Bringing it up now instead of when it was first noticed really punctuates how desperate they are to cancel people.

How many people on Earth know who Shulk from Xenoblade is. How many people know the English voice actor for that character. How many people follow that actor on Twitter. How many people regularly check the likes on that Twitter account. How many of those people care. Why is the answer more than zero.

Ive probably played 400+ hours between all the Xenoblade games released and I had no idea who Shulk's VA was. And even if I did, would have no interest in viewing their twitter.

"This case really is a weird aberration when it comes to a few of the people I follow on social media. They're outspoken, left-wing, progressive feminists who would be right at home with Era's similarly inclusive and progressive atmosphere and opinions, but in this specific case they are full steam ahead on the "Johnny Depp is an abusive monster and it's awful that Amber continues to be subjected to his abuse through the courts" train. Fucks with my head."

- Hung out with society's outcasts including alleged sex workers
- If Mary's chromosomes were XX (there's 6 chromosomal sexes and you can't prove which combination Mary had) then Jesus was the first Trans Man (since Mary would have passed on only her XX genes as God doesn't have a genetic code)
- Gave free healthcare
- Gave out free food

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary Over Transphobia; Thread Derail

Oh wow, didn't think they would do this. Good thing they did, a pleasant surprise.

Yeah? I don't really like this type of censorship.

***************
EDIT: I apologise for using the word "censorship" and essentially derailing the whole thread.
By "this type of censorship" I meant removing problematic content from your game without acknowledging that you have done so or why.
********************

I'd rather they put a message up at the start.

That's only because it's a near perfect recreation of the original version. If they felt like mixing the game up a bit in other ways then by all means cut that offensive shit.

Edit: I should point out I'm in no attached to the transphobic cut content, I'm just commenting on how censorship is handled. I played through the remaster recently and didn't notice any difference.

User Banned (1 Week): Dismissing and antagonizing other members

I'm going to put this as politely as I can: me not leaving my apartment again so that you can walk around without wearing a mask is a greater imposition on me than just wearing the damn mask would be on you

You might be living in a bubble given your situation.

I fly for work 4-6 times a month, and have been since July 2020. For the most part, people do wear masks at all times in airports and on flights, though as others have mentioned, without consistency across society it's only partially effective in the grand scheme of things.

That being said, ever since vaccines have become widely available, society has basically returned to normal, with people still testing when required and giving in to the eventual risk of testing positive. The majority of anyone I've talked to takes the stance of "what's the point of everything we did, and the vaccines, if we can't try to begin to live with it like we do with the other risks in our lives?"

I understand that this does nothing for those who are immunocompromised, but the hard truth, in my observations across the country is this: there will NEVER not be a risk at this point. We've let it spread so far and wide, that there is no hope to contain it.

Yelling on the internet how simple it is to wear a mask is divorced from the reality that exists right now: people are going to do what they're going to do. That's the reality and it's not going to change. People in here are just acknowledging the reality of that situation, and dealing with it in their own ways.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Posting COVID Misinformation and Dismissing Concerns of Immunocompromised Individuals; History of Similar Behavior

Covid isn’t scary anymore. You get sick, it sucks for a couple days, you get better. Pretty much everyone I know has gotten omicron and it’s the same. I haven’t known of anyone to die from it since before vaccines. So all the restrictions and precautions just feel like a lot of extra effort for nothing. You get sick anyway, you recover anyway. At least for most of the healthy population. So it’s not just Covid deniers that are against masks and restrictions. It just isn’t really serving a purpose anymore.

You can argue that’s selfish, and I do kind of agree to an extent, but we’re unwilling to change our lives permanently, so that’s where we are.

Yea this is Resetera in a nutshell.  If someone uses pronouns that are different from the standard he/she we must treat them with kid gloves even if they are a violent misogynist.  Someone even said Trans rights are human rights when that has absolutely nothing to do with Ezra Miller, they aren’t even trans.  Not that that matters, it’s us against them, nevermind that the definitions for us and them change on a daily basis depending on their last tweet or Instagram post.

Kyuuji

Highlighting the use of correct pronouns in this case is odd because it seems to imply trans and non-binary identities being valid is contingent on good behaviour.

Absolutely not. I just take umbrage to the generalized reverence celebs enjoy here ( with presumed mental illness as first line of defense for all violent acts ) while ignoring the plight of victims who have less privilege, money and PR to fight back.

I used pronouns to highlight the default level of respect(and background knowledge) celebs enjoy as opposed to their victims.

Misgendering criminals as an insult is lowbrow and puerile. That would be stooping to neogaf/4chan standards. We can maybe start with not make excuses for them and just call out slapping and throwing chairs for the abuse of privilege it is.

lets be honest here. most people who go all in on gendering and sexuality and are offended unlike others who are chill are almost all suffering from mental illness. in a society where to be trans and non-binary is the most acceptable in history, their mental illness or depression has not subsided, they are still sad, they are still depressed despite their circle of friends and socially accepting being the largest in history. they are more accepted than Jews, Muslims, brown people and black and frankly biologicaly women people especially in western society yet they are the ones who are still suffering with most mental issues. this seems to suggest bigotry is not the cause of their mental state, it is because they are mentally unstable to begin with. If bigotry resulted in en masse mental issues then the black people would be the biggest case study. they are not. neither are the muslims or brown people.

Once people realize it, they will realize why mental illness is more evidence in some groups and not more in others and then we will stop enabling by coddling these folks to their needs and starting treating with compassion, without ridicule and politicization

Oh hey that's a response to my post.

There's just no replying to moderation there. In my head thinking poisoned what well? They're acting like this is some sort of monolithic struggle for equality and if we don't just blindly trust accusations that somehow we're enablers. I was just thinking that gee you should have evidence to back up an accusation. Listen to the accusations but follow through with evidence. This back drama of gamer gate reminds me of pizza gate and frothing at the mouth Benghazi rants. 99% of the world isn't in this weird bubble, nor should our justice system.

[benjipwns]

If Nepenthe would pay me for my emotional labor I'd sketch out a game for her where a seemingly utopian future Rio de Janeiro city-state with less yts was depicted and no conflict at all occurred and you simply go around looking at beautifully rendered assets.

Then the big reveal is that it's like the Edo but the penalty for death is for crimes like trading with another person or choosing your own career path or pursuing other interests the community does not approve of. You know, how the societies who have done what she wants operated.

[benjipwns]

Why so? The structures that surround us right now have only really been in place for around 400 years or so, while humanity has been around for about 10,000 years. Industrialization and capitalism as perpetuated by Europe and the United States are just a few sentences in the book of our history, and honestly I would argue that it is a precedent that runs antithetical to the way we, as a biological species, are primed to even function. Social media information overload, the stress and unfulfilling nature of work, the rampant exploitation of different countries, our awful policing systems, the fact that our planet is on fire, all of the mental health anguish that has come with this and more- so much is so fundamentally wrong and so many people from top to bottom are suffering that I just don't simply believe that the power structures in place right now deserve the respect of being called endemic to who we are as human beings.

A stupid person who does not know what they do not know doing an impression of a smart person.

Also illustrated in this part of her OP where she assumes the conclusion of her premises:

The downfall of capitalist societies, not just in games but in media, is always portrayed in this gritty, survivalist, barbaric vain, and it chafes my current conscious beliefs that honestly we'd be better without the whole dang rot of it all. But even before we get to that apocalyptic step where everything's gone to shit, when people want to simply change existing structures before it comes crashing down, even self-proclaimed allies will insist on useless reformations that don't address the root causes of the problems or naively sidestep them.

Futhermore:

As far as I can see, major societal shifts and lots of deaths are coming up due to the sheer inertia by the Global North to stop being a fucking shitbird with regards to resource allocation and management. I would rather believe in the outcome of a world that is more equitable, communal, and resourceful, than to put stock in the reigning belief that white capitalists are actually right, and that the masses are ultimately evil barbarians without Netflix and police to keep them in line.
