It's not about me not seeing it, self responsibility is too easy of an answer to right the ship, it's about you not being allowed to say or think it.

Only if we had history to draw upon to know how this all ends. Then again, revisionism and stamping out said history is at an all time high.True, and horrifying.

This stood out to me, too. I'm sure I've read in passing that she isn't liked by the internet trans community, but from the few videos I watched a couple years back she seemed very grounded and realistic. She's transsexual and is well aware of that fact and doesn't get mad if people aren't into transsexuals. If anyone knows why she's considered transphobic I'd love to understand why, because on the face of it using her as evidence of transphobia doesn't do the argument any favours.

It's dogma, she doesn't conform to their echo chamber so she's cast out; there's no actual logic to it.

Wrong think. Pushes back against a lot of the lunacy and control mechanisms. I.E. victimhood as a currency to get what you want in an unproductive life by those who suffer from extreme cases of NPDs.This stood out to me, too.

This used to be detective GAF, now it's just a bunch of fucking losers, looking for negative shit, the same way they used to vacuum up gaming leaks and other 411.

As someone with trans friends I do not tolerate transphobia. That said, what did this lady do, exactly? Follow a bunch of alt-right idiots? People hate follow others all the time on Twitter. Being excited for an AAA game with one of the most popular IPs on earth? I haven't been able to find evidence she did or said anything that could be construed as hateful.

Yea, my only actual social media profile has a few pics of my dogs and the outdoors, check it every few months so old friends and relatives know I'm still alive, lol.
Gotta have that burner account to talk shit. I got blocked by Schreier himself today.

Schreier is such a pretentious wet fart. Question anything he says and he blocks you. Makes it easier for him to savor his own aroma I guess.Yea, my only actual social media profile has a few pics of my dogs and the outdoors, check it every few months so old friends and relatives know I'm still alive, lol.

Kind reminder to never use twitter, or just delete tweets after a year.
Does Chaya (Libs Of TikTok) just repost content from TikTok, which they would have uploaded by themselves originally?

That's certainly what it seems like, but I'm always willing to hear both sides of a story. From what I saw of Blaire White's videos, she seems like the sort of person trans people should be inspired by, not villified. Very much seemed like she had her hear screwed on.
stopped to search reddit
I didn't look too far into it, but it seems she's lost a couple defamation lawsuits because she makes videos about people that aren't true. Without getting into it too much, she doesn't appear to wear Crip colours if you catch my drift.
That's as far as I care to look, I don't care enough to deep dive
lol at everyone saying 'damn this is a bad look for LRG'
are they really supposed to go through not only the social media pages of their employees to see what they post, but also look at who they follow? it's asinine.
Reading between the lines it does seem like she probably doesnt get trans people. plenty of people dont understand it and have no empathy for it. that's not the problem. spouting hate is, which she's not doing.
It's inching a little too close to pushing for people to be fired over being republican. I don't like or agree with them, but gunning for that level of extremism only ends badly for both sides.

It's not a mistake if used correctly. Problem is when you got a free platform (excluding the recent $8 blue checkmark fee), what people realize is that a good portion of the masses are total morons. Most people probably thought that in their heads, but with social media now you can actually see it. And with something like Twitter which is an anything goes kind of site, you get the lowest of low brow people all trying to get their 15 minutes of fame and anger off their chest.
On the other hand, another free site like Linkedin isnt like that. You got almost all professionals putting a picture and resume of themselves up there. It can lead to sucking up for brownie pts, but you're not going to see low browers yelling on that site or cancel culture posts because nobody would give two shits about their angry posts. People care about jobs, networking, recruiting and stuff like that. Not opinions about Harry Potter games. If anyone saw a Linkedin member is being an emotional jackass, nobody would care or hire them. But in places like Twitter, you got other losers thinking the same so they got support in numbers. Losers among losers mentality.
I remember articles about Twitter and how the founders didn't expect it to become such a massive platform filled with politics and conflict. They probably thought it would just be a quick free way for people to tweet about the daily lives and give friends a heads up about which streets to avoid due to car accidents. Just every day boring stuff.
There's no way any of these big platforms in their initial business strategies in the early 2000s during formation thought it would morph into so much politics, people making careers out of being a social media whore, doxxing, cancel culture etc.... 15-20 years ago they probably meant well chatting about it at someone's dining room table. But there's no turning back now.

This is really important though.
Our culture is being grotesquely manipulated to appease a tiny minority of mentally deranged land manatees.
They need to be told to fuck off. Genuinely. Absolute cunts that belong in a basement where they can wank to anime.

Can we see the tweet that set off the other place? I'm mega excited about Hogwarts legacy too 
I do feel sorry for the person in question.
I'm surprised Resetera isn't trying to cancel all the old gaming magazines that said something was gay to say it was bad.
Obviously no-one says it now, but it was pretty normal in the 90s.
Or the 90s playstation magazine where you could send in a "sexy" picture of your missus and they would rate her.
The 90s would get cancelled in today's world. XD

Can someone with an era account let them know how unhinged they are, to try bully someone online and pretty much ruin someone's career.
Honestly, it should be criminal at this point to try ruin someone's life over twitter posts/likes from years ago.
I bet if we saw past stuff posted or said by some of the user's there, we would see a massive amount of hypocrisy.
And the way they wish death upon people those that don't share their views is usually much worst than the views they disagree with imo.
Truly disgusting community over there imo.

Don't worry, Hogwarts can easily become the best selling game of the year on its own. Some fanboys made fun of it in the other recent thread which predicted this, but casuals will eat up this game.

one of my posts from this thread just got removed due to the "no politics" rule...
I mean sure, but isn't this whole thread basically a political thread?
like the premise is basically workers rights and left wing cancel culture... isn't it? so shouldn't the whole thread be under that rule as well?
I am confused where the line is... it doesn't help you can't see which mod deleted your comment to ask what is going on.

I hate limited run games, but this is a nothing burger, of a bunch of chronic internet no lifes, crying to virtue signal how they are such amazing loving people they are, by firing someone for a personal tweet from 7 years ago. God these people need to touch grass.
Manager shouldn't have gotten fired for this, people need to separate business and personal life's, you should never be fired from your job, for something you tweeted at home while taking a shit. Now if this stuff was tweeted onto an official lrg social platform, yeah sure can 'em. But no one should be fired for what they do or say on their own free time.

"I just signed a contract"
"Won't be able to move forward with our business until this is addressed and Lynne is fired"
Sombody doesn't understand contracts.
Imagine being so flippant about trying to destroy someone's career over something as trivial as this. The lack of empathy displayed by folks who claim to be fighting under the flag of empathy and understanding is frightening.
That's how faschists do it.
I still think personally that social media ruined more lives altogether than the positives. "you can connect with people!" yeah, no shit. Wonder how it was before. It's an corporate and ad infested network, there's nothing social about it.
This is a witch hunt. Just because you follow someone doesn't mean shit. Let's say I'm talking with right wing people for a thesis or to keep track of their arguments, for research for WHATEVER is my busines. Doesn't mean I agree with them. Some real lunatics out there.

Without going deeper, that's just scratching the surface of what's going on. It's a legion of normies who's attention being torn in different directions. Unfortunately, a lot of them find solace in the antics of /they/them. While very inclusive, it's just an illusion, it's towing the line, it's disingenuous, it's anti-science, etc. It's evil disguised as good intentions. Plain and simple.

Don't know what the law is in the USA, but I imagine in most first world countries stuff like "following people on Twitter" and "being excited about a videogame based on one of the biggest media franchises in the world" isn't a valid ground for termination. Hopefully LRG don't let themselves get bullied into firing someone for Twitter crimes
You need to keep in mind that to these people saying you aren't sexually attracted to a woman with a dick is enough to be labeled a transphobe.
Like most "phobias" and "isms", places like Resetera and Twitter use words like transphobia so frequently and in such a broad way that they've sort of lost all meaning.

I'm assuming that you're asking for clarification rather than criticizing the moderation. The rule that I go by is no "red vs blue, us vs them, my team is better than your team" divisiveness, and no criticizing or praising specific politicians, only the actions taken by government as a whole.
But in terms of political compass and the like, it's helpful to remember that censorship and public pressure campaigns have historically come from the left and right alike, and there are plenty of people on the left and right alike who don't support this sort of censorship. And then there's all those people who don't identify as either left or right, and refuse to limit themselves to those labels. So my advice is don't reduce things to left vs right and you should be considerably less likely to find yourself getting moderated for politics.

Your post was deleted as it was in response to the main offender. Nothing you need to really worry about. Best to keep this thread to laughing at the mentally insane and dreading the power they wield due to social media. I miss when Twitter didn’t exist.
