Every day I'm more convinced this place has posters/mods that work for special interest groups. They're spreading and reinforcing the same messages as the twitter bots and they're so unreasonable it's like you're not having a real discussion. This place has gone wild.

"Could people actually disagree with me and have the staff always been like this?"

"No, they must now work for Israel."

I didn't post in that thread because I know a disaster when I see one lol. But even then I'm still shocked at how bad it turned out. They're banning people for nothing in there!

Let’s just say it’s more than a little suspicious that every single one of these motherfucking ghouls keep repeating the right wing idea of ‘bed time’ and ‘a good nights sleep’.

 User Banned (2 Weeks): Transphobic Rhetoric

I think we need to see his browser history

 

We are still doing that? “Is bigotry to imply that bigots are secretly into their object of hate… even if the TransERA says it all the time.”

It is super clear that the boss call went out from AIPAC. Everyone attacking him for his latest rightwing smear regarding Jew and the conflation with Zionism and Israel are not up the the task of defending against fascism and must resign.
If you who read this have tried make this attack I want you to know I have nothing but the deepest contempt for you. I have no idea what you are, and why anyone would even by chance want to be and stay on the same side as a regime carrying out the biggest genocide is decades.

This guy really hates jews and is very angry that you don't too

It's an easy ban for antisemitism bdubs, make a point, don't be a chicken shit

I believe b-dubs is legit scared off banning Hamas Era. He bans two or three but only if he can also ban people from the opposing side. He's scared off another riot if he were to actually ban everyone of them who deserves it. And it's so dumb because they accuse him of being anti-leftist anyway

He is scared because he knows his online social circle would enforce that label like they did when Nepenthe implied he was a racist. He still thinks he is in the GG days or when MeToo had full support.

Still not sure about the dissonance of two seemingly more relatable, more grounded protagonists that are small time criminals murdering tens of police officers, but that's GTA for you lol

Oh boy the bickering is starting already

Minimizing the insane achievement the people at Rockstar have here just to get some internet points is what's really obnoxious.
Imagine being overworked but being able to take pride in what you created just for a guy on the internet to dismiss it as "unnecessary graphical pomp" lmao

GTA VI really has the potential of having the chuds and the wokes try to out-ree each others:

-Sexy girls in bikinis everywhere
-If like previous GTAs, plenty of hysterical women
-Jokes and violence towards sex workers
-Probably "transphobic" jokes, although I expect Rockstar to walk on egg shells here, maybe even go trans-positive
-The ACAB crowd vs thin blue line crowd
-Latinx racial stereotypes
-Cuba/communism will probably come into play
-Jokes at the expense of southerners/Floridians
-Most likely a Trump-like political figure and a Mar-a-Lago location 
etc.

2013 was so long ago
It will be both the wokiest and chudiest game ever.

Speaking of Nepenthe, interesting how she hasn't shown up in any of the Hasan threads despite being such a big socialist. I'm guessing she's holding back because of clips like this

Not bad enough for her to condemn him but bad enough for her to think he ain't shit

Rockstar already showed their ass with Vice City:

In November 2003, the Haitian Centers Council and Haitian Americans for Human Rights staged a protest in New York City publicly criticising the game, contending that it invited the player to harm Haitian immigrants and claiming that it depicted Haitians as "thugs, thieves and drug dealers".[105] In response, Rockstar issued a press release apologising and acknowledging the concern, but insisted that the violence should be taken within the context of the game, which also contains violence towards other ethnic groups.[106] When New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg threatened distributor Take-Two Interactive with legal action, the company apologised and removed offensive statements from future copies of the game.[107] In January 2004, North Miami's majority Haitian-American council filed an ordinance to ban the selling or renting of violent games to anyone under 18 without parental permission. The proposal, apparently sparked by Vice City, was supported by North Miami mayor Josaphat Celestin, who stated "We don't believe the First Amendment was written to protect those who want to incite violence".[108]

Don't know why I have to keep reminding y'all not to trust corporations and instead arm up and find out where their executives live. I bet if Mamdani tried to take down Rockstar a bunch of the yt libs on Era would whine about it rather than get in the streets.

It’s not a crazy conspiracy theory. Hillary 2016 paid people to post on Neogaf. I don’t think anyone is wasting money on Resetera though.

Maybe the game turns like this after all

Yeah, just see Cyberpunk. lol I remember back in the day there was a news report about CDPR and they started asking the devs about the trans backlash and I first thought "oh wow, they're really going to bring up that Resetera talking point" and then it turned out they were talking about right wingers being mad that the game has trans options. And then they cut to the CDPR devs talking about how the backlash is upsetting but they think inclusivity matters. 
Like just inverted worlds from Resetera lmao

Edit: ah of course there was also that time the trans writer of the game "Red Strings club" was declared transphobic by a games journalist

The open world looks like 360p->4k via low quality PSSR, and there is literally nothing happening beyond around 200m

Too bad next gen will no longer have enough VRAM to run it in native 4k with ray tracing

Everything old is new again:

Published on Nov. 26, 2003

Activists from the US Haitian community have joined in a protest against Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City at New York's City Hall, claiming that the title "advocates the killing of Haitians as entertainment."

The protests follow a feature run by American station CBS in a section called "Shame On You", which alleged that Vice City is a game with an "ugly, racist twist" and accused Rockstar Games and its president, Sam Houser, of "cashing in on racism and violence".

"Players are instructed to exterminate an entire ethnic group," howled the report, referring to a section in the game's dialogue which states "I hate those Haitians. We'll take them out, we'll take these Haitians down."

"To kill the Haitians like beasts, like nothing, you are attacking our self-esteem, our respect and everything that we have," commented Dr Henry Frank, director of the Haitian Centers Council. "You don't know where you are going to get some crazy mind who will apply exactly what they have seen on the game."

To back this up, the report helpfully drags up a self-confessed Vice City addict who told CBS that "I think you have to have a strong mind to be able to play this game and not want to go out and kill people."

Now the controversy over the portrayal of the ethnic minority group in Vice City has reached a new level, with protests at New York's City Hall, and a statement released yesterday by the Haitian Centers Council and Haitian Americans for Human Rights which condemned "a cultural attack on the millions of Haitians living in the United States."

The Haitian organisations are expected to announce actions to be taken against Rockstar Games in the near future.

Of course, the fact that the group referred to as "the Haitians" in the game is in fact a rival drug trafficking group, rather than being a generic term for an entire ethnic group, doesn't seem to have been considered. Never let it be said that the American conservative media would let the facts get in the way of a good dose of outrage.

After all, that area of the media has been getting good mileage out of Grand Theft Auto recently. Only weeks ago, the game was widely condemned after two teenagers who shot and killed a driver on a local highway stated that they had been influenced by scenes in the game. The family of the murdered man is now suing publisher Take 2 Interactive in a $100 million lawsuit.

Notice the different tone and who is attacked by the game journalist in this 21 year old article versus Schreier demanding answers of Rockstar.

The dubs showing his petty side

User Banned (Permanent): Justifying sharing of intimate photos without permission, account in junior phase

Beyond the misleading quoting of the cosmopolitan article, how is this even an issue? The nude photos were unsolicited and by all accounts that would make him the target of sexual harassment. If a woman received unsolicited nude photos nobody would bat an eye if they showed them to a journalist.

I'm not even sure what mizkifs opinion has to do with this, but if you send someone unsolicited photos what rights do you expect to maintain over them?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-attack-on-hasan-piker-by-centrists-democrats-is-disgraceful-and-borderline-islamophobic.1614361/page-14#post-159664726

So this means that the official Era record is that that Hasan shared "intimate photos," of a underage person?  And yet they defend him?  Yeah, Era is not getting rid of it's pedo branding any time soon.

This mean that if you bring up the fact that Hasan "shared" photos of underage girls you would be telling the truth.  The full story is that he was sent the CSAM, unrequested, and he shared them with a journalist or something.  But the first statement is still correct.  

A good summary. https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-attack-on-hasan-piker-by-centrists-democrats-is-disgraceful-and-borderline-islamophobic.1614361/page-13#post-159659443

Mind you, he's unconsensually sharing these nudes that were sent to him from an app mostly used by teenagers, to a reporter from the Cosmopolitan.

And this wasn't just a one off thing, there was a whole thing where he was showing off nudes to other streamers, to which Mizkif defended him by saying "they were just pornstars." As if that somehow strips them of rights to any nude photos they take.

On top of that, other streamers have had to laugh off quite obvious sexual harassment because it was apparently just a joke.

For the rest of Era they acknowledge he's a sex pest.  But maybe a good sex pest?  I mean, Trump isn't perfect either but he was clearly sent by Christian God to save us.
