Trust and Safety Specialist - Subject Matter Expert: Misinformation/Disinformation and Dangerous Conspiracy Theories - Occasional Writer - Voice Actor
3 weeks ago • Edited • Visible to anyone on or off LinkedIn

The job market is insane right now. The last two times I was looking for work, I was hired immediately by different well known companies. Now all I'm getting is the scam recruiters trying to data harvest and only get paid if they hire you somewhere. Like Rose, Tanisha, Mindlance, several dozen other companies that are shady, pushy, and the most unprofessional I've ever encountered.

I am trying to keep my head up, but I'm deeply worried that given the state of the world people might think Trust and Safety isn't needed anymore. It is. More than ever.

Anyone else had luck so far among my peers?

I guess being a moderator of Resetera probably would expose you to a lot of misinformation and dangerous conspiracy theories...

Sorry this happened to you OP. The victim blaming is insufferable and I'm glad mods are taking that shit out of the thread. Being robbed or having someone break into your place is hyper-stressful and violating and simply forgetting to lock your door once doesn't mean you deserve any of this. Glad you're OK.

Also lol @ the "it's not the poor man's fault, it's capitalism".... like ok, the guy is just venting about a shitty thing that happened to him, not asking for a political essay on societal ills FFS. I swear some people get off being smug and superior. Imagine saying this to a friend or colleague IRL who comes to you upset because their car just got broken into. "Well buddy, don't blame this man for doing this to you, blame poverty and capitalism for doing this to him! 🤓"

Well you see this is what happens when you cultivate a community of people who just virtue signal and purity test at every opportunity, this is the end result of that philosophy playing out in your threads you can’t act all surprised by these responses, I’d say 80% of the user base are bad faith actors just trolling the shit out of people with their virtue signaling posts

If my mate comes to me and says, "I left my car unlocked in a dodgy carpark where sketchy people hang out and my car got broken into", I'm going to laugh at him and call him a dumb cunt.

I understand the sentiment about singling out that mission's removal and how it may look, but when they removed 70% of the substories it feels extremely misleading. There's more than enough bad shit and discrimination in the world, without the need to imply that a game that removed so much content did so specifically to have to skip this one mission.

Of course, I wonder why even remove so much stuff. Substories are, probably, one of the easiest things to program, since they usually boil down to a few non-voiced lines and very basic mechanics. It's odd to see so much of that cut.

I appreciate that view, it just adds to the sting that, thanks to the Yakuza 3 Remaster getting delisted, this particular substory has now effectively been erased for most people after K3 comes out (unless you buy it before then).

True, it may not have been a deliberate decision fuelled by transphobia. Just stinks for those who really resonated with that particular substory.

But I don't think Kagawa being cast after being revealed as an (openly admitted) sexual harasser OR the transphobia in this just HAPPENING to get cut falls under that. I think there's very very very VERY good reason for people to be upset here, Overall, actually.

Also I gotta say fellas it's a little demoralizing as a trans person to see how quickly the topic of this being a very sweet trans substory that was cut (I literally don't care that the massage game was cut RGG could have, at the very least, made up a trans char to keep it. The ice cream got to stay.) was blown off to talk about substory number. I know it's Pertinent but it's completely eclipsed any of this being discussed. That sucks!

I think a lot of us really love Yakuza and want to make excuses for when something we love fails us. But I think we can't stick our head in the sand and pretend that this being cut when a lot of other elements were kept means nothing, you know?

I said some of the outrage.
Yes, hiring Kagawa is still shitty, which I place on Japan's blase attitude towards sex crimes.
And I don't think any transphobia was intended.
I just think the whole "Ichiban is being sidelined and RGG hates him" claims are utterly nonsense.

Intended or no, it's transphobia.

https://kotaku.com/overwatch-anran-face-comparison-change-voice-fareeha-2000666873

“I got to mourn Anran between the design I had hoped for her and the design we ended up with,” Andersen says. “Because I think in her comic and the cinematic Elemental Kin, there was a precedent set by it. There was an unspoken promise that said, ‘We are going to challenge the beauty standards plaguing—ransacking—media these days,’ right? The ozempic-chic, the ‘contour your nose, you have no nose, the tiniest nose,’ and I think because of that precedence, people feel understandably let down.”

She continued, “Overwatch is a trailblazer at challenging that, right? Of trying to break those molds, trying to explore the bounds of what it means to be good, what it looks like to be heroic, and I think the result we got says something else. It says something that leaves a bad taste in our mouths. It’s not the bold, optimistic swing that we know Overwatch to make.”

So.... the voice actress for the new Overwatch 2 character is.... saying that she's "mourning her character" because the devs betrayed the character by "enforcing toxic beauty standards" on..... the character she's voicing? 

Also, isn't it weirdly prejudiced to say that certain facial features (small nose, big eyes) automatically make you appear "docile" and "submissive"? 

And now they won. Truly impressive how quickly these companies still bend the knee

Damn. Crazy how what was basically a burka thread train of thought led to the designers "fixing" a complete non-issue. 

I'm sure OW has a ton of other bigger issues they could've announced that they're working on fixing, but nah.... pretty lady character needing to be less pretty is the top priority here.

Oh, and would ya look at this!

I'm asexual, too, and I noticed that it's kind of a problem with games like Baldur's Gate 3. Some of the romances I don't think require sex, but others do — including one for an achievement.

On the plus side, I feel very empowered when I reject them. Sorry not sorry, Gale!

I'm not sure if I have any recommendations. I know you can make an ace/aro sim in the sims 4! But that's not really a story-oriented game. I think Serana also turns you down if you try flirting with her in Skyrim. But that's just one character out of very many who do not.

Sleep apnea test. CPAPs suck, but they're effective and potentially life-saving.

Until the snoring gets better, maybe sleep on the couch and/or use earplugs/headphones.

Tbh, I'd love sleeping separately if I had a SO, but I'm asexual so… lol

Now.... why would an asexual man.... errr... I mean... they/them person have any business "sending" and "viewing" pornographic art on Discord?

Asexual just mostly means incel at this point tbh

Isn't Arcane big?

it's big, for a netflix show that people will forget in about 3 monhts.

I mean, DMC and Fallout got a boost on franchise sales because their shows. Hell, even Borderlands shit film helped the franchise.

Maybe LoL is kind of impenetrable for the casual gamer. 


https://www.resetera.com/threads/an-update-on-2xko-reducing-the-size-of-the-team.1430398/page-3

maybe call the game Arcane: Double KO or something, especially since they put half the cast of the show in it. but no, lets call it som dumbass name no one will get, release it unfinished, and ask for $100 for skin packs out the gate. its getting killed cause riot dropped a decade of money into this game and its an instant flop.

I can't believe a country based purely on greed and taking advantage of anyone and anything to make short term profits is lagging behind. Just shocked.

Yep, it is the Chinese century.

Yeah, the rest of the world knows it. That's why more and more countries are choosing to realign themselves with China. Not only are they leading in science and renewable energy, they're also more predictable and reliable.

No shit.

The US has reached the eating itself stage of capitalism.

Meanwhile, China is still dreaming of getting ahead. You can't compete with that, when everything on your side has become about extracting increasingly more money without regard to... anything else.

China's surpassing of the US exceeds far beyond EV tech, AI, and robotics automation. Their industrial capacity far outstrips America by several orders of magnitude.

China have been the superior option for a while if your buying most things. Everyone is lagging behind them.

China's manufacturing capacity, from the highest-of-high-tech to the lowest-of-low-tech far surpasses anything the USA has or could have in the near future.


The American Century of Humiliation and China's rise to the sole remaining global superpower is well underway.

If you want to see what the USA's future looks like, look at Russia. A barely developed country masquerading as a world power solely because it has nukes, a lot of ageing military hardware, and enough bodies to throw at most problems. A strip-mined strip-mall with a sham democracy ruled by oligarchs and strong-men tyrants.

Years ago, buying Chinese brands was "Well, it sucks, but it's cheap."

Today I bought some Realme headphones and it's like, "Why should I have paid €200 more for headphones of similar quality?"

This has been clear for a while. The chinese have been playing the long game by investing and building up technical know how while US companies focused on short term profits and trying to leverage US power to force everyone to not buy chinese goods.

Listen chuds, capitalism’s inherent drive for infinite growth is a fundamental contradiction, as the relentless pursuit of surplus value necessitates the exploitation of both labor and finite natural resources. This cycle inevitably leads to systemic crises and environmental degradation, as capital prioritizes the expansion of profit over the actual needs of society and the ecological limits of the planet.  Especially for AI. Don't get me started on AI and how it's used to replace the working class by concentrating all the value of human labor in machines owned by capital.   We have to sto...st.....bzzz.zzzz

CHINA TALKING POINT DETECTED.  BRAINCHIP SWITCH NOW.  BRAINCHIP SWITCH NOW.

*replaces brainchip*

Marx's teachings and the Chinese system wouldn't lag behind truly sustainable, capital growth in AI like this.  It's a shame, because China's ability to centralize infrastructure and develop to optimize growth through hyper-advanced automation really expresses how superior a system they have.  America's insistence on private short-term profits proves their inability to grow capital as fast as China and exploit the frontier of technology to increase industrial capacity With Joy for the Party.  That's why America lags behind in this system that I once thought lagging behind was the point, but now is not the point.  We need more and more unaccountable short-term liquidity injections into the Chinese banking class, energy, outsourced supply chains into the 3rd world, a cheap and deregulated labor supply, and systems to siphon infinite private data and intellectual property from the public to give breathing room for China's growth in AI (the thing that is good).
