I think you’re right. I don’t disagree with any of that.

I spend a lot of time with the mentality that it’s not reasonable to judge people who are otherwise good but won’t give up HP, but I’m asking myself why am I always expected to be the reasonable one? But how then should I feel about the people I know who are in that boat? I feel like I have to give them that benefit of the doubt, but if I do it for them it should apply to strangers like here on era, and I get hung up on that. But I guess you could say banning discussion here on era isn’t some hypocrisy, it’s us actually having some power and say in not having to compromise and “be reasonable” for once, and that is fair and healthy. Idk. (I don’t necessarily expect an answer, I’m just thinking out loud)
Quote
To add to this and give my own perspective, I don't see it as hypocrisy or giving certain people special treatment for not being as harsh on them as we are here. We HAVE to compromise. We can choose what areas to compromise for our own sake, and what areas we stay vigilant. I made a post several pages ago about this dilemma I was having, but I don't feel like I'm giving people in my life special treatment as if they're exempt, I'm practicing self-care because frankly, I'm fucking tired of all this and constantly engaging with it is just gonna be poison to my mental health. I wish I could push back harder, but I do not have the mental capacity to be fighting 24/7, so I pick and choose my battles to avoid hurting myself.

Their taking a continued stance (the no-promotion rule has been in place without issue for awhile now)

"Without issue" meaning some dudes getting banned because they said "hey this looks good" in some playstation thread. So very reasonable.

Which is a shame because everyone who has gotten their hands on the game are kinda singing the games praises and having a good time with the game. Hell, many of the impressions from people who got it early say they are enjoying even the story a ton and intrigued with the world and lore.

I love the slow ratcheting of demands and emotional blackmail as they move inevitably towards the complete banning of Hogwarts.

They’re completely disingenuous and utterly shameless and the staff must know it, but no one dares call them out.

I propose to ban any and all conversation and sharing of content with regards to h**** p*****.
Instead a thread should be created to shit on the terf bitch trans genocider JK Rowling during the launch of the 'the product'.

During this time no other threads should be created, no other topics should be discussed. Only our protest against the ongoing transgressions of JK Rowling.
The ResetEra logo will be changed to reflect this protest against the human rights abuser.

Trans rights are human rights.

*if a Nintendo Direct is announced during the launch week of the 'the product' a TEXT ONLY summary thread is allowed. NO HYPE THREADS during our protest.
Be aware that we will screen Xbox and PlayStation friend lists, Nintendo online activity and Steam activity during the protest. Members that play 'the product' may do so at their own risk but should not expect to be welcomed back as allies.
Of course our non-binary and people who play the game for professional reasons (i.e. influencers or reviewers) are allowed to play and experience 'the product' as a means of research and information gathering.

“We’re not asking for anything unreasonable here, but it would be a shame if you were to support our literal murder and we had to completely organically happen to shit the place up and threaten to leave with all our Discord friends.”
They can't call it out because it's part of the entire culture and ideology. I've mentioned it before, it's not good enough for it to be just an opinion, it has to be a moral necessity that requires everyone else to share your opinion because your opinion is not an opinion but instead actually a heightened consciousness about the "truth" of things because of your standpoint as the oppressed class. Only the oppressor class (aka capitalists aka fascists) would deny the truth being revealed by the oppressed class. But as always, people are impatient so they jump straight to anything problematic will lead to their death because the oppressors always want their death because they can't conceive of anyone wanting anything else but absolute elimination when it comes to something they dislike. Where do you go when you've already jumped to that from the start? We're seeing it now as the trans and COVID cults are going with how everything they dislike is genocide. It's similar for the fascism panic in the same cohorts, nothings worse than fascism (since they're delusional about communism) so everything is instantly lifted to not just leading to fascism but actually being part of the fascists plan including free speech, rule of law, fair trials, due process of any kind, etc.

Their inability to understand that individuals within classes can have their own opinions, interests, etc. is because the ideology pretty explicitly says that classes are completely unified with a single interest and there are only two classes: oppressor and oppressed. If you diverge from the class interest you're revealing yourself as a traitor.

You are referring to the Zero-COVID proponents when referring to COVID Cults?
Yes, especially the ones who want to indefinitely seal everyone inside because they don't view workers as humans. I might be able to come up with a similar framework for the other COVID cult that has somewhat diminished as life as moved on, namely in how anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers became the oppressed class.

Controlling the framework is also an important aspect of the ideology, note how when B-Dubs was faced with how if the class was defined as Hispanics he redefined it to LGBTQ Latinx because otherwise that'd allow for the 97% of Hispanics who refuse Latinx to "oppress" the class that realizes Latinx is correct and everyone else should be forced to affirm that it is.

Also, being in the majority (maybe even the vast majority) doesn't actually prevent you from being the oppressed class, while many of the staff's decisions are American-centric and that's why they pick what they do the ideology actually allows for this. Remember the inevitability of the revolution was because the proletariat outnumbered the bourgeoise, once they were led to the proper class consciousness they would realize they could just murder all the capitalists and have utopia. The entire thing is premised on the idea that the only thing preventing utopia is the oppressor class, so you just simply shotgun the oppressor class to death.

So we've learned she doesn't read OP's:
Quote
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is looking into whether the officers' actions were criminal in nature. The Department of Justice and FBI have opened a civil rights investigation.

Also:
Black officers are 56% of the Memphis Police Department
Do they just not understand that police departments are often made up of the people from the community? In majority people of color cities this usually creates majority people of color police departments.

The company I work for removed all mention of Harry Potter from team building exercises and internal presentation packs because they're aware of the association it brings. That meant something to me, and the few other gender diverse people working here. I don't think asking people who are allies to avoid playing the Harry Potter game is a step too far, and I don't think perpetually tip-toeing around people's feelings when it comes to showing that is something a minority should constantly have to do. Acting like expressing some level of judgement for people continuing to fawn over the IP is some catastrophic cannon-shot to their soul is tiring. It's putting more weight on the feelings of people wanting to play a game guilt-free than those who have to see others fawn over an IP directly tied to the push for the removal of our rights and ability to safely live as ourselves, and it isn't by accident that that's how it often shakes out.
Quote from: Kyuuji
Resetera as an entity is in a position of influence. Their taking a continued stance (the no-promotion rule has been in place without issue for awhile now) in this regard would work to further emphasise what Rowling is doing at a time where significant portions of the media attempt to sanitise her and distort our issues. This is somewhere that rightfully prides itself on its concerns for minority views, a rarity within the gaming space. So all I'm pushing for is for it to hold by that existing commitment at a time where our voices alone aren't enough to register. I don't expect it to appear on the radar of WB, Rowling, or politicians. This isn't that. It's that I believe it has the potential to register with other people and hopefully make them consider their own involvement with the IP. That I see value in our corner of the internet doing what it can at a time when many others are. That, fundamentally, I don't think she deserves a place within our community for people to fawn over her work at a time when she's openly smug about what the IP allows her to do; spearhead a campaign that works to remove our humanity.
In case you were wondering if they're just as insufferable and insane in real life...
The company didn't remove Harry Potter from internal shit because of any sense of loyalty to you kyujigiji you freak, it did so because using Harry Potter in a professional environment is fucking idiotic and shouldn't be done. Also, they were probably trying to avoid you making a scene, not giving a fuck about your feelings.

I don't think the average American realizes how little power public schools have in this area in 2023. It's not that easy to expel a student like it was 20 years ago.
Even if it was, should the student never be allowed to have public schooling?

Yeah, I never thought genocide of all things could become devalued as a word. Militarily dragging an entire populous out of their homes and putting a bullet through their heads and putting their kids in gas chambers. I can't believe that I just kinda read past the word genocide these days, thanks to those losers devaluing it.

Guys, it's a game. Some people will like it and some people won't. There's no need to be at each other's throats over this. If it's a hit, that's awesome. If it's a miss, that happens from time to time.

We're all supposed to be here to talk about games and our hobbies, to take part in fun discussions. If a discussion stops being fun for you, it's ok to take a step back from it.

And remember: if someone is going too far and breaking the rules, please contact us. If someone is personally attacking you, if they're going in way too hard on someone, let us know.

Again I am not going to risk my professional career and livelihood for sharing an opinion on a game I have no involvement in.

I genuinely appreciate all the kind words and support. And I really appreciate the mods and admins work on the forum. I know they all do their best.

Regardless, I am still considering it. Me possibly losing food on the table and a roof over my head for stating heartfelt opinions is not a great trade off. Doxxing is a real thing I have dealt with a lot.

This may be going into too much detail but I have been in the industry for over a decade now. I enjoy my job very much despite regularly not being able to go see family, because I believe if I can do for one person what Kingdom Hearts did for me when I was 11 during a time my parents were going through a messy divorce... it would be worth it. Games have the ability to transform and even save people, because it saved me.

I worked on a lot of games in my time in the industry. A lot. I can take criticism because, and this should be shocking to no one, every game gets criticized. Its a part of the job to take that criticism, even if the person wishes the worst on you, you take it as valid criticism.

Despite working on games many have expressed is their favorite game of all time, ever since working on FFXV I have received constant passive-agressiveness, harassment, and even death threats. What I find most interesting is those that send me harassment and death threats for FFXV, on their online presence talk about other games I worked on being the best game ever and wish the devs all the praise and good fortune in their lives and careers. Its wild.

Games are extremely hard to make and are extremely taxing on us. We want people to have the best experience when people play our games. I have never worked for a single dev that wants to "scam" people out of their money, and every single one thinks about the players experience. Your enjoyment matters to us. If you are not having fun on any game I have worked on I am personally sorry you feel that way. Please know any game myself or any of my colleagues have worked on we put everything into it.

That said it is always extremely disheartening when people take the least charitable approach for why a dev who DID NOT WORK ON THE GAME wants to see the full product before making any criticisms and doesn't want to give credence to the dog whistles this game in particular brings out of people.

And for reference, yes, harassment and death threats do get to us. A lot. Some of us go to therapy because of it. When we released Final Fantasy XV I was so proud of the team and game. I never thought when working on it I would be inundated for YEARS with harassment and death threats and questions about if I even deserved to have a job in the industry. The only thing that got me through those years is my family/friends and a reddit post I actually have printed out from someone stating how the game changed their life and made them rethink life choices and how they are now going back to school and reconnected with family.

That is why I make games. Because they can have a profound effect like that. And that post I read every time I have a hard day or get another death threat. It gets me through and want to work hard for the people who do care and the future people I can impact positively.

Sorry this is long and ramble-y and has very little to do with Forspoken. But that is the reason the posts earlier made me not feel welcome and unsafe. I hope everyone can be measured when talking about Forspoken criticisms going forward.

And for those quoted thanks for the support. I am still going to think on it and likely still deactivate.

As for the mods and admins, thank you for all your hard work and efforts.

Happy gaming everyone...

this is a rather shitty post to direct at a fellow member on this site :/

you're implying that you'll judge this poster in their professional capacity for saying they like a game. are people in the industry not allowed to share their views on games? what the hell? you also imply that people who are positive on the game are astroturfing? i hope i'm misreading your post
This is about them being personally biased.

This individual and others have literally stated they have been paid by the company that is making the game. Just because they weren't paid for the purpose of astroturfing doesn't mean they don't have a conflict of interest.

This is also in the context that the game is coming under fire for review codes that are being arbitrarily limited.

If you are interviewing someone, the aspects of works they admire in their field (especially creative ones) absolutely have implications on their output. This is true even in technical fields like mine.

There are absolutely people who are positive without astroturfing and devs that can share an opinion without needing to project that there is an overly positive general consensus

Quote from: Cerulean_skylark
90% of posts about this game are shitting on this game for stuff that other, less hates games do all the time. If it was astroturfing, this wouldn't be the case
I believe the price point and future implication of industry acceptance is a huge portion of this divisiveness.

Mind you it's not the constant accusations that anyone who dislikes this game is secretly a bigot that he took issue with, his problem was that someone was mean to a dev, accusing him of shilling the game.

Great post. It’s frankly insane how much hate I’ve seen from people regarding this game, while other games with much bigger issues just get free passes constantly (CP2077 Transphobia, Persona 5 Homophobia, Etc) but suddenly this game is the game that has everyone up at arms. It’s ridiculous when you consider this is supposed to be the “Calm & Collected” Forum and it’s just full of people waiting to dunk their hot takes in a thread that they have no skin in.

What I find most interesting is those that send me harassment and death threats for FFXV, on their online presence talk about other games I worked on being the best game ever and wish the devs all the praise and good fortune in their lives and careers. Its wild.
...
And for reference, yes, harassment and death threats do get to us. A lot. Some of us go to therapy because of it. When we released Final Fantasy XV I was so proud of the team and game. I never thought when working on it I would be inundated for YEARS with harassment and death threats and questions about if I even deserved to have a job in the industry. The only thing that got me through those years is my family/friends and a reddit post I actually have printed out from someone stating how the game changed their life and made them rethink life choices and how they are now going back to school and reconnected with family.

That is why I make games. Because they can have a profound effect like that. And that post I read every time I have a hard day or get another death threat. It gets me through and want to work hard for the people who do care and the future people I can impact positively.

Sorry this is long and ramble-y and has very little to do with Forspoken. But that is the reason the posts earlier made me not feel welcome and unsafe. I hope everyone can be measured when talking about Forspoken criticisms going forward.
Okay, I won't post his info here, not even his public Twitter account with his name and face, because some cops will just delete it but it took me literally two minutes to find everything about this guy. He was a QA Tester on Final Fantasy XV and he's never worked at any position higher than that in the industry.

Lol. A "verified" QA tester. It's like the janitor at the nuclear power plant claiming to be responsible for powering your home.

Arguably it's worse because he's yet another "verafled" user where the tag they give is not an informative one about the person, "Game Developer" is probably even less useful to other members than that guy they verified and gave no tag at all.

This criticism doesn't apply to Jason Schreier and Patrick Klepek because they post under their names.

Great post. It’s frankly insane how much hate I’ve seen from people regarding this game, while other games with much bigger issues just get free passes constantly (CP2077 Transphobia, Persona 5 Homophobia, Etc) but suddenly this game is the game that has everyone up at arms. It’s ridiculous when you consider this is supposed to be the “Calm & Collected” Forum and it’s just full of people waiting to dunk their hot takes in a thread that they have no skin in.

Dafuq are they talking about?

 :mindblown :oreilly :what
Didn't they praised Persona 5 Royale for removing homophobic lines?  Da faq they want more

Someone in the neighborhood tried to complain with them?

This guy is a dangerous gun toting Trump die hard. He once lost his handgun and accused my daughter’s friends dog of stealing it from his driveway.

Needless to say my wife does not want me voicing any complaints about him. We have a history.
