No, you read manga because you're a paedo, not for any other reason.

Yes, she should consider herself lucky she didn't die when we were busy indiscriminately murdering civilians over there. And it is ISIS that are apparently the barbaric ones.

Yes.

So yeah, she has said she regrets it and has also repeatedly apologised.

Oh, well everything is hunky-dory then.

Of course she regrets it...she's facing consequences for her actions. I bet she wouldn't be regretting it if the caliphate had succeeded and she was living her best life on the corpses of those ISIS had murdered.

NepNep dun give a fuck about Latin as she has banned them even if they're brown skinned.

Well, Latinos insist on using their TERF adjacent gendered language instead of the trans overlord and white activist approved Latinx.

But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.

“I call her Rachel,” Perone told The Intercept, when reached by telephone. “I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing.”

Well, since most of Reeeeesetera are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow babies who think Marvel movies are real life (or close enough) and are easily swayed by the simple moralising that is presented in those movies, then he probably thinks it would be easier for him to convince the general population of the site that ISIS recruits can't be blamed for their actions because those bad ISIS extremists (not the good Muslim extremists like Rusty) made some convincing and high budget videos.

It's off to a great start.

They have to work around actors schedules and availability.

Didn't know actors were also making the CGI, man that's rough.

Wrong!

They're not fascists until AFTER their characters are killed off in the MCU and they're no longer involved in Disney productions.

Until then they're just being misunderstood by bad actors (the online kind, not the thespian kind) who are just offended that Disney are ushering us into a new socialist utopia.

[benjipwns]

Uh, duh, exactly what I'm saying. These fascists know exactly what they're doing, they infiltrate any movement for liberation like the MCU and immediately get to work undermining the "take a carrot, leave a carrot" principles so it looks like a failure. But they're stupid (and weak) which is why despite having their tentacles everywhere backed by all the most powerful forces on Earth they constantly show their asses by playing the w*z*rd g*m* or whatever and we've all been side-eying them the entire time waiting for them to make it clear to the vast majority of people. That's when everybody gets out their hookup knives and the community does a little internal policing to keep everyone safe.

It's just something we have to keep on our toes for because the social media algorithms have weakened our collective anti-fascist antibodies.

Community Thread word salad on why banning Hogwarts Legacy is ok but banning Atomic Hearts isn't...for "reasons":

Sure, but I wish people were a little more... reflective about this stuff?

The idea that banning Hogwarts Legacy discussion means all problematic games should be off the table moving forward is just silly. The much stronger precedent is that we tend to discuss problematic stuff. And no, there obviously isn't some scientific process being used to quantify when something crosses the line for this forum. "You banned this but not that??" questions often commit the category error of making this about being beholden to some precise utilitarian calculation, as opposed to being true to our community. Of course we're more sensitive, collectively, to some things than others.

I mean, it's also very true that Hogwarts Legacy is an interesting case of an IP that is directly, continuously, and singularly enriching a wildly malicious and influential transphobe, with a base text that itself captures a good amount of that maliciousness, but also... we care a lot about creating a comfortable space for trans people. We have a sizable trans community. We have an active thread discussing JK Rowling's bigotry. We often discuss how the UK, the US, and elsewhere have actively slid backwards in terms of trans rights, and how JK Rowling has become a central figure in the frightening anti-trans movement underlying that. Like, I'm pretty sure we haven't just said fuck Hogwarts Legacy, we've also said fuck that whole franchise, period. And for good reason.

One downside is that some folks won't get to discuss a game they're playing on this forum. That discussion itself, though, isn't some big miss. I don't see a ton of important angles being overlooked, I don't see us stumbling into punching down in some unexamined fashion, nothing like that. And that itself is, partly, a reflection of our community: there was a lot of groundwork laid into ultimately making the decision to ban this game, as we had already thoroughly discussed the IP, JK Rowling, the anti-trans movement, how our trans members have felt witnessing all of this unfold, etc. Basically, the most relevant discussion has already been had, comprehensively, and continues to take place across a number of threads.

Something like Atomic Heart feels different to me, where if we're honest with ourselves, there are indeed probably a lot of significant blindspots we're examining the game with. Plenty of issues and weirdness around it, absolutely, but more discussion is almost definitely warranted. We're not experts in the context around Russian game development. We're vulnerable to misreading things, assuming the worst, sensationalizing. And when a reason for banning something is so strongly, so inevitably tied to its place of origin, we risk stumbling into some pretty bad prejudices. Even putting aside all the other things Atomic Heart doesn't have in common with Hogwarts Legacy, which there are many, the existence of a much more obvious imperative for discussion is a pretty big distinguishing factor that justifies treating it differently.

Basically, 90% of the time that someone whatabouts Hogwarts Legacy's ban, they're missing the forest for the trees to a dramatic extent. Their utilitarian calculation is bad, their overemphasis on making such a calculation is bad, their underemphasis on community is bad. They're drawing massively fallacious conclusions from the banning of this one game. I'm not sure mods have been handling the enforcement of the "stop asking for things to be banned" rule particularly well, but the basic idea that the vast majority of problematic stuff is still going to be on the table for discussion and folks should calm down defaulting to the ban option is as right as it is obvious.

TL;DR summary:

[Raist]

He's right you know.

JKR has clearly enabled the current trans genocide.

Meanwhile, what has Russia ever done, huh?

Why do (some) white people do this? There should be a study.

Speaking honestly, I've sometimes wondered if the whole cultural melting pot strategy combined with the white default has left some white people feeling like they straight up don't have a culture to give them a sense of identity. Like, some people I've talked to seem to be outright uncomfortable to be aware that they're white, like the idea that they have an ethnicity too is some shameful secret they didn't know before. Or the second generation immigrants who try to present as exaggerated ideals of what their ethnicity is like.

I got the feeling that the people that pull stuff like this is small enough to say either way. Also, I think you are confusing white guilt with feeling out of place because your skin.

I will give you this, at least this line of reasoning is more  interesting, if flawed, than straight “white supremacy and white culture”. Then again,the  “white default” and blaming the melting pot sounds borderline white supremacist talking points.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

is like the identity politics discourse has been abysmal this decade that we are back to a century of racial talking points.

Did you check with Nepenthe to see if it was okay to say white people have culture?

Anyway, why the fuck would I want to develop a "sense of identity" based on superficial aspects of other people? Especially one based on nonsense like race? Because I'm white I should have pride when some Italian starts to talk about his spicy meatballs on toppa da pizza even though I'm not Italian? When some German wants to show me scat porn I should appreciate it not for its inherent art form but because some of my ancestors hung around centuries ago trying to figure out if the area was Holy, Roman or an Empire? Should I be having a crisis of identity when I enjoy Asian dishes and women?

Look, I just want to point something out. We take freedom of speech for granted. We can say whatever the fuck we want about whoever the fuck we want without fear of retaliation. You wanna call Joe Biden or Donald Trump a fuckface, that is your right. The government can't do shit to stop you, you have the ability to freely criticize those in power without fear of retaliation. This is not the reality that everyone lives in.

The Russian government is well-known for disappearing dissenters. They've been doing it since the days of the October Revolution and even before that. Russia is the sort of place, and it has always been the sort of place, where speaking out against and criticizing those in power is a dangerous game. Maybe you get thrown in jail, sent to a labor camp, everything you've ever built gets taken from you, or you straight up get murdered in the middle of the street. People who have spoken out about the war have vanished, protestors against the war jailed or worse. It's not a good place to be an independent thinker, it never has been. There is a real danger to this stuff. Rich or poor, oligarch or random person on the street, there's a danger here that we haven't had to deal with in our lifetimes.

So when we talk about pressuring the government, we have to realize that their situation is not like our own. Even in the last 30 years, even in my own lifetime, speaking truth to power in Russia has been an incredibly dangerous activity and those that do it tend not to come out of it unscathed. There is a real danger to all this that we do not have to deal with, regardless of what false equivalencies people might try and draw between the two situations.

You missed the best part:

But it's always easy to ask other people to be the hero and change their country. Just go get arrested or leave the country.
Even with all the protection to freedom of speech, we are still engaged in a 20+ year war and unable to pass any sensible gun control laws. So who are we to judge.

You were perfectly fine until you hit the third sentence. Seriously, shut up.

I'm sorry. I just think we should first judge ourself by the same standard we judge others.

It's so funny how these people always have everything so backwards.  One of the best 'white privileges' of America and its melting pot is that you don't have to think about/nobody really cares that much about distinct European ethnicity as some defining feature of who you are and how you behave.  I still have an accent from when I moved here as a 18-19 year old and I almost never get asked where I'm from because nobody gives a shit if you just look like some white guy.

Here they are thinking that this is a bad thing.  Crazy shit.

Chris raised so right he just harasses disabled women?

It really can't be stressed enough how insane it is that RE officially declared baldness a disability and even banned people for daring to say that it isn't.

Speaking honestly, I've sometimes wondered if the whole cultural melting pot strategy combined with the white default has left some white people feeling like they straight up don't have a culture to give them a sense of identity. Like, some people I've talked to seem to be outright uncomfortable to be aware that they're white, like the idea that they have an ethnicity too is some shameful secret they didn't know before.

Did you check with Nepenthe to see if it was okay to say white people have culture?

Anyway, why the fuck would I want to develop a "sense of identity" based on superficial aspects of other people? Especially one based on nonsense like race? Because I'm white I should have pride when some Italian starts to talk about his spicy meatballs on toppa da pizza even though I'm not Italian? When some German wants to show me scat porn I should appreciate it not for its inherent art form but because some of my ancestors hung around centuries ago trying to figure out if the area was Holy, Roman or an Empire? Should I be having a crisis of identity when I enjoy Asian dishes and women?

User Banned (1 Month): Racism

Mmmh monosodium glutamate

this is so ridiculous since Chinese restaurants have finally starting using MSG again.

if i report a post on here does it trickle to era?

Not to mention that there's nothing inherently wrong with MSG.    It's like banning someone for racism for saying, "Oh, ramen?  Too many carbs for me."

Community Thread word salad on why banning Hogwarts Legacy is ok but banning Atomic Hearts isn't...for "reasons":

TL;DR summary:
(Image removed from quote.)

This is a really good post, thanks.  I kinda wanted to say that I've felt uncomfortable at the number of posts I've seen that are like "you're gonna seriously ban "that game", but not atomic heart, etc?".  The HL ban discussion was going back like 2 years and building up.

Just want to say this is a brilliant post, and thank you for saying it. I've bit my tongue a number of times when seeing people whose sole involvement with an issue is to post a couple of lines of metacommentary, or use it as a means to throw shade at another. Where people act surprised that something they put zero effort into achieving didn't magically happen, and who seem to have no desire to actually raise awareness about the issue themselves. You see people speaking of 'consistency' aimed solely at the staff, while completely ignoring the level of effort they themselves have shown relative to that which they're so desperate to compare to. You summed it all up far better than I could have, I appreciate it.

Very well said.

kyuuji: you gotta make an effort like we did, can't just walk in at the last minute and expect results!
b-dubs: yeah, damn straight, now shut up
atomic heart hater: ah, we just gotta bitch more and louder, message received!
b-dubs: no, that's bannable how many times do i have to repeat myself
atomic heart hater: but, that makes no sense because that's what they did to get the job done?
b-dubs: uhm, no because.. errr... seriously just shut the fuck up you imbecile
red mercury: i for one am grateful for the job the mods are doing and i'm so happy that everything has been made clear, we should all sing "we shall overcome" together!
everyone else: SHUT UP ALREADY!

So Empress (the only person who consistently can jailbreak Denuvo games) has cracked Hogwarts Legacy, A lot of Rowling haters were waiting for this so they could play it without paying for it. Here is the change log by Empress:

Well-known hacker EMPRESS, who promised to hack Hogwarts Legacy as soon as possible, reported about her ban on Reddit. The administration did not name the reason for the ban - most likely, the reason is the negative attitude to the game and, as a consequence, the fact that more people will play it after the hack.

What's wild is that their unhinged illogical soapbox tirade is built on a landmark hack that directly undermines the profits of the world's most notorious transphobe for the benefit of the wOkE mOb that wants to financially boycott her. Make it make sense.

Some people just want free shit, other people want clout. Hope that clears it up.

This is only gonna get worse. Especially with the supreme court likely going to make interacial marriage illegal again in the next couple of years.

I wish people would stop doing this. Roe Vs. Wade was safe too, remember, and everyone was saying the same thing and in the decision they called out those things, add in Florida and other states trying to outlaw anything that makes people level to whites or even discussion of racism thinking it's doubtful is extremely shortsighted. If you still can't see they want a literal white Facist ethnostate I don't what to tell you.
