Not good enough, another PR move to try and save the preorder numbers. Until they cut ties completely with JoKer Rowling they aren't serious about saving Trans Lives. Not to mention that they didn't fire this Leavitt immediately after finding out about his YouTube or Twitter comments. Even worse, allowing him to release a YouTube video proves they don't actually care about the Marginalized. If WB doesn't sue Leavitt and Rowling immediately into silence and for the rights to Harry Potter then I won't believe they actually care about People Like Me.

Don't give in to terrorists.

To be fair, the guy might have had to work under a hostile work environment once news got out about his videos. Pretty clear the rest of the team working on the game leans much more towards ERA's line of thinking. At this point, he became a huge distraction for the team, and him staying on would be selfish of him if he truly still maintain a position attitude towards the team and WB as he says. It is a pretty big ask of someone to work under hostile conditions.

Then again all of what he wrote could be face-saving BS and WB gave him an ultimatum: resign and save face or get canned.

Yeah, well, the rest of the dev team are known transphobes due to working on a game inspired by the work of someone who actively executes trans people in their sleep: JK Rowling. They should probably just wear their swastikas on their foreheads because we all know they're Nazi fucks.

I doubt 200+ people based in Salt Lake City who have worked on Disney products for the last decade want their Harry Potter game cancelled and their studio shut down.

Resetera finally gets a W.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Troylus_true/status/1367646558209052674

Fact check, only half of a win...

This feels like a half-win. It seems like they let him resign. Which means that WB never really disavowed his views. It also means that he gets to come out looking like some kind of hero (to a certain group of people), as he can spin it as falling on his sword to protect his coworkers. I would have MUCH preferred if he had been unambiguously fired.

Ideally, this would be due to WB firing him. But since it really is most likely that he left on his own, I REALLY hope it was entirely due to him being pissy about the news that the devs added Trans-inclusive options. I'm still not getting the game as long as Rowling is still connected in some way, but that would be very satisfying to hear.

Yep mate, he definitely quit because you can play as a girl with a deep voice.

I feel like all this Harry Potter stuff isn't addressing the actual issue.

That being Avalanche has never made a good or great game, ever. Everything they do is a clone of their one franchise Just Cause. I'd half expect there being statues you have to destroy to raise Wizard chaos.

Quote from: nonbinary, asexual

I really don’t understand why Nintendo fans find XBC2 designs to be in any way acceptable.
I feel like so much of that thread (if that's what you're referring to with this) once again just devolved into "well just play the game and you'll see the characters and story are great," which I feel like not only misses the whole point (you shouldn't HAVE to be made to "look past" that stuff to experience a great game), but also makes me feel awful and ashamed (because I just CAN'T just look past it to enjoy the game, which then I feel like is my own fault). :(
Quote from: male
It's straightup gaslighting.
Quote
Absolutely not a fault of yours. The game is telling people like us we aren’t welcome.
Quote from: male
Fanboyism + "well it doesn't affect me personally"-ism + objectification of women being accepted broadly in society
Quote from: non-binary
Which, for some people, is a selling point. They want games (and consoles) that will cater to (validate) their "tribe". Simple as that. XB2 could have the exact same story, but with a completely different artstyle, and they'd ignore it, because it's not "for them". Equally, give the Last of Us a Code Vein makeover, and they'd be happy to embrace it.
Quote from: trans woman
That game is loaded with "Here's one for the boys" moments that its' no surprise it wouldn't appeal to some women. It's pervasive throughout the game.

I played the whole thing and it never got any less stupid in any sort of content, no matter the quality of the rest of the game.
Quote
Not your fault and I'm sorry to hear you're being made to feel that way.
Quote from: male
From someone who enjoyed XB2: don't feel ashamed, it's the game's fault and it's also not that great.
Quote from: male, editor at nintendo wire
"Well just play the game and you'll see the characters and story are great" feels like something that outright admits the designs are bad and it's a problem, so I dunno why those folks are argumentative about it. If Pyra/Mythra/etc. are great characters beneath their character designs, then those fans should be even more annoyed they look so stupid (Pyra especially) than those on the outside looking in.

Like, I really enjoy the Cold Steel games (yet to play IV), but I'll be the first to admit some of those designs are outright embarassing and some pervy moments in those games actively work against it. One of my favorite characters (Fie) is repeatedly let down by having her wear extremely stupid and distracting clothes after the first game. Pretending those issues don't exist is just silly and can effectively render the other positives moot..
Quote from: male
Yep, I was pretty much told off that I didn’t play the whole game so I just didn’t know how good the game was. I tried to point out that Pyra’s personality doesn’t really “match” the outfit she’s wearing but said poster, a woman actually, said I just didn’t know about the character development that makes her more confident by the end of the game.

Me:


Also, I swear I think I saw someone rationalize it as “You see the Blades look the way they do because they’re not actually human but, see, the villain sees them as objects meant to be used and abused on a whim but Rex, the HERO, sees them as equal people because he’s just so pure.”

Like, it wants to be a game for the male gaze that’s playing it but ALSO tries to rationalize it in-universe (aka ”she breathes through her skin”)

I might’ve shared this story in the first OT or something, but I’ll post it again:

Growing up, my sister, who never really got into games would LOVE watching me play games like FFVI and other RPGs. She could enjoy the story and characters and not have to fumble with controllers trying to play it herself. She lives with me now and that’s still a thing. When I was playing XC2, we were definitely eye rolling and mocking Pyra’s outfit, but then I got to the infamous “Blushy Crushy” and my sister watching the two different options was just getting increasingly annoyed there wasn’t a way to say “No” until you’re forced to go through the whole thing until she finally said FUCK OFF and stormed out of the room.

Oh but, I’m not suppose to take that scene seriously. Ughh. It’s infuriating. I see other people, women included, who can look past it and can really enjoy it, and I just can’t see how.

It’s like all that AND Elma and XCX getting skipped that makes them the worst additions to Smash for me.
Quote from: male
"If you can just see past their designs and get to understand their charac-"

Nah, I don't feel like having to tolerate misogyny to try to understand.
Quote from: male
Seriously. Why should the conclusion be that the audience has to tolerate terrible design? Why shouldn't the conclusion instead be that the creators should make better designs? They don't even have to be amazing designs! Avoiding cringe-worthiness is all I ask.
Quote from: male
Exactly, yet it feels like with how some people, they want to have their cake and eat it. If XB should become a bigger Nintendo series and you want it to be, those designs are gonna have to go. That echi shit like blushy crushy or that bath scene or that sleepwalking thing have to go. That shit is gone if you want to push the series into the big leagues and be one for everyone like other Nintendo series.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words and support. It really takes the edge off coming out of those kinds of threads to come back here and be reminded that you're not alone. Probably also I just need to be better at avoiding them or at least only popping in in small doses lol. But at the same time, always avoiding them won't do anything to help change anything... bah.

Guess the thread:

She was a woman who was a decorated officer and yet got shot in her own home without a warrant or suspected crime anyways. She is the poster woman for the failure of the police system, that's like asking someone to not talk about Jesus when the topic is "religious martyrs". And her life is a portent for every person in America, black or not; how you can serve the system and get NOTHING for it, how the idea of being a good citizen and working hard is a myth made solely for keeping the unprivileged acting "civil" as meanwhile the privileged discard it upon any racist, classist, or stress-relieving whim that their mood fancies.

Sometimes Era feels like a sincere but struggling attempt to teach cis-het white dudes why racism/sexism/bigotry isn't okay.

And boy will they find any and all justifications to not learn.
"He isn't actually defending her"
"His comedy is SuPpOsED to offend"
"You'll change your perspective if you actually see the video"
.
.
"It's okay to sexualize <character> cause even though she looks 12 she's actually a 7000 year old dragon"

I'm not angry. Just sad and resigned.

:dunno

Really seems more like a small portion of actual crazies trying to socially engineer others into buying into their fucked up world view through a combination of stifling dissent, gas lighting, and double talk

That podcast clip has him mentioning that any comic who tells a trans-related joke will get piled on and canceled, but the bankers who fucked up the economy and oil execs who do all kinds of shit go scott-free- like an oil exec will dump tons of oil and nobody cares, but if they say "nice legs" to a woman at a food court, then it's time to go cancel them.

The host: "There's no room for mistakes.  There's no room for growth anymore, because you're immediately just fucked."

This is what killed me when Bruce became Caitlyn. That was like a national news story like at a ridiculous level. There’s like baby seals washing up on the beach because there’s no fish left, and they’re talking to this, this — lady. You know? Like, “So, Bruce, you gonna go, can your Olympic back handle a D-cup or you gonna go with like something a little more perky?”

Podcast Host: "You don't fear that though, right?  You don't fear being canceled in any way, do you?"

Bill Burr: "OF COURSE I DO!"

Host: "You do?"

Burr: "Well I mean, if anyone can say anything and they don't have- there's no trial.  I mean, who's really safe?" 

Host: "But how has that affected your life and how has that affected the way you go about your comedy?"

Burr: "It actually made me go a little harder.  It's just like 'all right, if you're gonna get in trouble for this shit, I'm gonna go down swinging!'"

The whole cancel culture debate might be the one and only subject where the right actually has a view with more basis in reality than the left. The right absolutely engages in cancel culture, and to the same extent as the left (well, they try to anyway), but at least they seem to *acknowledge that it actually exists* - in fact, they often seem to frame it in terms of "you do this shit to us too, back atcha."

Meanwhile this:

is the prevailing view on the other side, even amongst people that are otherwise downright sensible!

that's what I don't get, anyone who either had christian conservative parents or knew that one weird kid whose parents were that way should be entirely familiar with what is meant by cancel culture, and recognize why it's a bad thing

they say things like "remember conservatives in the 90s boycotted harry potter, and magic the gathering, and dungeons and dragons, and disney for their gay day at the parks, and ellen when she came out"

and it's like yeah they were in hysterics, they were trying to censor everything, and everyone rightly called them insane

are you saying they had a good point? why would you want to engage in the same behavior

Because it shows power and dominance. Is not exactly that difficult to discern.

Damn, they've really moved on to "fuck this guy, he only left to become an alt-right grifter" despite him resigning from his job during a pandemic. Who'd trade a steady employment against youtube  :doge

So they have moved on from "the character is drawn by a male artist so it's disgusting" to "it's drawn by woman with complete creative freedom but this doesn't matter"

to be clear I'm not using that to imply it's an ok design because a woman made it as it's still possible for a woman to be sexist and all (the entire fucking Rance series is entirely made by women), I'm just wondering over the sheer oddity of the situation
The devs told her "design whatever you want as a character" and she deliberately came up with that and they just okeyed it

I actually didn't know this. Woke-era teaching me something neat today.

The Male Allies at Resetera have a deep knowledge of the Rance series.

Bill Burr will be pleased.

I believe the young ones would call this 'Peak Era'.

Kyuuji, when you read this, I want you to know that aimlessly lashing out at everyone else doesn't work when you are in fact the problem. Be better.
I never got the memo that ruining women sports leagues is apparently a good thing.
It has nothing to do with transphobia it is simply a fact.

Maybe we can solve it with mixed team sports or a trans league or whatever.
But no even suggesting such things makes you a Nazi.  :doge

No, see, it has to be some kind of galaxy brain grift, because if it wasn't and you hounded a guy out of his career and trashed his reputation over a fucking nothing burger and you're still wanting blood, that would make you some kind of unrelenting zealous psychopath, and that obviously doesn't describe all the great people just bringing justice on era

Sometimes Era feels like a sincere but struggling attempt to teach cis-het white dudes why racism/sexism/bigotry isn't okay.

And boy will they find any and all justifications to not learn.
"He isn't actually defending her"
"His comedy is SuPpOsED to offend"
"You'll change your perspective if you actually see the video"
.
.
"It's okay to sexualize <character> cause even though she looks 12 she's actually a 7000 year old dragon"

I'm not angry. Just sad and resigned.

 :dunno

Really seems more like a small portion of actual crazies trying to socially engineer others into buying into their fucked up world view through a combination of stifling dissent, gas lighting, and double talk
When we talk about peak Era, this is the quote that will always come to mind for me. Of course Reeeeeseterans don't need to watch the video to know that the person said stuff that makes them a "piece of shit™" They have Twitter hottakes from blue check mark fuckwits for that!

Some of the games elements are...questionable.

And by questionable I mean blatantly racist and homophobic. The character Reggie is straight up just weird blackface shit and the Magypsies well, just their name alone is offensive but also they are one of the worst homophobic and transphobic stereotypes I've ever seen in a videogame.

I'm only delving into this game now but yikes, what on earth is nintendo supposed to do with this stuff? Alter it? change the sprites? Pretty sure the magypsies would have to be completely removed or heavily altered and Nintendo probably just doesn't want to to deal with it.

I had no idea this sort of stuff was in the game, doesn't this seem like a deal breaker to yall?

Nintendo probably saw the disappointing preorder numbers

what the fuck I thought the magypsies were trans/alternate lifestyle positive representations :neogaf

I swear 5 years ago it was mean old Nintendo afraid of how christian mothers would react to these obvious non binary folx in a children's game I swear
