NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

Read in order.

The Steam forums are an absolute nightmare. I also find RPGCodex to be so, to a slightly lesser degree.

Edit - I suppose I should clarify. The Steam forums shit status should be obvious to any who has visited, RPGCodex's not least because of moderators openly bragging about pirating games that they then slag off. Classy, that.

I haven't seen anything really positive, or productive ever from the RPGCodex. It just seems to be a place for people to insult and denigrate others. I haven't had much experience with it though... the prolific use of f*g and other childish insults doesn't really induce in-depth reading.

Just had a little more of a scan around on RPGCodex... chose 15 or so forum thread pages at random. On average 3 uses of the word f*g on each, some anti-semitism, someone posts an opinion that doesn't seem to toe the line ("Skyrim isn't an RPG, but isn't as bad as I expected") and they're immediately accused of Trolling or Sockpuppetry. They also seem to be really hung up on graphics, which seems really odd for a community dedicated to RPG's (where graphics aren't that important)... seem to be awfully intent on Skyrim's shadows not being the best.

I think that's because they know that next-gen games are all about graphics at the expense of gameplay. They then feel entitled to moan about how bad the graphics are in places. I see nothing wrong with that.

Also, about the accusations of trolling, chances are it actually is a troll. A lot of the shitty members create alts every day to cause mischief. Without understanding their posting styles it's difficult for you to judge who is and isn't a troll.

But they aren't.

But they aren't.

That's the popular opinion on the Codex, and most likely the opinion of those people bitching about the graphics. Your thoughts on the matter are completely irrelevant to the topic.

I've only ever been given grief by moderators when I've deserved it. I've given up on a few forums after they've become toxic though. Most forums get to the point where people with desenting opinions are hounded out and things become a negative feedback loop. RPG Codex is one of them, I also think this is why Wizardry xhooses to come here an annoy people, there is nobody else to discuss different things with at RPG Codex because everyone there is completely closed minded and anti-social. After a while when you have the same core group of people on a forum slapping each other on the back and telling each other how their forum is the best and everyone else sucks you may as well close it down.

No forums are immune and I guess that eventually the RPS forums will turn into that as well. Until then I'll stick around.

Re-reading this I'm surprised at how sociopathic it sounds.

For now I'll just enjoy RPS.

Edit: Wizardry's comment about "shit posters" pretty much sums it up nicely. Anyone who disagrees with the opinion of the majority on the forum instantly becomes a troll and shit poster and they get drowned out by the likes of Wizardry. That shit is toxic.

The amount of casual racism, sexism, homophobia and antisemitism found in an average RPG Codex thread is, quite frankly, terrifying. They seem to hate everything and have to loudly proclaim so, mostly by using insults that involve the things stated above. Anyone trying to make money is a jew, everyone who's not as harcore as they percieve themselves to be is a fag or gay, etc.. And the moderators never do anything about it, in fact they're usually the most vocal in using these terms.

And the moderators never do anything about it, in fact they're usually the most vocal in using these terms.

Of course the moderators do nothing about it. Free speech is an important part of the culture over there. Moderators only ever really punish spammers. People may be racist or homophobic, but the forum is made up of a wide range of people including a sizeable transsexual contingent.

"Free speech" is the protection from government sanction for voicing or otherwise expressing opinions concerning the government. It is not, and never has been, in any part of the world, a carte blanche to freely insult or disrespect other individuals. The official stance on which is that it can be resolved amongst individuals. The fact that RPGCodex engages in such derogatory comments as a matter of course has nothing to do with "Free speech" and everything to do with sycophantry and anti-intellectualism.

The solution to which, for most users of the internet, is to ignore the place. Which is why such vitriol is arises when people try to use the place as an example of anything other than what it is.

(Expecting this post to appear on RPG codex and be picked apart as if my disgust at their behaviour is somehow wrong)

Yeah. It's such a terrible place that Obsidian developers frequently browse the forum.

Mods? We don't need no steenkin mods! Our natural acerbity wins the day!

You're not likely to get permabanned, but why would you bother?

Go over there and make a contrarian statement. Not a rude one, just an unusual one. See what response you'll get. I don't think it'll be one that'll display a culture of free speech.

So you can say "Jew" or "Fag". So what? It's baby-talk to equate that with free speech. Free speech isn't about "I can express what words I like". Free speech is about "I can express what IDEAS I like".

The type of speech you're defending is a sham of freedom. It promotes intolerance of ideas behind a claim of being tolerant of words. What the words are promoting moreover, is an even further intolerance of other ideas.

"Free speech is an important part of the culture". You really believe that?

Best part of RPG Codex is who they determine is or isn't a "protected group". If you insult someone of a protected group about that, you're going to get banned.

Protected groups: Furries, transvestites, aspies, fat people.
Non-protected groups: Black people, Jews, Nazis, gypsies.

On liberal forums like RPS they hate white heterosexual men, Christians, conservatives, republicans, Western civilization, Israel, and Japan, and undoubtedly many other things.

But you see, that's all completely different. They're just practising social justice. And they do it politely (in a completely fake way that's not actually polite at all).

 

[Excidium]

Wizardry sure has a lot of spare time. Should put it to better use.

RPS forum members are retarded.

I agree, Wizardry must be at the very least from the Codex because he clearly trolled that topic, it was completely derailled. Here's a gem:

People may be racist or homophobic, but the forum is made up of a wide range of people including a sizeable transsexual contingent.

That's basically a Codex in-joke, Wizardry is screaming to be found.


But MMXI, erm, whomever Wizardry is, needs to restrain himself a bit. He mentioned in the thread to boost the Codex's image that "Obsidian developers frequently browse it". Not only is this a weak retort and inneffective, but it's clearly taken from the fact Anthony Davis was kind enough to us to answer questions less than a week earlier. You have to be careful because the reason why some developers slag us publicly is because they can't praise us publicly. You don't want to put any developer in trouble, or else the Codex's ideals may be hurt by its closest allies.

I also think that if the trolling was handled better, Jaesun didn't need to come in and set the record straight. Maybe he wanted to do it on purpose and get some converts, but to me it's almost a failed trolling. When you troll the topic to be about the Codex, you don't want the end result to be police sirens outside of your house, but just to improve its image a bit or make its detractors look stupid.

Hang on a second... since when did we declare furfags and disgusting tubs of lard protected groups?

Jasede. He has written some very well in depth posts on various games. He hasn't posted much in depth lately though.

 

[thesoup]

Are there any transvestites here, anyway? I thought we only had transsexual folks.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Jasede is awesome. Wish he'd post more.

Also, fuck RPS. They're a crappy lot.

Wouldn't hating Israel be anti-semitic?

Not hating Israel would be anti-Islamic and pro-Western, and that's way worse.

I didn't bother watching beyond him doing the puzzle, and for the sake of your sanity, I recommend you don't either. I love how he complains about the puzzle being too easy when he should've solved it in 15 seconds.

I'll never understand why these idiots are so popular on Youtube.

 

[Excidium]

That first puzzle was mongoloid. The second one was more interesting because it used that inventory gimmick.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I love how he complains about the puzzle being too easy when he should've solved it in 15 seconds.

Yeah, if anything because he manages to fail at first and triggers the trap :D

His remark was funny, though. "Seems like whoever designed the puzzle had that broken piece in mind"

By the way.

As far as I could tell, they have a weird fascination with Arcanum(why?) and really off-putting-looking indie RPGs. So can anyone explain what the deal with that place is.

That's a very monocled way to say "looks like shit"

Excuse me lady, but your face is somewhat off-putting-looking. Would you kindly make use of this paper bag while we have sex?

CAN IT BE THAT EASY?

Did not finish watching video yet.

Edit: oh it pretty much was. Seriously Bethesda?

Well the only thing I’ve really seen of Skyrim besides dragons is the Flame Atonach (or whatever it’s called) Is there some ideally bodied male summon that can equal it? Why it bothers me so much is that once again women are at the beck and call of men (even though you can play a woman, it was a man that was used as the default face.) that ultimately they become a summonable plaything.

I... I just... I don't...

This.



What the fuck did I just read??

Yeah, that one made me wince a little. Anyway, a quick look at the Frost Atronach would show that it's supposed to look like a big, strong man. The one in Morrowind even has bondage gear.

But Frost Atronach's are generally somewhat more powerful - doesn't that imply filthy male swines trying to paint women inferior again?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

No, that would be the damn Coldfags' fault. It is a well-know fact that some of the game designers are coldfags, and they can't stand the fact that some people prefer fire-based creatures and spells. You can see this in Morrowind, a game full of NPCs that have 75% resistance to fire - a clear attempt to make Fire look bad. It also explains how Bloodmoon and Skyrim got released. Women think they are discriminated against, but they know nothing about the Heatfags' plight.





...Anyway. Have some oldschool trolling. No big ass GIFs or quote chains, just good old one liners carefully crafted to get under the skin of the other person.

But in Bloodmoon heatfaggotry was preferable as pretty much no one and nothing was resistant.


Also, even in base game, fire works best on undead and undead are among the most frequent non-humanoid enemies.
Animals, daedra and animunculi generally seem to have no prefered damage source.

Finally, if cold>fire, doesn't it mean that heated passion and emotions (feminine) are painted inferior to (masculine) cool-headed reason and cold calcuation?

 

[circ]

But in some cultures it's the reverse and cold is femine and fire masculine. And in some cultures they have no gender assignments. THIS IS INSANE. AND SEXIST. CUT YOUR DICK OFF. PIG.

Haha yeah, but I think that would be too ridiculous even for The Border Hou--

Also, the Flame Atronachs are usually encountered first, meaning they’re a lower level that their male-bodied and gender-neutral counterparts – which I see as a problem.

Really?
