Their screwup today shows they still don't get what the trans community needs from this. Peace and love for all is not a proper response to a harassed group looking for direct reassurance that their problems won't be ignored. The fact that they didn't immediately apologize was another mistake. What's done is done, and it looks like they have lost the trust of the trans posters here that they can be trusted to present this issue with the seriousness it deserves in the OT.
So why did he say that Kyuuji was "purposely derailing" his thread today? Did he really learn anything?
See, this is why we don't believe him when he says everybody is welcome. He first says he doesn't believe CDPR is transphobic (back in August), then he tells the management team (in private) that he'll have something for trans people in the game's OT, then he doesn't answer the trans community in public asking if that will really happen, then he says it was all for peace and love, and finally that Kyuuji was "purposely derailing" his thread with transphobic warnings. In a very passive-aggressive tone. And during all of that, he never acknowledged the trans discussion or even encouraged people to look at it.
So to answer your question about what we want him to do: be empathetic. Signal boost. Encourage the discussion even if he doesn't want to participate in it. Instead, all he worries is with people "derailing" the thread.
That's how I read it.I'm not seeing that anywhere?? It looks like he is talking about how he feels about it now.
He's didn't say "a conversation I was having with kyuuji where I thought she was going to purposefully derail one of my threads" he's says "she told me that she was going to purposefully derail one of my threads"
Do you believe how you read that is a proper representation of BC's character or the actions he has taken to include trans issues the company has in the OT that has been worked on for months?
It's obvious this PM has been discussed off site and several ppl made their mind up about BC BEFORE it was posted in this thread. If it was just that PM and BC didnt want to include anything in the OT about the issues, I would understand.
If I understand correctly, he not only told the mod team this. He actually showed something to the mod team as well and that said w/e it is in the OT is good. (I could be wrong on that).
I think ppl are jumping the gun saying the trans issues included into the OT won't do it justice. You won't know until it's posted.
