I'd hate to see devs "toning down" the content of their games as a preemptive measure against offense-takers. They should be free to create.
@stillgray Depends on why. Are they changing it because they're cowards or because they decided "this is a shitty thing to do."
@stillgray Because ultimately the reason for offense isn't because you're delicate, it's b/c you're trying to explain why a thing is shitty.
@stillgray People tend to assume the narrative is "you got bullied into changing!" but maybe you just actually listened and had empathy.
@philhornshaw Yeah, it's a hard line to draw. It doesn't help that we're living in a climate of fear, where offense is taken from all sides.
@stillgray @philhornshaw What "climate of fear" is there? There's ZERO threat of meaningful legal "censorship," Koei-Tecmo...
@stillgray @philhornshaw ...is going to turn a HUGE profit on their shitty softcore party game by insinuating that it MIGHT possibly...
@stillgray @philhornshaw ...incur some kind of criticism from someone AND be labled Free Speech Heroes for it. Who's afraid of what exactly?
@stillgray @philhornshaw No developer is being "prevented" from publishing whatever the hell they want. They just have to be willing to...
@stillgray Personally, I blame Film Crit Hulk, because that's where all of this really began.
@Aurvant Isn't that one of Faraci's projects? The man's a professional offense taker.
@stillgray I don;t know who was behind it, but the narrative shifted towards criticizing games for "problematic" kind of ramped up there.
@stillgray Good lord, you've made some... enemies... from this tweet apparently. :\
@VerverkS It's weird. Some people can't handle a difference of opinions. I have no beef with anyone.
@stillgray Yeah. I remember some years back, people used to clump you in with half the people you seem to argue against the most these days.
@stillgray Remind him of the time he got rekt by furries. He REALLY doesn't like it when you do that.
@stillgray Yeah, seriously. You as a media consumer are obligated to selective exposure. It's not the dev's fault if you're offended.
@stillgray To quote @rickygervais: "Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're in the right."
@stillgray If the devs think for a second the offend-a-trons will be happy for a second with just that small change, they're in for a shock.
@slayersamelia @stillgray they'll be in for an even bigger one if they expect their sales to be effected positively by it
