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.

why do these people allow others to define what they are? if they're wrong about you then you scoff at them, they can't change what you feel inside, unless you yourself already don't fully buy into those feelings

if someone said I wasn't a guy I'd shrug because they're clearly wrong

are others clearly wrong about you? then let it roll off your back

Why couldn't they just put the thread on ignore? Oh, that's right. It's not about the game. It's about control.

No one will leave, they're just leveraging the mods to ban the game getting an official thread for reasons I could never possibly comprehend.

People discuss things I don't like in places I visit online all the time and I seem to manage fine by simply ignoring the subjects I don't care for :elon

Let's not kid ourselves. None of these people will leave. Where else can they go that allows them to control a community of thousands through constant bitching and moaning and emotionally-laced threats of leaving if the mods don't capitulate to their demands? They are far too lazy to fuck off and make their own forum, and Discord/Reddit don't have the visibility they crave.

No. They'll stay on ResetERA and throw a bitch-fit until the mods bend the knee (99% likely) or they all get the Ketkat treatment, which is as likely as Nep stop hating white people with every fiber of her being.

I wonder how a RE thread about this would go

https://twitter.com/TheresaCampagna/status/1610363700569059328

Would it be called out for the thinly disguised fetish art it is or would people claim that it's actually extremly transphobic to dislike it

Era should definitely capitulate to the demands of the people who literally never fucking post on the main forum (GAMING, IT IS A GAMING FORUM) about not allowing any discussion of a high profile title that in and of itself will - I can 100% guarantee - not promote any fucking ideology or contain any even vaguely 'problematic' content.

For all the same reasons you should definitely stay with a partner who tells you if you ever leave them they will fucking kill themselves.

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.

Look at this gaslighting bullshit. You had a very small number users say they were buying it or looking forward to it. The rest of thread was either them acknowledging it would be gigantic in sales (is this in dispute) and or lamenting how popular it is. With more than a few of them refusing to refer to it as anything but #1 on the list.

Yet this dingleberry is acting like that thread is the forumified version of Song of the South.

That thread has a growing list of people threatening to leave if it gets an OT, it’s CP2077 all over again the little drama queens gonna stamp their feet until the mods/admins bend the knee.

And yet they will continue to have a thread about Joanne and everything she tweets to signal boost it out to the world, they’re nut jobs.

I just want to say that in this post-Covid, pro-worker workplace movement, I’ve become more of a go-getter, been promoted twice and make about 45k more a year. Yes, I have worked like crazy and it’s been exceedingly challenging but it has also represented a shit ton of personal growth. All at the same company.

I also got banned from Resetera during this time so perhaps there’s a key to success eluding everyone in that thread over there.

There’s so many places to go to and discuss HL. Why does Era need to signal boost it? Why would not signal boosting it be seen as moral judging of Era posters?

Because Ree is supposedly a gaming forum.

And then B-Dumbs makes a post whining about why the site's so toxic a couple days later. Being aware of constant issues and not doing anything about it when you have the--sole--power to do so doesn't make you some "enlightened" leader. It makes you a coward derelict in your duties.

It's the exact same path Evilore went down. He'll bitch about the state of NeoGAF whenever he decided to pop his head out, but never did anything about it until it was too late for him. B-Dumbs going down that same path.

Quote from: Osu 16 Bit, post: 99147247, member: 13426
I don't think banning a thread on the game is a good idea. In my opinion it is not healthy, for either the forum or those asking for it. I feel that the staff policy on not allowing discourse on what topics should be banned was the right move and I hope they stick to it.

I will clarify that I have no interest in JK Rowling or the game. However, to me, being so invested and judging towards our fellow posters who are interested in the game doesn't lead to much good, it contributes to the negative and intimidating vibe here where we often pit poster against poster and assume the worst in people. I can't accept a black and white judgment on somebody still loving Harry Potter when I make compromises on my values for the entertainment that means something to me. We all do, but I think (rightfully) this is one a lot of us take personal and I'd rather the staff stick to the ruling instead of make exceptions which again, is probably not healthy for the site.

Quote from: astro, post: 99147973, member: 3591
It has less to do with judging fellow posters and more to do with making a statement in support of our trans community.

We'll all get over not being able to discuss the game here, it's really a very tiny thing to give up.

Quote from: Yesterzine, post: 99149596, member: 107399
And the fact that some posters, even here can't even make that tiniest of "sacrifices" tells you exactly WHY everyone who does give quarter of a shit and this site needs to take a stand.

Quote from: Jessi77, post: 99167014, member: 25606
I kind of hope you both realize that Osu 16-Bit is Trans and while I don't agree with her she has the right to that opinion we are not a monolith, and it's not a super great look to support trans people by speaking over one.

Quote from: astro, post: 99167440, member: 3591
I didn't know that, but I'm also non-binary so my opinion is just as valid here. While I don't specifcially identify as trans, the TERF and GC rethoric affects me too and I've had countless hate and bile directed at me over the last 5 years including from people who used to be my friends.

I disagree with her, respectfully.

I'll just say it: after how badly this site handled the cyberpunk fiasco and courted transphobes the only acceptable response is to not allow an OT for a game that would support a very obvious transphobe that has a clear and direct impact on the lives of trans people.

The fact that this is still even being debated or "talks are still happening" is frankly a joke when they have years to prepare. Make a fucking statement.

Cyberpunk, the game that was so transphobic Kyuuji had to make up that "beast" is a transgender slur.

It’s gonna be interesting if the wizard game launches and the character creator is inclusive of all identities because nobody will be able to talk about

I wonder which one of the zealots will buy the game for Kyuuji so she can asses the game for herself and let everyone else know how it’s going in the JK OT

I guess he felt like he had to, cause he is a public figure, But it is amazing he did that

Even if this site does have a lean toward supporting minorities and other social causes, a large portion of the site don't actually supprt these things and simply don't speak their mind on social issues to avoid a ban, and use ignore to remove seeing specific posts and threads.

It has less to do with judging fellow posters and more to do with making a statement in support of our trans community.

We'll all get over not being able to discuss the game here, it's really a very tiny thing to give up.

And the fact that some posters, even here can't even make that tiniest of "sacrifices" tells you exactly WHY everyone who does give quarter of a shit and this site needs to take a stand.

I'll just say it: after how badly this site handled the cyberpunk fiasco and courted transphobes the only acceptable response is to not allow an OT for a game that would support a very obvious transphobe that has a clear and direct impact on the lives of trans people.

The fact that this is still even being debated or "talks are still happening" is frankly a joke when they have years to prepare. Make a fucking statement.
lmao you guys are weird

ShutUp

Hope a single named Black character survives the NEXT installment of Last of Us.

Let's try not to go 3 for 3, shall we?

Yeah its not like the lead of the first game was brutally murdered in the first hour of the second game or anything.

It's so weird, suddenly inclusion isn't about about having diverse characters (I almost wrote well written but we know they don't actually care about that) but it's actually about who survives in the end? In a series where characters are more likely to die than live? Funny thing is ND has been so busy scoring points with these kind of loons I wouldn't be surprised if they're now extra careful to not hurt any black characters.

Meanwhile guy bought thing. Turned out to be a waste of money that guy regretted buying.-

feel like an idiot for buying the first psvr and promised myself I would never again own a headset that didn't also work on my pc.so now I have a psvr. And a quest 2 that suits my needs just fine and zero desire to buy this, I'm sure on a technical level it very nice though

Seems reasonable enough.

How absurdly over-wrought was your purchase decision about a bit of plastic and glass that you'd beat yourself up over it like this, for the sake of a feature it clearly never advertised that it had.

Oh.

My mistake. Regardless of what is going on it was unintentional. The article does touch on his identity.

You really gotta double check your posts.

Ezra really stayed out of trouble for a summer and all the execs are like ‘good enough for me’

Uh, does them being Trans mean nothing?  Where is Nepenthe to rank where a black male sits vs. a white trans?  We need her life-truth experience!

We should drop trans people permanently from major movie roles because of accusations, publicly stated mental health issues and a minor criminal charge they haven't been convicted of?

At this point, those people don't even care about making Ezra or whoever comfortable, they're just excited to use their new toy of Force You To Verbalize Ideological Allegiance. It's their version of tying you to an altar and saying "Repent and declare pronouns as your lord and savior, or be killed."

So cool that Sony is now taking these steps.

Ball is in your court, Nintendo. But you need to understand what accessibility is first. For one, it's not insulting your players by letting the game beat itself.
They're echoing the your turn Nintendo line but what's this about games beating themselves?

Some recent Mario games implemented a feature where the game does truly beat itself. You turn on this auto thing where dev prerecorded inputs get you past any part you can't beat, then you can take over again once you're past it. Something like that. I haven't used it, but that's the basic idea, I think.

granted I don't live on the west coast but has anyone here tried talking about they/thems in real life? if you're making an honest effort it's excruciating, you stumble over every sentence and have to parse everything twice in your head, for both the speaker and the listener, you just want the conversation to move on to anything else

on the internet it's easy, even with as much trouble as era seems to have with it...IRL though?

like I actually don't want to be hurtful to anyone, and even want to try to train myself to make it work for potential times when it might matter...it absolutely does not work

I just got back from a friend's house, he's been watching a show with someone who identifies as they/them and was telling me about it. every sentence was halting as he checked himself, three or four times he said "sh--THEY are hilarious." he's the discord head who cares much more about this than I do, and even he can't do it

I'm sorry, sh-they isn't here right now and can't be hurt by your words, and I won't judge you

This almost certainly has to be the point, it's to police conversations when they're not present by enlisting other people to police each other for wrongthink.

A little something to help the staff of ResetERA.com learn about being good allies to their trans members instead of refusing to sacrifice a shred of their privilege in the middle of a genocide:

Met up last night with a random person I met at my part-time job on new years. She seemed a bit shady but I still met her. When we met up she almost immediately recommended a certain bar I never heard of. I said nah, let's go to the cafe first like we agreed lol. She fought me on it for like 5 minutes but agreed. Ordered like the cheapest thing possible while we chatted a bit. Eventually she kept asking to go to the bar and I agreed finally.

Got in, it was pretty damn nice!

But my bs senses were tingling all day so I passed on drinks and food there. When she ordered she ordered a ton of stuff that came in small dishes and I was like "ah, there it is lol" Got my friend to call me pretending to be an angry boss, on speaker phone of course haha. Asked for a beer, and walked outside to talk to "my boss" then just left lol. Peaked at the tab on the counter and said the equivalent of $150 lol.

Hilariously enough I went to an acquaintances place right after nearby and we saw the girl meeting up with a second person like 20 minutes later. Was tempted to warn him... Oh well. Hopefully she didn't get him either. Technically not illegal here but I've heard too many stories like that to not be suspicious and just let it happen.
:hmm

Nobody's going to ask him to explain how they saw this are they? :rage

Also, it'd be funny if he did and that person was her friend instead of a mark.
