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

Am I crazy for thinking that saying “games don’t need to be for everyone” is inherently ableist because the only people being literally prevented from even having the choice of deciding if a game is for them are people who cannot access the fucking game?

No, you're not and you know you're not because people already got warnings for doing this in accessibility threads.

Deplatform Nazis. Maybe beat the shit out of them. If Trump wasn't covered at all in 2016, but was the Republican nominee, would he have won?

Daily suicide thread.

I'm just resentful and bitter of life itself at this point, as well as sick of anyone who insists "it gets better". I've seen less horseshit out of Donald Trump.

I'd say it's more rational to expect Trump to be a decent president than to expect something in my life to be worth existing for.

It is what it is

die

I dunno man in general these suicide threads make me sad for all the strugglers out there but it just seems like a weird flex to compare the value of your life to the decency of the Donald Trump presidency 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

People are so fucking one track minded that they can't imagine this being about anything but racism/fascism/the alt-right.
Some of y'all DESPERATELY need to unplug.

[VomKriege]

I appreciate you making this thread but as can be seen from every other thread we’ve had on the subject, Era is incapable of having a thoughtful discussion on accessibility without belittling those who need or want these options in their games. I’ve given up on this place ever fixing the toxicity that comes from someone wanting an easy mode to play a game

[Clockwork5]

pretend the purple is something like BLM. Imagine the person yelling is the red hat. People are using too many assumptions on the context of the comic.

in reality it's social mechanics at play here, not the argument or the validity of the argument itself.

That sharp glimmer of rational thought slicing through the cesspool of self-serving bias and outrage.

btw the threadban feature is a whole new level of neurotic control freak psychosis. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in other forums. It's a way to punish wrongthink that's bad, but not bad enough that it breaks any actual rules.

It’s like these dipshits have accidentally brainwashed themselves and are constantly in “active combat” mode. They are literally incapable of shutting the fuck up for a minute to think about a concept with a even a minuscule amount of abstraction and no longer understand that the truth is still the truth no matter what perspective you are looking at it from. That the haphazardly constructed lens which they view the world through is a construct of their community and the more they peer through their lens the more they focus on “The Fight” and lose focus on the world.

The scary part isn’t that they constantly freak out and whip themselves into a state of rage. They scary part is that they have mind fucked themselves so hard that they can’t even understand a god damned comic.

Am I crazy for thinking that saying “games don’t need to be for everyone” is inherently ableist because the only people being literally prevented from even having the choice of deciding if a game is for them are people who cannot access the fucking game?

The OP is not slick about how he just wants to play easy games because he's lazy

In August he made this thread:

So you're playing the game, it's challenging enough, you die a bit, you make some mistakes and it's ok, that's how games are.
And then you get at the boss. You fight the boss, 3, 4, 5, 20, 30 times.
You get frustrated, you finally win after 40 tries.
Do you feel good about you? Well, I don't. I usually feel bad about how I wasted my time because the boss wasn't balanced enough to match the difficulty from the previous area. Difficulty spikes are bad design.
That's why easy/assist mode on the fly is so good, you can make the badly designed boss easy or manageable if you want to. And then you can go back to the original difficulty. So good.
"Git gud"? Git gud my ass. I have a lot going in my life to waste hours upon hours grinding because the developer threw in a badly designed boss in the middle of the game.

To use people who have actual disabilities as excuse to play faster through Sekiro is fucked up.

There's nothing wrong with every game having an easy mode. Even though I think modern games are already braindead easy, it takes nothing away from the game if devs add a few easy mode toggles.

I just have to wonder though. If Easy mode is not easy enough as many upstanding ree posters have claimed.. why are you even playing video games in the first place? Go on youtube and watch a walkthrough or something 

I mean people in there are talking about skipping content wholesale. That's beyond godmode level of easy. Why even pretend like you want to play video games at that point?

[cosmicblizzard]

They are literally arguing against an actual proven and easily verifiable psychological phenomenon in that pbf thread.

[benjipwns]

They always mention games like Sekiro or the Souls games. Why does nobody ever talk about the ableist still nearly impossible difficulty that is "Super Easy" in Super Noah's Ark 3-D?!?

[benjipwns]

The gatekeeping people do with hard games is hilarious

it takes 30 seconds to add basic difficulty modes and i don't wanna hear that BS about how it makes game balance harder. literally just do a toggle that makes me take less damage and deal more. design around "hard" as the default, that's totally fine, but this is a basic accessibility option that in no way diminishes your enjoyment of the game

[benjipwns]

Technically 99.9% of all media is gating disabled players.

Yes. Literally yes.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So are they still disingenuously conflating the concept of "accessibility" with "difficulty" because "bu-bu-but think of the disableds!" gives a perceived moral high ground to plug up the actual objective reasoning for why all games should be quickly completable by everybody?

[benjipwns]

So ResetERA is hiding JK Rowling's bigotry in a mega-thread that people can easily ignore but not disallowing HP threads. Come the fuck on. It isn't that hard. Take a fucking stand for once that isn't some easy niche target (i.e. pedo anime).

if resetera isnt against it, its for it.

they are fine against the easy targets, but when it comes to a difficult decision, like banning the promotion of work by hateful bigots, pedophile showbiz stars like jackson, rapist sports stars etc nothing happens.

They did it because trans members told them it was triggering to constantly have new “JK Rowling is a TERF” threads on the front page. You can kindly stfu trying to use abused children as a cudgel against this forum after the absolute garbage you posted in the Shamima Begum thread though, you don’t give one iota of a shit about victims so don’t come in here pretending like you do.

yikes

[benjipwns]

ideally, you should be able to tweak I-frames, boss pattern complexity, inputs, Player Character speed and Enemy speed (within reason), puzzle complexity, colorgrading, contrast, filters, audio, and subtitles within a game.

this dude wants sports games sliders for every game

[cosmicblizzard]

You know if they really, and I mean REALLY wanted to commit to appeasing the marginalized groups offended by Harry Potter and whatnot while not making it a banned topic entirely, there's a super easy solution.  Allow topics that are only there to educate while forbidding any general positive discussion of the content itself.  Basically the women sexualization thread, but specifically for the Harry Potter game.  Because in a general thread, just having some threadmark talking about Rowling being a TERF is going to get a "okay... so about this quidditch quest..." reaction from the vast majority of the userbase.  And that's why they'll never do it, because most people don't care.

Like what's their other excuse if they're truly committed to protecting those offended?  People will just go elsewhere to discuss the game?  Newsflash, they already do that with the shit you guys have banned.  Sure, maybe discourse isn't booming elsewhere for shit like Criminal Girls, but you banned friggin Azur Lane, a multi-hundred million dollar franchise with a very large community and large cross-over with the currently exploding Vtuber market.  The community can survive without you, just like Harry Potter will survive without you.  Turning the site into a safe space for those genuinely affected like what you guys want people to believe you are will at the very least help them, but that's apparently not an option because you don't actually care when it's a big target (unless that big target is the biggest Youtuber or podcaster in the world).

Oh, I see the "I want a new topic to shit on JKR, not the bitch-eating-crackers megathread" people won

Seems like every conversation about JK is being forcefully pushed over to "everyone's been mean to her".

So blatantly dishonest. Too many takedowns of her argument so the narrative gets shunted along to something easier to defend. Context be damned.

Part of it though is rooted in ambivalence. "I don't know anyone trans" or "this doesn't affect me" so they don't see why people aren't itnerested in opening up "debate" about this sort of stuff or coddling anyone who opposes their rights.

"Her" "Argument" being... somebody not her saying people should chill with the fucking death threats?
Whats the 'takedown' of that argument?
What's the context people are ignoring?

Someone said "Yo, maybe you shouldn't endlessly harass this person" which sparked a new wave of harassment against not the person who said that (and they got some splash-back for saying that, but the main target remains the same).
How's that defensible? How is JKR the subject of that thread in the first place?

He also condemned those who harass transgender people on social media as “equally disgusting” as people who criticize Rowling.

“Similarly, there continues to be a hideous torrent of abuse towards trans people online and out in the world that is devastating,” he said.

Also funny how they seem to have acknowledged that Rowling's latest book was mispresented by the telegraph review but also locked the thread soon after

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Interestingly, I had a completely different interpretation from most.
To me, the person who is actually bad is the angry one in the middle scolding the one on the right for their difference.
The one in the middle is the only one that doesn’t change at all throughout the panels, and remains stubbornly clinging onto the same set of beliefs - i.e the one who has “deeply held beliefs” that they try to impose onto others.
The more they blindly attack the person on the right, the more that person leans into their difference, and the person on the left, being witness to the one-sided, unfair attacks, begins to question their own beliefs to integrate some of the victim’s.

That's the same interpretation everyone has breh.
That's why a bunch of familiar faces are so mad about it. Because they know which of the three they are.

The Nazis took over Germany slowly and mostly legally over a number of years. They engaged in the democratic process and debated their way into various positions of power, made various administrative appointments, evolving from a fringe group of nationalists into the second biggest political party in the country, and when they had just enough people in the right places who were willing to subvert humanity, and the timing was right, the horror began.

This is why you have to physically beat and kill obviously evil people early and often. Many progressives don't want to acknowledge it, but violence is inevitable and often necessary because at the end of the day we're still garbage animals on the inside. We are good at improving living conditions, but shitty at improving our nature. Debating is not enough to ward off evil - some people are too stupid or too broken to be convinced. If we weren't so easily distracted and pacified these days by reality TV and fast food and gadgets, not so worn down by working more and more for less than we're worth, not so isolated by social media, and not increasingly unwilling to hold hands with imperfect allies, we'd have a chance. The earth is going to burn underwater and your grandkids will be lucky to serve a master on a mountaintop plantation someday. The other superpowers are moving to the right as well and they can't match us militarily, so nobody is coming to save you.

Buy a gun before you head to the polls and be prepared for the worst when it turns out that your vote was meaningless.
