While in isolation it sounds like an inane thing to point out, going to hate MCU and Sony fits with the slide to alt right talking points when those properties have had more diversity.

Black Panther 2 will be fascinating to see how Era handles the discussion about it.

Ban discussion about it because of Wright? Absolute chaos  :rejoice

Try to discuss the movie while people repeatedly try to derail discussions to force everyone to discuss Wright and talk over the BCT in the process? Absolute chaos  :lawd

We win either damn way  :aah

What do you expect from a black character written by a white man? Black Panther leans into the "lazy black man" and the "rich African king whose people are starving" tropes, but what do you expect from a company founded by a racist Nazi Klan member?

The movie was written by two Black guys though. Although living in Amerikkka they've likely both internalized white supremacy.

And Wakanda isn't starving because it's based on an illogical theory that a closed society cut off merely a generation back can have superior science and a more advanced civilization than the globally integrated society which itself already has mindboggingly advanced science perpetuated by literal gods.

Zero Punctuation/Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw was very much part of the pro gamergate, anti SJW, and bigoted side of that website. That's why he probably stayed because he was fine with the new alt right sympathiser direction at Escapist.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-last-of-us-2-empathy-anti-cultism-mrgirl.268977/page-3#post-42722481

Quote from: Messofanego
Yahtzee (Ben Croshaw) has been showing his SQW, transphobic, conservative, pro-gamergate ass for many years! These are just the few examples I found back in 2017 over on the old place, haven't followed his trash opinions since so there could be more recent awful takes.

This is on top of being buddies with Ian Miles Cheong. Then again, I never thought this was surprising. He'll bring up "ideological diversity".

Not a big fan of diversity:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...-Gender-Choice (dead link)
"And that made me think about this big sticky issue of diversity in video games...And now I'm trying to think of a game in which the main character being female is inseparable from the plot, but I'm drawing a bit of a blank. The Path, or Beyond Good & Evil, maybe. Or the Tomb Raider remake, but barring that one single act of attempted rape the plot is virtually the same as that of Far Cry 3. Perhaps this confirms the existence of a lack of diversity, but I'm not sure how to fix that. Game developers do remain predominantly male through no fault of their own, and asking them, from a male perspective, to make games about a female perspective, would probably produce something rather disingenuous.

But I digress. Okay then - let's say that every game should let you pick your gender as long as their gender isn't hugely central to the plot. Wait, that sounded weird. Games in which gender doesn't matter should let you choose your gender? If the gender doesn't matter, why should we care? Maybe the game developer just wants a character to be a generic cipher, so they make them a white male, because that's what they themselves are, and it's what generic means to them. To demand diversity for characters that are essentially blank placeholders is to put way more thought into it than the creator did."

"I thought the whole idea of equality was to be able to look beyond what brand of tackle everyone's swinging. Alright, I suppose there's a bit of an elephant in this room, that being the ongoing argument that video games are misogynistic, and the online proponents of such...So I welcome the perspective of those who want to discuss misogyny in video games, and in the interests of discourse, I don't agree with them.

Specifically I don't agree that video games are misogynistic just because there are certain tropes they tend to fall back on a lot. It is true that there are an awful lot of game stories where the protagonist is male and the female character exists either to be rescued or to die and give the protagonist motivation. We'll call that the hero-damsel narrative. I don't think that hero-damsel enforces misogyny. After all, the protagonist, the male, is the one who has it worst. He's the one who has to put himself at pain, and even die, over and over again, in an endless cycle of torment, for the benefit of the women. Yeah, 'damsels in distress' tend to be shallow characters without much agency, but who has less agency than the protagonist? The one that can't so much as lift a finger if the player doesn't press a button telling them to?"

"I do think it's true that games could use more diversity. But when I say that, I mean diversity of ideas, thoughtfulness, and perspectives. And that takes a whole lot more than just numerically equalizing the ham sandwiches to the sausage rolls."

Just not a fan of social justice:



"You know, whatever you think is currently the thing ruining video games, be it publishers, misogyny, social justice, Mumm-Ra or lead in the water pipes, it seems to be doing a fucking poor job of it because games have been pretty good lately. Maybe that's the equivalent of saying 'Ooh, it's a bit cold today, so much for global warming'. But I digress."

#t=1563

"If social justice tries to get up your case, all you need to do is flick V signs and blow an arse brick. Just whatever they say, go *blows raspberries*. At length. Keep doing it...Fuck you social justice for ruining the best day of that guy's life [shirtgate]."

#t=33m

"I thought feminists were supposed to be about wearing what you like. Suppose that doesn't apply to the MEN, does it? Men's rights for peace. [sarcastic tone] Men are the real victims."

Transphobia:

#t=1m45s

"The gameplay is best described as single-player co-op. And I know that sounds like saying 'I'm not gay, I only suck off pantomime dames', but it is."
"It's hard to sympathise when you have to put spotty mcbumblefuck through the X-ray machine cause his passport says he's a GIRL. And the last precious seconds in the day trickle out as you examine a picture of his hairy balls."

undertale allows you to torture and kill lovable characters who we know are diverse, multi-faceted and socialist/leftist leaning

you can kill a lovely goatmom who just wants to bake pies for fuck's sake

it presents both options as some sort of twisted morality system, sUrE gUyS yOu CaN pLaY aS bOtH sIdEs

both sides are equally valid choices in this fucked up universe

it's even worse because normally you would expect more self awareness from furries who are often on the receiving end of such abuse and should understand the importance of picking the only correct side for their content

It'll probably be a death by thousand cuts. She does something that wouldn't warrant any canceling on its own but then they drag up her heinous history, like promoting cyberpunk or thinking that sexy female characters are fun

In today's "How is Era staff so bad at this", someone starts a thread about something shitty Troy Baker did and puts in work to provide links to relevant information.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/troy-baker-walked-away-from-his-2017-crowdfunding-campaign-but-he-did-keep-all-the-money-from-it.539696/
Quote from: MinusTydus
So I was real hesitant to start this thread for a number of reasons.

First, Troy Baker has a ridiculous amount of fans here on ERA, and I'm not particularly in the mood to be dogpiled on by fans of Joel/Kanji/Joker/Whoever the fuck you like that believe that the person who portrays the character they like is not capable of wrongdoing.

Second, this is kind of a grey area for some people? Crowdfunding rewards were partially sent out, so if you ordered something digital, you likely got it. If you ordered something physical, well go fuck yourself with something sharp and rusty.

Third, I'm not really here for drive-bys or to be "Well Actually"-ed to death. (i.e. "Crowdfunding LOL" or "Well, actually, you should've filed a chargeback...") Yes, fuck me for believing an extremely well-known artist will fulfill their promises.

And lastly, for any wannabe backseat mods who are hovering over the report button: This thread is in Gaming, not because of the content of the thread (which is primarily music) but because the person the thread is about is primarily known as a video game voice actor (and not the musician he fancies himself to be).

With all of that out of the way (I'm tired), let's start:

In 2017, Troy Baker partnered with a site called pledgemusic.com (don't even bother, they are very much dead now) to start crowdfunding for a new album. More here:

ABOUT — WINDOW TO THE ABBEY
 www.windowtotheabbey.com www.windowtotheabbey.com

The album had a release date of June 14, 2017. Like all crowdfunding, various tiers were available. For $35.00 USD, you would receive digital copies of two albums, an autographed physical CD, and a second CD. For those details, since PledgeMusic is still deader than dead, we use the Wayback Machine:

Troy Baker: Window To The Abbey
https://web.archive.org/web/20170508103324/http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/troybaker
Six friends seeking to tell a story with music. Be a part of the experience. Be a part of the story.


The crowdfunding goal was reached on April 17, 2017. Then the delays started. June 2017 became October 2017. October 2017 became 2018. 2018 became 2019. And in May 2019, PledgeMusic unceremoniously died. If you'd like to go down that rabbit hole (why? why would you?) there's this:

https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2019/10/25/rise-and-fall-of-pledgemusic/
The Rise and Fall of PledgeMusic ⁠— How Everything Went Horribly Wrong
PledgeMusic as a crowdfunding platform was a massive success when it was founded in 2009. But soonafter, things started to go horribly wrong for artists.

Now it's crowdfunding. You aren't guaranteed anything with crowdfunding, but the plot thickens. You see, these rewards Troy Baker (or Window to the Abbey, whatever the fuck) promised pledgers were produced. And sold. By Troy Baker, at various Cons.

Now, there are no Kotaku articles about this, or any media coverage that I could find for that matter, and why would there be? Who the hell has ever heard of PledgeMusic? So the sources are basically my experience, and various social media posts. So here's someone's experience, and their claim that Troy had signed and sold these rewards (that again, were not sent out) at Cons:

https://twitter.com/BlondeNinja221B/status/1365030101142757377

There's also a Reddit thread that discusses some of this, but yeah, not linking to Reddit. Since PledgeMusic is dead, so is the comment section, which was filled with pledgers who never received anything from Mr. Relater.

The very last e-mail about this I received (I only ever received four), was on August 8, 2018. The text of the e-mail:

It's coming together + bonus content. Hello Friends! First of all, we want to say thank you all so much for your continued patience with this project! I know it's been a long time coming! We have the CDs in hand and the vinyls are on their way to us! The handwritten lyrics and coffee table book are the remaining things that we're working on...

Yeah, none of those CDs were sent. The ones they had in hand. But they were sold. At Cons.

We're three months away from the 5-year anniversary of me giving Troy Baker $35.00 so I could (Oh God, I'm gonna vom) #BeAPartOfTheStory:

https://twitter.com/TroyBakerVA/status/852997950544457728

It's thirty-five bucks, whatever I'll survive. Just wanted to let you all know, in case you didn't already, that Troy Baker is kind of a pretentious asshole.

The thread just generally bags on Troy Baker for a while, including the grocery store candy bar infetterence copy pasta, and someone with a real-life story about what a dick Baker is:
Quote from: dark494
I’ll share a story about Troy Baker.

Years ago, when he was at the height of popularity for his VA roles in a lot of anime, I and a few others who were running a college student group (that puts on a yearly convention) invited him to do a panel at said convention. He was the most difficult “guest” we’ve ever worked with. His list of demands were so over the top, expensive and pretentious it was a headache to deal with: First class airplane tickets, swanky high-class hotel accommodation, room service, in-flight wifi, a dedicated chauffeur available at all times, autographs not allowed, Q&A not allowed, escorts for everywhere he went, paid meals, no interaction with us or any other staff, and just his general mannerisms when he was around was very dismissive and bossy, like we were his servants, even softly “threatening” to leave if we didn’t acquiesce, and promptly left as soon as his little 30 minute talk was done. All at our expense.

The following year we invited Kyle Hebert instead, super chill guy, asked for a red eye flight to save us money, lot of fun to hang around, was super nice to everybody, went out to a BBQ with everyone, got us deep fried Oreos and had a great time. Night and day experience.

All in all it's a fairly benign thread with a relatively high-effort OP, considering, about something that didn't draw any media attention but certainly could have.

So then B-dubs comes in with another ass-pull judgment on thread worthiness:

Quote from: B-dubs
If an actual article gets published, we can have a thread.

And the thread is locked.

Constructive thread then has a bunch of people pop up to essentially WTF at the decision, as nobody has yet informed members that threads are a precious resource that must be conserved:
Quote from: Sheldon
Regarding the closure of the following thread:

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.resetera.com/threads/troy-baker-walked-away-from-his-2017-crowdfunding-campaign-but-he-did-keep-all-the-money-from-it.539696/[/URL]

Asking people to cite an official news article or stfu shouldn't be where the bar is set going forward if they're talking about a experience they were personally affected by.
Quote from: Gradon
Absolutely ridiculous thread closure, we’ve had threads on industry people taking advantage of other people based on singular tweets before in the past with no closures, how is this any different?
Quote from: Benzychenz
Yeah this is so weird. We’re not allowed to make our own “content” so to speak? If that same OP got copy and pasted to another site we could make a thread about it with a link?

I'm 23 and I've always good healthy looking hair.
But I always knew, deep down, that it was only a matter of time.
My father was already almost bald when he was my age. And that thought always terrified me, so I've always been very vigilant about the state of my hair. When I noticed a little widows peak was forming last year, I started taking medecine to try and slow it down, maybe even stop it.

For months, it seemed I was in the clear, but a couple of days ago, I've noticed that the hair left side of my widows peak got significantly thinner.
I don't know if it's because I haven't cut them in a while but it doesn't really matter, my scalp is starting to show.

I'm doomed.
Goodbye hair and goodbye love life, I'm an old man now.

Racist stereotype in the US; see


We don't actually have the same stereotype here (at least to anything like the same extent) so I think the racist connotations aren't there, as others have pointed out.

It's a nimby thing. And tbh having lived in South London near a load of takeaways I don't blame them, shit is terrible on Saturday and Sunday mornings

I'm honestly confused by the OP, and am not having a go. I have re read the article, what is racist??


Again, not trying to gas light, trying to learn.

American extrapolating racism in their country to other places. UK has their own brands of racism, of which this does not appear to be one.


I foresee some S2 dismissing racism bans as soon as Nepenthe logs on.

So, because it's fried chicken Era assumes it's about Black people?  :hmm

KFC is basically haute cuisine compared with the average london chicken shop.

Americans imposing their racism on other people will never cease to amaze me. Watermelon and fried chicken are not racist symbols anywhere else in the world. In fact, they're just fucking food you Muppets.

There's almost a paradoxical anger to it, as if the world would be better if every country had the same racist stereotypes as the US

Here’s an interesting wee experiment for you Americans. Go to the nearest person and tell them you’re just nipping out to the paki shop. Then report back with the reactions.

Constructive thread then has a bunch of people pop up to essentially WTF at the decision, as nobody has yet informed members that threads are a precious resource that must be conserved:

I'm 23 and I've always good healthy looking hair.
But I always knew, deep down, that it was only a matter of time.
My father was already almost bald when he was my age. And that thought always terrified me, so I've always been very vigilant about the state of my hair. When I noticed a little widows peak was forming last year, I started taking medecine to try and slow it down, maybe even stop it.

For months, it seemed I was in the clear, but a couple of days ago, I've noticed that the hair left side of my widows peak got significantly thinner.
I don't know if it's because I haven't cut them in a while but it doesn't really matter, my scalp is starting to show.

I'm doomed.
Goodbye hair and goodbye love life, I'm an old man now.

NGL, I had a dream my hair was just thinning and it sat with me for days.  But my people don't lose their hair.

Americans imposing their racism on other people will never cease to amaze me. Watermelon and fried chicken are not racist symbols anywhere else in the world. In fact, they're just fucking food you Muppets.

Yes.  The paradox being, "But it's a global world!  Japan-Nintendo should know that a bear punching a National Guard soldier from Kentucky is deeply racist.  Don't they have anyone on staff who is a black historian on the pre-antebellum era?

The world (being global) should cow down to our history and alter their local media.  Wikipedia does exist after all."

Messy conveniently not mentioning that Yahtzee's favourite game is Undertale

Is Undertale problematic now?

undertale allows you to torture and kill lovable characters who we know are diverse, multi-faceted and socialist/leftist leaning

you can kill a lovely goatmom who just wants to bake pies for fuck's sake

it presents both options as some sort of twisted morality system, sUrE gUyS yOu CaN pLaY aS bOtH sIdEs

both sides are equally valid choices in this fucked up universe

it's even worse because normally you would expect more self awareness from furries who are often on the receiving end of such abuse and should understand the importance of picking the only correct side for their content

Undertale's "best" route is unironically centrist as hell by Era's standards.  Self-defense is discouraged, forgiveness trumps all else (even when the people being forgiven are literal child murderers) and one of the sympathetic named characters is a cop which is carried over into the spiritual successor.

Toby Fox has also refused on multiple occasions to clarify his politics.  Not saying what your politics are IS politics from what I hear.

He had gone from loving the MCU to suddenly hating it, loved playstation but started hating Sony and a few other things.

is this allowed?
While in isolation it sounds like an inane thing to point out, going to hate MCU and Sony fits with the slide to alt right talking points when those properties have had more diversity.

MOBA Network maybe said "no libel threads"? -- if people discuss the libel from a news outlet, that's fine, but if that libel is originating on Resetera.com they probably don't like that.

he's imposing wikipedia standards on a fuckin free-for-all random discussion forum :neogaf

So I was real hesitant to start this thread for a number of reasons.

First, Troy Baker has a ridiculous amount of fans here on ERA, and I'm not particularly in the mood to be dogpiled on by fans of Joel/Kanji/Joker/Whoever the fuck you like that believe that the person who portrays the character they like is not capable of wrongdoing.

Second, this is kind of a grey area for some people? Crowdfunding rewards were partially sent out, so if you ordered something digital, you likely got it. If you ordered something physical, well go fuck yourself with something sharp and rusty.

Third, I'm not really here for drive-bys or to be "Well Actually"-ed to death. (i.e. "Crowdfunding LOL" or "Well, actually, you should've filed a chargeback...") Yes, fuck me for believing an extremely well-known artist will fulfill their promises.

And lastly, for any wannabe backseat mods who are hovering over the report button: This thread is in Gaming, not because of the content of the thread (which is primarily music) but because the person the thread is about is primarily known as a video game voice actor (and not the musician he fancies himself to be).

This rancid bullshit which is pretty much "Don't tell me I'm wrong, you just don't know", to his main evidence being his 'experiences' and tweets.

I'll bag on B-Dumbs all day long, I'm against closing threads, and that's a real dumb OP.
