Fuck yeah, always wondered what it would be like to be a terrorist. I hope at least I'm a cool terrorist, like Avalanche in FF7.
So the reason why I'm generally OK with calling all misogynist and alt-righters incels is because... it's probably true.
Just to add on to this here, there is actually an extraordinarily large overlap in userbase between the incel community and other communities like red pill, PUA (pick-up artist), and MGTOW (men going their own way). They may seem incompatible, and they are, but the common theme is misogyny. It makes a lot more sense when you realize that most of the users in the TRP, PUA, and MGTOW are actually incels, but use those community sites as outlets to share their fantasies of being an "alpha male." These users will post on r/braincels about how supremely unfuckable they are because women are all bitches and whores... and then head on over to r/redpill to make a post about how they totally had sex with like 10 teenage girls this weekend, and also they're sexually grooming their own teenage daughter so she doesn't turn into such a slut. These losers just hate women and love to share their weird sex and humiliation fantasies with other losers. Bonus points if they self-identify as libertarian, because that most likely means that they want to make rape legal and abolish the age of consent.

The absolute normal one these alt-right shitbirds have had these past two days just goes to show that the reaction this forum and some twitter circles had over the initial screenshots and tweets can barely be considered toxic.
I hope after all this, other developers or publishers that fuck up like Voidpoint did don't get discouraged from owning up from their mistakes just because some whiny manchildren flood their forums with toxicity and reviewbomb their steam page.

It'd be better if they just didn't do these weird things in the first place but ye
I don't see why the devs need to be THIS active with the community, it's kinda weird. Some of them are on for several hours a day
I've given this a long thought and I don't like that I, as a CIS man, am just as privileged as before but other people are a tiny bit better off now. Please stop, otherwise we will have to find a way to give me even more privileged to keep a level playing field.
And by level playing field I mean a vertical line

Antifa Supersoldiers rise up.Cause apparently we are terrorists now.

Someone in that thread was arguing that no one should be allowed to edit his game that he paid money for, so no more patches that fix busted things then too xD
Out of curiosity, who made the Game Informer statement? The CEO? CFO? I didn't see anyone credited. If it was the same people in Discord, they can stick that apology in their asses.
Is it really tricky, though? PR perfection? Really? All that decent PR requires is for you to not be a piece of shit. That's literally all.
Why is it so difficult for people to live and exist while NOT being racist, a bigot, an antisemite, or homophobic (or otherwise a piece of hateful, spiteful trash)? To say nothing of actually forming up your lips or affixing your fingers to espouse such viewpoints in public, on social media on the record for anyone to see.
Why can't people just be fucking normal?
need to update that avatar with an eye patch, breh
It was not someone from Voidpoint, the developers, but someone from 3D Realms, the publisher. They gave money to charity and forced the Voidpoint devs to do sensitivity training. A very good apology from the publisher if you would ask me.
It's a good apology, but remember that's the only thing they've done so far. The rest of your summary should be in the future tense.
Yep, we will have to see how they behave in the future.
ah okay. In that case, yes it's good. Dad stepped in and put the foot down.
I was worried it was one of those devs, which would have made it very hollow indeed.
o7
WE ARE WITH YOU, SIR
FOR THE REVOLUTION
I do wonder if the dev team are thinking that they were in the right now and have an "I told you so!" feeling.
"Alexa play Dragon's Dogma title music" o7
Probably, but if they speak out about it, we'll hopefully see the zero tolerance policy in effect.
It would have, but the backlash to the apology is endlessly entertaining.
The thing is, Steam reviews actually require having bought and played the game, so the review bombing on there either means a lot of people bought the game just to give it a negative review, or are really people who bought the game and then got pissed off because it was patched.
It's more about the backlash to the apology now. Or reveling in the tears of manbabies / disappoint in the gaming community at large.
A lot of them buy the game, get a small amount of play time so they can write their shit and then refund.
This is now our Mother Base for terrorist recruitment and training. Welcome aboard.
Yeah, a ton of the negative reviews have 0.1 or 0.2 hours played. It's pathetic that they would even bother going to these lengths.

I'm dying.
I made the mistake of trying to engage with some of these people on the Steam forum. Not only are they terribly misinformed of the situation, their only way to communicate seems to be clenched teeth anger.

I'm just waiting for these posts to be used elsewhere unironically.
Again, for people who call out "snowflakes", these guys are easily triggered.
Willing to bet most of them are teenagers anyway lol, you're not going to get through to them
Oh you'd be surprised.
The "These idiots are children" trope alas is normally completely inaccurate. Wisdom seldom follows age.
Oh no the general sentiments expressed are definitely universal, but at least anecdotally I find most of the loud ones are like barely 20 at best
LOL that Brie Larson avatar. Like if you hate someone why would you have them as an avatar?

Ion Storm is from the same devs that made Duke Nukeem? I've never played the Duke Nukeem series apart from the N64 spin-off that was much more sanitised compared to the PC games. But didn't the original games have nudity and very dude bro not-politically correct humour?
bless you big dog
On topic, seems like they don't realize most every group of any size has bad people in it. Newsflash, this website allows anyone with a non-free email to sign up. Thing is, we don't have boards dedicated to pedophilia like 8chan does. ResetERA possibly having pedophiles on the userlist is many degrees less harmful than a board dedicated to passing around tips on how to groom and molest children.
Ion Fury is made by Voidpoint (a team made up Build engine modders) and published by 3D Realms. The game doesn't really have any crass humour, but it does share the awesome interactivity/level design of DN3D and the gunplay is just as much fun.
This is such a blatant attempt at trying to get all of us nude, you should be ashamed of yourself
Oh I see. Regardless this game seems a direct result of the very divided times we currently live in. The bigots have become emboldened and are thriving.
