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

"Dear person wondering if it is transphobic not to want to have sex with trans people of the gender or genders you are attracted to, on the basis that they are trans.

OF COURSE IT IS.

Here is the analogy I like to use. You meet someone. You find them attractive. You are eager to get it on with them, and you *then* discover that one of their parents are black, and you no longer want to have sex with them. That's clearly racist. If you aren't attracted to people who look a particular way (hair color, physique, etc etc)... that's not something you can really help. But if finding something out about their history or DNA is the *sole* reason you are no longer attracted to them?

Yeah. You're a bigot."

It is impressive.
In just 4 years they have banned more people than most forum have unique visitors during their entire lifetime.

View attachment 2658930

They have during their lifetime had ~104k unique users on the site (earlier in their thread). And of these 104k signups they have managed to ban basically half their userbase.
Jesus fucking christ.
What thread is this? Have they really gone and banned half the user base?

Look here for the ~50k bans. An Admin even confirms it.

Look here for the total signups ~104k:


It is not super surprising since they seem to have hair-triggers for the permanent ban button.
It is impressive though. And now they wonder why the site is declining and stagnating.

If I were the new owners I would definitely reign in the ban-party they have.
 
That 104K number includes accounts that were created but never approved (either by admins or by the person not clicking the link in the email), Hecht claims they reject 95% of account registrations due to having "racist e-mails" so....

The entire basis for this thread's crazy theory is that people can't tell before seeing genitalia when someone is trans, especially trans women.
 

In the latest scheme to oppress RetardEra users, FarCry 6 is sending players emails mocking them for quitting the game.

Seems like the thread is mostly backfiring, I wonder if the mods will start “cleaning” it up for all the wrong think.

This guy wants to be angry, but doesn’t even know what he’s supposed to be angry about:

Anyway I think this is a great idea, and someone needs to take it further. How about a game that sends people insulting emails for playing on the easiest difficulty? Even better, call them out on Twitter for it.

Looks like a bunch of people that are gonna join the 50k real soon.
 
Jason Schreier is all over Twitter today regarding his links to Blizzard and, so far claimed unwillingness to cover and or actively not reporting on insider information he had for the Blizzard situation. Can anyone give me a tl;dr?
He's a Sinophile like most modern "journalists" and dares not criticize anything China-adjacent. He's also a cynical hypocrite (again like most modern "journalists") who only gossips about approved targets he knows won't claw back. He's also undoubtedly friends (or at least on cordial terms) with the higher-ups at Blizzard and doesn't want to cause problems for his friendly contacts there.

Honestly this is one of the big reasons why game journalism is shit. It's all a clique. A LOT of them are close friends with people in the industry, are well aware of the bad shit going on behind the scenes, but they can't say anything or they and everyone they know will lose their jobs. it eats away at them inside and so they try to find petty ways to lash out at it without ACTUALLY saying what's going on, which in turn confuses their non-Californian readers and then they label their readers the problem. Please excuse me for bringing it up but everything they said about GamerGate was really them complaining about Blizzard and the like (rest assured this shit is going down at other companies too) but blaming it on someone else. CLEARLY the problem was videogames and not a toxic corporate culture born from people with poor social skills suddenly gaining obscene amounts of power.

It's really annoying. There's a certain streamer I watch who knows people at SEGA, knows EXACTLY why PSO2 took 8 years to come to America, but is not allowed to say it. I know that seems unrelated but it's a good example of what's going on: There's a clique of people who know a lot of dirty secrets about the game industry and just CANNOT say ANYTHING or everyone they know loses their jobs.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that a friend of the aformentioned streamer who ALSO knows what's going on but can't say anything repeatedly laughs at his own chat, reminding them "Whatever you THINK is going on in the industry is wrong and it's usually the opposite". He tries to keep it in check but this is a good example of why journos often become arrogant fucks: Because they KNOW things, they aren't allowed to say them, and then when they watch their readers grasp at straws trying to figure out what's going on they're completely off base. But they're not allowed to actually INFORM their readers so they choose to laugh at them instead for being so stupid.

This lesbian porn actress turned down a job after finding out the woman she'd be shooting with was trans. She later apologized for that (though she shouldn't need to). So women are crawling out of the woodwork to say she raped them during a lapdance or in a bathroom or something. Just more proof that going against the trans agenda will get you destroyed.

And because she made that initial apology for that one thing, Platy takes that as admission to being a serial rapist.

They always say things like this. They always include the disclaimer about preferences - because they know that if someone says 'I'm just attracted to redheads' or 'I'm an ass man' then to tell them they're wrong for that will get widespread pushback, and is right on the line of calling people homophobic for not having sex with someone of their own gender.

But if you're not attracted to people who look a particular way (genitals, wounds where genitals should be, etc etc)? Suddenly you're a genital fetishist and still transphobic (even though by their morality that's some kind of kink-shaming) and it's no longer enough to have a preference "that's not something you can really help". Almost as if, like these lesbians are saying, they are getting pressured, even if they are theoretically willing until they find out the person is trans. And as we all know, they believe troons pass way better than they actually do, and they seem to have no compunction about being delusional and lying about how much people want to have sex with them.

Also, actual women are socialised differently growing up and are less likely to make a scene, especially with someone who has the height and weight advantage of a man and could cause them real physical, and now social, harm, along with being proven to be delusional. So I somehow think it's more likely that a bunch of troons (more MtF than FtM, but the FtMs do give it a go sometimes) are basically chatting to women they find attractive, making a pass, and then ignoring all signs that the other person isn't interested through a combination of autism and wilfully ignoring the signs to try and pressure them into saying yes. And like with all things, when a troon gets told no it can only be because of transphobia, not any other reason. And not wanting to have sex with someone because they're trans should be as valid reason as any to not want to have sex with them - but what the other person wants suddenly doesn't matter as much as what the troon wants, which is how they operate their whole lives.

Tl;dr: to troons and their handmaidens, no means no unless a troon wants to fuck you, in which case you have to or you're a Nazi alt-right TERF transphobic bigot who deserves to die. Doesn't matter if your orientation is superstraight or supergay or even just 'no crazies' - your choice only matters until a troon's feelings get involved.
