Why should I verify my account? At ResetEra, we’re looking to help foster deep relationships between those who consume games and those that develop, write about and publish them. A verified account is an additional layer of trust and authenticity to your account. It adds weight to your posts and helps to strengthen the notion that you’re a real human being that has passion for the work you do.We think that being verified can help to create a stronger relationship with your audience and gives you an opportunity to step into discussions about your work as a valuable source of authority. We believe having an identifiable voice on one of the fastest-growing video game forums on the internet is important.Please note that verified status will not entitle you to preferential treatment from the staff and you will still be expected to adhere to the same forum rules as any other member.How do I become verified?If you are interested please reach out by email at nibel@resetera.comIn the email you'll need to provide- Your ResetEra account name (!)- Your name- Your job title and company- Your work email address or any other means of proving your identity- A description of why you wish to verify your account- A custom tag if you wish to have it (E.G. Developer at X or Community Manager at Y)
It's a woman with a large penis. What the hell is the issue?
A trans person with their penis on display and a man in drag with their penis on display is largely indistinguishable for a large portion of society.
Intent is important, but so is result. If this is a character in drag, it is virtually indistinguishable from a trans person, and thus, the perception is the same.
We do know that the person will be considered by many to be trans, as drag queens often are. The result is more important than the intent.
This isn’t inherently bad, and if it came from a queer artist it would be empowering. But coming from CDPR it just seems like they’re mocking queer people.
I think we have to figure out intent. Is it representative of trans? Is it representative of a cross dressing? Clarity from CDR would go along way.
It's a woman sporting a big cock (whether it's biological or an augmentation) inside her leotard. Whatever angle you want to look it, it doesn't paint a good picture, especially with the "Mix it up!" text.
It doesn't matter if the artist intended for them to be trans or not. It's still a trans coded character playing off of hurtful stereotypes that have been used against trans people for years.
Straight up gross. Is the erect dick outline thing remotely defensible? Completely inappropriate and pointless.
The level of obscenity makes it clear the point is to disgust, depicting gender non conforming people as sexually aggressive is one of the oldest tropes in the book. The window for that kind of imagery to be viewed as a positive form of expression is very narrow

It's like you're not even trying to foster deep relationships.
I'm not sure why that is deemed problematic. Aren't feminine penises supposed to be good? Isn't this a representation of a trans woman who choose to keep the equipment and is proud of it? I can't figure them out any more.
the idea that forum discussions need to be productive is the weirdest, stupidest shit
User Banned (1 Day): Posting a conspiratorial memePeople were promised Steam keys and are annoyed that they aren't getting them because EGS is a functionally worse platform.Mod Edit: Image containing conspiratorial rhetoric removed.It's slightly out of date now, but still, a lot are still very true.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory Generalizations and Misrepresenting Other Users Over Concerns of Racial FetishizationERA, it prides itsef for being a forward thinking community, but at the end of the day all we see is whole bunch of "nice guys" virtue signaling. Nice to know that this forum is just as creepy and sexist as any other gaming community.
User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive and antagonistic attitude towards concerns surrounding sexism and racial fetishizationQuote from: Crossing EdenThe start of it and all the posters with avatars of asian women saying asian fetishism isn't an issue. You know, despite being walking talking examples of it existing.So you're saying if this was a white woman or a man, there would be no problem. Just because she's asian it's suddenly a massive problem and everyone is a creepy fucker going around here? You have a really twisted mind.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Rationalizing Sexism and Community Generalizations over Multiple Posts in this ThreadQuoteThanks for this. I noted that fraternization policies restricting management/subordinates from socializing existed, but was shouted down and called all kinds of names for bringing it up.This thread is really bringing out the WORST in people.It's not just this thread. The forum has been overrun with low-quality, minimum effort #WokeHotTake culture. Nothing is taken at face value, everyone suspects the worst of anyone that event hints at disagreeing with the "prevailing" take (E.g, 60% of male managers are sexist or pervs), and there must be alternative agendas in every innocuous thing that a person says. It's the Pepe Silvia bit from It's Always Sunny except on a broader scale and people here aren't acting when they come off as cynical paranoiacs.

User Banned (5 Days): Celebrating the injury of an athlete.The best player of the opposing team leaving the match? Absolutely no problem to celebrate. It's not like he had a career ending injury, dont over react. I was watching a 15-minute video about the game and I was smiling after he left (I kinda prefer the Raptors, but dont really care, and this going to game 7 would be great).And as far as I know noone did anything to him. The Salah injury in last year's CL was a moment where you should be a scumbag to celebrate, or Neymar's in 2014 WC... Durant? Naaahhh. Dude probably rushed his return and this was a risk.
Celebrating the injury of an athlete.
Maybe if seeing the throbbing, veiny outline of a huge dick makes you feel gross, you have some homophobia you need to work through
This thread: a celebration of a talented individual being infantilized and reduced to a mascot because she is Japanese, cute and enthusiastic.

Outside of the harsh way of addressing my attempt of applying copyright law, I do concede all my points. My understanding and application in this case is not correct. I enjoy law, I have a great interest in it. I have not attempted to imply I'm a lawyer by any means, or even that I'm studying to be one. I am just a person that figured copyright could be one way for Nintendo to enforce this, and that an NDA wouldn't have to be involved.This was wrong. I have tried to understand why, but I am not versed enough in its use to understand it. I figured a, say, one-pager for a game announcement could be copyrighted, albeit weakly for being a factual composition. But there's clearly some borders of this I don't understand, and I am not trying to justify anything with this, just to show the idea.Thank you for correcting me, and giving me an opportunity to gain better understanding.(...)Same goes as above. I concede my points and have attempted to apply copyright in an incorrect manner. Thank you for taking the discussion with me.
As a cisgender straight white male, I can honestly say that I'm surprised more of us aren't getting neck injuries from now hard we look the other way on any issue.
Boogie looks like Gregg Miller's personal shopper
His teeth were so rotted that they pulled all of them and gave him dentures. Now he no longer is afraid of smiling and you seeing that so instead of his old creepy grin he has a new one.His head is normal sized so the personal grooming/shaving does a lot when you can't see the rest of that body. People thought he was actually losing weight till he showed up to some event.

If we’re being honest, the reason the trans members at reee hate that ad in cyberpunk is because it demonstrates a difference between cis and trans women. It’s evident that reee hates ciswoman sexuality.
I know people want to give them the benefit of the doubt because they've made good games, but, man, all signs point to this game being problematic as *fuck*.

At the end of 2017. Group employed people from 32 countries around the world. Most of them, except for Polish, comes from the UK (15 people), the US (11 people) and Canada (10 people).Not sure that's a ringing endorsement of being particularly multicultural.
I also wonder how many of those 32 countries are predominantly white countries.
If the only way they could find to represent a trans woman was through a hyper sexualized and fetishized image clearly inspired by that very specific hentai subgenre, god help us with the racial stereotypes or the portrayal of other queer people.
