Can you believe that the rpg company wanted me, a named forummer, to write for this writing job? Have they not seen my posts

[Jansen]

I'm sure their cancel campaign and boycott will work about as good as it did with cyberpunk. After BG3 larian is going to be coasting.

Holy shit some people here just want to be angry at anything.

These are pretty standard practices for big movies.

Don't make threads based on nothing but BlueSky skeets (ugh) rule when?

[kaleidoscopium]

Wow… we best ban all platforming of Larian games… just to be careful we don’t echo boost any fascists…

[HaughtyFrank]

When your big bombshell news starts with "So there was this engineer who watched Tim Pool videos sometimes and thought it was dumb that Magic the gathering made Aragorn black" and then only later drop "Oh yeah, I was also sexually assaulted by this other guy who randomly grabbed my crotch. Did I ever go to HR with it? Nope." I'm having a hard time believing you. Also at this point I'm honestly extra doubtful when the accusation comes from someone trans.

Can you be fired for your political beliefs? As horrible as it is, I assume this was in an European country which have much stricter Labour laws than the US. In the country it happened could they legally fire him for his views without an unfair dismissal claim?

Don't couch this in 'political beliefs'. This included abject racism (complaining that a character was black).

[Averon]

Ah, a classic canceling campaign. And of course doops is right in the middle of it driving it forward. This is what so many prominents on ERA live for if they're being honest with themselves. All we're missing is some accusations of transphobia and it will be perfect   

[kaleidoscopium]

Is this person confirmed to be former larian? Not doubting just don't see anything on the bluesky linking to a name or confirmation that they are credited, just the blurb in the header.

Believe it 100% though, I think it's horrible but most software companies are filled with fascists.

NOT FUCKING BIGOTRY

why the fuck is everything always a secret dogwhistle with these people?

someone who doesn't like aragorn being made black would also not like aragorn being made explcitly irish, or italian, or dutch (especially dutch), or muslim, or christian, or jewish with a yarmulke

its about the change, not whatever new attribute was assigned to him

these stupid motherfuckers

[kaleidoscopium]

Racism is not a political belief.

Yes, you can be fired for being racist at work and making your co-workers uncomfortable.

The racism in question being wondering why a magic the gathering card for Aragorn is black, lol

is it? it's kind of an interesting question

I would worry that a 3 line cameo would stand out and be annoying, like a lot of people remember these weirdos with single lines in these movies like batman's "no more dead cops!" or spiderman's "you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!"

side quest in gta would be fun and it also wouldn't be live action "you"

so did I make the right choice?

[malfoyking]

Blood in the motherfucking water!! they are straight up coming for Larian now. hahahaha. 

They are so predictable. No wonder its so easy to manipulate them.

 User Banned (1 week): Perpetuating Misogynistic Slur; Don't Do It Again

bye bitch nick

.....But it's not even directed at a woman this time?

Are these fuckwits seriously trying to consider the all-time, classic, go-to swear word "bitch" as "misogynistic"? In almost-current-year 2026?

Once again, you would HAVE to fucking ban 90% of the fucking users.... to have even a single donut crumb of rule consistency! 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Then again that user is probably on their hitlist

these people really have to get together and decide once and for all whether everything is political, or whether "debating someone's existence" etc isn't a political belief

“A little absurd they made Aragorn black in the LoTR crossover, don’t ya think?”

Sane Trans Employee:

[Boredfrom]

Did they change the skin color of Dr Eggman during the Sonic collab? The cowards didn’t even match Mr House Fallout’s Season 1 skin color.

[FEUER FREI.]

there is some really weird freak trans contingent bullying larian/swen across bluesky/x/resetera. no one else cares at all. and nothing even swen said is bad, he doesnt even like AI but recognises its use for during development but not as final assets. it's a tool like for creating placeholders and shit to accelerate faster iteration time considering how the time scale for game development has increased

not sure what exactly pissed them off when they were salivating on bear cock for months and claimed its the best trans/gay rpg of all time. probably just the typical reason, miserable cunts that are terminally online

[kaleidoscopium]

The line doesn't really matter. It doesn't actually matter if he knew. He's clearly a shitty person who has overseen a toxic workplace. The buck stops with him. He protected bigots from HR investigations enough that someone was afraid to make a report about being sexually assaulted for being trans right in the office. It's clear he can't lead.

Success and that Larian is using AI when he was shit talking Arc Riders. Anti Ai absolutists just hate the notion of AI being actually useful on something.

Zoe is taking advantage of the backlash to shit talk Larian for not hiring her (and trying to be relevant again) and the Trans Mafia is just following because they live from the drama even when is absurd.

[Averon]

What funny is how Larian went out of their way to appeal to these types who are now canceling them. No matter how much you appeal to the BlueSky contingents or what progressive record your have, you're always one step away from being cancelled and brigaded.

That Trans employee is totally a 4chan/something awful alumni with the “cultural Marxism” shit.  

Fuck ass grifters and ERA still falls for it.

I don’t think they appeal so much to them as the wokies brigades projecting hard on them. 

Is like the Smiling Friends fandom thinking that Mr Boss X Alan is supposed to be serious:
