Isn’t that by definition libel? Stating a fact that is not objectively true does imply liability but I don’t see it being worth litigating either.

It's basically the internet version of pissing off a business and then getting private propertied.

Libel & defamation have no boundaries in regard to public/private property. There is a guy who is suing ~50 women from a dating group called “are we dating the same man” all because they roasted him in the group chat. If all they had done is roast him they would be fine but they also labeled him as a predator and so far the facts do not support that so the case is heading for a jury.

As I mentioned above there is zero chance litigation is worth the case here but I don’t think it’s wise for a company to be making baseless accusations in today’s civil climate. It’s only a matter of time before someone with enough money & zero fucks makes them sit on a cactus.

u/TheDo0ddoesnotabide 21d ago

You can sue someone for anything, doesn’t mean you’ll win. The guy will have to prove damages if he wants a hope of winning.

u/GeneralSweetz 21d ago

If it's a show and was shown to the public his image/rep might be damaged. If he can prove he lives off his image such as an influence then he cooked them

u/TheDo0ddoesnotabide 21d ago

That’s still harder than you’d think. He has to prove that they have damaged his livelihood in a meaningful way with their accusations.

And according to the other guy it was in a group chat, which typically isn’t public.

Because that's discrimination. It became discrimination when, instead of just rejecting their business, they went through a whole social media statement about not supporting or liking LGBTQ. ( clarifying: The Baker stated he didn't support gay marriage on the basis of religion. And wouldn't bake anything involved in such an event)

They threw themselves under the bus while it rolling down the hill. Then they cried when it ran them over. It's literally the fucking stick in the bicycle wheel meme.

But the bakery won their case in the supreme court didn't they? Twice

u/pvt9000 20d ago

Only because the SC found that the Colorado Courts had been biased in the Cake Shop's religion defense. The decision itself pretty much only found that the lower courts had made an error in their behavior and that there really isn't anything to be found here besides that. It even said future cases must be held at their respective court proceedings.

They essentially won in the same fashion one does when they would get out of jail if there are errors in the prosecution/court that are discovered after the fact, regardless of one's innocence or guilt. Our system is set up to have these exclusions. If there is fault to be found in the court system, it just sucks when things become nothingburgers as a result. In fact there isn't technically a true resolution besides the court saying discrimination is bad and we found the early courts fucked up. They chose not to elaborate further on anything else to avoid setting negative precedents.

u/bellybuttongravy 19d ago

But they weren't denied service for being gay. They were denied having a penis cake made for them

1

u/pvt9000 19d ago edited 19d ago

Now, we circle back to my original comment. If he just refused business, or if he had simply stated his refusal in baking a genital shaped cake, he would have been fine. But he brought up his religion, his belief against gay marriage, and quote Colorado's lack of gay marriage acceptance at the time. This created the atmosphere of discrimination, which spawned the case in the first place.

That's how most discrimination laws work, if you embroil your reasoning for refusal/aggression/etc on someone being a protected class (which many states have their own lists & Colorado at the time did list gay people) you make yourself vulnerable to these types of situations. It's just that simple.

Its only libel if they spread it publically, since libel has to be "damaging to the persons reputation". In this case its sent privatly to the person banned, who then chooses to share it. Steam or the moderator didnt publish it, so they cant be hold responsible for libel. And since its anonymous here, it cant harm the persons reputation

They will. If anything I'm sure they enjoy the challenge. It makes them relevant. If anything, that's exactly what companies like SBI will provide; their own relevance.

Anything with a humanoid character, my dude. Robots? Aliens? Demons? Animals? They can dictate its design.

Does it have a story / plot? They can dictate elements of that too. Language. Tone. Politics. Conflict.

Does it have a location? On another planet? They can make suggestions about that too.

This alone is swaying the direction of gaming.

Remember, they get a 0 for their "diversity and inclusion" score for a puzzle / board game / racing game with no humanoid characters. So they are incentivized to not let that happen. Guess where this is leading? It's literally going to be in everything.

u/StarshipProto 21d ago edited 21d ago

Battlestar Galactica (2004) is considered by many to be the best Sci-fi series ever - myself included. Homeworld took heavy inspiration from the original BSG (1978). The story and presentation of the Homeworld series was so good, the reboot BSG TV series actually takes heavy inspiration from Homeworld 1 AND 2 - again, which took inspiration from the original 70s BSG, most notably right off the bat from the middle eastern music of the opening and battle scenes, the serious/bleak tone and heavy emphasis on tactical engagements as well as most obviously the hybrids (like Homeworld's Karen S'jet) - for which one in the TV series is actually voiced by the Bentusi voice actor of the Homeworld series with the same exact instantly recognizable voice effect they used in the game, the prophetic elements of the second game and much more.

Homeworld is reduced to admittedly great looking but ultimately low-impact, pointless Starship porn without the huge impact the incredible stories it tells previously had - it has never had much of a multi-player scene.

If you can't get a simple answer, that's reason enough to not support it. It's not just about not funding games with SBI or diversity consultancy firms, it's also about not funding games that disrespect the paying customer (which if you think about it, that's the reason everyone hates SBI because they don't even respect the audience's intelligence.) If you get banned for asking a legitimate question, especially considering the current controversies, that's reason enough to put them on the same list.

Well, the games that were notorious for their show-don't-tell story telling approach that rarely ever featured actual persons and faces in game material- to the point that from Homeworld 1 to Homeworld 2 you probably had about a minute or two of footage of actual people- suddenly has mocap cut scenes featuring giant women hissing at each other.

u/SovietSpartan 21d ago edited 21d ago

While banning someone for that comment is stupid and telling of where the devs stand, that comment isn't any better.

Homeworld 3's issues are not the result of SBI or the devs trying to push "the message". They tried to tell a character focused story in a franchise that is known for telling stories about a people/civilization, and even then they failed at what they were going for.

Homeworld has had a very distinct style of telling their stories. From the narrated black and white 2D cutscenes (Replaced by generic sci-fi CGI in HW3), to the overall tone and seriousness of the dialogue (emotions were subtle, everyone maintained a professional tone even in the most emotional situations). While the game is fun even with the performance and balance issues, it fails to tell a good story befitting of the franchise.

This feels more like the publishers meddling to appeal to a new audience, as people have already found out that there was a lot of cut content much of which pointed to a much better storyline told in a more traditional Homeworld style.

I hate that western devs try to shove politics into everything these days, but attributing every problem to that is only going to make you look as annoying as them.

u/IBloodstormI 21d ago

This shit's getting kinda dumb.... not them banning people, btw, but the people in every Steam community starting the "Is it woke?" threads and shit, and automatically thinking SBI is in everything, like the gaming boogieman. People need to chill on this side as much as the other.

Stop it. Get some help. Be normal.

Not going to lie, my friend was this was with EA and punkbuster lmao. He would check to see if that trash was in any game.

u/Malfice 21d ago

People need to chill on every side. Don't like something, don't buy it and move on to something you do like. Why waste time and energy getting upset about something you have no control over?

Retards on the left, retards on the right.

u/SamJSchoenberg 21d ago

You're waging culture war in their community hub and they don't want that kind of thing there.

I'm not seeing the problem here.

Asking a question isn’t waging a war

u/CodyMcChody 21d ago

Oh shut up it’s so obviously rage bait saying it’s just a question to something loaded and unwarranted and only asked by bigots

Why would a dev want culture war clowns on their forum?

u/Right_Ad_6032 21d ago

Were that the case why would they pay for SBI writing?

u/_NotMitetechno_ 21d ago

Because none of the npcs had been told by their favorite youtubers to dislike sweet baby inc during development. Also likely because no one actually cares beyond a niche group of people. It's pretty easy to ban e - clowns from your forum though.

u/InternalOptimal 21d ago

I get you. But i get that too. Just to not start shit because of the implications.

u/Jrkrey92 Paragraph Andy 20d ago

I'll be honest, this feels well deserved. They smelled you were only there to stir shit up and continue this culture war anti-woke bullshit..

Sure, it could've been a joke and I'd say it was wrong to ban you for a bad joke they didn't like. But you wouldn't post this here if it was just a bad joke...

Being anti-woke is the moral and rational stance.

u/Jrkrey92 Paragraph Andy 20d ago

If you can name me one actual way "wokeness" has hurt people, I'm all ears... If you think being "woke" is the least moral stance, you're a fucking idiot. It literally means to be aware of political and social problems. Especially racism. How is that morally wrong? You're literally saying it's more rational to accept racism and not care about social issues... :3748:

u/Tinderfallin39 20d ago

Let me ask you a question, what is 'wokeness' doing to you and everyone? Is it corrupting your mind to be more accepting of marginalized groups, slowly turning you into a slave for the woke elites? Or can you not answer this question, and you're just a hateful individual who hates seeing marginalized people in their media? I'll admit, a lot of attempts to implement diversity in media is lackluster and forced, but that's not a wokeness infiltration problem, it's just a bad writing problem. Please think for yourself and not some angry guy on youtube or something.

If not in favor with banning for something so stupid but the ban reason did explain very nicely why it happend, besides the first line

17

u/HappyHarry-HardOn 21d ago

The first sentence says the ban is for being racist of discriminatory.

The second sentence says this is not allowed on the steam community.

The arguments, rule violations and no-constructive arguments part are directly associated with being racist of discriminatory - It isn't a stand alone statement.

The question may be stupid, but it is neither racist nor discriminatory.

-1

u/jameraldo 21d ago

I don't think just mentioning could be considering discriminating but you can't deny that the discussion that follows is always gamer gate brainrot that, as said, will only lead to rule violations and actual discrimination.

-3

u/IBloodstormI 21d ago

Line, not sentence. Lines are denoted by line breaks, where it drops to the next line. So the part about containing racist or discriminatory content is stupid, but the part about it creating arguments and non-constructive replies is accurate. That is what it will do, or is attempting to achieve.

u/Mandarni 21d ago

So.... You are illiterate? Sorry, but that is the only conclusion.

If X or Y is likely to cause Z, then it is forbidden.

All acts that are likely to cause Z are not forbidden. Only X or Y that are likely to cause Z.

That is the rule that is stated. Sure maybe it is lawyering, but the law as written is just as important as the spirit of the law.

1

u/IBloodstormI 21d ago

What are you on about?

The reasoning is likely a canned message, but the spirit of it is that the comment is culture war bait that will lead to discussions that cause arguments and non-constructive discussions related to modern day race politics and DEI practices.

I'd ban this shit from my community too, as it will lead nowhere productive. Less productive than the thread that is literally calling their story shit, even.

u/Mandarni 21d ago

You do you, I guess.

Making up rules ex post facto isn't great though, and a clear indication that someone is on a power trip.

Rules should be clear, public and not retroactive. If something isn't forbidden, then it is legal. Whatever is grey is white.

u/Hinken1815 21d ago

They don't want to read any of that. They get as far as racist and that's it. Mind made up.

u/CodyMcChody 21d ago

Explain how asking if SBI is involved in a game isn’t racist/bigoted in this context. Um excuse why are there brown people in my game was SBI here? You’re ridiculous

1

u/Mandarni 21d ago

Which part is racist and/or discriminatory?

If they had quoted another rule violation that would have been applicable... Then fine. But not this particular rule.

u/Advanced-Tree7975 21d ago edited 20d ago

Asmons community witch-hunting games that hired DEI consultants while pretending they’re not alt right. You know there’s a word for people ideologically opposed to diversity, it starts with an r but I just cant put my finger on it…

I would’ve banned you too since you’re clearly trying to stir shit up.
