel ostracised and disenfranchised, and that they are victims of hate and ridicule for their beliefs.
They seek our other groups who are also the subject of exclusion as allies.

Bu-bu-but deplatforming works amirite?

Pretty sure it’s canon that he was just checking to see if she had a tail under there. It’s the first thing I do too.

I like how they refer to it as something that any normal person would ever remember.


FF9?  That's the game with The Garnet Ass Grab, isn't it?

I think it is unneccessary and typical japanese. But it does looks like an honest mistake.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-parent-company-issues-formal-apology-for-the-8chan-ama.103276/#post-18509988

THQ issued a formal apology. Will this sate their need for blood?

Quote
Garbage apology that seriously attempts to downplay what exactly went down by not mentioning that they interacted with the "unethical content"

Quote
No apology is worth anything so long as the people responsible for emboldening child pornographers and white supremacists continue to represent THQ Nordic. Hell, they may have even written this apology.
 

Quote
Not good enough and this doesn't change anything at all.

Quote
Looks like nothing.

Quote
That's the most corporate, hollow ass apology I ever did see.

 :lol
