I wonder if it might help to raise these issues to influential elected officials like Ocasio-Cortez. She has been actively involved with gamers before, and cares for the LGBTQ community and issues. If more awareness could be raised there, I think it may help raise awareness abroad. Failing real change, provided the senate and presidency flips, they might be willing to place sanctions on Poland until they relent.

I don't think putting this on the US government to deal with is the solution, here. This is something that affects trans people all over the world, and it's up to CDPR and its project leads to change -- which they don't seem willing to.

Quote from: NeoBasch
It doesn't have to be the US Government. I'm from there, and was giving a hypothetical where I saw some progress might be made. I'll sign petitions and speak out, but I think pressure from government may help too. We live in an international community now. Sanctions can have a big impact on countries.

Beyond CDPR, if Poland is forcing LGBTQ people out of their communities, they are violating human rights, and something should be done.

Or maybe we can reach out to the ESRB to tag all games with Transphobia as AO.

Regarding the expectations of what Cyberpunk as a game should or shouldn't be that EatChildren brings up.

I understand that kind of viewpoint, but it is missing the cultural context the game is made in and the contemporary audience it is being presented to.

If you take on a project within the vague genre of "distopian-setting" with the addition of Cyber-* then you will have to be judged on the cultural values that these already carry.
The original tabletop is only a small part of it, and probably overshadowed by things like Blade Runner, Neuromancer, RoboCop, etc. - merely because they have a more visible cultural value (not meaning they are more or less important, just more visible).

CDPR has, in itself, a gigantic cultural reach.
Their interpretation of the Witcher has a bigger exposure than the novels it is based upon.
Depending on how successful the Netflix series will be, it might be overtaken by that in terms of cultural visibility (watch out for the backlash of gamers wanting it to be more true to the games due to a mismatch of cultural expectations).

This means for the contemporary audience the CDPR version of Cyberpunk 2077 is the only cultural representation of CP2077.
But as it is released to an already existing cultural expectation of what "distopian fiction" is with the additional modifier of Cyber-*, that is the basis on what this cultural artefact has to be judged on.

Games have such a reach, they cannot hide behind their own standards anymore. They have a cultural impact - so any addition to the library of games will have to be measured by the standard of our entire cultural knowledge.
Especially if you use a title that already come with cultural values.
(Also completely disregarding Punk here, as that's a whole other discussion).

On top of that: look at 2020. It's a real fucking mess we've built towards over decades of structural oppression, passive-aggressive negligence and backward-looking planning of the future.

Of course we all should be looking at what Cyberpunk 2077 presents itself as and scrutinise it with the entirety of our contemporary reality.

If it weren't for CDPR having such a massive reach, that scrutiny would just make it as relevant as "Postal".
Unfortunately that is not the case and their cultural output is doing actual harm to progressive real-world movements.

(Which is also why I think generalising people who look forward to playing it is absolutely fair game.)

It does really drive home the point home when even the actors voicing the lines sound like they are internally laughing at them. I really don't understand what it is with Netflix and sex scenes in general. There seem to be so many of them in their animated series lately and just... none of the ones I have seen make the least bit of sense in the context they're presented. It's just... the most awkward and weirdest shit, often in the middle of important scenes. It's made even worse when they're constantly jump cutting between them and other scenes that are happening simultaenously, like they couldn't make up their mind about the story they wanted to tell.

and goshdarn it, what's with all the bad language too? Why can't we have more wholesome shows instead of all this pottymouthed fornication?

It has been brought to our attention that a large number of driveby posts are occurring in this thread, typically consisting of a "Who?" type of response. Members are obviously not expected to know every celebrity or popular internet personality; however, there is a noticeable trend that this happens far more in threads where the person is of a minority background. This in turn makes the collection of these driveby posts come off as dismissive and not engaging in good faith.

Moreover, it's really easy to just right-click and Google. There's just no excuse for this kind of post.

Yeah I've seen it with lots of celebrities/musicians/internet stars of all races. Ariana Grande when she did the FF Brave Exvius collaboration immediately comes to mind.

tbf I know the name Travis Scott and knew he was a rapper but couldn't tell you any songs he's done. It's -extremely- easy to be siloed with music nowadays.

Also I like how era moderators continue to fuck up doing a simple job and simultaneously make their own life harder in the meantime.

Normal forum:
"A lot of people don't know who the fuck the OP is talking about, so I as a moderator edited the OP and put that information in there"

Forum where the mods actively hate their fucking userbase:
"Hello, I am an asshole mod, so am making a threadmark and post here mid thread about who the fuck the OP is talking about, and anyone coming in here after this is gonna eat a ban for ignoring this post"

Era special sauce:
"OP didn't provide info and neither will I, but I am going to scour through this thread for every 'who?' post, then cross reference against our secret modbuddy list, then ban selected people arbitrarily and retroactively for a rule I just invented"

People outside the US not knowing who Travis Scott is must obviously be racist and are likely from Poland.

Well done again, Era mods. Hopefully this "go use Google quickly" ability is something we will see when the prominent members shit up threads with things they could quickly Google and save themselves the embarrassment.

My ability to quickly use Google tells me that Stefflon Don is the top UK rapper of 2020. Just need someone from the UK to make the Era thought and watch the US based members floor the thread with "who?" comments. Mods will proceed to do nothing about it or actually put who she is in the OP for all of those who don't know.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Discussing and disagreeing over the tactics of Congressional Democrats is fair game, but avoid making insinuations or attacks against your fellow members. Remember that if you so strongly disagree with somebody that you don't think you can be civil, you need to report them or use the ignore button. Attacking other members will result in a ban.

Reason for ban: user NintenJoe reported it, citing that it made him so angry he was about to issue a death threat.  He wisely decided to report instead.  We cannot have users expressing opinions so inflammatory as to put other users' accounts in jeopardy.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Date the ban will be lifted: never

Roald Dahl was an unpleasant man who wrote macabre books – and yet children around the world adore them. Perhaps this shouldn’t surprise us, writes Hephzibah Anderson.

The article itself was okay (and directly ends with “don’t care, enjoy the books” that contradicts the bitching) but that description made me laugh.


I don’t dare to read the second one that Cunt of Montecristo posted.

"false claims that cis people face violence just for being cis"?

Women do in fact face violence - and sexual violence - just for being women and that presupposes that yes, that is because they are cis women

I like these guys but what was with the guy not remembering the title of the game? They should have done that bit again and edited in because for a start, if you're about to speak as an expert, then it's not wise to forget the very title of the game, and also, seeing as a notable thing about this game is the element of representation that having MM as the main character brings, then it really feels a bit off to flippantly forget the characters name. There are people absolutely stoked that Miles Morales is getting his moment in the sun in the movie and this game, as it finally represents them in mainstream Spider-man media. This is important. Come on, guys, this feels a bit tone deaf.

Missed an incredible thread while this site was down.

Sony, charge me an extra $1 for Miles Morales please

Quote
I know there is constant talk about it here, and within the industry itself, since everyone knows the industry needs more representation from all ethnic groups in general. I don't mean hiring minorities as just programming grunts prone to crunch & burnout in the industry, but placing those individuals in creative positions that would have a more direct impact with leadership and/or creative rolls in the games being made.
With that being said, If I buy Spiderman; Miles Morales, please charge me an extra $1 and use that money for student scholarships to help get more African American and Latino candidates into the industry as an expansion to the Sony University program and expand the program to intake more international talent. The program sounds great for the colleges that take part in them, but lets get more representation at a grassroots level and some smaller schools with more diverse student backgrounds.


Would you pay a $1 extra for Sony games knowing the funds were being appropriated to supporting a more diverse and inclusive gaming industry?

they made $5.65 billion last quarter on PlayStation alone, they don't need my dollar, they could just, y'know, donate some of the literal billions of dollars they're making
So you are not cool giving up a dollar but want someone else to do it. You figure they made more money then you so its cool for them to chip in and you not pay the equivalent. Yet sony invested millions into a giant risk “video game” and they now need to pay all the money. I’m sure you will be the person crying about charities or ethnic groups not getting attention or money.

You want to help then great lets help but don’t be a cheerleader on the sidelines who doesn’t want to lift a finger or donate a single cent to the needy or disenfranchised

What could go wrong with skipping randomly qualified people to leadership (aka management) positions so they can avoid experiencing the work part of "crunch" conditions?

I wonder if it might help to raise these issues to influential elected officials like Ocasio-Cortez. She has been actively involved with gamers before, and cares for the LGBTQ community and issues. If more awareness could be raised there, I think it may help raise awareness abroad. Failing real change, provided the senate and presidency flips, they might be willing to place sanctions on Poland until they relent.

ZeoVGM, part of the prominent member list, suddenly trying to say bringing up post counts as an insult is wrong and "gotcha" attempts aren't cool.

Embarrassing himself and taken to task by someone else with facts. You love to see it.

That "pay another dollar because diversity" thread is shockingly full of people clowning the OP and no bans for it. Even the mods are awestruck by the stupidity of the suggestion by the OP.
