I don't understand why you would repeat a joke you don't understand or find funny, no.
Ah, well that's something I was unaware of. What specifically was the comment?
Yes, that's a completely fair point.
It was this tweet:
Jesus the ignorance on display in that thread is disgusting.
Oh but there is a magnet! Can't let those ne'er-do-well liberals dare insult the company that makes the games I like, which are a much greater priority than their lives. :)
Agreed. Going to repost something i wrote eariler in this thread, because I think it speaks to your point:
Ahhhhhhhhhh I do remember this...yeah..It was this tweet:
August 28 2014 is the day gamergate started, funnily enough this tweet Imo could have been more credibly excused with "they didn't know the unfortunate implications behind the joke" that the cyberpunk tweet.
Good image and message, but it's really as simple as "Transphobia isn't a valid opinion." There's no middle-ground between "inclusivity for all genders" and "trans people are gross and don't deserve respect or rights". The equivocating "b-bu-bu-but I have opinions and you don't respect them!" is total bullshit because those opinions are destructive and ignorant.
Because those in the LGBT community do not need to be told that their reactions are stupid or not somehow meeting someone's definition of proportional.
Except we have gone over this again and again in this thread.
Actually it solve the issue of sock puppet account used only to troll people when the right situation arise.
I mean I personally would give them a warning first, there seem to be quite a lot of insta bans these days. But ultimately it's not like the bans are super long and we are a forum that doesn't tolerate transphobic discussions so...
"Two sides"
It's good to have a thread like this every once in a while to expose the bigots.
Convince them of what? To not treat transgender people with contempt?
So our trans posters should have to deal with transphobia then?
What like the drive by posts?
I know! Good lord this thread is wild to read. Every page you'll see at least one:
This post comparing the threat to a bug zapper is right. Some people can't help themselves. They can't talk about things in a way that isn't hostile towards the trans and nonbinary community. And they pour in en masse and get zapped.I see it as a bug zapper

It's not the purpose of the thread though obviously, the discussion on why this shit shouldn't be tolerated, and showing solidarity are the main reasons
This is like the only forum on the internet which I, as lgbt, feel not discriminated so I say thank you to mods and users supporting. Some people will never learn.
If you're wondering why people are so "aggressive" on the thread, aside from the almost hundred bans that are excusing transphobic messaging, and aside the fact that CDPR gave no fucks to give an actual apology, this might explain a bit more why people are angry:
People are not willing to give the benefit of the doubt because of obvious reasons that are not just confined in one country, not in this time, and not because of "culture differences", specially when you are representing a company to an international audience.
They simply want to take the free speech route so that they can link their post in whatever crap hole they post and show how the "left" is the real fascism or something equally or more insane.
Yeah because what's more important is the right for people to use bigoted language so long as they totally don't know it's bad to do so.
Even if you weren't being naive, what you want would make this place less welcoming for minorities as they would have to post alongside people who despise them.
