Less than 24 hours ago:

You all told us you wanted this as a full ban. We agreed, and we have provided it. And we are once again prepared to toss out anyone who breaks the rules no matter how they feel about Rowling and Harry Potter. Do not attempt to skirt the rules.[/b]

Seems you were perfectly fine with users openly calling for shit to be banned

Fwiw - I got the game early and also one major NPC in the game is trans. I was quite happy to see this.

I haven't played it yet but that's an interesting development. Between the trans-inclusive character creator and a trans-coded major NPC, it looks like Avalanche Software is doing some good things towards making transgender individuals feel welcome at Hogwarts. I think that's great.

User Banned (1 Month): Ignoring staff post to discuss banned game, trolling in a sensitive thread

Oh yeah, my shelves are full of stuff from authors and IPs that have become controversial or problematic over the years, and I'd be lying if I said it bothers me or that I'll stop buying them. My morality likes the cool stuff better than patting me on the back, I suppose. 🤷‍♀️

All Harry Potter books (the special edition ones that form Hogwarts when stacked together).

I own that edition too, the covers illustrated by Kazu Kibuishi are my favorite of all the Harry Potter editions. The Hogwarts artwork formed by all the books in a sequence is a very nice touch and looks great on the shelf.

I’m damn sure, more than anything else, that trans people are dealing with the most nastiness, day in and day out, both because of this game and just because they’re trying to live their lives. Write a news story about that, then we’ll talk.

The unhinged takes just keep dropping from the Tumblrina's. It'll all end in tears once the publishers step in and start to fire these lunatics. At which point again they can be the victim.

I appreciate how she's now using a critical lens, something that would be unheard of if this was about a trans streamer crying

Was this person bullied? Did they actually even cry? Neither of these things have any real proof behind them, and yet this is one of the main news stories from the launch.

Also, why is the editor in chief of a website whining that no one writes stories about trans people getting bullied? You're literally in power to change that

why wasn't there any pushback against comparing trans people being mad at tweets to black people being mad at the KKK? isn't this the very definition of "inflammatory comparisons" considering the KKK has a history of being...actually harmful?

Thankfully, her takeaway from my long-winded, hypoglycemia-exacerbated explanation (I may have used the phrase "the self-proclaimed avatar of transphobia" like three times) was "why can't she just keep her nose out of people's lives?"

Wait a second, only one person on Ree read the article on that OP to point this out

Inspired from the works of great authors like George Orwell, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, Aldous Huxley and brothers Strugatsky, Atomic Hearts aspires to offer gamers a unique experience that doesn’t feel like a copy of anything seen before. The dystopian worlds depicted in these authors’ works, influenced the developers’ ideas and ultimately shaped the Atomic Hearts world. “Our goal is to create lingering memories of the immersive world of Atomic Heart for a long time after the players finish the game.”

I often wonder if she came out with all this shit prior to her Harry Potter success, if she would have ever amounted to anything.

The financial cushion she is insulated with due to her prior success just goes to show how much of a shield money can be for horrible people. She's thrown away her career and reputation to promote bigotry because she doesn't need either anymore. It seems almost strategic that she waited for all the HP books and movies to be concluded before she decided to let everyone know her horrible opinions, knowing it was going to destroy her career and marketability. Pure malice.

The self-proclaimed avatar of transphobia

Definitely not. Her whole marketing pitch back in the 90s was "poor single mother who struggled to write a children's book in a pub for years". She leaned heavily on sympathy as a huge humanizing factor to help market herself and her books.

If she also had "EXTREMELY VIRULENT BIGOT" on top of that, companies like Scholastic never would've given her the time of day and published her books.

Don't even have to go back that far. She spent a very long time selling herself on how progressive she actually is. The right wing press used to actively despise her and tell her to stick on her lane.

It's only now that they're siding with her and being her friend.

This is where she is comparable to Graham Linehan. They used to consider themselves progressive, but the moment they hit backlash for being anti-trans they got increasingly involved with far right wing personalities.

Which is why I insist she was never actually progressive. She liked the idea of it, but the moment it conflicted with her beliefs, she started increasingly spouting far right ideals.

It's been said Timeless times, but for a woman who claims to be standing up for women's rights, she stays absolutely silent on anything outside of talking about trans people.

I don't even know why I'm bothering fact checking what goes so far beyond revisionist history its just boring gaslighting lies, but its documented fact that she gave away so much money to charity she dropped an order of magnitude in the wealth rankings from billionaire to multi-millionaire.

Its also easily verifiable fact that if you go to her twitter page right now, she isn't posting about anything except the current situation in Iran and highlighting whats going on.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Also people who literally and demonstrably do not give any fucks about anything except 'trans issues' shouldnt be sitting in their trans house throwing trans stones about 'fake progressives'.

Can we stop discussion of this game? Not feeling good on giving a dev a platform whose revenue helps killing people in the Ukraine.

User Banned (5 Days): Breaking site-wide staff post regarding advocation for banning content

I agree. How can the mods put a blanket ban on one game for things someone has said, and yet this one gets a free pass even though it is LITERALLY funding actual deaths?

Surely, for balance, ALL discussion of this game should be officially banned including any OT ? This is the precedent now set by the ModTeam.

Why does discussion about this game always delve into same discussion. Why not this discussion happens for American, British Indian and Chinese studios. They have involvement in killing innocents for a long time.

What about just banning Microsoft altogether then they have one of the biggest office in Israel

Because like i said before its about consistency. You cant ban some games and others are okay. Its like saying we dont agree with terfs and homphobes and bigots and racists and anyone who makes that kind of media is banned here, but we do provide promotion and a space for a company who have indirect support from a tyrannical goverment and profits go to said goverment killing inoccent people and whos game promotes restoration of the soviet union.

So say discussion is allowed for every game but with a warning or make a seperate section in this forum for those discussion or just ban it straight out.

You’ll never get any actual discussions about Atomic Heart on here without them transforming into the exact same thing over and over again. I’m not even buying the game, I’m gonna play it through GP because yeah, it looks neat. However, that also doesn’t make me an agent who’s against Ukraine and supports the Russian war effort.

How does one tell that an NPC in a video game is trans exactly?

Seth MacFarlane has done more for trans acceptance and understanding than the entirety of Reeeeesetera combined...and he's a rich straight white man. In fact, Reeeeesetera is consistently throwing trans people under the bus (figuratively you monsters) and turning more people off acceptance than any conservative nut I've ever seen.

[Uncle]

if true then that's shit when you're inhabiting a magical world where people can turn into other people or animals

have some bigoted student say "last year she was Brad" and someone else correct them harshly, and now that the subject has been brought up the trans student tells the player character that the staff helped with a gender change spell that worked flawlessly


bonus points: this implies that rowling is such a bigoted horrible person that in her universe the magical technology exists to help trans muggles and she wrote it so that this is withheld from them

Reading about what that video is supposedly about is basic common sense.  It's hilarious that it takes 2 1/2 hours to explain that maybe death threats against "wrong," people aren't justified.


Nepenthe

Good ol' Unc made a video that's basically just for me. I'm an hour and 40 minutes in and he hasn't missed. Pertinent notes that truly struck a chord with me:

- The lack of resulting systemic change and altered behavior from incidents of online drama is basically an indictment on how outrage/"cancel culture" just doesn't really accomplish much in the long term, with the exception of having created an environment where everyone of any note in an online space- even if that online space is irrelevant to real life- is assuming that their being "held to account" is basically an inevitability that will occur when, as a result of being imperfect, bad faith actors will undoubtedly drudge up anything and everything to indict that person over a fuck up. And I'm like "FD Signifier basically figured out what being a ResetEra staffer is like. Welcome to the club, friendo."

- How much of this energy is leveled at content creators and not anyone of any real power who is actually performing systemic harm, which ultimately ties back into a later point in the video that systemic change is really fucking hard to do because there's no rulebook or easy answers to find comfort in and act upon. It requires imagination, physical work, long-term commitment, and some element of blind faith, so in a effort to assert some level of control and to do our best to act on our principles, we turn to easy targets- basically absolute nobodies online.

However, not every nobody is created equal, and this tendency to publicly shame and even harass people for grievances, real or imagined, comes down harder on Black people and PoCs despite the fact that the online left has one of, if not the most, openly tolerant environments for trans people to exist, find community, and even become figureheads in (which isn't a surprise since white people can be trans), and in general the online left has an extremely obvious blind spot with regards to racism and anti-Blackness despite the fact that Black people are essentially the foundation and vanguards of liberalism and socialism in America. Ultimately, too many in the online left are beholden to systems that favor them above Black people and that is likely to not change anytime soon. Money talks to everyone and white supremacy is big business.

I'll keep watching, but it's an absolute banger.

it's less broad than that and more about canceling each other when you're ostensibly on the same side, it's probably fine to wish death on conservatives

in any case it takes 1) being Black, 2) constantly reiterating the right words like maintaining advocacy for revolution, and 3) having numerous cited examples and interviews to back up what you're saying, in order to make a claim like this without being dismissed or cancelled

it's 2 1/2 hours because you have to beg the audience not to crucify you the entire time

Game outlets and folks who work in gaming will advocate for inclusivity, LGBTQ+ rights, etc., develop an audience around this, then will have the audacity to post about how they're playing the TERF wizard game and get defensive about it. Like yeah I get you need the clicks to survive, that's the business but man, stop pretending like it's anything else.

Ok time for the mods to put up or shut the fuck up.

Also, as I predicted, they are now talking about Harry Potter, but not mentioning the game specifically. So that leads to the question of why is it ok to discuss the books when they were written by momma terf but not the game which only relation is the use of the IP?

I remember when I worked in a video store in high school and the first HP movie was on infinite repeat for like 3 weeks after it first came out, and my reaction to the Sorting Hat was basically "so wait, as soon as you get to magic school they tell you what your future's gonna be and you have literally no choice but to accept it? that's weird."

...tons of schools divide the student body up into groups like this to ensure that kids are in classes with the same other kids and can build relationships, and also the teachers can get to know their assigned kids better too

no you have no choice in the matter

the sorting hat just adds a wrinkle of assessing which group the kid is most likely to make friends in and thrive in, which is possibly better than pure randomness, although in retrospect the hat must divide them up pretty evenly to prevent lopsided grouping

Maybe.  Perhaps and even most likely true.

But JKR did it because it's what nazis did with races and that was her intent.  I was smart enough to notice that in the first book and was sus of her after that.

So……who’s Ganondorf’s VA?

Motherfucker is already trying to cancel him based on his Twitter likes without even knowing who he is

Reading about what that video is supposedly about is basic common sense.  It's hilarious that it takes 2 1/2 hours to explain that maybe death threats against "wrong," people aren't justified.

They basically went from "Cancel culture doesn't exist" to "Cancel culture is a thing when it affects me or my friends"

I never liked how cartoonishly villainous was Slytherin, but… it’s a kids book series. Is a lame excuse given that there is better kid series that deal with morality in a better way, but eh…

Is like the good/evil alignments in DungeonsAndDragons, something that annoys me but I don’t feel going to a crusade for it.

This thread is just pathetic. Pretty sure Nintendo could shit in a bag and they’d buy it for $70.

That being said, can’t wait for this thread after a direct that announces a port of Hogwarts.

It was a C to me, but I didn’t feel it was bad. Is just that most of the stuff doesn’t interest me at all.
