What kind of spastic cunt unironically says leftoid.

[Boredfrom]

Gene Park is one of those guys who seems to be friends with racists and fascists, in a manner that reminds of Ezra Klein or Boogie2988 where he does a respectability politics of at least he can have a conversation with such types and isn't that just fantastic, and he thinks it's his job as an advocate to educate such people. He worked with Colin Moriarty (had a show of his own at Last Stand Media) and talked about his reasons to work there on Era and got defensive about Colin in regards to anti-Asian racism (keep reading more of the thread), and is friends with him, attended his wedding, etc. He had an odd review/defense of Stellar Blade as if it represented Korean beauty, and he responded to criticism about his piece on Era. I used to appreciate his journalism until a few years ago with the Colin Moriarty stuff, so it's a shame to see him in chud circles again.

Messy with the dossier shit, again.

How much of a bitch you need to be to pretend that didn’t ended with ZeroVagina getting banned for annoying Gene Park.  

Fucking wife buyer shit talking others about respectability politics.

Edit: Boredfrom already covered it.

Messy again being a creep with his dossier. Wish someone would call him out on it. The amount of effort he puts in to meticulously document every "crime" some prominent person is "guilty" of online is insane. And he has it so well formatted and catalogued that he can seemingly pulling it out and post it ASAP. I know the dossier thing started as a joke, but I really do think he actually does have a literal dossier on various people on his PC.

This is supposedly a grown, married man doing this seemingly 24/7.

They are spamming the Gene park wrong think tweet on various threads:

Someone definitely wants to shit of Gene Park just for not going mental against a Trump’s cronie.

(Is more embarrassing that the Trump’s cronie is a Paul Tessi fan  )

[Propagandhim]

He had an odd review/defense of Stellar Blade as if it represented Korean beauty

It was a perfectly reasonable review and it isn't odd that Park said the game's aesthetics and character design were representative of Korean beauty even if the main character was sexualized - only in draconian, repressed societies is that considered unacceptable and incompatible.  Your horrible religion treats women like dogs and covers up even female children head to toe in black, that's odd.  Saying even Ezra Klein doesn't pass the smell test for being a leftist....that's odd.  Getting your parents to chaperone your 2 pre-marriage dates and being a therapist and making appointments with another therapist to get you to stop eating icecream....that's odd.  Mess is a strange little man.

 User Banned (3 Months): Racism, prior severe ban for dismissing racism

Roaches finally got a taste of the raids

What's funny about this ban is that Black ERA gets to call their fellow people racial slurs all the time ('coon' is their favorite one), and no one gets banned for that at all. In fact, it's encouraged.

Dude, there are so many instances of Era users typing out the hard-R n-word uncensored, without any bans or post cleansing. It makes absolutely no sense why a site as extremely oversensitive as Era wouldn't even bother to purge the word or have a word filter.

I know this is a conversation that perhaps controversial when talking about these movies, but I can't help nowadays to feel that its wild that there is not a single person of color among the cast of so many heroes, lol, and even IRL the actors who are POC are hidden behind masks playing Orcs.

That's.... kinda wild to me.

Other than that, yeah, these movies are great, no doubt. The rohirrim charge is still quite possibly the best reinforcements has arrived scene in any fictional media.

I remember as a kid I had WWE Day of Reckoning on the GameCube. When you created a character for the story in that game, where you are supposed to name your character it already said "Default" where the name was, naturally you are supposed to replace that with the name you wanted. I did not know what the word "Default" meant when i was a kid, so i thought that was the default name (lol) kind of like how in Final Fantasy 7 on PS1 it gave you the option to change Cloud's name in the beginning from Cloud to whatever you wanted. I thought the name "Deefault" sounded badass so I kept it as that, i also did not know the proper pronunciation of the word default so I was thinking the characters Canon name was "Deefault". I played the whole game like that. One day I had a friend of mine visited me and I was playing the game with him, he was like "why is your characters name Default", and i was like "thats the name your character has automatically", and my friend had to explain to me what the word "Default" meant and then I realized I was an idiot.

Another example of this from earlier in my life is the word "Item", I rarely hear the word "Item" outside of video games, my first encounter with that word was with Pokémon Gold Version as a kid, that was my first Pokémon game and I was in elementary school, I had never encountered the word "item" before so of course I pronounced it wrong, i thought it was pronounced "Iteems" and produced it like that until the Ruby/Sapphire generation when my cousin heard me say it and told me how to actually say that word. I figured out the general meaning of the word once it become obvious the Item tab on the menu was where all my stuff is at.

Lots of other examples in my life growing up.

I just feel like certain words in the English arent ever used in conversations or even in texts books but appear relatively often in Video Games. If not for Video Games I feel my vocabulary would be drastically smaller.

Only thing I knew about it was that the lead dev is a piece of shit.

A year later, that's still the only thing I know about it.

Umm.... what about the fact it was pretty much the first EVER triple A budget console Chinese video game?

What about the fact it was a brand new IP from China that somehow sold Pokemon and Call of Duty numbers?

What about the fact people assumed the game looked too good to be true, and was gonna suffer a huge graphics downgrade, but ended up proving them all wrong?

Fucking virtue signaling tourist.

[HardcoreRetro]

Here's what Letitia's voice actor had to say on that shit.

“I find your interest in my characters for this video game interesting to say the least. As I read a very bad review saying black people don't talk that way?! I find irony in more white folks trying to sound black to the point of a black woman playing the role of a an old black American woman…I was hurt by it. I am an African-American who has lived in Quebec now 28 years, and acted professionally for 25 years. With films, voice over, cartoon voices, children's theatre and yada yada, you can google my name. IMDb. One thing I am most definitely aware of is…shit is messed up.” says Strawn.

“So why pick on the "blackness” that one is commonly use to hearing? Because it is the blackness society has successfully deleted as suitable in the "White Man's World." Which many of us aspire to get along in. Simply because we are Americans and conditioned by this shit ya dig?!

So who are the real racists anyway? Her for the stereotypical voice or the people feigning outrage over the supposed racism on her behalf.

I like that the first post pretty much agrees with the guy but because he ends it with "and it's good!" instead of a neutral stance it's okay?

DEI or affirmative action or whatever you want to call it is absolutely agenda-based in that it's meant to ameliorate historic imbalances, which is a cool agenda that we should all support. It isn't in opposition to quality since it provides wider perspectives that lend more insight that can improve quality.

But his "you can support it or not" is just a cowardly way to feign neutrality. I'm not familiar with this person going on, but the fact that he specifically painted a target on Sweet Baby Inc's head likely meansthat he's nothing more than yet another member of that hate campaign.

The game had a great start but the devs did nothing for years despite players begging for more content or at least a proper end game. People got tired of the bullshit and moved on. It was pretty much dead until the console release brought in new players but the end game was still poor and the numbers went down again. Amazon closing it down is the least surprising move.

Using DEI as a pejorative when he didn’t wanted to sound like an anti woke grifter (is a real term that existed for years, fellas  ). Using it is an easy way to get dogpilled by wokies.

anti-DEI pushback (like the entire existence of sweetbaby inc detected) is a symptom, not the cause.
Normies have noticed some absolute fucking bullshit being put into their preferred media, and are railing against it.
Nobody has a problem with film circuit indie films examining a teenagers exporation of their gender identity and sxuality to the background of reagans america.
Thats not what you want in fucking PUNCHMAN 7: THE CAPESHITTENING

Its like "Woke" became a pejorative, because normies are generally happy to accept that life rolls some people harder than others, and having some consideration for that is a fine thing to aspire to.

But when you're point of personal privileging people to jazz hands instead of applauding because some people have anxiety

Going further back, its the same deal as the old phrase "political correctness gone mad" - yeah, its a good thing to be aware of other peoples sensitivities, and where possible moderate your speech to avoid unintentional offence - but thats a far fucking cry from demanding people use Orwellian newspeak to discuss vertically challenged patriarchal heriditary power construct figureheads (JUST FUCKING SAY SHORT KING)

If someone's a consultant, usually they get HIRED to fulfill a role that the creators want to implement.

No one's being forced.

This is also fucking bullshit, because there is literally video evidence of sweetbaby inc giving a developer conference talk about bypassing the people actually making the fucking game and going to the (spit take) marketing teams to get them to forcibly impose your agenda, with implicit threats about getting your game cancelled on twitter if your characters aren't Benetton Advert enough in the screenshots

And what's supposed to be the difference between her and Tonya in GTA5? I don't remember any controversy about her performance and she's even more stereotypical.

So what's supposed to be so bad here? Is it that the first time you encounter a black lady in DE:HR, she talks like that? It would have been fine if there was another black lady earlier in the game who "talked normal"?

I come from the same neck of the wood as the developers so it might explain why the scene made the cut. We're not always up to date on American sensibilities, especially 15-20 years ago.
