nah this is pretty wacky

offside autism

Can you blame me for not being interested? I didn't knew what that site was before r/drama and tbh. I still kinda don't really what it is (gaming autism?)

to be fair you have to go like 5 pages in until its not 😴

Hot off the trails of a game with a bisexual teenage girl as a protagonist alongside a bi/lesbian deutragonist and multiple characters suffering from properly depicted depression/anxiety/mental illness...

We attack Dontnod for using a male protagonist.

You clowns are fucking ridiculous.

Not surprising at all sadly

(For bolded comment) "User Banned (1 Week): Downplaying concerns about representation and diversity"

If someone did a first page post saying "Female protagonist, not interested" it would be considered low effort as fuck, and offensive even. Worse, just noticed it comes from a Moderator.

Honestly, it hurts me considering the developer is DONTNOD. Who did Remember Me and Life is Strange.

User Banned (3 Days): Making false equivalencies surrounding diversity and representation

Not exactly offensive, just extremly low-effort. I wouldn't write "bah, female protagonist, not interested" just because I prefer playing as a male because it's just an all around unnecessary comment (I think).

User Banned (1 Week): For this post, and others. False equivalency. Account still in junior phase.

So it's ok for mods to be sexist? Huh... Ok.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory accusations of sexism

If a male user said the same thing: "Bah, female protagonist, not interested" he will be 100% labeled as sexist and get a warn. Don't use the snoflake argument to justify that low effort comment.

User Banned (3 Days): Making false equivalencies surrounding diversity and representation

Dismissing the game with a drive by comment like "Bah, male protagonist, not interest" is extremely sexist.

What are you even going on here about ?

If you're really a fan of the developers previous work, you should give them a chance instead of making a terribly dismissive post just because the protagonist is a man.

User Banned (1 Week): Thread derailment. False equivalency.

There has been an abundance of female leads the past few years with many more to come in announced titles , I'm not sure how that can be used as an excuse anymore. Having a mod openly dismiss a game based on the sex of a protag sets a bad example, especially with the whole Battlefield commotion.

kinda like the moderators in /r/de LMFAO

Yeah, we are the worst!

Sick, disgusting --nipples protruding-- very very disrespectful.

Show on the doll where the mods touched you famalam.

Downplaying concerns about representation and diversity

Why did we ever let them leave NeoGAF

Because it made NeoGAF better.

How do these people fucking exist lmao.

It's like "You said something that wasn't offensive and was a genuine question, but I don't like it. 3 day ban".

How does anyone put up with that safespace bullshit?

Same type of people who unironically decided to join jonestown.

Actually I've been listening to a book on Jonestown and from the way he's written sound sacarily like the SJW mindset.

Most gamers are cucks

Welcome to ERA lul

lol is Resetera some kind of psyop?

even reddit isn’t that bad

Era is a great gaming forum and I'd consider myself a frequent visitor, but the SJW moderation is a total meme.

the one dishing out the bans is the mod that made the "ugh male protagonist" comment in the first place too lol

its so passive aggressive but thats what you get when you let cat ladies mod your forum

That's some fragile ass white feminism there.

Forum drama? 😴😴😴

White male protagonists are bad because you can only masturbate to them if you're gay.

White female protagonists are the way to go.

just lettin u guys know I dont care about this post 😴😴😴

If you think "bah, male protagonist, not interested" is offensive you are the most fragile snowflake on the planet.

Zhe said on ResetEra, a forum made because NeoGaf wasn't enough of a safe space.
