Watching the IGN review for Dynasty Warriors-is every woman from IGN trans?

In the year 2025 if something in Games Journalism was written by a "woman" there's a better than 50/50 shot it's a transwoman

Let's see who is putting staff in danger, let me know if this should be spoilered for embeds:

Blah, blah, blah. Every last one of them will still post on and use ERA. They won't dare make a concerted effort to call out B-Dumbs and the mods. They will never leave on their own no matter how much they bitch and whine on their Discord and BlueSky accounts.

Yeah, giving up your main account to post on your alt isn't "leaving Era". 

We all know thoses spineless fucks can't stay away, like a dog returning to eat it's vomit.

Everytime I see a female looking name author some gaming shit I assume it's a dude.

Most of the time when you click on the thing and you are greeted with a pic of some fat bald prick with all his pedo figures behind him or a rail thin guy with a giant Adam's Apple huge chin and a horse-face in bad lighting that looks like a skeletal human spider in a blue/pink wig.

Ubisoft changed the description of Assassins Creed Shadows on Steam from Samurai to A Mighty Knight Who Matches a Thousand Knights

Resetera "Oh they caved to chuds"

Man those guys are some real clueless clowns over there.

An entire thread of idiots ripe for the picking

Speaking of Benny G.

A friend of mine wasn't aware of this and when I said I would stop posting on TikTok. He was like "sigh are we supposed to be moving to another platform now? I'm getting exhausted of this"

I was like, I know you don't really watch the news, but this has been a big story and even every day people are talking about it. People aren't just moving off of the platform because of some horrible thing that the company did but because it's literally getting banned. Like it is literally in the national news that it's being banned.

"Good. Kids get groomed on TikTok. That's the worst app on the planet"

I looked at him like "motherfucker you use Facebook and Instagram almost exclusively and you do know that those two platforms have historically had huge issues with grooming and assault and trafficking over the last 10 years?"

He apologized because he's in a grumpy mood, but man, the conservative cis part of him really comes out when his anxiety starts to get to him.

Is this guy mythomaniac with his convenient little stories for every thread?

Why is the friend exhausted and anxious for having to move from tiktok if he thinks it's the "worst app on the planet"?
Why is he hanging out with a "conservative cis"? Why is being "cis" relevant in this situation? Isn't he just proving Elon right that it's now a slur?

Also, since tiktok is a goner and bluesky is no longer safe, how come no one has tried to grift the LGBTQ trans community by promising to launch a social media specifically for people of gender? The ultimate trans safe space. You can call it "Trans Social". You use can use Blåhaj as a mascot. You can bring back the eggs avatar from old twitter. After 10,000 tweets (or whatever they'll be called), they crack and you achieve euphoria. There's infinite potential. Alejandra, get on the case.

Symptoms of Mythomania

Episodes of high anxiety
Mythomaniacs are people who are unhappy with their own lives. Because of this, they have anxiety attacks that push them to make up lies that change their environment and life in the eyes of others.

Low self-esteem
They create an unrealistic portrait of themselves because they cannot accept who they are. They frequently verbally illustrate rich and fascinating memories, ideas, and experiences.

Stress
People who lie compulsively live with the stress of keeping their lies a secret, so they won’t be exposed. They must conjure up scenarios and settings to maintain their unreality. Since they are more afraid of being exposed, they work harder mentally to create lies until they are exposed.

They believe their lies
The mythomaniac can internalize the experiences of others as if they were his own. They ensure they know all the facts about these experiences, sometimes treating them like old memories.

Exaggerates the truth
A liar with this mental disorder can embellish the truth with made-up exaggerations to gain favor with others. In communication, mythomaniacs frequently use gestures. These signs shape a personality that enjoys making up and manipulating stories about people, events, and life.

We really do live in the Chad's world now…

And like the thing is… they will change this to appease them and then how will the Chuds reward them?

By still not buying their game. Literally appeasing a group of people who would never buy it no matter what.

What a bunch of morons

steps to identifying trans gamer
1. ridiculous name straight out of a YA fantasy novel
2. gay man's voice in attempt to sound feminine
3. blue hair and clown makeup

I legitimately thought that if there was anyone who was sensitive and cared about women and was not just being performative, it would be him.

Gaiman has for years been my autistic white whale of "I never liked him, I always knew he was a bad seed", so I always enjoy these little meltdowns.

Even Nioh is now racist because Yasuke spoke English in it.

You mean Nioh, the game which had Yasuke speak in English because of course, how would a man with black skin be able to speak Japanese at all? /s. Yeah... no lol.

So yeah fuck you Koei Tecmo, you racist shitheads. You aint slick.

[nachobro]

Blah, blah, blah. Every last one of them will still post on and use ERA. They won't dare make a concerted effort to call out B-Dumbs and the mods. They will never leave on their own no matter how much they bitch and whine on their Discord and BlueSky accounts.

or they'll leave and the site will improve immediately.

One low-key funny thing about this situation: US TT is invading something called Red note/Xiaohongshu, a full on Chinese app. Since they can't get Douyin this is the closest thing TT users are trying out, mostly out of spite lol.
Although red note looks more like Pinterest than tiktok, so not sure the US users will stay long.

Red Note actually does restore the feeling, this might be the cure.

Even TikTok's algorithm didn't have vibes this good right off the bat until training it for a couple hours.

10 minutes into Red Note and I'm already seeing Luigi Mangione on Jesus candles.

Do you really think that is possible? It’s pretty obvious most new posters seem to have quite the experience there for people that are “new”.

I don’t. He was a poser but he could write decently. Now is exiled to Warren Ellis land.

Also, before I fell off social media, I remember him being a proponent of free speech and write what you like regardless of race. So prepare for a new wave of posers that say the contrary and are loved until revealed as creeps.

Straight up banning Tiktok might be questionable but they can't convince me that they're also just not hooked on whatever china serves them. Marginalized, shmarginalized, what they care about is their dopamine hit

[Boredfrom]

They are all hooked to social media, they had the same “marginalized people love it” argument with Twitter.

For what its worth, I do have a lot of sympathy for you guys. There's so much nonsense floating around its impossible to know what's credible and what's not, even if you're really tuned into this stuff.

Hopefully this will all become a non-issue by Thursday anyway.

We've all got our fingers crossed. Just, be nice you know? We're all trying our best amid an onslaught of nonsense. Shit ain't easy, despite what discord peeps might say.

Wonder who he's referring to here? It's not the first time he's mentioned it recently, clearly something/someone is getting to him.

[nachobro]

i think generally the time of forums has passed, but i know that hostile ass board is not attracting new people that are actually new and are actively driving folks away. i think there's a space for a gaming focused forum that isn't a real nuthouse like current gaf but also not whatever resetti is.

[Boredfrom]

Does Bdumbs not know prominent members mock him openly offsite or is he just too much of a coward to respond?

He knows, he is a coward. Is the usual Discord politics, some of the staff are friendly with these assholes (or agree with them) so he refuses to PermaBan them. Nepenthe and Kyuuji got people banned for less explicit opinions at social media.

Part of the reason this story initially didn't get as much traction as it should have is that this podcast features Boris Johnson's transphobe sister as the writer of the podcast and that made it immediately suspect by many.

Who could have guessed that excluding tons of people from my list of acceptable information sources due to irrelevant differences of opinion would have any drawbacks??

[HardcoreRetro]

Here's my advice to the chuds. Even if Ubisoft gets rid of Yasuke, don't buy the game. Ubisoft has shown their hand. 

Let the company die.

Sonic had bad games? So what? Other series have bad games and are still beloved, Sonic 06 is nearly 19 years old, it's time to let that go. Sonic has some weird fans (we'll get back to this)? You really think that's a Sonic only thing? To be blunt Pokemon, Zelda, Star Wars, Dragon Ball, Mass Effect and MANY MANY MORE FANS AND FANDOMS DO NOT GET TO FUCKING TALK about having weird fans. "creepy" sex things (again we'll get back to that); besides the fact that outside of actual porn, the only time I've ever seen this shit is from the very same gamers "mocking" these supposed creepy fans (leading me to just assume most this is a case of gamers protesting too much) and again it's 2025, one of the biggest games of the past few years was Baldur's Gate where you could bonk a bear or a squid man, we have fans who drool over the odea of fisting into a bald chicken man (Garrus), the disturbing shit in the Pokemon fandom and Disney having Mickey and Minnie have sex in Goofy's stomach... I think it's time to move on if you really think a Princess kissing Sonic is the height of video game depravity.

Wait, what?

[kaleidoscopium]

This line too lol 

But lastly, quite bluntly so much of it, both then and now just comes across as just hate on Furries and in turn, hate, intentionally or unintentionally hate on gay people; like so much of the classic Sonic hate jokes are based around furries. Like I've seen over and over and over again Sonic hate quickly just turning into furry hate and then to gay jokes and hate over and over and over again, like it wasn't subtle and it felt like so many gamers back then were fooled by it. Like the most blatant I ever saw it was when it was announced Sonic Forces was going to have a character creator. The amount of gamers who started declaring the idea of character creator (in 2017) was "depravity" and quickly moved into furry and gay jokes and hates was staggering.
