The CDPR shit is the same as Joanne and so much else. Someone tries to meet your standards but falls short or has some reservations but otherwise is completely on board. They're the ones who get targeted for the actual worst treatment. All those who literally do hate trans people, the type of person who might actually be up for a genocide, etc. who cares, they won't listen but if we tar these people who fall short in meeting our literally impossible standards they might grovel and apologize and even if they don't others will fall in line.
It's not just trans stuff, this is like the entire basis for the "social justice" movement. In Joanne's case it's fine because she's rich, in CDPR or any other developers case it's fine because they already got paid and the chuds will support them, for anyone weak it's either fine because they're not famous anyway until the mob chased them down or it's fine because they learned to do better. And if we need to completely lie about it like spreading the lie that Joanne funds every anti-trans group? That's justified because we're fighting the ideas and the people are just the collateral damage.
Joe Rogan is the same shit, crossover audience, broad support among lefties like Bernie, a few non-PC opinions and FUCK HIM AND ANYONE WHO MIGHT LISTEN TO HIM YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR YOU'RE AGAINST US. There's how many popular actually alt-right podcasters out there? How many popular frauds who spread scientific misinformation? These aren't fun targets! But Joe Rogan has enough crossover cache and enough people in his audience who might be swayed by you screaming at them to FUCK JOE ROGAN that you might be able to pick off a few people by shaming them into dropping a podcast they like. Or you might feel really good about having your video game forum completely ban any mention of him that's not negative even if you don't put this anywhere in your rules and just expect people to know.
AND ANOTHER THING, that last part, I don't think ResetERA.com does this deliberately I think they're incompetent, but that's a huge part of this shit. When you can filter people out by their language with the standards changing constantly, by what they admit to enjoying or listening to or whatever, by them not knowing what's a "banned source" or not, it empowers everyone in the in-group (or at least those who know better than to ever step without looking for the in-group's opinion first) to maintain the borders of the in-group. You like Joe Rogan huh? Not part of the in-group. Won't burn your Harry Potter books? Not part of the in-group. Didn't know this completely random YouTuber was cancelled held accountable? Not part of the in-group. And if you're not part of the in-group? FFUUUUCCCCKKKK OOFOFOOOOFFFFFFFFF
