If you start empathizing with a bunch of transphobic asshole because someone called you out on your purchasing decisions then yeah you're trash.Full respect to anyone who sees this and decides to put their money elsewhere (I had no plans to purchase anyway and certainly won't now but that's an extremely easy call for me to make) but I really don't like this culture of painting the consumer as the villain and treating them like they're bad people. If you start calling those people trash and telling them they should be ashamed of themselves they're probably more likely to start empathizing with the actual villains in this scenario - the people spouting this shit.
It would be one thing for someone to see this and be like "Hell ye f them SJWs im buying ur game!1", fuck that kind of person. But I'm not going to shit on someone who winds up making a purchase or doesn't look for a refund in spite of this.
happened once in a SVU episode about twins but for a different reason, the parents wanted to solve a minor genital issue their son had and forced him into transitioning without telling him his original gender.Otherwise I don't know any examples.The kid ends up deciding to revert to originalgender because he has been abused and betrayed.I wouldn't trust that as being something that actually happens (and if it is, it's an extreme edge case). Some transphobes make up hypotheticals like that to justify their bullshit.
Most "anti-sjw's" thrive on having a persecution complex. This is all pretty textbook, honestly.Between "harassment campaigns" and "vile criminal masterminds" I think that guy might have a persecution complex....
That or hes just panicking because hes not used to having his bullshit out in the open and its directly affecting everyone involved.
game looks like a shitty nostalgia cash grab anyway
nobody will be talking about it for long
The game is legitimately great.game looks like a shitty nostalgia cash grab anyway
nobody will be talking about it for long
Hahaha, I mean sure but I just think it can be part of gradual downward spiral toward some rather nasty open arms waiting to comfort them. There's more to it along the path but I definitely think it's something the alt-right preys on.If you start empathizing with a bunch of transphobic asshole because someone called you out on your purchasing decisions then yeah you're trash.
"WITCH HUNT" LULWRemember guys that while he has some opinions you may or may not agree with, he has not hurt anybody, lets not transform this thread into a witch hunt
"WITCH HUNT" LULW
Lmao why would these idiots make this discord public if they were going to discuss their bigoted world views?
Hopefully (doubtfully) they'll actually learn from this and maybe question why they feel the way they feel instead of using this to further entrench their bigotry.
So do you want to talk about what the devs said or did you want to get your bullshit "Can't we just talk about games!" take out in the open?
I think they're being sarcasticSo do you want to talk about what the devs said or did you want to get your bullshit "Can't we just talk about games!" take out in the open?
Womp womp wompNah, they are going to double down on this, isnt like some sponsor or parent company would call them out
Thats not what he meant, lol.So do you want to talk about what the devs said or did you want to get your bullshit "Can't we just talk about games!" take out in the open?
I think they meant for people to read between the lines with their comment...
I like how piracy is suddenly acceptable. That's not how a boycott works.Implication that you can play it without purchasing it/supporting the devs, probably.

Given that I've seen people say this shit unironically before (including in the THQ/ 8 chan thread) it's hard to tell these days
Is this "Calling them out makes them win in the end?"Don't pirate software.
Also, unless you're never going to talk about the game, you're not really accomplishing much. All the people you get to buy the game because you run around publicizing it and building a community for it will more than make up the monetary loss of your one copy of the game.
so just one guy insinuating it is "suddenly acceptable"?I like how piracy is suddenly acceptable. That's not how a boycott works.
What about Dusk and Amid Evil?ugh, finally a retro throwback fps that looks good and you pull something like this
you fucking MORONS
Especially when you consider that maybe there are a bunch of devs working there who made this game to make a living and just so happen to have shitty coworkers.
What's being said in that chat is gross but I don't really understand why we need to paint the whole dev studio has transphobic. Unless I'm missing something.
0_oNobodu has been banned for still wanting to buy Cyberpunk 2077, so why would you think that?
Not at all. I was talking about the user who said you should pirate the game because it's good.Is this "Calling them out makes them win in the end?"
That's what it reads like, and there is a kernel of truth about it. But at the same time, surely *they would get more money if they didn't lose peoples' purchases from stupid shit devs say* and we would continue to talk about it in a positive way, pulling in people who would otherwise not know about it.
All he has to do is not say these things. That's it. If he just kept his views private, nobody would know, hardly anyone would care. But he didn't, and the consequences are losing sales and support, losing WOM marketing, and people being leery of them *as a company*, not just for *this* game, but every game they make.
What gotchas? Pretending the game is a failure does not do anybody any good.so just one guy insinuating it is "suddenly acceptable"?
just report it like everybody else can do witht hat type of posts
i like how youre trying to get gotchas in this thread but not even refer to the actual discussion.
And Wrath: Aeon of Ruin.
Wrath is published by 3DR as well.
Nobody has been banned for that. If you want to show some receipts of people getting banned for wanting to buy that game by all means do.
If you would like to give your thoughts on why your fellow team members are like this, it would be greatly appreciated.Shame on you for stripping a year-old quote of its context, thereby radically altering its meaning, and presenting it as evidence of something systemic.
2011: Upset about gay people
2019: Upset about trans people
Nice progression.
