This is a phenomenon I see more and more frequently: gamers getting upset about a game and reeeeaaaally trying to kill it in the grave. "Another superhero cash grab." "A card game?? We want SINGLE PLAYER STORY DRIVEN EXPERIENCES REEEEEEE-"


Something about the internet, and the human desire to be heard, makes people go through great lengths to share and defend their completely ungrounded opinions.
Midnight Suns enjoyers, RISE UP! He was right and they banned him for it.
Small exchange in Constructive about whether or not Cyberpunk2 should get banned:
Embiid wrote:re: cyberpunk

It doesn't make sense to me to preemptively ban discussion of the sequel. We have no idea if the chromanticore poster is gonna be in the sequel, which btw is prob gonna be in a completely new city/area based on the ending of 2077. It's also by a new NA studio.
Phantom Liberty was in the same general area…like you could go travel back and forth with the original game so banning that was understandable. However, we got no idea about the sequel. I think it's way too early to completely ban it / relegate it into the hangouts OT as we know nothing about the game…might as well ban whatever other games CDPR has in the works if that's the case.
/2cents
Thanatos wrote:It's not just the chromanticore poster though, the game has written quests in both base game and the expansion that are transphobic as fuck.

Hence, the ban persisting makes sense because CDPR has never apologized and when they had a chance to do better (Phantom Liberty) they failed yet again.

Until they either apologize or put out something Cyberpunk branded that isn't garbage about how it views and/or treats the trans community, not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Embiid wrote:Having "beast" as a license plate for that quest… it's common slang here in the U.S. I've used it for women irl, especially athletes… "Caitlin Clark is an absolute beast". Moreover,  it was a license plate about her truck.

The PL quest was a take on our fawning over celebrities and everything they do as a sort of metaphor with your relationship with Johnny. I dunno how that quest was transphobic af…that's like a wild stretch.

I was not prepared for dragphobic:
ClickyCal' wrote:The PL quest is maybe their most egregious thing yet with being both transphobic and drag-phobic.  They could literally do anything other than that.  You really shouldn't be talking down to trans people who are hurt or offended by transphobia in the game.
Embiid wrote:How am I talking down to anyone? I'm sharing my thoughts on those quests after playing the game & expac. Did you play PL? That quest was an allegory on how we worship celebrity culture and what that means for how we view Johnny… calling it transphobic af is like a wild stretch, it's just not logical. You're right in that I'm not trans so I should listen if actual trans people are saying it was transphobic af and I'm willing to do that, but that shouldn't mean I'm not allowed to share my take on it. I don't stress over the countless white people dropping their takes on what they feel is racist or not, because they're entitled to their opinion.

Also another Mandela effect.... 

I don't recall any letters Bin Laden send to western press. I only remember he made video messages and only a handful were released and people had doubts it was actually Bin Laden himself (the story of Iron Man 3 was loosely based on this).

Someone needs to do some digging on the trans folks social media posts. I'm sure one or two n-words might have slipped out during gamer moments from years past. Just to spice up the forums a bit.

It's not surprising that young people are surprise to find out Bin Laden was more of a natural product of America's colonialism than a random violent force.
his stupid 1500 year old religion has nothing to do with it of course, just ignore that the crux of the argument is that the sky fairy hates everyone who isn't muslim

in just the last few months I've seen a suspicious amount of video content suddenly cropping up on a bunch of social media platforms saying "DiD yOu KnOw???? cHiNa HaS 5000 eThNiC mInOrItY gRoUpS!!!!"

like genuinely, youtube, reddit, twitter, imgur sharing this all at once out of nowhere

which is a bald faced attempt at trying to take advantage of the west's desire to coddle and promote all minorities and defend them at all costs, because they know that "chinese people" en masse are considered a global majority, being 18% of the total global population

I wonder if this kind of reaction has anything to do with young people just now learning that Osama bin Laden had an ideology beyond just being "evil" like we were taught in grade school at the time.

Quote:Oh I know why literacy rates have fallen recently, but Americans' relationship with literacy, education, and conspiracism has always been tenuous and whitewashed because the reality of the matter is fundamentally against the political and economic interests of the United States. It is literally better for politicians to make sure we are, at max, only as smart as is necessary to fulfill the functions of capitalism and be unable to question and thus fight Western hegemony. You only start getting a more accurate historical education in college, and even then that's dependent upon your privileges to even get to college and interests in the subject. Most folks, even leftists, know fuck all about the Global South, and that isn't a new development from the pandemic. That's by design of this country.

You literally have nearly unlimited access to any piece of information you could ever want you fucking clown.

Russia's best and brightest have learned just about enough to ride a tank into a minefield and the average Chinese received just enough education to assemble an iPhone. 
In India you have the caste system, which means that the unlucky ones can pick between picking up the garbage or doing Microsoft tech support.
Against all of my better judgements, I am beginning to believe that the US doesn't just deserve a Trump second term, but actually NEEDS a Trump second term just to shine a big ol' spotlight on how insane the American "left" really has become.
