Software piracy scene and r/CrackWatch

This whole boycott backfired worse than any Internet autism I've seen in a long time

More proof than Internet online infighting does not translate to real world issues.

If they can troll people by leaking Denuvo source code by telling these people to get over themselves and knock this BS off, it’s just proof that normal people will no longer be afraid to continue to ignore these losers that have nothing else better to do than ruin actual people’s lives, and over a video game no less.

That's not the way this works and you know it

Any contact, any association with the doubleplusbad means you're not an ally you're a twansphobic ebil traitor. Downloading cracked terf game when the cracker is dunking on troons is unacceptable

Trannies like FitGirl are just going to repack the crack without the nfo to "own the transphobes".

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

It's win-win. In fact Empress being a troon is probably ideal since it offers the greatest potential for uncoordinated infighting.

We need a poll. Just for fun.

It might be a male but not a tranny though. The people involved may have just done it as a gimmick , its better to gain attention and simps pretending to be a woman on nerd scenes. Still men though.

I can believe Empress being an actual women if from a Slavic country, since they push math and engineering knowledge hard there. Women programmers and computer scientists in general were very common in the early days of computing, it was not uncommon to see women working the early IBM stuff, only in the last few decades did it starts becoming less common. She might be the rare diamond in a sea of shit non-troon women when it comes to reverse engineering software.

a slavic lady that owns programmer socks and also types like every russian man you've ever played DOTA against

Trannies r mad

Currently downloading it. Will be incredibly dissapointed if one of the opening title cards isn't a an anti-troon goon cracktro. If not, It must be created.

Spoiler

And once created. It must be repackaged and sent to the public trackers for immediate sneeding.

Title card should be the troonjak “ACK” meme

I suppose it's too much to ask that he/she/it baked some messaging into the downloader? Click 'JK Is Based' to install?

 

[Accept Only Substitutes]

Holy shit, I want to pirate this game now just to support whoever is behind Empress. I won't because I don't have a VPN that will let me torrent it (I'm too cheap to pay for one) which probably means I'd get a cease and desist for it and my husband would have a cow.

But in the end most of the trannies who pirate it will probably never even read that rant. I never read the release notes unless I can't figure out how to install the crack. Even then I only read enough to figure that out. I don't gaf what the cracker has to say.

Still hella based.

Adding my autism to the masses: I've known a few hardcore geeky women, I can absolutely believe Empress is a female. I don't think most men would care about trannies enough to sperg out like that, I also don't think a man would pretend to be a woman like that. I know on the internet no one knows you're a dog, but what would an anonymous man get out of it? This is nothing like playing a woman in ESO because you'd rather look at a woman's ass in game. Whereas a woman who does things like this is going to want the credit for doing something in such a male dominated field.

I don't even think trannies who call out other trannies like Blair White does would rant like that without making an "I'm a good tranny" qualifier. It's like the joke about knowing who is a vegan: they'll tell you.

In the end it doesn't matter, but speculating is fun. It's why we're all here.

I don't even think FitGirl/EMPRESS are troons, they are just regular men LARPing as women on the Internet. This is a concept older than troons.

We used to assume in the olden days that every woman online was a man until proven otherwise for just that reason. The current generation seems to have forgotten this basic tenet to their own detriment.

Seeding this with the full power and autism of a 3rd world 1Gbps Eastern Europe optic fiber line, not yet touched by greedy Westoid corpos and the IP laws that protect them

Better fucking not be.

Completely unhinged...yet completely correct.

Oh they wear programmer socks but know it is just a fetish thing. Empress is that sissy fetish man he talks about in the NFO file.

Simple from here: since Empress is a tranny we can now ban Reddit for transphobia

 

[Fartificial Insmelligence]

Wouldn't refusing to crack Hogwarts Legacy own the trannies a lot more? and they worked in overdrive mode to crack it really fast too,in fact, exceptionally fast. Really makes you think.

Empress is one weird loony troon.

Someone else would do it and bow down to the girldick, with Empress doing it she gets to be FIRST and put her manifesto on it, and since it's already cracked there's no real impetus for others to do it now

 

[Manat]

Mild disagree there, though I see where you're coming from. That, to me, is a very Anglo/American thing and someone whose first language is not English or comes from a different cultural background is, in my experience, less likely to self-police when it comes to slurs.

I agree, it's much easier to be mean and throw slurs in a second language, at least in my experience.

 

[Rich Evans Ayypologist]

This poor, poor thread. I don't think it'll survive the featuring.

Anyways, I have absolutely no investment in this stupid game itself, but I'm absolutely jived that it's going to stay in the news cycle for another two weeks minimum because of this crack. Free entertainment! Oh, just when I was worried the screeching and endless whining was winding to its natural close, someone threw another log on the fire.

 

[A Humorless Dick]

I hope people get mad enough with Empress that some new faces will finally show up to crack Denuvo so they don't have to go through her, it's really fucking stupid how there is only one person (team?) actually making an effort to go through that shit.
Denuvo is cancer.

 

[AnOminous]

It's win-win. In fact Empress being a troon is probably ideal since it offers the greatest potential for uncoordinated infighting.

Godspeed You! Tranny Empress

We have really good slurs. It's a shame not to use them.

 

[Butter]

I don't think most men would care about trannies enough to sperg out like that,

Have you ever been to A&N?

Also he gets money out of it. All the more reason to pretend to be a woman. Besides the whole fact that doing what he does, and doing it that publicly, usually is a really bad idea. So why not pretend to be something that is the polar opposite of who you really are?

All the old school cracker types, your RELOADEDs (ex DEViANCE) etc. were super secretive, even though they were Russians and out of Uncle Sam's reach. All just because they didn't want to get in trouble, keep their jobs, and so on. Here we have someone that wants recognition by the clearweb, and money, instead of competition in a tightly knit, secure scene (which still would have busts every other month).

All I'm saying is, if I wanted simps, and remain as anonymous as possible while talking to the internet at large, I'd pretend to be something I ain't as to not give away even a shred of information out about me.

Edit: and he probably could have joined one of the old, established scene groups I'm sure. They're always looking for talent. But the scene doesn't give you as much attention and pays only in asspats from sweaty autists and free shit to download. But instead he chose money and attention by reddit of all places. He's good at what he does, and based for that spergy nfo, but also a huge attention whore and money hungry.
