John stopped posting here for a reason.
For reasons around his personal health. He wasn't insulted he was asked questions around a video. Please don't misrepresent what happened if this is what this thread is for, since it's been long-since resolved and only crops up when people feel a need to distort what happened around the Ion Fury situation. You're not doing either end any favours by doing so.

He wanted to spend more time with his family.
 :nothing

"The situation was resolved"

Sure... That's why John stopped posting

It's pathetic how they are trying to wash their hands in regards to driving John from ERA. They were dogpiling the man in threads unrelated to Ion Fury, made all sorts of accusation his way without evidence, and made it impossible for him to interact with the forum in any normal capacity. Now that they feel a sliver of guilt for pushing John's mental health to the brink, they are trying to rewrite what happened.

There isn’t something that is being addressed but I really feel needs too.

The OT for Cyberpunk is more toxic outwardly than people are giving it credit for and I don’t even mean the person who is making the stories or whatever.

It proudly broadcasts that it has Media impressions and it been said over and over again how the Media is glowing about it, it is actively drawing people in and could be a source of FOMO...all these press out let’s and media are in here and blowing up? Well I need to see what they are saying.

Not saying anything can be done, but the unspoken validity and support is already there because Media is actively taking part in the OT and encouraging the behavior.

Yeah the tons of Cyberpunk threads really makes clear how because the game is so big people don't really care. I've struggled with it myself since I've had the game pre-ordered for a long time and it's been my most anticipated game since it's announcement. Personally I'm having to decide to cancel it now or not. Which I'm sure a lot of people would think I need to cancel now for sure, and that I shouldn't support them by buying it. Honestly it is something I'm struggling with, not really a way I can get it used on pc but I could wait until later when it gets cheap. At this point really typing it out it seems more clear I probably should cancel it.

  But at the very least I'm not getting hyped over every drip fed news drop and really i just have a bad taste in my mouth when I read or hear the title of the game due to the studios clear trans hate or dismissal of that group of people. I can't imagine how sick it would make me feel if I was in that group of people myself. I am already associating the game with hate in my head every time I hear it. It kills my whole positive feeling to the game even though I know it's a game I would love the mechanics of and playing it.


No other games I can think of have so many OTs for their marketing every time their marketing machine spins up.

I don't think even Smash got this many pre-release threads. Maybe just the general hype and character reveals, but even so.

It's so hypocritical to promote Cyberpunk this much while having the Trans logo at the same time.

Edit: Okay my brain blanked and didn't notice the logo is gone now. But this thread is still stickied (good).

So much trans hate from a company that doesn't actually have any trans hate. Where in the fuck is this level of delusion coming from?  :lol

The game will come out, people will like it or not and carry on with their lives. This continuous paranoia like CDPR will announce the day of release some Order 66 type of plan to be put in motion to wipe out trans people is getting way way beyond absurd.

All they care about is being a victim. Victims of cdprs, victims of the community which doesn't take their bait, victims of the mods who don't do enough etc.

I’m going to be frank here.

This Mod team are all smart, they knew how this would go just as they know how launch will go and the majority will continue to ignore us if not be out right hostel to us.  This was a band aid, they know it.  We know it.  The people that don’t fucking care or hate us know it.

Unless this game goes as far as to actually put in hate crimes that are on the nose and forced storyline stuff, nothing is going to be done or said that is beyond reformatting what was originally said.

Almost there sweetie.

Where do Kyuuji and Crossing Eden get off now defending whoever the fuck they are talking about.  This is like that streamer who jumped off a bridge and Era's prominent members had to say, "I never said he should kill himself.  Well I did, but I didn't mean it.  It's everyone else who meant it that are wrong."

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?
Hire trans people for both leadership and lower positions, sensitivity readers, and make sure all employees go through a "diversity training," highlighting the importance of these issues both internally and to their customers.

Sounds like the perfect gig for a reseterian. Gleefully yet joylessly pointing out all of the “red-flags” in vidya and then being promptly ignored and forever outraged since at the end of the day, we are all dirtbags and like our video games a little bit rotten.

Etika's suicide hit a raw nerve for me, I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and he didn't deserve what was slung his way, at all.  I considered using the RedMerc account to name and call out the fuckers, but decided it would have fallen on completely deaf ears there even if the post wasn't wiped clean from the website.

Heidi Heilig, an author who has participated in many online skirmishes and provided a positive blurb for Jackson’s book, hastily revised her Goodreads review of A Place for Wolves. She suggested the book’s content may have changed since she read an early draft, apologized “to those I’ve hurt by my blurb,” and promised to “work harder.”

Quote from: Aske, post: 52183865, member: 3694
Something I find incredibly frustrating is that it seems people have to ignore the issue if they don't totally agree that CDPR is 100% transphobic. It's become very black and white: you either support Trans Era and view the game and the company as every bit as bad as JKR, or you keep your head down and your mouth shut and only talk about the game in the most shallow terms, because bringing up its issues and trying to unpack them from a less certain position will get you banned for "dismissing concerns about transphobia".

[USER=60521]Arithmetician[/USER] is a perfect example. They didn't seem to be dismissing any concerns, they seemed to be trying to understand those concerns, and even when they proved they weren't entering the discussion in bad faith, they merely had their ban reduced. The message is "keep it light and shut your mouth, or denounce the game".

Trans Era is not responsible for educating people, but I personally feel there needs to be room for discussion, so that people who aren't totally convinced by the OP of this thread can unpack and break down these issues together without fear of getting banned. That's how people's minds get changed, as we've seen in this thread already. This thread might not be the best place for it, since it's about supporting folks who are hurt by the game, and the OT probably isn't a good place for it either, because those who just want to keep it light will drown out discourse about this topic. But I don't think the current policy is the best way to deal with this situation, or advocate for trans people, or understand how different people relate to the game and CDPR.

I wholeheartedly believe that there are people who appear to be ignoring the concerns of Trans Era and are excited to play the game, who still believe trans men are men and trans women are women, but who can't express their feelings about the problematic aspects of the game and dissect each other's interpretations because they know they'll get banned if they say, for example, that they don't think gender-bending, sexually provocative, sleazy, objectifying imagery is the same thing as denial of personhood or hate, and that they aren't ready to denounce CDPR as transphobic yet.

It would be awesome if a mod could weigh in on this and explain the way in which these debates could occur, or if they're not welcome on Era at all, as appears to be the case.

Bets on ban length?

The reason why John stopped posting here is different though, and without bringing back that discussion - of his own doing.

People completely ignoring everything aren't "keeping their heads down", they just don't want to acknowledge it. There's been enough talk about CDPR's transphobia, anyone ignoring it is intentionally dodging it. There has been just about ZERO change in discussion from before and after the day ban in most threads, not even a single "thank you" or "wait what's going on?". I thought there would be at least some people getting pissy about it or a small uproar about "mods are being forum nazis", but there's been just about nothing.

For the sake of discussion for this thread assume the election fraud has been proven real and most of the perpetrators have been arrested, tried and hung or now in Gitmo.

Once Trump has proven the election fraud happened and is proclaimed President for a second term, what steps should he take to help heal a divided nation?

What is Trumps next steps as riots wrack Democrat cities?

Good god.  That's all they have and he just nullified it.  "They are literally killing me/want me dead," and "they are denying my rights as a human," are the two most common phrases in CDPR threads. 

Well aside from, "holy shit that game looks awesome."

I hate keeping this to myself, but I'm really tired of all this "you" and "me" and "I" and why don't "you"


You know what I mean?

Agreed with Sana Saeed on liberal enlightenment.

Of course you do.

Liberal secularism is - of course - the absolute worst method of permitting religious tolerance within a governed society, and separating the temporal executive and legislative from the spiritual.

Just look at all those communist regimes that were so accommodating of religion.
Or all those theocracies that allowed all those alternative faiths.
Go be a practicing christian, jew, buddhist or hindu under sharia law and enjoy your religious tolerance.

The only part of this that I’m actually angry about is that someone who uses a PS4 was too fucking dumb to understand the PS5 is also a PS4 but better.

“I didn’t like the PS5.” What does that even mean?

It's clumsy as fuck, but they're not saying "they are a hate group", they're saying that emotions are not things that should be policed?

For people in the know: is this sort of thing even allowed? Is it one of those grey areas where it happens but people don't really talk about it?

It's probably allowed? But it's certainly disrespectful. I mean, sure they gave it to him as part of a marketing stunt, but he should at least learn to appreciate the privileges he has.

Gifting a PS5 to a playstation gamer would he far better.

Good for him? I'm more bothered by Sony giving away an item people can't buy for love or money to a -ing reality star.

Quote from: Mr. Snuffleupagus
What a prick.

Quote from: plastic love
Are Sony within their right to say "we'd like it back"?

Quote from: CarthOhNoes
I mean I am not saying that he should be lynched or anything. I totally see where people are coming from with the whole "it was his so he is free to do what he likes". My real issue with this is that he's a wealthy man bragging about making money on something which a lot of people really want and can't get, and which he got for free because of his status.

It was the bragging about it that got me, more than the actual act. So what if he sold it, but just do it quietly. The whole "look how cool I am for making this profit which I might just chuck into the Thames from the window of my ferrari" thing is what's irritating about this.

I'd also like to add that I was one of the lucky ones who managed to get a PS5, and am hugely greatful, so this isn't some jealousy thing. I just think boasting about flogging it when plenty of people are desperate for one but can't get one due to stock issues, when you got given it for free and are already obscenely wealthy thanks to daddy's money, is a shitty thing to do.

Quote from: CarthOhNoes
He’s still bragging about it. Someone said it was a shorty thing to boast about on Instagram and he just said “it’s called making a buck”. Which I’m sure he needs...

So, basically, rich asshole is a rich asshole. God Instagram “personalities” are annoying. Not a shred of talent in his body and can do whatever he likes.
The thing is, if he wants to sell it on, fine. But why brag about it? Bragging about it is a bad look no matter what the background of how he got it. Continuing to brag about it, as if he needs the money when he’s driving about in daddy’s Ferrari in Chelsea, just makes him look like more and more of a prick. These people seem to have no idea about PR.

Honestly, a rebellious part of me would love to spoil this game for as many people as possible. Spoilers don't seem to have a deleterious effect on sales though, so there wouldn't be much point to it outside of my own sick satisfaction.

I'm probably just being silly.

For a second, I had similar thoughts too, but it's probably not a productive idea, unfortunately.

Aye, would probably just cause a bunch of antagonism with no benefit.
