Support NeoGAF

The scary thing about it all is, that they encourage women to make up stories. So if there is one with bad blood, and she feels rejected, she can crucify me with a sob story and her story is right by definition (according to their policies).

I can also assure you, that if a well done trans talks me up, and i'm not sober enough to see through it right away, I will show her/him the door as soon as I find out. I will tell i'm only into real women and she wasn't what I signed up for. A trans with half a brain will understand. S/he must know somewhere deep down that not every straight guy is after a woman thats being altered. In fact, i'm positive its an instant turn off for the majority of honest straight men. If they make a scene out of it at that point, they're just playing a card. Its the same as those gay men who desperately try to convince you that you are also gay yourself. And then might play the card of bigotry if even that doesn't work. Some of them aren't saints either.

I sincerely hope those fucks will experience such an issue one day, since their guilty by definition then,. And lol, they have to suck dick if it comes to that, I mean, you have to reap what you sow. Can't back out my friends. Though they will never elevate above hentai as they're keyboard warriors.

Sounds like a cruel statement. I'd imagine most trans people want to be with people who want to be with them.

The crazy ones are crazy, same as any sexual preference.

" its an instant turn off for the majority of honest straight men". that's messed up in IMHO.

They have the right to be with ones who want to be with them. But that guy is not me. Its just not what I'm into. I have the same right. There are those that try to hide it and hit up with guys regardless, I know it happens.

And yeah I do think finding out is a turn off for a lot of straight guys.

When you create an environment where the natural predator of the dumbfuck has been removed IE the people that call out their dumbfuckery. This is the result.

"Apollo, you're a fucking idiot" - Banned, transphobia.
"Men can't have babies" - Banned, transphobia.
"MtF transwomen can't have periods" - Banned, transphobia.

So on and so forth.

I get you, I'm not that clued in with trans stuff but reading ERA they do seem extremely unhinged or just simply don't speak.

I would like to think this is not a normal way to behave but then again, it is ERA.

I dunno. It could be that they're trolling. Or they're too afraid to lose their account and abide to whatever their leaders feed them. The second is likely. Era's policies is so bad, that even if you post that you're rather waiting for confirmation on some story, you get a ban. Some other guy was asking for a ban for 1300 people because they voted the wrong opinion in a fucking poll. I just can't get over the fact that these guys advocate democracy. But then again, I recently found out what their owner was involved with. It all adds up. They are resentful. Why isn't it called Resentera anyway?

In the beginning I didn't notice Era was this bad. I was mostly into the gaming side of things. A lot of good GAFfers went there like John Linneman etc. But once the endless derails and sjw worshipping started to seep in there I got sick of it (ironically, John has been chased out because he _forgot_ to mention something pathetic in a video). No single gaming discussion went by without "those clothes look offensive" "this char is offensive towards black people" "Atlus are homophobic". It went on and on and on. Never got that shit warned or banned either, no, you'll get banned once you say you want to stay on topic.

Cultural ignorance strikes again they are ragging on Cyberpunk for being too... cyber punk. A thread full of people who have clearly never read a cyberpunk book complaining about the genre.

Cyberpunk dialogue is stuck in the late 70's to early 90's. It just feels out of touch with the rest of the vision for this game.

Like that is the era of cyberpunk! It is tied to that older era. That was the heyday of cyberpunk literature.

Fuck even retro futurism isn’t safe from their demands to fit everything into 2020.

Cyberpunk’s dialogue and voice acting are embarrassing

Surprised this thread hasn’t been made yet, but just rewatching the latest Cyberpunk trailer and I’m flabbergasted and shocked at how poor the writing, tone, voice acting and direction of this game is. Lines transcribed from the trailer: “Ready to get your cherry popped? Yeah Come on! But...

I bet the next clown world idea 4chan trolls introduce and these people fall for is that a white person getting married with a POC is a form of white privilege, and depraving other POC of the opportunity of being with a person that has shared history, so interracial marriage should be frowned upon.

This was LITERALLY an issue in that Julia Stiles flick "Save the Last Dance". White girl gets with black guy and other black girls give her shit because she took "one of the good ones" away from black women.

Yes and no. She gets a huge payout but at least you can then be assured none of your purchases are adding to her coffers directly (again, Minecraft and Notch). But it’s never happening, so this is a moot point.

Most trans women don’t pass for biological women. They also don’t have to worry about reproductive issues that are biologically specific. Plus I’m going to assume that in the pecking order of “why I’m being discriminated against?” that being trans will always be the bigger issue than being a woman.

I don’t understand why it’s a crime to believe that maybe trans women issues don’t 100% align with all women’s rights issues? Why are people so adamant that they must be allowed to attach themselves to a specific movement when not all of the issues apply to both groups?

As a kid, I used to dream in Harry Potter. I had entire adventures and made friends with the characters. To see her take a stance like this is incredibly disappointing.

I know the franchise is bigger than just JK Rowling, but it's going to be extremely difficult to support anything she is attached to after her taking such a backward, awful view and making headlines with it.

Locked after 3 pages. Review reports aka I can right now tell who's going to get banned.

Soviet
Ryueli (dismissing insert bullshit rhetoric here)
Windu
Drifting Spirit

I quit but these are my guesses from the first 15 ish posters. Well, I don't understand #37's ban, ah its because he sees trans and women as different.

And this, THIS is the shit I hate the most from that site:

Everyone who ever interacted with this franchise in even the most casual of ways should be bothered by those comments. They were inexcusable and abhorrent.

I've only seen Philosopher's Stone back in... 2000? I'm no fan of the franchise. Oh shit, i'm bothered now, what to do?

They are parroting. I swear I've seen this sentence pop up in EVERY topic about such issues. They have them on clipboard. This will get you on their A list.

EDIT: I was right, they're banned. Except for Windu for some reason.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

feeling bad for trans devs who are willingly working on a transphobic game.

again feeling for those trans people who i guess have not heard JK is a hateful TERF for years and years and are obliviously working on a transphobic game. here we have a cis person feeling bad for their fantasy of a trans person.

they want to keep buying HP! but it just sucks that she gets the money! please save us, O Great Woke Corporations.

yes it is through the magic of Transubstantiation that a corporation absolves the brand of sin. if only WB were to buy the IP, it would be baptized anew, any association between it and it's hateful creator dissolved through corporation magic.

It's come we talk about Sweet Home Alabama. Yeah, the song.

tl;dr: Much like most of the stuff loved by White America, Sweet Home Alabama is racist. I'm not sure if the history behind this song is well known, but ever since I personally learned the story behind it, I can't listen to the song anymore. So has anyone else ever wondered why Mr. Skynyrd...

Ofcourse buying HP is the solution.

Bury the truth and feeding their denizens that HP was never created by someone like JK, Works in their bubble of lies.

Can't they open a kickstarter? They think they are the world, they should get the funds in no time at all. Answer with your wallets guys.

 

[Goro Majima]

There’s a large part of me that just does not understand the consternation about creators like Rowling getting maybe $.50 from each sale of a video game. The woman is so unimaginably wealthy that your boycott will go unnoticed since she has no doubt long since made most of her income from other non Harry Potter related sources.

Not only that but there is no purity in any consumption under any economic system because you will always end up supporting someone or something that either you disagree with or that does something unethical.

So to me all of this hullabaloo is just self righteous posturing and jerking off.

I'm not going to comment on whether Rowling is right or wrong but I did enjoy the phrasing 'ease off her grasp of such a cash cow' as if there is something immoral about her wanting to retain the rights and control over an IP she created and developed.

Someone had the brilliant idea to put a trans character in the game to make some form of amends, well,

"The problem with ResetERA is that it isn't woke enough"

Seems to me like polling is the last place people are allowed to be honest with their opinions and some of them have really been making a lot of noise about that lately.

It's not enough that expressing any kind of specific joy for a Harry Potter product is worthy of a 1 week ban.

Someone needs to make a new poll "In light of the most recent shocking developments regarding The Author, do you still intend to purchase the new Harry Potter game?"

- surely no-one is going to buy this shit now, right?

"I still intend to buy the game" - 67%
"I don't support TERF bullshit" - 33%

"Inflammatory polling?"

"Contributing to unsafe environment for marginalized groups?"

Looking at a few comments on that Harry Potter thread, thinking about how worked up they were about corporations who didn't comment on BLM and trying to understand why they just love "cancelling" and tearing things down.

These people cannot stomach it when others are satisfied or happy.

Why was The Last Jedi so beloved over there? Because it took something that other people loved and tore it down?
They hate fanboys and fan service so much, why? Because fans are able to just enjoy things.
Why do they moan about the guys from RedLetterMedia and Cinemassacre etc? Because those lads are just nerds having a good time?

One of the things that people always bandied around when Feminist Frequency became prominent was "don't be afraid to tear down the media you love". One of the things they loved celebrating was legitimate fans of the content FF misrepresented becoming upset.

Let's trash NeoGAF and then set up our own forum, ResetEra, where nobody can mention NeoGAF unless it's to bang on about how evil they are... hm,

I think they LOVE it when someone is being edgy or making appropriate jokes etc.
Cos it gives them that much needed hit of superiority.
They get off on being offended and thinking they are better than that.

However, if you're just enjoying video games? If you're just enjoying working and earning and spending your own money on your own stuff and feeling satisfied with your life? They fucking HATE that shit.

If you ever encounter these clowns online or in real life:
Tell them you don't think games are political.
Tell them you've never even heard of gamergate.
Tell them you just love playing games and don't think too much about the stories.
Play dumb on every single issue they care about and just reiterate that you're happy with your lot in life.

That's what drives them crazy most of all.

A group of miserable cunts who don't get jokes, can't handle different opinions and most of all get really mad because people just want to enjoy videogames.

 

[Saruhashi]

Look back at the thread now and you can see basically anyone who said "I am looking forward to the game" is getting a one week ban.

Yes, saying you are looking forward to a videogame is a "drive by" post on a videogame forum.

I love this little snippet from a poster called Glio.
"I am a biotechnologist and I hate how all transphobics say "It is simple biology". No, it is not, you have no fucking idea of biology any more than you did when you were 14 years old, shut your mouth."

Interesting because I have been listening to a lot of true crime stuff lately and it's fascinating how scientists are able to determine if a victim or suspect is male or female based on things like bone fragments, blood stains etc etc. Like a hand could wash up on a beach halfway across the world and forensic scientists will be able to confidently say "victim is a male".

Yet the concept of male and female in mammalian species is some CRAZY complicated system and NOT pretty standard aside from a few notable exceptions.

I guess gametes are just some crazy made up anti-science bullshit then. Wow.

Critical Theory being applied to everything in action. It can only tear down. Never build.

Good point about NeoGAF. In hindsight, it was definitely a bunch of radicals thinking they could burn the existing system to the ground and set up a utopia. Of course we all know how that turned out in the Reset Era Autonomous Zone. The purity tests continue to ramp up as the mob's demand for blood is never satiated.

Lol this post is transphobic?

User Banned (Duration pending) - Transphobic rhetoric

Oh god.

This whole subject is so fraught with emotion, pain and frustration that’s it’s so incredibly hard to know what to say. Trans rights must be upheld, and so must women’s.

As a straight white bloke I always feel I should say nothing (You’d probably agree), other than to hope the two sides can reach a happy consensus at some point.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Lol this post is transphobic?

Suggesting women and trans folks are two seperate groups. In their eyes, trans folks *are* women and should be treated as such.

Just more mental illness from them.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Lol this post is transphobic?

Straight white male, so already deserving of a ban for that alone, but he had the nerve to say that "both sides" might reach some kind of happy consensus. NO. One side must be completely and utterly subjugated and made to conform or be annihilated.

It probably is, there's a lot of "prior bans for x thing" and there's no record of prior bans so wouldn't be surprised it they journal all of it and use it as part of their methodology for longer bans.

LOL Ketkat demands you quit your job during a pandemic.......

Planetsmasher said:
Quitting your job during a pandemic to make a point sounds like an idea very few developers have the means to do. A cute idea for sure but probably not viable right now.

While it is a pandemic, some jobs are actually busier than ever as a result and hiring at larger volumes than normal. I'm not saying that people should quit immediately, but this idea that people should keep working for bigoted people instead of even looking for something different is part of why this stuff never gets any better

 

[Saruhashi]

Lol this post is transphobic?

Yes because trans women are women.
So if you refer to trans AND to women then you are stating there is a difference between the two.

Of course, it's OK when THEY do it.

If trans women are women then why do this little twerps constantly refer to them as trans women?

It's a fascinating contradiction.

Trans women are women.
OK. Cool. Collect 5 oppression points for being a woman, I guess.
No, wait! Trans is worth 10 oppression points.
OK. Cool. You're a trans woman then collect 10 oppression points for being trans.
Reeeee! Trans women are women!
Repeat. Infinitely.

They are hilariously stuck between wanting to be seen as women but also wanting to cash in the oppression points of being trans.

One for the lurkers.
How many on that site could EASILY just pass as women by literally just posting as women and leaving it at that?
Choose "female" and then just post as a woman. EASY!
Yet, they have to constantly bring up that they are trans. That's strange no?

Here is a ready made opportunity to pass as a woman with basically ZERO hassle.
An anonymous internet forum where nobody is even going to question that you are a woman.
YET. Can't stop banging on about being trans. Can't stop drawing attention to it. Can't stop purposefully delineating yourself as a trans woman.
Why?
