So its okay that he is breaking the rule by official staff communication they put above the text box in a bright higlighted way?
I think so, I touched on it in the post before that and mentioned your post but didn't tag at the time.
Honestly, the one thing I hope we get from Cyberpunk is the ability - as a community - to think more critically about the media we consume. Fewer hype threads and less blind enthusiasm for these AAA games that are so often made under direct exploitation of its workforce or complete disregard to certain minorities/social groups.
That's where this website needs to decide what form it really wants to be. This wishy washy "you can be excited but don't be TOO excited" shit is trying to have ya cake and eat it too. Era wants to be All Things to All People, but some of those Things are inevitably gonna butt heads with Some People. And you gotta make a decision one way or another over what are you gonna value more: the seemingly majority of people on this website who gladly partake in CP2077 threads in the thousands or the small vocal minority who bring up valid points against a major video game studio.
So are the issues regarding slave and child labor from the likes of Nintendo, MS or Sony. I'm all for taking a tougher stance on this but then we shouldn't shield some companies while banning others.
Let us know when you've read the transphobia thread OP in full instead of doing this song and dance.
you dont get to use that dismissive word when the discussion is literally What About Others lol. The context of the discussion is concerning the moderation of problematic publishers and creators going forward.
It's not whataboutism. We literally had a stickied thread pointing out slave labor from these companies. ERA mods need to decide whether they'll allow hype threads from these companies or not.
It's pretty funny how you are fine to ignore all the problematic shit from ND or Ubisoft but now try to claim i'm trying to derail discussion.
Bro are you just not reading posts you quoted? You literally just responded to a thread asking about other publishers who have held problematic views or don't bad things. You said yeah well CDPR is more systemic. And he said but the other publishers have systemic issues too. Then you said STOP THE WHATABOUTISMS as a dismissal. Its like you didnt have a proper response so you fell back on a gotcha reply and dismissed the conversation.
I was kind of on your side of this little tussle, but now you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Stop. Just report the post and move on. No need to make a scene over one post that most of us agree is out of line. It really feels like you're trying to cast shade on an entire thread and community over one post, and that's not a good look.
You are the person wanting to ban discussion of CDPR because of systematic issues yet when i argue fine then we should do it for every systemic issue you are the one screaming BUT WHATABOUTISM.
Im really not trying to do that. It just really irritated me so that was my initial reaction can you understand me a bit? Sorry for bringing that up here and I of course reported him already, hopefully a mod will take action.
I appreciate your effort in engaging in this thread. From my side I have difficulty hiding my excitement for Cyberpunk 2077 but I will try to be more considerate and less defensive when it comes to this subject. I do still hope discussion on the game will remain possible and I hope it can happen alongside criticism of CDPR's transphobic attitude.
Fucking do it then. Make the thread. Read my last post and let's go. You'll have my support. If not then it is a shitty fucking argument, and we all know it.
The first post you quoted literally argues for how we could decide whether to ban it or not and you present arguments to ban it.
It's not my decision to ban any topics. Neither you nor me making a thread will make this decision.
if that was your thinking, you shouldn't entered into the conversation about other companies in the first place
You are right. I remember reading sth like this a few years ago. Maybe later in the game?
That was indeed the original plan, as seen in the 2018 demo.
That's fine dude, just be ready for people to call them out for being contradictory and confusing
