It's for the best. EA can fix this.

Behind the barn, as always.

"Everything will be all right now, GOG. No more tears. We promise."

And I have, and once again just cause one group uses a hashtag doesnt mean no one else can use it.

I'll give you an example:

Say someone who has had cancer gets it again, and tweets "Got cancer again. Battling it. #WountBeErased."

That mean they support it? That mean they should aplogize for that tweet?

And that might well of been a rouge employee or someone who is against GOG's pandering. But it also doesn't really prove that they outright knew about it. Also it doesn't change the fact that other people can use the same hashtags as other people/groups whom they don't agree with.

The problem is that it's nearly a full time job to keep informed with the latest drama of the day or what hashtag is "safe" and which one you shouln't touch with a ten billions kilometers long pole.

IMHO like I said in the other thread they should probably only put gaming related news on their twitter and keep the jokes or memes to others.

The entire human race is being killed off, but let's all self-immolate because Trump hates unicorns and rainbows. o.O


Not true. All you have to do is a quick search before you use one that you like.

Hey, so, I can save humanity, but you'll all be kept in cages.

That's fine, right? Who cares about quality of life?

(Also, what do you mean that it's possible to fight on multiple fronts at once?)

Doesn't really change squat that you hastily removed these words. So you understand the facts now, it's a start. Congratulations. I don't see your interpretation working out sensibly though. Of course they 'can do' this. Which means they also will face the consequences, or rather, their customers will face the consequences of their reckless and unprecedented business conduct.

Some GOG social media person, possibly the very same guy who also gave us "hate movement promo tweet" and "MRA/Incel anti-trans meme tweet" these last months, hijacked the hashtag of a civil rights movement because – and here's a not actually far fetched interpretation – he doesn't give a shit about the cause, because he's not trans, and likely because he hates the guts out of LGBTQ+ people.

That's why "oh sorry" really doesn't cut it.

Oh look, it's "first world problems" Richlind. I mean, I even like you and shit, but I don't see you in any civil rights or environmental forums, just on a gaming forum. But, being at the source, how about electing more minorities, including trans people, into government positions? If you want to solve/stall climate change, I assure you, that's a great step one. And I absolutely applaud you for giving a shit about the issue.

Martial homosexuals are trying to intimidate people and spreading their SJW-ideology. They using media and social networks for persecution ppl with opposite opinion. They terrorising videogame developers and filmmakers. For example - situation with Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Even on this forum they trying to hide other people messages with their downvotes. So childish and dumb.

Poles are doing everything right, good luck to them! Their store, unlike competitors, allows you to get the game, not to rent. And they making good games with adequate prices.

Apparently almost #anything is offending nowadays someone. It's a fucked-up world.

Do us a favor and leave GOG because of their horrible, horrible, facist, transphobic, despicable demeanor. Please!

Just checking, but are you with Azov?

I removed those words as Poppy posted theres a slim chance that it was intentional. And if it was then I agree with you. But if GOG chose to use that hashtag with no idea or thought it would just be a good fit then I don't see the issue.

Did you read their public posts? It's obviously virtue signalling.

We are pulling our movies because of 3 transphobic tweets (even though one of them wasn't related to that at all) and the other two can hardly be classified as such except by extreme nutjobs.

Not a single tweet said anything offensive at all, but through some creative twists and turns certain crazies tried to make them out as such, on the same order of the crazy jerks who tried to make PewDIePie out to be a Nazi for mocking Hitler.

Last time I checked, trans people were human beings.

Assuming you meant "impossible", It doesn't take a genius to realize that only the strongest are going to win when it comes to the politics of particularity; so yes, it's incredibly foolish to not try to present a unified front, because that's the only way we can all come out on top.

How about getting offended by the xenophobic to alt-right posts instead? Oooops. I guess Teddy's blind on that eye.

No, it's not. Once you want to use a hashtag you're not sure about, just check it out. And if it is something political, just stay away or make sure that you really want to mock the people using it.
But in this case it wasn't even a mistake. They deliberately used a hashtag they knew about.
That would be a good idea.
