NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

[Gottahavemysips]

The game wasn't even that pro conservative, there were a couple of Trump jokes sprinkled in.

No, their problem was that the cult wasn't Christian Trump supporters lynching minorities. A lot of these people were practically salivating over the thought of getting to gun down "bigots", but they got pissed when they found out the cult was just a doomsday cult that used an utterly bastardized take on Christianity (and had some black members in their ranks).

Thus, they took their anger out on the game by docking points off their reviews for it being too "cowardly" and "apolitical".

Far Cry 5 actually had some really competent writing. See below, since I fucked up my original reply.

I'm playing through Far Cry 5 right now, actually. And yes, the 'conservatives' (that you rescue, defend, and recruit) are just a bunch of redneck country folk clad in stars and bars. Sharky asks at one point if the "orange guy with bad hair" is still President. Leftover notes and audio logs refer to Eden's Gate as a bunch of freedom hating hippies, but every militia group, in both the Resistance and the cult, is multiracial.

So yeah, it's obvious they just wanted an outlet where they could kill paranoid caricatures of the people they hate. It's apolitical because Christ if they just can't have fun and blow shit up without it sucking them off first.

I like the game a lot, by the way. I have found one quest so far that I cannot finish because it's glitched.

The cult makes a lot of sense in terms of its multiracial composition. The writers took many aspects of the Project at Eden's Gate from other cults, primarily the Rajneeshis, in terms of taking over a rural area, but you also get a lot of influences from other cults like the Jim Jones cult as well as the Branch Davidians. They take a few jabs at conservatism, but they actually treated rural conservatives with a lot more respect than I expected. To go back to my point about the composition of the cult, it was founded in Louisiana, it wasn't some homegrown Montana movement. Competent writing takes you a long way. It's the same shit as when journalists were up in arms over Left 4 Dead 2 because so many of the zombies were black, when it's literally set in Louisiana.
The Far Cry team is actually really good in terms of writing, and I think they get far less credit than they deserve for it.

Oh Christ, I'd forgotten all about that.

Houston Chronicle: Is Racism Becoming a Norm in Gaming? | GamePolitics

web.archive.org

I am disturbed by the growing trend of racist undertones that are cropping up in video games.

One of the games that comes to mind is "Left 4 Dead 2." ...Set in New Orleans, players will have to fight their way through hordes of zombies - with several of them who appear to be African-Americans. When I saw the first trailer for the game, all I could think about was Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath...

The game that really inspired this blog entry was Ubisoft's "Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood." The game starts out with players assuming the role of Ray, a Confederate officer... the Confederacy, as far as I am concerned, wanted to keep their cheap slave labor and the like. I can not stand the Confederate flag... To me, the flag represents hate -- and offends me and many others to no end. [It] made me wonder how much research Ubisoft did for this game...

As a minority, had the South won, I wouldn't be in this position I am today...

Trump is visiting my city tonight

I have to be at work in a bit, so I’m gonna miss anything that happens. Haven’t heard of any counter-protests or anything. Have only heard that the way I take home will be closed, so I’ll have to take a different way. Doesn’t really seem like that big of an event in my social bubble.

New episode of South park is out, and it's about trans athletes:

South Park S23 |OT| #abolishserializations

I guess we will see if there’s a pay off for having a focus on Tegridy Farms the first half of the season

www.resetera.com

They are not raging enough. We need Chebo, Relief and others unhinge.

I don't want to tell to anyone what to do, but a tread addressing the episode's blatantly transphobia would be great. We need to keep this normies in line.

Once the narrative is fully set in the new topic that its cancellation time for NUCLEAR TRANSPHOBIA, those posting in the OT that they enjoyed the episode need to be reported.

Remember, none of them actually need to watch the episode, just scream transphobic because someone else told them to. A great skill of these people, being mindless cult members.







Good luck friend, may your account RIP.

It's funny how South Park is great when it makes fun of things they want or aligns with their politics, but it's an outrage if it doesn't.

These people have long been the puritans and gatekeepers they probably used to say were the assholes. I genuinely think Resetera would now agree with Jack Thompson if he came back.

No wonder the hate for the trans community is only intensifying. They hardly ever send their best to represent them.

Why do we never see transmen wanting to compete against men in sports? We're waiting for the answer Resetera. Makes you think.

Based troons online are loving it

Genuinely makes me laugh when I see wrong-think LGBT members having fun and not taking themselves seriously then you let the inmates at Resetera see that and their blood boils and accusations of self-hating and internalized transphobia come reeeeeing from them.

Adding insult to injury, the episode itself was genuinely just bad. First miss of the season and damn, what a big yikes of an episode.

www.resetera.com

And he's dead.

There are lolcows on the internet and then there is genuinely shitty people. The troon community on Resetera is full of the worst most unhinged and aggressive shitty people on the internet. People that probably do deserve to join the 41% club because of how awful they are.

Funnily enough, that's what that "lady" called PC Principal when he was barely tolerating "her" bullshit.

Soon as I saw that "lady" competing in that competition, I knew ResetERA would throw a shitfit over it.

 

[UnclePhil]

I can't wait to watch the new South Park tonight. Casually enjoying something these people want erased is the butter on my popcorn.

Where is the communication from mods/admins on trans topics?

Couldn't find the list of active admins and mods to message them privately, but honestly this is probably a better conversation to have in the open anyway. Xaszatm made this wonderful thread (https://www.resetera.com/threads/we-need-to-talk-about-responding-to-trans-related-issues.151194/)...

www.resetera.com

Remember how all the troons went crazy because they didn't get their demand for a topic stickied? They're back for round 2.

Not enough bans, not enough trans lunacy being thrown in everyone's faces, mods being called out and told they are pieces of shit....



Isamu Fukui with the galaxy brain idea of giving these people immunity.

Thank you! Appreciate the responses. As for the bolded: Understood, and I see that happen quite often. I myself have been accused of JAQing off (I didn't even know what that was, either) in another thread regarding these issues. I was met with hostility and wasn't really sure why, but I guess...

Runs off to this topic now that his is locked.

I love the admins and mods getting dragged by the same people they let destroy the forum.

Haven’t watched it properly in many a year, but there are a fair few genuinely great episodes out there. Enjoy them. I'm good.

They're also not happy with the mod comment in the South Park topic.

We're reaching some sort of boiling point with these troons. Your forum is on the line Isamu Fukui.



The Chinese dictator has been messaged, he can't stay in hiding any longer. The troons demand a blood sacrifice.

Wait...They are banning all the trans, non-binary and asexu--Incels ?

Ketkat decided to release the inner circle arguments, drama and call out staff members. If there's one thing being a troon won't protect you from in Isamu Fukui's mini-China, it's leaking intelligence.

Robin is the moderator Ketkat is in a relationship with. Or I should say, ex-moderator. With Robin off the staff, Isamu isn't going to put up with Ketkat leaking inside info.

To think Hillary Clinton and South Park would give Resetera the push it needed to implode.

 

[Thinfont]

Hmm, more of a shitstorm. Away from the strawmen and into ripping a million needles out of haystacks at once -- I should say, the needles disguised as straw.

Wonder what'll happen with Isamu and Ketkat now, huh.

The first part is a good first step as it is actually addressing an issue that has been a long running issue on this site and online in general. Outrage culture, left eating itself, woke culture, and bad faith arguing are all used incorrectly by people and used primarily as a way to dismiss...

So, you guys think this episode will stir more shit than Band in China did?

 

[MichaelScott]

Is that a ban request??

Sooo, what exactly started all this shit storm?? I mean, trans getting banned?? That's hardcore stuff in resetera. Is the asylum finally making implosion?

 

[Vault Boy]

Sooo, what exactly started all this shit storm??

South Park's latest episode depicted trans female athletes in a less than flattering light. The "woman" in question was basically Randy Savage if he "identified" as female, and "she" ended up winning all sorts of women's sport competitions (one scene even showed "her" beating the shit out of a woman while boxing).

Needless to say, ResetERA took the episode rather poorly.
