Twilights_Bard Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I think it's pretty funny myself. Don't remove it because of special snowflakes that look for stuff to be offended by and think the world revolves around them. They're purposely twisting this to make it look one way.
Avinin Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I made this account just to have my say here. Please, please do not give in and censor your game in any way. Do not give in to the perpetually offended at everything. This person is a narrowminded sociopath that should in no way affect your game or its community in any way.
Nixl Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I hope they do not remove it. It's not that the text is great, but I dislike removal/censorship like this. If Obsidian removes it, I hope they refund any money given by the backer for that reward tier.
licketysplit Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 And as usual, the person being offended is a hypocrite and a lunatic. https://archive.today/rJTjG https://archive.today/Symxm https://archive.today/GaUcF https://archive.today/56XGn https://archive.today/NviKC I wonder, will Obsidian choose to pander to these extremists over their core customers? It would send a very dour message indeed if they favor the likes of this nutjob over someone, who in good will, backed the company. If I was funding a KS game, I'd keep all backer participation out, just so its the creator's intent these people have to question. Obsidian has an easy out since they didn't write the joke. 1
petdev Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I have registered and created an account just to say: keep the dialogue in the game. Many good arguments have been made in this post and on twitter. Keep it and defend your creation, Obsidian.
Sight Unseen Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Don't cave to pressure Obsidian!!!! These people are NOT your audience. your backers will stand by you if you stick with it. Don't let the tumbrinas and feminazis bully you into censoring your game (even backer created content) over then getting butthurt over a joke. Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.- Tyrion Lannister The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. -Eddard Stark
Darji Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah Obsidian should never give in into these nut jobs who get offended even by the weather.... 1. It is a mature game 2. It was already approved by the team and should not be censored at any costs.
hollowcrown Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 1. It's not transphobic. It's not offensive at all. It's fiction. The mental gymnastics required to actually take offense at this are quite astonishing. Please don't pander to these people who get offended easily at everything. 2. If Obsidian takes it out of the game, I expect the backer who pledged for this reward to be fully refunded for the money they backed to Project Eternity.
