Incel culture is more about entitlement, misogyny, toxic masculinity, controlling women and hate than sex or romance. Those are typically the people that play up the censorship angle when women are clothed in a game. They engage in similar behavior to what we see here.
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.
I can assure you that I am very much part of the cabal.sorry thetrin but you have to go through a random background check before you play this retro shooter
need to make sure you're not part of the islamic feminist sjw cabal
It'd be better if they just didn't do these weird things in the first place but yeThe 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.

So the reason why I'm generally OK with calling all misogynist and alt-righters incels is because... it's probably true.

i guess we might as well buy an old platform in the middle of the ocean and start developing a nuke

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.The tricky part is that video games companies have to be quite open, their employees reaching out to and engaging with the fans is wanted and needed but it demands a level of PR perfection and/or morales/attitudes in every employee that would make traditional companies shit their pants if they would have that same level of public scrutiny on them and any failure on any employee's part can mean total desaster for a years long product launch or even destroy the whole reputation in one swift incident.
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.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.
im already a dangan
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.It was not someone from Voidpoint, the developers, but someone from 3D Realms, the publisher.

Yep, we will have to see how they behave in the future.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.
ah okay. In that case, yes it's good. Dad stepped in and put the foot down.It was not someone from Voidpoint, the developers, but someone from 3D Realms, the publisher.

I do wonder if the dev team are thinking that they were in the right now and have an "I told you so!" feeling.
It would have, but the backlash to the apology is endlessly entertaining.What going on in this thread?
Didn't should die when the developer apologize?
It's more about the backlash to the apology now. Or reveling in the tears of manbabies / disappoint in the gaming community at large.What going on in this thread?

A lot of them buy the game, get a small amount of play time so they can write their shit and then refund.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.

Willing to bet most of them are teenagers anyway lol, you're not going to get through to themI made the mistake of trying to engage with some of these people on the Steam forum. Not only are they terrible misinformed of the situation, their only way to communicate seems to be clenched teeth anger.
Oh you'd be surprised.Willing to bet most of them are teenagers anyway lol, you're not going to get through to them
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 bestOh you'd be surprised.
The "These idiots are children" trope alas is normally completely inaccurate. Wisdom seldom follows age.
People are really tilted about the charity and sensitivity training. Seems to be the thing they keep parroting.
Particularly ironic. Hoping Voidpoint don't suffer consequences as you review bomb their game into oblivion and inflate and distort the issue way past the point of initial resolve
Far right idiots were always the biggest projectorsThe right wing: "Fucking SJWs are harassing developers all the time and impeding free speech. They can't boycott stuff we like because we will support them"
Also the right: "How dare developers do anything we don't like, we're going to harass you into oblivion, boycott!"
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.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?
B-b-but the secret pedophile ringSJW's from ResetERA are supposedly the ones harassing devs, but hundreds of brigaded reviews and the devs having to lock down their Discord only happens after the alt-right get outraged 🤔🤔🤔
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.Ion Fury is made by Voidpoint (a team made up Build engine modders) and published by 3D Realms.
