So i don't think LoU2 will be particularly traumatizing. But the enemies have names!!!

"Cup with a cop"?!(Image removed from quote.)
80's Stern yes. Modern Rogen glorifies neo-nazis and thinks the alt-right just have "different ideas", bringing known white nationalists and transphobes on his show to let them speak their mind freely.
I've been thinking about it all afternoon. This morning, I'd happened upon and read through the comments section of Digital Foundtry's Ion Fury video, so I was feeling pretty down about stuff, but this game brought me right back, showing that amazing things are always possible when it comes to games, and (b) this place is full of lots of great, helpful people.
User banned (3 weeks): Thread derailment, white male fragility over multiple posts, inflammatory comparisons concerning racismYour negative action is saying all white men are like this.Thats like saying just assume all black men are criminals because we have so many of them locked up.Disgusting.

“It can’t be done overnight. The idea is to go slow,” Barnes said of the work, calling his program “a blueprint for how we can work with police.”Santa Clarita, however, does not have a police department. The city, where the foundation is based, contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and a spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that it has never heard of Barnes or his organization. Santa Clarita's city manager was also not aware the foundation existed.

Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl ... these people are furries, FYI
QuoteBatman is a trust-fund billionaire furry who gets his jollies committing wanton extra-judicial brutality on Juggalos and the mentally handicapped.He is the most American hero.True. He could not have been born with more privilege, yet lives his life with a victim mentality. His grief trumps all others grief.Ironically we as fans then celebrate Batman for being "self made" and "human" compared to Superman or Marvel heroes who have powers innately. Batman was born on third and we pretend he hit a triple. That Batman is the most popular superhero is also revealing about our culture. His power comes from white privilege, and terrorizing the underclass with his advantages, motivated by his individual grief and applying it to a social group he has dehumanized into being "criminals" and "thugs" and the "criminally insane."Same reason every NBA team has to have two white guys. Otherwise White America has a difficult time respecting "freak talent" — the reality that Black American bodies have dominated White American bodies in every meritocratic application (sports). Superman is unrelatable, but Batman isn't. We can't imagine being born with power and using it for good -- but that's LeBron James, right? But we can relate to Batman, a guy who spends all his time raging on his computer and solving conspiracy theories about whose rule-breaking ass needs to get kicked. Because one time someone was mean to his dad. (lol).Elon Musk is essentially who Batman would be in real life, unfortunately. Self absorbed with a lot of fanatic bootlickers cheering on his libertarian values to their own detriment.Re: furries in generalThis is easy. Live and let live. I can also understand it, even if it's not something I can imagine myself ever participating in. I get it, I think. Being human sucks. Who hasn't wished they could be something other than human? Again -- this is why Batman is popular, too. Taps into a primal empathic connection with animals -- recognizing they are Life as we are, merely in different form -- and imagining a way in which we might be the same in physical form.

Making a thread about how much you don't care about a thing is some peak Gamer(tm) nonsense, and when it's about something that many women legitimately care about, it's a real bad look.

The alt-right has turned the game into the next culture war battlefield over a series of out-of-context spoiler videos and fake rumors about various characters' sexualities and gender identities.Quote from: HobbesPerfect summation.
Perfect summation.
I won't let the alt-right bait me into supporting big corporations founded by members of the Imperial Japanese Navy like Sony and their PlayStation 4™, The Last of Us Part II™ and AstroBot™ exclusively on PlayStation VR™!
Benjipwns sent me countless PMs in which he described how he planned to murder and kinkshame(I don't know what's worse) furries after watching the Goodbye Volcano High trailer. I don't think he is a good fit for the Bore in 2020.
honestly does anyone who gets a boner reading animal farm deserve any respect whatsoever
My friend who is probably the biggest TLoU fan I know refuses to play TLoU2 because Ellie is a lesbian and he refuses to play as female characters that he can't bang IRL. Jokes on him, no one wants to bang him anyway. Also, he is an alt-right Trumpykin.
Hey i just wanted to say the two month ban for this seemed unwarranted.
They will never get a clear cut answer. Moderation on Era is thin-skinned and will just ban again for reasonable questioning of their glaring inconsistencies.
The poster got banned not just for this one post, but multiple posts where they bring up conspiracy theories about Putin and Russia and media coverage. Regardless of what came out of Tara Reade's credibility much later after this ban occurred, at the time, there was no real reason to cast aspersions on the victim. Using such rhetoric is hostile to victims of sexual assault and it makes it difficult for victims to come forward, and that is why such rhetoric has always been against our guidelines. Moreover, bumping a thread 2 months later to complain about your ban, especially over a sensitive issue, is completely inappropriate. This is not how members should express concern about their bans. The member had 2 months to email in an appeal and make their case, and never once did that. We are locking this thread because it's clearly no longer on-topic. We will still be evaluating some of the remaining posts.

Someone got the bright idea to make all the mods ex-GAF posters.
I feel like gamers would have been stoked to play as a lesbian and make out with a chick in a game in the 90s and early to mid 00s

Hmm resetera policemods don’t get why users would resort to protestsbumping public threads to air out obvious poor attempts at policingmoderation when it is clear the system is fundamentally broken despite the claims of leadership and additional funds being supplied by democratsResetera gold?
Super fun, more of a spiritual successor to the cartoon, I had a giant blast, Feig is an idiot for spending 150 million on it.Anyone who calls it the worst movie ever or anything close to it has seen 5 movies in their life.Also The Last Jedi was the best Star Wars movie ever

That said it isn’t horrific, just your standard annual comedy Hollywood farts out. If this were wrapped around standard wedding premise nobody would hand wring over its failure.
