Are they going to let the rest of the site know that rule or do they expect them to have the thread already?

No, so when a poor sack makes a thread about the game that isn't framed negatively on the jump, or some poor bastard tries to defend talking about the game in peace, the mods can lock their threads/ban them for "dismissing concerns." And people like Excel can accuse others of being low-key transphobes for not being up-to-date on what pisses off TransERA that day.

I mean, this new standard ERA is adopting is a bit crazy. At the very least when they banned games in the past, it was for stuff actually in the game itself. Now, that isn't the case anymore. A game can be "clean" of anything that rubs ERA the wrong way but can still be banned if they find out some worker on the game said or did something they didn't like. Or if he game is owned by someone they targeted for canceling. At that point, it is no longer about the game being "harmful" since there is nothing in the game that warrants it being labeled as such.

I just hope they up the violence in the game. That obviously has no harmful effects on gamers.

But if they see a boobie, or hear a word of non-praise to a transgender, that will turn them into a misogynistic transphobic chud on the first pixel.

Or cause them to break out in stigmata, obviously.

I don't give a shit about what those guys say on Twitter, what J.K says about trans people. I wait for more than 15 years for a true RPG in the Harry Potter universe, and for the first, time I'll finally have this game. It's a dream coming true and no one will take this from me.
As a trans person and a veteran gamedev, if I could buy the studio and cancel this game, I will do it and I mean it. Destroying your shitty “dream” is worth it if it means we can save more women and trans lives.

Its fucked up how many teenagers have become radicalized over the internet, by incels or white supremacists or whatever. This is why we need to hold game companies accountable for allowing sexism and racism and bigotry to fester on their platforms and communities.
Are we sure it wasn't the violence of Call of Duty Mobile?

Them threads during conferences over the next year as this game is talked about more and more closer to release will be increasingly awkward. Mods gonna ban anyone who dares utter "damn this looks fun!"?

Yes?

As far as they are concerned, Hect's post in that one thread is all the warning present and future ERA posters will get and deserve. If you don't know the full on bigots working on the HP game, you are "dismissing concerns regarding GG and/or transphobia" and deserve whatever mod action coming your way.

Has resetera talked about the enormous rape potential of the HP series?

Want to fuck a hot girl? Make a polyjuice potion and make her think youre her bf!
Dont want to make a polyjuice potion? Just make a love potion!
Dont want to make a love potion? Just rape them and wipe their memory!


The possibilities are endless!

I know this is slightly off topic, but I genuinely wonder what kind of impact the Biden administration's stance on trans rights has on bigots like JK.

How does their head not explode from hearing Biden's press secretary say:

FACT CHECK:

recall the the use of polyjuice potion to transform oneself into another person's body, the one wizarding concoction that could mercifully allow a trans person feel happy in their own skin...and rowling immediately snuffs out that hope by turning hermione into a humanoid cat, inextricably linking the ridiculousness of furry lifestyle with legitimate trans suffering

If the biggest gaming forum can't even get to 20 pages in their thread leading to the banning of the 10th biggest franchise in the world, that's kind of an indictment on video game forums as a platform rather than praise for the forum in question.

The Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit alone has roughly 16 times as many members as Era ever had. What's more, Era has 2.1k registered users and 3.5k visitors online right now across all four forums, just the Cyberpunk subreddit has 9.4k users online at this moment.

Maybe Jason would be better admitting that it uses Resetera as a news aggregator than anything else, hell I do the same. I just can’t get into Reddit, but I would the first to admit that forums are outdated as hell.

Actual video game discussion thread attempt:

Two pages long.  Derailed by people saying that "boomer shooter" is offensive.

Thread created to discuss the term "boomer shooter."
