What is your opinion about new globes?
" " " Completely agree and its very clear to me why the UI was changed. It is also clear to me since the new community management/team took over it has all been based on hyper sensitivity and the need to make themselves look busy. The threats being thrown out by staff is mind blowing. Looks like Rachel was the one trolling and gas-lightning, I wouldn't put it past radical third wave feminists. Who mods the mods? I'm also very worried about my personal information and the safety of my account in the hands of these people. A lion and bunch of skulls? really? Give me Atlas and a warrior, forget the priestess and guardians of life and mana if that's what they want. Then we can hear them complain how they are not "represented" Last edited by RootCookie on Jul 14, 2015, 2:14:15 AM

why is this even a thing? it's a UI element. it doesn't affect your gameplay, or how you enjoy the game in any way. this is a petty, pathetic, first world, entitled thing.. and it shouldn't be a thing. [/quote] Eh there is so much wrong whit your statements i dont even know were to begin. The visuals of a game r and always have been a big part of the gameplay, dont get me wrong i dont think it is the most important thing but it still has a large influance on how you experience a game. AS for your second statement. R you kidding me how is this a petty first world entitled thing? Who is entitled here? I think you have no idee what that word means, but moving on. This is about censorship and having vieuws of other imposed upon on you, namely the sjw and femenist vieuws,cause there is no doubt in my mind that that was a factor in changing the ui. In the west there is freedom of speech and expresion that means if we wanna see tits in our game we should be free to do so no matter what others may think of that,and certainly their vieuw of how things should be should never be imposed upon you.(They r ofc free to protest against it in forums or other means), but never should their idiology be forced upon others. It's ok to be white

The new UI is so bland, generic and unoriginal, it could be used for any diablo clone, even one whith a joyful settings.
the old one was almost the trademark of the game, you can feel the vibes of poe just looking at it. If you give an inch to SJW they will take the whole galaxy and ask for more. Uninstalled IGN : Anal_ravage

I just don't see what a lion has anything to do with this game. Sure the "slave girls" prolly don't have much to do with the game either BUT the lion just seems WAY out of place.
The girls could seem sexist I am sure, but I wish they would have put a bit more effort into the new look...it really looks stupid. |

" If people see them as sexist that is their problem and prejudice. I did not see it as sexist. Is Atlas sexist? To me they are the same concept with different styles. What is wrong with saying that the ladies where carrying the burdens of life and mana, guarding and protecting from evil. A high priestess. How is that negative or sexist? The fact people see chains and a woman and see a slave is projection. Are you telling me people saw the ladies and where like, look at those slaves, being forced to carry your life and mana? Wow they let you die, clearly the fault of women. If so that is their problem, and is your projection. And do I really have to say sexuality is not sexism? It fits the lore and the genre; everything is about context, which people don't care about anymore as-long as they can make themselves feel better. This all boils down to the censorship of art, in the name of political correctness and feelings with no care or respect for context or true meaning. You know what, like I said before, give me an Atlas type holding up and pulling life and mana, topless, in chains. As far as I'm concerned women have lost out just because a few made others feel guilty. Last edited by RootCookie on Jul 14, 2015, 3:51:15 AM

" Chains = slave...is projection? No, I'm pretty sure that's just a basic ability to read symbols. (inb4 PETA) |

" Lets open our minds a bit shall we. What if I told you she made her own choice to chain herself to life and mana. To represent the burden and weight she carries with her all the time. What has that got to do with slavery? Again you removed context for no other reason but to make yourself feel better. I even set the scene and you chose to ignore it. All you have done is prove my point. Last edited by RootCookie on Jul 14, 2015, 3:34:57 AM

The game is chock full of themes of torture and suffering (that is part of its atmosphere and appeal), why are chained women such a big deal to some people? Some twisted sense of gender equality? Would it be a-ok if it was one woman and one man?

" I quoted the guy responding to you, not you, for a reason. You're merely encouraging table-flippers by spreading nonsense - specifically your post suggested that GGG weren't intending to provide UI options, when they've specifically said that they are. It's this kind of misinformation, together with a bit of trolling, that is fuelling the table-flippers. As for "I can't be responsible for the actions of others", well, you're on icy ground there, dude, both morally and, were this a serious situation, legally. If you encourage people to believe something that isn't true, that's on you. " No. What he's shown is that you have no respect whatsoever for views or interpretations that do not match you own precisely. As you said "I even set the scene and you chose to ignore it.". This is a perfect demonstration of how you think that, if you offer one interpretation, others should have to agree that it is the only valid interpretation, or at least a significant interpretation. But they don't. Your interpretation goes against the common-sense, Western-cultural interpretation. Chains in statuary mean slavery or imprisonment in the West, period. So it's nice that you have it, but it's not one anyone else needs to acknowledge or say is valid. If you don't understand that, you need to think about this a lot harder. " That's not the issue. They weren't a subject of great complaint or the like. GGG just felt that they needed updating. It was only after they were updated that the ol' MRA/anti-feminist crowd starting saying how oppressed they were by this change, and tried to make it about this. The truth is, GGG thought they could do better, so they changed the UI. They are going to add more options in future (likely including the old UI). So being upset about the change is pointless in the extreme. |
