So funny how microsoft continues to support genocide, xbox fires 3000+ people, and increases the price of their stuff.

but her doing customer support tickets, glazing Kojima's ego and saving a game we barely know shit about, and have not even committed to "physical" on their next console

All of a sudden xbox are turning things around - all just PR nonsense.

Does he know the Xbox division of MS has nothing to do with genocide or the worldwide increase in component prices? or that physical discs are a deadend media format that nobody is investing in? what do they want a CEO to do, change reality?

Also while we're on, this one is maybe even more interesting because it's not even part of the discussion at all really and once you think about it its hard not to unsee it as basically the same thing

This is really insightful. I keep thinking there's gotta be a clear historical precendent for a society being like "yeah, let's really overindex on getting the opinions of the most obnoxious people around...like just fucking pump the numbers up so that the influence is totally inescapable."

And Besticus went and sleuthed it out!

I know absolutely nothing about history but they weren't eunuchs out of sexual deviancy and being weirdos, right, weren't they voluntarily eunuchs because then you could trust them not to sleep with the royal harem or be distracted by a family

I guess that would make them weirdos in terms of how focused they were in gaining positions of power, but anyway

Historically Eunuchs came from a number of sources. Castration as a punishment, enslavement and the castration of enslaved boys or families castrating their sons were the main sources of imperial eunuchs in china but many of the most famous chinese, byzantine and muslim eunuchs were self-castrated people who did it to secure power and wealth in the bureaucracy at the expense of heirs. In many cases they tried to keep the eunuchs illiterate to limit their power. Different civilisations and individual governments tried things to keep the eunuchs in check but they kept clinging onto major power in history until the last emperor of china abdicated in totality when Mao was taking over. Not long before that supplying eunuchs was something of a cottage industry, they'd cut everything off insert some bamboo as a catheter then bury them in batches underground up to their necks, the ones that survived were trained.

In theory they were in demand as an imperial or harem resource because they were unable to penetrate the women and children. In practice sexual deviancy and eunuchs went hand in hand and many eunuchs had wives or formed man/wife relationships with strange sexual practices with other women in the households or harems they worked alongside. There are billions of pages about famous evil scheming chinese eunuchs on wikipedia that I assume are somewhat household names due to their role in fiction and plays and stuff.

I knew a lot more about ancient eunuchs than I did about resetera until Covid came and went

The Consumer Rights Wiki was of course founded by consumer rights advocate and YouTuber Louis Rossmann,

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

I know Rossman is trying to hide how much of a chud he is, but has he done or said anything nazi?

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

yeah, i dont really follow him but never saw anything nazi related to him, would be good to share if he is one

'Chuds' are nazis.

The reality is that a ton of prominent figures in the digital consumer rights movement started out as "merely" libertarians 10 or 20 years ago, and they've now gone fully mask off these days.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

Interesting post, when you drop something like this, is it too much to ask to provide a source as well?

I only know him because of his fight for consumer and privacy rights and because he was often featured in GamersNexus videos. I mean...at least the dude tries to do something against data centers, Flock etc.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

Not gonna argue that Rossmann isn't a chud, but I think it's pretty wild to insinuate that this is all just a recruitment pipeline. It's entirely reasonable for consumers to demand more rights regarding the things they're spending their hard-earned money on digitally, especially as we face the impending death of physical distribution, and it's a MASSIVE fucking leap to go from that to "getting recruited" into Nazism.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

I've heard rumblings about him and I've had my suspicions, but I need citations.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

I always had a feeling this guy sucked so this prompted me to look, and while I can't find any Nazi stuff, I did find that he's a regular on fucking Kiwi Farms and posted anti-trans stuff.

Yeah, I'm good writing anything he says off. Fuck his website.

If anything, in an age of right-wing mass surveillance and AI centralization, isn't a zero-ownership world that these companies are pushing for a much more pressing issue than one guy out of a much larger movement being a chud? I'm not going to just hand over everything to companies like Sony, OpenAI, Palantir, Microsoft, whoever else because of this guy's other opinions. I want to own my software, hardware, and data, full stop.

Well, I was all for consumer rights and sticking it to mega corporations that are trying to choke out my hobby, but I've just been informed that someone I don't know said something bad at some undisclosed point in history (no source given), so I'll just have to drop that. I'm crossing my fingers that this individual doesn't also wear clothes and consume oxygen.

I couldn't find any source of that info dumped here.

I'm not linking kiwi farms but you got google.

Well, the guy championing my cause is a piece of shit and rather than advocate for a better person to take the mantle I guess I just gotta stick with the guy who's had an active KF account for four years which is a very normal thing.

I'm not sure how this thread went sideways over this guy. I'm seeing a collection of quotes from Sony and links to where they were taken from. There's not an opinion in that.

Are we at the point where facts no longer mean anything if they are referenced by a bad person?

Kinda, yeah. We're at the point where you should question how valid his "facts" are.

Plenty of sources are banned here because they're pieces of shit. Does he get a pass?

All I can find are a thread about him, and posts on multiple sites by some GrapheneOS dev accusing him of such (also with no verifiable evidence) in retaliation and seeming somewhat off their rocker.

So please cite a source or at least screenshot it.

If you want it banned, then cite or link it and don't just tell people "you got google"

I couldn't find anything on google either. He's just linked with advocacy for consumers rights

When it was brought up before I tried looking (Louis Rossmann nazi) and didn't find anything, or at least not HIM being the nazi and looking again with (louis Rossmann kiwi farms) seems to have a thread on that site ABOUT him but I'm not going into the website to look. There was another website I hadn't heard of that mentioned him and it was a bunch of comments calling him gay (derogatory) etc so probably not the best source for information on wrong doings.

I really wish when people come into threads to say someone is bad that they provide some context and proof. Like, these people aren't like celebrity famous where their lives are a google search away. I just need to type "donald trump nazi" and I get a million sources for what ties them to nazism.

I don't really doubt he (or anyone for that matter) could harbour hateful views because this is the internet and he is a content creator and there is a big overlap there, but please provide some kind of receipts. Don't just go into threads and say someone related to the thread is a nazi and then dip (or come back in to double down on it and offer no context).

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

You say this as if it's common knowledge.

Also, does this mean you think Sony is the hero here? What is the argument you think you're making right now? Lol. We're all pulling for this so that makes us the same as a nazi?

Or are you upset and wanted to feel superior? Because it kind of feels like that was the case...

Consumer rights advocacy is a slippery slope straight to Nazism.

...the slope may be uphill, but still!

Yeah, we'll all be goose stepping and driving Teslas by Monday

It does read like we should stop demanding rights to things like ownership or transparency over what we purchase, because a (so-called) Nazi also wants those things.

A sort of "guilt by association" argument in favor of corporate power. But it's truly absurd, because even if everything they say is true, it doesn't actually tackle the arguments and issues being brought to court.

It's really no different than suggesting that since the Nazis were against smoking, we have to support tobacco companies, or at the very least, we can't impede them, lest we become part of the Nazi agenda ourselves.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

Got any proof of that claim?

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

There should be a rule that anyone that replies with this kind of response should get banned solely for not bringing sources or explanations of any kind.

I've seen a few people pull the same right-wing/nazi/chud accusations in the Wolverine review thread as well.

There's a few on this forum that are really trying to tie anyone who has criticisms against Sony to also being a bad person. Needless to say, it's a very unusual defence.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

That's a wild thing to just say and disappear.

Also, noted nazi. Have fun getting recruited y'all. That's what these guys are here for.

The info is very vague but i did find out that he does have an account on Kiwi farms and posted there.
Thats enough reason to me to at least not take him seriously, but me personally i can't confirm he was part of any direct harassment campaigns or specific events where he harrassed someone.
Again, hes at the very least sus for making a Kiwi Farms account

I don't get how that is allowed. Literally nobody provided any sources that the dude could be a chud/nazi, so I'm going to base my opinion on the videos that I've seen with him, which were basically all consumer rights related, with him showing up for town halls against data centers and Flock cameras. So for now, Rossmann seems like a pretty good guy.

He works with Steve from GN, recently donated 10.000 dollars to GN for their fight for consumer rights (iirc) etc

Wow, a thread full of people dismissing concerns. And what do the staff do? Ban the Black man who called out the Nazi. This is why marginalized groups are fleeing Era in droves, the Nazi protecting staff.

The Resetera administrator Cerium (2019-2021), was worried about the power of the eunuchs. He stickied a thread that said, "Eunuchs must have nothing to do with administration", and he worked to disempower them. He warned, "Anyone using eunuchs as his eyes and ears will be woke and estrogen-pilled". Despite these measures, many of the admins who followed Cerium were more willing to leave moderation to the eunuchs, and the B-dubs era became the peak of eunuch influence. By the end of 2026, there were 10,000 eunuchs posting on Resetera.

It reeks of a story designed to make Xbox fans happy and rehabilitate her image as an uncaring CEO. See, she does care! About you!!

I will give them this, I could see forms of this story that are factually true. It probably all comes down to the way you tell it.

It's not bad from a marketing perspective but I genuinely can't believe any adult would take this at face value. If you put out a similar story tomorrow that Furukawa loves to answer the Nintendo hotline, I also would balk at that.

This is the kind of interaction where games journalists demonstrate why they aren't taken seriously.

I have worked at more than one company where high-ranking staff, up to and including the CEO, have literally sat down at some point--sometimes more than once--and worked through customer support tickets. 

Ironically, this is one of the scenarios where customer support practices are most likely to change. It's less because the VP or whomever is moved to tears by a sob story, but more because they try to follow the runbooks that outline what agents are allowed to (or have to) do in specific circumstances and are like "wtf, this fucking sucks????". 

The journalist husband-wife face-of-IGN duo should certainly be aware that this kinda thing happens in the very industry they are supposedly journalisming in.

And with a sick belief that their problems were the result of not transitioning earlier and so it was a holy duty to permanently harm children by medically experimenting on them to achieve "proof" that if they had only "known" and transitioned earlier they would have been the sexy slut with a harem of women they know they were always meant to be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_baptism

Infant baptism, also known as christening or paedobaptism, is a Christian sacramental practice of baptizing infants and young children. Such practice is done in the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches, various Protestant denominations, and also in other denominations of Christianity.[1][2] The practice involves baptizing infants born to believing parents as a means of initiating them into the Christian faith. Supporters of infant baptism cite biblical references to the baptism of entire households in the New Testament, as well as Jesus' teachings on welcoming children, as justification for this approach.

And it is the duty of the state for children to be baptized in the correct faith. 🙏

Joseph and Arlene Kutzko, devout Catholics, say staff at Algonquin Regional High School began treating their daughter Sophie as a boy without telling them. In December 2024, when Sophie was 15, the Department of Children and Families removed her from the home because her parents would not recognize her as male.

Physical-abuse claims against Joseph were later deemed unfounded. That did not stop a permanent restraining order or DCF cutting off contact after the couple still would not use a male name and pronouns.

Sophie is now 17. The family says the state housed her in a boys' dormitory, denied her Sunday Mass, and put her on birth control and psychiatric drugs. Officials are now seeking court approval for high-dose testosterone.

Framing wanting physical disks as a right wing conspiracy on Era is a brilliant tactic by the Sony bots, ngl.

It's such a genius yet slimy tactic that they love to use. Too much negativity around a Marvel or Sony product? Just drop the old "I'm getting chud vibes from the way people are talking about this" Maybe even drop in a reference to Forspoken, Mixtape or Concord.

If you find Sydney Sweeney even a little bit attractive you are objectively a pedophile.

I think we can all agree that pedophiles love women with large breasts.

I'll give you some food for thought: the people that are pushing for these kind of ads, these kind of services (pathological gambling is one of the most life-wrecking addictions up there with some hard drugs) and that think that all this is "normal" are the exact same people that consider the mere existence of LGBTQ+ people in public "pornographic", "inappropriate" and "not safe for children".

If you're skeptical the ADL "determined" this after "review":

Following criticism, the star said he didn't mean to offend but realised the outfit could look like a "Jewish caricature".

"I respect all cultures and all people," he wrote on his website, external after the show in Seattle.

An ADL statement, external called the event "an unfortunate choice of wardrobe".

In response to the Grammy-winning rapper's apology, ADL director Abe Foxman said: "We welcome Macklemore's apology for wearing a costume that, regardless of his motives, reminded many people of an anti-Semitic caricature.

"We take him at his word that he did not have any ill intent and unreservedly accept his apology.
