This is the problem with American politics. It's only convenient to check in when you want. This is why we are in the state we are in now. Rights dissolved, marginalized groups being further oppressed and cries for change only becoming louder all while our "two options" are shit and mega shit.

But it's REAL easy for people to plug their ears when any form of criticisms shows up.

Politics sucks, but guess what? Life is all politics. Don't check out. Stay involved and always demand more.

User banned (3 months): dismissive of ongoing transphobia and transphobic violence. This is not a “will happen.” It’s happening now.

Trans people NEED Biden to win. I guess this is just the fundamental difference in this discussion. When you need something to happen to survive, you will do what you can to do that.

This is a "will happen" vs what is happening right now. There are people in my community already with loss , already experiencing the eradication of their culture and people with the explicit support of this President.

Sony's first party block busters are meant to be loss leading system sellers.

You can't put a number on how much games like Spider-Man 2 or Last of Us add to the value of the brand and the platform.

And the same can be said for VR and VR games. Or something like Helldivers or Returnal. You never know what unique thing on tour platform is going to attract people to the platform.

Then once your platform is popular, it'll be where most people play Fortnite or Fifa and you get a cut of all the microtransactions.

Cutting staff and closing studios is more short term nonsense.

Did some loan shark just decide to collect on all the debt the games industry owes them and now they're all scrambling to scrape up the cash?

Senate Bill 480 prohibits medical providers from providing life-saving gender-affirmation treatment to individuals under 18 years of age. It also prohibits aiding or abetting another physician or practitioner in the provision of gender-affirming procedures to a minor.

The Republican party is a terrorist organization.

Saying that trans people aren't literally going through a "genocide" right now = 3 month ban

Saying Israel shouldn't exist = Thread ban

Real good modding priorities, B-Dumbs

These people are fucking animals. Actual monsters on a fucking killing spree in the name "protecting kids". What a joke.

[Boredfrom]

Trans rights and protections need to be enshrined into federal law and override these fuckers. If Dems get a trifecta, that is.

      

You really dont want this become a national debate.

[benji]

I don't want a monster. Saying I must vote for a monster is bullshit. WE could demand more, but so many people are accepting of the continued oppression of minorities. Strong arming minorities time and time and time again with no accountability in supporting those who have voted for you is next level bullshit.

How often do democrats beg and cry for minority votes and then never do anything for them after those voters finally drag their feet? I voted for Hillary and I voted for Biden, but it didn't stop "moderates" from shitting on me for "not supporting" them.

We were there when the establishment needed us most, but the establishment didn't do anything when we needed them most.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

So saying "No, Timmy. You can't take these pills and forever have a micro-penis like Jazz Jennings. Hope you enjoy using your peritoneal lining to make a fake vagina!" is killing children?

[benji]

Imagine being so entitled and narcissistic that you do the lowest level of support by voting and think you personally should be catered to over all the other tens of millions that did the same bare minimum.

providing life-saving gender-affirmation treatment to individuals under 18

This is a pretty wild choice of words when they mean that it might prevent suicides, like it's automatically assumed kids will just kill themselves if they have to wait until they're 18. I feel like you don't even hear this language used when talking about antidepressants

Antidepressants have enough people (but not as many as there should be) concerned about evidence over confirming people's religious beliefs.

[benji]

It's all lies.

There's no data on trans suicide rates. There's no data on trans childrens (whatever the fuck that means, but I use other people's terms when I see fit) suicide rates. There's no data on "gender-affirming care" having any mental health benefits. All of this is simply asserted.

Even though it's the complete inverse of all other forms of mental health treatment.

It's literally as if we treated schizophrenics by telling them the voices are correct and everyone should do what their voices say.

That's before we even get to the "transmedicalist" debate within the community where most of them assert it's NOT a mental health issue and it shouldn't be treated as a health issue. (Though it should still be provided by taxpayers as some kind of religious subsidy.)

[Averon]

Oh I see ERA mods are protecting Twohearts.

So let me get this straight. According to ERA mods....

....saying you like sexy women is a ban
....saying trans people aren't literally going through a "genocide" is a 3 month ban
....saying that Israel shouldn't exist is not banworthy
....saying you "have a little girl inside you" and that you have child harming thoughts isn't banworthy but instead deserving of unprecedented mod protection and coverup

 

And these fools honestly think they are the good guys/gals?

[benji]

HRT doesn't even have a theory behind it. Really, I 100% mean this. There's no theory of how it's even supposed to work in the first place. It's entirely unfalsifiable.

Puberty blockers are known to be incredibly harmful to children. Yet those plus HRT are somehow supposed to be "life-saving" even as it ruins their lives permanently.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Unlike how there's date for US voters supporting Israel in the ongoing conflict. Re sure likes to make up their own statistics.

[benji]

And this is why we all need to arm up and do active physical resistance against anyone suspected of Republican tendencies.

But please don't say Biden supports this genocide. Even though he refuses to stop it.

[benji]

Joe Biden has murdered sixteen million Palestinian trans children rather than offering them free showings of The Marvels. And yet the staff members at ResetERA.com thread ban me just because I think the collective nation of Jewish people needs to find out for fucking around.

And they claim this forum isn't far-right even as Gene Park continues to be unbanned. But ZeoVGM is. Again.

i hope every single person laid off leaves for another industry, until there's no one left to hire
the games industry deserves to fucking fail at this point

So, I have a subscription and read this last night. A lot of shitty nations are abusing these people, largely women, in all the ways you could possibly imagine. It's horrifying and even with sanctions against it this continues because it's basically just slave labor.

Why is Twohearths protected? Why is Chief Malik just threadbanned after outright anti semitism?

I feel the way it makes direct connections to mutants and racial minorities kind of heavy handed at times. but it's a really powerful comic and it's what sold me on Magneto as a character (alongside my shifts further left). I think about the opening often, just as I think about how Stryker killed his son because he was a mutant. To be fair I do think about harm to children a lot for intrusive thought reasons

Can't take their bans for mental health diagnosis seriously when they allow people to claim they have "headmates", some even pedophilic apparently, and that don't get a ban.

Or implying that setting yourself on fire is better than therapy because pills are fake happiness.
