BTW 2 messages, you ain't fooling anybody.
Wooo! Hey we got one!
Do you think gay jokes and homophobic slurs aren't indicative of the devs personal politics?
"I'm happy that homophobic rethoric can be used on games as long as they keep their anti-homophobic politics out of my games."
Pretty sure putting open homophobia in their games is actually them putting IN their personal political stances, when removing them would be de-politicizing, but okay, keep justifying toxic and hateful behaviour. Clown ass.
The dev team showed who they were when they decided that the type of 90's references they wanted to mine were funny ha-ha 'gay is the butt of the joke' shit. How tired and uninspired on top of being a piece of shit do you have to be? When I saw the blacklash from the shitty parts of their community I wondered what they would do. Did they want to cater to the shit dwellers or actually be good people? They answered that question.
Homophobia and transphobia are by definition personal politics.
Hate speech is their own personal politics so your post was just one big massive contradiction.
What a shame. And it looked like such a cool game... but the "censorship" wouldn't fix the horrible dev comments on discord. This is minor compared to that.
I mean, being homophobic is not political at all, is just you being an asshole
all fucking day. Fuck this game, and fuck the people behind it.
Fuck this disgusting company and the toxic people running it. I will not only never give them a dime, I will also be encouraging people everywhere not to support anything by them after this.
Well that's it but you can't stand for no censorship if you're only going to offer it one way.
How is derogatory speech about homosexuality not a personal political stand?
This is impressively pathetic. Clearly that original statement was total bullshit and they don't actually care about the homophobic/transphobic behaviour displayed by the developer.
Peoples sexual orientation and gender identity are not politics
Yuppers, their bad-faith defenses have never been about censorship or freedom of speech, but freedom from consequences. That the latter's devolved into the a right-wing dogwhistle is profoundly sad.
What the hell is happening at 3D Realms?
Was their plan to just fake an apology to get the offended people on board again and wait with the 360 until they can't refund it anymore?

2. You ain't shit.
It's obvious Terminx has been a cunt for years. He can blame it on his brain injury and autism, but a cunt is just a cunt.
Just so I'm clear, putting the behavior of the devs on message boards aside for a moment, the 'censorship' at question here is a lotion called 'Ogay'?
I think the worse out of this is that 3D Realm choose which kind of users they wanted to be aligned with: Alt-righters
Those are the users they finally decide to please. That's what makes their last apology and their statement of 'we won' t allow hateful messages in our forums' pointless.
I hope Jim picks this up. This should be called out.

God damn I've been looking forward to this game for so long and they just had to ruin it. I can't believe they apologized and planned to fix it and would just walk back like that. It's a shame they chose to appeal to that audience.
I'm new.. Sorry. But hey.. I guess that doesn't matter.
Also.. Censorship isn't exclusive towards politics. Censorship doesn't belong in video games. Games can have as much politics in them as possible, but because video games are generally fictional products, issues and politics also should be fictional and not reflections of the creators. Simple.
Because hateful homophobia isn't the raison d'etre of the right, which is currently on the rise across the globe right now? Did you even think about how this might affect those that live every single day of their life under threat?
Can somebody tell what website that article that got deleted was from? Is it just medium? Did medium link to something else? If this is against TOS I guess don't answer but I just like to know what sources to avoid.
You don't know what you are talking about.
I will let someone else tell you why as I am tired of responding to people saying this over and over.
They had a really good apology and now they're doing this again. I will never understand how homophobia can be considered as an 'opinion.
I was impressed by 3DR apologizing, and was planning on picking up Ion Fury once it was patched out, so this is incredibly disappointing . Guess I'm skipping this game :/
I'm not sure if you are capable of knowing how dumb this is. Stupid people usually don't realize they're stupid, you know.
Trust us, though. This is one of the dumbest fucking things ever posted on this forum.
Just to make it clear, since you didn't seem to get what quite a few posters already have stated in response to your last post.
Nobody censored them.
Censorship doesn't belong in games.
UNLESS you're "putting politics" in it, in which case, please censor your game.
OK DUDE.
My list of game companies too fucked to ever buy from grows by two more. I've bought 3D realm games in the past, for shame.
This is what it looks like. They played their customers like a fiddle.
Now that the devs and 3D Realms lied about their plans to rectify the situation, I'm guessing they're not donating $10K to the Trevor Project out of the proceeds?
I'm fine with the fictional facial cream. Less so with that hidden easter egg. Hope they at least change that one, despite the posturing.
Impossible. Fictitional worlds or not, games are created by real life persons with real life political ideas an inspirations. Pretending otherwise it's just lying to yourself. Almost every thing we do is political, games, movie, literature... even something as simple as say, Sonic 1 for the Mega Drive has a real world political stance.
It takes a special kind of stupid, to take a great apology and throw it out of the window by doubling down on your initial stupidity.
Fuck. 3D Realms.. this is effin dissapointing.
