It was worth a shot, but no, I didn't get a refund. Oh well...

So I gave The Trevor Project quadruple the amount what I spent on a shitty RPG-maker game made by shittier people.

donating is a fantastic idea and you've inspired me to do the same

fuck these stupid ass devs forever

that'll show these lesbians!

Incels/gamergators/kappa folks/you name it- they're willing to do just that. These folks will probably be able to survive as a shovelware dev due to this.

Also, a lot of people just don't care, though those folks tend to avoid the indie market, you have to be Stardock-sized or bigger for that not to apply.

And of course Valve put the off-topic review thing in to make sure the complaints get censored. It's stuff like that which makes me want to reconsider my stance on boycotting EGS.

Shit like this is why I don’t like giving Valve money anymore. They have the cash flow necessary to kick people off for being shitheads, but they don’t.

Instead they let awful shit go for money and let utter shitheads run rampant on their forums.

Can you imagine a world where Valve had a moral backbone of any sort and maybe refused to do things like making a Communist Party approved client for China.

So can valve just ban this game since its clearly a platform for hate speech?

Valve won't do shit.

They should be called out for it till they do then.

People won't ever criticize valve, they're too busy being mad at anything that isn't Steam. Valve is a gross company.

We'll be lucky if any outlets comment on the dev at all, let alone Steam.

Shit even if they did something, Gabe himself would restore the game to the storefront and issue a personal apology to the transphobic PoS.

Not that it matters that much, but as far as my understanding goes their actions violated paragraph 266b of danish law.
So I reported the game to steam for that violation.
So maybe it'll at least be taken down in Denmark.

if they had an ounce of self reflection they would realize they just exercised mind control over the alt right

they got a bunch of goober g8ers to buy a lesbian-friendly mostly-progressive shitty little video game to own the libs

if they happen to play it, they might get subtly influenced by its vibe and ideals



can you imagine if they harnessed this power?

In a human rights respect I think trans rights are pretty much equal to gay rights atm, except in some holdouts in society (the deeply religious, the deeply bigoted, the deeply stupid). And that is a bad part of a venn-diagram to be in the center of. That's one of those bad-grams

I don't think anyone worth listening to is seriously arguing against allowing trans people to run boy scout troops or not allow them to marry

the way people parrot it as a catchphrase at every opportunity makes me think they mean it's something more than that and I don't know what they're trying to say

I guess if it's a basic human right to be comfortable in your own body they might be arguing that hrt/surgery should be 100% government funded and free but again that doesn't seem to be the context

Eh... pretty large swaths of the American public do not want to recognize a trans woman's right to be considered a woman in public spaces. 

referring to someone in a way they don't like is not a human rights violation

it's shitty and something you shouldn't do, but you don't drag them before a court on charges of violating human rights

because that opens the door for the infamous attack helicopter troll, needing to respect someone's bizarre imposition upon you as much as any other

trans right now face the same exclusion that, let's say, any other person that conducts a perceptible body modification that deviates from what's socially acceptable. They modify their traits in a way that is perceptible and that causes a natural rejection. Surely a portion of that rejection is based on hate, but most of it is just being wary, curious, etc.

"Oh, i'm sure this dude with a tattooed skull on his neck and shaved head is a nice guy"- no one, 2019.

PS: I can see how my message could be misconstrued here. There's a range of transgender people. There's people who pull it off in a way they're undetectable, but then you also have what seemed to be a potato skin middle-aged guy with blue long hair. That's perceptually gross no matter how many excuses people make to pretend they're not grossed out on a visual basis.

I've seen very few trans people. One of them in a footwear store. I was so analyzing that i probably stared way longer than we'd determine as acceptable. I didn't do it out of spite, I was just checking a very believable transitioned person. But i'm sure if she realized that I was looking, she'd believe I was being judgmental. But it's like... a natural thing that happens. It's like when you see someone that has something odd in their face, like a prosthetic part of the face, or a deformity. You're mostly curious about it.

words on a 1 on 1 basis are not violence per se. The problem would be if the person saying those words could cause others to take action against that person. Say, a community leader of sorts. Then it'd be more than just words.

true however it's also something you need to be careful about, it shouldn't just be "could" cause action, because then you're getting into minority report pre-crime

someone with reach matters, an asshole at the supermarket does not

my main point is that misgendering a trans person is cruel, but so is deciding you're always going to call someone a cunt to their face, or call a coworker a dick in private conversation

mean names are not a violation of human rights

I said could as in the hypothesis. but yeah, I meant it as an actual consequence. And yes, misgendering when you know how to address to them is.... at the most, impolite. It's a matter of etiquette and social respect. It's not a crime, of course.

That was the WHOLE point I was making. Our nature is to be CURIOUS. We suppress our innate tendencies due to societal pressures. You're already projecting onto a person that was damaged in some way, and you're asking to the observer not to think: i wonder if he lost those legs in the war, given his attire, etc. You're asking humans not to be... humans. I don't mean bring a magnifier glass and start analyzing that deep. A 3 second stare would be enough to make someone feel observed. Everyone does it, specially when they know the other person can't tell they're being observed. So why create this parallel universe where I narrate an entirely normal behavior and why it can feel tedious for those who have those oddities and claim i'm the weird one.

It's one thing to find rejoice in watching them like "what a freak", and another entirely different one trying to understand the causes, or the story behind it.

Will you address what my post was actually about or nah?

you want to clarify then?

recognizing a trans woman's right to be considered a women in public = bumping into them and saying oh excuse me ma'am, no?

no one has a human right to be considered anything by the general public

the only place where rights enter the picture is business and government, such as the right to get a brazilian wax as a woman or control over your birth certificate/passport/ID etc.

[Uncle]

You edited out the part of my post about bathroom and locker room usage; whether you consider that a human rights issue or not is maybe separate but it's certainly far more concrete than merely what you call someone in public.

But I certainly consider it a rights issue, as I would consider my wife being forced to use a men's locker room a rights issue.

you edited that part in

and also yes as I said that's where business and government enter the picture as to whether they can say legally sir I'm afraid you will have to leave, as well as whether physical assault is or isn't legally justified

I would consider it probably justified if a cisman was assaulted for loitering in a woman's restroom, but I'm not a lawyer

Incredible thread for people to get all detective on.

[who is ted danson?]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-find-it-harder-to-like-kotaku-lately.144557/

First of all: Please don't turn this into a pro-gamergate or a place to harass or bash certain authors you don't like. I'm going to keep things a bit vague to avoid unintentionally get any author harassed. Also, this is about Kotaku US not the other Kotaku sites.

For years, Kotaku has been I main news source for gaming, mostly out of convince at first since it was a sister site to other sites I visited at the time. It's had really great articles in the past for both anime and gaming in the past. I'm not denying their hasn't been some stinkers of articles in the past of comments from authors in the comments that have made me cringe, it's generally been a good source of info and opinions.

The past year however I've noticed I've been going to the site less and less, I don't like saying this but the quality feels like it's dropped and their has been more and more fluff pieces lately. Not only that but I've been feeling this atmosphere of pettiness from some of the authors, the reason I even decided to write this was because of a petty swipe one author decided to do in the comment sections of one of the articles that just felt needless. That isn't to say their is no quality articles, there but it feels like their is less of them and come out less frequently.

I've also noticed Kotaku as nearly completely dropped discussing anime for the most part, thus making the Otaku part of their title feeling a bit pointless, it's mostly about gaming now unless something really big happens but even then, the info is easily found elsewhere and in greater detail and with more friendly comment sections. After Kotaku (and the rest of Gawker at the time) sacked their moderators because they didn't want to pay them, Kotaku's comments I've felt more toxic and toxic to the point I barely look at them unless their authot has posted there because at best it's just screaming matches and worse bigotry and that's only the comments not in the greys.

And of course, the recent... Incident with a particular porn based Kotaku article really put me off the site, I'm still amazed something like that got published and that their was 0 editorial oversight on it or any article the site runs.

After the past few days post that happening, I've been wanting to just stop reading the site, still coming out of habit and curiosity. It just isn't the same site I liked going to.

Edit: Please don't mass tag Jason, potentially annoying one of Kotaku's staff isn't what I want to come out of this thread.

HEY JASON, YOUR WEBSITE SUCKS!!!

Incredible thread for people to get all detective on.

Saw a combo I liked for 9.75. Said combo was listed in this way: "food, salad, and drink". Upon checkout, my total came out about 5 dollars above that. I asked if that was all sales tax, and the clerk said the drink cost was added on. I asked if it was possible to just get the deal without said drink cost and she said no. I decided to buy the combo.

Imagine being explained to your face how they're scamming you for three bucks and and paying.
