Doxxing Files |OT| Do not use a pandemic to make a platform wars thread

[Nintex]

Mods for the love of god lock the thread please. This is getting way, way, WAY too toxic.

Mods must be panicking right now.

[ShutUp]

Straight up bullying Black Chamber and imploding the site. TransEra's defining moment.

[Nintex]

Yup. It's gotten especially bad with this game because of how much CDPR has leant into encouraging that sort of fanboy behaviour.

I'm dreading what the review thread is going to be like. They're a shitshow at the best of times, especially when a review is critical of things like transphobia for instance.

100%

[benjipwns]

That thread is disgusting. The thread itself is now transphobic.

[ShutUp]

They don't really know what transphobia is, do they? They sure treat a very real problem like a buzzword.

[Nintex]

Man some of those gamers are legit.

Ignoring the absolute trash fire around them and still discussing the game

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

God damn.

It's nuclear now.

This is scary.

They played us like a fiddle!

[ShutUp]

sorry to say the website is already splitting, a whole bunch of communities are significantly less active now than they were a year ago. There's no one event to mobilise the creation of a new forum (which would turn out exactly the same anyway) but people are leaving.

Stop inventing enemies on a board full of people already on your side and you'll be fine. Or leave, try taking over an already established board with bullshit like you've pulled with Cyberpunk on Era and you'll actually see some vile responses and treatment or even just get laughed off the site. Totally up to you guys. Just stop playing the victim on a site that treats you like spoiled children.

[Nintex]

People already going to blame Kyuuji for the fact the screencap of the PM even exists sadly... Because that's totally the real issue.

Lmao now Kyuuji is the victim in PM gate 

[benjipwns]

One lesson is going to be don't respond to Kyuuji's PM's. Because while ignoring them is definitely transphobic, responding will get them shared on discords.

[ShutUp]

And right in the middle of all this...

Cyberpunk 2077 looks amazing. Love everything I'm seeing about the game. Can't wait to play.

 

[nudemacusers]

That thread is disgusting. The thread itself is now transphobic.

Cyberpunk 2077 development begins. The Resetera Cyberpunk 2077 OT goes live November 18th, 2020. Human decisions are removed from moderation. Bans begin to accumulate at a geometric rate. It becomes transphobic at 8:14 p.m. Eastern time, December 5th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Report that shit using the Ticket system! You don't even need an actual e-mail, just put a fake one in and use a username from some loser like Enzom21.

[Crumb]

Damn tonight was a good night for the bore member count.

[ShutUp]

You can't. As long as people can get hyped and just post their excitement, there is no real way to have an actual discussion on the issues since people will just continually ignore them.

Wait until they actually try to have an actual discussion about all of these supposed issues with the game/company, only to find out that CDPR is doing quite a bit of positive work in a country that's very much against the LGBTQ community.

[nudemacusers]

Why can't I be excited about this game? It looks awesome.

It is okay to be excited for Cyberpunk 2077 and to want to play it. Do not attack other members merely for being excited for the game or planning to buy the game.

piss off the forum or piss off the mods? this man chose wisely.

[benjipwns]

Embarrassing. Just embarrassing. If you view your hype for a game - any game, no matter what game it might be - as more important than the pain and suffering of a marginalized community, I hope you take a long look at yourself and ask yourself why that is.

PAIN AND SUFFERING

[benjipwns]

Bro, you know what you're doing with this.

I'm talking about the game. Witcher 3 was incredible. CPDR are great developers. I'm excited. What is the problem?

[Don Rumata]

Benji, use your Admiral powers and make Black Chambers a mod, please.
It's the only logical conclusion to this Civil War.

 

[ShutUp]

God bless Christopher. Daring to use the thread for the very reason it originally existed. Enjoy the ban, bro.
 

[benjipwns]

The arguments saying only like truly abhorrent games about school shootings etc are banned should be reevaluated given how toxic this shit is. What would the site lose if all Cyberpunk discussion was banned? Maybe some members would cry censorship and leave, but if the alternative is losing members of the trans era community then... just take that L tbh.

💯💯💯💯

mistake one is to engage directly w/ the quote system. ban incoming

[benjipwns]

Can like, any mod, chime in to say if at least some kind of discussion is happening.

lol no

[Nintex]

Hmmmm, I don't think so. You can simply ignore me if you don't like my excitement for the game. This is what was explained to me in the past. Are we suddenly selective in how this works?

A new challengers approaches

User Banned (1 week): Misgendering a member

Uh, so where did the PM screenshot come from? Did Kyuuji share it?

She had to, it was a PM.

Mods are awake, handling the important issues.

[ShutUp]

Thread unlocked. For the record, Black Chamber and Vestan had long been planning acknowledgment of the controversy with CDPR and support for the trans community in their OT. We spoke with them several hours ago and re-confirmed that and we do believe that was always their plan. While they could have communicated this publicly clearer and sooner, it was never in question.

Vestan did get too defensive and will serve a temporary ban for it, but we want to be clear that the main thing everyone wanted (acknowledgment from the thread creators in the OT) is happening and was always going to happen. This discussion did not have to become about our fellow members, and going forward it must not be.

For sake of clarity: Criticism and discussion of the upcoming OT and its scope is fine. The issues surrounding the CDPR's transphobia are important, and knowing how they'll be handled in the OT is also important. That was always fine. But personal attacks on other members is not. Ad hominem hasn't helped anyone or anything about this situation.

In the future the staff will work more closely with the makers of contentious OTs to ensure that these things are communicated better. Things did not have to escalate to this point.

Literally every part of this mod post after the reopening has been repeatedly ignored as the Trans members just went right back to shitting up the thread and attacking Black Chamber.

Meanwhile the one who kept calling the trans mod "they" walks free 

Also he had already edited his post to correct it, like what the fuck?

[benjipwns]

The only viewable to posters "Constructive Community Discussion" thread is back, people are bumping it to complain about the transphobia and the lack of mods doing anything to stop it.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Someone asked if that was really their halloween costume 60 days ago, shitlord

[Propagandhim]

The contrast between the posts about pain and suffering and people popping in every 10 posts to say, "Yo this game is gon' be off the heezy!!"

pls no doxx thx

[ShutUp]

What apology? The one where he patted himself on the back on his triumphant return from the depths of trans users "bullying"?

Genuine apology. It gets this kind of response.

And endlessly attacking a member is no longer bullying.

It's time to share your filler PMs.

[benjipwns]

Can we wait to see what happens with Section 230 before I do that?

[Borealis]

Now that everyone's in here, what was the Ket Kat business?

[I am (not) a weeb]

lmao these dorks just can't comprehend that they aren't ignored for being trans, they're ignored for being childish, bullying assholes

i bet most people there agree with them too, but it's absolutely pointless to engage with them

having the right views on issues and being an obnoxious prick aren't mutually exclusive

[benjipwns]

Yeah I just feel sad and dead inside

[Cheststrongwell]

Hobbes in there getting his dick shined 

[benjipwns]

Now that everyone's in here, what was the Ket Kat business?

Ketkat was banned for calling out the transphobia and incompetency of the mods. TransEra agreed to unperson Ketkat and they were never mentioned on ResetERA.com again.

[Uncle]

[benjipwns]

TransERA deserves better. This site was built to be a progressive and welcoming community and we are falling prey to the same Gamer bullshit that every other site does.

There is no room for transphobia in ERA. There is no room for a game made by a company that openly and unabashedly fetishizes Trans lives for their stupid new toy.

Fuck that. Fuck Gamers.

FUCK THAT, GAMERCIDE NOW

[Uncle]

[ShutUp]

A game set in a Cyberpunk future fetishizing people mixing up body parts? No way.

And the welcoming community bullshit sort of rings hollow when you bully a member solely because they didn't say the word "yes" in response to repeated attacks about whether or not they will include the supposed problems in a games OT.

[benjipwns]

In every single one of the community meetings stuff like this was brought up and that’s why a lot of people from those communities have left.

Hmm, what's the common thread here?

[nudemacusers]

let's be real nobody sincerely cares about cyberpunk 2077's transphobia. like, this can't even be a blip on the radar in the lives of anyone. what we are here for is getting that sweet syrupy drama rush.

edit: this is illustrated by the fact the thread pivoted to chair memes immediately to include the most invested people in the 'dialog'. everyone is just here to sling shit. let's just be real about it.

[benjipwns]

See this shit right here. I am 100% not transphobic. I have a great amount of respect for transpeople. I've had massive arguments with close friends for being rude to transpeople. Attacking me and saying my thoughts on this matter is becuase I am transphobic is the exact shit I'm talking about.

Mods ban this filth, he's dogwhistling.

[benjipwns]

I can't recall the last time an issue this heated has been met with this degree of silence from the moderation staff.

The silence speaks volumes.

This issue isn't heated at all, it's fighting over small degrees of differences lol

[benjipwns]

TransEra doesn't want Cyberpunk banned anymore than the let's call them... CP fans... do. They would have to wait for something new rather than continue to use this one issue as their cudgel in the endless drama wars.

[nudemacusers]

imagine having a serious lengthy conversation about gender representation with someone and they drop in some goofy meme shit in the middle of it to 'take the edge off'. at best i'd think their investment was insincere, at worst i'd think they had a personality disorder.

[benjipwns]

After reading this thread and other past CDPR-related thread, I have made the decision to pass on this game to show support to the trans community here. Just though I'd let the trans community know you have allies here.

If you think that's gonna be bad just you wait for the GTA 6 hype threads.

And by next weekend that turns into "oh man, these impressions are awesome. Was going to end up buying used because fuck CDPR but I need this game. Damn all of you! I donated to a trans charity recently so at least I'm doing what I can"

[Uncle]

Now that everyone's in here, what was the Ket Kat business?

the actual story not the benji incompetent summary:

for years ketkat was a prominent member of the site throwing her weight around and ban baiting

the initial ketkat drama happened one year ago, and this is era's account of what happened



in response to all this, the mods capitulated and unbanned ketkat and apologized profusely and trans/mental health era were so happy to have their kween back



then a couple months later she was perma'd for some random bullshit and literally no one cared

[clothedmacuser]

Where the hell is MessofanEgo in all of this?

Kinda strange he's not taking the good side.  He's strangely absent when it comes to trans rights.
