Forspoken now a protected class on Resetera.

Reports and posts have been reviewed, and the thread will remain locked.

Staff agreed to come down harder on posts than we might have otherwise in similar threads for other games. Why is this?

We absolutely know that misogynoir (the hatred of Black women) exists, and that it always relevant in situations such as this where a Black woman is the protagonist of a major product, even if the team behind the character's creation is non-Black. We also know that when products such as these that invariably feature some notable form of representation turn out less than perfect, or even outright bad, these flaws are used as plausible deniability to continuously and exaggeratedly harp on an object of ire, either subconsciously or not.

This does not mean that such products cannot be criticized, as even Forspoken fans in here have pointed out some issues with things like the game's stability on PC or the music. Rather, it means that we have a responsibility to look at the criticism and attitudes in aggregate and see how they are serving the environment of minority inclusion staff try to foster here.

So, where does that leave us with Forspoken? Ultimately, it's an average game starring a Black woman that was released to a market dominated by white men, and here we have a forum full of white and non-Black members who have been shitting on the game for months on end for every single flaw, not only to the detriment of Black members' enjoyment of the forum as a whole, but in rebuke of their lived experience of racial bias and sexism within the game industry. This has come somewhat to a head in this thread, wherein non-Black content creators continue with the exact same behavior.

This stops today with this thread. We will be harder on the inflammatory rhetoric and side-eye worthy jokes in Forspoken threads than we've been in the past. Drive-bys and anything that can be construed as being dismissive of the valid issues at hand will be hit as such, with standard two week bans going out and escalations happening to members with similar priors.

Happy Black History Month.

I’m personally mad because I don’t password share but I actually travel and spend prolonged time abroad in the USA visiting my in laws with my wife. Due to this change it seems I’d have to be asking for 7 day codes every week after a month just because Netflix has decided to make it more difficult for others to share their passwords. I’m not going to do that, I pay for Netflix and I’m not going to jump through hoops, no matter how small, every 7 days just to have them accept that I’m allowed access to what I’ve paid for and have paid for since damn near a decade ago. If others have no issues with it then great, good for them that’s totally fine, I personally will take my money elsewhere even if my own personal sub means nothing at all in the grand scheme of things.

He's going to cancel his account to not have to get a one-time use code to use his subscription wherever he wants? How is this supposed to make sense?

It's getting harder and harder to stay strong, my agoraphobia is incredibly strong these days. I keep going through cycles but please please cis people understand what this does. Understand what level of fear in constantly stareing down. My existence is a debate, parents get angry with me going grocery shopping, people constantly stare and mock me.....

Please don't just say how terrible like, this is my life please give some kind of shit. Just angry or protective or something... fuckin anything! Call your senators, fuckin reach out trans people just something. Not to be rude but seeing in the Hogwarts thread how many "supporters" couldn't even care about literally doing the minimum I just....

How the fuck am I supposed to feel safe when we have entire swarms of hatred and cruelty thrown against us and we keep seeing people stand on the fuckin sidelines and go "how sad" and go back to whatever the fuck you were doing

Nothing is happening, you are paranoid.

Don’t tell me RE hard on for AI is because “Socialism”.

No chance. AI/ML stuff is basically printing press levels of work reduction, but for dozens of industries instead of just the one.

It's always been true in human history that population<tasks. That is, it was fine when we got things like the cotton gin or trains or whatever because there were still plenty of things to do that we could then turn into jobs. But we're rapidly approaching a turning point where the efficiencies produced from AI will drastically reduce tasks for the population to do. Even a 10% reduction in jobs would be absolutely devastating.

Totally new territory for humans here.

And yet a huge chunck of the population will be against universal basic income because "socialism".

If this all pans out in a way that it looks like it will, once unemployment reaches certain level, people will see that they have no choice but to accept it. I don't think it's that people are afraid of some boogeyman of socialism, what they are probably afraid of, even if they don't realize it or don't want to admit it, is the feeling that world simply doesn't need them, feeling of uselessness.

These people only conceive of the world as having a finite supply of wealth that was created back 6000 years ago by God and there will never be anything more. This is despite most of the forum being old enough to remember a time before the internet and smartphones.

I'm not super familiar with the books, but wasn't the fact that they were unable to use Voldemort's name specifically made as a thematic point that it was irrational fear and absurdity?

And just made Voldemort more powerful (influence wise).

Dumbledore outright says this at the end of the first book and is the main reason why Harry calls him by his name.

Wait, so everyone has been doing this for like 20 years even though you're clearly not supposed to do it according to the fiction?

(Image removed from quote.)

What Black slang was in that video? What's "Black slang"? Are we really being progressives doing that thing where "urban" means "Black"? You know that's what white people from the suburbs do to talk about Black people right?

They're literally saying they're banning making fun of a game because they think it's a coded attack deliberately about harming Black members?

I just wish social media algorithms hadn't made the members of ResetERA.com so violently racist. It's been over five years at this point and virulent racists are constantly being exposed as being members (even prominent ones including some within the game industry) and the staff seem powerless to do anything but slap most of them on the wrist and lock off subjects from discussion. And here we are, yet again with the staff saying there's nothing they can do about the forum being overrun with racists and white supremacists who will take any chance they can get, subconsciously or not, to harm Black bodies. And on the first day of Black History Month at that.

What's super insane is that in the parallel universe where Forspoken's the exact same but everyone's going nuts for the hacky Whedonesque dialogue, I could easily see the Nepenthera position being that the game sucks and people shouldn't praise lazily slapping a black character model over some cringey white shit.

There's no principal here aside from a certain portion of Era deciding the 'right' side and declaring anyone who doesn't fall in line racist. The content doesn't matter, just the posturing.

Basically I hate Era staff for making me want to use the phrase 'virtue signalling' seriously.

The app’s copy indicates that there’s a test seat available to gauge whether or not an attendee meets these requirements. Given that the average waist circumference in the U.S. is just around 40 inches, this certainly seems likely to exclude a good number of folks.

Another popular tweet calls out the absurdity of such a strict waist limitation. “A 40” waist line is about a [women’s] size 20.”

According to CDC statistics cited by Healthline, the average clothing size for adults assigned female at birth hovers between 18 to 20. As many replies to the tweet above indicate, a 40-inch waist is a “very normal and common size to be for many body types.”

The waistline requirement particularly stings as Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge is the only ride to be featured at Super Nintendo World, yet it’s not designed to accommodate average or plus size attendees’ physical dimensions.

Fuck me. These people are fucking ridiculous.

If they keep escalating this, and if it comes to violence, they're going to find out real quick there are those of us on the left who are armed too. The war they dream about will not be as one-sided as they think.

 

If resetera is a good representation of trans existence maybe their genocide is the answer.

Oh and it will be pretty one sided since most of them will take to resetera while being approached by someone with a gun.

"ResetERA.com help me, the death squad lock picked their way into my house and left a 'missed you while you were out' note inside. But what's really triggering my anxiety is that they said they'd be back between 9AM and 9PM, that's not an actual time! Do I have to spend the whole fucking day waiting for the firing squad?!?"

According to CDC statistics cited by Healthline, the average clothing size for adults assigned female at birth hovers between 18 to 20.

It's really amazing how little we think about how a random person putting a random gender marker in your records when you're born can determine how your body develops for the rest of your life and what Nintendo theme park rides you can enjoy. You'd think by 2023 we'd have moved past this absurd religious tradition but nope, Joanne continues to get her way.

Talking about games with POC protagonists, I want to play the original Prey (a game we’re the Native American main actor was actually consulted by the Writers).

Now that's a game that really has been removed from Steam (although you can still find Steam keys floating around).

And has one of the stupidest explanations about why they can't just generate new keys for it.

Prey is awesome. Question if the reason it hasn’t shown up on GOG is the licensed music. If you can’t have blue oyster cult during an alien abduction, what’s the point.

Also notable for trying to “fix” dying in games, along with Dennis Dyack’s Too Human.

Removed cause it has a POC protagonist and vagina doors?
