Ironically, the fat shaming hate subs are somewhat more of an active threat than the racist and pedophilia subs, because fat-haters were enthusiastically and actively harassing people in real life, if I recall correctly.
who the fuck even cares what ResetEra has to say?
this trend of ResetEra being used as 1. a source and 2. a good scope of public opinion about something is really fucking stupid
i honestly can't wait until a big enough influencer brings up the stupid shit about ResetEra and it ends just like neogaf. the site just reeks of holier than thou and god complex mods
this whole "outrage" is fucking stupid, THQNordic has no reason to apologize whatsoever
I don't think reset era being outraged over this makes 8chan good?
That aside it's fucking hilarious how it played out in four tweets.
ThqN: Come check out our ama on 8chan!
ThqN: whoa we didn't know about that child porn stuff
ThqN: this wasn't about being edgy and we regret ever doing it.
I would hope in people's eagerness to run in here and take a steaming dump on reset era they wouldn't lose sight of that.

If anyone wanted to see THQ replies without having to go to 8ch

Should be all of them iirc.
Are people not allowed to share their thoughts? Game devs have a better perspective of this, as well.
Who is arguing they shouldn't? it's about accountability.
Just tickles me thinking people would be hamstrung about THQ doing something they deemed absolutely unprofessional, and then same time eager for blood and toxicity
twitter amirght?
hey craptasket, did you maybe consider that people are dissing it because it's 8chan, the "people who were too edgelord for 4chan" chan board, and not because of whatever neogaf had to say about it?
If you had a brain (read the thread too) you'd realize 4chan and 8chan are cut from the same cloth, so splitting hairs about that is mute.
I know you're going to lecture me how 8chan has white supremacists and it makes you mad, all while forgetting what the topic is about so take good care.
so 8chan being the same as 4chan makes it okay but also still neogaf/resetera/whatever's fault???
sure jan
appropriate name i guess
I know it's hard to think, but perhaps give it a thought the actions of individuals/companies done inside any of these sites should come first. Site reputation second. Could argue they should have the same weight i guessssss but,
THQ PR AMA in 8ch failed, they conducted themselves just fine. That should be important. You often go around yourself posting FP has white supremacists, should you be posting here if that was true?
Ok but the assertion was that 8chan was created to just be a worse 4chan so get out of here with your straw man
I wouldn't find 4chan to be better than 8chan tbh
I same I say about Reddit and ResetERA, and they are even worse on my eyes because the influence that they have to developers.
ResetEra/NeoGaf getting mad about this is irrelevant due to how fucking small they are and how little in the way of purchasing power they have. Small petty circlejerk not worthy of anyone's time.
But now my own issue with this debacle doesn't come with them, but with their marketing guy being stupid and pretending everyone else is just as stupid. He goddamn knows what 8chan is. He knew the reputation it had. And went along with it just fine thinking it will be great. Him pretending to not know is so transparent it's laughable. It's his job to know this. Even more so in a the fucking industry he's in. Even if he didn't know, he could have set aside literal minutes to find out why they have their reputation. And if he didn't do that and just went along with it based on some random bloke they happen to know's word, then he is pretty much incompetent at a job a monkey in a suit can do. Speaking from experience.
And I know what a lot of people are thinking "So what? A bit of drama and some fireworks. Any publicity is good publicity, right?" Wrong. I see people keep beating that half truth drum, some of them in this thread even. And I get it. Its a catchy quote that sounds like a good explanation to any situation involving bad press. The truth is that you can benefit from bad publicity, but you have to take advantage of it in a way that requires more effort that your standard PR apology tweet.
The games industry is heavily influenced by public opinions. Those of the buyers at least. Its why giving a really bad first impression can break a game and sink a studio (or at least put them in a dire spot) if they don't do anything to improve it afterwards.(see: the last few games released by Bioware) And we have seen numerous times how bad publicity generated by press and associations has fucked over a game/studio. Another example is this post
I don't agree with him. I don't even want to talk to this guy. But because I think THQ's marketing fucked up with this, people can assume (safely so), that I'm on his side unless I clarify I'm not. And now our 'side' looks infinitely stupid because of bad posts like this. Thanks buddy. You're helping moving this conversation forward.
I don't really have akin in the game, I don't post on any of the websites mentioned. Everything is garbage.
I don’t think they deserve any problems over this but I do agree they should own up to it and preferably instead be like “yeah what of it?”. Devolver digital would’ve done this and shown strength. It feels like bending knee to people that are wrong by pretending to be ignorant themselves and kissing their ass.
now they’re just alienating both ends
And to be fair if it comes down to "sides" 4chan/8chan has a better track record of making or breaking a game than resetera/neogaf.
Though I think this whole thing of making political sides is ridiculous.
keep saying resetera has no power yet they are the ones developers bend over towards as soon as the slightest hint of criticism comes forth. and its not even real critique. bullshit like the faked Catherine stuff or even this is just evidence that resetera are nothing more but power-hungry madmen who want to ruin the industry
Wow, people openly defending the chan sites and posting tweets from Best Mom Eva. And then the posts with the unironic "FAKE NEWS" and resting importance to the madness of GG. Wow. You did it. Yikes.
You guys are really edgy, even delusional I would say considering all the times harassement campaigns comes from there and Reddit, among other harmful shit. BUT hey, lets keep using the drama of another place as meatshield.
NeoGAF/ResetERA is only slighly worse than Facepunch so yea, it is time you go far from these places for a while and start seeing them from outside, because for any other person in internet these places are in their own grade of cringeness.
im not defending 4chan or 8chan's vile attitudes though. but in this scenario resetera were the ones openly calling for firings and witchhunts.
Very embarrassing of them tbh. How will they ever recover from such wrongthink.
Wowzers Yikes Oof Uhm.
Good arguments you sure proved everyone wrong.
Are you for real?

Don't think these posts were mentioned yet. I believe they work at Bethesda.
how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man
They fact they are a verified Dev is probably why they have not been banned on sight.
You mean verafied
Did you ever consider maybe looking in a mirror?
And you happily contribute to that on a regular basis.
I'm very curious what reality you came from and just how you managed to tunnel your way into this one without noticing.
THQ's own employees are going on twitter to say this was a bad idea, the studios they own are upset that THQ's idiocy is going to hurt their own reputations and drag them down; stop trying to make this into a conspiracy.
