Unless you believe the entire world's a simulation and you're also an NPC. That's also cool.
I mean, moderates probably don't give a damn, and there's an entire clan of muslim vampires. It's probably too late for the conservative muslims regardless.

“No indication yet whether they will shove SJW politics down our throat in Vampire The Masquerade 2” says Oyungezer, Turkish game magazine
- Thread starter haku
- Start date
Alt-right meme that portrays decent people (e.g. "SJWs") as non-player caharacters having a preprogrammed personality
You are implying there are non-conservative muslims that embrace homosexuality?
err NPC?
is there another meaning besides the general gaming "non playable character", as in every character that isnt you that inhabits videogames?
I've literally never heard this before, until this thread
I don't believe in any movement "co-opting" something. I'm still going to say NPC for video games like I have before lol
just like that green frog image to me is still for feelsbadman, not any racist thing
User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory generalizations; numerous accumulated infractions
The only muslim people I know that embrace homosexuality are those that give up their religion, so I don't think I should call them muslim anymore.
Nobody is saying that you can't talk about NPCs in videogames.
Someone asked what it meant outside of video games and I answered.
Whic is kinda ironic considering they just repost premade memes themselves.
Of course there are. They might be a small minority not aligned with any majority orthodox tradition, but being one of the biggest religions in the world it seems almost logically necessary that there would be at least a few.
The content in this article is clearly driven by ignorance and an unflattering bias.
The medium is capable of more than bright colors, explosions, guns and swords. Let idiots grapple with their insecurities and xenophobia.
If we are lucky, one day articles like this will become less frequent as human beings realize they have agency and can pick and choose what they consume.

It very much depends on the country, but increasing numbers of muslims in Western countries are relaxed about homosexuality. But it depends on what you mean by embrace, numbers of practicing homosexuals are difficult to count for obvious reasons, but I'm willing to bet it's lower than the numbers that are okay with it in the abstract (beyond what the relative expectations would be in the general population).
He is stupid as shit but I also hope they keep all the weird and dark shit that the first game had. It had some real distrubing things in it if you fell down that rabbit hole and I kinda loved that because you could be a not terrible vampire in that game but also end up wrapped up in alot of unsavory things that made you think.
I just don't want them to take out that ambiguousness of the Vampires in that game. They were never good, just varying shades of not bad or sometimes terrible.

oh yeah I know, my reply wasn't really a direct response to you, just a general statement
It's good you answered cause I had no idea
To be dead serious, the only time I learn about alt-right memes is actually here on ERA. I've never heard of any of this stuff before... for example the ones I've learned on ERA is the green frog image, that flag that was in Destiny, and now NPC
how do yall know all these alt-right memes in the first place haha, I guess I'm just never anywhere around them. I don't do any social media whatsoever, so I never read Twitter or Facebook and I never watch any news. Also I don't randomly browse Youtube or Reddit
I'm to the point where I am just accepting that these are the trevails of questioning and then overturning old world values that were always intended to be inequitable and always intended to be normalized. They can kick and scream all they want...nothing stops this train...nothing.
V5 pushes the monsterous nature of Vampires even more than early editions, as I understand it. For examples, there are options in the core rulebook to take a fake family and play family vampire so you have a constant supply of blood available at all times. While all along the stupid humans believe you're related to you.
Basically, dominate is a fucked up ability and the writers are fully aware of that.
Imagine your politics being so bad that you feel threatened by something being inclusionary and nice to people. Because I can't.
Being inclusive by having more options somehow is killing games according to dipshits without a brain.
You have a point there, I'm not sure it's worth signal boosting this stuff, but I admit I have a mild comic fascination with how a sequel to VtM:B has become a lightning rod for all these losers.
So I have nothing to worry about then. I hate how cleaned up vampires got for awhile that I'm just glad they are sticking to their monstrous nature.
Fucking snowflakes.
*Everyone that is exactly like me ofc.

The whole complaining about SJW's-thing becomes tiring.. how about being a decent human being and respect the catering of media to the diversity of the audience it serves?
Also, what's it about that whole "imagine that..."=thing? is that like a new meme or something?

People who use SJW unironically: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, empathy bad
It's fucking ironic because "SJW" philosophies usually means more options rather than less. These people need to go back to a cave and just not come out.
Kinda funny in a pathetic way that "NPC" as an insult was conjured up by a group of people in constant rage that comes from their impotency to stop progress among the industry.
They're calling "NPC" the people they feel powerless to stop.
It's not enough for white straight men to be the lead and focus of things for them, non-white straight men need to also not exist at all.
The alt-right outcry over VTMB 2 is particularly funny because the original Bloodlines straight up mocks republicans and conservatives all the fucking time, Bloodlines is directly leftist in its messaging.
Even in the games endings, the only good one is where you side with the Anarchs to kill the rich, every single other one you either get screwed and killed, or is just plain bad where you don't even get to see what was inside the sarcophagus, the whole mystery of the game.
As an Armenian descendant, I would fucking love to see that.
update
There's an update, sounds like they're apologizing for this author. haku I'd appreciate it if you could add this to the OP

It's all just doublespeak for censoring anyone who's not white straight male.
Oh wait nope. I'm not seeing any "SJW" mention but there's some whining about political correctness.
By the way, Oyungezer is not a pro-Erdoğan magazine. I remember that they published an overtly anti-Erdoğan article in 2013 (might've admittedly changed since then but I doubt it). So this is really saddening to see. I hope it was an egregious mistake and doesn't represent the culture at this company. I've not read Oyungezer in a while though.
This actually isn't true.
The Strauss Camarilla ending goes fine for the PC.
I am so beyond done with shitheads proclaiming that inclusivity is a bad thing (and worse, actually getting angry when companies try to appeal to/be considerate towards anyone who isn't a straight white male).
It seems to be increasingly gaining traction in all spheres of life, not just gaming, and that's incredibly worrying to me.

Well it is because I said that you either get screwed or doesn't get to see what's in the sarcophagus, which is plain bad, boring.
if the devs want to put PC shit into their games, that's their right to do so. you can always not buy the game. but of course the people offended by this developer decision will not simply do that, they will attempt to destroy the game, thereby confirming their own agendas against the perceived agenda that the developer has.
The anti SJW people have become the snowflakes they criticized and the hypocrisy refuses to dawn on them

Yes, they sneakily edited the article and replaced all "SJW" words with "political correctness". LOL And also the article seems much shorter now. Apperantly they removed some of the bullshit from the author. I have screenshots if anyone wants to see the original article.
Btw, thanks for the translation. I'm adding the update to the first post.
They should have not edited the article for having their update some meaning and context. Else it feels like one of those fake apologies.
It's totally my fault. I spoke to the writer of that article in DMs and he was freaking out about an English speaker having read his article. He was legit spooked. He then proceeded to tell me that his city is "LGBT" and that he "Has a trans neighbor" and then from there he was like "Welp gotta go bye".
For someone who wishes that he didn't have to be scared of hurting others, he sounds terrified by what other people think.
Oh, he was. Pretty sure my DM instantly made him regret writing it. He probably thought only like-minded people would read it.
User Banned (Permanent): Islamophobic rhetoric and previous severe infractions
They literally have a president in Erdogan that denies Evolution and says their god made everything.
They want or already did get rid of teaching about that in schools because its wrong and against the Religion.
And he had many voters that live in western countries outside of Turkey where you should think they completely changed their mentality thanks to living in a complete different world.
This is why we need people to finally speak up against the Religion and tell those people its 2019.
Their Stoneage stuff has no place anymore in this world and they need to introduce something like a Islam 2.0
But people are afraid for some reason to fight it and especially for those people that can't fight it without the fear of risking their lives.
The same is true when you go solo, without siding with anyone
