The company I work for removed all mention of Harry Potter from team building exercises and internal presentation packs because they're aware of the association it brings. That meant something to me, and the few other gender diverse people working here. I don't think asking people who are allies to avoid playing the Harry Potter game is a step too far, and I don't think perpetually tip-toeing around people's feelings when it comes to showing that is something a minority should constantly have to do. Acting like expressing some level of judgement for people continuing to fawn over the IP is some catastrophic cannon-shot to their soul is tiring. It's putting more weight on the feelings of people wanting to play a game guilt-free than those who have to see others fawn over an IP directly tied to the push for the removal of our rights and ability to safely live as ourselves, and it isn't by accident that that's how it often shakes out.

Anything else is genocide.

I'm not kidding, that's their argument of the transgender genocide. Accommodate me and don't say anything bad about me (whether about my gender or not) or I might feel bad and I might hurt myself. Then you'll be to blame.

The anti wokes are mad at Pink Floyd because of the rainbow colours on DSOTM

in unveiling a new logo to mark the iconic album's 50th anniversary celebrations, the prog rock legends seem to have unwittingly found themselves immersed in the latest 'culture wars' debate.

"Lose the rainbow, you’re making yourself look stupid!" writes one commenter... and it gets worse...

"Sad to see a band that was once great has gone full WOKE!!!." writes another fan. "I loved your music before, NOT LISTENING NOW!"

A third commentator states: "No librul [sic] agenda for me today. Thanks, Pink. Fan for 63 years and never listening again. I miss when the songs were about cats and gnomes! Bring back syd, hed never stand for this left wing nonsense."

Another confused fan asks, "What is the connection between pink Floyd master piece & LGBT WTF...."

"Yeah, cuz I always hear Pink Floyd fans saying “I wish Pink Floyd was more gay”." tuts another upset follower.

"From this moment I don’t listen to this band" an ex-fan writes.

 That is why I make games.

Okay, I won't post his info here, not even his public Twitter account with his name and face, because some cops will just delete it but it took me literally two minutes to find everything about this guy. He was a QA Tester on Final Fantasy XV and he's never worked at any position higher than that in the industry.

Given how laughably simple it is to find this info, I'd just like to correct you that it seems as though he was actually promoted to an associate producer, and the game he is currently working on - based on his retweets only being products he's worked / working on and the company name given in his new twitter account - seems to be uhhhhhhh Forspoken, sooooooo not exactly no conflict of interest sat there defending it or claiming to have no involvement

the sad thing is that
a) they're both ultimately fighting for the same thing, which is to just live your life judgement free without a label holding you back
and
b) this was all avoidable, if they'd just gone with a political axiom that didn't jump into someone elses hard fought business, like "Trans lives deserve respect" or whatever.

e: like, their beef with jkr was entirely instigated by always-online assholes in the first place, so now they have a huge influencer who would otherwise have been on their side as an enemy rather than an ally.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/criticizing-anime-and-not-being-orientalist.678376/

A lot of us watch anime and we do notice the flaws and critique various aspects but that said I sometimes feel some criticism gets very generalized and has an orientalist view that Japan is some place of moral depravity or something. Recently in a discord server someone was criticizing anime for fanservice and they questioned why and one person responded cuz "Japan Horny" and all and I felt this take was somewhat orientalists. For example when people criticize a scene of Family Guy they wouldn't say "Cuz America is horny" and all that. So on that I feel people need to avoid taking this aspect when doing critiques of the genre

Great post. It’s frankly insane how much hate I’ve seen from people regarding this game, while other games with much bigger issues just get free passes constantly (CP2077 Transphobia, Persona 5 Homophobia, Etc) but suddenly this game is the game that has everyone up at arms. It’s ridiculous when you consider this is supposed to be the “Calm & Collected” Forum and it’s just full of people waiting to dunk their hot takes in a thread that they have no skin in.

If the game releases and in the OT I’m still seeing this constant bullshit I’m straight up requesting a deactivation. I’m not going to stay in a forum where actually interesting games are shittalked constantly when the game hasn’t even launched for fucks sake.

why do I get the feeling the 13 year old nephew has a more realistic take on being a police officer than most of era 

Again, ACAB is not solely about how many folks are killed or bullets fired. It’s about a racist corrupt institution that protects white folks, in the US and EU, and capital.

Like, look at this edgelord nonsense. What, predominantly non-white countries don't have police forces?

According to CNN they are looking for 30-50 year old Asian male as suspect.

Self hate? Hell of a thing

Uh, does he not comprehend that not every mass shooting is racially motivated?

[Snoopycat_]

Every fucking time -

Being the area it took place, it isn't a stretch to believe this was racially motivated, and the anti-Asian sentiment in right-wingers has skyrocketed in the past year for reasons I don't understand.

ofc it's a racially motivated murder rampage, I'm so fucking tired of this shit....

65% in that area are Asian, and according to a tweet I read, it’s like 95% around that specific cross street. I’m not gonna make assumptions till we have more info as that’s backfired before but I mean… we can see where this might be heading.

In this case, the racism and lack of consequences for said racism. Plus the violent rhetoric largely pushed by repubs, an echo chamber media environment reinforcing the violent rhetoric, extremely easy access to killing multipliers in guns, and for good measure, THE RACISM

This was definitely racially motivated and I'm super bummed out there hasn't been much to identify the murderer. I really hope they get caught soon.

Having grown up in the greater SGV area, in my mind, this absolutely was racially motivated

They never learn do they?

Oh, you're right, he was promoted to Associate Producer from Senior Tester in September 2022 and I overlooked that. He hasn't worked at Square Enix since 2018 though, he's at some mobile game company I again will not name but is also hilariously easy for anyone to determine from his Twitter profile.

I hadn't looked at his entire profile closely but you know what's maybe the best part of all? He went to Westwood College:

He lists an award he got for "excellence" in Geometry as a Junior in High School 15 years ago on his LinkedIn.

I kinda fell bad for him but I really don’t know what was he thinking with the shilling and crying because “death threats”. Even if people agreed that the game may get disproportionate hate, feeding that shit is not going to help your game as Volition learn the hard way.

[benjipwns]

I wouldn't feel bad about him, there's nothing wrong with being QA or any of this, but there is something wrong with trying to manipulate people into not allowing criticism of a video game by fabricating things.

He didn't say something like "oh hey, I worked at Square Enix and know people working on this and what you're saying isn't cool" he jumped straight to blackmail. Which works on ResetERA.com because of the damn social media algorithms.

Sounded to me that there was a little of sincerity hidden in his hyperbole. Even absurd shit like printing Reddit positive reviews may be true given others outspoken devs or video game critics (cuffAnthonyBurchcuff).

I sincerely doubt he got death threats outside of hate PM, thought. Well, until this…

theres all these game with women player characters because companies want to be woke and get womens money but women dont care about them and its all just men playing it and either jerking off to it or yelling at people for being ''"MISOGYNIST""" if they dont like it

Joy Behar was right after all, this feels deliberate.

So it's revenge for his SNL skits making fun of Trump.

Honestly, Baldwin's lawyers are probably thanking god these guys are so dumb. They can probably get the case thrown out on this bullshit.

So the DA is all over the map, she approached activists with a proper restorative justice approach to keep them out of jail for toppling a monument that partially celebrated the killings of Indigenous people with a plaque that called them "Savage Indians"

But here she's going on Fox News Jude Jeanine and appointed a then running for State Legislative Office and now sitting elected Republican State Politician who went on Judge Jeanine with the DA and Hannity by herself

Feels like the DA is using Baldwin to show she's not completely soft on crime and get a higher profile

Payback for doing a silly impression of the dear leader. Sounds about Right.

Continuing the long American tradition of showing "impartiality" by only allowing Republicans to investigate democrats, and also only allowing Republicans to investigate Republicans.

Seems like a way to get the case/verdict thrown out? What a dumb way to get "revenge" on a man trumpers dislike because of skits, to make sure that you cannot do anything but fail in the end.

sounds like we'll see a dismissal here.

Holy shit these people are stupid.

excelsiorlef, if you were an actor and put in this situation, you wouldn't check for yourself? You'd just shrug your shoulders and trust that someone else did their job? Not me.

I just recently mentioned in the XGS OT how, on Steam, a game "The Day Before" is ranked #2 only behind the wizard game. Should I edit out the name or is mentioning it only in passing as part of figures/ranking acceptable? There's no discussion happening regarding the game itself. Thanks.

In passing, in terms of sales, should be ok. But no threads about how it's #1 or whatever.

That said, we reserve the right to change our minds on this at a later date.

And then turns into metacommentary fiesta:

Just saw the sticky post, thank you for making that call and doing the right thing. That makes me happy to be a part of this community <3

Just sliding in to say fuck yeah for the total ban on the TERF game.

good news about the policy on terf game

I can only assume the threadbans for these three are juuust around the corner.

In the JKR thread, B-Dubs heads off the flood of thanks with this post:

So leave it at this. Ok? We don't want any "let us have x negative thread" stuff. We aren't doing any threads at all. And that goes for discussing it in here as well.

It would be kind of interesting see how that thread sustains itself long-term if shitting on the HP game is actually acted against. I do half wonder if this aspect is being hammered to try to head off the inevitable name-and-shame of people who get 'caught' playing the game.

The reviews are upon us, it'll be interesting to see if IGN, Kotaku and all follow the example ResetEra has set to stop the trans genocide

B-Dubs’ Legacy (of cowardice)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/concerning-hogwarts-legacy-and-jk-rowling.678517/

After continued internal discussion, we began to start outlining the issues put forth by Rowling and the game in question and each time, and as we discussed it all, we kept coming back to the simple fact that Rowling is not only a bigot but is actively pushing, in her position as a wealthy and famous individual, for legislation that will hurt trans people. That she uses the influence and money gained from her success with Harry Potter to push transphobic legislation.

Who the fuck wrote this garbage? I don't mean the content about Joanne, I mean the actual fucking sentences.

Knew they were gonna do a complete ban. Besides being cowards, B-Dubs and company boxed themselves in when they capitulated with Cyberpunk 2077. They couldn't possibly allow HL if it kicks off the global trans genocide everyone there deluded/gaslit themselves into thinking it does.

[CHOW CHOW]

Absolutely nuts how a handful of terminally online incels who couldn’t get laid so they decided they were trans lesbians basically run that entire community.

[Boredfrom]

I imagine a lot of people are starting to smell the blood in the Transexual VS The World conflict outside of Twitter. They are not totally wrong that a lot of more people are starting to have terfy like opinions when a two years ago was unthinkable, but dont connect the dots about losing a lot of good will outside of those places.

You know that will be enforced the second Kyuuji or one of her hangers-ons gets triggered that someone mentioned how well HL sold and runs to the mods' Discord to bitch and complain. I have no doubt even mentioning how well HL sold in passing will quickly become a bannable offense.

Welp. So much for not banning any more games, huh?

 

What a fucking moron.

Exactly. B-Dubs made it clear that if you scream, cry, engage in hyperbole, and use emotional blackmail, you'll eventually get your way. The trans members on ERA knows that, so they have that entire community under their fingers. More games will get banned.

[benjipwns]

Sure, ActivisionBlizzard's actions regarding sexual harassment actually did lead to a suicide but everybody does that, what's NOT OKAY is Joanne thinking she can speak as a woman without permission or CDPR having a since fired employee that thought he could tweet making fun of games journalists.

excelsiorlef, if you were an actor and put in this situation, you wouldn't check for yourself? You'd just shrug your shoulders and trust that someone else did their job? Not me.

I am literally an actor by education, I have a performing arts degree, and no I fucking wouldn't be taking prop integrity into my own hands.

I'd be far more likely to make the prop gun less safe, not more.

Also great way to get fired from whatever part.

Absolutely love how you set up following SAG and general set safety protocols as moral failure.

Again there was criminal negligence here, it just wasn't, absent of some radical surprise evidence, from Alec Baldwin

I didn't see any of that in HP 

[HaughtyFrank]

Just give in to every insane demand, what could possibly go wrong .

Also I've still yet to see where Rowling actually used her money to influence anti-trans politics

It would be glorious if the game turns out to be absolutely terrible and they can't shit all over it.

It would be glorious if the game turns out to be absolutely terrible and they can't shit so over it.

No doubt they'll be desperate to talk about how horribly problematic some aspect of this game is.
