Doubling down on your stupidity? Well that is a common tactic of fascist liberals.Yeah right, and Daesh are all not radical extremists, and Nazi germany was not all antisemitic. I used the term hypocrite on point it seems.

The fact that they made light of the fact that they were borrowing this hashtag from another group clearly indicates that whoever wrote the tweet was:
- Aware of the political nature of the hashtag
- Knew it was going to ruffle feathers
At least they owned up to it, they didn't claim to be "centrists disillusioned by the modern left".
I asked you specifically to explain how and why it is transphobic. Both things you have stated are in no way, shape, or form transphobic.
Hashtags do not belong to specific people, nor are they only for use in very specific events. We live in the day and age where ANYTHING can ruffle someone's feathers. The point of the post was clearly based on recent events within the gaming sphere and the hashtag was an apt response.
.... I love CDPR.... damn, eastern europe will save us all.
EDIT: evrytime for whatever reason I got to the "other site" I get so pissed off that I need to gym... I'm becoming a snowflake
You getting triggered by online discussion means you are a snowflake.
..that si exactly what I said.....
Strange times. Trannys were always around, but I've heard more about them in the last few years than the previous 40 it seems.
No you said you were becoming one. Clearly, you've been one for a while if reading something makes you want to go to your safespace.
This is what happens when people refuse to put the lotion in the basket. Buffalo Bill gets uppity.Strange times. Trannys were always around, but I've heard more about them in the last few years than the previous 40 it seems.
I think he might have been one of those 'jerks' he was railing against in a prior post...? why so aggressive? Or at least it sound aggressive.
Edit: Sorry didn't notice the ban.
I've got to side with the "mob" there. The fact that for example as a white person you wouldn't give a shit about a racist or antisemitic joke, doesn't mean people who are the target of it will just cave into your aggressions, that's the game. Attack people under any form, be ready for a defense.
I'm not bothered by everything the US president does, mostly don't care, but this issue is grave and real enough, that the joke is actually tasteless and aggressive unlike their previous "did you assume their gender" joke which simply mocks an opinion.
The problem is that CPDR is based in of the world's most racist country, today and yesterday, Poland which is one of the rare and first western country that turns to extreme-right wing. Now if you're racist it's not a problem, but for CPDR it means their company will not hold off in the global market and especially not in the future.
Serve me up two copies please! I can always gift a friend.There is alot of bullshit in this post and it will be a sweet moment, when like kingdom come deliverance before it, cyberpunk sells millions. Oh The Last Night will to. Why do they sell? because people are sick of hyperbolic sjw statements like yours and wider soft authoritorian practices like shaming, social ostracization and job loss, the ones in know like me will buy these things out of spite. A good game will just be a bonus.

Im not American so im not really familiar with their culture
This joke seems verry innocuous and cheek in tongue to me, some people are just constantly at the defensive looking for something to crusade about. Im glad those people left this forum.
It didn’t take long for the gaming community to criticize GOG’s “joke” and deride it a
Progressivism is a full-fledged religion that gives an interpretation of history and a reason to feel a part of it, but it must immediately find its next topic once one has closed. There must always be a new frontier (then, homosexuality, now mostly trans* / identity), an identifiable set of groups who can be cast as the forces of backwardness (religions, etc), and a new crusade to show the latter that they've been defeated again by the grand gods of History / Progress. It's ritualistic and fanatical at this point, and encompasses all areas of these adherents lives.
I guarantee you that fat hypocrite Austin Walker won't boycott the game....that would be a hate crime.Sorry for the double post, but most Americans don't care. The issue is, the crazies seem to run our media (especially gaming media with sites like Polygon/Kotaku/Waypoint). As they control the media, the prevalence is amplified and echo chambers boost their voices. Just like with the crazy religious folk during the late 90's and early 2000's, this won't last for long and we will hopefully get back to normal within the next 5-6 years.

Your country produced the amazing punk rock band Brains All Gone. I love Poland.Are you sure you didn't post it on wrong forum ? That's some of the most hilarious things I've ever read about my country.
The hate we get because we didn't want to clear Merkel mess is really amazing.
It's ironic and weirdly amusing that you seem to be unaware that you might be overthinking this while displaying a fanatic gusto for faux psychological/sociological analysis of an entire group of people. You got me curious though, what is their goal?

Incredibly tasteless. This social media dude it just attempting to get a rise out of people. Uncalled for.
Also, hardly an apology. But whatever.
Thank you for giving some extra context to the tweet and the joke within it.What a complete non-issue. Besides the fact that they deleted their tweet within 6 min and apologized for it, everyone that follows them on twitter knows they usually take popular hashtags and turn them into jokes about DRM , Witcher and other dumb stuff. It was clearly not malicious.
I find it fascinating how some people are completely unable to understand that jokes are not actually meant to be seriously. Even if they are offensive!
If society was molded according to retarderans, the world would basically be 1984esque gulag.
And yet if I joked on your mother to her face about her looks, you'd be upset so....

...Me and my friends do it all day a noone gets upset about it. And a joke is a joke no matter what, you can always clearly notice when a sentence is not a joke anymore.
Again, please be respectful and thoughtful in any posts.
To be fair, it was a pretty tin eared use of the hashtag. I doubt they meant harm but this is an instance where GoG should have put a bit more thought into the reactions the tweet was going to get. It's pretty obvious it was going to make some people upset.
isn't that what kids do with their friends?And yet if I joked on your mother to her face about her looks, you'd be upset so....
Because you and your friends have an understanding that when you joke on each other it's cool and there's no ill intent. You wouldn't want a stranger to talk to you or your friends that way.
By asking for a "goal," it appears you have my interpretation confused with conspiracy theories. The latter presume to discover a kind of targeted logic or manipulative plan behind all things; my reading of progressivism isn't that there is a smoke-filled room or some kind of nefarious plot, but simply that it has become an all-encompassing & all-consuming interpretation of the world that fills a void more typically occupied by other ethical systems and religions.
And progressivism's distinct sacramental content demands a kind of continually renewed public illustration that yet another old barrier or norm has been overstepped, so that one can immediately once again survey the landscape of those who didn't follow the latest leap over a wall, and publicly shame or eviscerate them as another wave of bigots against the truth of redemptive History. "Transgender" as recently re-imagined under the new ideological configurations, where identity and gender paradoxically become both a performance & an immutable inner personal truth, fits perfectly into this space and is quickly latched onto by those who yearn to feel once again caught up in the next wave of truth's victory over backwardness.
I had to try. Regardless of one's own personal feelings towards the issue, it is always important to keep in mind the impact it may have on others. Doesn't mean you can't have your opinion that the joke "Wasn't a big deal" or what have you, it just means that it is something to fold into anyone's analysis of the issue.Nice thought OP, but it only took us until the second page before we got the a discussion of how "strange" it is to hear about all these "tranny" issues.

Spot on. To me this is the "issue". A social media manager should know better than to just casually co-opt a hashtag.
Like Entenmann's:
Like Kenneth Cole:
This is marketing 101 stuff. The social media manager's job is to invite positive attention and interaction online. Joke or not. Right or wrong. They should know better.
If CDPR wants to be controversial or stir the pot - fine. But then keep the post up and don't apologize. The retraction says to me that they either didn't expect a negative reaction (someone should have known better) or they're too afraid of any negative attention (so don't post the tweet in the first place).
Well, I'm not going to keep arguing about it mostly cause I'm a really hard person to get offended, so I'd say that I wouldn't care but I can't force you to trust me on my words
On the other hand I can say that a joke is still a joke, if I get offended on a joke, I am the one to blame.
