Doom community happenings

I feel you mrthejoshmon , I don't like his channel either. It was okay for the first 2 times but every video is the same, everytime he has to pretend to be surprised that the shit he asked for was indeed shit. Checking the catalog I see that at least he also started to do playthroughs of "normal" wads in the past years. But in the end who cares, he's harmless and still have fun doing his niche thing.

I wouldn't really say I was the author, I just had the bad idea, everyone else had the actual energy to make it.

Yeah that's lame. At least now I know the mod's released now. 
Here's the link to the ZDoom forums thread which has the latest v1.1 download link (I'd rather not link a direct download to someone else's project in this situation)

That Easter egg doesn't even look that bad, it's kinda random but I legitimately don't see why are they getting all riled up

I don’t think so, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s a man either. He definitely shows no balls.

I think they're well within their right to reject it, it's not the item itself that is the issue it is the continued inclusion of incredibly detailed indepth clearly sexualised torture porn that this author absolutely must shoehorn in every mod he makes.

Literally every single one he made.

If this happened in my forum I would totally fuck off someone if in every map they hid something like furry porn or diaper porn or scat ect, get the fuck outa my house with your filth, go jack off elsewhere.

End of the day it is their forum, their rules, their choice to deny bizarre fetishist garbage being shoehorned in.

The honest answer - it may continue in this state indefinitely. Things we hate don't fall merely as the result of being things we hate.

That's a pretty interesting way to call Shadowman™'s patented 64-Unit Wide Mazes®.

Killer post! I actually enjoyed the mazy and cryptic stuff in Cheogsh 2, but the pun you made is gold.

I suck at introductions, so... no. Thanks for the welcome, though!

Wtf doomworld? Are you the people that are fucking up the BLM movement by fighting to get rid of Aunt Jemima instead of holding police accountable for murder?

I don't like the easter egg, not even a little bit, but this is another example of doomworld using moderation powers without being clear about what they want. Check out these contradicting sentences strung together:



huh



"We don't want to talk about the topic that we initiated, we just want to bait you into defending yourself against our pre-planned responses to this indefensible gimmick so we can make an example out of you."

(There must be a bunch of deleted posts. From searching the page, Jimmy is the only one at this point in the thread saying "cancel.")

Be real. Doom is a fucking weird game. Example: Commander Keen is a child hanging from a noose, in which you are barred from exiting Doom 2 MAP32 until you blast him open spilling his guts onto the floor. Yes it is fucked, and it would be fucked up if Doom didn't already have it and someone made it as an easter egg in their mod today. What kind of message is that sending? So let's not pretend that the source material of Doom (and by extension, most classic FPS's that doom modders draw inspiration from) isn't sending mixed messages about what you can and can't do in Doom. There is no initiation process to Doom mapping that says "these are the aspects of authenticity in classic game modding that we unanimously agreed to abandon and we now enforce by banning."

How can we be sure everyone knows this when it's doom that brings people to the doom community and not the world around it?

I agree with the overall message of doomworld that being in tune with current day social issues is better for everyone, and really, it's just a waste of energy and also potentially harmful to debate. The path to change is to extend a friendly hand to that person and talk about the essence of the message in hopes that exploring it will allow the author to see the problem themself. (I made this same argument about the last doomworld topic we had here, remember?)

I also know that when I'm in a bad mood, I can look at something absolutely beautiful and still get fixated on a small part of it that sucks. We have to get ahead of that. It's crippling to the to Doom community to turn doom modding from a vast blank canvass of interactive creative expression into "actually, we are binding you to some very poorly defined rules about what you're not allowed to do."

I can't imagine the future of doom modding being very fun when doomworld shines the infamy spotlight on a singular easter egg of a mod as if to say that every other aspect of the mod and it's author are now conducive to political propaganda. No one's asking for that.

tl:dr Feminism is awesome, torturing women sucks, but seriously, by doomworld's logic, everyone in the doom community is now a violent racist chauevanistic ignorant scumbag just by proximity. Join doomer boards instead so you can be whoever the fuck you are.
