Again, topic title is fairly clear. Feel free not to click on it if you don't care. Posting in a thread just to state that you don't think said thread should exist is threadshitting 101.

These conversations would always do better if we worked to change minds through debate rather than name calling and that goes for both sides.
Some people will never agree, but if you can change one mind rather than push them away, it's worth it.

I think humour always works well in political satire in stuff like simpsons and southpark.
Trump would be a cool character in a southpark game where they can really go to town.
Personally I think he is allot of hot air especially viewing the election from the UK (crazy), lets see what the man does with actual power and then I will judge him on his actions.

The only one I've seen the poster got banned for: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=223745679#post223745679
One of my hopes is that the advancement of voice recognition technology in stuff like Siri and Google Assistant will eventually allow services to ban users if it recognizes hate speech or other such nonsense. At the moment all of the popular services still have to be manually moderated I believe?
I think we all know the answer. A sequel to Metal Wolf Chaos by From Software where ex President Obama fights to take back the White House and America but this time teams up with Mecha Sanders power by Socialism to take down Uberfuhrer Trump and his cabinet of GOP cyborgs and mutants.

How is pushing back against fascism undermining the results of a democratic election? Being neutral in the face of oppression means we side with the oppressors.
Also,
People should be more careful with the use of the word 'fascism'. I don't think that most people even know what it means.
And showing a cartoon doesn't make it true.

Still waiting for a source on that "looting and rioting and burning", smart guy.

Unfortunately the rest can dance dangerously close to saying the same yet get away with it because they claim to be liberal.
Can this shit get shut down already?
Yeah, that is a pretty interesting idea. Games are good at involving players doing what the system tells you and one might argue that if designed properly and carefully, this could provide an experience that make the player reflect on acts of complicity and escalation of violence.
Serious answer?
Xbox Live held a voting hub app last gen that got awareness out to people who otherwise might not have bothered to read about the election, it's candidates, or their policies.

Should have done that again

Get lost if you don't like it.
Yes but that does not matter in the democratic system that USA is using. Everyone was under the same rules.
if you have an issue with moderation i'm pretty sure you take that up with them in a PM

Politics have always been intertwined with gaming. You are supporter of this medium and thus should care about thousands of creators that will be impacted by threats against them and their families in this new administration. Extreme conservatism will creep and shape all sorts of mediums in the next years and that is noteworthy.

He is a market man. If being a fascist was opportunistic for him to win, he exceled at that.
Ps. I hate him.

Where are the mods when we need them?
Hate to break it to you but Trump isn't even in office yet. That's why this thread should be closed. You're calling him a fascist yet he hasn't even become president yet.

I'm not sure what this is in reference to but tr*mp's rhetoric was literally both of those things. Literally textbook definition.

Anyway, it's always funny that there are people stumbling over themselves to explain why 10% less breast on the western cover of a Japanese game is destroying games as an art form yet refuse to interface with the concept that games, as art, can be political.
I like this.
I dislike Trump. I also dislike forced attempts to shoehorn these discussions into a gaming context. Convoluted attempts to link a particular community to politics are also happening on enthusiast forums for other hobbies of mine as well.
Judging by the bans in the first few replies, my account will have a similar fate for straying from the popular GAF narrative.
Here's what the video game industry can do: Keep making games.

I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone here but politics are involved in most aspects of your life whether you it to or not. So I don't a reason why a thread like this shouldn't exist here.

I think the industry needs to push back against shit like Gamergate before they can even hope to deal with Trump.
i for one am definitely counting on amoral capitalists to sell me some mindless pop punk games that will make me feel better about living under an authoritarian
just don't tell me about their soul crushing labor conditions or homogeneous internal culture please, it might sully my immersion

Since when was being in office a prerequisite for being a fascist?
"Oh hey. Where are the mods?"
Maybe PM them instead of spamming this thread with this. Btw, mods have already seen this and it's not getting closed because it is related to games, so there's no point. If you don't want to be involved in the topic than don't click on it like the majority of GAF.

Banning for thread shitting and derailing the thread by talking about how the topic shouldn't be a thread is bannable under many topics. There are ways to contact mods about the thread without derailing it, and it doesn't mean they'll agree with you.
So in terms of consoles I think there should be functionality tied in with the report functionality.
Consoles have the ability to record now so when someone is hurling racist, sexist, homophobic etc abuse, have the functionality to report with video/audio.
That with practice be support staff should foster a better community. If there's a a chance of reprisal then bad people are more likely to follow the rules.

Every action follows a reaction.
By playing an active part in it, games can provoke empathy better than any form of media. Maybe instead of pushing an agenda down everyones throat, no matter how important or morally good you think it is, try the opposite. Try to understand those who look at the world differently instead of damning everything to hell you don't agree with at first glance.
I hope games as an art form stand tall and explore it all, the great as well as the deplorable facettes of human nature. We'd all be better off if we weren't so entranched in our particular believes.
