Polyamory is good, but only if the male is a cuck sharing his wife or a faggot, otherwise it's misogynistic and awful.
In other words, Resetera is mad at an anime game for boys featuring popular troupes from anime for boys.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3

Context: XC2 ends with an implied harem ending, where the 3 main girls express their love to the main character and he says "I love you all guys".
Now with XC3 release, they confirm the harem with a picture showing that the main character had kids with all 3 girls.

Those imaginary anime women didn’t consent to polygamy. They’re only being forced into such a humiliating relationship to satisfy the male gaze of the developers.

I’ve reported Nintendo to the UN Human Rights Council for this egregious violation of the bodily autonomy of fictional women. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Seems being gay with a partner while sleeping around is the rule, not the exception there.

I'm guessing getting vaxxed does not stop you spreading it to other guys right? Not that they care about anyone but themselves.

The smallpox vaccine provides immunity that's actually sterilizing, unlike the COVID cockup. If people take the old fashioned version from the 70s they won't transmit it.

 

[Druveer]

All these "social activists" who apparently either don't remember, never learned about or just flat out don't fucking care about the 80s aids crisis work their hardest to replicate it.
Fucking bug chasing degenerates.

Wonder who they'll blame for it this time around, Reagan is long dead and a democrat is in office. SOMEHOW THIS WILL BE A REPUBLICANS FAULT.

 

[Metropolitan]

It's absolutely wishful thinking. The two or three actual developers they have, combined with memories of NeoGAF's glory years, has made them think there are tons of industry people discussing things with them. But the actual few they have are little fish and nutcases. And Jason Schreier only comes by to stroke his ego and defend his honor.

REAL QUESTION:

How many legitimate developers are left on ResetEra? I don't care whether they're indies or work for major publishers, but it seems like most of them either left a long time ago or were banned (RIP Stinkles/Frank O'Connor). I don't mean the ones that check in with a single post every 6-12 months, but the people that actually risk their account and reputation by participating on at least a monthly basis.

I noticed Welltall Zero got axed pretty recently:

5 year member, 19000 posts, and got swiftly erased without much thought. Just the usual "History of bad behavior" explanation.

Been watching the Age of Samurai documentary on Netflix (I recommend if you're into Japanese history) and while Googling about it stumbled across a thread on it on Resetera. Saw this:

View attachment 3523851

Also in that same thread a person described the constant warfare between the clans as "othering" each other.

So it's that kinda website, huh?

They probably would prefer subtitled Japanese historians rather than just asking some American experts on Japanese History to do the talking as was probably done.

Same information but one just feels so much more authentic! (Remember, they're the progressives.)

The smallpox vaccine provides immunity that's actually sterilizing, unlike the COVID cockup. If people take the old fashioned version from the 70s they won't transmit it.

The one they're giving out is the vaccine from the stockpiles, the "new" one they're making to replace it I think the main difference is just that production methods have changed and updated. I would assume the US stockpiles are probably pretty old.

I was going to say there's still a few but then I saw your qualifier about how often they post and I can think of maybe like two. The one guy from DICE posts in many of the outrage threads and there's some low level guy at some indie dev who posts around. There are a couple dev accounts that stick to only threads about their actual games, answering questions or helping people with problems, have never seen them respond to anything else as they don't seem to be stupid.

There's a handful of people who say stuff like "as someone who works in the industry" but none of them are verified (smart!) and never specify what they actually do so they could be anybody or just making it up. They always seem to just agree with the mass line.

N-Word-Dubs has to be the biggest cuck on the site, with Nepenthe being the biggest nigger, and Larry being the biggest crazy incel troon.

It's interesting how much they fight over Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Recently there was this thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-am-in-love-with-xenoblade-2-so-far-does-it-get-worse-or-something-no-spoilers.607962/

This guy got the impression from Resetera that XC2 was some kind of abomination, but he starts playing it, and it turns out he loves it. What follows is page after page of praise for the game because it turns out a ton of them really enjoyed it, but they shut their mouths until they felt like it was okay to say so.

Of course there's the occasional "I hated the character designs" post. But later, much further in, a guy creates a second account just to crap on the game instead of using his regular account. That struck me as odd since you'd think he would feel totally safe to slam the game on Resetera with his original account.

Anyway, it's like you suspect... Resetera has an undercurrent of "normies" who stay quiet so as not to raise the ire of the site's "aristocracy". We could already tell from the frequent polls that seem to backfire.

At my current count, there's at least two or three devs.

There is elenaire from DICE (I believe that's the person you are thinking of), but I think (s)he is just a community manager so they may not actually count as a developer.

There is also Osu 16 Bit, from Netherrealm Studios.....their current position is as a "QA Analyst", so I'm not sure if that qualifies as a developer either. Does playtesting count as development? Osu is probably the most prolific dev on ResetEra, but still doesn't venture that far outside of Mortal Kombat/Netherrealm topics.

There is also werezompire from Zeboyd Games, and I think one other person from Zeboyd.

I also think there's an aspect here where they don't care about that shit so they don't go into the threads in the first place. They probably want to talk about Xenoblade or Cyberpunk or Smash Bros the game not whether some tweet indicates that everyone involved in the game is a secret Nazi trying to Genocide the troons.

Think about how we all know now how to spot a harmless seeming thread that you just know has gone to shit, there's probably thousand of users there doing the same thing. And if they open a thread and see its gone to shit they just nope out.

The mass majority of people everywhere, there, here, on Twitter, etc. are not the ones making the most noise. It's very easy to forget when you see PlanetSmasher, Crossing Eden, excelsiorlef, ZeoVGM, AirdropShitposts, Kyuuji, etc. all replying to each other and amping each other up that they're each just one dude.

At my current count, there's at least two or three devs.

If we don't count community managers and QA people then the "glory days" of GAF probably only had a couple handfuls of devs. I'd count them because I personally know a couple who went on to become actual producers, and I know of a lot more who did.

There's also people like old GAF janny bishoptl who was in the industry and I suppose technically still is but doesn't actually seem to be still working anywhere but is contracting.

Era has always seemed to prefer games journalists and self-declared "games journalists" over actual people in the industry though.

 

[José Mourinho]

I don't know how and why ResetERA really got pissed off about the harem marriage to begin with (and it involves polyamory which would be something they'd like), and how is this even related to Roe v. Wade? Because babies which are related to abortions?

 

[Jambi]

They probably would prefer subtitled Japanese historians rather than just asking some American experts on Japanese History to do the talking as was probably done.

Same information but one just feels so much more authentic! (Remember, they're the progressives.)

The documentary actually has a couple of Japanese experts, alongside the "old ass white dudes". I'm not sure how much of the documentary those people actually watched.

What these people don't understand is the logistics of making a documentary. It's an American produced documentary, so it would be a lot cheaper to get American experts in, because it saves them having to fly over to Japan, or fly the Japanese experts into the US. The expert talking heads in these documentaries are usually filmed in post-production. Surely that makes sense?

"No, no, it's because racism and whitewashing!"

Abortion was banned so showing happy women who wanted to have children is triggering to all the brave trans women being forced to give birth by Papist President Biden and his Catholic Cabal Court.

Basically demanding that everyone else share in your suffering and victimhood complex.

Sorry, I don't consider "QA analysts" or "Community managers" devs. These make up the majority of the "verified" badges there.

I think you're right about that. I remember back at about 2014 when NeoGAF was starting to get bad, but I still wanted to enjoy it as a place to discuss games. I'd see a thread created about Anita Sarkeesian and before I could click on it I'd think, "Just stay out. JUST STAY OUT." Before long I was confining myself to JUST the gaming side of the forum... but soon even that was littered with minefield threads.
