[Raven117]

Hi everyone. I, too, will be taking a break from Era.

Its just a bit much when people start to actively shit on people for liking the game or acknowledging the hard work that went into it. That aint it.

I think there are some shitty things in Cyberpunk and I acknowledge that, I am still going to play the game and hopefully enjoy it. I don't need someone taking a shit on me for doing so.

I am conflicted, I'm a lefty, always will be. I likely won't engage in much political talk here as I disagree with a lot of takes here but I am hoping I can come here and talk about games. Sometimes I just wanna talk games and its becoming increasingly hard to do so over there. They are pissed off at anyone who is excited for the game. That Shinobi nonsense drives me insane.

I find it scary that people actually think BC was some kind of Trojan horse assigned to tearing the forum apart from the middle. Crazy.

Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the game.

Plenty of video games to talk about on this forum if that's all you want. That said, you would be welcome in Politics Gaf if you ever decide to venture on over.

Welcome to Gaf.

 

[Raven117]

I'm hoping for 27 before any pauses. These free jannies have to be exhausted too so I hope they post it and ignore the thread as it explodes so they can "fail" the community again.

That line will always make me laugh a little bit "failed the community" (by not locking a thread).

 

[Vire]

I mean you had to have seen this coming right? You'll find a range of differing opinions on here. But there's plenty of people on the left (myself included) who fight for the equality of transgender people and other minorities in actual real life - not on a gaming forum. In the real world. That site has been obviously toxic as a community for quite some time.

Absolutely, I just think this was the straw that broke the camels back. I think this will definitely be the largest influx of users since the initial exodus in 2017.

 

[The New Guy]

people already being canceled for....enjoying the game lol

Imagine expecting a streamer who does it for a career to skip the biggest game of the year just to keep their forum happy.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even know what ResetEra is.

 

[Kayhan]

LMAO now they are big mad at that clown Hasan Piker.

 

[Chittagong]

The most incredible thing of this is that I can not come up with a scenario for managing Cyberpunk that would have gone more wrong for Era

A - Ban the game. Sure lose some traffic, but it's just one big game, not end of the world. Rule, it's clear cut, simple to explain with woke solidarity

B - Ban the screeching troons. There is about 10 of them kicking shit up and like banning Ketkat resulted in no real damage, they could have kept 99% of their users and had none of this mayhem

Instead the madmen allowed both discussion and screeching, which lead into a spiral of ban baiting, Twitter history combing, a mod post encouraging people to snitch suspected Trumpers, Shinobi getting purity tested, a negative reviews only thread that lasted a page or two, banning graphics benchmarks, and best of all Kyujji running the ship.

This is all and so much more than I ever dared to dream of

 

[Barry Burton]

So anyone that had something positive to say about Black Chamber is an evil POS. But Android Sophia....who stuck up for him multiple times and vouched personally for BC....is immune???

For now!

 

[CheeseSteakEarthQuake]

Hey guys I know I said I was gonna stream the biggest game of the season but some randos on a laughingstock of a video game forum said they'd cancel me so my hands are tied.

 

[Javthusiast]

CDPR is a transphobic company. It's time we stop making excuses for them.

That's great to hear. At least someone in the streaming world is treating this seriously.

www.resetera.com

And I used to really like him on GameTrailers and then EasyAllies.

 

[Bollocks]

Can you even imagine discussions on a video game being managed and dictated by staff?

yes

It has been glorious.

Absolutely, I just think this was the straw that broke the camels back. I think this will definitely be the largest influx of users since the initial exodus in 2017.

I initially left to go to Resetera during 2017 after being on GAF since my account was created here - not because of politics or the landscape of what happened, but just because that's where it seemed like everyone was going and I was interested in the gaming leaks/news; however, I'm now firmly back here after this weekend's events regardless if gaming stuff is still at the forefront there with breaking news (it's not though, because I think a lot of insiders have left since).

It's crazy how they just let their political beliefs start overtaking gaming in general, to the point that games are now given some weird purity test before they are worthy of discussion.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

HIs "wife" probably takes a strap-on to him.

HIs "wife" probably takes a strap-on to him.

A real diarrhea spelunking dick he is then.

 

[eastcoastkody]

they are just insulating themselves and pushing away all the normal posters.

they want to live in some fantasy world where everyone is trans......everyone has anime avatars and pick and choose who they want to cancel or what to get offended by on that day.

That place is becoming a weird clique of fat white virgin neckbeards pretending to be women and trolling and harassing everyone else. And if u are not with them u are against them and are given the scarlett letter and are marked for attack. Its all very scientology like.

 

[Kayhan]

So anyone that had something positive to say about Black Chamber is an evil POS. But Android Sophia....who stuck up for him multiple times and vouched personally for BC....is immune???

I put absolutely zero of the blame for what happened here on Android Sophia.

B-Dubs on the other hand...

Android Sophia is made to look like a fool if you believe BC was some kind of long game alt-right Trojan horse.....but that is bullshit so she seemed to have been totally fair until ResetEra decided to throw him under the bus and that was game over.

 

[Moon Grape Donut]

Now they are mad at this Hasan Twitch streamer who let them down. Apparently Hasan is a super lefty streamer and he said the game wasn't transphobic now live on Twitch, and REEEEEE is saying he`s ill informed in the topic and they are disappointed on a deep personal level

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

A spoiled, infantile brat, who would gladly see the whole world destroyed when the people won't submit to their every outlandish demand; so long as they can still live in an absolutely safe capsule where nothing bad could ever happen to them...

I think I now know why this all seems strangely familiar to me!

 

[eastcoastkody]

they dont seem to understand that saying "Cyberpunk is transphobic" is an OPINION. Not a fact. And their opinion is based on a paper thing premise.

I'm sure he'll cry over the 5-10 TransEra users who will stop watching his livestreams

One of the best parts here is the politics forum being its own thing. You can engage specific threads and politics is largely kept out of gaming/OT as well as moderately mod enforced. It's a good format and one I enjoy since GAF > ERA > back to GAF.

 

[lmimmfn]

And we have 2 more wonderful days of this

The REEEEE world of lollipops and rainbows is so wonderful!!!!

Take head my fellow non believers for there is safety and redemption in REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[lmimmfn]

I'm sure he'll cry over the 5-10 TransEra users who will stop watching his livestreams

that chick pic there to make me read your post? huh?
Well it worked!

 

[eastcoastkody]

letting the inmates run the asylum. Matter of time before they are at each others throats and the staff......since they will have no normal ppl to attack any longer

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

Should have listened to Chittadamus Prophecies

You're only crime was trying to be reasonable with a group of people who see reason as a playground for the privilege.

 

[Javthusiast]

How dare they assume that ad poster chick actually identifies as transgender. Maybe in the future of Cyberpunk women simply are using cybertech to experience different sexual pleasures to the standard vagina or strap on action.

Pretty bigoted of Era.

 

[Dick Jones]

I've an idea. Create a LTTP for Knack on Era. The op is about the first Knack game and that it runs so smooth on PS5. Then just start talking about Cyberpunk but discuss it by calling the main character Knack. In that quest Knack met Johnny and whatever.

So anyone that had something positive to say about Black Chamber is an evil POS. But Android Sophia....who stuck up for him multiple times and vouched personally for BC....is immune???

Didn't they drag her out of her 'on break' status to toe the company line. She got awful abuse and to be fair I've never really heard bad shit about her compared to the rest of the chucklefucks. Dont think she hasn't been treated poorly by the inmates

 

[Piku_Ringo]

come to the gaf side, we have black chamber

At first I didn't trust this Black Chamber character, but then I saw that he invested in GAF Gold so now he gets the seal of approval from me.

 

[CheeseSteakEarthQuake]

Petition for a HypnoSpace Outlaw sequel where you play as a ResetEra mod.

 

[Moon Grape Donut]

Also of course they need to find more things """transphobic""" and """"racist""""

CDPR is a transphobic company. It's time we stop making excuses for them.

Seems like it lol

www.resetera.com

His question is... why do these ads exist in the world? His question is basically the answer: it made him question the ad, and why the fuck something so weird and sexualized would pop out of nowhere in Night City. Corporations have no limits in that world and make you raise an eyebrow when you see something as weird as that.

It's almost as if they have no idea what they're doing.

i have no clue who the mods are over there. But im just ready for the mob to turn on them. As they have enabled this. This is what they created. They made their bed. Time for them to lie in it.

 

[Vire]

The inmates took over the asylum. As someone said previously, if your game now needs to pass a "purity" test requiring the approval and deemed politically correct by some screeching mentally unstable person... well then you lost the plot.

Reading that thread isn't just sad, especially as someone who once enjoyed ERA - it's insufferable. I honestly can't believe they let it get to that level. These people are the definition of bullies.

 

[Trickster]

How funny . . . Its almost like....progressive community lends itself to echo chambers and governance structures ending in toxicity?

Sure, if you want to have a community that predominantly leans one way politically then you will invariably end up with some sort of echo chamber. To prevent that echo chamber from spinning out of control you need good rules and good governance. Era unfortunately has neither.

I mean just look at how fantastically the staff have managed to completely bungle this whole cyberpunk 2077 debacle. Over a period of months they basically handled it the worst possible way they could. Any semi competent person would have seen it coming miles away and would have preemptively laid out clear rules. Era staff instead waited until it hit a boiling point, and then kept continuously adding new rules that they and TransEra immediately ignored because TransEra essentially has diplomatic immunity, and have whipped themselves into a complete frenzy over CDPR and their game

you are always welcome in politics to discuss the upcoming Civil War with me where God Emperor Trump will restore Liberty to the Republic.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

It's nice that a game has bought people back to GAF. A shared experience we can all enjoy and just discuss. Makes me feel all tingly inside.

 

[eastcoastkody]

ResetERA

ppl that nothing is happening to: "i dont feel safe"

ppl that are actually not safe because crazy ppl are digging into their social medias and other off-site content: "umm...i was banned?"

And I used to really like him on GameTrailers and then EasyAllies.

I actually popped into a stream of his last week for some reason. Stuck around for about 10 minutes because of what I saw in the chat. Someone asked what Kyle thought of Joe Rogan. Kyle ignored the question but someone in chat said "he's a white supremacist". So, someone else asked the person who made that claim to back it up with evidence. Then, the mods stepped in and told that person to "stop this conversation". The person refused, again asking for a source and was banned. Then the person who called Rogan a white supremacist was showered with hearts and love from the other retards in that circlejerk of a chatroom.

All the while, Kyle "ignored" what was going on in chat and continued to play his game lol. Kyle Bosman simply has no balls whatsoever. Completely castrated by being around Ian so much, I think.

 

[Dick Jones]

This is Resetera

Now they are mad at this Hasan Twitch streamer who let them down. Apparently Hasan is a super lefty streamer and he said the game wasn't transphobic now live on Twitch, and REEEEEE is saying he`s ill informed in the topic and they are disappointed on a deep personal level

Few big streamers would ever go out of their way to denounce the game and lose viewers, for what? They need them to make a living. Even a communist like Hasan is not that dumb.

 

[lunnuyu]

the banned members from ResetERA these days

ah hell I'll admit I missed autisticgifGAF

welcome home you fools welcome home.

 

[Moon Grape Donut]

I really like Kyle and find him charismatic, but I was sure he was going to shit on HP and Cyberpunk.
His decision and I will still enjoy the guy, no bans for him are necessary on my part

 

[A Regular Guy]

Dreams-Vision, that name sounds familiar

 

[CheeseSteakEarthQuake]

If there's one thing thats certain, by the end of this Kyuuji is gonna be made a mod, and if that OT thread melts down, possibly an admin.

 

[DarkParadise]

I tolerate people who have issues with the game. At the end its their decision, whether they want to play those games or not. But it's not okay to force other people to have the same opinion on this matter.

 

[Ol'Scratch]

The smartest thing to do if they wanted the best of both would be immediately move a cyberpunk 2077 thread to communities. And let trans era have their pinned thread .
That way people who want to talk the game can talk the game and trans era would not have to look at it no matter how many posts the thread got. But they do not want equality, they want to impose their will and the pathetic staff can't bend the knee fast enough.

I suppose the fact that I will be starting my annual holiday Harry Potter marathon this weekend would probably not go over well either.

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

Hey lads and lasses here. Are any of you in touch with Vestan? Do you have contacts?
I think he's being treated unfairly as Claven the Cunt is seemingly unbanned.
I think Vestan reported his nasty ass. Yet Vestan is still banned.

I don't know him but I read that he's a black person and I won't think it's far fetched to theorize that Era made him believe we're bunch of racists and neo nazis.

Maybe he likes Era and want to continue posting there and doesn't fuck with GAF but I won't think it'd be harmful to send him a message or two. At the very least tell him to skim over this thread. We're not Stormfront.

These lies and accusations are disgusting.

 

[Dorohedoro]

CDPR is a transphobic company. It's time we stop making excuses for them.

The answer is for people to read what is going on before just blindly posting. At the very least reading the freaking OP. Obviously that's a fools dream, but this is very frustrating that people see a thread with transphobia in the title and aren't understanding that this isn't a thread to...

WHAT? you disagreed with someone on a political issue and you're not writing them off for the rest of their existence?!
