User Banned (Duration Pending): Generalizing and Antagonizing Other Users; Long History of Similar Behavior

Imagine thinking that Microsoft is using zen 3. Imagine thinking that Navi is exclusive to Sony. The amount of baseless speculation in this thread is head scratching. It's not even entertaining speculation as most of it rooted in confirmation bias, fanboy drivel, and at times, downright foolishness. In this thread, we have people who are absolutely not remotely technical savvy making predictions. We have the fake "engineers" discussing topics they're clueless about. Finally the people who can actually proficiently discuss this topic post infrequently. What a thread. I'm honestly astounded how this thread has 350+ pages of posts based on very little information.

Eh, Mueller listed lots of criminal activity by the US President. It's just that no one capable of doing anything about it cares (or even read the report), and that Mueller, being the Republican he is, was of the opinion he couldn't indict a sitting President.

only like one person accurately points out that nothing they've described is behavior linked with depression or anxiety, it's linked with being a total asshole and maybe BPD, but nothing like anxiety or depression

Pretty much. If they cut it we just pay other companies to reopen their mines and get it from there. The reason chins has a monopoly kn this material is because they drove the price into oblivion by paying their workers shit to force out the competition.

It will be over water because alot of China's expansion now is because they have polluted alot if their water tables and are gonna be water starved in the next couple decades.

We have refineries that just have to be updated to be able to do the job.

You do realize we could through up a couple refineries in Kansas with little problem? It would be more expensive but we could very much just make this shit at home. If not we would just buikd refinieries in some ofther country and do it there. It wouod cost more but it would hamstring china because rare earth production is one of the few nooses china has aroujd the West's neck.

If we really wanted to fuck china ww would just lead lease alot of africa and hamstring their belt and road initiative.

You act like we give a fuck about most of the world. We only have to supply american companies and let everyone else decide who they want to go with.

And dude if we rwally wanted to get into jt we could build a fe refineries in 5 years.

You really under estimate we would go to if china tried to pull this?

We would eat the recession easier the economic disaster that would occur in China after things got up and running.

Also they might as sell the American people on a fuck chinese goods to further isolate them.

If they call this bluff they are playing with the lifeblood of thier own country because once they lose that they crash so fucking hard it woukd make you head spin.

So much of their finaces are backed up by their manufacturing that if they lose that cornerstone the whole house of ca4ds starts to fall apart. To thw point where it might throw china into a revokutiin if they cant keep their new middle class happy. Not to mention opening up tibet anf other annexed territories to more loudly protest their occupation and oppression when the world doesnt turn a blind eye to it if they dont particulately need China's manufacturing anymore.

Wages woukd most likely rise and why woukf welfare be further cut back? The money we woukd get woukd come fron there it woukd be skimmed from the military budget to keep things even.

Do you even live here?

And ? The citizens would get mad but we coukd sell them the short term goals. The last recession was because of our shitty choices. You dont think The American people coukd be si
Old to tough through the short term because china is tryinf to keep its stranglehold on manufacturing. After that do a massive infrastructure spending bill and you could float a recession if the president was smart (hopefully Elizabeth Warren).

China on the other hand would have a social and economic collapse itbhas never known since Mao on its hands and rebellion from occupied territories while civil government will have trillions of chinese wondering why their way of life has suddenly crumbled because theybhave been woefully uninformed because of China's police state.

Unfortunatley that's most of them in a nuttshell. They are mostly people who got into those positions through trading, selling other stock/companies and made deals.

A lot of them have no fucking clue about the industry but know how to exploit it for money like Randy Pitchford, Bobby Kotick. Even more so a lo of the execs got in when the industry was still an emerging industry and rode the wave. So his contribution could be all but dick to the actual Portfolio of rockstar.

Milking a franchise, instead of reinvesting in new IP's are two different things. Never said as business execs they dont know how to make money. I just believe that the games would have sold no matter what because of gameplay, the era they released in and the gaming landscape. Bobby Kotick literally is from Vegas, and how he milked the shit out of the series during a high time of emerging multiplayer was simple business that any sane publisher would be able to see.

Though Blizzard wasn't making money hands over fist before they were bought and merged with Acti they knew what games people wanted and the sales showed it.

Randy Pitchford, and Bobby Kotick literally come from Vegas, and their outlook and how they treat the medium shows it. If the internal developers had more say on what they can make I feel we wouldnt be seeing a game like RDR2 mission design wise play like a game 8 years ago.

Literally was buying and selling. Not making video games. He just bought and did startups within early days of Gaming. WAS more interested in owning software companies than anything. His biggest software contribution is in the top with him helping create software for Apple II.

He knows business theres a difference. Nintendo know Gaming, and so doesn't Sony, Microsoft execs most of them anyway.

Which is why we have too many generic shooters and too many COD developers. He went madden with it.

Only two pages, Guess people care less when the companies doing it makes games they like aka RockStar, Naughty Dog, and Gear Box.

Not at all. The majority of people have 0 problems with Atlus regarding Persona 5’s awful depiction and treatment of lgbtq characters. So no, it’s more of a thing that gamers don’t really care about this, not of how big the company criticized is.

That’s why shit like Gamergate thrives on gaming spheres.

that’s not why....lol

best believe this thread would be poppin under different...circumstances.

Doesn't seem like Resetera cares. Is it because it's a guy it happened to, or because it's Rockstar and no one wants to boycott them?

Era hates Rockstar. The reason why this story isn’t receiving a lot of attention is beyond obvious.

So this will be mostly ignored like the blizzard thread?

It really is weird, a thread like this usually gets way more pages. If I had to guess, it's probably the latter reason, unfortunately.

So is there any way we could get era to care for this thread? it is kinda harsh watching it get ignored

Bump it. I also think it's sad this is not getting any traction.

Yeah bumping it is like the one thing. It is just weird how this gets flat out ignored. As you say most people are here for games but I figured that serious abuse like this would at least rub some people the wrong way and get some activity. I mean with other stuff the side goes wild

[benjipwns]

Sometimes I feel like if the man's a victim of sexual assault (which is the case here, though it goes beyond just that incident of course), it often gets ignored... There's been other similar threads trying to discuss this and often getting ignored (or thread dies pretty damn quickly) and it just... boggles my mind. That or people make jokes in the other threads, which is just... no.

As someone who's been a victim of sexual harassment and being taken advantage of by my male peers (once by an older woman, which my dad tries to laugh off and justify and it just... Jesus Christ, I can't deal with that shit), seriously, do better about discussing these issues.

Let me say this: Male Sexual Harassment and Assault is very hard to discuss because most people down play it, either as a "joke", or that you should be better able to handle yourself because your a man. It often gets ignored or laughed about by other people. It makes so many male victims hard to discuss the issue. It doesn't matter if this happened in front of a bunch of people, the issue at hand is Male Sexual Assault/Harrassment/Rape victims just are afraid to come forward, because of attitudes towards this. In fact, most men feel like it makes them weak because they couldn't do anything about it.

Let me tell you something: That woman I mentioned in my previous post? My dad would joke about it to me, saying "Don't let it bother you", or "That's just how she is", or "She's flirtatious". This woman, literally would just stare at me, every time she saw me walking by, flirt with me in a manner that was unwarranted, once put her hand on my shoulder and rubbed down my arm, then making a comment about how my name, "John Paul", is "such a POWERFUL name", in a VERY sexually charged voice, and I just... tried to get away at all possible.

My dad, laughs this off and tries to tell me that's just how things are, and that's just "her personality".

Like, literally, shit like this either gets ignored, handwaved, or joked about, and your response about not treating this seriously is only enabling victims that are afraid to come forward when it does happen. It's VERY hard for men to come forward with this.

It's just weird that the word fragile is on her clothes. And we both know that Kojima doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to female representation.

Lol why are you being obtuse about this?  They went through a slideshow of the characters' names and listed her as "Fragile."  I don't even understand how this is an argument.  Even if it's not her "real" name, they're still calling her that, and it's suspect as fuck coming off the heels of Quiet.

Ironic.

I've lost all humor long ago for the incel culture, they are just fucking deranged and a danger to people around them...

America allows incels and White Nationalists to flourish because tackling mental health, income inequality, toxic masculinity, and white fragility are an affront to conservative world views. Or rather, they inconvenience the worldview that the world is a meritocracy and that everyone gets what they deserves, with men being better than women and whites being better than others. Throw in a sprinkling of "whogivesafuckaboutguns" and you have a perfect storm of endless lone wolf shootings that are pushed through online recruitment and radicalization.

Funny

Cis women and trans folk don't come out of body dysmorphia as bigoted or end up in a terrorist death cult

Its a slippery slope to be honest, cause while its batshit insane to consider this train of thought rational, this does feel like a radicalization of misogynistic youths who were brought up with the ludicrous standards and values of 1980s and 1990s America, somewhere between complete sexual freedom and sex is evil before marriage puritanical fearmongering and "sexual" education. Like you can understand WHERE its coming from, but not how or why it even developed into something more than it should be.

Can we stop saying people in a Hate Group are "Mentally ill"? This shit is a fucking huge disservice to actual mental illness. I'm really sick of how easily and often it gets tossed around here as an explanation or excuse. Incels are first and foremost a radical hate movement and need to always be treated directly through that lens.
