The most bizarre part was how they just seemed to never engage with blunt evidence showing otherwise. It would be like "Um, here is a power lifting woman, indeed the one the character is based on" and they'd just be like "no" lol
Hate is a strong word. I just think he's extremely stupid.
Their insecurity rockets into the stratosphere when they see women like this so they just go into full denial.
Maybe even just read the OP, and see what he's done before?
Don't forget during the controversy when he said a transphobic slur during the leaks.
Then Cyberpunk 2077 tweet about gender options, concern trolling.
This guy goes on these anti-"SJW" rants all the time ever since Battlefield 5. Same with The Last Jedi. This dude is just hateful.
How he reacted to school shootings with pro-gun propaganda.
Angry Joe defends AR-15s against those who want to "take guns from everyone"
Given that he is a large gaming personality whose content often gets his own threads, I think it's important to have a thread for this, as we do for other gaming personalities when they do or say something harmful even if not directly related to gaming. This is disingenuous propaganda that is...www.resetera.com
And then the sexual harassment, now.

I can only speak for myself... I don't hate him at all. I just don't like what he has to say most of the time, and I don't believe that this forum should be giving him a platform. The nail in the coffin for Joe Vargas for me was how he handled his indecency allegations. I wasn't there or know if he even did anything wrong. But I didn't like what he had to say.
Era may be only a small part of the industry and conversation around it but as a platform that wants to be inclusive and welcoming for everyone it only makes sense to refuse to promote people who promote harmful views.
With the amount of hate and death threats Neil is getting, that's a really shitty thing to add on Joe's part. Especially with how toxic his fanbase can be.

Maybe I'm making a straw man or playing advocate here, but as someone who enjoys receiving, this means Joe is either:
Same. Not just him but everyone. It's probably gonna be tough to compete with Cyberpunk though. Fingers crossed.
Era is essentially where most online gaming influencer and press go to for news, unless of course its a story from a specific publication or person but ultimately everyone from kinda funny to easy allies all come here for news and general sentiment of people so it does have a lot of sway in that way.
He spoiled the game for himself (on partially bad information) and spent three months shitting on it before playing it. You should stay away until you finish it.
I can only speak myself but if it about stuff like misogyny, transphobia and so on, one Important aspect is sharing it hurts people. in one part it influences the opinion of the People here, sends a signal to the people here something like that is ok here which means it would alright for people to right stuff like that here. Another Part ist the People he hurts with it will see it as well.
For example here is a thread at the moment that the community here should do better:
Speaking of trans issues let's talk about racism and the general disregard of brands when we call them out for it.
Hiya gaming era it is I the spookiest motherfucker you ever met who also made a thread just two days ago about trans issues in eras community. (I'm not exactly great at making threads ) this thread Hey it's minority mental health awareness month Hey era I figured it would be apt if I placed a...
And banning content like his videos can definitly help with it I think.
The implication is that Druckmann mocapped
We do need to have that discussion of crunch in the industry because it's immoral and destructive on the productivity of workers just to get a product out to sell, but I think there are people who are legit using "crunch" as another excuse to shit on this game. They bring up what workers went through during the production of TLOU2 but I really doubt they care. They are the same people who cannot wait for Cyberpunk 2077 but are unusually quiet when someone brings up CDPR's own crunch.
I agree crunch is an issue, but yeah, you can tell who really cares and who doesn't. There are ND employees who received death threats and hate when Jason talked about ND's crunch, and it got worse when the leaks came out. Like, is that how people show they care? Giving death threats to the victims of crunch?
When you devote hours in your day daily to shitting on a game because it has a "political message/ agenda" you don't like, it's interesting the type of shit people will come up with to shit on a game and personally attack devs for.
I'm pretty sure Jim Sterling and from what I have seen of Dunkey dont practice misogyny and homophobia. I'm not mad that they are angry about the game, it's why is what is the problem for Joe. I like Jim Sterling's review of this game even though I completely disagree with it
