My honest perspective is I don’t really care. Are you doing nice things for trans people or the trans community? That matters more to me than whether or not you play a pirated video game that’s Harry Potter related. Not playing the game doesn’t make trans people’s lives better.

This is a better, more blunt way of explaining my perspective on all this.

It’s treating it like a cartoonish scenario or thought exercise or something. Who gives a fuck about empty “solidarity” or if someone on Era is side eyeing you? There’s not an ally card we’re going to take away or a good person status to revoke.

Agreed on all counts. It's extremely disheartening to see all the people even on Era who are now happily praising Cyberpunk and completely ignoring CDPR's very open and obvious DOCUMENTED transphobia just because the game is sort of good now.

I’m sorry, what is this openly documented proof of CDPR transphobia? And if it’s that bad then why do they still have Witcher threads? You can’t just go making shit up.

I think this is because the issue with CDPR is an entirely different beast than the issue with J.K. Rowling.

Cyberpunk’s transphobia issues are undeniable and should be called out. It’s clear that the company contains some transphobic individuals.

But at the end of the day…CDPR is still a for-profit company. They’re not a political organization. They don’t have any other goal other than to make games and make money from those games.

IN THIS CASE, separating the art from the artist I’d argue is generally acceptable for those who are willing to do so. Mainly because there are so many artists at CDPR and so many different elements to Cyberpunk that calling out the bad ones can still be done, while still enjoying the good stuff. That and when it comes to company executives at the top, there’s a general detachment one can apply when it comes to a product released by a company. I.e., the transphobic individual may have had a hand in the production of the game or worked at the company, but the entire game certainly isn’t influenced by that individual.

So with this in mind, I think buying and playing Cyberpunk is totally fine, so long as one doesn’t downplay or hand-wave away the issues.

Like, even James Stephanie Sterling in one of their recent Twitch streams, while not denying the issues in the depiction of Trans people in the game, has expressed interest in playing Cyberpunk again now that all the nonsense surrounding its release has died down. The VOD where they say this should still up at the time of this post, if you can find it.

Now, J.K. Rowling on the other hand, is the sole individual so intrinsically connected with the Harry Potter property that separating the art from the artist in this case is near-impossible. Hogwarts Legacy is J.K. Rowling’s world. Every Harry Potter product ever made, no matter how far removed she may be from any particular project, is still under her influence from her writing in the books. She uses Harry Potter’s success to prop-herself up and give credulence to her beliefs.

Say what you will about CDPR, they’re not actively using Cyberpunk or The Witcher to give legitimacy to hate movements in Poland. That, I think, is the fundamental difference that separates them from J.K. Rowling.

Expect they have been called out to the point they fired the guy who was posting the Twitter account.

This reminds me of catching a tv report about CDPR and cyberpunk. At one point they brought up the backlash towards the trans characters. For a moment I wondered if they'd really bring up the RE talking points but turns out they talked about the much more obvious backlash of transhphobes being mad that there's trans characters. The devs then talked about how they expected this reaction but still thought it was the right thing to do. And all of this coming from a company based in the highly anti-lgbt Poland.

It's still amazing how RE gaslighted themselves into thinking the game is some anti-trans manifesto

https://www.resetera.com/threads/bella-ramsey-ellie-in-the-last-of-us-comes-out-as-gender-fluid.675319/#post-99649747

so whats their pronouns?

If you don’t know a persona’s gender, you default to they/them right.

You’re making it harder, just to be a jerk.

I didnt even associate a gender with them, wtf are you talking about?

I’m responding to you?

Say someone says the employee messed up a order, then you just simply say “they messed up the order.”

Why take a step and pause when some says they’re gender fluid.

Defaulting to they/them is fine but so is asking what someone's pronouns are? I don't really see what you're seeing in that post.
"gender fluid" can mean a lot of different things to different people

Asking about someone’s preferred pronouns does not make them a jerk, if anything it show’s consideration of their feelings.

Im seeing someone make someone else’s gender identity about themselves.

The information was provided to them, they made a point to state they don’t understand.

She also makes it sound a bit like this is just some exciting curiosity and not really identity defining

Just to confuse y'all. I know a gender fluid person  who hates being referred to as they/them, haha. His preference is 'he' or 'she', she doesn't mind either.

So while using they/them is the best way before you are aware which pronouns to use in general, you should always ask to make sure if you can.

In the case of a celebrity who has told us they'ew gender-fluid/non-binary and not stated their preferences, I would personally use they/them until clarified.

In this instance, Bella says she doesn't care which pronoun peope use. I also know people like this, just use any until you're informed otherwise.

You see gender is something so locked in it can completely overwrite your entirely biological body but at the same time gender is also completely made up anyway and can change from day to day depending on what pronoun you currently like more. What's there not to get?

isn't this problematic?

assholes who don't want to recognize her gender fluidity will just continue to call her "she," yet she's provided them the cover of saying that's ok

everyone including the media will just keep calling her "she" rather than alternating, because reinforcing the norm is more comfortable and important than recognizing her status in a minority group

and she says she's ok with this, completely denying the experience of everyone out there who has to struggle to get their pronouns recognized

it's like every girl out there who's like "tee hee I'm bi," wanting to be cute but not fully committing to the cause

With all the debate around this term, something has been lost: how LGBTQ+ individuals in these nations and of these descents feel about it. This isn't a discussion for cis people, it's not a discussion for white people or anyone who isn't a part of the community that is having this discussion. By stepping into this, we trample the feelings and opinions of those who are most affected.

What Governor Huckabee-Sanders has done is exactly that. She has inserted herself into the discussion, seeking to use it as a political football, using it as a wedge issue to gain more power for herself, instead of elevating the voices of those who are most affected.

A lot of people in this thread are also trampling over the feelings and opinions of those affected, of those who should be having this conversation. We insert ourselves here, to argue and yell over the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals of Hispanic and Latin descent. This is not what we should be doing.

Let us leave you with one question to answer: When was the last time you spoke to someone who was directly affected by all of this and asked them what they thought? How closely did you listen to what they told you?

I have a feeling if we listened more, and spoke less, these threads might go a little better.

And yet Excel has to make it about Indian Boarding Houses.  Does she not realize how offensive that is to real actual Native people?  I'm just waiting for Nepenthe to say Avatar is actually about a trans expedience she had at the zoo.

The reason the myers Briggs test is pseudo is because people’s personalities are not 100% consistent. The way the test is answered can be different depending on how the person is feeling that day. Because people aren’t just one type of personality it’s more fluid than that.

The price is the problem not the games

It's too good for what you get right? I agree.


In all seriousness, can we please stop this nonsense that the price is too high? Like what are we talking about? You're probably writing this from your 1000$ phone, wearing 200$ shoes coming fresh out of your 500$ weekend vacation, going back on to your 1500$ gaming PC in a couple of minutes, or something like this.
For the technology you get this is an incredible price and I'm really tired of this argument when so much around one cost fortunes and it's basically alright and accepted.

If someone has real interest in VR you get the best of the best here, a really state of the art product and I'm so glad they went this way and don't offer a cheap budget dollar store version just because it could reach more people.
As a "base" product that's supposed to be the "base" for all the software in the next 5+ years, you have to go all out and it's absolutely ok, it's the base that serves for so many games in the future, if that doesn't get your money's worth than I don't what else I could tell you. Going cheap here is basically saving money on the wrong end.

What a weird comparison for a need over a want.  Going cheap is apparently wrong.

But like always, the sensation of trying to support something because they made a cynical race swap to get press while distracting about actual quality:

this show seems bad and everything i see and hear about it makes my eyes roll into the back of my head, but also i can't trust any randos i see bashing it because of the incredibly high chance they just hate women or something lmao.

Haven't seen it myself yet, but it always sucks when something isn't apparently good, that also has been in the crossfire of chuds for months, cause they are getting even more insufferable then.

I think the more relevant aspect here is that the site is a haven for fake rumours that only idiots still believe. But ignoring that... so, if theoretically they had real news, you wouldn't be able to talk about them, because they weren't reported by someone you like?

Gee, I wonder which mod’s pet dipshit was hammering the report button in this one

I wonder what people who prefer Latinx and are from the respective communities and countries, of which there have been many in the years this forum has hosted topics on the subject, feel about seeing people post "it's a stupid word" over and over.

I know a lot of Latin people and speak to them every day. They ALL think it's stupid and insulting. Especially the lefties.

While the basic idea behind the thread is not objectionable, the idea that the characters have similarities is valid, we have determined that the OP intentionally chose blatantly sexualized images to make their point. This makes the thread look like nothing more than an excuse for the OP to post sexualized images of these characters. It also doesn't help they have a history of trolling and other similar behavior.

So as not to make women members feel unwelcome we're locking the thread and banning the OP given their history.

That BAC from forum post tech really evolved.

Absurdity of the ban aside, when did this become a thing?

women members

Is he so terrified of saying female? Imagine saying "men members"

[Averon]

These incels can't ever handle a woman showing a bit of skin. And yet they swear oh so much how they aren't puritanical prudes. They need to stop lying to themselves and admit they are sex negative, especially when it comes to male heterosexuality. They aren't nearly as strict as this when it comes to gay, lesbian, and female heterosexuality.

I dun get it, they were hyped for Velma, even giggled that right wing chuds would be angry yet here they are.

They thought the show was going to be full progressive and not making both sides jokes. Normies seem to find the show unfunny to even do small comments and right wingers chuds are so clueless that they think Norville is not supposed to be Shaggy because never heard when past shows used it (is his OG name).

Also, it sounds like the whole cast is extremely unlikeable.

I swapped out incelciorlef for excelsheets because yours was too good for my point

I have wondered if this should be dropped considering her obsession with the forthcoming incel uprising has seemed to have ceased as Twitter moved on.

With all the debate around this term, something has been lost: how LGBTQ+ individuals in these nations and of these descents feel about it. This isn't a discussion for cis people, it's not a discussion for white people or anyone who isn't a part of the community that is having this discussion. By stepping into this, we trample the feelings and opinions of those who are most affected.

What Governor Huckabee-Sanders has done is exactly that. She has inserted herself into the discussion, seeking to use it as a political football, using it as a wedge issue to gain more power for herself, instead of elevating the voices of those who are most affected.

A lot of people in this thread are also trampling over the feelings and opinions of those affected, of those who should be having this conversation. We insert ourselves here, to argue and yell over the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals of Hispanic and Latin descent. This is not what we should be doing.

Let us leave you with one question to answer: When was the last time you spoke to someone who was directly affected by all of this and asked them what they thought? How closely did you listen to what they told you?

I have a feeling if we listened more, and spoke less, these threads might go a little better.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/arkansas-gov-sarah-huckabee-sanders-bans-latinx-from-government-documents-to-respect-the-latino-community.675259/page-3

Is B-Dubs LGBTQ Latinx? So why should I listen to him over LGBTQ Latinx people about whether or not I should listen to LGBTQ Latinx people about who can decide if we say Latinx? If Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets permission from all the LGBTQ Latinx people in Arkansas can she eliminate Latinx from appearing on government documents? Or is this something we have to leave up to LGBTQ Latinx people to come to consensus on worldwide first?

In all seriousness, can we please stop this nonsense that the price is too high? Like what are we talking about? You're probably writing this from your 1000$ phone, wearing 200$ shoes coming fresh out of your 500$ weekend vacation, going back on to your 1500$ gaming PC in a couple of minutes, or something like this.
For the technology you get this is an incredible price and I'm really tired of this argument when so much around one cost fortunes and it's basically alright and accepted.

Yeah, no, the PC is the only thing you got right. (Notice how a $1500 gaming PC is apparently overly expensive now.)

[ShutUp]

So they can post threads about the white game characters looking the same and especially no issues with shitting on red headed game characters but immediately gotta protect the women’s eyes and ban the person who posted some sexy pixels?

 

Also from that thread

Imagine if they actually showed which mod did the ban so you could actually find out why they felt a ban was deserved.

Making mods accountable? Where do you think you are posting this, exactly?

This isn't needed because all bans are signed off on by at least three staff members after discussion and all bans are then reevaluated through discussion with the entire staff during their meetings. The staff have explained this before so this troll is posting in bad faith to try and undermine the community and make its members vulnerable to fascists who are chomping at the bit to tear down ResetERA.com's powerful voice in the gaming community.

Hopefully the staff will come to a consensus on banning them, followed by one of Hecht's patented safety checks by investigating hate site plans and plots, so that all the members on the forum can feel safe again.

Even if you buy a used copy of the game, you are saying you don't care about media that promotes anti-Semitic stereotypes and you really want to play the oppressor of fantasy-Jews. Not a good look even if you think you are magically rules lawyering your way around the the support of transphobia.

I love that this is now just a fact.

[Nintex]

Why do they think the Final Fantasy rumor is fake?

I can totally see Square Enix release a dozen Final Fantasy products this year in support of the new Final Fantasy.
Sakaguchi also said that even though he didn't plan on making another game he is working on a new project.
Some sort of Anniversary celebration sounds like something he'd want to take part in.

I guess ResetEra had to quickly close the thread lest it gets in the way of transphobia, cancelling community managers and contemplating suicide

happy final fantasy anniversary to all that celebrate

Nah, Sony would want all new announcements in their PS5 showcases. Modern Square Enix takes Sony exclusivity deals like Fat4All/PlanetSmasher take every opportunity to be the shitty first reply in threads.

Yep, it’s a wonderful little setup they got going on in the con, you question it and you’re banned for “dismissing concerns”/ “downplaying” and they carry on with their convenient little lies
