I wasn't sure about this until I looked up his StarCraft II review.

https://kotaku.com/starcraft-ii-heart-of-the-swarm-the-kotaku-review-5990162



He says the characters are great and the dialogue is endearing and kind of brilliant. No mention of Kerrigan's design.

So Blizzard, a company known for sex creeps, a company which insults women in the open at events if they dare question the designs, uses a "sexy woman wearing inexplicable high heels" design for Kerrigan... a design which doesn't fit the world of the game, and didn't even come from the StarCraft II team, but was pushed on them because Kerrigan had to be "attractive"... THAT company gets a glowing review.


But Vanillaware, an independent company literally founded by the artist so he could have the freedom to create what he wants without it being pushed on him... That company creates a game with a unique and fitting art style, and Schreier blows a gasket. Call the artist a 14 year old boy. Uses THAT article to talk about sexism in the industry:

"It's tough to find a woman in gaming who doesn't have a story about that one time someone said something way over the line, or the industry event that made her feel like she didn't belong."

Hmm, funny he can say that in a Dragon's Crown article, but didn't have enough "corroboration" to say anything about Blizzard.

As someone who considers themselves leftist, I only read this thread to marvel at how regressive the takes on resetera can be. They've got "progressives" saying they're against free speech, against sex-positivity, against due process, against empathy?!? This kind of dogmatism is compelling in a macabre way, but it's not like i'm laughing at them over it. It actually makes me really sad, all I can do is make it into a joke to make myself feel better.

Bunch of fucking cowards. Lets talk about the person that is misgendered and not tip toe the issue and pretend is just trans oppression.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Should be noted that this also includes other minorities.

Just because a fat, black, woman or other people was shitty, does not give you the right to talk to them using slurs related to their fatness/blackness/what makes them a minority.

People will look at you and think "ok this person hates fat/black/women" when they see you using that to atack the shitty person

do you like ben carson?

no - OK - would you call him the n word?

right, so don't misgender terrible trans people

but thats just how they police their own?

[cosmicblizzard]

You shouldn't be misgendering people even if they suck (though I feel the situation with Chris Chan is a bit more gray).  It's still rich to see "don't dehumanize anyone for any reason" coming from the same people that are consistently dehumanizing others for their views.

I want a new Adam Curtis doc on internet culture that uses ChrisChan to tie the whole story together. I can picture the narration now:

"Something unexpected happened in July 2021. A person that had been forgotten by all but the darkest corners of the internet was trending on twitter. Ten years ago, ChrisChan was targetted by the trolls for their Sonic x Pikachu fanfiction and chaotic personal life. But it turned out that ChrisChan had been hiding a dark secret. She was having sexual relations with her mother. And the trolls didn't quite know how to react".

Chris is like a IRL Mr/s Harrison that is kind of impossible to know at this point if they are truly transgender or gender fluid or just a pervert.

But not, I still don’t think misgendering people is the equivalent of the N-word. Still disrespectful and assholish.

Chris is a mentally ill man who thought being a trans lesbian would make it easier to get china.

Choice quote from Cuntyuji:

Have you pushed for that in the same way that the trans community here pushed for it around CDPR and Rowling?

Lock message by B-Chuds:

EDIT: I literally just woke up and I apologize for being short.



Literally every publisher and studio in the industry is guilty of misogyny and sexism. There isn't a single one that hasn't had someone come forward against them. Ubisoft, Riot, Insomniac, Microsoft, Naughty Dog, the list goes on and on and on. Big publishers and independent developers both. This is systemic across the entire industry. Banning just one publisher/studio and not all of the others sends a message that we only care about this when it gets particularly bad. It's wholly unacceptable regardless of who does it.

Banning just Acti/Blizz sends the message that it's just them that's the problem. They aren't the only ones. It's everyone. Every game we enjoy is tainted by this, there is no getting around that or minimizing it. This is why we pointed people towards charities to help women because this is a systemic problem. You cannot pretend it's just Acti/Blizz because it isn't. You don't get to write this off as just a single studio or publisher.

Rees not taking it well in the main Blizzard thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/california-sues-activision-blizzard-for-employment-discrimination-because-of-sex-retaliation-discrimination-harassment-unequal-pay.460551/page-53

It's a totally weaksauce response rooted in the "if we can't do it all, then we shouldn't do any of it" fallacy.

The argument that highlighting this current Activision Blizzard would send the wrong message is also BS. It's rooted in the idea that you are hypocritical if you are targeted in your focus. We should have conversations like this about every company, especially when the stories of abuse get blown out into the public. At minimum, a sticky of both a main Blizzard Activision thread and a "here's what you can do" thread would help.

The general vibe is: we aren't willing to do anything as a leadership team.

Agreed. It's a disappointing response, and it seems like that's as close to an official response as the forum's gonna get.

Yeah, when I started coming to this forum was at the end of last year, I was surprised about how the Cyberpunk stuff was handled, and thought that was normal, it results that not only was it made after a lot of users here spoke out, but it was pretty much the exception to the rule, users here shouldn't have to beg the leadership of Resetera to take some kind of stance or action against this kinds of practices.

They regularly called him fat, and regularly said he is Putin's cock holster, or sucking Putin's cock. One of my bans was for calling it out as homophobic.

Also, b chud saying EVERY publisher and developer, indie and AAA is guilty. What about the trans developer of Celeste?

What a hypocrite, chud, racial slur using piece of shit.

Celeste? never heard of it.

He said every game developer. you know: naughty Dog, actiblizzard, EA, insomniac, riot, Ubisoft. all the games people care about  such a shame that no one else makes games and those are the only ones that matter

GG mod team. You'll ban people for having an opinion that goes against your own, but you won't act on this? Fucking ban me then because it would do me the favor of not coming back here. Your lack of action taken is just as bad as the "both sides" BS we see so often that you claim to be opposed to. Everything you claim to stand for is a farce to keep the masses pleased up until now. For some reason this is the hill you want to die on. I can't even come up with any words as to why this is where the line is drawn, but here we are and you drew it. Good fucking bye.

The mod response is fine, I don't know what the hell you all want them to do. Discussion about these issues is not being silenced, we can talk about it and condemn Activision as much as we want, and always have a thread or multiple ones on the front page about it.
And they're right, stopping talk about every problematic studio would mean closing the forum. It'd just be counter productive posturism.

It's ok though. All of the companies are bad, so that makes it perfectly fine!

Who the fuck has said that.
Stop inventing things to be angry about, B-Dubs said the exact contrary of what you're saying here

Simp for Era mods all you want, but it's clear as day where they stand. Their stand is half assed and safe for them and the forum. Fuck that.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if people like you aren't trolls from off site doing their best to stir up shit and bring the site down

[benjipwns]

It’s defeatist and somewhat irresponsible to claim that every publisher and studio big and small has sexual assault and abuse of power issues, let alone on the scale of these recently revealed horrors, but if they honestly feel that way and that prohibiting PR for offenders once abuses come to light is pointless then it seems like continuing Gaming side at all is a bad idea.

You’re free to believe whatever you want. In fact, if you truly believe the whole industry is rotten than you also should be fine with no longer promoting it.

I actually doubt it. the only reason they went so hard on cdpr is because they were a filthy euro/polish studio that only made one triple a game. easy to boycott one game. if they were bigger it would have been swept under the rug.
