🐱 Tabletop Simulator Bans Queer Player For Being Queer - Based

https://www.thegamer.com/tabletop-simulator-bans-lgbtq-player/

Tabletop Simulator recently banned a player from the global chat for saying they were trans, but when they went to developer Berserk Games to ask why, they were told that "it's not a place to discuss sexuality, fetishes, politics."

"Okay, so I've read the rules, so if I'm understanding them right, there is nothing wrong with me expressing my trans-ness or gay-ness," Xoe Allred said to moderator Jorp (as reported by GaymingMag). The mod then replied, "Maybe you didn't understand them correctly. Odds are the autoban script will ban you and not me but there's a big thing at the top, I think it's even in bold." Allred was then kicked.

The big thing in bold is a family-friendly warning, meaning that the game is parroting an outdated and bigoted mentality that being queer is somehow not family-friendly. But Allred didn't give up just then. They then went to the Discord to ask another moderator why they'd been banned but the sentiment was repeated, that being queer and talking about being queer wasn't family-friendly. So they asked if they consider LGBTQ+ inclusivity to be a fetish, but Allred didn't get a response. They then tested to see if this ban would also happen to heterosexual people discussing their sexuality, saying they were straight and cis in the chat, but nothing happened.

What's more, this has legitimized homophobic and transphobic voices in Tabletop Simulator's community as evident by the slew of recent reviews that are incredibly hateful and bigoted. One such review reads, "Tabletop Simulator is about playing tabletop games, not a place to discuss sexuality, fetishes, politics. Keep that to your private lobbies or public chats where these things are the topic at hand."

However, there are some negative reviews that highlight the queerphobia and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, saying things like "trans rights" and "we do not support any form of transphobia or homophobia."

In response, Berserk Games has taken down global chat and penned a letter, stating that it wants to reassess its moderation process as it has some "shortcomings." It states that the goal was to keep the chat "on the topic of board games" but Allred's test of saying they were straight and cis contradicts this. The point of queerness not being family-friendly also contradicts this.

REEE you can't call us gay, it's a slur. - fags

REEE you can't censor gay, it's how we identify - also fags.

They were told and warned that censorship doesn't work one way, and very rarely stops once it's started.

 

[What the shit]

Fags amirite guys?

 

[SofondaCox]

Fuck you, troon. The internet wants everyone dead, you aren't special. That 41% figure is us manifesting the change we want to see in the world, and you'll never kill our dream.

Jesus Christ nobody does annoying like these troons.

Of course this snowflake had to be from Kotaku. This fag got some unwelcome side eye at a trashy Walmart one day for being a walking gay stereotype so now he thinks that tranny jokes are gay death threats and probably can't sleep without his lavender scented weighted blanket. Maybe if they actually played the game instead of broadcasting their queerness allover global chat shit like this wouldn't happen.

Looking through the game’s Steam reviews, I learned a bunch of new and terrible facts and acronyms, all of which were repeatedly plastered through the “Positive” review section. “YWNBAW,” for example, is shorthand for “You will never be a woman,” a phrase which appears well over half a dozen times in both longform and abbreviated iterations.

YWNBAW can also stand for"You Would Not Boink A Whale" so assuming it's transphobia when it's really fatphobia is very narcissistic and dismissive of fattys and the people who want to boink them.

Histrionic, as usual. People making fun of you ≠ wanting you dead. Stop being obnoxious and maybe people will accept you.

Or at least leave you alone...... the worst thing you can do on the internet is say "this is my berserk button, do not push it"

 

[winterfag]

However, being queer and alive in a society that—despite what progress there has been—is built around policing identity, means that regardless of my desires I will be subjected to people talking about my death.

Yes, this is the sole reasons societies were built throughout history, to be mean to sensitive genderspecials

 

[LazloChalos]

Using game reviews to review anything other than the game itself is a a good indicator that the reviewer should be barred from making reviews.

Degenerates ruin everything.

YWNBAW can also stand for"You Would Not Boink A Whale" so assuming it's transphobia when it's really fatphobia is very narcissistic and dismissive of fattys and the people who want to boink them.

It would also be fursecution because plenty of furries are sexually attracted to cetaceans. How can you be on the right side of history when you're dismissing the struggle that zoophiles face every day?

 

[Stoneheart]

I like tabletop playground more anyway...

 

[ClackAlAcka]

The person in question was rightfully banned.

This is why the USA and the UK both need to be nuked. When there is mass devastation and widespread warfare, there is no time for these insane people to have their attention wants met.

They will either shape up or be fodder and trampled underfoot.

The troon was talking about “cute boy buttholes” in fucking global chat. Meaning any kid saw an adult troon talking about his delight in children’s assholes. THAT is what got him temp banned. The rest was just the troon setting up this scam.

Troons are not happy until they can run a grooming gang in every game.

Need more of this. Actual women are bad enough for games but trannies just go out of their way to make everyone miserable.
