When I walk outside, the street isn't covered in the corpses of a million trans people. We must be doing something wrong.

Corporate aristocrats have never been so insulated from the reality of the other 99% as they are now. They’re gambling that the masses are too appeased by the circuses half of “bread and circuses” to erupt in any genuinely threatening civil unrest and they may be right. The general public has never been so addicted to consumerism as they are now. (Look at how “hard” it is for people to give up stuff like Harry Potter, in spite of the legit genocide going on.)

They're now flip flopping pretty hard between "attempted genocide" and "genocide going on"

I guess the problem is that if the genocide is already happening you can't escalate further

:cop User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary Around Disability
Quote from: writhingcorpse897
Quote from: GameAddict411
Also the convenience argument is laughable at best.
If someone has a disability that makes it difficult to work with small screws or dealing with installing stuff like SSDs then it could go from being a minor inconvenience to becoming almost impossible to do. Then they'd have to take it to a store and have them pay to do it if they don't have a friend or family member that can do it for them.

This thread is batshit. Some people's identities are too tied up in the media they enjoy. The idea that no matter how bad a film is and before even seeing it one will have already decided they will like the film no matter what is so strange to me. Especially for a cash in easter egg fest like Mario. Critics aren't trying to hurt your feelings Mario fans.

:cop User Banned (3 Months): Homophobic and boys club rhetoric; misogynistic commentary
Quote from: methane47
Quote from: ButtButt
Brett and Tiffany seem like the most normal couple. I'd be surprised if they don't get married.
I don't know to me everytime I see them I cringe.. it seems to me like Brett is just not that into her... He might be closeted and hasn't come out to himself or the world. He's a well-to-do guy who's fucking ripped head to toe and dresses well and has his shit put together... Has zero women in his life for 5-6 years?? 🚩🚩
Something had to be amiss there.

Marshall and Jackie... I knew from the second she saw him it wasn't gonna work. She's a hottie who's self admittedly been dating bballers. 🚩🚩 Marshall is just nowhere near her league sorry. That said I hope Marshall does leave her because she's just toxic and doesn't seem ready for a real relationship. My heart goes out to him... But he's also goofy as fk.

Micah and Paul - mweh they don't seem into each other all that much.

kwame and Chelsea - she's a borderling stalker. 🚩🚩 She's just too much. Kwame is a mess. He clearly doesn't like her as much as she likes him.🚩

Zack - eww this guy is 100% cringe all the time. That kiss on the boat was the most awkward thing I've seen in a long time.. and the proposal afterwards was just sooo icky.. I don't get it .. why did they have to propose... The experiment was finished.

I'm gonna side-eye the hell out of any actor that's willing to sign onto this project. I get it, kid actors gotta hustle, but any experienced adult or teen actor who's already established in the industry better stay the fuck away from this show.

Like, I'm not about to throw shade at voice actors who recorded their dialogue for Hogwarts Legacy 6 years ago before Rowling went Super Saiyan TERF Genocide, but by now, her evil has soaked into the groundwater. It's set in stone. You cannot associate yourself with a major Harry Potter-related project in 2023 without at least having heard about her trans genocide ideology. So at that point, anyone who's WILLING to walk through that line of fire to take that job is someone I'm not really going to be able to forgive or take seriously as a performer ever again.

But ideally, this show would just never get made at all and the TERF Witch would just fade into obscurity and never trouble us again.

Oh no, a comedy school dropout won’t take me seriously as a performer ever again. What shall I do? :jeanluc

You can tell they are already justifying the inevitable harassment of the actors/actresses in their heads. 

"Oh you're still taking this acting job knowing what a TERF bitch Joanne is? Fuck you. You're a TERF, too. You deserve everything's coming your way"

Of course they will spare the child stars from their wrath--only because bullying kids would reflect horribly on them. How "benevolent" of them.

You're correct I meant refutes. Also you don't see a problem with a 20% cut in production plan in the first year of a new product after the first month of its release?
Second year. And no, it's not something I imagine is easy to predict. 20% is a rounding error. 50%+ and that'd be noteworthy. The current numbers they would have been working with would have been arrived at a long time ago. There's a lot happened in the financial world between then and now. 20% is a realignment, an adjustment. Or it's doom and gloom if you're 99% of era apparently, lol.

ClickyCal' is out for blood in Constructive:

Quote from: ClickyCal'
Yeah I just mean that essentially anything IP related specifically could probably be banned, as long as the discussion wasn't about the series.

It's just pretty exhausting seeing all the blatant promo and celebration posts in the thread, but apparently are okay?  Like, anyone that's on resetera knows everything about all of this by now.  So if you're openly posting praise, you're saying "f you" to trans people.
Quote from: Pirateluigi
I understand why the news about the show could be seen as relevant. For example,  it may lead to someone deciding to cancel HBO Max to limit their personal exposure to the property.

But, as others have pointed out,  it is a really uncomfortable feeling to see members that really should know better keep popping in to post how excited they are about the project.  I have trouble believing there are many, if any, members of this site that aren't aware of what JKR has been doing.

I don't know the solve for this,  but it's definitely dampening my experience on the site.

Quote from: PlanetSmasher
I would say by now that Rowling's aggressive transphobia is big enough to hit national news in plenty of countries, especially with outlets like the BBC continuously trying to defend her. That's not to say it's impossible that someone might not know about it by now, but it's pretty unlikely for a TON of people to somehow avoid all of this stuff while still being gigantic HP fans.
Quote from: RetroRunner
If we're going down that path I'd prefer there to be a ethical rule on it, e.g. any IP whose creator or primary owner openly pledges to use the funds generated for genocide is to not be given promotion for any new works generating money to fund their efforts, not a specific JK Rowling rule.

That way there is a clear rationale to point to when people ask why games funded all or in part by Saudi Arabia PIF, Russian oligarchy, or CCP members are allowed.
Quote from: ClickyCal'
Okay.  Well I'm not jumping to any conclusions.  I can just say there were many long time users of era coming into the thread just posting their hype level.  I just see things as I see them.
Conversation takes a quick detour to talk about the cunt ban still not being posted anywhere outside that thread, so then:
Quote from: ClickyCal'
The thing is not only is the show being hyped up, but the IP is as a whole, and the game...which should warrant bans from the rule.  It's just extremely frustrating to see this.

This seems to be the only post 'celebrating' the game:
Quote from: Vidiot
If it’s well done it will probably be pretty big. That game sold insane and still hasn’t released on PS4 and Switch. Hogwarts and kids going to class, learning magic and whatnot is what people seem to like about the series. Probably why not many cared for those Fantastic Beast movies in comparison.

Which is immediately hit with:
Quote from: Lord Vatek
Why the fuck do people keep bringing up how big this is going to be or how many HP fans still exist?

We know. Everyone knows.

It's not the fucking point.
Quote from: ClickyCal'
Cis don't care.   Just hype and love Harry Potter, nothing else.
Quote from: WildflowerWildfire
Oh good, people are using this thread to stealth talk about that game and how much they love the Hp brand. Nice to see that support for the trans community.

Curious how long staff thinks they can get away with not having a clear policy here.

I am willing to bet only 2-4% of people with knowledge of the Harry Potter IP know anything about JK Rowling's personal beliefs.

The fact that these psychos are desperately attempting to get something banned that only a fraction of the most terminally online people know about is hilarious.

Okay.  Well I'm not jumping to any conclusions.  I can just say there were many long time users of era coming into the thread just posting their hype level.  I just see things as I see them.
Conversation takes a quick detour to talk about the cunt ban still not being posted anywhere outside that thread, so then:
Quote from: ClickyCal'
The thing is not only is the show being hyped up, but the IP is as a whole, and the game...which should warrant bans from the rule.  It's just extremely frustrating to see this.

This seems to be the only post 'celebrating' the game:
Quote from: Vidiot
If it’s well done it will probably be pretty big. That game sold insane and still hasn’t released on PS4 and Switch. Hogwarts and kids going to class, learning magic and whatnot is what people seem to like about the series. Probably why not many cared for those Fantastic Beast movies in comparison.

Which is immediately hit with:
Quote from: Lord Vatek
Why the fuck do people keep bringing up how big this is going to be or how many HP fans still exist?

We know. Everyone knows.

It's not the fucking point.
Quote from: ClickyCal'
Cis don't care.   Just hype and love Harry Potter, nothing else.
Quote from: WildflowerWildfire
Oh good, people are using this thread to stealth talk about that game and how much they love the Hp brand. Nice to see that support for the trans community.

Curious how long staff thinks they can get away with not having a clear policy here.
Quote
So if you're openly posting praise, you're saying "f you" to trans people.
Because you loved the HP series as a kid it's a fuck you to trans?  Said trans people praised the games and all because HP is their childhood memories.

I am willing to bet only 2-4% of people with knowledge of the Harry Potter IP know anything about JK Rowling's personal beliefs.

The fact that these psychos are desperately attempting to get something banned that only a fraction of the most terminally online people know about is hilarious.

You'd think they learned anything from Hogwarts Legacy where things got so absurd that they started to turn around and claimed that it must be rightwing trolls doing the harassment. Instead they're right back at it, screaming that people who just enjoy reading a Harry Potter book are out to murder them.

If we're going down that path I'd prefer there to be a ethical rule on it, e.g. any IP whose creator or primary owner openly pledges to use the funds generated for genocide is to not be given promotion for any new works generating money to fund their efforts, not a specific JK Rowling rule.

That way there is a clear rationale to point to when people ask why games funded all or in part by Saudi Arabia PIF, Russian oligarchy, or CCP members are allowed.

"The Steam Deck was 'SHIPPED' to 1 million copies in 8 months" = Success (Price: ~500$)

"PSVR 1 sold 900K copies in 4 months" = Success (Price: 400$)

"The PSVR 2 would "WOULD" have sold nearly 270K copies in 1 month" = FLOP (Price: 600$)

Do you see the absurdity of the situation? How can we in barely 1 month of marketing speak of a flop knowing that the helmet is much more expensive than the first, available on a console more expensive than the first and above all available almost only on the manufacturer's official website and despite that with better dynamics than these other two examples.

Perhaps sales have dropped sharply since then, but as it stands it's absurd to talk about failure.

Those who relay the information that Sony expected to sell players 1 million headsets in 2 months are in bad faith and nothing else.

I hate the way they use the term "bad faith" since it's now a dressed up way to say "says something I disagree with".

Sony is, for the most part, a hardware manufacturer. Valve is a software company.

I snagged a steam deck in october, and i'm pretty sure they were only readily available a month or so before that anyway and the first 6 months or so were fulfilling pre-orders.

the only advantage PSVR1 had over the others was being cheaper than the other options and riding the initial wave of popularity

being as expensive as competitors which can do whatever the fuck you want on PC hardware, all with the minimal library subset of a subset of a new console, I don't know what they expected

I can't even pay attention to the general bullshit point in that Sony post because all it did was draw attention to the PSVR2 somehow being more expensive than Valve's little "now you can finally play all those games you just had to buy when they were on sale because they'll now work on the toilet" machine

Steam Deck sales are steadily growing, as is interest in the device. Not to mention popular games well suited for the Steam Deck are charting high on Steam in general.
PSVR2 is dead on arrival. The headsets aren't selling and neither are the games.

In Europe Sony isn't even selling this at retailers I think, only in their own online store.
It's another Wii U confusion situation too, because there's a product at retail called PlayStation VR V2, which is basically the 2nd version of the original PS4 VR headset.

It's really no surprise though, for the asking price you can buy ~8 PS5 games or just a single Horizon spin-off with a VR headset.
At this point in the cycle it's a no-brainer to buy 8 PS5 games instead.

One of the main issues of VR is the software library and despite that Sony somehow couldn't get fucked to include backwards compatiblity  :idont

VR as a concept is great. it's just that people with the resources to make something good on it aren't willing to do so due to low sales potential. Half Life Alyx is a phenomenal game and bar none the most immersive interactive experience you can have outside of like...Disneyland, but Sony couldn't even get Valve to port THAT to PSVR2. PSVR2 has less exclusives than launch Vita. The thing is as good as dead.

I'm of the radical opinion that any form of permittance of discrimination against any group of people is wrong. In this context, using the veil of "fairness" and "competition" to exclude certain people who happen to deviate from strict societal gender norms doesn't exactly make this policy more amenable, in my opinion.
