I'm not sure if I support this.

What's GAF verdict on let's play's?

Should publishers / developers try DMCA takedowns Youtubers with certain world views?

Are the ones that do not file DMCA's supporting the views that of the Youtuber?

It's fair for devs and publishers to DMCA down LP, without notice even
 
Wow a few more reminders that this is our world and you just live in it today? Lol

Between this and Michael Bennett story from the Seahawks I'm having an particularly self reflecting weekend. Pretty crazy world, but gotta make the best of it.
 
Luis Suarez incident a few years back too. 8 game ban.

Never a fan, fuck the goals he scored for us.

However, in response to the actual quote you had, the disgraceful lack of real punishment for people who express views like this in the UK needs no better example than said Parliamentary figure they were talking about: Anne Marie Morris is still an MP despite her slur.
 
There is one coming out soon isn't there? I was just using that as a hypothetical situation to highlight were this COULD potentially be abused.

The Last Night - that they showed off at Xbox's E3 confrence - has a pretty prominent GG defender as lead designer and writer. Doesn't help the game is written from the point of framing universal income as a bad thing.

I am pretty sure he outed himself as a racist by being racist on stream.
But oh please enlighten us.

What would it take for you to consider someone an 'actual racist', I wonder?

If you yell out the n word multiple times

If you dress up in nazi outfits

You are a damn racist.

Please enlighten us all on how he isn't racist after the times he did racist shit, like the nazi business and this fiasco. We are waiting with bated breath....
 
Not a Ne0n fan by any means, but I can tell the guy isn't an actual racist. Cant help but feel a bit bad for the shitstorm he has instore. He's fucked.

lol
 
This is so strange to me because if you're not native english, like he isn't, the n-word has no true meaning in that it wouldn't naturally come out in a swear. He had to decide to say it, and I don't understand the decision process if not just to create confrontation.

You don't have to be using a word natively for it to come naturally. That can form in months or years.

How can you tell he's not a racist? Please enlighten us.

Actually never mind, you feel sorry for him. That tells us everything we need to know.

Or you know, we call a spade a spade and he's a fucking racist

Yes, I feel bad for multimillionaires who use the N-word too. Life's been so unfair for him.

Or that.

edit: sorry for double-posting - I don't know how to merge them now. I just wanted to reinforce my post wasn't meant to justify or remove the weight of his words. I was just thinking about what would make a non-native use an offensive word in a swear that isn't in his native language - but I apologise if that sounds beyond the point.

What is a racist?:
a) someone who actively dislikes/hates other races?
b) who maybe isn't (a) but out of ignorance keeps the ideology alive by doing racist things like using the N-word for example?

Let's say as a consequence of (b) thousands of white 12 year old boys start using the N-word on the school yard. B type can be much worse than a silent non-social A-Type for the matter at hand.

If someone shoots one of your loved ones, does it really matter if
a) he did on purpose
b) accidentally did it because he's a jerk

Holy shit.

Oh you can just tell who's a racist and who isn't? Here, let me tell you, racist words don't just slip out of your mouth if you aren't a racist.

You feel bad for backlash he's going to deservedly endure? He's a fucking millionaire who said something vile. Holy shit apologists for everything.
 
Online gaming is so damn toxic nowadays, Pewdiepie saying that just amplifies what's wrong with the community.

I remember some girl was streaming on Twitch and got killed in PUBG and some kid, (likely white) was like "honey I found a n*****" in the most redneck accent possible then plays the Isis theme. She looked beyond shocked.

It's absolutely messed up the way some people think trolling is a way to bypass how messed up their behaviour can be.

Best wishes.
 
What is this GG thing? And why shouldnt i play The Venashing because of it? :)

What's Venashing? Can't google it.

Oh, The Vanishing, soz. It's a game developed by a man who happily aligns himself with a politically toxic online movement. Gamergate.

Gonna go on a limb and assuming you didn't know about that controversy, but it's a defining chapter in gaming culture, no, online culture in general. And it's a touchy subject on GAF.

That popped up in my YouTube feed, over a million views. It's a majorly fucked up 'joke'.
