Have you seen the absurd repossess Jaffe has posted? Your chiding random internet posters when Jaffe is doing the same thing
You serious?
If someone is being antisemitic or harrasing with what they're doing or saying, and using a company's service as a megaphone, the company has the right to refuse that service if they don't want to be related to what the person is saying.
They can still say it, they just won't be able to use that service.
What slippery slope is there?
I honestly can't believe that it has taken him this long to get to this point. If he jumped on the Grift train back during GamerGate he would easily have a thing going in the world of trash.
Era was right to engage his nonsense the first time but from here on out, he is simply using this site to propel himself back into relevance. There are plenty of terrible people on Youtube saying terrible things. Jaffe should just be left to be another nobody who's video shows up at the top of a google search for "resetera".
The man has never struck me as a good person and it is clear as day what he is doing.

Reading this tweet all I could think is "why am I wasting any time even replying to a thread about this dude?". And I can't answer that, so I'm out.
You are hilarious if you honestly think there would be any kind of civil discussion... from either side. On this forum of all places.
Listening to any idea regardless of merit, on the grounds that an open forum is more valuable than a inclusive and *productive* one is the *opposite* of critical thinking.
I've seen this so many times and it comes down to this dogmatic idea that the forum is about accepting and listening to any and all viewpoints instead of the real point of the forum: to negotiate truth and improve our understanding of the world. Some ideas are shit, have already been discussed and consensus has been reached that they don't have merit and aren't worth talking about in the year 2018. To illustrate: there is a reason we don't teach phrenology and astrology in universities.

Thats the amazing thing about scumbags like Jaffe is they should have half a brain to know that by taking the stance they are taking and going public about it, their new crowd of fanboys is going to be mostly comprised of soul-draining alt right proud boy wannabes and they have to live with that. Only conclusion to then make is, they themselves enjoy that company. Hey, let them go down in flames together i say.
Dude I don't really care about this useless talking point, but I'll humor you I guess. If you display constant hatred to entire groups of people such as women, people of color, LGBTQ people, then you are in fact, a monster. Not as deep as you think.
A lot of the industry is filled with fragile nerdy white dudes that hate others and can't take the same shit they're dishing out, so yeah.
lmao. I don't know why but there's something really funny to see a PlayStation Designer post this.
who could have expected this from david jaffe
david "hillary could do more harm than trump" jaffe:
(read from bottom up)
david "I fundamentally agree with a lot of the things that a number of the people who claim to support Gamergate agree with" jaffe
david "new [gaming] hardware is like new pussy" jaffe
david "women should use guns so they don't get raped" jaffe
or david "Wait, what are you saying? I didn't catch that cause I was distracted by the pussy on your face" (directed at female gaffer) jaffe

My point is merely if you believe if free speech, you shouldn't make exceptions to things you dont like or find bad. There are plenty of things that hurt me, or i find completely disgusting. Youtube is an alt right haven and actively promotes garbage like pragerU on advertisements and every single recommended feed. But assuming that i would want it to all disappear just because i believe in the exact opposite beliefs would be wrong.
Lets be honest, it would be insanely hard to have a civil debate when one of the core points is centered around Milo. A guy that hates Jews and has defended pedophilia. How can anyone have a civil conversation about that?
Where on the internet is a good place for this discussion?
pretty much.
Era isnt somewhere to go for actually important conversations tho tbh it has its bubble and as long as you know that going in you will be fine.
Yes, Destiny is super pro De-Platforming. He helped me critically think about it and come to the same conclusion. You simply can't engage with people that spew lies, nor should you allow them to normalize thoughts or ideas that makes violence okay.
What is the definition of hate speech and antisemitism? I mentioned marc lamont hill earlier because he was fired for a perfectly reasonable speech because the right wing on twitter twisted his words into being hateful when they were nothing of the sort. Its that kind of thing that really cripples the idea of free speech.
100% this, while i personally think sites like twitter should have a moral obligation to maintain an appropriate level of free speech, they also should have a moral obligation to not let these type of people be major influencers in their platform. Also many people forget that twitter is a private entity it has no legal obligation to host toxic speech
David jaffe has been a reactionary douchebag for years. Back on gaf they use to fall all over themselves to praise him when he'd go off on someone.
Anything to appear relevant after that fucking disaster of a sketchbook game he released
It won't happen, Jaffe knows that his audience is lower than Destiny's. He won't leave his comfort zone.
You clearly don't give a shit about free speech, because forcing platforms to host content they don't want to is a literal violation of free speech.

The idea of free speech relates to the government, not social media platforms. And yes, deplatforming is a two way street
Jaffe, not like this. You should know that you can never win an argument on the internet, and especially not with this lot here.
Go and grab a pint with Cliffy and Dyack and try to aim for Jeff Bell's contribution to society before the next video.

Make one too many threads because you were lost in thought on the toilet. :p

Hey David, I'll have a conversation with you live on stream. Namedrop me on Twitter. I'm happy to participate. We can talk about how absolutely tone-deaf you are and how bad your last several games have been.
Does anyone even remember Calling All Cars?
