Cyberpunk 2077 tweet makes light hearted joke about gender spectrum [up: tweet deleted]

Mocking exactly what about "SJW"?

Quit being fucking dense you know exactly what it's mocking. It's intentionally turning "SJW" (i.e. trans people and those that care about them) into a hyperbolic caricature in order to laugh at them and make them the butt of a joke because they have the fucking audacity to ask that they be properly addressed by who they are. It's not funny. It's offensive.
If they are being laughed at it has nothing to do with them being trans but just with them being "idiots" or crazy people like Brianna Wu. I have seen a lot of trans people using this meme or the attack helicopter one because they are fed up with these people as well.

Honestly I do not not like people like Carolyn Petit because she is trans but because she is an asshole. If you are mocked for following a cultish like ideology than you either argue against it, ignore it or attack these people. But when you hide from it by using your trans card you deserve to be mocked. I treat everyone the same and I do not care if you are trans or not. You do not get a special bonus for being trans, black, white, men or women.

And again this gender part is not about trans people it is about all the fucking other gender people have invented already. I already posted a video about this. This gender meme ist not because of trans people.....

Oh god this site has become an embarrassment.
so you think the people who liked the tweet are now going to cost them sales since they removed it, but you don't think that the people who were offended by the tweet were going cost them sales if they kept it up?

Ok lol
In my therory people who were offended by this would have not bought it in the first place. Example Austin Walker who would have just demanded a free press copy or he will write an awful article how they did not get a free press copy. People who are now outraged are mostly gamer most gamer hate PC culture.

You can see this result with Battlefiled V right now. Will it be as bad? No it will not but I am sure it will not help them at all that they deleted the tweet. Again this outrage the comments etc are now much much more than they were before.

AGain do you give into terrorists demand? I do not. People take this free speech and anti PC culture pretty seriously now they have way more outrage because they did this. It was a stupid decision to do this because now they have outraged the people who actually would have bought the game. So yes it costs sales

I get why they did it, they don't need a pack of crazed twitter & game journalist SJWs rampaging against them & their upcoming game. It was a business decision and I'm not outraged they took it down, but I would have preordered 2 if they'd left it up 😁

Actually it's fucking hilarious, now run back along to the snowflake thunderdome.
 
I am amused that so many people are offended by the fact that other people found the tweet to be offensive.
Are they offended...or are they laughing.

I don't see anyone here calling to boycott a company for taking down a tweet. That seems to be more your thing
 
So is this RDreamer account a parody? It's hard to tell.
When someone possessing empathy feels like a parody you should probably check yourself.

Where the fuck are you even getting Brianna Wu or Carolyn Petit. Where did this turn into some sort of weird Gamergate manifesto here?

The invented gender shit is hyperbolic nonsense to make fun of legitimate discourse and empathy directed toward those that actually don't fit directly into just one of two genders. How the fuck is making fun of "assuming someone's gender" not making fun of trans people? How does it have nothing to do with them at all? How about just get some goddamned empathy for marginalized people? If a joke is offensive to a large amount of them then just believe them. It's offensive to my trans friends and instead of arguing about "well, actually," I just don't fucking say it. Because I don't need to say it. Because I care about them as people. I care about their livelihood and their mental health.

Actually it's fucking hilarious, now run back along to the snowflake thunderdome.

Oh, now I get it. It's so fucking hilarious to make fun of the marginalized group and those that care about them because they ask to be identified in a way that more properly fits their existence and that inconveniences my privilege. hahahahaha. Oh god, it's so good and man is it original. I totally wasn't hearing that [checks notes] two years ago.

Some of the ban reasons on that other side is hilarious. Anything that isn't complete outrage is considered "downplaying transphobia" and warrants a ban. Ridiculous!

Cut the "empathy" crap already. Your pretensions are transparent
 
I mean the best thing would be to ignore the complaints but taking it down and apologizing is still preferable to throwing insults around like Sony and Lucasfilm.

Oh, you're actually serious. Oh dear.

You are trying way too hard to impress people who, in the main, simply aren't impressed by your particular brand of empty bullshit and bluster.

But, on the bright side, I know a place where they simply lap this kind of nonsense up. :pie_smfaceyes:

No it is making fun of this here.

Pronoun-cards-2016-02-1024x585.png


It is making fun of genderlists containing 1000 different genders etc.

Also how many trans people were offended? What is a large amount? 5? Because that is what it was most people offended by it were people like Walker totally straight people who got brainwashed thinking it is offensive.

I have empathy for your parents, I'm sure your mother wishes she had swallowed.

Lol at this, how many ginger people get mocked almost to suicide, not to mention people with features that stand out..... big noses, ears, too skinny, too fat, hunchbacked or whatever.....

I've seen so called 'sjw', 'liberals' like the YouTuber "Destiny" use the word "retarded" like it's going out of style.

You can't protect people against offense and people need to know that they're not perfect, they are not beyond criticism or being verbally attacked. The only valid response is to be tough and not take yourself so seriously. In other words: grow up! (People in general)

Growing up shouldn't mean bullying everyone who's different. It should be realizing that bullying for any reason whatsoever is wrong. It should mean protecting those who are bullied and siding with them along with realizing when you're doing it yourself.

You can't protect people but you can lear to reduce it and not condone it.

And it doesn't fucking matter where the offense is coming from. There's a pretty large 'feminist' contingent that is very transphobic for instance. Just because you label yourself as left or liberal or feminist or whatever that doesn't mean you're perfect. If you're out there repeatedly using words like "retarded" then you also deserve to be called on it.
 
I think this thread may be heading a bit in the wrong direction.
R RDreamer I think there's a line between empathy and getting offended in other people's place because of jokes or words like "retarded"

Finding a joke funny doesn't mean you're ass-blasting every single living transperson. You've gotta be serious with this mentality. Legitimate trans people shouldn't be offended by things like this. Trans people who don't go through anything out of the ordinary to change their current gender to the other one other then calling themselves trans and labeling themselves as females. Are the ones that are freaking out. As far as I can tell. And anyone else freaking out aka ERA is just a bunch of people to scared to show their actual opinions to everyone around them because their afraid of their "friends" getting offended and dropping them.

This should be a lighthearted joke, there's plenty of them around if you're offended to the point where you say this joke is making them less human then my friend you're a lost cause.

Trans people aren't out there looking to be offended. They live in fear of correcting someone misgendering them because sometimes they literally get murdered when doing so. People purposefully will dead name them or misgender them even after being corrected. A lighthearted joke doesn't poke fun at the death of a marginalized group. A lighthearted joke is like... a joke about what you ate for breakfast or something else inconsequential. Continually portraying trans people as perpetually offended elitists is not lighthearted. It's also not funny.

And saying legitimate trans people shouldn't be offended by things like this is completely ridiculous. You don't get to define what 'legitimate' trans people can or should be offended by.
 
Here's a question, that I can hopefully be educated on, with the apparent endless amount of genders, do people just make their own up? I.e I feel a certain way so I invent words and pronouns to desribe as such?

No Trans people do not go around being offended. Feminists do and if they are trans feminist they are probably offended by it. Also it does not make fun of killing trans people wtf......

And again it does not go against Trans people but Feminists. If they are trans feminists tough luck. They are still getting only mocked because they are feminists not trans.

If you are a trans person, on Twitter and you are offended by a harmless joke from a videogame studio,

1. You are privileged
2. You are looking to be offended.

To imply that somehow this joke is misgendering and causing people to die is hillarious. Like I said, your faux "empathy" is transparent

Basically, but you missed an important step. You have to dye your hair pink and claim to be an indie developer first.

While I don't have a degree in Gender and SJW studies, I feel confident in saying it is perfectly acceptable to create your own gender. My coworker for example identifies as a churro and che demands I respect chis pronouns 👌
 
Holy Jesus Christ how was that even offending?
Btw, happy to see that NeoGaf is back to a decent status. Something like one year and a half ago these pages would have been full of replies like "WELL, LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT GONNA BUY THEIR GAME ANYMORE, TOO BAD"

You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. A joke about the inconvenience of misgendering someone has nothing to do with trans people but only feminists? What the fuck?

And what in hell do you have against feminists? "Oh those people want equal rights for women. Fuck them! They suck!" I'm sorry they're invading your precious boys club. Grow up.

I am putting you on ignore. But I want you to understand that it's not because I'm intolerant of your views. It's because you are a horrendous stultifying bore.

Honestly as far as I know that shit doesn't exist doesn't matter tumblr-trans people are just looking for attention.

Trans people aren't out there looking to be offended. They live in fear of correcting someone misgendering them because sometimes they literally get murdered when doing so. People purposefully will dead name them or misgender them even after being corrected. A lighthearted joke doesn't poke fun at the death of a marginalized group.

And saying legitimate trans people shouldn't be offended by things like this is completely ridiculous. You don't get to define what 'legitimate' trans people can or should be offended by.

Well you're wrong. Because those are specific cases of trans people being misgendered, and getting murdered not every living person is gonna shoot and kill a trans person that's not how this society is. It's more accepting then ever I'd hope you know that. Once again you're throwing specific cases as every case. How is assuming someones gender marking them for death?????

And you know what trans people are perpetually offended because of shit like this. Why do you think people always say they are offended because they blow up every fucking incident till someones life is ruined. It's not a random label some "cisgender fuck" made up it's completely valid. I've been effected because of it as well. I've had "trans" jokes thrown at me too because of me getting irritated. The vocal "trans" minority cause this problem and it ruins it for everyone else.
 
And what in hell do you have against feminists? "Oh those people want equal rights for women. Fuck them! They suck!" I'm sorry they're invading your precious boys club. Grow up
I mean, if you want you can feel empathy for people trying to inject their politics into our hobbies under the umbrella of feminism. Not real feminism, mind you, the ones fighting to give females equal rights in the Middle East and such. The ones that sit in front of the computer telling devs what to do and in case they don't they fire up the mob.

Sure a trans person on twitter might be more privileged than one that doesn't have access to that, like someone kicked out of their home for who they are and living on the streets because of it. But because of the society we live in a trans person on twitter isn't going to be as privileged on average as some white cis-gendered person on twitter. That's just a fact.

What exactly defines looking to be offended? If I'm a trans person following a game company that is releasing a game that I might purchase and I see something that offends me from them because it cuts to the core of my existence and makes fun of my life am I looking to be offended just for being there? Like if a black person is sitting in a restaurant and the person next to them starts spouting the N word over and over are they looking to be offended? If a woman's boss says she should get back in the kitchen while she's giving a presentation to the board is she looking to be offended?

By the same token we exist on message boards where news gets to us. If a feature of a game you don't like comes up as a post were you looking to be angry at that feature? Or lack of feature? Were you looking not to purchase? Or did that information just enter your sphere of existence and you reacted logically to it?
 
It's very sad, you can't even make a joke on the internet anymore. Everything is political, everyone is offended. What a depressing world we live in.

Next time they shouldn't apologize. There was nothing to apologize for to begin with. Bending the knee to sjws leads to more screeching, so it's best to ignore these pathetic people.

Last reply because I do not think it is wort it. Feminism today has nothing to do with equality anymore. Feminism has become a dangerous cult who tries too stay alive. For example in the UK less than 7% consider themselves femiist while 85% stand for equal rights.

I'm sorry you never grew up from being that little child with the "no girls allowed" sign on his kickass fort throwing a tantrum because mommy said you should let your sister play, too. "Politics" has always existed in your fucking hobby as long as you've been alive or longer because what you define as politics is just everyday existence for people. Like people like you don't fire up the fucking mob against devs for some other dumb shit like graphics or gameplay features. But when some woman thinks there's an offensive portrayal of a marginalized group well then that's politics. Games can be massive misogynist testosterone factories for decades but when devs realize they need to add women to their creative teams suddenly that's fucking politics. Check your privilege. More representation across a spectrum of art and media isn't politics. That's life. Grow up.

The thing is, it isn't 'everyone'. It's a small, extremely vocal minority (WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST MINORITIES?!?!?) who have way too much time on their hands.
 
Remember when the internet used to be a paradise? A beautiful escape from the real world?

That was before the SJW fun police showed up.

This it what happens when insane asylums were deemed inhumane (for good reason), but instead of reforming them, they closed them down and let them loose on the world... and then they bred.
