Yeah cyberpunk being transphobic is an alternative facts thing on era. If anything it normalizes gender fluidity. Maybe it isn't executed the way they want, but that's not the games job. There's a lot of cringe and silly stuff in the games, like how 10% of the NPCs are just there to be hookers that say they want to get down but not actually do anything.

I still believe most of those people are just trolling, most probably not even trans. Any trans right advocate would hate what they're doing because words matter. Saying it's genocide isn't true, and doing it with every little thing takes away focus from actual bigots like some politicians and that attention would actually do something instead of "I don't like this thing so therefore hitler".

Currently enjoying the expansion.

Wonder if they cancelled that coopting trans genocide accessory and total asshole Keanu yet. Reee

This is concerning, to say the least. While autism is unquestionably a disability, it does come with aspects and benefits that would make the idea of treating autistic people extremely questionable. There's a reason neurodiversity as a concept is a thing.

"May one day pave the way for scientists to design treatments that allow these phases of brain development to proceed unimpaired" sounds eerily similar to eugenics to me

 

Also, generally speaking, autism doesn’t give you any kind of superpowers.

That's like saying ADD or allergies is a fundamental genetic identity.

Natural selection is messy, some shit isn't ideal and precision medicine can treat it. Because it's not always about your identity or you, we live in a society. Like I have ADD. Instead of waltzing around in traffic and being 10x more likely to kill others, I take my meds. Oh no, genocide

ADD's super powers are...being stoned without the euphoria.  At least Jessica Jones can drink lots of Jack Daniels and punch real good.

Also, adventure game fans should be more concerned about Daedalic being forced to make Gollum and dealing with the aftermath.

resetera hates daedalic for possibly justified reasons

There's a scene with a pedophile. What you need to do to progress the story is go inside his dark trailer and make an ink copy of his genitalia for a stupid Rorschach test joke. The humour is tried to be achieved by the main character Rufus being oblivious to the situation, but it comes off more as a trivialization of this serious topic.

A black woman is tricked by the main character to replace a black man in his former job as dancing like a monkey. It's even a joke inside the game that she wants you to bail her out as you promised, but you never to. The racist component is pretty obvious.

it's like monkey island 3 for retards

Will the trans shield be enough to save Hachimoto from a pile on? Or will she turn suicidal and ask for money after being piled on by alt-right chuds infilitrating era?

Normally, if someone writes something as stupid as she did, everyone would be taking turns pointing and laughing.

And to think hachi used to be a big time important law maker. If it wasn't for the Democrats getting her hooked on drugs, she would have single-handedly solved the trans genocide.

Thanks Obama.

As someone who knows a carer who looks after two adults siblings who are extremely autistic (nonverbal, shit their pants, tantrums, violent, etc) I can't even imagine how much the healthcare industry and society at large would benefit from prenatal screenings for autism. Sure some people will kick and scream over it (especially those with...) but thankfully we've already established that eugenics targeting the neurodivergent isn't genocide. Otherwise there'd be a thread about a Down Syndrome genocide on resetera, given how emphatically anti-genocide they are. Can't have your cake and abort it too, right?

Not to sound unempathetic but I will. If your potential spawn is gonna grow up to be a burden on your physical, mental, emotional, etc health, it's okay to delta and try again. 

Any response to this would be considered conservative.

So there's a thread on CDPR sales, but it's full of praise for Cyberpunk 2077 in particular. I'm certainly uncomfortable with that, but am unsure if the OT restrictions apply for something like this.

Personally i'm against parents aborting based on whether they want a boy or a girl since it's more to do with the parent's happiness than the child's, but I support their right to do it even though it disgusts me.

Why are they always so fucking uncomfortable with everything? What kind of people are these? Is it safe to listen to this person/group of assholes (RLM), they're so uncomfortable with this and that.

A person I see weekly had an autistic son about 3 years ago.  The transformation of her in body and mind is hard to watch.  We all make adjustments to support her but you can see the strain it's taken.  

NPR spoke with a father who wrote a book about his son with autism from his son's POV.  It includes lines like, "I finally got my toast but my dad is hunched over with head in hands and not saying real words."

It's easy to say that a baby without a skull or spine growing outside of them should be given mercy before it has to face the harsh reality of air and light.  But for those with debilitating autism (which I don't know if they can test for debilitating) or cerebral palsy can choose a no is a personal question.  A personal question I respect.  Rick Santorum chose to have a baby without a head and I wouldn't do that but the government should not be allowed to make that decision. 


In short.  All born should be able to perform as workers, educators, and .05% of them artists.

I’m waiting to find out how P3R handled the beach scene before I plop down the cash.

Not gonna lie, it’s hard for me to care about Metaphor knowing that Hashino is directing it.

 fucking Bungie…..
They come across as this really ear to the ground organization on social issues but shit like this still happens?

Is it all performative? Probably not, I’m sure there are people there that are really good eggs, but obviously some rotten ones there as well

whole industry is toxic and needs an overhaul, this is gross. I don't even know what to say at this point other than I hope the suit goes well and Bungie has to pay out.
I never want to work for a major corporation as a trans person.

Do they think there are organizations out there that are literally perfect? With no bad employees?

I hate to say this but I’m almost at the point of just saying “fuck it, build that stupid fucking racist wall”. Build one on the Canada border. Build east coast and west coast sea walls.

So we can fucking stop this horrible up and down debates and misspending on incomplete projects every time the regime switches parties every 4-8+ years.

Why would building these walls stop misspending on incomplete projects?

Sometimes I think these trans genocide/eternally online left/fauxgressive people think they are in some YA novel/movie/tv show fighting against the big bad entity.

Uh, they absolutely believe this. And that they've been cast as the hero.

The framing of this article is suspect, and we wont be hosting this discussion here.

What's the suspect framing? How are members supposed to learn what discussions are not productive if the staff keep everything esoteric all the time? How will this help Nepenthe find all the rules?

how come nothing on that list is using executive power to do real things like issuing regulations or enforcing existing requirements or naming the genocide and why do cis liberals spend five seconds googling for empty party propaganda and think they know more about trans rights than career trans activists, these are truly the foundational mysteries of the universe

Because the Biden Administration isn't run by people who want to fatalistically send a losing case to the Supreme Court as fast as possible to create a justification for violence?

"May one day pave the way for scientists to design treatments that allow these phases of brain development to proceed unimpaired" sounds eerily similar to eugenics to me

Circling back around to this, it's not eugenics because eugenics had/has both a moral and collective necessary component to it. Improving the life of an individual, by stripping them of superpowers, is not eugenics because it's not an attempt to improve the moral fitness of humanity.

I will never understand why some people want their country to be overrun with millions of illegal immigrants who contribute very little and end up in poverty or worse.

Slavery never ended in the US. They just replaced it with a minimum wage that's below a living wage.

If you think about it, slavery would be far too expensive to continue anyway. Having to house, feed and care for your human property is very expensive. Better to just pay them fuck all and not have to worry about any of that stuff.

How to fuck up your kid's life and still get praise from ResetEra's shittiest admin:

Dude makes this post:



A quick summary:

1: Yasuke has a (sadly) fucked up middle school kid who is getting bullied.
2: Yasuke is in therapy.
3: Yasuke's kid is also in therapy.
4: Yasuke's kid almost certainly isn't queer but going through puberty, like every other kid at that age.
5: Yasuke proceeds to completely blame the baby-mama and throw her under the bus, saying his son 'has issues with his mom', instead of taking any kind of personal responsibilty.
6: Yasuke confesses he has no idea how to help his kid.
7: Yasuke appears to be relying on school counsellors to fix his kid, instead of himself.
8: Yasuke has 19,300+ posts on Era.

By all accounts, Yasuke is what is more commonly known as a 'failed parent'.

But what does one of ResetEra's dumbest fuck Mod's have to say about this series of events?

That you would even make this thread at all speak very highly of you

The only thing it speaks is 1, you're a moron Royalan, and 2, 99% of this kid's issues stem from having a useless, self-centered father.

Seriously Yasuke. Try spending more time with your kid, instead of with ResetEra. 19,300 posts, smh.

Alot of these morons should be sterilised and prevented from breeding.

You guys are going to get surprised in what is considered a living wage in some parts of the world.  

But immigrants are lazy, according to Nintex.

They funny part is that they completely agree with this position that "seems eerily similar to eugenics to me" just as long as it's done to the chuds.

[benji]

You guys are going to get surprised in what is considered a living wage in some parts of the world.  

Static thinkers believe there's a single permanent living wage that can and should be doled out to everyone regardless of circumstance. But you'll notice that they almost never define it. And the few times they do it quickly becomes defined in purely relative terms. Their real concern is that some crabs seem to be escaping from the bucket.

[Uncle]

Slavery never ended in the US.

for people who say stuff like that, I always wonder what the point is of calling it slavery if the slaves are generally happy, like, not misled to feel happy just because they're not being abused, but actually able to relax and browse the web, watch movies, buy video games, go on vacation, leave jobs they don't like for other ones etc

it's like saying "the holocaust never ended, now they just let jewish people die of old age instead," well shit feel free to holocaust me that way, I'll sign up for that

This was actually one of the forms for the defense of slavery that the South turned to as abolitionist sentiments finally started to gain traction in the North: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_as_a_positive_good_in_the_United_States

Most Northerners, like Lincoln, still believed Blacks were an inferior class of humans (or perhaps subhuman altogether) so slaveholders tried to target this as Northerners were reluctant to admit Blacks were good enough to properly enjoy freedom let alone anything approaching legal, moral or social equality.

They couldn't survive on their own clearly, so we give them a job, housing, food, etc. We just need to shave down some of that cruelty out there, although it's not really cruelty since it's the only way to get the chuds in line, violence and pain is all they understand.

[Uncle]

I am aware, but they clearly weren't afforded the same freedoms, or would've received them on a leash, like "you're allowed to see the latest Marvel movie at the slave theater every Thursday in the afternoon"

if modern US slaves can have the freedoms they do and still be considered slaves, then practically the entire world are enslaved

(this is where you're supposed to say "you're sooo close to getting it")

You're not close to getting it. Those slaves couldn't see the MCU. That's why it was wrong.
