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

[benjipwns]

That's so disappointing to see.

See, I understand the government's position. It's a messy situation, and perhaps unpopular with the power brokers and gammons propping them up. But rather than deal with the facts and have to grapple with the ugliness, they want to push it aside, keeping it out of the view of the citizenry, not deal with her and her actions head on with honest assessment. And with the papers catching wind of this situation, I'm sure the government wishes the appeal on Shamima's side's process was much quieter, and not have their abuse of power exposed. I'm sure if the Begums privately appealed to the ministers, everything would be work out for the better.

Question: when this thread (inevitably, I think) reaches OT3 ,would people be down for a rebranding into general feminist discussion of video games, intersecting with LGBT rep etc? I see a lot of that here and I don't want people to feel constrained by the thread title because we've long moved past that (and of course sexualised designs would fall under the "feminist discussion" umbrella).

I think this being primarily intended as a women's space made me feel more comfortable coming here to post my lesbian thoughts on the last of us, to be honest, than that generic diversity thread would have made me feel. I don't know exactly how to voice it but.. the generic diversity thread is such a vague wide net that I don't necessarily feel like I'll get support from that thread the same way I got support from this thread? I'm phrasing it badly I think, I'm not sure how to try and get across what I'm trying to say.

I think the generic diversity and inclusion thread is so inactive specifically because it is casting such a wide net. I trust the women's thread to be there for me with my lesbian issues, even though they only affect a minority of us here.

I would not trust such generic thread to be there for me about X issue. And I imagine other people with other diversity things they want to discuss feel similarly across a broad spectrum of issues. Resetera is largely comprised of a lot of people who believe they are more progressive than they are, and I think that holds back generic diversity threads from seeing much active input, because you see people post some pretty toxic stuff in the main threads sometimes, and you know those people are still likely to be involved in threads like that if they want.

In any case, while a Diversity and Inclusion thread is important to have, I’m not sure it’s the right place for specific feminism discussions. I like how RecLib expressed it above. I have the same feelings.

Maybe a "Feminist Video Game Discussion"/"Sexism in Video Games" megathread similar to the anime one?

Yeah, I agree this thread should be primarily for women and about women. Was just reminding everyone that the other thread does exist and it's a shame it has less activity.

I'd be fine with that. I'll check with other female staff just in case but I can't imagine why anyone would object. And as an aside I'm glad this thread keeps going strong that we might need an OT3, damn <3

I don’t post so much any more but I’m really happy to see this discussion approaching OT3 too.

I wasn't trying to disagree, I knew we were keeping this one a feminism thread. I was just offering my opinion as to why I think that other thread is much less active. More focused threads feel like safe spaces, even for topics that are more outside of the actual focus (like my lesbianism), where as wide open general threads don't really give the feel of safe spaces. I think that is what holds back that thread from seeing more posts.

Ok, that at least explains the intent of the thread.  The idea that it was about costume "design," has been bullshit for far too long.  Unless design means "yards of cloth," the thread never approached any issues of fashion or clothing design. 


I get you don't want to see scantily clad women in video games but let's not pretend it has to do with issues of outfit design, practicality, or how realistic it is.

Wait, Discord is cracking down on porn and offensive language now? I knew something was up when they released that message about becoming more inviting and inclusive in the future, even though they ensured everybody that nothing would change for the established user base that made Discord so successful.

The way Discord was implemented was incredibly stupid in the first place. People adopted it because it had a decent feature set and a nice UI, but it does pretty much nothing you couldn't also do with XMPP, except with XMPP, you can actually host your own servers with your own rules.

There's a lot more rape in Goblin Slayer than Berserk. The first chapter has like two women raped, and a third almost raped.

I didn't read the light novels, so I can't say much about it but I will agree that the DM can't be the main antagonist because there's no interaction between him and the characters.

There hasn't been a rape since chapter 15, we're on chapter 28, soon 29.

That's because the rape scene migrated over to the other side mangas. Brand New Day and Year One.

its a little bit different when you see people cutting off heads on a beach and want to join them in the fun. We all did and thought stupid shit when we were 15, but we also weren't children. We understood the consequences of our actions.

At least that's what I believe. I'm gonna assume most people here will disagree.

Im pretty sure armies don't start their pitch with "come cut some heads"

Begum was interviewed by BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville on 18 February. During the interview, Begum asked for forgiveness and claimed that she still supports "some British values". She said she was inspired to join ISIL by videos of fighters beheading hostages and also of "the good life" under the group.

i think one could settle the argument once and for all over at ree by asking begum if she thinks that trans rights are human rights 

[bork]

Why would he choose to live in a living space too small for even a dog/cat, when he could (with an ounce of maturity) not live in the most popular area of Japan and live literally anywhere else and afford a real apartment.

Because then he wouldn't be able to ride over to or walk to Akihabara, where he can go look at all the nerd stuff that he either can't afford or has no room for in the closet he lives in.

PRIORITIES!

I mean, Japan’s rail system can take you quite the distance in minutes, there should be zero excuse to essentially live out of a closet for an entire year while also working three part time jobs. That’s just self-harm for “””street cred””” among weeaboos online.

He'd probably have to live really far out and might not be able to afford all that train fare.  It seems like he is barely scraping by and didn't plan things out very well. 

His living space makes the tiny dorm I lived in in Tokyo for a summer look like a mansion, holy shit- at least the room I stayed in had a bed, desk, closet, kitchen space, and its own bathroom.  Can't even fathom sharing a toilet with people, especially during COVID.

After all, the political struggle in Europe consists of two sides:

Yeah, the area was relatively okay until recently with all these "fireworks" going on. I even clearly claim I don't think this is related to actual protestors. I don't know who is doing these riots, but it's scary.

You know what's scary what the transgender, Asian and Black community have to go through everyday on ResetEra. IT IS NOT SAFE. YOur streets are, just some fireworks.

I don't think this has to be with BLM at all, to be clear. I support that movement and have donated a lot to it. I think these rioters are another problem separate from the actual BLM protests, and the only overlap is that their graffiti has "#BLM" and "DefundSPD".

this is why this article fucking sucks ass and i have no clue why it was published other than running interference in the exact way it's being deployed here already. japanese video game critics are paid to critique video games. most of them do not have history degrees, it may surprise some people here, but many japanese people know about as much about samurai as people in the west do. the entire popular concept of the samurai and bushido as noble warrior poets sold to the west was the same lie later sold to the japanese people by its' fascist government. how much does the person reading this know actually know about cowboys, american revolutionaries and soldiers in the civil war besides movies and what grade 9 history taught you? do you think that would give you the exact same license to assess the historical accuracy or potential harm of something for someone who has actually studied these things? or maybe someone who's culture was irreparably impacted in some way because of american imperialism?

i'm not going to bother trying to continue arguing over this because this community truly does not give a fuck about any opinion from a marginalized person unless that opinion happens to make them feel real good about their current favourite video game. i'm sorry i think ghost of tsushima subscribes heavily into a nationalist retelling of japan's history popularized by a brutal empire we are not even a hundred years removed from. but yeah sure it's all faux outrage.

this is why this article fucking sucks ass and i have no clue why it was published other than running interference in the exact way it's being deployed here already. japanese video game critics are paid to critique video games. most of them do not have history degrees, it may surprise some people here, but many japanese people know about as much about samurai as people in the west do. the entire popular concept of the samurai and bushido as noble warrior poets sold to the west was the same lie later sold to the japanese people by its' fascist government. how much does the person reading this know actually know about cowboys, american revolutionaries and soldiers in the civil war besides movies and what grade 9 history taught you? do you think that would give you the exact same license to assess the historical accuracy or potential harm of something for someone who has actually studied these things? or maybe someone who's culture was irreparably impacted in some way because of american imperialism?

i'm not going to bother trying to continue arguing over this because this community truly does not give a fuck about any opinion from a marginalized person unless that opinion happens to make them feel real good about their current favourite video game. i'm sorry i think ghost of tsushima subscribes heavily into a nationalist retelling of japan's history popularized by a brutal empire we are not even a hundred years removed from. but yeah sure it's all faux outrage.

i am truly fucking sick of this.

Samurai popcorn flicks are deeply problematic. It doesn’t matter that the Japanese audiences loved the game. You need to listen to ME and MY feelings! This is imperialist Japanese propaganda 

Who (older than 15) believes in the noble caste of *anything*? How is this a surprise, to discover that real life people aren't like depicted in fantasy movies? Do they expect the wild west to be like a spaghetti western? I'm seriously puzzled by where the big controversy is coming from.

There is no controversy. It’s just mentally ill narcissists taking the equivalent of a pop knight or cowboy movie and victimizing themselves over it.

This thread is just wild and peak neogaf dogpile culture

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

"GUESS OPS NOT COMING BACK"
OP comes back

"LETS SEE PHOTOS OF THIS SUPPOSED DAMAGE"
OP posts photos

"JUST BECAUSE YOU DONATED TO BLM DOESN'T MAKE YOU NOT RACIST THO"
OP is a POC

right now they're claiming those shops he posted photos of must have been boarded up as a preventative measure, when he literally said they were normal shop fronts before the weekend.

They're about 2 steps away from talking about crisis actors, jfc

For a forum that doesn’t feel safe when someone links to The Guardian, they sure don’t give a shit about whether this guy feels safe.
