it's the same sort of thing as saying "you sheeple", but non-ironicallyYou are kidding me right? People started saying 'ah, you fucking NPC!' as a derogatory term? LOL. I guess that's kinda funny. :D
wut? who's a 'total cunt'?

Friendly remainder that a ton of countries, way more civil and peaceful than America, do have actual hate speech laws and it hasn't lead to any horrible tragedy or anything.But we have to tolerate a certain amount of intolerance. Trump and Brexit have shown that significant portions of our populations must hold fairly intolerant views. We're not going to get rid of that.
The question is where do you set the bar for what is tolerable? In that tweet Jaffe seems to think it should be set to exclude anything that promotes violence, which seems reasonable. Trying to set the bar higher than that puts you in very murky waters.

He starts by saying he wouldn't date a transgender woman simply for the fact she was once a man biologically (no other reason). Then goes to say "If I don't want to date a black woman, I'm a racist? If I don't want to date an Irish woman I'm anti-Irish?" Completely missing the point that yes, if you don't want to date a black woman because she is black, you are racist. And if you don't want to date a transgender woman because she is transgender you are transphobic.
Is there anything to suggest that having or promoting a white ethnostate will NOT lead to violence or persecution or i dont know, simply mistreating your fellow man as less than a human being?

but if promoting a white ethnostate succeeds...?I mean, does it lead to violence every time someone suggests the idea of a white ethnostate? I'm sure people express those views all the time and nothing comes of it.
If the ideas being promoted don't catch on, because we have a sufficiently educated population with the critical thinking skills necessary to dismiss them, then no they won't lead to violence.

Just because there is an underlying segment of western society that are racist or hold views that are based in lies and racism, doesnt mean we need to tolerate right wing hate preachers.But we have to tolerate a certain amount of intolerance.

I fully expect his next tweet to be something like "Why isn't there white entertainment television? Or white history month??"
That's the level he's arguing at now. I'm not sure why he's choosing to die on this fucking hill of all things. Shock value to get more viewers?

Let it fester and you get something like the Unite the Right riot that happened back a year ago.

David Jaffe - director of the original God of War, designer of Twisted Metal and other games.Coming at this with no idea who the guy is and what history the forum has with him - one glance at his Twitter header and a full minute of his video and I can't work out why there's a 30+ page thread about just another ragey Youtube guy with copy paste opinions and rhetoric.
and clearly wants to make a name for himself doing this instead. So if the Milo stuff is deplatforming, what are we doing here again?David Jaffe - director of the original God of War, designer of Twisted Metal and other games.
bwuh? that happens literally everywhere. people, including devs, don't hate ERA because its users are sooo mean to the poor game developers. people hate ERA because its users are slightly less bigoted than everyone else in the gamig community.I always assumed so. I'm not a game developer but I am a developer. The feeling when people shit all over your code, sometimes unjustly, stings. We on this forum are very quick to bitch about minor things or dismiss an entire game. Pretty sure a lot of developers hate this forum because its toxic to their well being.
So when is he announcing his new weekly podcast with Gavin McInnes?
This discussion has gotten a little unreasonable for my tastes, so I'm going to bow out.
The fuck is Alanah Pearce (Rooster Teeth) on about in that top reply?
I feel as of this point this topic should be moved to the other side of this forum. This really has nothing to do with video games other than the guy making these comments once made video games.

Fuck. The entire script is 10 a penny on Youtube.

I am absolutely SHOCKED you ignored other posters and cut paragraphs of counterpoints to cherry pick a couple lines to call unreasonable and then disappear like a fart in the wind. Almost like you weren't looking for a discussion at all.
Shocked I tell you.

Jaffe has said so many stupid things which I don't agree with like this, someone with hateful ideas should never get a platform because they might convert people who are lost or just don't have any opinion one way or another. This however, sexual affection is not something a person can control. If someone is turned off because the nose is too big/small or if his penis or too small or her breasts are too big then I do understand them. Same goes with anything, love is one of the only instinct we can't turn off.
If someone respect a person for whoever they are, then that's good enough, no need to turn it into an affection thing.
However I won't go out and say what I don't find attractive out loud, because my mind can change if everything else is so good then that small little thing might become a non issue.
