I saw someone posting a long list of "problems" they had with the game. Like the trans issues, which they claim to be ignore by this game despite there being visual evidence in this thread of a trans character with a meaningful backstory, all the other gripes were similar bullshit. Too many help the cops missions, like I'm sorry are you pretending you are in 2077 and cyberpsychos are murdering people en masse or not? That's the problem with activists they can't suspend their disbelief or take things in the proper context. Everything is seen as "is this good for the Democrats/SJW/BLM political establishment y/n?"

Thing is they are the ones doing the most damage to the trans community by being terrible allies. They go on about how harmful CDPR is all while being way more harmful themselves. How many hundreds of thousands of people have been unable to say what they want about the game due to Kyuu's oppressive tactics? How many people on the edge of accepting trans rights are now banned for minor infractions and have the impression first hand that it is a hateful spiteful bigoted group that encourages evil behavior out of its members?

They are actively scaring off potential allies. They are radicalizing people. They are loudly and belligerently giving the trans community a bad name. And most of them are just white cishet dudes!

Just saw this. Just saying PCMR is a big no no over there. Brillant.

Yeah they find PCMR to be derivative of white supremacy because of "master race". They have a habit of taking jokes literally there.

By the way, Black Chamber is now constantly being referred to as a "nazi" as if this was some kind of irrefutable fact.

And that the ResetEra moderators are guilty of having collaborated with a nazi.

 

[cormack12]

Anyone cap the post hes talking about? You need an account or summat to see those threads

[Kayhan]

The Era moderation team has bent over backwards to please TransEra and the response has been TransEra heaping more and more abuse on the moderators.

When will the Era moderators stand up for themselves and take back the forum?

 

[belmarduk]

Wow.
A ResetEra mod being assertive toward someone with a transgender avatar.
Haven't seen that before.

 

[Perfo]

This is all so entertaining

 

[correofake333]

Oh, boy, a mod in that forum just told a transgender user to basically fuck of LMAO. He used the expression "pound sand". I' m not english narive speaker and I had to search what does it mean, but by the users outrage in the last 20 minutes, yep, "fuck off" seems accurate lol.

 

[JSoup]

Now they are attacking your administrators.

Getting some SomethingAwful vibes here.

This escalated quickly^^

If you aren't paying for your porn from reputatable distributers and performers the chances are you already are watching videos of real life child exploitation and rape without realizing it.

The Verge: Pornhub just removed most of its videos News

Just saying that your post, without such a disclaimer and given current news, came off as pretty tone deaf, to say the least.

so does this game get any points for how it centers a Latino character, the wonderful Jackie, who has a big role as a beloved member of his community, his personal history tying into that of the world, as we experience his story we learn more about what kind of people live in Cyberpunk 2077. I guess none of that matters? Positive Latinx representation we will just ignore that and yell about this #1 issue with white males over and over as if it is the only thing that matters like unthinking lunatics? The game has POC characters. It has LGBT characters. But even admitting reality would undermine their idiotic crusade. Because it is not rational but based entirely on emotions.

That is the problem with extremists. They won't even allow time to highlight actual positive representation, because they have become so tribalised that it might undermine "their side". In truth there should be just as many threads for praise and highlighting the good things it is doing. Jackie is positive representation and here is why. Where is that thread? Only trans people matter? If your goal was really being a good ally then wouldn't you want to celebrate the positive things the game does?

 

[Kayhan]

They have now started immediately completely deleting any threads on ResetEra that talks about the ongoing revolt.

1. LATINX is not a word and 97% of Latinos take offense to it.

2. They talked about it in the Transphobic thread but the person who said that it is a true representation to Latinos even the language got banned because they thought using Spanish words is racist.

It's funny seeing an admin who became one only to appease the whiney black members is treating other minorities like shit. "Got mine!" It's almost as if people of every race/creed/sexual orientation are capable of being complete pieces of shit. Imagine that!

 

[Dabaus]

That ZeoVGM guy... Jesus. He hates everything. He complaints about everything. All is bad, all is evil. I feel sad for him. Must be painful to live and think like that

I wonder how these people live their real lifes. I mean, you can't act the way you act in a forum in the real world, right ?

Imagine a room that has dirty laundry, trash, empty mountain dew cans litter the un swept floor, the mattress doesnt have a cover and cigeratte butts and ashes cover said mattress. Cat vomit is visible as is the full litter box. Mostly empty pizza boxes with mold growing on pieces he/whatever didnt consume are present too. The unclean, dirty, putrid, degenerate, environment this cretin lives in a reflection of what this creatures soul would like if you could see it.

Why do you focus on the minorities? They are not being treated like shit because they are trans but because they are fucking assholes

Oh I am well aware of that! I used the word because white allies like Era people have decided they can invent a new word for a race of people other than themselves, a word that only white people use, and that it is somehow ok.

Another reminder that the "party of science" is genuinely insane and detached from reality. Imo they are the real racists and this whole act is them unable to deal with self hatred over it and projecting it on the world.

Was reading about this earlier and was wondering if someone was going to make a thread about it here.
Didn't expect it in this thread or on that site.
Edit: oh, there is a thread here about it.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Era staff is mistreating trans members.

I mean, thread title right? lol But seriously, it's become apparent that, either by active disdain for trans members on this forum or by sheer apathy for them, Era staff has been failing them. I wasn't going to make a big public stink about it, but when I saw this post from the user Sibylus...

www.resetera.com

This thread?

Black Chamber being slandered again for 'trying to turn mods against the trans community' and being a 'polite nazi'

The linked post in your link is blocked. Anyone have a screenshot?

Seems it blowing up again. more drama.

Lmao they are claiming Black Chamber turned the mod team against TransEra....what the actual fuck?

That whole thread is an absolute "wtf goldmine"

Are they in a different plane of existence?

So they're basically learning that the whole expression of "give the baby its bottle and it'll stop crying" only works if the baby is hungry but doesn't work if the baby wants attention, right?

 

[Slurpy2k20]

I mean mods and admins have banned thousands of users with nasty and mocking messages, worse than this one, but I guess now it's a massive controversy only cause the user is allegedly trans.

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

The most protected group on ResetEra is nevertheless in open revolt.

It will never end until the moderation team finds their backbone and takes back their forum by permanently baning this coterie of rabble rousers and obvious trolls.

They really continue to eat themselves.

Expect more reeeeeefugees.

Btw, what did Digital Foundry do wrong in their sick minds?

 

[Kayhan]

Seems like Poodlestrike (Admin) had been holding a "pound sand" grudge for 6 months and couldn't take it anymore and had to get back at that user

I can fully get behind this level of petty. Very relatable

 

[Chromanticore]

Why do you focus on the minorities? They are not being treated like shit because they are trans but because they are fucking assholes

I focused on it because it's all they focus on there if you want any attention. How was that not clear?

 

[Yui's Empire]

There wouldn't be an issue with an admin saying "pound sand" to a member if that was the tone and style of the forum. But on a forum where they ban folks for making off-site jokes, for questioning moderation, for saying the right thing but with the wrong tone, for misgendering someone accidentally and so on, an admin going above that and going "fuck off" on a user is daft. But hey, that's the power trip they signed up for. Staff does what users can't do. That is, insulting their userbase, being racist, etc. without repercussions.

 

[Charles Brandon]

I believe it links to the feedback thread which only members can see. Kayhan screened some of it a few posts before yours.

Who would have thought that after everything the admin team did to appease the trans community it would be the trans community in revolt (and not the people who wanted to talk about the game).

 

[CaptainConlock]

Oooh, should I get more popcorn for this? I used up my last bag after the Black Chamber fallout. Looks like I need to make a fresh batch, buttered up and all.

So a black admin with power over other users abused their power? Who does that sound like? Hmmmmm I wonder....

 

[Enzo88]

Probably dared to praise the game's tech, which obviously means they are nazi-transphobes.

 

[belmarduk]

This is fantastic.
These idiots are not only calling for Poodlestrike to be demodded, but also banned from the site.
Its an implosion!

 

[teezzy]

Welcome back P Poodlestrike !!

 

[Dunki]

well looks like the fascist trans Community on Resetera has found another unclean human they need to purge from Era.

 

[Yui's Empire]

Screens, people!

*Poodlestrike waiting almost a year to get back at A.By*

Woah members are going nuts in the Community Thread since every thread they create that calls the Era mods out just secretly get deleted too funny

also this:

Seems one admin got sick of all the fake trans drama

So they made sophia stand down or get the sack and now chasing another admin

Lol they're mad because Poodlestrike didnt kiss that person's ass and showed some spine.

Wtf - I love Era admins now

The cycle of revenge.

The entitlement of these posters is hilarious. "Mods owe us an explanation"...they don't owe you shit...it's a fucking message board. Take a step out of your parent's basement and go get some fresh air

 

[teezzy]

Trans people should never be criticized ever!!!!! They're infallible!!!! Just ask brap !!!!!

'we want an explanation, this forum is horrible' ... 'please don't ban me, cause its still the most progressive forum on the net'.

Honestly, the admins have been more then accommodating to the Trans community over there; not really sure what more they can do.
