So what are we then? A ravenous pack? In need of an extermination squad after us? The scum of society? Community suggests that we are human beings that support each other. But wait, we're not a community because your bigotry says so. I guess we now need to hold an international meeting, and between all the butt fucking and pussy eating, figure out what we are. That's the action we need to take, right? You could lead it since you're the one who gets the final and supreme vote. But you'll have to wait a bit for the guys to take of their bras and panties so they can bang each other, and the women take off their lumberjack clothes to eat each other out. Because that's what we all are. Sex crazed perverts. I get heated on this kind of bigotry. We're already an oppressed community due to rampant bigotry and overzealous conservatism. We have fought for decades to be treated as human beings, with little success. In the last 4 years, here in the states, we actually lost a lot of our rights. Including the right to be people. We were classified as an "unperson". Which in turn, made it legal to kill us with little to no consequences. And it's because of people like you. We're trying to drive ice cars through Hell, and you're laughing at us for our attempts. Because of people like you, I feel like Sisyphus. 🖕3 points

You may say that one side is insensitive and the other is politically correct, but ironically, the more insensitive people get, then the more sensitive other people get. And those insensitive people want to allow all poison to circulate the air and let it vent on its own. While those sensitive people want to prevent the poison from spreading in the first place. A publisher dropping a developer doesn’t mean they can’t find someone else, so no freedom has been violated. Whatever the hell political correctness even means these days, I’m starting to think the meaning has changed. So way to go for the publisher for being ‘politically correct’ if the meaning now means that you have a moral standard, neutrality, empathy. And those insensitive un-empathetic types that simply want society to suffer and become outraged instead of preventing it in the first place are what I will now call ‘politically incorrect.' As far as the SWAT game goes, it seems they want to exploit a sensitive issue for promotion. Yes, it is a real life issue, but they also have a choice to leave off the mission if it means losing a publisher over it if that was the reason. They may have the right to expression, and others have the right of choice not to publish it, whether that be political correctness, ‘neo political correctness’ or protecting their assets. I say neo political correctness because the term has been perverted to mean ‘social justice warrior’ as anti SJW propaganda. You say to let them release it and spread and then let the people decide. Now why would a business put their reputation on the line for bad taste? Don’t they have a right to decide what to publish as part of their portfolio? Censorship would be when the government forces a publisher to not publish something. And there is such a thing as ‘reverse censorship’ when governments try to force the banning of censorship for the reason to allow bigotry into the public. In the state of Florida they tried to ban Facebook from being able to censor politicians at a time when controversies and misinformation was being given about the pandemic, inciting violence, and election conspiracies. That’s a dangerous example of ‘reverse censorship.’ So you may call the right of Facebook censorship as being politically correct, but it’s actually safety precaution. Not to defend Facebook, because they sure as hell let a lot of dangerous rhetoric slip; but obviously politicians have a greater responsibility and shouldn’t have the right to spread dangerous lies and conspiracies and a company not have the right to censor it.2 points

Tactical Shooter Ready Or Not Loses Publisher After Dev Promises School Shooting Mission
The Blackangel and one other reacted to Shagger for a topic
I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually surprised you took that stance. To the point where I'm almost lost for words. Let me just put into words what you just did. When presented with a blatantly homophobic piece of media, you said "that's fine, that's thier freedom of expression." You know damb well that there are members of the LGBTQ community that post on this forum (one such person was recently promoted to a moderator), yet you were willing take that stance because you're stubbornly proud of your point of view and didn't want to admit the error in your point, so instead you said... that. First thing, freedom of expression stops being freedom of expression when the intent is to hinder someone else's human rights, and that's the law pretty much across the board in democratic society. Here is how it is written in UK law, for example, officially known as Article 10. Your own country will almost certainly have something similar, and I know that America does as well. In short even the law states that there is a limit to freedom of expression. If you ask me, artistic expressions like "Kill the Faggot" are obviously expressions of hate and so damage the rights and reputations of the LGBTQ community, so would not call that protected freedom of expression. Just because it's less extreme than, let's say, North Korea where they banned laughing for 11 days around the anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death (I'm not kidding, that actually happened), doesn't mean there isn't limits and they, in fact, necessary. It's freedom of expression to say "Manchester United are shit", but it is not freedom of expression to shoot somebody in a Man' U' shirt and claim "This is my way of saying Man' U' are shit. Freedom of Speech" The reason why that's not freedom of expression/speech is because that so-called "expression" has impeded another persons rights, in this case that Man' U' fan's right to live. That's a blunt and extreme example, but it is the same philosophy of law that applies to artistic expression on the internet. The TL;DR is, you are factually wrong. I do agree that public scrutiny is a great tool to measure where something sits in terms of it's acceptability, but that doesn't mean people have right to do and say whatever they want so the public can "gauge" whether it's right or wrong, and nor should they. Ultimately, if Void Interactive actually follow through with this they will deserve all the ridicule they get and them some. At the very least it's disrespectful and tone deaf, it's just not the kind of subject you mess around with. If this is what Team17 parted ways with them then I applaud them. I know that @The Blackangel mentioned the game Hatred earlier in the thread and in that game you do literally run around brutally murdering innocent people, but the whole tone, style and theme is the game is built around that premise and it is made to feel uncomfortable, so there is context. For a game based around being a part of a SWAT team for them to just say, "I know, let's make level 5 a school shooting! That'd be awesome!" is the mark of somebody who I sincerely hope is deeply, deeply stupid, because the alterative is even worse. Like I said at the start, this is not censorship, nor is it an overbearing dose of political correctness, it's common fucking sense.2 points -
What Is The Greatest Gaming Related Gift You Have Ever Received?
Heatman reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
I would post it, but it has my first and last name in it, as well as @Rain Dew's name. I have no problem giving my first name. It's Jennifer. But for privacy and safety reasons, I don't want to give out my last name.1 point -
It's clear from this statement that your entire knowledge of the UK comes from a 1950 news bulletin! Seriously! Have you actually spent more than 5 minutes in public in the UK? Even on school playgrounds the words cunt and fuck are as casual and cat and dog! Your 1000 times more likely to be arrested using red diesel in your car!1 point

I finally conceded, and have giving up on Resident Evil...

Seriously, he's been quite emotionally involved with the game from his pour out and it's quite understandable when what you looked up to turn out to disappoint.1 point -

Family sedan reacted to Justin11 for a topic
Most of the video games I'm playing via my PS3 aren't new franchise video games. That's why I'm not facing any issue of nicro-transactions, and I wouldn't like to, anytime soon.1 point -

You're right, it's just as useless as never before. Because, it will put you in state of thinking simply to do all sort of evil to get it by all means. I can't go such kind of restless time just for material possession. I'll work hard to get what I want, if I can't reach it, then I wouldn't kill myself over it.1 point -

It's a nice thing to hear about your plans almost set up for you to get your Playstation 5. I'm just right behind you on this because I know that with time, I'm getting mine.1 point -

Feeling sad for what I can't have is a useless feeling. Will the feeling get me what I'm craving? I rather make plans on how to get that and actually get it.1 point -

You shouldn't feel.sad for what your hands can't reach, you need to be contented at least for the option you have at the moment. Then save up, you can get new gen console version with time.1 point -

Lol, I see, he's simply mad at the way Resident Evil series have performed overall ever since he started playing the series. I simply want to know the options that frustrated him the more or it's simply general.0 points
