Also see actual Latinos/Latinas get super pissed at white idiots using Latinx. For fuck’s sake it doesn’t work in Spanish and if you oh so desperately need a non-gendered description “Latin” is right there!
Funny enough there was indeed a thread on ResetEra where a heated debate took place between Latin American members and LGBT American members over the word Latinx. Accusations of colonialism and non-binary bigotry were traded back and forth. The mods were confused as to how to react until settling on asking posters to respect each others opinions on the word without getting hostile.Which is how it should be. A simple rule in life is don't be an asshole and respect others.
As for the CDPR controversy I get why people are mad at the game over issues of trans representation. But ResetEra is deluding themselves that this controversy will do anything to hurt the game. If there's anything I've learned from watching hard core gamers over the year is that all their 'boycotts' amount to nothing. TLOU 2, Battlefield V, Pokemon SW/SH, Black Ops 4, Avengers, No Man's Sky, Fallout 76 all faced more popular controversy and yet all sold millions of copies each. The only gaming controversy that had any lasting impact was Battlefront II for getting governments to take serious looks at unregulated gambling in games. Even then the game eventually reformed it's image and sold millions.
Oh and while I don't agree with much posted here I do agree that ResetEra does tend to dogpile companies/brands they aren't fond of more than those they are fond of. Even if both are guilty of the same trangressions. Just compare the CDPR crunch threads to the Naughty Dog crunch threads. Many were jumping over each other to defend ND and a few even slandered Schreier as a Xbox fanboy looking for clicks. While no one dares act as a white knight for CDPR.
Another comparison would between Atlus and CDPR over their treatment over LGBT representation. People are demanding Cyberpunk gets banned from the site (lol) while Persona is a darling of the ResetEra community. I never once saw a large movement to get Atlus or Persona banned. Even though the Persona series has had some dog shit takes on LGBT people and show no signs of improving. Like I could honestly see CDPR changing the pronouns/voice tone thing in a future update. But Atlus? It will be a cold day in hell before that happens. And yet the usual always angry posters of Era stay quiet.
It's the same with Street Fighter, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc. Their precious Japanese games get a pass for sexists/problematic/racist content while Western games are held to a much stronger standard.
God forbid Xbox ever releases a game that is super problematic, I think ResetEra would explode.
