Okay, I've been bored as fuck this afternoon - right now there are two Cyberpunk threads on the homepage. The one above and just a general discussion about the last Night City Wire episode from yesterday. One of their posters creates elaborate OT's for each episode, yesterday being no exception. The vast majority in that thread aren't commenting on faggot trans issues, so of course, they've decided to turn against the guy making the threads. Here are some gems - we really fucked up not forcing some of these faggots into a war:
I mean quite honestly, I think posters who post a lot in cyberpunk threads but completely, without fail, ignore discussions about the issue should be banned. especially when @ZeoVGM quoted their post and politely asked what they thought of these discussions
It goes from “wanting to talk about the game on its own” to simply ignoring trans voices and telling them you don’t give a shit when the ignorance is this frequent. There’s absolutely no other way to read their lack of response imo. Its blatantly transphobic.
It’s pretty disgusting to read these posters just completely ignore it to the point where it looks like two entirely different threads happening at once, not lying when I say it’s making me cringe and a little bit sick to my stomach.
You guys have done it. Congratulations. You are basically the Church during the Crusades, burning at the stake every single person that don't agree with you and hunting down people that choose to not get involved in the topic.
And the funny thing is that all your hate is even targeting the mods and admins now! Hahaha. Guess they are getting a taste of the completely lunatic community they built over time. Posters are now actually asking to ban people that just want to enjoy the game and don't focus on, you know, cyberpunk stuff, like modding a body.
Can't wait to play the game this november. Also guys don't forget to turn your discord overlay off and set steam to invisible so you can play the game and continue posting here
I
kinda do understand the want for a public statement of Chamber though.
He, without doubt, is the face of any and all Cyberpunk threads on Era. Check his history, and literally all he does for months now is posting about and advertising Cyberpunk 2077. Which is absolutely fine, he might just be a superfan, he might be connected to the game in ways I do not know or care about. But.
If I'm watching a very game specific youtuber I like, and the game he's talking about gets into societal shenanigans that make them look real bad, repeatedly, I would like to know where "my" Youtuber stands. If I'm following an Influencer reporting, I want to know his stance on things before having another Jontron at my hand. Especially in the highly political and socially pointed Era forum, I do feel it is somewhat weird if a prominent user purposefully avoids any and all positioning on such an important issue.
Of course, it's not the way to corner a use to "oh please, continue.." him or her. I get that. But the topic wasn't only avoided, it was actively overwritten by other posts to bring a thread to a new page - at least that's how it feels like, which you also confirmed iirc. I don't think it's too much to ask Era's predominant CP2077 "blogger" to add something regarding this issue in his OT's, in the occasional post, or, at least, to make his position on this clear, if only for others to decide if they can participate in the thread without feeling like they're being mocked or ignored. If only because if Era is anything, it should be a positive and including voice, not one of ignorance and "you go over there please" big G "Gamers".
So yeah. While the method wasn't cool, I totally understand the hope to get at least one single sentence out of Chamber, as he is, by his own work, Era's voice on Cyberpunk 2077 threads.
edit Hupsel thanks for showing that face, pretty much what some expected. What the hell.
Know better?
Know better than to signal boost and financially support a sexist and transphobic company?
I guess you know better how the bottom of their boot tastes.
I'm ignoring every Cyberpunk 2077 hype thread. Fucking gamergate trolls.

Jesus Christ are you guys seriously going to ignore every comment/thread that details why CDPR is transphobic? "Oh cool cars yay," "Hope this looks great on my new card haha," "I took a week off so excited"
You really don't give a shit. Fucking hell.
I could go on but I've already spent my load (both literally and figuratively). Watching these pussies eat themselves, I suppose you could say, is my new "kink".
And "we're" the nazis?! Looooooooool
