#BoycottBorderlands3 trending, Alleged Controversy targetting YouTuber

Sure they can, but again they cant really punish people for not doing it lol.

In their forums, they absolutely can. It's their forums and you agree to play by their rules.

Elsewhere, you're right! Which is why I don't get the "drama" over this.

Android

data maybe be an advanced android that is unique ,since he is capable of autonomous thought and actions (a.i) but still resembles a man therefore he can be considered a male

but by using your own logic fl4k should also be considered a male since he resembles one and talks like one ,so it can indentify as a he



so you are wrong

So some internet nobody is in trouble in conjunction with a trash game series?

Fascinating.

[Ulteir]

Let's boycott for the right reasons, you know...the whole pedo thing.

It's faux, and makes people with little going on in their lives feel big and possibly important.

Thats not the point.

That is, entirely the point. This is a made up world. Does french, spanish, portuguese, or italian exist in Borderlands? That's a failure of localization. You're also assuming that just because the language assigns a gender, that people assign the same socio-sexual gender to it. Regardless, it does not change what the creators intended. It does not change how they discipline people on an English speaking forum. While something may get lost in translation, an English post on an English forum quoting an English designer is not.

You mean believing in imaginary things as robot genders.

Once upon a time, robots were imaginary things. So were cellphones, space travel, and many other technologies. I fully expect sentient AI to be an inevitability, as well as the digitization of consciousness.

I guess you don't read or watch any fiction, because it isn't real. If you don't even play Borderlands, why do you care?

Sentient a.i is something we won't see for hundreds of years.

Till then all robots are simply tools.then again I'm not the one here trying to give a gender to a machine,a non living thing.

Thats a good boy.

You're trying to insinuate I'm a blind dog or whatever, but why the fuck would I care about some pissant you-tuber to the point it makes me boycot the game? Grow up kid.

How about boycotting SupMatto and tons of other so called "content" "creators".

Oof. See we have a defender of the AAA industry. How lovely to see.

The AAA will never fix itself because of blind fanboys who don't give a shit about how they are treated. Congratulations to the herd, the billionaires thank you for lining their pockets while they continue to spit in your face.

Oof. See we have one of the people who paid SupMatto for those leaks he was selling.

Cute, but I didn't even know who he was until this shit came up. I listen to bigger voices in the industry like Jim Sterling, Yong Yea and the like.
