Tom Brady is unbanned!!!

Any bets on how long till his next ban?

[Taco Bell Tower]

The game is amazing and I don't really see how Vavra's views impacted it. Simple as that. Not really interested in not enjoying a great game just for the sake of imaginary internet points for saying "fuck this", "fuck that...", "glad I never played it!!", "if you've played KCD you're the reicarnation of Hitler!"

…

Honestly, you should continue to talk about KCD. Some people here will do anything to silence you and attack you for just liking a game. This is the reason people outside Era treats this place as a joke. It's just too comical how some users here behave.

Focus on the game and use the ignore button on those that love to derail the thread. Works wonders.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. Some of the takes here about people who enjoy these games are so extreme that it's actually funny. I love this place, but I can't really argue when I see how it's talked about elsewhere. And not just Gaf.

The massive success of these games show how small the Era bubble is, though. The millions of people who have played K:CD, HL, or Cyberpunk, are not all Nazis or anti-trans, or whatever else. People just want to play fun games. That's all.

Excuse me, having fun at Ree?

[JoeBoy101]

it's my understanding there is a religious conflict undertone in KCD, Jewish diaspora would have to have been mentioned or they really fucked up in their research.
I'm talking about the presence of someone Jewish or a jewish temple but about the population general animosity toward and them being mentioned even when none have been around in decades.
If the point is to be historically accurate that be cannot be missing.

Dipshit levels reaching overload! 

“No, I didn’t do any research on the game, but the game developers should have done more of their own research to make it accurate (based on my historical assumptions) by having… a… token Jewish temple… in the middle… of backwater Bohemia.”

[Besticus Maximus]

they couldn't have had a jewish temple because the Arabs built the dome of the rock 

[kaleidoscopium]

I think you are approaching this too binarily, and the topic needs nuance.

Also, just for clarity, have you played the game?

Think we all know the answer to that one

The Prague jews actually get mentioned in a codex entry. Even talking about them getting their own town within Prague. Game doesn't take place there though.

Poligaf has some of the smartest users on the internet.  

Well the US has no shortage of vulnerabilities.

My first thought was Tik Tok, since Biden got an account for the Super Bowl and they'd want him to look bad. But it sounds more serious. I wonder if it's to do with hacking and things like our electrical grids if it is a "longstanding" threat like was stated.

By a former mod too 

[NekoFever]

Unless the game is on the actual ban list (and it isn't, last I saw, and the policy about Kingdom Come thread was that you were allowed to criticize the dev but you were also allowed to discuss the game without being antagonized), coming in this thread to hassle folks as to why they play this game made by a bigot, why do they ignore posts about Vavra, etc etc. feels quite frankly like a form of bullying and maybe even ban-baiting.

Vavra is a piece of shit and it's fine to repeat this in every thread. Really, it is. Please continue doing it, and I sincerely mean that. That guy doesn't deserve a single cent in my opinion.

But holy shit, painting folks who played the game as uncaring stealth bigots and aggressively demanding why they won't follow the same personal boycott, and making inflammatory comments about them, and then going "lol bye" when they don't want to talk to you (all of which happened in this thread), is really asinine and doesn't make you morally superior, it just makes you a terminally online bully.

Are pigs flying? Morrigan with a good take?

I guess as metal fan she's all too familiar with problematic creators

There are several games that aren’t on the banned games list, or mentioned anywhere in the site rules, that are banned from discussion

[JoeBoy101]

Why would anyone think he played it, thus supporting Vavra’s genocide against minorities? We’ll need to go to a more unbiased, reasoned player of games to get their opinion on the matter.

20 years ago, Kanye West dropped what would end up being a hip-hop classic, his debut album, The College Dropout. Starting out as a producer with Roc-A-Fella, Kanye West always wanted to be a rapper and it finally came to fruition with this album.

User Banned (3 Months): Ableism, immediately prior ban for ableist rhetoric

Diabetic people are already on meds for their whole lives. I will take anti-depressives my whole life. The only issue here is the price in my opinion.

I'm sorry that you're of the belief you have to take anti-depressives forever. Depression is treatable. Perhaps you might want to change your therapist.

Edit: I'm sorry for this post. Upon reflection I was projecting my own situation onto others, which is not okay.

This is a weird perm ban.  They always do *insert something* was released XX years ago.

My brain doesn't produce enough serotonin (and some other thing I forgot lol), my doctor asks for exams regularly

There's a mod out there who's out for blood.

Love the passive aggressive couple days later bans they love to do

[Uncle]

encouraging kids to use a burgeoning technology that's become incredibly mainstream and will only grow in prominence in the coming years, something they probably find exciting and fun to do, specifically during an after school leisure activity...is fucked up shit

Kayne is considered an Uncle Tom/Coon by Era.

[DSC]

two things can be true

1. morrigan is correct on this issue
2. you'll never see her giving a stern talking-to to sony fanboys who shit up threads, weird

bonus 3. she only does this in a thread about a game that focuses on the whites, extra weird

another example of why ppl have zero trust for the past or present mod team. they know that trying to ban-bait ppl for buying a game that has some problematic elements is fruitless, and hurts the forum as a whole. they just don't care when it's for "the right reasons"

so who's alt is this?

[kaleidoscopium]

There are FAR too many games other great games frequently released year after year to go to bat for a person as shitty as Vavra. Y'all treat the act of not playing a game as a task that requires the fortitude of Superman instead of a super super easy thing to do.

Yeah I want him [Logan Sargent] to do well just because he seems like a good guy.

Plus having an American on the grid is fun for a relatively new American viewer like me. This is only my second full season.

Pretty sure the guy is a Trump supporter. There's politics and then there's that.

Don't think it was explicitly confirmed, but given his uncle did some shady ass stuff with associates of Trump, it's not a massive stretch.

That and apparently he liked a few questionable things on social media when he was younger and allegedly (and a proper Simon Whistler allegedly at that) he once posted the maga slogan. There's enough smoke there to at least consider the potential of fire.

I think it's likely that he supports Trump and is keeping quiet about it because he's seen what a death sentence that was for Ferrucci's career in Europe. Well...that and Ferrucci being a complete idiot.

His grandfather is a well known supporter.

It is super easy to do. But why would anyone want to do so? If a game looks interesting to them, they should play it. Again, nobody really cares about the shitty developer behind the game. People just want to play a good game ffs

I fear Punk will get banned because they always hate it when someone is willing to go against the grand narrative

[kaleidoscopium]

He will no doubt be banned, what I wonder is will the people calling kingdom come deliverance fans nazis be banned though. Prognosis is unlikely

[Yulwei v2]

No surprise the Kingdom Come thread was locked.

I'm surprised nobody has snitched to Era's owners about how their forum is being handled

just saying
