Well, he's not only called Karak that, but in fact everyone who posts here. It would definitely be interesting if a couple hundred users took legal action about it altogether.

Its hard to prove slander.
If I say "it's my opinion that you are a nazi", well that's my opinion and I can have it.

 

[Barry Burton]

They are most likely waiting to see if they have a disclaimer in any videos about Cyberpunk referencing CDPRs Transphobia before casting them out.

And that disclaimer must be specific! Right up front and highly visible. None of this "all are welcome" shit!

 

[Guilty_AI]

So wait, if someone makes an account here with the same username and photo of someone in Era, they could be potentially banned there? That basically gives the mod team/influential users there an ultimate weapon to ban whoever they want (though i doubt this would work against themselves)

edit: Ehhh, thinking again, i doubt they'd go to such roundabout ways to ban someone.
For an authoritarian who holds power, a "hanged himself in the doorknob" explanation does just fine.

 

[Valued Gamer]

That Karak dude is getting some hate vibes on Reee.

Love the "all white guys with his personality" line.

Will be interesting to see how those outcasts react to it.
Let's see if they have a backbone and say "screw Era, you are bigots of the highest order", or if they back down, cancel their GAF account and write an apology to Reee begging forgiveness. I see some doing that.

 

[teezzy]

Yeah...

Telling people to learn a sense of self driven independence and personal reliability is such problematic behavior... lord forbid if you have the audacity to seem like that'd be your advice even.

Let's bitch on a video game forum and hope for more stimulus checks instead.

Not potentially, they will be banned.

If you post here you are a nazi. And if you aren't a nazi you enjoy their company by just being here.

I wonder what they think of reddit and twitter? They constantly post links and images from those sites. Are they aware that those platforms have nazis and white sumprecists on them?

I wanna know what "alt right" vibes he's giving off.

 

[Valued Gamer]

I'm guessing he is white, straight, cis, and thats really all it takes.

 

[Karunamon]

Mild disagreement with anything a trans era person ever posted online anywhere.

 

[Valued Gamer]

Hahahaha, look at what this poor prick got perma banned for. His opinion of the game.
I guess he was a little too positive for Reees liking. And we all know positivity and excitement for a new game is violence.

It's to the point on there where if you try to have a discussion about any aspect of the game outside of the OT (with the staff post on each page that you MUST READ FIRST), it's probably going to lead to a permaban. Especially if it's a new thread.

Thank god they banned him so quickly, what a monster!! How were they even allowed to have mild optimism? Doesn't that forum have numerous failsafes to ensure everyone is miserable?

See, here at GAF I think the mods would just merge it into the OT......

the entire forum is extremely racist against white people. they had a praised thread called screw white people. lol. but it is considered "punching up" so it's allowed

Quick, everyone to their safe space. Reeeeeeee

Seems sensible, right? But over there, it means you blatantly ignored their guidelines and are, thus, a terrible person who wants all of TransEra to die and therefore, you must be purged.

Can't be racist against white people DDUUHH!

kidding obviously

Why would they? That place has been a shitshow for a while now - they make it hard to enjoy even being there. If you are not liked there [by Team Worthless] and you post anything, ZEOvgm or one of the other usual suspects will come and ask you ban-bait questions regarding it. It's like they are always skulking around, looking for some reason to start drama - it's exhausting and ridiculous.

Why would anyone want to go back there - let alone crawl back "begging forgiveness"?

Hahahaha, look at what this poor prick got perma banned for. His opinion of the game.

Unbelievable.

That site is coming apart faster than anticipated.

Didn’t you get the memo? Literally the only people that can be racist is white people.


According to their forum.

Lol, Zeovgm is such a bitch. I remember reading through a thread about the new Harry Potter game and anyone who posted any type of hype for it he would reply to them asking "what do you feel about the controversy?" Biggest baiter ever.

 

[Valued Gamer]

I think that mod post is fake.

 

[Barry Burton]

nush Just so no one gets the wrong impression again, that was a joke image I made.

This was the actual post I was mocking. It's no less stupid, though!

What a cunt.

Black chamber made a great OT but they fed him to soy sharks anyway, because someone insinuated he supports trump.

 

[nush]

I'm so woke even my TV has preferred pronouns.

 

[Rillania]

I am super late to the party, as I was waiting on account approval yesterday and been busy with work today, but I've been watching this whole Cyberpunk debacle blow up into batshit insanity levels over the past few days. While I know you've heard this ad nauseum by now Black Chamber , I just wanted to join in on the positive dog pile and say what happened to you over this whole mess has been appalling when you were nothing but sincere and kind. It's even more gross that you got permabanned for an insanely innocuous post on twitter from years ago all because it gave them dubious ammo to paint you as some alt-right deepcover agent.

I'm glad to see GAF has been welcoming to you, and I've been a fan of your OTs, as you always put a lot of care and love into them. I'm looking forward to seeing you hopefully continue with that here in the future.

I've been a lurker of GAF since the dawn of time that moved my eyeballs with the crowd over to Era during the great migration to keep up with the news. I never felt the drive to make an account here prior, and I I absolutely never felt comfortable making one over at Era, now more than ever. I've noticed shit there escalating at breakneck speeds this year in particular, and this whole crapfest has basically sealed the deal for me to start giving my clicks and eyeball time elsewhere.

I'm a liberal who writes about porn games and whose work/family/friend circle is mostly compromised of people all over the conservative/right side of the political spectrum, and I love them, and what I do, all to bits and wouldn't ditch them for all of the "progressive cred" in the world. If that makes me a nazi in the eyes of Era, then fuck it. I'll hammer the nails into my coffin with this post and even pay for a gold account to add a nice cherry on top.

Anyway, just mostly wanted to throw my hat in the ring and voice my support to BC and everyone else. I think I'll start lurking here again, and maybe come out of the woodwork a bit to post on occasion.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

trans rights are human rights

black lives matter

fuck white supremacy

there's no such thing as a good republican

conservatism is a cancer

Check his recent post history. He went back and edited some relatively posts before becoming a martyr. Probably covering his tracks as the Era gestapo ramp up their scrutiny of anyone who posted here within the last three years.

 

[Valued Gamer]

How long before one of the Transera members starts a thread saying after CP getting recognition on Reee, they have been suicidal and they have never felt so unsafe in an attempt to get the game and studio banned on the forum?

"Yes, we were fooled by Black Chamber"

...

What an embarrassingly deceiving thing to say. How did I "fool" "we"?

If being yourself and sincere fools someone - how false do you have to be to say something that weak just to save face?

He also could have said "Black Chamber was an alien all along and he left in his flying saucer after we spoke".

They would probably believe that too

Good lord at the post the mod is quoting there. "BUT YOU KEPT SIDING WITH BLACK CHAMBER! BUT YOU KEPT SIDING WITH BLACK CHAMBER! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" Have they not already gotten their pound of flesh?

Maybe they need to unban Black Chamber and then immediately ban him again, maybe that will be enough.

Welcome to NeoGAF and cheers for going straight to Gold and supporting the site. I've set you up with full account privileges. Glad to see you show up to defend BC against this witch hunt nonsense. Regarding how you treat your conservative friends and family as a liberal, that's a crucial mindset to have when social media and culture are trying to divide us all across political battle lines.

He really is.

I can't think of a single constructive post that I've ever seen from him - it's always ban-baiting and doom/gloom from him.

He's still harassing me on Twitter, btw:

"nobody was banned for criticism", when criticizing moderation has to be the most frequent reason folks are getting banned. Only on Era.

This is just crazy talk. Fucking hell

This is what happens when you get sucked into something and lose all perspective. I just want to shake him and tell him 'it's not real'.

I’m staying away from both threads... far away... can’t discuss the game unless you first state that the game is transphobic cause you’ll get banned otherwise.

 

[smileBrandon]

I can't express enough how much better I feel mentally not even looking at that place, or interacting with it's members.

Not everyone there is bad - actually there are some wonderful people there. It's the baiters, the harassers and the bullies that make it such a chore to be a part of that place.

I'm looking at you ZEOvgm, messofanego, Kyuuji, Banshee McSpook, Surfinn, Purseowner and Khrn.

Despicable individuals

Not Redshift too?

Wait. Do you actually have to state that for the record before you can post in the OT?

I don’t fucking know. Seriously.

I’m seeing people praising the game and getting banned.

I can’t even opine on the situation because I don’t believe that the entirety of CDPR are transphobes. That opinion would get me permabanned, so I’m staying away.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

[Nobody_Important]

They still aren't happy, but just wait until they realize that Kyuuji's thread has 106 pages and it's been around since October as well as being pinned to the top of the Gaming section. The Cyberpunk OT meanwhile comes with its own disclaimer and is not pinmed. It has 45 pages in less than 24 hours and the game isn't even out yet.


That is going to be an interesting revelation to watch happen.

Do you have the same name over there? They'll 100% ban you for posting anything here. (Source: they banned me for posting here)

Not literally, but I have not stated anywhere that I believe CDPR are transphobes, so any positive comment could be misconstrued as trolling.

Common sense has gone out the window over there.
