If this is how the Devs spoke before their game was even out yet, then yes, being gleeful about it failing to sell is understandable. It may be cruel, but there are no innocent people in this.

| 2M | mod | Removed Comment It's more of a summery of all the things gamers have been called over the last few years.
It pretty much started with Anita Sarkeesian and although she herself isn't in the gaming industry a bunch of people that *are* in it, seem to have taken to her words to heart and continued spitting on their own customers. So this has been going on for a while.
And yes, Community Managers do speak for the Developers, that is literally their job. Individual Developers also speak for them all when there's no consequences internally or even a lame standardized statement being put out by the studio they work for, denouncing or dissociating neither with their statement or the individual.
Crudely but, this is where we are now. People are fed up and everyone is lashing out.
Personally, I don't have a beef with any individual Devs, that I can think of. But I have indeed been so disillusioned by the AAA industry over the years, that seeing some of these studios fail almost feels like a schoolyard bully getting his comeuppance. But that's for other reasons, mostly. by Feydaikin reason: gamergater shit |

| 2Y | mod | Restored Comment Yeah, I get it. Here's the thing though, this specific part:
>I also have autism and some people with the condition aren’t as good as me at putting together the connotations of words AND the overall post to figure out the poster’s intentions. And some people aren’t terminally online and have less exposure to seeing this word used. They’ve likely overwhelmingly seen it used as a pejorative, and end up very skeptical of this post.
Those people all have one thing in common: nobody put a gun to their head and said "what's going on with this post? Make the call and post your comment NOW". One thing all we here on the internet do all have in common is the ability to read, and to use our sapience to make decisions about what we read. To say "this seems out of line. Could it be what I think it is, or am I assuming?" By process of elimination, a person either chooses to do that, or chooses to be assumptive. And also:
>I don’t like the idea that people like me, or that people who might have reasonably arrived at a different conclusion about this, are being told that they’re huge dorks who need to go outside.
There is no reasonable way to get to the wrong conclusion.
Ever.
If you're being reasonable, you either find the right conclusion beyond all reasonable doubt, or you concede that you don't have enough information and then move on with your life. The only way to get to the wrong conclusion is to jump to conclusions, because being reasonable requires you to start from the point of "there may be no answer I can find". The people in this thread who got it wrong made assumptions, jumped to conclusions, and defended themselves by being belligerent. That is a fundamental lack of respect for others' intelligence that goes beyond being rude to people and using mean words. by @sarsaparilyptus@beehaw.org |
| 2Y | mod | Restored Comment >Post: Uses the word normies in a positive sense and literally says it's great that gaming is more accessible
>
>Fediverse: Is this a neckbeard?
The reaction is a bit more like
"B-B-B-BUT THE ***CONNOTATIONS!!!*** Bro you just LITERALLY used a word that has PROBLEMATIC CONNOTATIONS because it's ALSO USED by PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE, and that makes you GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!! I am PROUD of how I combine purity testing and code switching into a DEFINITELY accurate litmus test, because I think I'm a character from Dune!! I don't know what the FUCK 'context' is but it SOUNDS like something the ALT-RIGHT would care about!!!!"
If I ever caught myself taking an obvious self-effacing remark seriously, I would be *so ashamed.* Anyone coming into this thread with hurt feelings about the word "normies" is a huge dork and needs go outside. by @sarsaparilyptus@beehaw.org |
