I... called the state Attorney General's office yesterday.

I voiced my concerns about how I as an independent feel that our 29 electoral votes are being devalued due to 4 states not following the rules and that for the sake of the state, our nation, and our constitution, we should support and join Texas in the lawsuit.

Now I see this news today.

I... I actually made a direct difference in my country. Not indirect like voting with our current system, but direct. I don’t believe it.

If you wanna make a difference too, and your state isn’t on the list, call call and call! I waited just 15 minutes on hold, I would have waited hours for my country.

Seems like merging all cyberpunk threads into the OT is gonna make the thread fucking fly. Thing is huge already

[Uncle]

So, I have been reading and reading. Damn, near a week now.

Cyberpunk 2077 is problematic and is nigh on banned from approved discussion and this situation (the polite term) has been begging the question: Has there been any discourse on how future releases are to be treated moving forward? Surely, if this CD Projekt Red game deserves this amount of scrutiny, most of the upcoming major releases should be treated the same, right? Logic would dictate. Is this enthusiast games forum open to banning discussion of, say, GTA VI? You know that game is going to be a powder keg for this community. Why hasn't discussion of Ubisoft products been banned as well for so, so, so many reasons? Fallout '76 also seemed to be problematic. Shouldn't that have been a prohibited title along with other Bethesda releases? Or on that note should not all Microsoft-published games be banned from discourse what with the ZeniMax acquisition? Guilt by association is convenient; the guillotine silences all.

One interpretation for Cyberpunk 2077 necessitating thousand-word mod posts (and lord knows how much effort and back-and-forth from the poor moderation staff) would be that trans' rights seem to trump misogyny and good, old-fashioned racism on this website, though that is not my take, I see the argument and I see the debate team hats coming out. Isn’t Ubisoft an equally hateful company when compared to CD Projekt Red? More so? Harry Potter games are just a given for the ban-pile, I assume, probably releasing with a promised "text-only," mod-written thread, if at all. God forbid we get a Kingdom Come sequel.

If these numerous releases are even approved for discussion, what about the users who play them and comment? Did they happen to get a copy from Amazon.com? This is a company that openly exploits its workers to the point of suicide. This is a company that uses forced-labor camps in Uighur China. Literal slave labor. Surely users who use Amazon, WalMart, Cost Co., Best Buy, LG, Toshiba, Verizon, Apple, TCL, Sony, Microsoft, Ford, Corsair, MSI, Valve, Intuit, FIS, Google, Razer, Qualcomm, Alphabet, Facebook, Instagram, Intel, AT&T, Cisco, Comcast, Toyota, GE, WhatsApp, Adobe, Netflix, nVidia, AMD, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Insignia, General Motors, Philips, Oculus, Hewlett-Packard, or IMB products deserve a permanent ban because using these problematic company's products condones these problematic company's practices? These transgressions should surely be more prominent on this forum than say, a Mix It Up ad, the treatment of prisoner stereotypes, or sexual character designs, right? These are companies who actually make money from slave labor, yet this forum is writing 7,000-word posts about the lack of inclusiveness in a microcosm of a pass-time that requires users to throw money at the companies listed above (though, to be fair, I may have left one or two off that list but surely you get the point). This seems like a double-standard and this seems like hypocrisy and this seems like bullshit.

I guess my question is this: is equality important to the folks who frequent this website? I appreciate the political ramifications of this site's treatment of the year's biggest game release, but it needs to do the same for all titles moving forward or this becomes a hollow, one-note hill to die on, and, congratulations, people here picked a hill to die on, but it was the wrong damn hill.

And I guess my point is this: why does the opinion of a minority group get carte-blanche to dictate policy on this site, when there are issues in play that affect every single person here, not just a percentage? Where are the torches and pitchforks for the death toll a release like the PlayStation 5 induced? If you want to take a stance, good; take that stance, believe in something; fight the power. Good for you. Remember though, there are often much larger issues at play, and your time could be better spent on a street corner protesting the things you believe in rather than cross-checking which ResetERA users cross-post on NeoGAF. Set the bar a bit higher for yourself.

I mean not to belittle the politics of this community but more-so the manner in which it chooses to push them.

So. What do we do about upcoming games? Is there a discussion about this? And more importantly for the average ResetERA user: is there a transparent discussion – perhaps a sticky? - between moderation staff and the general users about what this website is rapidly devolving into that does not involve "trials by Discord," doxxing, or behind the scenes chicanery?



I'd like to know. Maybe a few others would, too.

Much love to every single one of you.

And then someone needs to reply to Kyuuji, asking how exactly they are helping fix anything as they play the very game they have been screeching about.

You get a long, well thought out post like the person had and they get fucking banned for it and some passive aggressive and lazy ass response from Kyuuji. Once again proving they don't want to have any kind of discussions. You either agree or get shot in the head and tossed in the pit with the other victims.

other replies to rex_dx

That's a whole lot of words to say not a god damn thing that makes sense.

Impressive to keep weaving back and forth between dogwhistles and gaslighting.

It's incredible how bigots call us snowflakes but are always annoyed and obsessed with us. You'd think they would be playing the game they defend so much for free.

Altrighters are the biggest projecting hypocrites out there.

these people are completely delusional

not a single word he said was illogical or incorrect in any way, everything he brought up ought to be taken into serious consideration by those deciding the tone and validity of any given discussion thread

none of it required any particular political affiliation or reflected trolling

and some other posts then agree with him:

I can't speak for others here, but personally I'd love it if this site did a similar treatment for Ubisoft game threads. Limit to one OT, giant ass warnings at the top of every page, link to a well-written OP about the issues at hand. I'd sign that petition in blood right now.

Not quoting that user's post, but it'd actually be sick if every thread centered around a game/company/product/whatever had a disclaimer header about the evil shit they're doing tbh. I dunno why anyone would have a problem with that.

I'd be down for that too that's a great idea actually.

so I guess it wasn't a pile of gaslighting and whataboutisms if some of it was valid?

Gotta love it when bigots and just-asking-questions types are accidentally right.

it wasn't "accidentally right," it was completely right 




all this "ha-ha, he thought he could pull a fast one!" as if it's just so easy to dismiss and ignore those completely valid criticisms

it's the same way conservatives dismiss even the most surface level and obvious criticisms of trump

"they thought they could get us!  cry harder, lib!"

My friend (who is trans) just made an FB post. She made her cover the picture of her Cyberpunk character and the character was a woman with a penis. She expressed she felt she was witnessing something historic. I agree with her and I really want to play Cyberpunk.

My friend is also a left-wing communist and we are both lsughing at the losers at Reset.

I'm convinced 75% of them are bad faith actors stirring shit up. Conservatives have a hard on for sewing dissent and fucking with systems like fascist chuds. That's why polls reported Trump being down that much but he still garnered over 70 million votes: republicans deliberately lied in polls. Becsuse that's what they do: cause chaos for no reason except resentment.

If only, I definitely think that a lot of them at this point are just trolls, but most of those users are just people grandstanding because the community demands it. Old Gaf also was this way.

[Himu]

Here's what I think happened:

Mix it up ad is revealed and people rightfully criticize it as transphobia (even if I disagree).

Years later trolls join reset.

These trolls take the already established concerns about Cyberpunk being transphobic and drum up false outrage and demand that there be no OT.

legitimate members of trans era and allies support it because they want to show love for the the communi-tea.

This puts pressure on varying people to conform to this storyline.

Chaos ensues. Trumpers and modern conservatives love chaos. This negatively impacts Reset as they are given further joke status.

Conclusion: Reset era has been compromised and is being brigaded by trolls in bad faith. Given that neogaf is benefiting I wouldn't be surprised if some are from that site.

This fits the psychological profile of modern "conservatives."

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

They're treating this like a game and Reset is falling for it.

[Himu]

You can see this further on facebook.

I sometimes see NYT links from NYT page and if, say, it's a Biden article you'll always bet there will be a lot of laugh reacts. They try to make a mockery of institutions and things they disagree. Pubicly mocking it and making comment sections descend into chaos is just the next step.

Essentially, modern conservatives are playing a cold war.

If I were people in this thread I would doubt, eh, about half of these responses on reset as genuine. You are being groomed to mock a reaction that might be made to mock. We've established some are troll accounts like SoyPrincess.

This is how they can further delegitimize Reset. Not that Reset done itself any favors. But much like the NYT facebook page they turn into mockery.

Great example.

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152536289469999&id=5281959998&fs=0&focus_composer=0

There's nothing funny about this but there's 3k laugh reacts. Almost every comment has a laugh react. They can't win the game left spaces so they go to a more liberal space and turn it into a place of mockery. This is a harmless example but the goal is the same: delegitimization.

It's a proxy war.

[Boredfrom]

Or they are idiots posers with deep seated insecurities that can only see the world as black or white and are trained by social media to ignore anything that challenges their bubble. The reason why trolls attack them is because they are a easy prey to rail on.

Chud fucks I'm on to your game

From personal experience and based on my own research, that's not the case at all. The reason polls differ so much from reality is that conservatives, or people outside the mainstream in general, are increasingly likely to decline answering/ outright ignore polls completely, and pollsters haven't figured out how to handle this datapoint - or they deliberately ignore the issue because it helps getting the desired results, even if it makes the results worthless.

They've really argued themselves into nonsensical rage. It's perfectly fine to have problems with the representation in the game, to think that there are areas that can be improved, but they're on this crazy crusade as if this game is some kind of anti-trans manifesto which is just so crazy absurd. Even if you think it's flawed, it still does more than 99% of all other AAA games out there.
But they can't back down anymore, the only way for them is up, more and more outrageous claims and complaints about discussion guidelines and so on.

Who wasn't trans and was, in fact, playing a long game of causing absolute chaos on the site by pushing things to the utter extreme and seeing how far the other crazies go along with it.

Link.

This person is messing with my people and making us look like jokes. I would like them to be called out pubicly.

Was it Spooks McTrollyface or whoever that we've all already assumed was a joke account?

This morning I made the tough decision to purchase Cyberpunk 2077. I hope my trans friends will forgive me.

All because of a throwaway tweet that is almost as old as B-Dubs racist rants.

So I'm not going to lie...I'm dealing with a unsuspected level of FOMO today and it's been harder to refrain from buying this than I expected. But I really want to stick to my guns and not reward CDPR with my $60.

I saw a post in the OT of someone who declared he had succumbed to the hype and bought the game. I prescribe overdosing on CP2077 bug reports and base PS4 footage until the FOMO goes away to avoid becoming that person.

The hype is too strong

The sex cards in W1, the brutal sexualized violence against the witches in Witcher 2, the all-whiteness of Witcher 3, and now with Cyberpunk being all about appeasing horny cis-het boys, it's high time that they're viewed as a deeply conservative video game company.

Because when I think "conservative" I think high levels of sexuality.

I told you guys ResetEra was infiltrated by all sorts of trolls including the Russians for years who migrated from NeoGAF right after the implosion and 2016 election
I know, because they DM'ed me early on thinking I was part of their outfit because I was constantly shitting on former NeoGAF mods.

You really think they didn't notice that NeoGAF was Hillary Clinton fan central? 

Why do you think all their spelling and grammar is so bad and their avatars so poorly photoshopped?

When your convictions are so strong you can't give up a video game for your beliefs
