We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Ion Fury to retain homophobic content after all
- Thread starter Biestmann
- Start date
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement for their next project starts with something like "From the developer who pissed off the SJW cucks at ResetEra." Y'know, make it perfectly clear from the start who their audience is.
this is like one of those "my black friend finds it funny when I use the n-word" types of excuses.
holy cow.
edit: beaten
Getting to some Trump level tweeting, not surprising given how dumb and careless they are.
In that context is a million times worse.
Is the "token black friend" method of getting away with it, yey!
I'm offended we're not getting the inoffensive joke that is part of the dev's preferred vision, the joke that would undoubtedly offend many people who prefer their 90s homophobia nostalgia.
Say no to the censorship of the anti-censorship brigade!
You know what's great? I actually forgot one that had been mentioned in the post Mothballs was replying to. Mothballs had also had a huge post about how we'd all be fine if Trump was reelected and everyone's just overreacting to the idea - nevermind that the America currently has concentration camps, a rash of mass killing motivated by white supremacists, increased push for legislative oppression of racial minorities and LGBT groups... Basically, it's a view that only makes sense from the view of a disaffected white dude.
And back on the topic of Voidpoint, uou know what else is great? That Simpsons tweet leaves me wondering if they're just that close from ranting about how people (read: Indian people) should shut up about Apu. Because that's really the only time I can think of The Simpsons getting wide criticism for something like that outside of conservative circles.
The thing is, The Simpsons isn't really that edgy of a show in the modern sense. It was never really a shock comedy in the way of post-revival Family Guy or South Park, aside maybe from Halloween episodes that were meant to have a horror or mock-horror aspect. The Simpsons was mostly edgy in the old sense of lampooning American cultural values or institutions that most wouldn't be brave enough to risk. Talking of '90s nostalgia, one of the edgiest and most highly talked about episodes of The Simpsons was when they made an episode that blasted homophobia; something that has gotten less edgy over time, not more.
Just taking a page out of Trump's playbook: take zero ownership and accuse the other group of doing exactly what you've been doing all along. See "I know you are but what am I" playground projection argument.
"You see, it's hilarious because only teh gays use lotion! Yuk, yuk, yuk."
Voidpoint - fuck you, shitheads.
3D Realms supporting all of this is the most disappointing aspect. I expect people like Terminx to stay trash until the grave, but I was hoping the statement 3DR made previously was genuine. Just another shit publisher.
I'm almost certain they're the exact kind of folks who complain about how "you couldn't make a movie like Blazing Saddles nowadays" because the only thing they got out of that movie is "white people saying the n-word is hilarious!"
I've dealt with racists that used this deflection. Voidpoint's bigotry can't be more obvious than this.
I am so angry that I bought this game on steam. I already have too many hours on it to return it.
Is it really that hard for people not to suck?
Like, I feel that being cool and chill is pretty easy. Does it really take some folks just a herculean amount of effort to not be the worst.
Also, for like the fiftieth time I made the mistake of scrolling to comments on an article about this. Nothing but the softest of manchildren.

So can we put this game on the list of banned games since they are straight up being homophobic and aren't apologetic about it?
Unlike THQ Noric which might encompass a big list of people, this is directly from their developers and is part of the game and it's not even debatable that its completely homophobic.

Try anyway, other people have already posted in this thread that they have gotten refunds even after 2 hours played. Make clear why you want to have a refund. Good luck!
Try requesting a refund anyway (assuming you haven't tried already), it's always worth a shot.
What a fuck up. Means I am not buying any 3D realms content. This is disgusting behaviour as game designers (or any creative industry) always have to edit things regardless of calling "censorship". A shame if that quake engine ends up good but scummy publisher.
So wait, did they put the "faggot" back in and took the donation money back as well?
Regardless, no buy from me, what a bunch of spineless cowards.

They will remove the f*gbag hidden message from the game, Ogay stays.
And they crapped all over the 3DR apology.
Oh I see this keeps getting worse.
Using the same argument an asshole of a human being Milo uses. "I have a black husband so I can't be racist".
TerminX or whoever is using that damned Twitter account, fuck right off.

Uninstall and leave a bad review. All you can do is help spread awareness to others not to purchase this.
Yo. Sunabozu's good people. He shows up on streams I watch sometimes. Dude's the real deal.
I haven't played it or seen a lot of it yet so I can't in good faith recommend it. It looks real good and it's been on the list tho :PHow you gonna mention just Dusk and not mention Amid Evil too?
The New Blood FPS Trilogy on Steam

It rules, check it out. Turns out, there are a lot of completely kick-ass boomer shooters out there, without any of the baggage this one has! Weird!
Well that is one way to kill the apology, sigh.
Not going to bother checking out Ion Fury at all then. Really disappointed in 3D Realms too.

It's Terminx himself, who also posted the statement on Steam. He was also one of those who posted transphobic rubbish on Discord. He's also the founder or one of the founders of Voidpoint.
