Sony bans David Jaffe (created of God of War, Twisted Metal) from PSN, for hate speech

Yes, David Jaffe appears to have suspended from PSN for posting racist and/or homophobic hate speech, from Ratchet and Clank captures. Oh how embarrassing. And not for him, for Sony. I mean, if you actually see what it was that prompted the bans... well, you decide:

I especially love the part where he says "Go ahead and suspend my account, what do I care, I'll go play Game Pass" 🤣

What did he say? Not gonna watch that vid.

He's always been outspoken and a little jarring at times. I won't bother watching the video but being banned for hate speech is pretty dumb. I'm sick to death of woke culture. It's a cancer.

Sounds like an overreach that will get resolved. I was expecting something juicier 🥤.

Yeah I saw that the other day. Kind of funny all things considered.

Can't stand woke cancel culture. Saying that as a Black male. Media and tech companies are borderline fascist. No one can take a joke anymore.

The cancel culture is the best new real life feature we've ever had. People complaining about it are just worried of being cancelled because they're very toxic. David was toxic, and got cancelled. There's nothing wrong with that.

I always find it interesting that this view of cancel culture is always viewed from one angle despite the reality that it is from many angles.

@hardwenzen: You're part of the problem and you won't realize it until they've canceled you.

He's trying to larp Gabe Newell.

Disagree. I can't be cancelled because i praise the cancel culture.

Had to look pretty hard for this. Hardly made a blip on the internet at all. Saw more stuff about his beef with PatStaresAt over crunch than this, such was its insignificance.

Also... *squints at top of screen* Is this "System Wars" or "Internet Drama Wars?"

Move along, nothing to see here.

So what exactly did he say to start all of this?

He made a joke, saying "lombax is a lesbian" ! How awful to use such terrible language!

I mean, damn, some people are so sensitive that you can't say the word "lesbian" ? This shit keeps up from Soyny that a lot of innocent people are going to lose their damn digital purchases.

This goes back to what I said before: This new Sony must be a bunch of new people who are leading the progressive charge. Yehaw!

Just by physical until this pc bs is toned back down.

Sony is so stupid. Can’t believe they would suspend him just for that.

Cancel culture sponsored and brought to you by the kids that never got picked for dodgeball.

US American woke culture is ruining everything.

Bruh it was all about kickball

Yeah, they didn't get picked for that either.

@shadyacshuns: That's it...wtf?!? That wouldn't have even gotten somebody's attention back during MW2 days. I really wish we could transport these new pansy ass woke crybabies back to the golden years of CoD/Halo/etc and watch their brains literally explode.

@vfighter:

Anyone hear the story about the FNF creator getting cancelled for something very trivial recently?

He didn't play the victim and the situation is sorted. That's what I always say, don't be a drama queen and "cancel culture" can't touch you. Just at look at Druckmann, didn't played the victim, stood by his vision and all those trying to cancel him now wear clown shoes.

Yea, he tends to ramble a lot.

Hate speech. Bunch of redonkulous snowflake bs. :P

Not sure how this is System Wars related.

Probably some outsourced contractual employee in third world country who doesn't have enough time to read the whole conversation or can comprehend what he says saw the word and press the button. Welcome to unchecked capitalism that tries to cut down the cost as much as it can.

@palasta: The Europeans are following the Americans in cancel culture. Remember Pier Morgan, the former co-host of Good Morning Britain on what he said about the bi-racial wife of Prince Harry?

People genuinely believe "cancel culture" is a new thing. Come on folks, embrace the history humankind.

People are scraping the bottom of the barrel these days...

There is no such thing as a woke culture. There is idiots' culture though who do not understand that the world is constantly changing, becoming more tolerant and adaptable to the more diverse population, and those idiots just refuse to change along, sticking to their old biased views, speeches and opinions, which do not reflect the real world anymore.

This guy knows it!

Well, it's been undone. Nothing to see here except likely increasingly tense debate over societal stuff
