This forum is so fucking unsafe with all the screenshotting.  As a neurodivergent person who constantly edits his posts, I'm being denied a lived experience -- according to the UN denying life is genocide.  Why the fuck are the mods not doing shit?  I'll leave.  I will leave.

I'M                SO                  TIRED

Update on ComedyFailure's novel

Quote
And finally you have the more Greco-Roman style of cosmology, where not only do the gods exist, they're active (and often flawed) figures in the universe going around, doing their thing, and interacting with mortals. My setting veers more into the last one, with one central god who's not very active in the world surrounded by a small group of demigods who are very active and directly intervene in mortal affairs all the time, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill.

So he's ripping off Neil Gaiman

When quitting anything I’d say the biggest thing is not to beat yourself up too much if you relapse. You need to be able to pick yourself up and start again easily rather than like letting the occasional stumble completely stop you from making any progress.

Is there even anything on the slate with the potential to outsell the wizard game this year, outside of say a surprise GTA 6 release?

Maybe Tears of the Kingdom. Breath of the Wild sold 29 million copies on Switch. Probably 1 or 2 million on WiiU as well.
Never going to happen. Zelda is an evergreen where Hogwarts will be very frontloaded

I tried to check updates on this tragic story and saw that the police's stance is that her being trans had nothing to do with it and that they are not treating it as a hate crime. I'd love to see what they think happened then but they are shockingly quiet on that. Only what it isn't. I hate this country at times.

that headline, "Hogwarts Legacy's trans character Sirona Ryan slammed as 'forced' and 'ungenuine' by gamers"

it always is

if it's not put in the game as very token representation (baldur's gate siege of dragonspear, mass effect andromeda) then it's a core part of the game (dontnod's tell me why) and BOTH cases are always roundly criticized by trans people and games journalism alike

the act of a trans person revealing they are trans is deadnaming that no trans person would ever willingly do

if the trans person doesn't need to reveal they are trans, that means the player can recognize it themselves, which means they don't pass and it's offensive

and when everything is done absolutely perfectly, with sensitivity, written and voiced by actual trans people...it gets criticized for "filing the rough edges off the trans experience" and not being daring enough to present the horrors that trans people are faced with every day


it can never not be forced

Actual police quote -

Quote
Brianna was transgender and police say they have no evidence to suggest it was a hate crime but are ‘keeping an open mind’,

Quote
Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Evans said: ‘A number of enquiries in relation to this incident are underway and we are doing all that we can to establish the exact circumstances of what has happened.

‘At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the circumstances surrounding Brianna’s death are hate related.

Bit of a difference between ree's version of what the police said and the actual version isn't there?

Don't worry, I've already sent printouts of Joanne's tweets and her hateful essay to Mike Evans. I'm sure she won't be in cuffs because of the Tories being in power and shit like that but at least the case record will have details on the murderer for when we finally depose Joanne from power and can bring her in front of the people for a trial.

Aren't they using right-wing rhetoric that any appearance of a minority character is "forced"? So they're agreeing with right-wing framing about "forced diversity."

Question: Tell me about Nepenthe on this website:

Quote
According to web results, Nepenthe is an administrator of ResetEra, a gaming forum. Nepenthe is described as a “no-nonsense” moderator who bans users for expressing opinions that are deemed racist, ignorant, or offensive. Nepenthe is also a fan of Lúcio, a character from the game Overwatch. Nepenthe has written a long post about the story of Need For Speed: Heat, praising its themes and characters. Nepenthe has a Ko-Fi page where users can donate to support their work.



Does Nepenthe go overboard with bans on this website?

Quote
According to web results, some users have criticized Nepenthe for issuing bans on ResetEra without clear explanation or justification, especially for opinions that challenge the dominant views of the forum. For example, Nepenthe banned several users who defended Barret Wallace, a character from Final Fantasy 7 Remake, from accusations of being a racist caricature12. Nepenthe also banned a user for making a twitter comment about the forum’s moderation3. However, some users have also praised Nepenthe for being a strict moderator who does not tolerate racism, ignorance, or offensive remarks on the forum.




Q: Does Nepenthe dislike white people?
Quote
According to web results, there is no definitive answer to whether Nepenthe dislikes white people or not, as different sources may have different opinions or biases. However, some examples of Nepenthe's posts on ResetEra that could be interpreted as anti-white or pro-white are:

- Nepenthe criticized white people for their "flagrant disregard for Black and Brown culture" in a thread about a tourist who climbed a sacred Mayan monumentł.
- Nepenthe defended the casting of non-white actors as villains in movies, arguing that it was not harmful or problematic as long as the actors had agency and the roles were not stereotypical⁵.
- Nepenthe supported the ownership change of ResetEra, and denied that he had done anything approaching being "anti-white" in response to a user who accused him of such˛.

According to web results, some users have accused Nepenthe of being racist, hateful, or biased against white people, while others have defended him as being fair, reasonable, or progressiveą˛⁴. Ultimately, it may depend on one's own perspective and interpretation of Nepenthe's posts and actions on ResetEra.

>Forced diversity is real now
>Online harassment is now okay because fuck people playing "The Wizard Game"
>Death threats towards their ideological opponents--TERFs especially--are just shitposting/jokes
>Fuck women's rights and their feelings of safety.

they literally use a shofar as a "goblin artefact" from the "1612 Goblin rebellion" They chose 1612. They could have chosen any other year

This is so basic 😔. You’re not the representative of all Jews. It’s about us for centuries being vilified with the same images over and over. Like if you see friends low key admit to being antisemitic, cool. But that has nothing to do with this. This image is OLD. And the devs are alt right.
Quote
user963597993150
I'm not trying to be offended on anyone's behalf, but a bunch of the development team do have ties to the alt-right. And people have been finding dog whistles like... a not-shofar stuffed with a non-Kosher cheese in a pork shop with a date that matches a program.

Anyone know Morrigan's thoughts on this band:
Universal Music’s German division has announced that it has cut its ties with metal act Weimar after it emerged that the band’s members have far right connections – including at least two members having previous links to neo-Nazi bands.

The decision comes after German newspaper Der Speigel published an article on the band’s members and their apparent beliefs.

“Based on the information we recently learned from a journalist’s inquiry, we terminated our relationship with Weimar, which consisted of distribution of one album”, said the major label in a statement. “That has been stopped with immediate effect”.

”The information that has come to light made clear that any relationship with the band was absolutely unacceptable to us and inconsistent with our values”, it went on. “We feel deceived by the band. If we knew then what we know today, we would never have released the album in the first place”.

The band perform in masks and have seemingly used other means to hide their identities. Though, while their lyrics do feature lines that have been deemed to have similarities to other anti-Semitic language, the Weimar project itself is not overtly neo-Nazi.

However, in its article, Der Speigel says that three of the band’s four members – Richard Wegnar, Kurt Ronny Fiedler and Till Schneider – all met in the neo-Nazi scene in Thuringian in central Germany.

All appear to have used aliases while working with Universal in order to mask their past associations. Fiedler (who the newspaper identifies as Steffen P) and Schneider (aka Konstantin P) have both previously played in overtly racist and anti-Semitic bands, it is claimed.

Meanwhile, the newspaper says that there is evidence that vocalist Wegnar is actually Christian P – who has had links to the banned Blood And Honour far right network, which is known for coordinating neo-Nazi bands.

He has also been accused of possessing illegal weapons and “forming armed groups”, and in 2002 released an album under the name Murder Squad, which featured a Swastika on the cover and had anti-Semitic lyrics.

Even as someone who likes his videos him equating complaints about this game to people complaining about other videos of his is still him minimalizing the issue people have with this particular game, which kinda sucks. That he's referencing past videos doesn't change that.

True, the vague harm Hogwarts Legacy supposedly causes shouldn't be compared to the real cases of harassment, abuse etc. those other companies are accused of.

Post made me realize how much ResetERA.com downplays that transphobia happens at every gaming company just like the suicide encouraging sexual harassment that the government investigates.

I think what really stands out to me is how vapid and heartless the supposedly “neutral”“idc I just wanna play gaemes” people truly are, how self righteous they got about something so trivial (to them) with such actual real world consequences

And then there are the people saying shit like “a person was murdered, why are you still getting hung up over a game?”

It was never about the game. It’s about the fact that we live in a society where people won’t even do the bare minimum and then act surprised when this happens.

Self-reflection is not a thing these people do.  They don’t change their minds; they double down.  They’re narcissists; they’ll never realize - let alone admit - that THEY’RE the bullies.

@jk_rowling Brianna Ghey's blood is on your hands. This is what you wanted. This is what your hate has sown. I hope that you're proud of yourself. I pray that you wake up in a cold sweat with her name on your lips, every night; for the rest of your long hateful life.

You're afraid about people being mad about you playing Hogwarts Legacy and supporting the transphobic JK Rowling. I'm afraid of being murdered for being trans.

We are not the same.

This dumbass says we should treat JKR the same way "they" treat this trans person who was murdered and then world will be empty of terfs. Isn't that a call to kill? if this dumbo's belief is that this trans person was killed because thats how JKR treats a person like that what else does he mean when he says trans people should treat JKR in the same way


The first point is the last point. Joanne is not transphobic. not catering to every belief is not transphobic. Thats like saying if Joanne doesnt believe in Allah as a legitimate God then she is islamophobe towards me . this whole shpeel of I know JKR is bad but... No she isn't. Does she have issues? perhaps but this manufactured narrative being created because she has opinions, opinions which can be ignored and she is not even a woman in power. she cannot enforce that view on who a woman is on the franchise because the company will check her. She hasn't even attempted to force trans views into her HP work. They say well she denies our existence...well. is She god? does her believing what a woman is in her opinion invalidate every other womens view? they say she gives money to anti trans organizations? you mean pro women organizations such as helping women who have been raped. that is transphobic? She is living rent free in your heads because you chose to. If she was really a bigot she would said Trans people should be jailed. has she? no. not even close

Aren’t white trans people statistically the safest demographic amongst the LGBT? I thought trans blackwomen were the most at risk for violence and disease?

Where does all the “I’m going to be murdered for being trans” stuff come from when there’s a low chance of that happening. Even the recent British murder was a pretty rare occurrence.

Also was the combative tone on purpose? The phrase, "We stand by our decision and this is not up for debate. Feedback is welcome but this is not a dialog for future policy." is very belittling and comes across as accusatory and puts readers on the defensive. If this is a policy to better the community then taking shots at said community isn't going to help it.

Quote from: Morrigan, post: 101212795, member: 27
They write that because literally every time they implement a new policy people complain, pick it apart and try to debate it

It’s called a discussion forum, you miserable sack of shit :snoop

You just know that if Joanne (TERF bitch) were to quote the police saying the murder didn't appear to be a hate crime then they would straight faced accuse her of politicising her death without any self reflection.

Pretending to be Jewish just to justify antisemitism is super weird
Quote
natejones99
Thought it was overstated but game has an alt right Dev who snuck some Jewish artifacts as “goblin artifacts” and it lines with actual pogroms in 1612
Quote
Angel
they literally use a shofar as a "goblin artefact" from the "1612 Goblin rebellion" They chose 1612. They could have chosen any other year
Quote
bastuhingst
Isn't there a Goblin item in the game that is historically a jewish instrument and a date on the desc is the same year as a jewish uprising in europe?
Quote
T
I mean the offensive part is their relation to harmful stereotypes and nazi propaganda, not that they look jewish lol
Quote
Amanda Kirstie
i’ve seen people talking about that goblin horn and the goblin rebellion, and that seemed like a pretty convincing argument.
Quote
Eddie Justiniano
I thought it was the obvious connection to anti-semetic propaganda, not necessarily to how Jewish people actually look.
Quote
Caleb Nixon
They have a traditional Jewish horn in the game that was silenced with non-Kosher cheese and reference a Jewish revolt in 1612
Quote
Miley Virus
ok but goblins have literally been an anti Semitic trope for centuries, and to make them the bankers on top of that... I'm Jewish and it seems Sus
Quote
ThunderFirm
goblins have been an antisemitic caricature of Jewish people since their inception and jk somehow made it more antisemitic
Quote
FargusWotson
I mean if you’ve read a history book and seen Nazi propaganda, I feel the stereotype of Jews is pretty easy to recognise?
Quote
Matthew Willner
This is so basic . You’re not the representative of all Jews. It’s about us for centuries being vilified with the same images over and over. Like if you see friends low key admit to being antisemitic, cool. But that has nothing to do with this. This image is OLD. And the devs are alt right.
Quote
user963597993150
I'm not trying to be offended on anyone's behalf, but a bunch of the development team do have ties to the alt-right. And people have been finding dog whistles like... a not-shofar stuffed with a non-Kosher cheese in a pork shop with a date that matches a program.
Quote
Rachel
It really doesn’t matter, the goblins are still an oppressed class within the wizard inch world. So tell me, why do you want to play slave catcher?
Quote
Tik Toker
The person who developed the goblins was a literal nazi, and it was all coded to be the Jewish people.
Quote
lilydeathbloom
I'm Jewish, have you heard of the Shofar that's a "goblin artifact" from 1612 that references the Pogrom of 1612? the lead developer is also a proud Nazi
Quote
Hiram
They literally have a giant star of David on the floor of gringotts bank. Not exactly hiding that they look like antisemitic propaganda drawings.
Quote
sailor
can you please stop. if you can’t see the harm as a jewish person i can’t fucking help you.
Somebody on Twitter confirmed that they think it was Juice so it has to be.

People also still think that Joanne specifically chose the setting of the Gringotts bank in the films with the Australian star on the floor lol.
