good news everyone they're fixing world of warcraft! it's becoming a more friendly space for everyone!

Several emotes have been adjusted:

• Drool, cough, burp, fart, whistle, spit, and moon no longer change when used while targeting a player.
• Pounce and groan have been adjusted when used while targeting a player.
• 4 new emotes have been added – Huzzah, magnificent, impressed, and wince.
• Kick, stink, shake, and moan have been removed.
• • Developers’ note: Some of these emotes seem to have harmless intentions at a glance, but when used while targeting another player, their intentions can turn unexpectedly suggestive or intrusive. We’ve made adjustments to these emotes with negative connotations towards another player, while also adding a few new ones.

https://www.wowhead.com/news/female-only-ghosts-in-karazhan-updated-to-include-male-versions-324371

The early trash in Karazhan is largely made up of the tower's undead former residents and party goers, many packs of which were comprised of female only models - particularly those enemies found on the way to the Maiden of Virtue - most of which would transform into a Banshee or Succubus at low health. This PTR update changes many of those mobs to include male versions with new or gender neutral transformations, and although not every pack now contains male and female models, the area as a whole is a bit more diverse than it was before.

AV Club lost their balls when they wrote up about the WoW rape house.

I kept expecting for the usual AV Club derisive mocking of such a stupid complaint but it never came.  The real victim of 9/11 was the death of sarcasm and irony.

an in-game location that’s picked up the charming in-game nickname “rape tavern” from some of its frequent residents. Located near the starting area for human players, the tavern has long been a hotspot on some servers for “erotic role play,” whether in the form of carefully crafted descriptions of textual intercourse, or in the use of a variety of items, dances, and poses to simulate sex. (“Snow cannons,” which fire white globules of material into the air, are apparently a popular feature.)

the Motherboard piece notes a vocal contingent of players who are upset that many tavern participants won’t take “No” for the answer it needs to be. The most distressing examples include moments in which people overwhelmed by the sexual chaos flee the tavern, only to be pursued, surrounded, and harassed by other players

"It was supposed to be a nice evening. I created a mage and went straight to Goldshire. The tavern was packed. All the guests were wearing either fancy costumes or nothing at all. I've never seen so many purple breasts. I thought I'd landed in a real sex club," Klara said. After a few minutes, various tavern guests sent her public and private messages. "I was asked if I want to have sex. That wasn't all that surprising to me, so I asked what the chat rules were, something I'm used to from my escort work in Second Life." A number of players told her that it's a lot more about the "animations" than long sensual descriptions of intimate moments, as is the case in Second Life.

What does the straight part matter? what does that even add to your argument lol.

A lot of straight people are deaf, dumb, blind AND choose to remain ignorant about LGBTQ and minority struggles. So yeah

and

The white people who got called racist earlier in this thread are having an all out celebration right now

Imagine.  White people being happy they weren't proven a racist.  That's exactly how a racist would react.

That thread was a perfect way to set up the weekend on Era

[Averon]

It is not like people were saying anything crazy (for ERA). The people being called yts and racists just applied the same standards for trashing anti-vaxx people to LeBron that they (ERA) apply to anyone else they come across that says "I did my own research." when it comes to vaccines.

Is this supposed to be some kind of a sick burn?   

As an alumni of the Dr. Forrester school of sick burns by Dr. Forrester in thread titles, these would be considered outright vulgarity.

If i were to apply the austere Dr's delicately scathing wit the names would be writ as such:

POOPY POOPYCHIN and POOPSTEN POOPYMA

This is my own interpretation of the Dr's work. I will not pretend to step on my mentor's toes while striding his shoulders! Nay! The utterance of the sage would delve as deep as a toddlers first recollection of a cat's asshole or as wide as the wisdom of an apple juice commercial from the 40's.

The axiom of our alma mater is, "Don't be rude. Don't be crude. Never call it toilet paper.. make up some other name for it.. Johnny wax?.. anyway Leave it to Beaver.. or something.. aww heck."

That is the thing that is so irritating, they didn’t have problem shitting on other black athletes but Lebron is suddenly untouchable and daring to point out that the guy that “will not shut up and dribble” suddenly is not outspoken for a cause that affects his community.

Kind of telling that most people passive aggressive defending vaxx skepticism in the black community are BCT and Socialism RE regulars.

User Banned (1 Month): Concern Trolling on a Sensitive Topic; Prior Ban for the Same

He's an advocate for China but not for a vaccine. Everyone praising him for not saying anything about the vaccine prior to taking it is bonkers to me.

He could have impacted millions, literally, with choosing to get it months ago. He's an advocate for his bottom line and that's it.

Banned for a post made on Wednesday, which Royalan took exception to, when his last post in the thread was Saturday:

Yeah Draymond and LeBron have bad vaccination takes, but this thread remains weird

Weird like when the word "racist" gets thrown around for having a valid point about the topic.

It looks to me like someone went back and found a suitable post to ban Indy in the Fridge for, so I guess the moral of the story is, don't make Royalan look foolish.

Generally I think there has been a drive to consider simply everything valid. There may not even be any person who feels that way, but if you say it would be invalid for someone to claim that they're a gay man who is only attracted to women you're already a bigot.

On the other hand removing the transphobia while leaving all the racism homophobia and misogyny would seem kinda silly and insufficient.

This is petty as hell. This comment was made days ago, and it wasn't "actionable" back then when he was directly going at it with a mod. To go back days later and ban him well after the fact is some Tyler-esque petty, vindictive bullshit. And we all know this only happened because he was proven right that LeBron was peddling anti-vaxx bullshit. Notice how neither Nep or Royalan have shown back up since LeBron is now much more clearly showing his anti-vaxx bullshit. Can't show up the mods that they are protecting anti-vaxx attitudes in a display of gross hypocrisy. Such fragile creatures.

And we all know the one who banned him was Nep. She's was in the thread and she is petty enough to do this.

GTA 6: LOCKDOWN brings GTA to a new generation

Today we are proud to announce GTA 6: LOCKDOWN. Most of you reading this have probably seen the trailer that just dropped at the Xbox E3 Games Presentation and are as excited as we are that yes, GTA is back!
We want to thank all the fans for sticking with us. Rest assured that GTA 6 will be the most inclusive and diverse GTA experience yet.

You can still expect all the things that made GTA great. From high speed driving to living it up large in your own appartment. By popular request you can also change your haircut to anything you like. This one is for you CJ!
But while we love the original GTA experience, especially when we revisited it to deliver our remastered trilogy it became apparent to us that times had changed.
In order for GTA 6 to be as groundbreaking as the other GTA games we had to literally break new ground.

First we've taken a small leap into the future. The game takes place in the vibrant Vice City of 2030. A new time and place brings new opportunities.
In 2030 there's a strict non-violence decree active across all of Vice City and energy is in short supply. In fact, at the beginning of the game the city is in total lockdown to preserve power and it is up to you to get things going again!
You have to get creative and can't just use any old crowbar to steal an electric self-driving car. Did someone say hacking...?

The first character we've revealed is Hannah. They is a feisty non-binary police officer trying to improve the local community and keep the gangs in their place, speaking of which...
Todd is her rival since high school and the dashing lad you have seen in our trailer. Todd decided to join a gang of no-good polluters backed by evil captains of fossil fuel industry. Could they be behind the power outage?
Our third character is Kai Cheng. A Chinese immigrant working for GreenPower. A powerful yet mysterious corporation with a hidden agenda.
GTA 6: LOCKDOWN will be more story driven than ever before but this is the future we're talking about and there is no shortage of virtual realities to escape to for old fashioned sandbox fun.

We can't wait to share more information about GTA 6: LOCKDOWN ahead of its expected 2024 release but our batteries are running low.
See you next time!

[Taco Bell Tower]

Sorry, but if you're a world famous celebrity in the middle of a global pandemic that has killed so many people, you have a moral obligation to use your influence for good.

I did not paint him as a sinner but he absolutely is in the wrong here.

He does use his influence for good, it’s just that it’s not the exact good that you personally wanted.

They're still convinced the massive backlash against Cyberpunk was in relation to the (supposed) transphobia, and not the bugs/framerate.

Hetero imagination of what a gay/trans/nb person or whatever the hell this is supposed to be looks like.

Very risky line of argument to go down, my friend. 

"this character was designed and voiced by a trans member of our team, who desperately wanted to be included in the game. we tried to tell them that some players wouldn't like it, but they insisted on being represented, and we are proud that they have a place in our vision"

Reeeeesetera: "Stop making trans characters a stereotypical caricature of a man in a dress."
Developers: "Ok."
*Inserts standard female character model*
Reeeeesetera: Trans erasure!!!  Trans erasure!

see the new saints row replacing Freckle Bitch's with FB's, and Rim Jobs with Jim Robs

FB's is no big deal, but Jim Robs? That doesnt even make sense and the entire joke dies. What? Lol

Never heard of these changes, thats hilarious

They made the Acephobe a moderator again when no one was looking? 

No wonder women and minorities are leaving the site in droves.

Rockstar upon hearing this news says thanks for your thoughts on this important issue. Then hangs up the phone and   

GTA 6: LOCKDOWN brings GTA to a new generation

Today we are proud to announce GTA 6: LOCKDOWN. Most of you reading this have probably seen the trailer that just dropped at the Xbox E3 Games Presentation and are as excited as we are that yes, GTA is back!
We want to thank all the fans for sticking with us. Rest assured that GTA 6 will be the most inclusive and diverse GTA experience yet.

You can still expect all the things that made GTA great. From high speed driving to living it up large in your own appartment. By popular request you can also change your haircut to anything you like. This one is for you CJ!
But while we love the original GTA experience, especially when we revisited it to deliver our remastered trilogy it became apparent to us that times had changed.
In order for GTA 6 to be as groundbreaking as the other GTA games we had to literally break new ground.

First we've taken a small leap into the future. The game takes place in the vibrant Vice City of 2030. A new time and place brings new opportunities.
In 2030 there's a strict non-violence decree active across all of Vice City and energy is in short supply. In fact, at the beginning of the game the city is in total lockdown to preserve power and it is up to you to get things going again!
You have to get creative and can't just use any old crowbar to steal an electric self-driving car. Did someone say hacking...?

The first character we've revealed is Hannah. They is a feisty non-binary police officer trying to improve the local community and keep the gangs in their place, speaking of which...
Todd is her rival since high school and the dashing lad you have seen in our trailer. Todd decided to join a gang of no-good polluters backed by evil captains of fossil fuel industry. Could they be behind the power outage?
Our third character is Kai Cheng. A Chinese immigrant working for GreenPower. A powerful yet mysterious corporation with a hidden agenda.
GTA 6: LOCKDOWN will be more story driven than ever before but this is the future we're talking about and there is no shortage of virtual realities to escape to for old fashioned sandbox fun.

We can't wait to share more information about GTA 6: LOCKDOWN ahead of its expected 2024 release but our batteries are running low.
See you next time!

I dunno what's worse. Thinking this might have been true, or thinking that this is how the new Saint's Row, came about.

He does use his influence for good, it’s just that it’s not the exact good that you personally wanted.

A call for vaccines seems to be the minimum stuff to do in this case, if it was not because the US politicians made it a political issue.  But the guy sell himself as the face of his sport and something to aspire to.

why tho unless he's fronting a campaign to encourage kids to get vaxxed, any adult who decides what to do based on what lebum jame or any other celebrity says about it is a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow who shouldn't be allowed to make decisions for themselves anyway

Also feels weird that the letter from Out Making Games says 'we love your games!' like why?  GTA is jam packed with sexism, chauvanism, barely any good female characters and glorifies criminal behaviour.  There've been actual real world violent crimes that were done as imitations of the games.

Enjoying problematic media isn't problematic in itself.

I didn’t know Jack Thompson posted on Era.

Sounds like she's describing that genre of music that local KKK Grand Wizard Morrigan hated.

Lol right?

Lol

And we're done here lol

lmao

He's most likely still in jail and prob has another 14-19 years to go

The almost were having fun in a thread related to the judicial system.  Thank god for those brave fun police.


And once again Era proves it's understanding of the justice system.

Update from last year. She was there when he was released from prison.

Not your fault, Era didn't exist yet in 2015

Was it not posted in NeoGAF? I was waiting for the elf to approve my account back in the days

[ShutUp]

Wait they really turned Rim Jobs into Jim Robs?

*Quick Google search later*

User banned (1 month): Whataboutism in a sensitive thread

So is it just the fact there are stereotypical trans NPC's?  That's what they want removed?  I platinumed the game twice and never even knew they existed, the smack talk from the player character seems pretty bad.

I thought maybe there was a rampage mission against trans people they wanted cut but they aren't included in the list of groups you go against.

Took them longer than I expected
