Most people have a different user name on here to there psn account, so would not be an issue.

The Fucking MAN.
I'm not being controlled tho. I don't HAVE to not say ally; I don't HAVE to respect people's pronouns. I don't HAVE to refrain from hate speech (as long as it does not incite violence). I choose to do so because the value and kindness of doing so has been explained to me (and by people who are oppressed and/or suffer for simply being who they are, no less). The right leaning folks have this irrational fear about being controlled. I get the RATIONAL fear of that, we should always be guarded to protect our freedoms. But as of late the right have taken this rational fear and shot it full of steroids to scare people into voting the way they desire.

Watch the damn video in the OP for your answer and don't bait post.

I totally agree that the right can get a bit hysterical about this stuff, and often try to convince myself that it's largely confined to online or Twitter or whatever.
But I find it harder and harder to convince myself the last few months. More and more of the people in their 20s I meet now seem to parrot this stuff unquestioningly.
I don't tend to worry about much at all tbh - I'm mega liberal in pretty much every respect - but I do get angry when I see people being intolerant towards others, and it seems to me that the authoritarians are accruing a bit more power than is ideal right now. And that's a problem whether it comes from the PC left or the right as a reaction against it.
I know politics is a no-no, the republicans love their culture war crap (some on the left are stupid for giving them ammo) for voting because they have no real policies apart from reducing the deficit which they never seem to be able to do but moving on.
I think you are just seeing bad systems not in terms of intent but just flexibility.

They didn't watch it, probably just saw the thumbnail and didn't like homosexual references used on a game aimed towards kids/everyone.
Justified it by saying it was Jaffe hate speeching, but it's actually a business move to please potential complaints from homophobic parents.

Raises all kinds of questions about whether Rachet/Rivet wants to have a sexual relationship with effectively themselves? or it is a platonic love?

Yeah, my bad. Watched the video and it's clear what David's stance is on the matter. This is literally a 'walking on eggshells' era that we are entering, and the fact that you can be Thanos'd in a blink is really concerning.

There's a line of thinking that tech companies are predominantly full of white employees.

Oh, it was actually about race? I thought maybe it was a pun about everything being the colour white or something.
Jesus, I never expected Sony to let racist shit in their games, but here were are, I guess

"Uptight muthafuckas" 
I love it when people speak from the heart man. So funny and genuine. Obviously someone has watched it, got assmad and shared it so it became 'trending'. It's probably been mass reported by the internet mob squad. Let's face it jaffe cake you aren't exactly liked by the reeee crowd and that brand is on you forever now mate. Sony will take the easy way out and just block it because the risk just isn't worth it. Your own allies etc. don't even come to your defence, so why would a corporation? There are no cons to taking it down except you getting indignant and the reeee crowd celebrating a win by deliberately twisting your words.
In short, just be content with what you put out

You can make a joke about anything you like, just don't expect a multi-national corporation to publish it for you.

Platforms like PSN and XBL will start to suffer as backlash against this type of thing, it’s only a matter of time.
You should be able to make jokes about whoever and whatever you like as long as it’s not done in an obviously derogatory or purely hateful way.
For example, how does a non-binary samurai kill? They/him. Badum tshhhh. You’re welcome.

So you're free as long as you don't offend anyone?
The fact that you've been unjustly banned for making a non-derogatory lesbian joke should give you reason for concern. It doesn't matter if you can just make a new account, an injustice has been committed, "hate-speech" rules have been applied wrongly and comedic expression has been stifled. Your account is of second concern to the draconian application of these rules.
Apathy has never ever helped anyone and you obviously cared enough to upload a 12 minute long video rant about it. Those who abuse these rules to bring down the boot on other people certainly do not practice apathy, on the contrary!
Despite being a supporter of your queer son and brother, you've been banned for spreading hate against sexual minorities. Does that not make you think? Where do you draw the line?
Being a supporter does not mean degrading yourself to an uncritical follower, which is exactly what being an "ally" is all about nowadays. No human being deserves to be degraded to a "shut up and listen" ideological serf. You can be supportive of something while also remaining critical of certain unjust aspects. One does not exclude the other and I think that this "all or nothing" attitude is largely detrimental to the acceptance of LGBTQ minorities.
Making lesbian jokes does not imply that you hate queers. The unnuanced conflation of these differences and the ruthless misapplication of these "hate-speech" rules are causing great damage to the general acceptance of queer people. As if gays were unable to make the difference between a harmless joke and rhetorical discrimination.
In that regard, context matters and your unjustified ban is nothing to simply gloss over. The people who are here to defend your right to express yourself do not deserve to be insulted. You should be more worried about the social justice vultures that are circling above your head right now, lest you be declared persona non grata per social media decree.

I wish I would be not lazy enough to use Linux.
Is it capable of running everything, nowadays?
Seems Sony is pandering to the small percenters. The vast majority of players wouldn't care or even have heard about what you said.
Why Sony would care about what you said is even dumber.
People need to learn that if you can't help each other, can't live together, and can't respect each other, then peacefully go your separate ways.

I can't imagine Mel Brooks making Blazing Saddles today. They would've burned him in the stake or something.

How many people complain about Steam tho? Most if not all love it, not without reasons. You can have the same type of service, the same concept, but who and how runs it makes all the difference. Recent CP2077 and refunds being an example, where every store out there didn't have any issue, except Sony. The whole cross-gen policy. And so on. It's been like that in the past years (with that awful #4theplayers campaign), whenever anyone is doing something that seems simple, obvious, logical, it's always Sony that has some problem following suit, actually going the opposite route.
But it's not without a reason tho, Sony is slowly (but successfully, I give them that) copying Apple's model, where they're creating this ecosystem closed behind an iron curtain, which you either (blindly) love because you feel it's some sort of a premium brand/experience, or you want to stay away from it as far as possible because you know you'll have to dance how they play. At current pace, when PS6 launches it'll be at least 599$ with no controller and HDMI cable in the box, and their fanatics will defend them for it, claiming stuff like "well obviously, I already have a DS, even two, and you can't improve perfection, why would I need 3rd controller for?", "it's 2030, who doesn't have an HDMI cable at home lol" etc.
So please, don't compare Steam that's been there for ages and it THE example to follow, to those scums from Sony, it's not the same league, not even the same game.
Wow, fucking excellent post.

yeah that's the plausible denial if they get called out on the social commentary.
That Rowan Atkinson speech was brilliant, thanks for this. Too bad things seems to have gotten worse since.

It is moronic and plain stupid to ban David Jaffe for homophobia and white supremacism, doesn't make sense at all. Anybody who watched his videos knows he's antiracist and supports LGTB.
I think that even the most retardedly woke human mod will lift the ban if
davidjaffe
contacts them. I think it must have happened due to some automatic algorythm or a few sjw resetera mods trying to bully him.
If you post something as innocent as 'I like pineapple and ham pizza' a massive mob of 'offended' people could report you for that, some of them offended vegans and the other ones because you put pineapple on pizza. There's nothing wrong on putting ham or pineapple on a pizza and you should be free to say you like that.
The problem is not you saying that, the problem is them getting offended and censoring you. If it's really an issue for them (spoiler: it isn't, they are just bullying and virtua signalling to be more accepted/appreciated by their tribe), they should visit a mental health professional (which should be free for everybody btw) instead of destroying free speech allowing to say only what the self proclaimed offended ones.
I understand to ban real hate, people asking for violence against certain groups, like people of certain skin colors (whites too), sexual preferences (hetero too), etc. But as you mention, stuff like unharmful jokes and commentary should be allowed.

It’s a children’s game and you used sensitive “lesbian” word. It got into trending and someone complained. My guess is that was the trigger. Oh, and you‘re Sony’s outcast so it was easy picking.
But man, what an irony, creator of arguably their most famous franchise gets banned by the company itself. Any other examples where person that was flying so high in this industry came crashing down so hard by becoming some low-view obscure youtuber?
