Look, its really very simple;

• when you're talking about how YTs have erased all black contributions to history, Europe was full of black people doing important jobs, they were kings and queens of egypt and carthage, and held one of the largets and longstanding empires in the Ottomans.
• when you're talking about how YTs built white supremacy by making black people eternal victims, black people didn't exist until Columbus invented slavery in 1492

just make sure you don't forget which argument you;re making, because It's A Bad Look having the Ottomans as one of the biggest colonisers in history, or the Egyptians being brutal slave owners

Taking ethnic pride in brutal moorish colonization of Southern Europe is always a fun pitstop, too.

"Wow, era really had someone willing to admit to a decade-ish age gap?"

traced back to the story

It's funny how so many posts all assume either of these people want to go out to the bar and being together is a bad idea because one can legally go to the bar and another cannot.

I met my now husband when I was 14 turning 15 and he was 18 turning 19. We started dating 7 days after I turned 15 and have now been together 23 years, married 15. He has been in exactly 2 bars his entire life, once when he was 18 right before we started dating and once with me for a concert a few year ago which was attached to a bar. Neither of us drink or care to go out and party.

People thought I was too young to be in a serious relationship and that he was too old for me. I'm glad neither of us cared what other people thought because if we did we would have missed out on a great marriage and life together.

Like I can understand being a little wary of senior-freshman hookups in high school, but it's classic Era to escalate that to RELATIONSHIP TAINTED BY GROOMING FOREVER. Never seen a group of people so eager to trivialize everything by treating minor and major transgressions the exact same.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

They have a very paternalistic view of women where they always need to be protected from themselves by the wise men of Era. It's weird and creepy how little Era thinks women can be trusted to think for themselves.

[benjipwns]

I don't know what I expected, but I had an hour so I skipped through maybe two or three dozen Project Eve reaction videos on Youtube. The only channel that complained about the character design was Digital Foundry. Female streamers and Youtubers in particular reacted universally positive, with statements like "she's cute", "love the character design", "she looks badass" or "I'd love to cosplay this". Bonus comment: "I wish I could walk in heels as well as the girl fights in shoes like that". One really has to wonder if Western character designers actually understand their audience.

The reactions of normal people who can handle mature content without childishly overthinking it.

This is gator propaganda.

The fact is that so-called "gaming" streamers/YouTubers are immediately suspect and can't be considered to be operating in good faith because if they were honest they would upset the chuds who make up their audience. A proper cross-section of women would only include those able to speak their truth about the harm caused them by the problematic nature of this game and Sony's unethical immoral decision to promote it.

User Banned (3 months): concern trolling around sexism, prior ban for dismissing concerns of colorism over a series of posts

It kinda seems like the implication of this is that the poster you're replying to shouldn't say bad things about the design because other women that aren't being addressed by the post like the designs? It's kind of a leap from this to accusations of dismissing the opinions of other women and a real bad look to call what was posted that.

That's not what I said at all? I said her points were valid but that not all women share her opinion which is an objective truth as I quoted a woman who liked her design. That wasn't to invalidate her opinion but to reinforce that not everybody shares said opinion.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything I said? How about you stop hiding behind what some women happen to like and actually address the points of criricism. I like 2B as a character but her design is still sexist objectification.

And stop tone policing, thanks.

The Importance of Being Respectful

"Please be respectful when posting in threads. This includes when you post about the topic at hand and especially when you address other members. Do not make unfounded and inflammatory accusations to discredit and/or antagonize your fellow members (such calling them a shill, astroturfer, etc). Do not shame users based on their post count, avatar choice, or what community they belong to. Avoid hurling insults or making disagreements personal."

So no, I am not "tone policing", I am just trying to have a civil conversation. Like I said earlier, your points are valid but they're not universally shared with every woman.

User Banned (1 month): Dismissing concerns of colourism over a series of posts

I literally said I was a black woman back on page one so again, maybe read people's posts.

And nah, you've been downplaying the issue multiple times in this thread. We wouldn't even be discussing this if it wasn't for you trying to excuse the issues within the game. I'm not the only one who has noticed it nor am I the only calling you out on it. Every time someone counters you, you move goal posts or ignore it. People called out that you bringing up the Mad Doctor doesn't address the colorism issue they were actually talking about and you ignore that. I called how Disney still currently has a history of racism and colorism after you brought them up and you ignore that. How is any of this supposed to be read other than you're just trying to shut down others' criticism when you're not actually engaging with what people are saying and just post excuses like other 'japanese media does it' as if that somehow excuses KH? Also lol at 'if' I think colorism is a larger issues. Jfc.

Edit: You know what, I'm done. Good luck to anyone who wants to continue this but I think I will make that thread about SE and colorism.

Why are you responding to me as if I have any creative decision-making power to change how Square Enix approaches people of colour in their video games? I'm not downplaying colourism, I'm just giving my opinions. If colourism is a genuine issue that you want to change then there are channels to express those concerns.

We dated through her high School, through her undergrad, through law School and then got married. We've been together for 40 years and have three kids. World's worst groomer.

Not really sure you can ban people for criticising a game (incorrectly) as being woke. Where do you draw the line? These are discussion points that are debunked but aren’t really bannable offences. You can’t control every little thing in forum discussions.

User Banned (1 Month) Dismissing concerns of racism, account in junior phase

Saying something is "woke" because it has black people is racist.

Sure, if your reference to it being woke is because it has minorities as characters then it’s couched in racism. I’m not sure Valve is going to moderate that though. People are free to downvote the game for that particular reason. I just don’t think Valve is going to — or is even interested in — moderate such criticism.

[ShutUp]

“Account in junior phase” always gets me. How dare they be a newer member!

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

For one thing, Valve didn’t publish those titles, they just stocked them, in the same way that Amazon stocks Ayn Rand and anti-vax material.

That is electron scope level of spliting of hairs. "They didn't make them, they just offer them to the public AND profit off of them".

So let's follow this train of thought; Era doesn't post calls for violent insurrection, they just offer them to the public AND profit off of them", right?
Because era moderators are always talking about how they can't see every post and rely on posts being reported, but that's obviously NO EXCUSE for being held completely liable for anything that does slip through, yes?

[Uncle]

“Account in junior phase” always gets me. How dare they be a newer member!

I'm still  at the idea the reason they keep pruning posters with a dissenting opinion from that thread is because GAMURZ are MISOGINNISTS and nobody would dare post otherwise if you made a thread on a film site about how wonder woman DRESSES LIKE A WHORE, LOOK AT THOSE FEMORAL ARTERIES and not because making that kind of post would have you BTFO as a loony and go scurrying back to the era whoreswhoreswhores thread talking about how shitty the entire rest of the internet is

mmmm

Like another poster said, is kind of fucked up how despite this still being a problem there is a thread in the front page whose only point is circlejerking about how great Insomniac is

Yeah couldn't help but roll my eyes.

Lots of devs work on multiple games at a time.

This doesn't warrant ignoring sexual harassment.

It does worry me that circlejerk and hype threads are still allowed for a lot of these studios who have had their skeletons in the closet exposed to the world, yet suddenly mod policy is to just let it slide because of the slippery slope fallicy.

I mean, official policy is that Cyberpunk conversation has to be limited to the one thread, to avoid distressing anyone from the communities that CDPR negatively impacted. A policy I agree with.

Yet Activision-Blizzard is guilty of not just crunch and transphobia, it's guilty of tax fraud via legal loop hole, victimisation of women and male staff priding themselves in the fact they commited it (What with things like the Bill Cosby Room.) And their apology involved using an infamous union buster of a lawfirm to "investivage" working conditions.

But when demands were being made that Activision games be treated in kind, suddenly we have to be concerned where it will all end. Despite no conversation about a game being impacted, just that it would all have to go in one thread to avoid potentially distressing celebratory conversation for a problematic team hogging up the forum.

And I bring this up because, as much as I love their output (I got a ps5 last month just for the new Ratchet and Clank.) Insomniac haven't really been put on any kind of blast for their bad behaviours.

Yeah, it's hard. I wish the admin team would at least have a conversation about this instead of just making that decision, while some of them don't participate in threads like this one while participating in hype threads. It's disheartening, to say the least.

I’m right there with you. Even trying to discuss the games (without actually buying them) felt wrong to me……at least unless I shine a very bright light on the current issues with the company. They really should be a discussion on limiting known problematic companies like ActiBlizz, Ubisoft, Insomniac, & more to a single thread (for each of them) like what happened with Cyberpunk. In those threads, they can clearly highlight the problems with each company & why they’ve been isolated to their respective threads. But that’s just my two cents on the matter.

Not happy with how the resetera team is handling this either. Pretty pathetic tbh

Yeah, the fact that it seems like the moderation team hasn't said or done anything makes it seem like they are just going to ignore it and sweep it under the rug.

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 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.

Out of interest what do you want the team here to do?

No idea, but I think an active thread warning on top of each thread (instead of on the bottom) and a stickied thread about abuses from IG and other companies would be the bare minimum. It's kinda crazy that only this thread is where I learned about this and not from actual media outlets. Whole issue feels ignored.

Bare minimum, they should put a staff notation in every Insomniac thread pointing out the shit going on at the company (ideally at the top).

What should be done is limit all Insomniac talk to either 1 compressive thread or 2-3 threads for each game similar to what was done for Cyberpunk. But the same could be said of ActiBlizz & Ubisoft, which sadly didn’t happen.

why is nobody contacting them or @ them?

is it because people are afraid of getting banned?

It should be called out but to utter the word “Insomniac” under the same breath as Activision Blizzard is an exaggeration. Unless more people come out and employees start having walk outs at the company it’s not even comparable. If Era mods didn’t do something about Activision games’ threads I don’t see how expecting that for Insomniac is realistic.

Unfortunately, the only reason we know as much as we do about the shit going on at Activision Blizzard is because of the lawsuit. Likewise, the bare minimum suggestion I made is something that’s already being applied to Activision Blizzard threads, that being putting a notation of what’s going on at Insomniac.

This point, I just want justice for the victims & for more people to be aware of what’s going on.

Did anyone create a moderation ticket yet? If not, I'm considering it to at least ask what they have considered doing and what are their plans regarding Insomniac.

You're supposed to spam all over the place, reveal PMs, expose other users Twitter accounts, talk about how you're literally being murdered, talk about how everyone is leaving in droves due to it, rage if anyone in the cohort gets banned for any reason, etc. not do this "by the book" shit.

God PLEASE give Insomniac/Spider-Man the Cyberpunk treatment. People there ultimately probably didnt care too much that it happened with Cyberpunk because it was a multi platform game but a Sony owned studio and their mega popular superhero games?

It would be absolute chaos

We've said that for every freakout now, but it won't happen again.
The Cyberpunk thing was special, because of the "transphobia" element, and the guy that wanted to do the OT "playing the mods".

Damn it man, let me believe

Don't listen to him Potato.  Us southern euros taught them cavebeasts how to bathe.

 

Them savages don't even eat olives and they use vegetable oil.

That story that the one ex-insomniac guy shared about him screaming at his colleagues that they shouldn't dare to put breasts on a female character honestly made me question how severe the situation at the studio actually is. The media also seems a bit hesitant to pick it up, but maybe Schreier just wants that "I knew for years" cred
