Internet Rule No. 1 - Never read the comments. Seriously. Just don't do it.
On a Reddit post I made some months ago with a link here pretty much half the comments were "Lol resetera, what a bunch of SJW that ban you for wrongthink"
Gaf also has a thread specifically for drama from here. They're probably reading this lol.
If the marketing director thought this was a good idea I think it's fair to say you need to find a new marketing director.
More sites needs to report this, until THQ are forced to hid under rocks and the CEO take action. But it won't happen.
I took this instance for a long time, but doesn't that means we're accepting that comment sections are basically alt-right recruitment camps and doing nothing to fight it?
It's complicated
Some outlets are probably giving them time to retract the statement tbh
I dropped my anime avatar at the time that GamerGate erupted because of the unfortunate association that grew from that crowd. That was back in August 2014.
Yeah that was certainly a poor look. I suspect another statement coming soon but it will too late by then. The CEO should have taken control of the situation.
Yeah, same here.
I won't on youtube comments and start arguing, but as of now it's just a safe space for racists and bigots of all kinds.
TIL this people are trying to defase the SJW acronym and now using "SocJus" instead. They know their wording is losing value and treating it like a joke, lol.
Meh, its like three assholes making it their mission to shit up the comments lol. Sad.
Give us all your hate fools, we don't care. Too bad you're stuck reading Era instead of being able to post. Too bad, so sad motherfuckers!
Whats up with gaming companies social media guys lately? One scandal after another.
Yikes
It really didn't grow. Its still a minority of a few hundred to thousand ppl in anime spaces thats just super loud bug god damn i would gladly purge them from the face of the earth if i ever had the chance to do so.

Yea you're right. The person who was saying liberals would argue pedophilia was a sexual orientation if it was politically advantageous just really rubbed me the wrong fucking way. Stuff like this makes me sick to my stomach especially as a gay man who grew up in a household where homosexuality was constantly equated with pedophilia
I don't think this was a reverse woke brands, just THQ peeps being incredibly stupid, Shaun had the right suggestion of "accidentally" posting pepe & playing the victim, because pewdiepie does the same garbage when he quotes nazi's & then acts innocent, it sadly works.
It wasn't just some PR guy.
It had the backing and active engagement of at least 3 important people, including their head of PR and marketing (Phillipp Brock), and one of their board members (Reinhard Pollice). Reinhard Pollice being literally one of the most powerful people at the company. http://www.thqnordic-investors.com/en/board-and-management/
That's a good point, but it makes sense to try to reason with people on platforms where there is at least some modicum of accountability. Things like gaming media comments sections and YT comments are not it, you'll get drowned out in hundreds of troll accounts.
"Congregation" is now the positive version of "echo chamber"
No, I don't get it
Would do it too, but I have not seen any of them speak up yet.
A whole department decided this, including the PR boss and one of the involved is a regular of that board. This wasn't done on a whim.
I mean, you'd think they would also be tired of it, all they're really doing is hate-visiting the site until they get so "triggered" that they have to break out the burner accounts. It also seems like the only thing they know how to do is use their ancient 2013 playbook with such easily recognizable classics like, "aww shucks guys, I don't know what's going on in the thread but this guy/nazi/mysoginist seems like he's innocent and an overall good guy."
That must have been hard. Just know that most people would look at something like that and think they're neanderthals.
Socially, I think we do pretty good.
However, the second someone says capitalism might not be great after all, oooh boy.
Not interested in hearing apologies on this from anyone involved. This is vile, disgusting and indefensible. At the moment THQ Nordic are dead to me
True, but as far as i know, the old internet joke was even 4chan hates 8chan, who the hell are they appealing to besides pedo's & people even 4chan think are too radical, it's such a fuck up holy shit.
Depends who you ask. Overall ERA is very liberal, but there are people who push even further beyond and refer to ERA as centrist by comparison.
Same. Unfortunately for the devs, it falls on them to speak up against it.
No excusing this shit:
This info needs to be pinned if it hasn't been already.
There is a lot of infighting in ERA because people who only visit one side (gaming or ETC) acuse the other side of being too biased towards one side (gaming to the right, ETC to the left) so i do think it's appropiate to call this, more or lest, "centrist".
They knew exactly what they were doing. They clearly were going for shock jock marketing.
Better than the rest, sure.
But for the gaming community, that is an unbelievably low bar.
I didn't get Darksiders 3 yet (without Jesper, it was kind of a hard sell on release).
I was genuinely looking forward to it. But I guess it wasn't meant to be.
As plenty have said seems unlikely they would be completely unaware of the websites reputation. Crappy move from some crappy people from the sounds of it.
Centrist? Era? lol.
Centrist? Era? lol.
It hasn't been, but I've sure been trying to make sure people entering the thread still know about it.
