I find this one interesting. I can see that the joke can be considered as slut shaming but at the same time was the show created and written by women. So should Netflix have kept those women from writing about what they want?

Meh, the joke is so tame. This is an attention grab. I'd bet no one knew or gave a shit about this until Taylor and her fans blew it up themselves.

Capitalizing on communities like ERA that love nothing better than a good victim. Particularly victimhood along these lines.

If that stuff is true that’s not good, but I just don’t get ERAs behavior of regularly putting someone in the pillory. Look I’m by no means alt-right nor a trump supporter or Pro Gamergate/Anti SJW or whatever, but what I don’t get is that so many people from the industry here get crucified, banned or boycotted etc pp without even being asked about it?! I mean ok for obvious cases like the whole Ubisoft disaster I’ll get it.
What scares me is if ERA would be a government than it probably wouldn’t be any better than any alt-right guys. There is no court, no benefit of the doubt, no possibility for those people to explain or defend or getting a chance to right their wrongs.

Instead of actually talking to those accused people, asking them about the stuff and see how they respond or give them a chance to defend and explain themselves, maybe even to apologize there is at least one thread a week where someone gets pointed out, accused and crucified with lots of era users saying they won’t buy game x/y.

There are lots of hard working people behind those games and all you can do is accuse one of them and then boycott the whole game without even asking the accused person about it or give the rest of the team the benefit of the doubt nor respect. I mean WTF?! That’s like in the dark ages when someone shouted WITCH(ER) and everyone burns or lapidates the person without even asking. That’s just sick! And that is something I can’t stand that much longer on this board tbh.

Thank you for posting this… i feel exactly the same.

Yeah this place can really be toxic like that and I hope this sort of behavior weeds itself out. Surely it has to.

People who want to fight oppression should join a socialist organization. They'll find very quickly that this online culture doesn't build power in real life.

Yep. And this is one of the more absurd examples I’ve seen of it.

Apparently now just simply asking if the person in charge of a small game has toxic views is a witch hunt and people would be worried about Era as a government.

When their post started with
"Look I’m by no means alt-right nor a trump supporter or Pro Gamergate/Anti SJW or whatever, but..."
I didn't bother with the rest.

I find anyone using the word witch hunt these days is suspect considering the kind of people who have been using it recently (like traitorous former presidents)

I think this is sound advice for life in general. If somebody starts with "I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/a nazi/anti-Semitic/etc but...", I'm just going to walk away.

I was also an alcoholic when I first started college. I would get drunk like 2 times a week, sometimes 3.

How is he even alive. He got drunk twice a week. That's mental. He's a mental case.

But it gets worse -

I also used to smoke a shit ton of shisha, BY MYSELF. Like 1-3 times a day.

Not even Mike Tyson could handle that. 3 joints a day. That's mental. He's mental as fuck.

is perfectly fine and accepted by the layman.

I see the sentiment a lot on this forum that people find the word gamer either offensive or cringey and this is ridiculous. It's a perfectly acceptable term for someone who plays games as a hobby. Any feelings you associate with the word are entirely and probably a reflection of some misplaced shame you carry with your hobby. Just like we call people cyclists, or readers, bookworms, cinephiles, movie buffs, foodies or binge watchers we can define people with an ardent interest in games "Gamers".

It really feels like some people on the site are stuck in the mentality of school and being social outcasts to look at a word and recoil from being defined as it.

Games are as diverse as any other entertainment medium, They can reach lofty hights and be called Art or they can be hammy schlock and fodder.

This is just straight up wrong. Almost all games are based in fantasy or sci-fi and most would be classified as "action".

Compared to film and TV, there are desperately few games that would qualify as drama or comedy and very few where the conflict is resolved without violence.

Although, for a forum whose inhabitants almost exclusively watch comic book movies, they can be excused for not understanding what diverse means.

How did the lead designer let this happen?.

Did they sneak it past him?

I like how the lead designer is suddenly transphobic despite never having said anything like that. And instead of this making them question their perception of him, it must have been "sneaked past him". After all that more likely than RE being wrong.

So the two recent AAA games with notable trans representation are banned on Era for being transphobic?

It kinda is though. Why would your present gender not matching the gender you were assumed to have at birth be even remotely relevant to this game? How would you even know a character was transgender unless it's a plot point in the story? Do you go off physical presentation and how that matches up with your criteria for man / woman / male / female? Yikes! Wouldn't the revelation that the character was trans be problematic anyway, akin to deadnaming?

I feel like they want the kind of sterotypical representation that a transphobe would create.

I'd be interested to see what trans people outside of that nut-hutch have to say about what would constitute 'proper' representation for trans people in a game that never touches on trans issues.

That is an interesting point. I wonder how many people actually want to create a super masculine guy that uses she/her pronouns. Make that an npc you meet in the game and people would riot.

[ShutUp]

Can't believe the lowly peons working on the game had the gall to try and sneak that past the lead game designer. Thankfully REEEE caught on to this act of treachery before even more pixels harmed trans lives.

Kyuuji will no doubt volunteer to get a copy upon release to see how characters in the game world react to a trans character. So, so brave that Kyuuji.
