His campaign was indeed that, but he's going to learn very quickly that if he wants to bring that shit into his governance, it's not going to fly and he's not going to get anywhere with it.
Excellent suggestion that most companies sadly ignore already.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.
leftist politics, labor solidarity, supporting people trying to build alternate economies outside the mainstream systems
this and more built around and led by a core of people who have been left out and marginalized, i.e. women and minorities
don't buy watch dogs 2 with its pathetic vague middle finger directed at trump. everything about its production, sale, and profit enables the system that gave us trump. buy shit off of itch.io made by people who won't have an option for health insurance in 6 months, subscribe to patreons supporting people who might be homeless without it, give money directly to journalists who ask important questions and frame things in the political contexts that matter instead of whitelisting monster energy ads so gamespot can get half a penny when you go to their site to find out which special edition of final fantasy 15 you need to buy to get the best outfits for your waifu.
I'm sorry that people feel they don't want this thread here on the Gaming side, but I made it because the initiatives by game writers and developers who have already come out and made a statement. E.g. Fullbright are LGBTQ supporters and are very much affected by the election results, they made their game free for all. Isn't that thread-worthy in itself?
The people who make the games you love will be affected by the coming administration. The people in your neighborhood, city, county, state, country and world are affected by this. We cannot ignore it.

Many suggestions that I already completely agree with (and make me laugh). Is it cool if I put it in OP?
It still makes me depressed that this is not exclusive to games and also relates to transportation, food, infrastructure, advertising, TV, phones, computers, consoles, and so many other facets of our lives.
The space president in the next Mass Effect says that all vorcha are criminals and wants batarians on a terrorism registry. His supporters claim he just wants to make the galaxy great again.
Will I get renegade points if I support him? I mean his opponent did leave Spectres to die at the Asari embassy...

Mods help us!
If they didn't vote for those reasons for Trump then it is just sheer ignorance. Regardless games and games writer should hold a mirror to what is happening in the world and hopefully change people's mind that feel that extreme conservatism is a rational path for our world.

The only whining I'll do is that your post should have ended with this gif:
This comic is on point. So fucking sick of this bullshit telling people to stop fighting back.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,
yeah the other republicans who control congress did a bang-up job of standing up to trump and his cronies over the last 18 months. mitch mcconnell and paul ryan will be defying him at every turn!
So is there a reason so many ppl willingly thread shit even though previous topics like these usually end up being graveyards precisely because of that?
You'd think ppl would learn but they just keep doing it.

You know we can see your edits, right?I guess Watchdogs 2 isn't enough.

What legislation has he passed in the last 18 months? He ran a populist campaign and it worked with the people. That's not how you do things once you're in office. Campaigning and governance are two very different things. If you think he's going to be able to pass a bill to deport tens of millions of illegal immigrants from the US, I got a piece of land I want to sell to you.
My inclination is that art is a useful outlet for catharsis and morale but rarely as an act of politics per se. Of course art is political, naturally, but in terms of connecting art to formal acts of politics to changes in outcomes, no, I don't think so. The representation debate is so potent for me precisely because it is not about formal politics, it's about individual engagement with work and how people feel about themselves. I think art matters for how we consider ourselves in the world. Also, it's not to say that there isn't value in telling personal stories even if they are politically inert. If (let's be honest: when) DACA ends, I think there is value in telling journalistic or artistic takes on the undocumented and young. I just don't think such takes prevent deportation.
I feel the same way about, say, moral boycotts of companies. If you don't want conflict diamonds, don't buy them. If you want to buy union-made clothes, do so. If you want to avoid homophobic donations, don't eat Chic-fil-A, etc. But I think you have to do those things based on your own conscience, rather than the belief that that change will actually ripple through formal politics. The latter is unlikely and counterproductive.
Jonas Kyratzes (The Sea Will Claim Everything, Talos Principle)--who if memory serves me correctly is Greek and socialist and politically active--wrote about this yesterday:
http://www.jonas-kyratzes.net/2016/11/12/art-is-not-politics/
Here's a one-tweet summary of it:
I think his angle is more revolutionary than mine, in the sense that he seems to be refuting the idea that art is enough and angry that people want to mobilize through art rather than through formal organization and participation in the process. I think people gain great value in mobilizing through art, not because it affects change, but because it helps them cope with the situation they find themselves in.
But I think if you want to resist politics you disagree with, the best way to do so is through formal politics. Take back city councils, state houses, governorships, the house, and senate, work on ballot initiatives, organize a union, etc.
Because theres no sense in having an account here any longer when even left-leaning posters are banned for wanting others to come come to their sense and stop the hyperbole.
Problem is that this has nothing to do with politics but breaking the TOS. Shit-posting/ thread whining is not allowed. No matter what kotakuinaction says.Because theres no sense in having an account here any longer when even left-leaning posters are banned for wanting others to come come to their sense and stop the hyperbole.
It doesn't matter what their views are. It is a discussion that people should be having. People who have been banned had no interest in the topic and chose to ignore it and demanded it to be shut down. Not only is it against the rules to post about it being shut down (instead of PMing a mod) it doesn't create a healthy discussion of the topic.So is anyone who comments on the extremely inflammatory and exaggerated post of OP getting banned? I wonder what political views the mods hold...

Off topic is a mess of "Trump death squads" and all other kinds of posts which would have been ridiculed off this forum. If you do that now, you're banned.
People have been fighting for Diversity since before Trump was president and will continue to do so once he's out of office and although i welcome and continue yelling at the top of my lungs we need more diversity in games. Having diversity isn't a push back towards Trump that's just called progress, progress that the industry has been lacking for over 30 fucking years.Diversity
Diversity

By continuing to embrace diversity and striving for inclusiveness.
Like E.T. says, "Be...Good"
What hyperbole though? People have recently experienced hate due to recent events and game companies need to make sure that their (online) communities don't see a rise in this form of hate or else their communities will go down in number.
