Other Forums Containment Thread

[ShutUp]

Kyuuji being in that thread going on her little rant against Rowling after playing Cyberpunk to completion more than once. Fuck all the way off you colossal hypocrite 

I think certain posters are using this thread as a loophole to praise and talk about the game , which is unfortunate.

Talking about a video game on a video game message board, good lord THE HORROR!

The only ones who kept talking incessantly about Hogwarts are the losers upset it’s the most anticipated. But this is also a good look at sales thread for the rest of the year after it tops the charts each month and stays in the top 5 most of the year.

This thread has become about nothing but Hogwarts. Since we don't allow threads about Hogwarts at the moment, it is locked to further discussion.

75 million a year when you’re 37 and washed is an L?

Give me all the Ls in the world then.

This is gross.

Don't kid yourself, people would sell themselves out here for significantly less.

I mean what did the founders here sell out?

Given that you clearly don't understand the topic that you're discussing, I would really suggest looking into what makes this specific deal problematic so that you can come to the realization that comparing it to ResetEra being sold is absolutely ridiculous.

hey ninja dog, here is a pink ribbon of shame because playing on easy is like being a Women

I'm really glad I haven't run into anything like that recently.

This is a bit of a mischaracterization of the mode iirc. Ayane helps Ryu out after he dies a bunch, unlocking Ninja Dog difficulty, and giving Ryu access to her several ribbons throughout the game. The ribbons are many different colors, not just pink, and iirc are functionally the same as accessories you get in higher difficulties but you just get them earlier with less difficulty. They're optional to equip and provide additional benefits to the player above and beyond the already lower difficulty. Think it works differently in Sigma and Black so maybe there's a difference.

Honestly aside from the name, Ninja Dog is like...the opposite of this thread topic. You get the whole game content wise if you so wish including the final boss and whatnot on a much easier difficulty.

The actual ninja dog mode itself is good. It is a great set of changes to help the player succeed. But the tone is not good. It makes fun of the player, and abuses toxic masculinity to attempt to shame the player by giving them flowing ribbons and making the Girl Ninja their new master. This is, of course, very stupid: none of these things are actually shameful. But the intent is pretty clear if you examine it from a normal dudebro perspective. And the intent is what I take issue with.

I absolutely interpreted it as the game making fun of you for playing on "ninja dog", and I laughed. You also don't get all the content because if irc it skips some of the first part of the game.

[ShutUp]

Shutting the site down for a day because of a video game coming out would get these lunatics laughed off any other board. But I can also absolutely see the mods bending the knee yet again to one community and it actually happening because they are that cowardly.

JK Rowling has some opinions they don't like and there's a videogame being released? SHUT DOWN THE SIDE

White supremacy is the reason why Letitia Wright can walk into a Burger King with a ruger ar-556 with custom silent-sr ISB and a couple of smoke grenades, pull out her phone, and start tweeting out anti-trans stuff, which encourages death squads to kill trans people, to the extent that they need guns to protect themselves.   It's sad what the whites are doing.

how many people on era have ever played GTAV, with its actual transphobia, homophobia, racism, ablism, ageism, "both sides" denigration of the right and the left, etc.?  or if they haven't played GTAV, at least supported Rockstar in some way, like buying Red Dead?

no work of Rowling's has ever had anything as openly, overtly bad as GTA, even earlier ones that era tykes grew up on like 3, VC, SA

how many of them have given money to the Dragon Quest franchise with its war crime denying composer

how many have given money to the Final Fantasy franchise which normalizes sexual assault

[Nintex]

How do we even know Hogwarts Legacy is going to be a succes anyway.

The game could review bad and totally bomb, be overshadowed by Tears of the Kingdom, release as a buggy mess or check all 3 boxes.
It could also just be a mediocre by the numbers licensed 7/10 game

The EA Harry Potter games didn't exactly set the world on fire and those games were released when Harry Potter was at the peak of its popularity.

This game is made by Avalanche and published by Warner Bros. creators of hit games like Cars 3: Driven to Win, Disney Infinity and Gotham Knights.

Is Dubs in some kind of competition with Nep?

There are a growing number of folks who do it to protect the most vulnerable among us and I can't say they are wrong or that I blame them.

Bullshit. Seriously, I'm tired of people on the left trying to justify this shit when it so obviously costs people lives.

This is a bullshit excuse.

Bullshit excuse for what exactly?

It's not bullshit that many vulnerable folks are arming up because of the very real threat of violence against them. More of my Queer friends are arming up than ever before especially since many are BIPOC. Armed Queer folks showed up here to stop alt-right pieces of shit from hurting folks at a drag show recently. If they hadn't show up, the alt-right would have become violent.

Guns aren't going away anytime soon and if vulnerable folks, that are under threat of violence, are arming themselves, I'm not going to tut-tut that. You can if you wish. I refuse to tell the oppressed that they can't resist. Another one of the many reasons Queer folks know that we are on own.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun, but from the left. That's literally the argument. It's either a crap argument or it isn't.

The odds of anyone carrying a gun coming across a mass shooting is a million to one, and from there it's a million to one that they're in a position to stop it. It's a so completely unlikely that we regularly mock rightwing assholes for the exact same logic. It's not going to happen. Sure YOU might feel better, but what about everyone around you? You'll just be freaking them out because a bystander can't tell the difference between an asshole looking to do a mass shooting and someone looking to stop one. Wanna know why? Because there's no difference until they start shooting.

It's the exact same logic that is used to justify our current predicament. Only from the left.

And as someone who has had to be evacuated from a building as a result of a mass shooter, who has been in more school lockdowns than you have fingers, who was damn near shot through a wall, I am so tired of people justifying their crap. Having a gun makes you feel better, it's fine to admit that, but don't pretend it's anything other than that. And don't pretend you're doing it for other people. I can respect honesty, I refuse to respect bullshit.

Then what should a trans person do especially in state with lax gun laws and even more of a threat to their well-being?

Just because they're using faulty logic that literally mirrors the logic that got us here in the first place doesn't mean we have to go "well, nothing we can do about it"

But that still leaves my question unanswered. What should that trans person do?

You are literally buying into the exact same rhetoric that conservatives use to justify the status quo.

Are you going to say what the alternative actually is or are you going to keep tut-tutting trans ppl and pocs who are actually under threat here? Like how anybody here could look at the two groups of people trying to get guns and honestly think there's so little difference to be immaterial blows my fucking mind.

Dubs suddenly vanishes.

What Bdumbs should be saying, but doesn't have the balls, is that since trans people suffer higher levels of mental illness, there should be much more scrutiny on them owning guns in the first place.

Fuck Rowling and anyone who buys Hogwarts Legacy. Know that the money you paying will actively go into harming people.

So not to rock the boat here. But realistically I’m not really sure why that’s the case? She has an inordinate amount of wealth already, I feel like any boat to use to stifle her voice is long gone because we didn’t know until very recently in relevant terms her views, she’s made her vast fortune already. Buying the game doesn’t make her less or more vocal about her shitty opinions on trans people. You’re more supporting Avalanche and WB’s investment than anything. If you have a bone to pick with Avalanche or WB for their actions or views that is prescient. Also, it’s not like Harry Potter has anti trans or LGBT content in it directly anywhere? I dislike her views a lot, but I really don’t see how anything we could do by playing it or not would change anything she’s done recently or during the past few year with her platform other than symbolically?

I understand the rage, but when it becomes basically unhinged from actual outcome based on idealism, I question that it isn’t purely just chest pounding.

No need to apologise. If it means anything, I don't think it was you that got that thread locked.

It had become a loophole for talking about HL for quite a few pages at that point.

And unlike many, you actually engaged and showed interest in learning just how bad JK Rowling's behaviour towards the trans community actually is, despite not knowing beforehand. Which, in my books, means a lot.

I didn’t really realize her level of involvement with meaningful hate movements. I messaged Kyuuji and said something similiar as to what I posted here as I understandably could be banned or temp banned for derailing etc and wanted to acknowledge the posts. I think I referenced Rowling in the context to what I had knowledge about from probably years back at this point. That I had thought she was just a “rancid shit poster” so to speak. I have a generally nihilistic trending sometimes into pessimistic view on what kind of weight a decision like voting with my wallet in case like this because of how much money and clout she already has. Which I guess was my kind of failed discussion point. But also I was just a bit shocked I think, given my dirth of knowledge, by the really strong positions in that thread when I came in. She is those things, but it definitely seems like it’s moved far beyond just being a shitty person with poor views on Twitter.

I will never understand the terf game being so much anticipated.

From the devs of mostly bad disney shovelware, comes a game with a super weird (to not say borderline nazi) plot that looks super generic, was delayed weirdly some times and has basic content locked in deluxe editions.

nostalgia is a powerfull drug, i guess

It was delayed because of COVID, how is that weird? I think the other delay was to move it into a free window in the schedule, also not weird. It's the biggest game ever in a multi-billion dollar franchise and isn't a movie-recreation like the prior games, you think they aren't going to delay this to give it time to bake and scare off the competition?

It's a real shame someone didn't pop him in the head and claim Stand Your Ground.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-heavily-armed-man-caused-panic-at-a-supermarket-but-did-he-break-the-law.671269/post-99063040

You can't shoot someone and "claim Stand Your Ground" just because you falsely believed this about a near decade old case where you didn't bother to learn anything about it. "Stand Your Ground" isn't a defense claim it's a procedure the state does in self-defense cases. All it does is mean the police are encouraged to not arrest in self-defense cases if it sounds like a valid defense to them rather than arresting you and throwing you in jail until you're found not guilty of murder. (Sounds progressive!) Outright murdering someone who is following the law obviously would not meet this standard.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-heavily-armed-man-caused-panic-at-a-supermarket-but-did-he-break-the-law.671269/page-3

Fear underpins a lot of white supremacist thinking that feeds back into conservative "thought." For centuries there's always been the understated fear of Black revolt, whether it's been the actual uprisings by slaves, with and without white indentured servants joining in solidarity, myths of Black men being brutish things who want to steal away white women, Black and Brown gang violence somehow making its way to the gated white suburbs, and so on. Police killings of Black men and the military industrial complex are, in part, extensions of this fear, which is why white people act so fucking confused when the police are forced to turn their violence around on them.

I think she just strings words together because nobody will dare call out her absurdity.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-heavily-armed-man-caused-panic-at-a-supermarket-but-did-he-break-the-law.671269/page-2#post-99069460

So why isn't carrying that many weapons and body armor tantamount to yelling fire in a theater?

NepNep

Because we live in a country held hostage by white conservatives who have convinced themselves for one reason or another that everything around them is a threat, and thus the broadest interpretations of the second amendment are necessary to assuage their delusions, or as they say "keep the country safe." It absolutely should be illegal to even possess half of the shit he had on him, much less flaunt it around in public, but because of white supremacy it isn't.

Who gives a shit if he broke the law? US law is fucking stupid.

NepNep

I personally feel like Black people should not be punished extrajudicially.

No, it's because "yelling fire in a theater" is a century old metaphor used to justify the imprisoning of anti-slavery, anti-war, anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism protesters. It's not an actual exception to the First Amendment (especially not anymore) so the state cannot arrest someone for not violating the law in the United States. (You fucking cops.) I have no idea what Nepenthe's nonsense is about but she seems to also think we should go back to a (not even then) standard that allows the criminalization of non-majority expression as read by the state and police which would allow them to arrest anyone who upsets them and the white supremacists she believes control them. Yet you're all considering yourself progressive as you demand a police state.

The odds of anyone carrying a gun coming across a mass shooting is a million to one, and from there it's a million to one that they're in a position to stop it. It's a so completely unlikely that we regularly mock rightwing assholes for the exact same logic. It's not going to happen. Sure YOU might feel better, but what about everyone around you?

This would make sense except for the part where mass shooters don't intend to follow the law in the first place. Weird how you're focused on how allowing freedom where nobody is harmed is what got us to our "current predicament" and the basis of logic "that got us here" that you're absurdly paranoid about (even as you just outlined the near impossible probability of being in such an event) while ignoring that laws against mass murder have never been changed.

Not to take away from this issue but that is what Indianapolis does when the KKK has their yearly downtown march. They have Race Unity Day and activities and celebrations focused on the exact opposite message while giving the march itself no publicity or anything else. And it has worked, because unless you live there no one knows it happens (obviously it's a tragedy that it's still happening, but the ability to cause fear and whatnot is minimized).

Not giving it publicly is definitely the correct choice, but keeping it going with other positive forms of engagement is great. I actually like the idea of celebrating trans positive characters/titles in gaming, for what little my opinion matters. I and other people might have missed out on a good title or two.

And everyone will be flowing into the Hogwarts thread constantly keeping it bumped and popular while the celebratory threads get lost in the everyday shuffle. You can’t give Rowling’s game lifeblood because reams of people WANT to live in that fascist asshole’s fantasy and they’ll make it a Goodyear blimp if you give them the chance.

There's a particular irony to arguing for the use of official local monopoly force to snuff out popular (or any) speech to deny "lifeblood" to a "fascist asshole's fantasy" considering, well, you know... how the fascist assholes historically treated speech outside their utopian fantasies about national unity in the forums they oversaw.

It's also misleading people in that thread already, judges imposing sentences is the normal thing but posters in that thread are calling it insane/suspicious and thinking this is an exception somehow. The higher standard for death penalty cases is the exception (which if you read the only quoted paragraph properly you'd understand) not the norm in any instance but select death penalty cases in select locations.

Juries decide verdicts, they are not expected to know sentencing laws and guidelines. The restriction being mentioned here is a limitation on judges, the jury "agreed" the guy was guilty they were never asked if he deserved the death penalty.

As someone against the death penalty in all cases I am constantly vexed by other (usually selective) opponents of it resorting to awful, illogical and irrational arguments against it. This has led me to decide there needs to be the death penalty for them and only them.

Is the mod implying that this is happening because the prisoner is transgender? Though maybe one should also look at the crime they're convicted of...

Several weeks later, while the order was in effect, McLaughlin waited for Guenther outside the victim’s workplace, court records say. McLaughlin repeatedly stabbed and raped Guenther, prosecutors argued at trial, pointing in part to blood spatters in the parking lot and in Guenther’s truck.

Well, I do agree that the only reason they were arrested was Joanne's hate. If this was a cishet white male the cops would have said it was fine. And probably given him an award and key to the city.

Or a cloak and a wand, as the case would be.

There's a reason the KKK has GRAND WIZARDS!!!

Well, wasn't expecting blatant racism when I entered the thread but here we are.

Racism towards whom do you reckon out of curiosity. Seeing you on this forum often you get bent out of shape too often.Can understand when its about something serious like racism but for even movie opinions you are always ready to argue for no reason. Learn to chill out maybe?

Myself as a POC I never really got too hot and bothered over castings. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont.Obviously I dont mind race swaps( would be weird since im not even white).See my profile pic too(clue there for you!). At the same time I dont honestly care if white characters stay white. Like I said discussions get charged for no reason and a bit bothersome over characters that have always been white.

ZeoVGM continues to be a big soppy fanny. Such an insufferable twat. Love seeing him get dragged.

You can guarantee if you write anything mildly criticising Marvel or Disney your notifications will light up with him replying to you.

This post is also funny

Pretty boring pick. Points for inverting the typical Hollywood romance though.

Aaron Johnson began a relationship with director Sam Taylor-Wood, after meeting on the 2009 set of the film Nowhere Boy when he was 18 and she was 42.

Like why would you give a fuck? Or if you care so much about age differences wouldn't you then also have to be upset by this?

Well, wasn't expecting blatant racism when I entered the thread but here we are.

For the record, the "blatant racism" is saying James Bond is a "white character" in response to someone whining that the actor is white and also bashing that hilarious gaming side thread where Nepenthe explained that white people are inherently boring because of their skin color:

He’s solid enough but do we seriously need another white bond.

I don't get this line of thinking tbh.Hes a white character.eh.

I just think its weird tbh. Like obviously I'm not saying they cant be. Upto the creators. But again it happened with Cal kestis when it seems threads became whining about him being white bread boring or whatever. Gets a bit tiring after a while.

I imagine whoever they choose will be a relative newcomer.

I don't buy the interest in the Bridgerton guy(though I never did watch it.. and basing off The Gray Man may be unfair to him).

[Nintex]

Why do they all stick with Idris when John Davis Washington would be perfect as Bond.

[benjipwns]

Response threads are good actually when used against the TERF BITCH:

Rather than trying to figure out how to thread the needle of "making an informative thread covering the topic" and "not encouraging anyone to buy the game" (I'm not convinced this is possible, it would only elevate discussion), I think a better move would be to make a/some adjacent threads that are clearly *in response* to the game, but not directly about it.
"LTTP: A game about a different magical school"
"Top five videogames that are trans positive"
"You know what I really like about *my favourite game*? No underbaked villainous goblin rebellions"
Not to say gaming side should be flooded with threads because that would be annoying, but something like that. While keeping discussion of the TERF game banned.

The closer we get to the release of the game, the more I hope we don't have a thread at all about the game.

If there is one, I think I'll probably be done here. It would be an insult.

Doesn't have the balls to post his own opinion on whether she was a Nazi bitch who should burn in hell. Or a victim of abuse. Hopefully Nep and Vagina will clear things up.

Imagine accidentally stopping someone’s heart and putting them in the hospital for.. what good reason, exactly? Fame? Money? The love of the game?

I hate violent sports.

anywho, Eatchildren defused that hand grenade with his first post, unless someone comes in to say: "this is fucking sad and tragic, but"

Adding my voice to the pile. If there’s an OT celebrating and allowing discussion of the game Im gone. That other thread was absolutely disgusting. People frothing at the mouth to talk about how “great” the game will be and gloat about how much it’s going to sell. I consider every purchase of the game a direct admission of bigotry and transphobia so gaming side pretty much just told me I’m not a woman and I don’t belong here. I don’t really post here that often but seeing all the joy in the trans lounge thread does give me hope for the future and I can’t help but smile whenever I see a poster with a trans avatar. Unfortunately I cannot remain active on a site which actively promotes the work of the face of a group of bigots that want to delete people like me from society.

I use this site all the time and it's basically the only place I can go for decent video game discussion, but I'll leave without a second thought if the terf wizard game gets an OT that isn't just a single post listing all the horrible shit JKR has done and continues to do.
