Yeah, I had the exact same thought when I saw this thread.It's always somewhat ironic when people with clearly foreign origin (that name isn't Finnish in origin) are massive xenophobic piece of shits. But hey, you made it so you're one of the good ones. And of course since you're white you're all good anyway.
mods of the official discord have decided to block any discussion about it and ban or mute anyone mentioning it.I was actually a fan of Hero Siege, but then the dev outed himself as a fucking psychopath.
Wow lol :D I guess now we know the company's opinion on the matter then.mods of the official discord have decided to block any discussion about it and ban or mute anyone mentioning it.
What makes sense if it's true. This behavior resonates very well with the gamer community, especially the most dedicated and hardcore. Sometimes we are surprised by behaviors that seem to be the exception, but are the rule in certain groups. Since the gamer gate the pandora box has opened.mods of the official discord have decided to block any discussion about it and ban or mute anyone mentioning it.
yes..impossible to have a discussion about the issueWow lol :D I guess now we know the company's opinion on the matter then.
Oh shit he's Finnish. I feel so embarrassed. He belongs in some asylum or maybe in jail for inciting & wanting to do violence towards minorities.
You shouldn't have to ask honestly.This is really explicit. Asking for them to banned on ResetEra.
Finnish and a lawyer
It was a request to start it, but due it to happen inside parliament during parliament's working hours, it needs the approval of the parliament, which won't happen because Finns party is going to block it during the vote. Other notable parliament member cases are f.ex. Päivi Räsänen (lol).Basically it says that he wants "All n-word and other animals out of the Finland, quickly and instantly saatana".
Last bit works in Finnish, not as much in English and saatana is just saatana (swear word). Basically "ASAP".
This could be investigated for 10 if not 10(a). Finns Party member in parliament is under investigation for...10 I think as he referred to immigrants as "foreign species that should be driven out".
That's a good question. Let's see what we can find out:We call this a "terroristic threat" in the US. Not sure how lenient Finland is, but that sure looks like specific criminal intent to me.
Huh, so could this possibly be a take so bad that you go from being a CEO of a gaming studio to being in prison?There has been considerable debate over the definition of "hate speech" (vihapuhe) in the Finnish language.[28][29] If "hate speech" is taken to mean ethnic agitation, it is prohibited in Finland and defined in the section 11 of the penal code, War crimes and crimes against humanity, as published information or as an opinion or other statement that threatens or insults a group because of race, nationality, ethnicity, religion or conviction, sexual orientation, disability, or a comparable basis. Ethnic agitation is punishable with a fine or up to 2 years in prison, or 4 months to 4 years if aggravated (such as incitement to genocide).[30]
Critics claim that, in political contexts, labeling certain opinions and statements "hate speech" can be used to silence unfavorable or critical opinions and suppress debate. Certain politicians, including Member of Parliament and the leader of the Finns Party Jussi Halla-aho, consider the term "hate speech" problematic because of the disagreement over its definition.[29]
And I feel that this behavior resonates positively with most gamers. How fast these threads are subjects die shows how conniving silence is the norm. Unfortunately our hobby is mostly made up of racists. Be explicit like that boy or implicit like everyone who does not express indignation and repudiation.Sometimes social media can be a blessing when these kind of people just out themselves. Hopefully this will come back and hurt him like hell. However since we're talking gamer culture I wouldn't be surprised is this actually boosted their sales because of "muh free speech".
He's the the result of our society. That this kind of vicious hatred could be born here is horrifying (I know there are plenty of racist but this guy sounds deranged on a whole other level)
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to know.Finnish and a lawyer

For people wondering, during past few years (2015-2018) there has been only 4 cases where people got actual jailtime for this, and average jailtime was 1 month. If this would really go to court, he would get out with just fines. Around 300-700€ would be my estimate based on the averages, but it's completely dependant on his income.
From what I understand, Finland has stricter hate speech laws than US. Even "subtle" "we should do something to all these pesky black people" type speech can be punishable, if it implies people should take action into their own hands. Trump would probably have committed tons of hate speech crimes (there are politicians who have been condemned, though not any jail time IIRC)We call this a "terroristic threat" in the US. Not sure how lenient Finland is, but that sure looks like specific criminal intent to me.
Ah, if only every rich CEO was this brutally honest about how they feel towards minorities...
Can't wait to see his publisher's response.
I don't think that is entirely true. I might not be familiar with the Finnish law, but Wikipedia gives me this
I think section 10(a) can be applied here.
I agree.The guys who grew up in the environment that was cultivated around video games are now making their own video games.
"Gamer culture" created these pieces if shit.
I was wondering why I already had Hero Siege on IGNORE on my Steam account. It was probably because of that thread.Also, friends, we've known that this guy is a trash person for literally years:
Panic Art Studios founder apologises for saying "Women don't have the nerves to be a CEO"
