I'm confused as to how the only mention of "child porn" here is that he's legally responsible for it, when the place has sections like /trapshota/ (as seen in the header of the THQ Nordic AMA) that actively cater to those people.

You know I was saying the other day something to the effect of the fact that one reason gaming seems to be a locus for fascist recruitment is that it's a hobby that requires a lot of time and financial dedication at least in its current form; it's hyperfocused on consumption and the people most invested in it wind up being people of means and privilege, and thus more likely to be a receptive audience to fascism, especially white supremacist stuff.

I don't even think about the degree to which small stuff like this was normalized as just jokes to outsiders while still being taken seriously amongst themselves. (Adorno in particular wrote about this phenomenon extensively; it's not new.) It is of no real surprise to me that the sort of person who would try to claim ironic (but not really) use of the "PC master race" imagery would eventually reach the point of calling a Jewish game developer slurs in semi-public forums.

It is this that most frustrates me about seeing things like this -- that there is no surprise or shock to be had from it. It is entirely predictable, and could have been headed off the better part of a decade ago were it but for the libertarian bent of most of the internet's caretakers.

BAN GAMES

This is becoming the new gamergate, we have to stop before it's too late.

I'm sorry for the people that genuinely want to discuss about the problems that they have with the EGS but this not the right time to do it, you're just giving a cover to an hateful movement.

[benjipwns]

I've been having literal panic attacks and deleted several posts before I made them in defence of EGS and pointing out the awful unwarranted behaviour of folks here and elsewhere online. I'm more disgusted however by persons on this forum with such behaviour, a forum that allegedly prides itself on being progressive but has now in my eyes muddied its reputation with posts either attacking Epic, the Developers for making a business decision that was right for them or the rabid attacks on others for having a difference of opinion. I tell you a person or a company can be the best in the world until they do one thing that doesn't fit within one's cardboard cutout of one's morality and then suddenly they're worse than Hitler, and suddenly that makes it okay to attack someone or a company just as bad as someone on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Shouting at someone, calling them trash and worse doesn't make you better than them just because one thinks they don't fall exactly within the same perceived moral ground as you, it just makes you as bad as them or worse.

It's fine to criticise and have a debate but things should just get shut down when things get heated.

I'm still having a panic attack as I write this because I know someone will misinterpret what I say.

I was having a little fun with the quip about comparing some people in this movement with Trump Supporters but I'm almost not joking about making a comparison with gamers gate, there's been a lot of abuse that makes eerie connotations between some people's behaviour online with anti EGS and GG. It just seems at that tipping point.

[benjipwns]

I wanna believe that it's not too late or, at least, that we can't prevent this to happen again in the future. We must be conscious that now there's no place for a discussion around the EGS policies now (for the reasons I stated in the post you quoted) and work towards creating an environment of welcoming for the devs that take the EGS deal.

Absolutely, I'm afraid this whole EGS situation could spark a second GamerGate but aimed at devs rather than journalists, which could be far worse for the industry. All of this because of extreme entitlement. You have no idea the amount of posts on various communities I've read with people literally saying "WE know what's best for the game, not the devs".

I think looking at the uncomfortable parallels between GamerGate and what's going on right now are necessary in order to make sure we don't get a little bit of history repeating itself. There are definitely people who are swooping in and co-opting this entire situation to basically push their own agenda of hate, which isn't entirely dissimilar from what happened with GamerGate. Those people are basically starting from a point of a hate campaign and using the EGS discourse as their vehicle.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It looks like Keighley is doing a sort of pre-show to Gamescom. And THQ Nordic is featured. If it's his thing (called Opening Night Live) and he's selecting which publishers will be making announcements, I imagine he just doesn't know what's going on? Or he does and then, you know...yikes. Or maybe he's just a host and had no part of choosing which publishers to feature. I don't know.

And nobody in the comments section on that tweet is even bringing up THQ Nordic's past misgivings. Weird.

WEIRD

[benjipwns]

Shit like this is one of the big reasons why I’ve always been uncomfortable identifying myself with the term “Gamer”, even though video games as a hobby define me like no other.

Besides the fact that I’ve just always thought it sounds kind of stupid, no matter how far parts of the “Gamer” community have come, “Gamers” as a whole have proven time and time again that when it comes down to it, they have the upmost capacity in proving themselves as the childish, irresponsible, entitled, and even unhinged group that the more standard public may associate that term and video games in general with. Like all of this, over a GOD DAMN FUCKING STORE FRONT. Like are you FUCKING kidding me people. Are you FUCKING kidding me.

The term “Gamer” is a broad stroke. It’s like saying I’m a “Jock”. It just naturally comes with certain stigmas attached to it. I don’t want to say every time “yeah I’m a gamer, but I’m not an asshole child I swear”. Just like I’m sure someone that loves and participates in sports for their major hobby wouldn’t want to say every time “yeah I’m a jock, but I love video games too like JRPGs I swear”.

On one hand it’s a bit of a source of never ending sadness for me. That video games, my most beloved pastime, and the people that play them which includes me, may always destined to be attached to stigmas such as these. On the other hand, it’s fucking deserved, as “Gamers” continue to prove time and time again that they are truly creating these stigmas from within, many times with little to no outside influence.

So me? I’m just a dude that just loves video games. It takes longer to say, but it’s worth it at least for my own thought process in separating myself from the broad stroke, while still trying to identify what I am. Fuck these trashbags. These...”Gamers”. I want absolutely nothing to do with these subhumans.

And the worst part is, you like, or I guess hope, to think communities such as Era are on the right side of the track. Yet when the chips are down, shit comes out of the woodwork, and plenty of this gamer garbage is coming straight out of here. It’s baffling what fuckers are capable or. Gamers are trash.

I really like that the resetti criteria for "alt-right" is "had someone i don't like on a webshow". rogan is a meathead stoner for sure but he's pro-ubi, pro-gay marriage, pro weed legalization, pro free healthcare, and calls himself a liberal.

granted resettis see no shades of gray, however you'd think someone that shares that much in common with their views wouldn't be considered "alt-right" but i guess they are just consumed with perpetuating their own fake news. so mind boggling.

this is a big disappointment. candidates for the democratic party shouldn't go on alt-right adjacent podcasts

a fucking idiot, like most people that listen to Joe Rogan and these idiots are unfortunately allowed to vote.

Going on a show that shills for the alt-right does nothing but legitimize that platform. By him going on, he's equating himself to the likes of Ben Shapiro, Gavin McInness and Alex Jones which helps Rogan more than helps Bernie. This is a get for Rogan, not the other way around. Bernie will be heard by plenty (not that he needs it) but on the broader scope this is just saying the alt-right guests Rogan constantly has on are every bit as legit as someone running for President.

Joe Rogan doesn't deserve to be legitimized, he deserves to be shunned and called out on his bullshit yet here we are again with another Rogan thread and people still not getting that.

Hate to see it.

Hang with a dude that calls black people apes, but wouldn't come down south to appeal to black people, then have the nerves to dog whistle and call us "low information voters"

[benjipwns]

I somehow honestly wish gaming would go back to the days when developers/publishers made games and consumers just bought them once they came out. Not sure when all this conversation started happening around unreleased games (internet obviously) but I feel like gamers are the ultimate problem here and I don't think they should have access to any pre-development information, a couple of upcomng announcements (e.g. X game coming out soon) is fine but I feel as though communicating with the creators is not really in the interest of the majority as the total number of people who end up buying the product rarely engage with any sort of online discussions.

Obviously Kickstarting or financially backing a game should have a bit more transparency/disclosure but I don't even agree with the model myself (never kickstarted or backed anything) as I personally subscribe to the "build it and they will come" phrase. For someone who has been playing games for almost 40 years it's strange that I've somehow managed to stay quite content with the old style of game development and just buy games after they come out, I rarely look at anything pre-release as I have no interest in spoilers and if I do I will never have any insights/input into the development aspect as I feel like it's just a waste of my time to be voicing anything. Obviously I have a bit to say after a game comes out but I feel like that is a legitimate time to be investing in the process because not only have I actually paid money for the product but the developers might be in a better position to implement suggestions, patches, upcoming content, ideas for sequels etc and will actually be more directly interacting with people who bought and paid for their product instead of people who are just jumping on a bandwagon.

Does anyone else feel this way? Remember back in the 8-Bit and 16-Bit days when we also had amazing games but also had zero input on the development process? It all just seems so complicated nowadays and I don't really see enough positives emerging from it, I don't even know of any other medium which engages so heavily with it's audience (movies seem to slowly be going this way thou) and they seem to be doing fine. Sorry if this is offensive for anyone I just feel like gaming/discussion is so negative nowadays when we all we used to do was play/talk about games.

It's funny how we all agree that you shouldn't go on fascist and right-wing media like Fox news until Bernie does it, then suddenly he's "connecting with a wider base"

In a head to head, Beto curb stomps Trump. He makes Trump look old and he's such a genuine guy that anything Trump throws at him won't really stick. Trump's style against Beto is pretty bad. It's getting out of the primary that will be difficult or even impossible.

In the end, it comes down to who commands the media. If he can continue gaining that momentum back and come out with some fire at the next debate, he has a chance. He also needs also-rans like Pete, Booker, Castro, Kamala, etc to drop out.

I don’t see why that requires two weeks (the length) off for replying to people about having been doxed as a result of being a part of this site and being fed up about that, honestly. If people on Resetera are being targeted and doxed and feel uncomfortable about that fact I don’t think shutting down all discussion and banning those people is a particularly positive move.

It’s not like it’s particularly off topic either. The mentality and methods exhibited by places like KF are very much stepping stones toward the extremes we see taken by incels and alt-right loners in real life. Most might be teens just getting their laughs but the doxing and bridging of trolling online to harassment in person is a red flag and just hand-waiving and banning victims of it seems poor.

[Leadbelly]

Imagine hating someone based on whether or not they went on Joe Rogan, rather than what they actually believe or what they actually say.

If Bernie said something like, "You know Joe, Hitler did nothing wrong. And that is coming from a Jew." Well that is something to be angry about. What they are angry about though is like when you were 8 years old and your best friend is sitting near the kid you don't like in class.
