KCD fans will believe that it sold 6 million copies just because the developer posted a picture, but if you try to tell them that 6 million Jewish people died in the holocaust they demand you show them multiple "unbiased" sources.

So far the only victim, will this hold?

[NekoFever]

There are FAR too many games other great games frequently released year after year to go to bat for a person as shitty as Vavra. Y'all treat the act of not playing a game as a task that requires the fortitude of Superman instead of a super super easy thing to do.

"Hi, how are you today"
Banned permanent because I don't like you

"Kill all the Jews"
Banned 1 week after dozens of reports days later while Nep is taking a shit

Love the passive aggressive couple days later bans they love to do

two things can be true

1. morrigan is correct on this issue
2. you'll never see her giving a stern talking-to to sony fanboys who shit up threads, weird

bonus 3. she only does this in a thread about a game that focuses on the whites, extra weird

another example of why ppl have zero trust for the past or present mod team. they know that trying to ban-bait ppl for buying a game that has some problematic elements is fruitless, and hurts the forum as a whole. they just don't care when it's for "the right reasons"

You guys are just angry because the staff's autonomy depends upon opposing the West. And we can't have that.

It's pretty obvious western games/devs are not treated the same as japanese/eastern ones around here. KCD being historically accurate is a crime against humanity. A game like Persona, where children are heavily sexualized, is regarded as the pinnacle of gaming and no one really seems to care about all the problematic things it has.

KCD, which showcases women in a much better light than they actually were in real life during the late middle ages, is mysoginistic. Meanwhile something like this is completely non problematic around here

I don't care much for it but generally I'll show some more appreciation for my family and friends. It's like another Thanksgiving for me but less festive. Nothing romantic has ever happened in my life.

That ain't right! If I could give you and anyone else a fat sloppy kiss on the cheek I would.

You could argue that the mods don’t enforce a soft ban and let people shit on Persona games while everyone could else could care less. But the usual suspects do the same shit with Persona games, or even with Methapor: Refantazio.

[Averon]

Reeee mods has replaced banning games to letting a small group of protected users be allowed to shit up/ban bait in threads about games they don't like until the thread is either locked or anyone giving any pushback against their insanity/shitposting is banned into silence. Often both happens.

Given history, Stellar Blade threads will be a shit show due to the Crossing Edens, ComedySmashers, ClickyCals, and Kyuujis of the place making it impossible to talk about the game without it being inundated with shitposting and ban baiting. All mod approved.

and, because I have to explain this again:

whataboutism is the fallacy of trying to absolve the sins of one thing by pointing at the (generally unrelated) sins of another

this is pretty obviously an actual structured argument providing examples of how two different games are treated differently, possibly based on their country/culture of origin

it's not "KCD is fine because you people also like P5," it's "western games are decried unfairly, here are examples of prominent games being treated differently"

if that's wrong, then you can provide actual examples of other western games that are loved or japanese games that are condemned, you can actually argue against it...were it a whataboutism, it'd be practically a non sequitur and all you can really do is point out that the logic does not follow

so, you know

Take out the word absolute if it ruffles your feathers so much; there is no hyperbole in my calling it terrible treacle. The human story in Minus One is corny and braindead—trading the rendering of grave, complicated social reality into apocalyptic metaphor of the '54 original for a mawkish pro-imperial soap opera.

One of the main supporting characters have a 3 minute monologue about how the Imperial Army was shit and sacrificed people to cover their own asses, and how they don’t want to repeat the mistake of sending people to die and sacrifice their lives senselessly.

Then they'll bitch and cry endlessly about why people are ignoring them. Hell, it happened in that KCD thread. And what happened when people did get baited to engage with the usual suspects? The got called Nazis and Holocaust deniers(!!!) and successfully derailed the thread. But, yeah. Greatest weapon against those loons is to ignore/block them. In the future, whenever they cry why people ignore them, people on Reee need point to that KCD as a prime example why.

[Potato]

Unless the game is on the actual ban list (and it isn't, last I saw, and the policy about Kingdom Come thread was that you were allowed to criticize the dev but you were also allowed to discuss the game without being antagonized), coming in this thread to hassle folks as to why they play this game made by a bigot, why do they ignore posts about Vavra, etc etc. feels quite frankly like a form of bullying and maybe even ban-baiting.

Vavra is a piece of shit and it's fine to repeat this in every thread. Really, it is. Please continue doing it, and I sincerely mean that. That guy doesn't deserve a single cent in my opinion.

But holy shit, painting folks who played the game as uncaring stealth bigots and aggressively demanding why they won't follow the same personal boycott, and making inflammatory comments about them, and then going "lol bye" when they don't want to talk to you (all of which happened in this thread), is really asinine and doesn't make you morally superior, it just makes you a terminally online bully.

Yep. She platforms people way worse on her site and actively supports their music and downplays their rhetoric.

Except that they operate always with the unspoken assumption that what's not bad must be good. Hence, why they can't figure out things like whether or not voting for Joe Biden should be done. And why they always advocate for destroying everything and starting over, proclaiming everything tainted and unsalvageable. Free speech, due process, rule of law, "the West", etc. all come with flaws and that's completely unacceptable. We can't criticize Eastern games because their culture is completely different and not able to be understood by Westerners, Western culture, especially European culture, is either stolen or doesn't even exist, so the only reason a person would point to the lack of criticism towards Eastern games is to try and shift us to criticizing that which cannot be criticized in order to cover up for the endless crimes that we are suffering in our own culture. It's like all those men who don't understand that toxic masculinity has destroyed the entire gender by filling it with incel rapists so they spread hatred towards women who are actually perfect divine uncorrupted helpless angels in tune with the greater reverberations of the universe.

Rather than accept that Western culture is corrupt and needs to be destroyed completely, as proven by Kingdom Come's and Hogfart's sales, this poster is trying to gin up a racist hate mob against The Other. Literally fascist genocide. We see him. And now with you doing whataboutism to defend his whataboutism in favor of white supremacy, well, hit dog hollers.

similar stuff in that Rise of the Ronin game. The fella in question is being painted as some evil imperialist genius, he was murdered at 29, existed 250 years ago in a country that was literally banning everyone from even thinking about leaving for 250 years before that, to the extent that when the first modern ships landed in Japan he yeeted himself aboard to go and have a look and see what was going on outside.

Then it gets double ridiculous because they take offence to him being compared to socrates, a literal WHITE SUPREMACIST (check it out, Plato and Xenophon confirm it), when the actual comparison is that he fostered a generation of intellectuals and was murdered for sedition against the state.

Imperial Japan was undoubtedly in the top 5 absolute bastard groups in all of human history but we can't just like, enjoy a videogame because this dude's a character in it and his teachings are? Oda Nobunaga and basically every other historical samurai in games were massive paedos and did literal genocides.

It's pretty crazy how the entire forum culture could be a lot more positive if you ban perhaps just 10 people.

Are you reading this Hecht? Just ban them for a month, it's an experiment

You can also see the thinking in the way they respond to anyone who disagrees. They must either be stupid (so condescend since they clearly have never heard your position before and aren't seeing the obvious) or evil (so attack them for invading your space) making them a threat to productive discussion.

Yeah I want him [Logan Sargent] to do well just because he seems like a good guy.

Plus having an American on the grid is fun for a relatively new American viewer like me. This is only my second full season.

Pretty sure the guy is a Trump supporter. There's politics and then there's that.

Don't think it was explicitly confirmed, but given his uncle did some shady ass stuff with associates of Trump, it's not a massive stretch.

That and apparently he liked a few questionable things on social media when he was younger and allegedly (and a proper Simon Whistler allegedly at that) he once posted the maga slogan. There's enough smoke there to at least consider the potential of fire.

I think it's likely that he supports Trump and is keeping quiet about it because he's seen what a death sentence that was for Ferrucci's career in Europe. Well...that and Ferrucci being a complete idiot.

His grandfather is a well known supporter.

The entire site needs to self-cancel if Trump-supporting grandfather is original sin.
