This is how it started:
Lords of the Fallen Studio CI Games Will Not Integrate DEI Elements in Their Games To Maximize Player Enjoyment and Commercial Success
The Lords of the Fallen studio CI Games recently revealed they will not integrate DEI in their games to continue maximizing player enjoyment and commercial success.

Then there were polls about player preference for Male/Female vs. Body Type A/B and character attractiveness. Those went about how you'd expect them to and the studio committed to putting Male/Female (I think they already did) and creating attractive characters in their games. That's the type of behavior the Reddit mod deems 'fascist'.

First they came for the type As, and I did not speak out, because I was not a type A

For people claiming to be against fascism, they sure do like silencing any dissenting opinions.

Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Thats how all agendas work. Its bad until its what you agree with. People are dumb, yes
Agenda is good, but only when it's the one they want.

I would say they're useful idiots for certain groups and individuals who want to control narratives and thoughts
And they do it for free!

Wouldn't be surprised if they simply nuke the whole subforum out of spite.

Is there not a splinter subreddit yet? The ship is barely above water at this point and there's a whole community of people and mods that would happily regroup. All it needs is for someone to tell that dev and tada, they're all home again while the angry mods shout to an empty room.
I wonder how many of the LotF subreddits are also the people that run gamingcirclejerk. That subreddit banned a shit ton of people for reasons I still don't know and then went on similar rants.

I'm so glad to see people calling them out on their bullshit.
- "We made this thread to have a discussion in good faith."
- "How can it be in good faith opening this thread AFTER you've permanently banned every single person who disagreed with you?"
This is always how they keep losing people and causing them to flock to the other side. I still remember me, years ago, when I knew NOTHING of GAF and ERA, and I was searching for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite leaks and found a thread or two on ERA, back when it first opened (I think). And they were like, 'we made this forum to go away from the nazis and the fascists, etc.' and I was like, "Cool!" and I bookmarked ERA and began browsing that forum for news.
And week by week, day by day, they would be a ban for someone who said the wrong thing.
And week by week, day by day, the 'wrong thing' started to sound less and less wrong in my head.
And the moment I went 'wait- WHAT?!' was when they accused someone of being a fascist for saying that a transwoman has a biological advantage over a biological female. That's when it hit me that they had began to oppose reality itself.
And now they've reached a point where people saying there are two genders are labeled as 'fascists'. And it's those extremities which make normal people go, 'alright, these guys are fucking insane'.
The more they push, the more the normies see them for what they are.
And it's glorious.

Agreed about extremities, we're seeing a bit of a cultural shift in gaming and elsewhere because things have become so ridiculous and excessive. And the more a spotlight is shown on this phenomenon, the more its proponents act up and out. In short, I believe we will have plenty more examples of the blatant misunderstanding and use of the word 'fascist' in coming times - and the backlash will continue to be glorious.

It's hilarious watching them make the same mistake over and over. The minute someone uses their brain and shows a bit of healthy skepticism and moderation, these lunatics freak the fuck out and do everything they can to shove them over to the other side.
Their little bubble just keeps shrinking and shrinking.

The thing with reddit is that you need to know which subs to avoid in order to actually enjoy using it. The subs I'm in are pretty apolitical, have lax moderation and are mostly just showcases or people asking hardware related questions. The difference between that and the absolute trash that comes up on the "popular" tab is colossal.

Bubble goes "pop".
In all seriousness, though, behavior like that of the Reddit mods does exactly as you say - it pushes even moderate people further to the other side. I think this is a good thing, though, because so much of the ideology espoused is just bizarre and nonsensical. More eyes on it drastically increases the chance of common sense finally getting a say - which I believe is what we're seeing in a lot of the responses to the mods.

As a man of a certain age, I have become very interested in World War II recently. I always knew about it, but I never spent too much time looking into it until now. I think it's really disrespectful to those who died because of them to throw around "Nazi" so freely and it's just plain inaccurate 99% of the time. Also, it's a bad arguing tactic to go immediately to 10 when labeling someone you don't like.

The crazy part is that if they haven't gone so batshit insane, over the top, and were more careful and less hostile about their views, there would be a lot less opposition. It wasn't the fact that they had the views that they had, it was the PUSH and the flat-out hostility towards parties with different views that did them in. No one had any problem with transpeople until they started shoving them down everyone's throat every fucking day, every fucking tweet, and called names anyone who didn't want that.
THAT's what did them in.
I don't think I've ever encountered a greater case of irony in my life. The people who call everyone they don't like a fascist and a nazi are acting like the thing they hate - AND THEY CAN'T EVEN SEE IT. It's INSANE.

All these idiots understand are labels. That's how utterly superficial their politics are.
Left is "good", Right is "bad". Doesn't matter that the extremes of leftism have a body count that dwarfs that of the excesses of the right, and even if they weren't oblivious to political history you can bet they'd probably argue that those past atrocities were just an example of somebody "not doing it right". The irony being that they'd doubtless freak out if anyone dared to use that argument to rehabilitate the ideology of Fascism!
As with so many things these days the real axis of division is identitarianism, and the willingness of its supporters to be autocratic to the point of totalitarianism to ensure their identity is dominant.
Sorry mods, delete if you think this is too political. But I'd defend the post on the basis that this is -at its core- not about politics. Just tribalism.

I was thinking about this earlier, particularly the use of "fascist ideology" in the mod's post. There's nothing wrong with listening to players and walking back on DEI initiatives based on player feedback and the fact that it can impact financial success for games. It is, however, very extreme to make decisions for an entire community based on beliefs they don't share and then to delete dissenting comments (voices). It strikes me as projection - assigning things you don't want to see about yourself onto other people. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but it seems like the most reasonable answer.

It's really annoys me that the one founder hung himself due to that BS JSTOR "crime."
I have no idea if he'd be backing this but I like to think that he wouldn't. Reddit is a cancer. Like all platforms that big, there are of course tons of obscure/useful communities but the vast majority of it is pure mind rot nonsense. Burn it all.

Do you have an example of what goes on here that is the same?
This is why they keep losing and the other side keeps gaining new recruits. Somebody on the left strays from the acceptable path and they display their famous tolerance for independent thought and go nuclear.
The right is then standing there with open arms ready to welcome them. You would think that they would realize even for their own interest that they need to change their approach.
They instead sit there acting like the victim when the backlash happen. The big difference is that on this board I have expressed plenty of leftist views with no issue while the slightest deviation from the SJW worldview gets you banned from the purple forum.

If anything, the reddit mods proved they're sad little bitches.
