What game won't they analyze to find some reason to be offended by.

The WHO is in Wuhan right now investigating. The NBA spends less time kneeled at the crotch of China.

They really have a hate boner for bill maher... It's odd coz he mostly tends to say things that would appear in line with their point of view. Personally I think he's ok, not the best of late night but above average at least.

So... I'm kinda confused here, was there ever any trigger warnings for Last of Us 2 where you : Stab a pregnant women, stab a POC, kill multiple people in horrific ways, stab dogs, torture people,.
On to the main point though... they kinda misinterpret story though , and even how one of the main villains exist but lol.

Also expecting a clean happy story of survival from Eastern Europeans is laughable. We're literally misery.
At this point, it’s like Americans trying to critique anything not made in America is tantamount to cultural appropriation and that’s baaaaaaaad.

But seriously, you can’t say a guy sticking a diamond on his forehead is dumb ‘cuz the guy in question is black (like blacks aren’t regular humans, which is pretty racist if you ask me), but it’s perfectly fine to judge anything we find strange or shocking through an all-American lens. This shit is tiring.

Started watching the video she made about it, then got sick of her stopping and saying the same things over and over instead of playing the damn game. Then I remember it’s Twitch and if she didn’t have such an in your face personality she wouldn’t be on Twitch.

The Era thread itself I has quite a few balanced opinions on it with explanations of what actually happens in the game and how it plays out and portray it when you actually finish the game (the streamer didn’t), with quite a few people being called out for emotionally reacting without having played the game.

The funniest bit is various people getting upset at someone saying “This woman” purely as a descriptor as part of a sentence and obviously having no deeper meaning.

It's the calm before the storm. Kyuuji is possibly in some discord server somewhere, claiming that Era administration are not doing enough for trans users and rallying to create a thread that will cause more drama.
I reckon mods just had enough of Kyuuji being a cunt and were looking for something minor to ping them to give them a timeout

I think it's the opposite. The posts they've made recently have been far more obnoxious. They've picked out a post that isn't as damning to give a short timeout to make it look like they're doing something. But made it very general so it doesn't 'add up'.

I am shocked that a psychological horror game isn't all sunshine and rainbows!

It's laughable it really is. What do people on Era expect? A deep examination of rape culture, paedophillia and cycles of abuse? It's a fucking video game.

The only thing shocking to me is the sheer amount of hyperbole in those tweets and the smoothbrained take that this game enforces a message wherein "victims of trauma will ALWAYS continue the cycle of abuse, are incapable of moving past what happened to them, and that the only way to stop the cycle of abuse is to die."

I don't think it's that deep, love.

I was looking at their thread related to site rules. Fuck me, they really are mental. They have specific rules on making fun of fat people, Israel and Palestine and even prostitutes. Wtf, its a gaming forum!

And loads more on respect towards women. That last one is confusing considering most on that place are nonces and women hating trannies.

GAF is better for just about everything. We just need more gaming industry types than ResetEra.. if you consider how they abuse developers over there because of things like Transgender representation (in the most trans-positive fucking game of all time, no less) they will hopefully be flocking back here.
I really doubt it. GAF did not treat developers that great back in the day- Dyack For or Against debacle, Cliffy B reportedly hated this place and said other developers did too, Jeff Bell (not a developer but a business guy) didn't have a good time. I think most online or fan outreach is gonna be through twitter nowadays.

There has been multiple threads over the years of them getting upset that villains in stories are shitty people. They get very upset when fiction isn't real life but at the same time love anime and superheroes with made up powers and abilities.

He is an atheist that loves to mock religion. Which the far Left is super cool with as long as you don't mock Islam apparently. Once he started attacking that religion, he was labeled Islamaphobic.

He is more classic liberal on free speech as well and critical of cancel culture.

Aren't there a whole bunch of romantic options in Mass Effect too? Is that not what they want? Remember the hot takes on whatever Fire Emblem game it was months before it even came out in Japan because you couldn't just make every single character gay/lesbian/bi? And that having a few characters who were openly bi was not enough!

Nothing will EVER be good enough over there. Give em an inch and they are taking the whole mile.
