It's one thing to Ubisoft, (or any company under capitalism) if it's just a small few fascist who are racist against their current character choices. But if Ubisoft is risking facing actual legislation in a major market, or a ban. They are going to respond, because they would loss a significant market. They don't want to lose an entire market where they can profit from.

In this case, it isn't really about minorities, is this a little authoritarian, possibly on Japans part, but really, Ubisoft needs this game to profit as best as possible, which is why it can't afford to lose a large market right now. With its low stocks of late, things aren't looking good for the company. They are at risk at being sold off at some point.

Some more specific sources on games representing marginalized identities. A continuation on that list of games I showed you.

Splatoon 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW4V3sVdigU Hair style is no longer decided by gender, unlike in earlier entries of the game.

Spyro 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1V8HZPPoaI Spyro represents ace vibes in one part of the ending cutscenes for the game. For a PS1 game particularly this is important. After seeing Mario saving Peach in another castle for how many so times.

I have a few things, along with specific examples.

1. There was a glad study on LGBTQ+ representation in games.

Studies indicate a significant presence of LGBTQ+ individuals within the gaming community. Notably, GLAAD's research, based on Nielsen surveys, highlights that a considerable percentage of active gamers identify as LGBTQ+. Specifically, the GLAAD report shows that 17% of active gamers are LGBTQ+.

2. There is LGBTQ+ representation in games you probably wouldn't expect.

a. In Splatoon 3 on the Nintendo Switch, you have your inkling and Octoling avatars, but they are not gender locked meaning you can have voices of the opposite gender, despite the hair style. Could also be looked at as representing feminism.

b. In a Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon, Spyro the dragon originally released on the PS1, shows some asexual aspects when hunter and bianca kiss in an ending cutscene. Ace vibes. Tells Sparx to look away,

3. Fan posts, allow marginialled queer and LGBTQ fans of a franchise to have their side represented, even if in an uncannon way. Very important for representation.

In one side, it seems like a win, on the other, Bluesky is capitalizing off of Meta hate?

Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

While their past behavior was inexcusable, not many people actually know about aromantic and asexual identities, when most people think of LGBTQ+ the default stereotype is trans, gay and bi people. People don't actually know that it extends beyond that, because of that stereotype.

I do give the op credit for opening up and talking about it, and moving on pass their past bad experience for a better future, which seemed to be their end goal here.

I agree with, the post op on this, because look. If a person identifying as one gender is cross dressing to look a certain way, they are not trans just from that because at the end of the day it is just cloths. Also where you say, "You don’t think about how you respond to people’s missteps" you seem to be broadly talking more than just simply cross dressing, but since you didn't say anything specific I won't judge you, but that is suspicious.

Ok, so as an aromantic person, (which is similar to Ace.) I got to say that Asexual and Aromantic people absolutely do fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.

In fact, in the "LGBTQIA" the a stands for asexual.

Not many people actually know the following. (all of it)

Here is how this works in practice. I think this could help you out with getting over the grudge, to help you better understand the entirety of the LGBTQ+ umbrella.

LGBTQ, isn't exclusive to just gay, and bi people, nor transpeople (they are included under that of course) Lgbtq has to do with, standards that are different from the normal, being straight, getting married as a straight couple, and all that.

asexual, particularly is a marginalized identity, because as a person that is that isn't attracted to a person sexually, that right there is a marginalized voice. People have been made fun of for not having a love one, i'm sure of it.

Straight people can technically fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella if they meet certain marginalized identities. If you don't believe me. A trans person, can technically identify as straight, based off their gender identity if they wanted to be straight. See but a trans person is still a marginalized person. The + in the LGBTQ means that the identity doesn't end there, it's always evolving.

But if you are straight in the traditional way, which asexual is *not the traditional straight identity, then you would not be marginalized.

edit: wanted to clarify that, just because someone *is asexual does not mean they will be straight. and an sexual person may still feel a bonding, or romantic attraction, but nothing sexual. Based on the identity meaning.

As long that you have all their accounts are blocked they shouldn't be able to harass you anymore unless they create more alts, which if they are doing this you're gonna probably have to keep blocking them as they come.

I don't know why they targeted your post over you talking about your experience, or personal perspective. While it seems like you're just going off of your perspective, or personal experience. They go onto your post dismissing your post and just trying to be better than you. Which is a toxic behavior. Especially if it is repetititve.

Now if it was a one time thing, maybe I would had said, well maybe they might not had meant anything but you showed a number of encounteres form this user.

Had you reporting all his accounts to the specific instance they are on? About their behavior toward you?

I dislike ai, but this is good, since it's not like you are locked into it with an account, like a wall garden.

I have a solution, don't relie on ai *for information? Wikipedia is better then Gemini for reliable answers on popular and more rare topics.

Not sure about Lemmy specifically, but on a similar federation platform, Mastodon blocking a user does prevent interaction. I'm assuming the same on Lemmy. If they do find a way to get through the block, whether through an alt or just dancing around the system, that might be some kind of stalking and harassment, since this post clearly states you don't want to be around them due to following you around. They know what they are doing.

I don't know the user personally, but I can tell from what you provided they are very aware. I would recommend to not feed them, or any other trolls, this is what feed the trolls, it's what they want.

I'm telling anyone that's listening,

the Fediverse, is the new forums. Any forum sites out their from the past, should join the Fediverse, it's the only way for them to stay relevant. Google isn't it anymore, you have to be on social media, or no one will know you exist. (not talking about those who may already know, but new potential users)

This be scary.

I know on your post you mentioned that you didn't know how to block them, if you go to their comment, and click the 3 dots you can block them there.

You'l want to adjust, brightness, contrast and gamma of your screen.

Assassin's Creed shadows has some beautiful looking environments.

Ai in email. But why?

While an ai can possibly understand basic text, perhaps all you need to do is use a fancy image filtering to throw of the ai. Someone should test this out.

Another way to look at the blahaj guidelines,

Not all laws are strictly like one way rules, hadn't you ever heard of vague laws op? I might be stretching it, but vague laws happen to act more like guidelines in practice. So even these government laws that you are using for your perceived benefit for your push of change, doesn't 100% align with your claims and what you are wanting from the mod team of this instance.

In most cases I know laws are more like rules, but vague laws do exist. What the mods are presenting are like vague laws. But really, most of it is really just common sense, just put two pieces to the puzzle together it's easy to avoid doing the wrong thing. Most of the puzzle is already in front of you, and then you just use some common sense thinking, and research.

With anything that isn't 100% definent, you need to look at the road before you cross, you need to read signs, you need to research what they are telling you is expected, as is written. This interpretation, that is open up is really just, a common sense view where they can just look at a given scenario and just moderate based on that.
