Don't have time to read all of that right now. On my way to work. I just wanted to say, kissing in games is so cringe worthy. The animations just aren't there. Games need to leave it out all together.

Stupid reason to get banned, but I don't really see any problems with TLOU2s narrative though. Didn't strike me as it had some kind of feminist agenda.

Well, that's the irony. I'm not saying they definitely had an agenda, just that it FELT like an agenda. That's why I highlighted it in the OP. The point I'm making is, in this current climate of so called 'toxic masculinity', a strong woman who kills men is going to go down very well with SJWs. Like I said though, It just FELT that way, and that is DUE to the current climate. Whilst I brought myself into the conversation, I was actually trying to point out that not everyone who had an issue with that scene, had an issue because of the kiss. The reason I did that is because the usual accusations of toxic masculinity, bigotry and homophobia comments were pouring in. I find that way of thinking unhelpful and unproductive. 

It's such a bad mirroring of those scenes, I absolutely convinced it isn't in the game and they just wanted to give us two types of demo. Neil is a much better writer than that. 

Did you see the kiss in question? That is the best animated kiss I've ever seen. 

I personally never like when people go complain about a forum on another forum.The way I see it, VGC isnt the place to complain about places like Resetera or Neogaf.

Having said that, your question have an esy answer:For all the "transparecy" that Resetera wants you to believe they have, and that they will become better than Neogaf, they are just as bad as them.The mods fell entitled due to the powers given to them and force their opinion on others, or at the very least foster a place where they only have people that think about them and thats what they mostly care about.And that simply wont change.

Is VGC the official forum to discuss ResetEra bans now?

It seems so but from what I understand that's going to be a lot of extra traffic for vgchartz so not a bad thing right !

Mine is just an example to ask a much broader question. How people choose to engage with the topic leads the conversation. 

I like this thread. So there is more traffic for ya.
