As a brazilian my immediate reaction after seeing the term latinx or any other attempts to make something gender neutral in a language that heavily uses gendered words like portuguese is to eyeroll and think the worse about whomever uses it. Most of the time it feels like lazyness to avoid writing more than the absolute minimum and the other times it's just pandering or for self satisfaction. Also sounds like it's the name of a pornsite so not exactly the best way to identify oneself.

This guys got some amazing videos, and this one is spot on.

More evidence of just how incredibly sad these people are:


"someone called me the wrong name and i couldn't correct them because im weak so just pretended that's my name. What would you do if someone got your name wrong?!". Almost 50% of the 300 votes weren't to just correct them when it happens lol.

amazing.

I did have this long running meme idea of having a bin and taking a picture every time any physical media I owned was considered "Problematic" being added to it. So in the end the bin would be full of discs.

So when are they going to start setting fire to actual art galleries?

Oh my God, I am loving all these mental gymnastics these nut jobs are doing!

"OH HAVING ALL THESE INFLUENCERS IN THE GAME IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF CYBERPUNK"

Hahaha, they just cannot parse anything can they? In a future of hyper consumerism it stands to reason that companies would use these people to sell their products to people. BUT OH NO! THIS IS NOT CYBERPUNK!

I don't think these people would know Cyberpunk if it came up to them in the street and hit them with a glow in the dark dildo.

CLUE: CYBERPUNK IS NOT ONE THING. I bet they don't even know that Mr. Robot is Cyberpunk.

Just read the opening post and skimmed through that thread on era.

Applauding the OP for this great post, jerking off to their moral superiority, criticizing polish backwardness, deleting GoG accounts...

No critical thinking allowed.
 
(...)
As for the CDPR controversy I get why people are mad at the game over issues of trans representation. (...)

Setting aside the whole issue of Representation - a fraudulent concept -since you do get it, perhaps you'd care to explain it. I wouldn't want for what's happening over here - the supreme cowardice of throwing transphobia accusations around because one knows they'll be met with no opposition, as moderators will make sure of that - I wouldn't want that to happen here. So please detail what it is that you get.

Not going to lie I kind of want to make that last tweet a meme...

The Bigot one?

Memes are the last resort of the argument-dispossessed. I, for one, am not tempted to have a "Oh, look, another left-wing authoritarian" meme at hand and using it and leaving it at that, because I can explain myself, thank you, without name-calling being my first, last and only resort.

The same people who laughed at morons burning Nike shoes in protest because the fucking idiots have already paid for the product so it's literally no skin off the company's nose are now voluntarily doing the same thing?

Ha.

This is so on point. I have just seen a 200-posts discussion on one of the gaming forums where people have an actual meltdown because someone offered them a free theme.
If there is one thing to always take away from these people its that their entire lives are are just projections of all of their insecurities and failures. Just constantly constantly constantly projecting.

They are saying because Twitch won't allow Dr. Disrespect on their platform, how will that work if he's a character in a videogame hahaha
 
The whole “no cis people ever experience harassment or violence” lie they keep repeating is genuinely shocking to me. These are toxic males diving full on into rape culture and they don’t even realize it.

I'm a foreigner in the country I live, but Era told me I can not be discriminated because I'm still white and cis. I'm not even gonna play the "look at me, I'm a victim too!" card, but most of the folks' experience with discrimination is all US-based and stuff they see on the Internet. While the core values remain, race and representation issues are nowhere near the same in the USA, Japan, Morocco, Italy, Russia, Cuba or Hungary. You can't apply a single brush to every place in the world.

They literally think all racism comes from white people. They had one thread on it and you would see for instance Asian people pop in and talk about racism between people who live there and they would say “that’s because the Asians learned racism from white people”

which... is.... kind of a massively racist thing to say! Like full on Noble Savage territory for real

yes they are morons

As a white guy in Asia, here's how I deal with racism.


And carry on with my day.

I kind of agree that the influencer thing is stupid though. I'm not trying to see those people in a fantasy game.

CP2077 is quite possibly the perfect target for them. The game is enough of a juggernaut that they can screech to their hearts' content and know they'll always have an "enemy".

Same reason there's not as much riding on the election as most think here. The positions they take will always leave them in a spot with something to rage against. Trump wins? You know how it goes. Biden wins? It's only because he's a moderate and they switch even more to the in-fighting playbook.

I expect their targets to continue to be larger in stature. They need the popularity to rage against. A small YouTube personality or a small indie title,etc won't give them the continuous rush they need. They'll burn out too fast as opposed to something like CP2077 or Rowling where it'll go on for ages.

Hell, if I were running Era, I'd make it a point to stoke the flames to keep those clicks coming.

Day 1: I am getting a promotion tomorrow!
Day 2: I haven't heard from them yet, so maybe tomorrow!
Day 3: I didn't get the promotion

We have a saying in the Netherlands he should listen to: Don't sell the hide before the bear is shot.
