Maybe I’m mistaken about this because I don’t use Reddit. Aren’t circle jerk threads meant to parody and poke fun of the main forums? Ostensibly what this thread is to era. But they’re following the exact same script. What’s the point? It’s like if somebody here suddenly talked about buying a furry suit dressed as Heinrich Himmler to wear when watching Captain Marvel 2.

If there's one thing you can always guarantee, it's that the reseteerea crazies are always ready to shit up every kind of discussion forum, ruin every joke and are always angling to get on the moderation teams to make everyone suffer. Just look at that little cunt Shoista for example...

Rather recently there was an incident in my city where a large group of 12 and 13 year old kids harrassed an older trans woman in public both physically and verbally (she had to be treated in an hospital afterwards!) and because they were under 14 years old there wasn't much the police could do afterwards to punish that vile behaviour.
Sure, the parents are certainly at fault for it, but if they get off the hook that easily that also sets a bad precedence. That group is already infamous for such and other criminal behaviour.
For me, a trans woman myself, it was really scary to read about the story. It happened on the same way I take every day to work.

What is your opinion on it? I think, especially today where children seem to grow up way faster than decades ago, we should at least think about lowering the age of criminal responsibility, maybe to 12 years, so in such cases the officials have the ability to protect people affected by those acting against the law.

Also curious to know how the situation is in your countries!

Also, I hope my English skills didn't fail me here, it's not my native language. Apologies if anything seems weirdly worded.

I bought hogwarts to spite Resetera and the game was fairly decent for a stupid harry potter game overall

It certainly looked very pretty, which is more than can be said for much of the Resetera lynch mob that came for Avalanche

Deny them healthcare, remove them from peer groups in schools, have them be humiliated every day at school by forcing them to wear the clothes of the opposite gender in school and be called the wrong name. Then, when puberty hits, ensure they're injected with hormones of the opposite gender so they grow up with lifelong dysphoria and body issues.

Oh sorry that's what we do to regular non-violent trans kids.

As for these kids, there's no clear cut solution as frustrating as it can be. Teenagers can be vicious, cruel and violent but sending them to prison isn't going to correct that, it's likely to foster it. It would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis to understand why the kids are acting the way they are. No doubt it'll be imbued with toxic masculinity which points to educating and the need to encourage empathy and kindness through school. For those it won't reach are they acting out because of a lack of a safe home, desperate for a form of control and the ability to inflict fear and humiliate to blot their own experiences. Do they feel alone and a social pressure to conform to what their friends are doing to save from being ostracised themselves. The kids need time with therapists and social workers to understand the why of their actions, before any solution can be found. It will be personal and specific, so any blanket suggestion for the group will fall short if actual reform of their behaviour is hoped to be achieved.

Personally I have no love or particular care for these teens. My concerns lie with the children of my own community before those terrorising them or any of us. I just acknowledge that throwing them in a pit isn't going to help the issue and that there will — in a number of cases, but not all — be some underlying drive to such behaviour that can likely be addressed through social care.

But either way, this is the kind of discussion we should leave to mental health professionals.

But in the end, as one poster says, it is a kind of topic a mental health professional should be involved with.

Ah, well, topic handled. Just need a staff member to lock er up.

[Eric Cartman]

i think it is pretty simple. No matter how big of a piece of shit someone may be, generally no one wishes health issues on anyone else. Nevermind life threatening ones. This is basically an accepted common courtesy towards your fellow human beings.

HOLY SHIT THIS FUCKING THREAD

Above ban reason is 100% retarded - era cant fall over themselves fast enough to ban 'fuck china' and separate the government from the people, and defending your fucking country against a shitty driveby is clearly not 'trolling' - the poor cunt has where he comes from in france in his fucking bio!

So now the racism about a country is tolerated on Resetera ?
Great…

a) obviously it is, have you ever peeked into the ukraine ot?
b) your posting hints that you're likely french. surely you're aware of france's historical and ongoing colonial ventures, the structural persecution of muslims, and the current cultural context of the police execution of nahel. there's no need to run defense for... the french government? in a thread about the french government doing very obvious and hamfisted racism. it is actually not racist to call out racism.

So now the racism about a country is tolerated on Resetera ?

Not sure what you are talking about. The only racism in this thread is from those defending a racist law. People have a right to criticize a country and its racist polciies.

Yeah, France has some serious problems. I only just learned about the 1961 massacre of Algerians by the Paris police. The perpetrators of which never faced justice.

Wow! I can’t believe the game that’s just a Ubisoft open world, with wands and a mediocre attempt at Soulslike combat, didn’t have much of an impact (or staying power). And in a year packed with unique open worlds and complex role playing games, no less!

It’s almost like the only thing that was keeping it in the public eye was controversy, and the game itself was completely unremarkable.

The Harry Potter game had massive day 1 success but it failed to have any kind of longevity, probably because it mostly appealed to non-gamers and casuals.

I’m still waiting for it to go on sale at a steep, steep discount or to announce a quidditch dlc. But yeah it dropped off the face of the earth pretty quick once the outrage died out. At this point I have to wonder if the outrage wasn’t just a deliberate marketing tactic for an otherwise mediocre game.

Truly. It also doesn’t matter. HL already made bank and they apparently have a sequel planned. Unfortunately, the world picked nostalgia over supporting trans people. The only positive I can see of HL being outshone is that maybe this means people didn’t like it enough to buy the sequel and it can become a forgotten franchise.

Well, in HL you can choose voice and body type separately, and you can choose whether you identify as a witch or wizard separately from those.

One fucking act of terrorism against the US by muslim extremists, and they declared war on an unaffiliated country, invoked a UN treaty to drag a bunch of allies into it, and started rounding their own people up while bypassing their legal rights and shipping them off to a military blacksite in another country.

France has had multiple terrorist attacks by muslim extremists, and is also acting as a major refugee haven for thousands of muslims made homeless by that aforementioned fucking US led war, none of whom end up on american shores giving people in that thread the comfort to pretend muslim bad guys just dont exist or that any tensions caused by mass immigration or cocnern abpout violence is just 'racism'.

the abolutely INSANE part of that thread is that, IN THE OP:

The French Council of the Muslim Faith, an umbrella group of Muslim organizations, said that the abaya was not religious in its nature, but an ill-defined garment tied to Arab culture.

The sexualized poses of the woman being held captive, some of the character designs (including the fact that the panties of the playable female character becoming visible every time you jump) and overall the gratuitous violence against female characters makes this seem kinda suspect

Opening seems needlessly disturbing tbh.

Seeing such a focus on a woman being dismembered, tortured and in pain for an extended lingering duration makes me wonder what the dev makeup is.

The creative team on the project only seems to feature one or two women (thanks to nsilvias for the link and correction):

Publisher also doesn't seem to have any women in creative leadership:

Idk. What comes off to me as revelling in a woman being torn apart and in distress is a turn off, especially in service of an edgy backstory to a revenge plot. There doesn't seem to be any message there, especially when cut off from the game and used as a showpiece. Just seems like low hanging fruit for shock factor.

Shame because the art style and general flare is on point.

Yikes. Hard pass on this one

Literally the run cycle and every single jump will have upskirt?? Smh

Was sat here looking through these posts like 'Oh come on, surely it's not that bad'.
