that's some terrible PR, why don't they hire someone professional?
Sad thing is, this person probably is a professional, in the most literal sense of the word.

It's better to argue with people and convince them they're wrong than to just remove them from the board. Dare I say...erase?
The difference with the female sexualisation thread is that it's a discussion happening on this site, which is moderated appropriately.
Any conversation about "the SJW forum banning our beloved CP2077" being had on reddit/twitter etc is unlikely to hold any value.
Transphobia is where you wanna wave your contrarian flag? Fucking really?I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.
You might as well have just put up an OP and not allowed comments. Isn't this a discussion board?

Anyway. I hope this comment isn't taken too badly. I'm just saying what I see and being the natural contrarian I am. It often gets me into trouble.
And I hope I'm being reasonable enough to not be thrown out with the others. I like this board.

Some actual competition in the PC storefront space would be nice. Valve and CDPR are problematic for various (and occasionally overlapping) reasons. Humble is just a wrapper for everyone else and none of the big pubs deal with Itch.
It's the same problem with Facebook and Twitter. Everyone knows both companies are run by ethically questionable people, but there's no place to jump ship to.
If people could take their money and spend it elsewhere on DRM-free games CDPR wouldn't be able to let this stuff slide.
Oh yeah, that's the kind of smarmy fucking shit I'd expect from a self described contrarianAlso, miss me with that fuckin erase shit, you can fuck off, man.
Guess it's not horrible enough for you to be okay with banning people downplaying it huh. Makes you think.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.

and also someone who isn't a transphobe or an asshole of a similar varietythat's some terrible PR, why don't they hire someone professional?
If you're the kind of jerk that conflates being banned from a message board with having your civil rights taken away, then sure, say erased in this context.
Go fuck yourself.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.

Well, shit.It's not just social media, and it's not just from one person. Various accounts and departments were involved. Seems like it's the company-wide culture, unfortunately.
But... how could there be a discussion here if the discussion is banned on here? lol, I'm confused now.No argument there. I thought we were talking about a discussion here, about the ban.
Oh yeah, that's the kind of smarmy fucking shit I'd expect from a self described contrarian
he's clearly trying to justify choosing buying a game over actually having a moral standard.Transphobia is where you wanna wave your contrarian flag? Fucking really?
Give me a fucking break.
"But did you see that E3 demo!"he's clearly trying to justify choosing buying a game over actually having a moral standard.
Transphobia isn't just a different opinion on some mundane topic, transphobia is a completely unacceptable "opinion" and if you agree with those sentiments that makes you frankly a horrible person. It is blatant lack of respect to fellow humans, and expressing "opinions" like that is a direct attack at transgendered people.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.

I think there are more transphobias who work in the industry than you'd ever find out. It's just that they don't get to show their ass unlike this guy who works on PR. He's like anti-PR.and also someone who isn't a transphobe or an asshole of a similar variety

It's pretty obvious that was the intent with his post.Prolly in some discord with other dudes laughing it up over erase jokes tbh.

A nice thread detail for a little bit until we go back to shitting on Poland or banning Dragon Quest
cdpr is a favourite company of Gamergates, so I'm not surprised to see them coming out of the woodwork to defend them.Boy, the 4Chan cunts are out in fucking force tonight, aren't they
Over fucking video games of course. So pathetic.
I don't know wtf is going on with their social media but this is like the third time this happens, if they let it slide again they are just complicit, no other explanation.

A hiring manager evidently
Cuntery of the highest order
But... how could there be a discussion here if the discussion is banned on here? lol, I'm confused now.
I guess we can wait for one more time. And then, one more time after that.
Right, gotcha. I do kinda think banning discussion about just the trailers or just the OT isn't going to have the required impact.I was assuming the ban would be about the game (having an OT, etc.), not about the reasons for the ban itself. Much as there was, IIRC, at some point consideration whether to ban Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but banning whatever shitty things Vavra said was never in the cards. I mean, banning meta-discussion would be indeed counterproductive to raising awareness about why they're banned.
(that said, a pinned topic explaining what games are banned and why may be enough, as long as there's not new stuff to discuss like more bigoted tweets you just know CDPR will keep making).
If you thought transphobia was horrible you wouldn't in the same sentence downgrade it to an opinion. "I think the Haunting of Hill House is Netflix's best and great horror" is an opinon. "That tweet was just tonedeaf, stop being offended" "I'll still buy it I dont care what they tweet" "none of you will boycott, stop being lying hypocrites" is not opinions, it's statements that are best supporting bigotry, at worst bigoted themselves, and worst of all trying to transpose their views upon others.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.

I'd call it tone deaf rather than trashing trans people. Very, very, very tone deaf. Like amazingly, idiotically so.
"BUT THE E3 DEMO WAS SO GOOD!"I like how a transphobic company is the hill some of these guys want to die on.
Like you really think this faceless company gives a shit about you?
Such a shame that transphobia has to be the honeypot to purge these douchebags though.
And fuck you.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.

It's quite clear that it's not "fascistic", because then you wouldn't be so disapproving.I think transphobia of any kind is horrible but the way this thread is throwing out bans to different opinions is quite fascistic.
