ResetEra bans all promotion and discussion of the game

This is seriously getting out of hand IMO.

The decision makes complete sense. Look at these forums. Valve mods are working overtime banning people who can't help but discuss their politics while discussing the game. If you want to forgo all that nonsense you just can't have this sub forum period. The two are inseparable.

Their reasoning was that they don't like the author of the books and they will ban anyone talking about their decision on that forum, that's enough for people to know what kind of mods run that place.

If they said that the discussion devolved into throwing insults at eachother or they were non productive I would understand and agree, however that's not the case.

Their statement is awful too. Accusing someone of using fame and fortune to push transphobia. Absolute rubbish and if I was JK I'd be taking libel action.

HP stuff does not need promotion through some echo chamber sites. PR already is on fire. Positive or Negative.. doesnt really matter at all. Also. I never have seen someone mention resertera as some nice place to spend time on.

If your topic is inherently controversial, like 100% of the time, you might as well just get rid of it.

Edit: I mean too the point where moderators will always have to step in. ResetEra is left wing, but not all lefties are for or against the game. So it'll just be full of lefties who are for or against the game arguing with one another.

They DID NOT ban because of discussions, they banned because THEY hate Rowling

To be fair, mods have a lot of help from folks like me. Why engage with barely literate attention craving losers when you can just report their thread and watch it go black?

I've never even read resetera, so no loss there I guess.

Not really surprising, ResetERA is full of extremists. Can't think of a single reason why not one would respect these people irl...

Before PC gamer closed the comments, one of "those" people accused people of supporting genocide if they bought the game.

I think that's their choice if things go both ways, eh?

This is why we can't have nights of well-mannered frivolity on our forums.

Why they're saying it and why they're doing it are two different things. Like I said in my edit. ResetEra is left wing. But most large lefties aren't pro boycott towards the game. Hasan is specifically against the notion of a boycott, and he's one of the largest lefties on the internet.

If this has an impact on her reputation and business model, she definitively could. I have read all those tweets she made that lead to this path, and i can not see anything there that warrants reactions like this, it's blown completely out of proportions.
