I guess if his firing is more a corporate posturing and not any attempt at improving society itself there's some similarity.

NO SHIT POKEFAN!

Activision really dropped the ball by not improving society's ills.  They said it would happen Q2 of this year.  Tsk Tsk

Like... It's weird how many people don't believe people can change, lol.

In 2007 I was an awful, cynical centrists, often defending stuff like racist memes etc. 14 years ago, I was dumb fuck in high school. Now I can't even understand centrism and I'm a leftist, always trying to react when my friends try to joke about sexism or racism or downplay it.

And saying "Oh, he was 27 so it's a joke cause you can only change if you're 18 or 20!" is stupid.

Quote from: Saito_Hikari
The guy actually does seem pretty genuine. And knowing this context, I think the real takeaway for me here is that the situation is completely fucked if this is the case.

One could look at this from a cynicism angle and think that him seemingly changing is a big reason why he got fired so easily. The perfect scapegoat for shitheels to hide behind and point 'look, cancel culture will come for you even a decade later!'

You know that you could recognize that cancel culture exists without going full right wing?

Try reading the dudes story and what he’s been advocating for and fighting for in the 14 YEARS since those comments were made. Try not being a close minded person, and start realizing that people can grow and develop at any age and right their wrongs.

. I wouldn't say this is about forgiveness. I mean you can't ever expect to be forgiven when the victims of your behavior are in the millions.

This is about self growth and improving your behavior based on what you learn. That's what's being valued here, not whether he's forgiven or not for his past behavior.

Okay, racism is terrible and Edgelord posts in DA are always cringe... but victim are in millions are some dumb stupid shit and no wonder you guys are afraid of fictional titties if you think DevianArt posts made societal change.

Cancelling people who have clearly changed is so dumb. What is even the expectation now, what can he do to show he's changed? It's like they're mad they didn't catch him back in 2007 when he was a nobody. Who does this any good? The idiots kicked out an ally.

That's very disappointing, at the very lest there should have a warning and discussion should be limited to OT's. It happened with freaking Cyberpunk, so why not Diablo II?

We also can't pretend that Acti situation is normal, even for the game industry it's too much.

Well you see one thing was a manifesto of transgressions put together by a random forum poster while the other is years upon years of documented actual abuse against actual victims. One of those things obviously has more weight than the other, come on now.

“I fully own the awful, bigoted statements I made in 2007 and am disgusted with my younger self for making them,” Klein said via email. “But there’s also no doubt in my mind that they came to light because someone went looking for things to hurt me with. EA was aware of this allegation, and I specifically asked them to be on the lookout for these strategies being used against other employees in the future.”

Moral of the story: never post online
This is the long and short of it. Social media causes stress and depression. You open a Twitter account, you’re basically asking for a bunch of dickheads to pounce on you regardless of what you say and how you say it. Hard to feel bad for anyone taking shit over platforms that only exist for people to fling shit at each other.

Close your social media accounts, buy an Opinel knife (I’d suggest the Classic #8 with beech handle), pick up some wood and get whittling / carving. You’ll be astonished how quickly the internet buzzwords and misplaced angst fall away. It’s almost as if it’s all irrelevant bullshit peddled by self-important nobodies.

At this point I feel like I really need to nuke my account here. There's no forgiveness or nuance with these people. I said some pretty dumb things in my 20s and I think I've grown and learned. But these people seem to think you can't change and should be judged on things said during the days you visited ebaumsworld.

It's also idiotic and self serving to think buying used is some stance. You're engaging with the material which should matter to you, but also engagement is a metric they use to measure the success.

They basically force you to change even though you did absolutely nothing wrong.
Just look at some pretty normal GAF posters who used to post about titties, call of duty and sports that have now become ultra woke out of fear of not being accepted anymore.
Just posting titties, call of duty and sports gets you -100 woke points on your credit score.

These people are stone cold crazy. The sane ones are the people not joining these witch hunts and fighting this 'cultural revolution' madness.
Do not apologize, do not resign but hold the line and stay the course.

Well you see one thing was a manifesto of transgressions put together by a random forum poster while the other is years upon years of documented actual abuse against actual victims. One of those things obviously has more weight than the other, come on now.

Calling Kyuji a random. Oof. Yikes. That's not a good look.

One nice thing about that thread is the building self-realization that Era isn't the center of the gaming universe.  For all their online performance self-immolation displays they've realized that nobody outside their walls gives a shit.  (cept us,  ;))

Man that apex thread really brings out those people you can tell have never left their house and can’t imagine people can change.

You’ve either said something shady in the past, or your just cripplingly socially awkward and have at least an 80% chance of having posted something shady in your past.

Do they not remember the internet in 2007? That was even before Timedog and Devolution shitting up gaf, and Anita telling us we are all sexist for enjoying Super Mario Bros on nes.

They pretend not to remember anything they did before they got woke.

And then they pretend you are the crazy one.

its not that they dont believe people can change, or arent aware of the shitty things theyve done - era are the equivalent of a school bullies hangers on.
Theyll gleefully cheerlead shit because it keeps attention off them

Eh anytime it swings their way we get a “User Requested Deleted Account #283617” profile lol.


I wouldn’t even trust someone that said they “never changed” as they grew older, imo they’re either lying, or under 20 and have only lived life through a carefully crafted online persona.

People have either memory holed how cruel the internet was in the 2000s, are gaslighting you into thinking it was a lot nicer than it actually was, or they weren't around for it.  Like, they're straight up posting on a site run by a guy that said awful shit as recently as the mid 2010s.  I don't buy for one second these people actually care about multi-year old transgressions, much less one from over a decade ago.

didn't look that hard but couldn't find a single comment calling out these games' history of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and equal mockery of republicans AND democrats  :o

the funny thing is hollywood is actually pretty conservative and mostly just use liberal coding to push conservative narratives.
  • toxic american individualism - rooted in cowboy mythology, spurred on IRL by assault rifle wielding psychos. basically every action movie reinforces these ideals.
  • american exceptionalism, xenophobia, white supremacy, colonialism - superhero films are all very white centric and american centric and literally paint that demographic as supreme beings, while painting other countries as "needs saving". this is what alan moore was writing about in the watchmen.
  • military industrial complex propaganda - the war movie genre goes back almost as far as the western, and the government pays hollywood to portray the military in a certain light. this extends to most blockbusters regardless of genre (transformers, superheros, etc.)
  • racism - oscar bait movies about white redemption during slavery/segregation is it's own genre at this point.
you get spy movies like jason bourne that somehow combines basically all of these. and just look at the stillwater trailer, its pure republican pandering.

this is without mentioning major hollywood players that are basically staunch republicans. who are not outspoken like those listed in this thread, but celebrated icons. such as clint eastwood, matthew mcconaughey, and chris pratt.

these outspoken alt right figures are just there to be scapegoats and create a smokscreen.

Comedians were still saying shemale and cheeseburger up till 2008.  Ones you would call woke.  Hell, sitcoms and simpsons were saying it. 



That ep had Stephen Hawking.  I always knew there was a reason I never became a theoretical physicist.  We see you, wheelchair boy.

It wasn't till Obama got elected that people started thinking, "maybe we should start listening to that PC crap from the early 90's." It was a good idea until the millenials came around and turned it into a blood sport.

Now you can't even be a friend of a friend of a friend who, "literally wants to kill me."  Yeah, I'll read the national review if a headline catches my eye but not in public of course.
