If any of them actually watched the Hoeg Law video, they’ll be cancelling the shit out of him.  He espouses everything they hate about open discussion.

This video is indefensible.

-Doesn't even acknowledge the trans community or any of the comments/action of Rowling
-Doesn't acknowledge that buying the game further funds her attacks on the trans community
-Writes off her words and actions as "a difference of opinion"
-Mocks era for suggesting that we ban discussions of the game
-Writes off gamergate harassment as a handful of bad apples that gamergate can't be held responsible for
-Pretends like conservatives are being attacked simply for being conservative and not for their bigoted views
-People with "differing opinions" just need to have a conversation! So i guess trans people just need to talk it out with JK rowling and women just need to talk it out with gamer gaters i guess?
-Shouts out neogaf
-High fives Colin Moriarty in his twitter replies to the video

My goodness.

[joeboy101]

Kratos spends the entire game shirtless and jacked, what is this wife buying moron talking about?

Messyego can fuck off.

James Bond (at least in the Craig era) has at least one shirtless scene in every movie, hell, even the torture scene in Casino Royale is sexualized.

And Leisure Suit Larry as a "sexual" character?  The whole fucking point of the games is that he's a guy who can't get laid.

Go back to making gross videos of eating chicken wings, dumbass.

Not to mention Geralt. That stealth Chud actually arguing that Geralt wasn’t sexualized.

Remind me Messofaman, how did Witcher 3 start again?

I will never understand how J K Rowling just wanting to not be demonized and left alone is something you can have an opinion against

Like really, when you say it’s a difference of opinion your “opinion” is that she shouldn’t be allowed to be just an everyday person who goes on with her life in peace.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were several trolls in that thread that don't believe what they say (I know for a fact Yuoke and Richter1887 are like that).  Some performative, some just there to be shitstirrers.  People take the bait too much to argue with the potentially few genuine people in there.

This doesn't surprise me. Really all Obama ever wanted was to be a celebrity, but he just wasn't actually good at anything so he had to get into to politics.

Also didn't Michelle have a podcast on spotify to? Is that still going?

Two sanctimonious centrists, no thanks. Also, fuck people who drink and drive

 

I wish there was a thread called "ResetEra's shit list" as this is the first I'm hearing about Obama being on it. Seriously, it's getting hard to keep up. I like both people, so it means little to me other than avoiding negative replies.

Seems like he was a neo nazi based on the evidence.

Speaking of the Alt-Right, have you all forgotten Gaborn's political leanings?

At the old place he argued that racism against Asians was justified because "Chinese people operate restaurants which are open on Christmas day"

holy shit,

I looked for a few minutes but couldn't find it.

I absolutely believe you btw, no reason not to. I wonder if he would have changed his views later in life if he had been afforded the chance, theres plenty of stories about conservatives that did as much.

Gaborn has been re written in history as a conservative.   

That place is nuts.

If ERA is still around when B-Dubs bites it or just fucks off from the place, can you imagine how fast he's gonna get retroactively cancelled.
Everyone is gonna suddenly remember B-Dubs was a racist whenever his name comes up.

I don't get the reticence for banning violent videogames.

If seeing boob armor turns you into a rapist, and seeing an OK symbol turns you into a Nazist, why can't spending hours on GTA turn you into a mass shooter?

It seems like people have Play-Doh brains for everything BUT that one specific subjects.

Gaborn was a hardcore Q Anon guy. He once told me that "the War on Christmas is the most essential fight in human history after Gamergate."

[STAFF]So this is a uniquely awful situation where both the creator of the IP and a senior producer on the game have unrepentant bigoted views.

The team has talked it over at length and as a result we've decided to implement a total ban on threads for promotional media for the game. This means there will be no threads for trailers or official announcements, no hype threads, no fluff pieces about its features. This functionally bans almost all threads leading up to release, unless there are major new developments about the controversy or something along those lines.

This is the first time we've done something like this and we consider this a very exceptional case. It's not just one bigoted game designer that made the difference here. JK Rowling's singular reach and influence, how closely that influence is tied to the Harry Potter IP, and what she chooses to do with that power, is a unique problem on top of this latest controversy.

We're going to revisit whether to have an OT much closer to the game's release. Learning from what happened with Cyberpunk, if there is an OT, it will have a text-only OP created by staff that lays out the controversy with the game and IP. The main reason to have an OT at all is the same one we've articulated before: Some minority members want a space to discuss the game's contents where they will not be shouted down by bigots.

For now though we're definitely not going to be platforming the marketing. If you see any threads for that stuff please report them. If you're unsure about a thread you want to post, please contact the staff first to check before creating it. [/STAFF]

They are going the CP 2077 route again with Harry Potter. So only negative threads about the game will be allowed. They don't even have the guts to ban an OT

What about other Warner Bros. products?

Why is the thread still open? Have the mods never heard the phrase ‘ There is no such thing as bad publicity’?

Why is the thread still open? Have the mods never heard the phrase ‘ There is no such thing as bad publicity’?

So they can gloat in the praise of this BOLD STANCE

[benjipwns]

They should probably ban ANY threads about Harry Potter or any of JK Rowling's other works. (Also anything produced by Warner Bros. who profits most off of Harry Potter.) There's no excuse to protect the marginalized from the video game only.

[Averon]

Shouldn't they be banning all of WB Games, then? They knew about those YT videos and this guy's views but didn't care and hired him anyway. If they are going to start banning discussion of games based on who owns the IP or who is working on it and nothing in the games themselves, then all of WB Games are "tainted" and should be banned. That means no Mortal Kombat. No Lego games. No Lord of the Rings games. No DC games, which include Batman and Suicide Squad.
