The fact that you are literally using a right-wing argument for gun ownership is saying everything I need to know about how seriously to take you.

Me asking you what you would do if ice comes to take a family member or you isn't a right wing question. That doesn't even make sense.

if you think the right answer is go with them and hope your lawyers save you, then you can say that. Not answering and trying to miscategorize what I'm saying is just weird.

I remember how people idly shrugged at [Biden] saying we must fund the police in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests.

I can't believe someone running for President of the United States would dare take a stance that 99% of people agree with.

[benji]

Nepenthe sure was glad the Lithonia Police were funded when she needed to report people on the internet criticizing her to them.

Blueballs is an idiot. I'm left of Stalin.

Fuck Trump. Blueball please follow the correct ideology like I do.

[quote=Nepenthe ] I remember constantly how people can't just be assed to include the Indigenous within their political purview at all, especially if it butts against their enjoyment of a fucking sci-fi film. I remember what was done to me in the aftermath of Gaza finally becoming a national story and how people just continue casually ignoring the horrors that occurred there under the last administration because it is inconvenient to the culture war narrative.

I called for Jews to be expelled and was blamed for it!  Me!
And what do indigenous people have to do with that?  How often does she have to throw them into the mix?  Nepenthe, baby, we don't want your type of help. 

I remember constantly how people can't just be assed to include the Indigenous within their political purview at all

*hm, I wonder if she's talking about something specific here. Maybe that pipeline thing? Actually whatever happened to tha-

, especially if it butts against their enjoyment of a fucking sci-fi film.

oh... she's talking about fucking Avatar
Sleep tight indigenous folks, Nepenthe fights for your most important rights

Oh sweet jesus.  Is Nepenthe going to start commentating on Avatar?  This is glorious but took long enough.  Her record is has always been to make a suffix out of the phrase, "- and what about the indigenous peoples?"  

It's your basic white liberal guilt token gesture.  Exel and Nep don't get how natives would say, "I see you," to their actions.  We don't need suburb liberals in furry suits, cos-playing as leftists to save us.  Nepenthe makes so much sense when you think of her as very white and very rich.

Absolutely and she's fully aware of this fact. Except Nepenthe is a turbocunt because she uses her own personal poverty (alleviated by her willing parents) and the colour of her skin as cudgels to beat everyone else over the head and claim The Most Oppression™.

If ICE comes knocking, these fuckers will be on their knees with their hands behind their heads before they even open the door. 

Fucking LARPers at life who can't even handle a mild workplace dispute and now they're gonna have a shootout with law enforcement?

[Chumbawumbafan69]

As a us guy in his mid-forties, it's all pretty hilarious, the chaos caused online by retards is pretty much worth it. 

My 401k will level out, I'm confident of that. My 16 yeal old just got a fast food job making $17/hr. Groceries are more expensive, but my cc cash back mitigates that more or less. We make our nut and save a decent bit every week. I don't need a new car/TV atm, fuck China. Future is bright, all things considered.

Is this some resetera troll or an actual retard post?

They never really cared. Neither did the protestors at the universities. African children are just too dark and unsexy to really get a good movement behind. Not like them Gaza folk.

Seems like we're getting new entries for the Encyclopedia of Legendary Forum Management every day lately.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cyberpunk-2077-switch-information.1164015/

MOD EDIT: Since the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 is a new release for a new console and it's been long enough since the initial release, we've allowed a single information OT for it to be created. Any and all discussion about the Switch 2 version goes in here. Any and all conversation about the other versions still goes in the game's OT in hangouts.

Curious why? See here

To protect our community, we now have TWO Cyberpunk threads, one for the Switch 2 and one for...the rest. Because we think the game has spent long enough in transphobia timeout to get a bit of a platform on our site, as a treat. 

 

(the See Here link just links to the original list of sins for the initial quarantine, while conveniently avoiding mention of the Harm in the thread itself... no elaboration why having a Switch 2 version of a game gives it a special temporary transphobia pass in linked explainer, of course)

[benji]

Cis don't care. The Cruelty is the point.

[BIONIC]

When a user accuses Digital Foundry of being on the take by Sony to discredit the Switch 2, I feel like the ban duration should be longer than 3 days. Right now in multiple threads related to the Switch 2 there are A LOT of users directly or indirectly questioning DF's journalistic integrity and it might be something worth a closer look.

Agreed. We have Digital Foundry staff as members here too, so it's accusing fellow members of being on the take.

You just know Kyujji was in the discords bitching and moaning about the CP2077 switch threads and demanding they be locked down.

A few years back during a temp assignment I had a coworker who seemed to act passive aggressively around me, and it was something I wasn't used to in the workplace. I figured it was because he was rather boisterous and outgoing and I hadn't really socialized much around the office and I supposed he took that as me giving the cold shoulder (I had a more tech-y job than most of my coworkers and it took a lot of my concentration). So one time pretty late in the shift I went over to him to try to smooth things over.

Turns out he was gay and was just really into me!

Was a pretty awkward situation, but Covid happened immediately afterwards and I finished the gig while WFH and never saw the dude again.

MIMIC

Lmao. Situations like these remind me of elementary school. A girl was really into me and always pushed me and got me into trouble and was very mean to me. I told my parents and the teacher and turns out she liked me.

But this guy? Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. But we're adults now. I'm taking his actions at face value. I'm not saying good morning to him anymore. I'm not acknowledging him outside of work-related matters.

I heard him gossiping with another coworker about how he thinks it's disrespectful to not say good morning when you see someone. And that's true and I feel the same way.

If he didn't like me before, he's in for a treat.

Why can't they just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist? Is that so hard? Is anyone forcing them to pay attention to it?

They previously literally bullied one of the Digital Foundry staff off of Era.

Twitter exposes me to various culture battles and, after four days or so, everybody moves onto the next thing. I get that it’s its own hobby for people. Pretending to like whatever shit media the chuds don’t. Getting mad at something going woke. It’s all very empty. Like celebrity gossip. Maybe lamer. Ben Affleck getting a yakuza phoenix tattoo has depth and nuance.

[Jansen]

Cis don't care. The Cruelty is the point.

I relish the cruelty everyday

Man, what a piece of shit Trump is. And some of you guys think Zelensky is ungrateful and stubborn.

Ngl it's kinda hilarious to see Trump getting more and more deranged and yet see you guys still suck his dick just because you have no personality other than "opposite of what Resetera thinks"

This is it.

We're done.

yep. Time to step back and start wiping your social media histories if you want to be able to fight and not get dragged into an unmarked van to disappear forever.

What a chad!

If I was Spineduke I'd actually kind of consider this, but not because of Trump - Mossad Clan ain’t nuthing ta fuck wit

I feel like a crazy person because we hear and see all of these terrible things happening (online), and then you go outside and... not much has changed.

That doom thread has a bunch of people telling them to join mutual aid organizations and volunteer in their area. Don't these idiots know that most people don't live in giant cities with "mutual aid" groups. Instead of just telling people to do that, how about they actually show them where these magical groups are? Because I don't think googling "mutual aid in my area" is going to help most people.

bluesky, twitter, patreon, ko-fi, BuyMeACoffee, GoFundMe, etc etc etc

Oh, wait, you think they meant mutual aid as in offer your services to someone more in need than you for free?

[Eric Cartman]

The fact that he's lying and Americans are sitting on their sofas doing nothing is telling. Weak nation.

Notorious narcissist lies about his intelligence.

It's not an intelligence test, its a test to make sure you don't have dementia - its basically this:



Its pretty funny that Trump is dumb enough to think it means anything more than that; its even funnier that era then make more of it than he did

[Eric Cartman]

I wish I didn't have to hate free trade and love tariffs, but ResetERA.com hates Trump so I have to oppose capitalism and love state planning now. If only I had the ability to form my own opinions.

you secretly love the take a tariff leave a tariff economy

Fucking LARPers at life who can't even handle a mild workplace dispute and now they're gonna have a shootout with law enforcement? 

Given their attitudes in general, I suspect its far more likely they're the ones calling ICE via anonymous tipline because Carlos calls himself latino, votes republican, and said everything Marvels produced after Endgame is shit

Oh, I think its worth posting the rationale for a sitewide pseudo-ban in perpetuity (and the permaban of some poor cunt who wanted to make the OT becasue he was super hyped for it 💯)

• On August 20th 2018, the official Cyberpunk 2077 made a "Did you just assume their gender?!" tweet in response to another twitter user. This joke is transphobic in that it stereotypes transgender people as constantly being outraged. This stereotype is used to downplay real and valid concerns that transgender people have, and is considered extremely offensive. In response, the official account made an extremely generic apology. There was no acknowledgement of why the issue was offensive, acknowledgement of the groups that had been offended, or reassurance that this would not happen again.
  
• On October 22nd, GOG.COM a subsidiary of CD Projket, used the #WontBeErased hashtag that was trending on Twitter, and made joke of it in order to advertise their own platform. This hashtag was in response to the Trump administration trying to redefine gender and erase the legal existence of transgender folks. While GOG did fire the person in question, said person later went on to join an alt-right website. You can read more about this incident here.
  
• Cyberpunk 2077 itself is a dystopian first person RPG, which means there are advertisements within the game itself. One of the most controversial aspects of the game exists around the in-universe advertisement for a drink called Chromanticore. This advertisement depicts an offensive, fetishized woman, with glowing male genitalia in full view. To say there are multiple things wrong with this an understatement, but the biggest issue is that it makes a mockery of transgender folks, by portraying them as a spectacle, rather than as human beings.
  
• Chromanticore has also been the source of controversy even outside of the game. In the official cosplay contest hosted by CDPR, one of the finalists was the highly fetishized woman from the advertisement, portrayed by a cisgender woman. Once again, this makes a mockery of transgender folks, and their fight to be respected as human beings. To make this scenario worse, the cisgender woman in question has straight up treated the woman in the advertisement as a joke. A more detailed post regarding the issues with the cosplay has been compiled here.
  
• Another concern with the game is the character creator, which has made the decision to tie the voice used by the player character to the pronouns selected during creation. One of the most common forms of discrimination that transgender folks face are expectations and biases regarding their voices. Additionally, by tying voice and pronouns together, they have created an uncomfortable atmosphere for non-binary and gender-fluid people, as they can no longer create a character that accurately represents them.
  
• Compounding the issue is the fact that the character creator lets you pick your genitalia. This allows for transphobes to create avatars that can be used to once again make a mocker of transgender people. To make matters worse, CDPR have openly made some terrible, transphobic "jokes" on their own Twitter account about this feature.
  

Sooooooooooooooooo....

• Joke they apologised for
  
• the social media manager for a different product got fired
  
• A dystopian corporate environments in-universe advertising is crass
  
• A woman won a cosplay contest
  
• You can pick your pronouns as the context for your in game VA selection, which makes IRL people allegedly concerned their cyborg supersoldier doesn't accurately reflect them
  
• Transphobes can make dick girls for the lulz
  

Just because you wall of text every single bulletpoint doesn't make the underlying bulletpoint look less stupid as a reason for a forever ban
