Nobody tell them about my Ocarina of Time playthrough wherein I hold the controller upside down and backwards aka The Retard Run.

Everyone, let’s call for Twitch to change their name, it refers to people with disabilities such as Epilepsy

I'm all for accessibility, but this is fucking ridiculous. Stop treating disabled people as tragic imbeciles who can't cope with the real world.
Taken from Eurogamer:
'Twitch removes "blind playthrough" tag following criticism from gamers with disabilities.'

This reddit post sums up the problem with this fully. Twitch are hypocrites, and don't give a fuck about actual disability issues what so ever. Fuck Twitch and fuck SJW bullshit for side lining actual issues that do exist in the disability community for SJW privilege points.
This reminds me of those sad fuckers that wanted scientists to stop calling black holes black holes because it presents blackness in a negative light. Which I thought was funny given that even light can't escape black holes. Lol.

You jest (I think!) but I actually heard of a company banning the term "all hands" because it wasn't inclusive
. Not that there was anyone in the company missing a hand, but you can never be too woke in 2020 corporate America, it seems.

Well that company need to start banning sign language interpreters because the use of hands to communicate to the deaf is offensive to those who lost their arms.

Oh it's coming dude....
I'll see myself out with that one....
I'm sick of these SJWs pushing their agendas not just on social media but also using video games as a platform to broadcast their agenda it's absolutely sickening... Give me strength.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
The only porn there will be left is a white man either getting slammed in the ass by black(s) or trannies.
Everything else if offensive.

You sure as fuck have a lot of hate and vitriol towards a wheelchair bound guy who can't even breathe without a hose.
Do I think the change is a bit silly? Sure, personally. Is a single person harmed by changing it from "blind playthrough" to "first play through"? No. Stop getting so enraged about a change that doesn't negatively impact a single human being.

His opinion about Soulborne game's difficulty was the tipping point for me.
I'm amazed that for all the kudos he gets for overcoming adversity, he completely misses the point that these games are designed to give players that exact feeling when they beat the boss. The design of the game IS its difficulty, it's fundamental to the feeling Miyazaki has said he wants to create. It's like people just want to run through these games swinging, zero deaths, zero edge of seat suspense. Are hard games, even if it was a design decision, now off-limits for the sake of accessibility? Apparently so, otherwise it's catering to 'hate'!

They will go full circle and ban abortion, becoming the thing which they despise most: a conservative.

I get why people are mad, but words and phrases have always changed throughout different time periods. You gotta be pretty soft to get angry at something like this.

How soft do you have to be to be fucking offended by the word 'blind'?

And that isn’t even an accurate label as you can play a first play through with a guide.

It’s not about being soft, it’s about showing the world what a wonderful person I am because I care so much about all other people. If you have a different opinion than me you are a hateful nazi who needs to be cancelled and fired.

To be honest, when I first heard the term "blind playtrough", I actually thought that people would play the game blindfolded.

The thread seems like an Onion article. It’s the sort of thing they wish they came up with, but as usual real life manages to come up with something more ridiculous than they can.
That is something people do, GDQ sometimes do blindfolded runs live. It’s crazy to know a game that well.

I wonder if they censored Deer Hunter from twitch once that moderator was hired.
I find it so odd that especially on gaming scene the people in charge are getting weirder and weirder. Or atleast they seem to be the ones that are listened on how things should me moderated.

The world is turning into a caricature of what once was considered sci-fi...

But it's important to remember that in the world of this novel, the suppression of books began as self-censorship. People didn't stop reading books because a tyrannical government forced them to stop. They stopped reading books gradually over time as the culture around them grew faster, shallower, intellectually blander, and centered around minor thrills and instant gratification.
Another factor that contributes to the growth of censorship in Fahrenheit 451 are minorities and what we might call "special interest groups." In order not to offend every imaginable group and sub-group—whether organized around ethnicity, religion, profession, geography, or affinity—every trace of controversy slowly vanished from public discourse, and magazines became "a nice blend of vanilla tapioca."
