yes it does? do not care about enablers. I'd agree that the way he acts and portrays himself on social media makes me believe he oesnt agree with any of whats said in that discord, but him being there still sucks.

Oh, yeah. Those are always my #1 favorite. "We're sorry that you were offended."
2011: Upset about gay people
2019: Upset about trans people
Nice progression.

You gotta love how the people who think everyone else is so thin skinned are always the ones bitching endlessly about the "The SJWs" like it's a shadowy underground org hellbent on destroying video games. Like how do you type something like "the SJW concept" and take yourself seriously lmao. So insecure and so pathetic.
My favorite though is the guy saying "babes" aren't attracted to 'SJWs'. Surely crying with your boys in an internet chat room about how transgender people are bad or something is the true sign of an alpha male. How much you wanna bet this is the kind of guy who blames his dating failures on "chicks are all just out of control SJWs these days man"? And fucking lmao at even saying """babes"""". These people are a riot
What a buncha fuckin losers. Won't be getting my Soros bucks

It stems from false information about parents avoiding heavily gendering their child's outfits/belongings so they can make the choice themselves. Added onto that miss information, the alt-right heavily oppose young children choosing to go on hormones, and believe the parent is 'forcing' them
Wait, you got your Soros check? Mine still hasn't come in yet and I've been doing this gig for ten years.
Twenty5Thousand if you're going to threadmark the 2011 screens you should threadmark the lead dev's response.
How is he an enabler by being on that discord? Just by being there doesn't mean he's okay with the shit being said by the devs, discord servers are so big there's no way to see everything posted in them
Although it's gotten so ingrained the chan culture lexicon it might as well be the non-pejorative version of "bigoted prick" when they use it.

OP
People were warning them about 8Chan on Twitter and they responded with "Nope, were going to do the AMA".
Ugh this is like that thread from a week or two ago about your favorite Youtubers ending up being nazi's. Didn't know anything about the devs other than sweet its a retro build engine game. Bought the game 6+ months ago and played the early access content and now I wish I hadn't of spent money on it. :(
Bummer. I was hyped for this and planned to get it once it hit Switch, but there are too many other amazing 90s-throwback shooters coming out for me to bother with this anymore. I'll take my money elsewhere.
your scenario only works if he somehow never read any of these things. i'm not saying he's devil incarnate, nor that he's on the same level of these devs. all i said is that i'm disappointed.
to clarify: with the Ion Maiden devs, i feel deeply regretful that i bought their game, more so in a manner where i cant even refund it. with Oshry, i'm just disappointed.
The flimsy catch all "it's stripped of the context!" doesn't really work when most of the screencaps include the preceding chat conversation. If that's the best defense available against receiving criticism for something you said, maybe look at what you said instead of blaming how it's being shared or how people are reading into it.
The closest thing I've seen to that is parents being able to have a gender neutral option besides male or female on birth certificates in some areas.
What? Did you not get the memo with their addresses? Don't tell me you haven't sent a single death threat to them yet, please... ffs, at least send them a couple pizzas!
Is that a problem? I mean, that's something I planned to do even before knowing about transgender people and their issues. Today I just have another reason for that. I always disliked the sexist stereotype we force on babies/young children. For example, piercing female babies ears but not the male ones. I mean, what's the problem of waiting for your child to choose to use or not an earring. Is that too difficult?

Anyone still willing to purchase a game from these people should be fucking ashamed of themselves. Absolute trash.
Lol "debate me"
Sorry clown shoes Niko
tfw you're so immature that you think GAF's conversations are "far more pronounced"Their official Discord is a hive of this shit lol. Seems obvious the company they like to keep.
I'd like to know what context justifies equating gender affirmation surgery to mutilation, while simultaneously arguing that trans people aren't being ostracised and persecuted to the point of suicide.
It's so hilarious to me how every time like CLOCKWORK these people jump directly to "Oh so now I'm not allowed to have an OPINION that's different from yours! If we lived in a civil society you would debate me!" and calling people getting angry at their public remarks a "harassment campaign". Truly a group of thick skinned alpha males. How do these people not realize how embarrassing they are
Between "harassment campaigns" and "vile criminal masterminds" I think that guy might have a persecution complex....
That or hes just panicking because hes not used to having his bullshit out in the open and its directly affecting everyone involved.

Oh so they pulled the "we're not native English speakers so we're not bigoted" card. Didn't work out for the Pokemon hackrom guy
Maybe they shouldn't get mad about "SJWs" disagreeing with them, I mean it's just our opinion that their backwards ass opinions are garbage.
Did I do it right?
Man for these bozos who act like ResetEra is too crazy and that Era should mellow out and be "chill like them", they sure have a very strange obsession with everything that ResetEra does.
Full respect to anyone who sees this and decides to put their money elsewhere (I had no plans to purchase anyway and certainly won't now but that's an extremely easy call for me to make) but I really don't like this culture of painting the consumer as the villain and treating them like they're bad people. If you start calling those people trash and telling them they should be ashamed of themselves they're probably more likely to start empathizing with the actual villains in this scenario - the people spouting this shit.
It would be one thing for someone to see this and be like "Hell ye f them SJWs im buying ur game!1", fuck that kind of person. But I'm not going to shit on someone who winds up making a purchase or doesn't look for a refund in spite of this.
I wouldn't trust that as being something that actually happens (and if it is, it's an extreme edge case). Some transphobes make up hypotheticals like that to justify their bullshit.
That last quote by the dev not getting that Women are not objects holy fuuuuuck how can someone as fucking dumb as him get this far without getting his head stuck in a toilet for life
Especially when you consider that maybe there are a bunch of devs working there who made this game to make a living and just so happen to have shitty coworkers.
What's being said in that chat is gross but I don't really understand why we need to paint the whole dev studio has transphobic. Unless I'm missing something.
