Perhaps mods/admins can provide some clarity?

Could we get more clarification from the mods regarding this? Specifically, would referring to Israel as a fascist state, or Zionism as a fascist ideology contravene policy?

The comparison would appear to be empirically correct.

B-Dubs

Edit:

I'm newer to this forum, so trying to understand things a bit more. Do multiple users typically get banned without having a moderator provide clarifying commentary?

I fundamentally do not understand how you can stand by those bans, especially seeing what is happening today. We do not get to ignore the context of what is and has been happening.

What I'm trying to understand is the silence. What does that mean? I won't infer intentions without a full data set.

This seems like a great opportunity for a communal discussion and for building understanding.

Honestly I think there has been always some broad conflation as you call it between trans and crossdressing communities from the crossdressing community itself, like the MTF subreddit (maybe the biggest subreddit for trans women) was recently found out to have a crossdresser mod for years that had to be removed because they were found to be allowing all kinds of crossdressers to post hypersexual content in the community carte blanche. Most older spaces for trans women (forums, irl groups etc) are more designed for crossdressers/sissies etc, and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny

It's very confusing to navigate even for me as a trans woman in these spaces so I imagine it's even more confusing from the outside from cis people's perspective, it's very likely why there's so many laws and stereotypes about trans women potentially being predators and perverts, because there's a broad class of cis men (of which there are way way more cis men with a crossdressing fetish than there is self identified trans women) with a fetish who essentially are identical looking to how a trans woman can superficially look

Like many relatives and previous friends of mine don't even talk to me anymore because they think I'm someone like this, the confusion is deep in society

and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny

Wait... there's trans women only spaces and they get mad if someone joins who doesn't belong?

Also side note: On the subject of cross-dressing. I had to deal with a homophobic/transphobic librarian recently who decided to reveal to me that she has a problem with men "dressing like women". As someone who presents masc, she didn't like the leg holster I use to carry my phone because it has a leg strap that resembles a garter. I'm wearing a skirt next time I go to book club.

Theyre still mad at the digital foundry guy. He made an account to respond and they got even angrier

Fine to have your opinions of course but threatening my job because of a couple of videos (out of hundreds and hundreds that I have produced) doesn't seem productive, especially when my work usually has received a positive hearing here and on other enthusiast forums.

You have to find the irony and hypocrisy in this.

"Can I call Jews Nazis?"

"No"

"Can I call Jews Nazis?"

"..."

"Well I guess your silence says everything I need to know!"  

[benji]

I think the broader issue with the "N-word" is that Era permits it in basically every imaginable case other than Jews.

I'm not saying they should be allowed to call Jews Nazis, but since it's never treated as a sensitive or high-impact word (Trump is a Nazi, JK Rowling is a Nazi, Warren Ellis is a Nazi), then suddenly getting popped in the context of Israel seems incongruous. 

I mean, consider that the word "cunt" has more consistent enforcement.

"But they're acting like Nazis!" is a weak argument. The stronger argument is "But you allow us to use it as half-assed shorthand for 'no-no people' in literally every other context". But then in order to make that argument, they'd have to admit that is what they're actually doing in other cases and no different than what they wish they could do here.

Strange that the staff are rarely accused of acting like Nazis, not even in cases where they make clear that they love genocide.

Andy Weir, The Martian author, used AI to put his wife in costumes with her consent.

The second person looks familiar. Also, is his wife non-white? Or is he just doing brownface with a white wife? I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the orientalist racism and slight misogyny.

 He writes bad books now you can imply he's a racist.

Great moments in literacy:

Andy Weir: "I think it's only a matter of time before AIs can write better fiction than humans can. I may be part of the last generation of human authors. A bleak thought but at least I slid in under the line and got a bunch of money before it happened. 🙂 "

ah, the classic "fuck you, got mine"

Andy Weir: "I think it's only a matter of time before AIs can write better fiction than humans can. I may be part of the last generation of human authors. A bleak thought but at least I slid in under the line and got a bunch of money before it happened. 🙂 "

Lol that's not how it works: nobody wants to read/watch/play/listen to AI generated shit, even if it looks good.

Andy Weir: "I think it's only a matter of time before AIs can write better fiction than humans can. I may be part of the last generation of human authors. A bleak thought but at least I slid in under the line and got a bunch of money before it happened. 🙂 "

Man, simply this post in and of itself is such a huge fucking problem. At least he's congruent, he's a shit writer with nothing to say so of course he can't see the problem.

Pure unadulterated trash and a fucking scab.

[HaughtyFrank]

They don't seem to understand that he doesn't call this a good thing (in fact he calls it bleak) and that Andy Weir doesn't actually have control over whether AI exists or not

Wait, what? 

Is messy is quoting him out of context or he said this seriously?

[Boredfrom]

Is still a trash opinion, specially since he should understand how GenAI actually works.

This is the shit I expect from Musk when he gets high.

[Boredfrom]

Oh, he was a programmer. Man, why they fight so hard to keep the stereotype.

Not saying this to insult programmers or others that studied hard sciences. More like, I feel many of them has different ideas and priorities when it comes from art and creativity, I seen this before and people get on each other nerves. 

I get where he is coming from, specially reading about his writing style and themes, but I think is silly and, borrowing his words, bleak way on seeing art and its consumption.

(In that regard, given some criticism I have read about his prose, I guess an AI will end being a better writer in the close future than him)

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I am protesting commentating on Resetera until they are ALLOWED to call zionists NAZIS. 

It's called solidarity, y'all. Learn a little about it. B-dubs and the rest of those Zionist lovers on staff, and yes they are zionist lovers if they ban community members from calling a nazi a nazi, need to sit down, shut up, and listen to those who are actually suffering right now from western imperialism.

Hmmmm, so apparently it's the crossdressers that are the problem rather than the transes. My evidence? I just made this shit up. What was that? Why do so many teams women get arrested for take and have paedophile anime avatars? Yeah, I'm not talking to a bigot any more.

I think I would be the one making such a thing and I am out on medical leave atm and have completely other priorities beyond DLSS5 when I return. So I would Not expect anything until from me on DLSS 5 until this thing releases. I honestly Hope it does not Release and is instead "unlaunched". But If it released I would scarcely have anything positive to say about it as a Post process Screen Space Shader which radically adjusts art without Artist consent, is full of bias, and is overwrites physically simulated lighting and shadowing with non-sense Studio Lights and exposure tweaks.

IQ and Rendering accuracy tend to be my Videos at DF.

I thought you were a tech-focused person that loved GDC talks and the bleeding edge of gaming technology. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore, huh? You know this tech is the future. I know that you know that. Being dismissive will only give hope to people who think this will go away. When in reality generating the full frame is the future of rendering.

Path Tracing can radically change the work of artists as well. Several games look insanely different from what it was made to look like originally. Some of those same people will use DLSS 5. So what are you talking about here?

I expected more from you, being a tech-leading person, but it seems I was wrong.

it's freaking ghoulish

disgusting

They really do not care about peoples jobs or artistic design or the very soul that keeps this industry going.

They enjoy criticizing the work of others under the guise of hard journalism, but it has become more laced with an agenda and implicit bias.

What a little toad.

They're being overbearing and aggressive and show no respect even to the other people on their channel.

Seeing DLSS5 as a load of shite is one thing, but uh this is uhhh, wtf?

Is there a world where someone thinks "ah yeah could be good" or "impressive that it works at all at this level" without being called a uhhh disgusting overbearing toad?

star fox games sell like shit and they haven't made one since the shitty poorly received wii u one where miyamoto completely fucked the controls in order to support the pad and everyone hated it

fox is more known for smash than his own games anymore, they might as well have put captain falcon in there as a main character too

BUT at the same time I think that the Wizarding World is without a doubt one of the most successful IPs ever, one of the biggest and strongest. Fantastic Beast 2 and 3 didn't make as much money as Warner wanted but people keep streaming and buying the movies and the books, going to the theme parks and studio tour, buying a shit ton of merch, Hogwart's Legacy has sold like more than 40 millions units. My Instagram Stories feed was FULL on people posting the trailer or reacting to it, I saw a lot of people online telling stories of watchng the trailers with their children and feeling emotional because they are sharing this with them.

It is unfortunate that this will only give more money and power to JK, but I think that for most people, including the actors, the Wizarding World in infinitely bigger than whatever she says or do.

Most of the people that love the IP either don't know or don't care about what she says and do, their love for the IP is above and beyond that, some of them won't ever think there is anything wrong to enjoy something they have been loving for most of their lives, or even all their lives, they may not agree with her, but they love what she wrote.

It's almost like the popularity is part of the problem. I don't know why people feel a need to remind us, the people who are directly affected by it, how popular it is or how little people care. We're acutely aware. This isn't the thread for it.
