People are getting things mixed up.
Nobody was saying that person was being transphobic. People were responding because it was a shitty, ignorant, unnecessary drive by post

i wish they didn't take any action, they made the situation much worse by putting a bunch of not-so-well-hidden gamergate breadcrumbs in that statement.
all you're done in this thread has been to trying to say how people who are angry/upset about this news are wrong or should check their tone. i don't see one on-topic post by you here. this is all you've posted itt.
people can click on the posts to see the context, but seems like you're just here to backseat mod and tell us why we are over reacting or being angry and what not, without even having an opinion on the matter (in this matter not having an opinion has a very obvious meaning)
Respectfully, I do care about what they want, in that I don't want them to get one iota of satisfaction, or progress, from me with their shitty words and/or actions. If we're talking about out in public, I'd like nothing more than to ask some hateful son of a bitch to step outside, but we're in a moderated space, here.
We don't have to respond to them, and other people will see them getting banned left and right, with reasoning for that ban often displayed. The behavior that they see is that shitheads get the boot.
I firmly believe that we're lowered when we allow ourselves to communicate in words what we think of them, when those words are just what they think of us. I wish they'd fuck off, but if I say that then I've just lowered any chance at all that they'll change, and I'd rather people change and try to make amends.
Well yeah, but you said this:
I think highly of people who tell those who would try to negate someone's existence to fuck off.
No, unfortunately it's not. Any political thread in the Etc. forum will show you that.
Yeah, in general. Not that specific person. Please, keep tone policing.
Someone photoshop Iron Fist's mask onto this man's avatar.
Wah wah, people won't let me get away with being a bigot. :(
It's almost like right wing views do not go well with the rules here, how interesting
"I don't mix politics with games." - gamer who's literally buying a game with a genre that's inherently political.
Bohooo, I can't be a bigot guys! I just wanna hate people while showing my priviledge! whats so wrong with that??
That's because treating your fellow human with basic decency should not be a political agenda. Everybody should want to do that.
and yet when people use that meme they are showing just that. Two opposing and usually hyperbolic opinions.
Anyway, other than having a zero tolerance policy towards bigotry I'm not seeing your argument as factual.
I'd wager they enjoy it too honestly
Like feeding trolls filet mignon
No. I want him to tell me what he mean. I don't understand the relationship between not making an opinion known and being a transphobic.
Indifference to bigotry, obviously. And in you case, tone policing.
¿?
Wow, you just assumed my beliefs on the subject. You have pycho powers for sure.

It's almost like the wide range of viewpoints acceptable by the TOS here don't include outright bigotry and the language of hatred masquerading as a defensible political stance.
Odd phrasing...almost like....you're mocking a prior offense by this company. Odd!!
Someone assuming the beliefs of another person is what I call "trolling". And extremely pedantic.
After looking at the terrible Twitter threads, I saw that GG'er/anti-SJW/raging ball of hate speech Ian Miles Cheong has already posted a YT video accusing ResetEra (by name!) and "a hateful mob of journalists" of doxxing CDPR/GOG even though the mod team here has continually been taking steps to ensure that nothing of the sort happens.
It's always the same, isn't it? The left has some conversation...some fools bring up some doxxing materials...the alt-right Youtubers latch onto those small comments as evidence of a "doxxing campaign/witch hunt" even though no such thing exists, and their pro-GG base is entertained and gets to laugh at the left and their trust in GOG/CDPR is reaffirmed. The ones who profit are the YTers and, by extension, GOG/CDPR.
I think it's more than a pattern at this point. GOG/CDPR's refusal to apologize, refusal to condemn the GG base, and in fact, their consistency in catering to them via social is condemnable. They have good writers, they have good artists, they have a smart team - and yet they waste that good will and talent on shit like this.

Pretty much this. Not all viewpoints are worth the effort. These views are self evident and aren't deserving of discourse.
i get it now, you're just here to troll and have fun. continue.
Your only posts in this thread have been to defend CDP and tone police other posters.
More like "let the mods kick them outta here, it ain't worth bringing myself to their level."
There's no discussion to be had. They're wrong, they're evil, and when they've been in power, they've killed millions. Freeze peach let's 'em say whatever they want and not end up in jail, but it's not like they're allowed to hang around here for long.
You are uncapable to call me transphobic in a direct way? You did it subliminally through a rhetorical question. Now please, confront your previous question and answer if you have time.

I don't think so. I can see my feet.
It's fairly simple.
There are some issues where you can't just be indifferent to. You can't not have an opinion on the Holocaust. You can't not have an alternate viewpoint regarding slavery. There are topics where impartiality and/or apathy implies some very pernicious things about one's character. That applies to transphobia as well.
Imagine discussing pedophilia with someone who goes on to comment, "oh, pedophilia. Meh, I'm neutral." Would that not strike you as disturbing? While what GOG has done here isn't nearly as heinous, treating bigotry as a punchline or a fleeting issue either means you're explicitly in favour of discrimination or just don't give a shit about it at all.
How would you feel about someone who doesn't give a shit about discrimination?
CDP has definitely DESTROYED their image in the last few months thanks to their social media team. between creating a mega successful game like witcher 3 and running a store than many people love, they had a lot of goodwill but i really don't understand how they're ruining all that by aligning themselves with gamergate. any decent company would have handled this situation much better (mostly by not letting there be a situation after the first time), but all these repeated tweets and lackluster (or downright offensive) responses have really made them seem like a horrible company.

definitely don't have time for you and your bullshit trolling and thread derailing. this is my last reply to you.
i'm talking for their fans that do care.
If the replies in the last few pages are anything to go by, not enough.
