What is their issue with the sexy ads other than being prudes? All I got from that post is that the MILFGUARD ad is bad because...it's bad.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I dunno, once you start going down the "One death is a tragedy, many deaths is a statistic" route you're entering dangerous territory that ultimately costs more lives.

For me things like COVID are different because that's a virus that kills indiscriminately. Much like a hurricane or earthquake.
Murder and manslaughter is 100% preventable.

Sure, but again, when you're demanding a week of memorial under the claim your pet cause is the worthiest and most at risk cause there is, and it turns out that in fact using your own numbers, you're statistically less likely to be the victim of a homicide than almost any other demographic, it might be in bad taste to raise the question as to why you need a week of remembrance for that, but that question is still hanging there.

Murder and manslaughter might be preventable in the case of being criminal acts perpetuated by people and theoretically avoidable, but what percentage of those murders could / would be prevented by giving money to pro trans lobbyists? What legislation do they want that would stop that? Make murder more illegal?

Hey Arithmetican,

Kudos for coming back and re-engaging. I am as happy by that post as I was annoyed by the initial post I replied to. Thanks for taking the time to understand. It really is as "simple" as they made it without any subtext. Which aside from the transphobia issues would be offputting anyway, they really don't give the impression that they have put any real "effort" into expanding the genre or doing anything fresh or original, and just like (as I have said before) Neon, sex and blade arms.

Anyway I'm happy you could understand a little better and felt comfortable enough to return.

I always loved that "We couldn't find a good 'blank' actor so we just hired a white person to be 'blank'".

Maybe the reason those people aren't 'good actors' is because they are never getting a chance.

And of course an abled person playing a disabled person would seem like a better actor in that role because you go "wow I didn't know they were disabled" and are paying zero attention to anything else in that role.

There are lots of other neuro-atypical people, like RJ Mitte, who phenomenally played Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad (he has cerebral palsy). Tal Anderson is autistic and plays in the series "Atypical" as well. There's lots. With less-visible neuro-atypical actors, you may never actually know! I think I read somewhere once that Sir Anthony Hopkins has Asperger's, and there are more I'm sure!

“THERE IS TONS”

Mentions two.

“AND A LOT WE DONT KNOW”

Anthony Hopkins has aspies?

Also, didn’t RE hated the term Asperger because he was a Nazi or something?

Oooh, this is rich.

If you were temp banned, or requested a ban, I just want you to know that at least as far as I’m concerned, you are always welcomed here.

Let’s play, ‘What’s more Ridiculous!’

1) The assertion that he is welcomed in that thread after being banned for being there?

Last week we decided we were going to adopt a kitten, so the animal shelter sent us some pictures of kittens available. My daughter picked out a little black and white kitten and named it Tuxie. We paid for it, and we set an appointment for yesterday morning to come pick her up after she's had her shots and spayed and all that. For days, all my kid had been going on about how she couldn't wait to get Tuxie, how much she was going to love Tuxie, how cute Tuxie was.

We get there yesterday morning at our appointed pick up, and they can't find Tuxie. That's because it turns out that they fucking adopted her to someone else the day before by accident. The shelter tried to claw her back, but the family wasn't giving up the cat. So great, thanks for ruining my daughter's life. That went over real well.

This whole episode with GA feels like that. This is supposed to be signed, sealed, and delivered, but I have no faith in the universe to not somehow fuck everything up in the end. Not trying to doom post, but fuck if I'm just not so very fucking tired of shit constantly going sideways.

He really is. He seems, IMO, to be the only famous person with any common sense regarding this situation, pointing out logical issues on both sides. I like how he explains Trump’s path to victory, should he want it, in a logical way; it’s not the path most people may think it is!

It's amazing how much the discussion about autistic people rarely includes autistic people.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/assassin%E2%80%99s-creed-valhalla-and-the-unfortunate-implications-acoup-blog.329978/

Probably because autistic people aren't little bitch ass millennials and they just try to get through life and do their job without complaining about everything.  If I had my choice I'd hire a dozen autistics over someone born post 1985.

Anything they're attempting to say (which has questionable value to begin with) will be lost on the majority of their #gamer audience, who will see these ads and be like "hahah, that's hot" and stereotypes are enforced and sexists are emboldened.

"Stupid people won't understand this so it should be banned," the constant ballad of Era

9min 42 seconds for an example.

Being a devil's advocate is a bad thing. A bad faith thing. It shows someone doesn't have skin in the game and makes dispassionate and directionless arguments, without offering solutions. In 1983, the Pop abolished the devil's advocate and was able to improve things. Just a little trivia. Get rid of the devil's advocate, bring in the angel's advocate.

Isn't the whole point of a devil's advocate to eliminate chain ganging and group think?  With some proper devil's advocates we could have avoided Bay of Pigs or the Iraq war.  I'm kind of out of my depth here but i've been up for like 32 hours.

Yes, Pope John Paul II abolished that office so it would be easier for the Church to declare someone a "saint".

Yeah, most people with basic critical thinking skills appreciate the value of things like challenging preconceptions, wanting evidence for assertions, questioning on what basis an authority is being asserted or demonstrating independent thought on reaching a conclusion.

but playing angels advocate, if you believe something hard enough thats basically the same as it being objectively true.

Tbh between the hypermoderated sticky and their toothless CDPR  thread policy I'm starting to be convinced that maybe the mods are knowingly trying to run transera off the board.

[Averon]

Yeah, the CP 2077 threads continued as if nothing had happened, which makes all this "lock the threads for 24 hours" all the more feckless and inconsequential  . People are talking about the game and ignoring the desperate attempts to derail it by simply ignoring those attempts by talking over and around them.

This is what happens when people finally figure out there's no discussion to be had. You either agree with them or get banned. The simple way to avoid all that is to ignore them. Hell, the forum has an easy to use ignore feature, which makes ignoring them all the easier! If they want someone the blame as to why people are ignoring them, look in the mirror and then look at the biased, ban-happy mods that indulge them.

[Straight Edge]

Every time they drive-by post "fuck CDPR", they also knowingly bump the thread.

 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Tbh between the hypermoderated sticky and their toothless CDPR  thread policy I'm starting to be convinced that maybe the mods are knowingly trying to run transera off the board.

I think it's more that at least some portion of the mods know what a fucking nothingburger the "accusations" against the game are, and the way some people are going all in on turning it into their object of 5 minute hate is more a power play than actual 'concern' (even though eras own dumbfuck ruleset actively endorses concern trolling).

Oh, a guy made an arguably transphobic meme reference, got fired for it, and the company apologised? How is that not settled?
You know who made an actual transphobic meme reference, never apologised, and never got fired?
https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/699781763346800640

Everyone is explicitly sexualised in in-universe advertising? But somehow that's uniquely transphobic because trans people are apparently fetishised more than any other group?
That's bullshit. Go to any fucking general porn site. Trans porn isn't pulling the big numbers, in content produced or consumed.
If you're trans and your kink is futanari hentai or whatever and that's what your HDD is filled with, that's a YOU thing, not a general society thing.

Poland is having a reactionary pusback against LGBT rights, so the actual LGBT employees who work at CDPR somehow 'don't count' because they're polish?
CDPR selling fucking merch that explicitly supports LGBT rights and donates to LGBT causes somehow 'doesn't count' because of their baseline Polish homophobia? FOH.
People fighting for rights in a country where those rights are actually at fucking risk are not "less" LGBT supporters than some fucking upper middle class slacktivist in San Francisco because the environemnt they live in is more hostile towards them - they're more of an activist.

[NekoFever]

I laughed at the guy admitting he had one of the attempted derailers on ignore so hadn’t seen the “fuck CDPR” drive by. Which they’re adamant isn’t drive by posting because it’s different when they do it.

[Averon]

I wouldn't say they are trying to run trans people off the boards. More like trying to run shitstirrers like Ketkat off the board. Can you imagine if Ketkat was still around during this furor over CP 2077? It would make Kyuuji's current crusade against CDPR child's play in comparison.

Yeah, I meant the hype thread, not this one. I feel like banning hype threads (OT, review thread, trailers, Night Wire stuff) for a period of time (one week, two, until the end of the year, or permanently) starting from the launch week - or maybe even starting from the beginning of the month - would be way more effective. I'm sorry to anyone who wishes to discuss the game considering its transphobic content. But maybe they could even use this thread for that.

 
Yes. Have all the people that want to actually talk about CP 2077 discuss it in a bait thread littered with landmines. That's totally wise and not a blatant attempt to get a lot of "problematic" people banned.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

They basically ran John off of the site over nothing. 

you'll notice dark10x still posts on twitter, but stays the fuck away from era

[Averon]

If they "supported" (not whole heatedly, since it obviously doesn't weight on their conscience) the cause, chances are that something could possibly be done, and maybe CDPR would finally do something about it and apologize

What do they want CDPR to apologize for?

-The problematic tweets? The guy who made them was let go from the company a while ago. What else can CDPR to do?
-Promoting a woman cosplayer cosplaying as a trans character? Trans women are women, so why is that an issue? The cosplayer is a woman...playing a woman. This attack is nonsensical.
-The sexy ads? Completely in character for a dystopian mega corp run society. This just make them sound like prudes, which they so desperately claim they are not
-The ad with the trans character? It is far from being universally accepted that that's transphobic. There's been arguments both ways whether that ad could be considered transphobic or not.

All while this is happening, CDPR is promoting trans musical artists on the CP 2077 OST
Selling merch to raise funds for LGBT friendly charities
They are doing all this while the country they operate out of is becoming more and more hostile towards LGBT people--and people who support them.

TransERA has built an entirely fictional CDPR in their heads and won't let go. Crunch is the only clear cut legit thing you can bust CDPR for, and I doubt they care about that as much as they like to use it as a vector of attack on CDPR.
