HI everyone, I apologize in advance for my bad english
I would never imagine I had to open such a kind of thread, but still here I am, astonished by the behavioiur of moderation in this forum.
If nothing change and nobody takes serious actions, I have to sadly say that Larian is resulting to be a company who permits and tolerate hate speech against autism in his forums.
Here, sintetically, the facts.
In the thread regarding italian localization there was some hot debate going on, when suddenly a user named Tuco said to every protester that they are autistic, meaning this like an insult, as he clarify better later ("I am making a battle against autism", he wrote in italian addressing as autistic all the people who disagree with him, thinking this was a proper insult to say).
I immediatly answer to him that this kind of speech was unappropriate. Some other people did too. A moderator shows up and temporary close the thread, reopening one hour later with a generale invite "to be polite".
But that was not enough for Tuco, because when another user told him that autism was not a correct way to address people as an insult, he confirm his hate speech with this exact words (this time he wrote in english, so everybody could understand his racism and discriminatory attitude):
I honestly don't understand what game you're playing. It seems to me that some people are trying to expose Larian their displeasure about the matter. Obviously there will always be some hotheads who are to be avoided reading, but diminishing a freedom to expose one's ideas and humbly ask to be reconsidered for the Italian localization does not seem wrong to me.
There's "asking for an Italian version" and there's the relentless pettiness of insulting the developers and the community representative over and over ("Pagliacci", "fate schifo" etc), making up spurius claims about an illicit being committed ("false advertising") and overall being INCREDIBLY petty and whiny and wording dissatisfaction in the form of some sort of blackmail ("I'm going to pirate the game because X"), of which both this thread and the Steam forum had plenty.
On the contrary this topic has been closed earlier because you used some really embarassing and petty words, bringing up even authism
I brought up the term that perfectly described the type of obsessive-compulsive, petty, whinyand socially-stunted attitude I was witnessing.
And don't even try to sell the bullshit that the entire thread was "closed because of me", anyway.
So this kind and gentle sample of human neurotipic kind had to remark that he used the word "autism" just because autistic people is "obsessive compulsive", "whiny", "petty", "socially-stunted" etc.
But it is not over guys, because this gets way worse.
I am an asperger man, so I feel a little bit touched by the disgusting and false words spoken by this guy. So I said to him "what about if I tell you that I am diagnosed with asperger sindrome?".
I was expecting some apology (well, actually a moderator should stop that conversation and ban that guy waaay before that point, but ok, let's go on), but instead Mr, Tuco reply:
What if I tell you I am actually diagnosed with asperger's sindrome?
I would lie if I pretended to be surprised.
So, this answer came immediatly after he calls autistic people "petty" "whiny" "obsessive" "social stunted" etc etc.. all in a derogatory and higly insulting way.
Well, I just asked Raze, a self claim moderator (I refuse to think him as a person able to do that function), to ban him and/or cancel the hate speech content. Well, even Raze start a provoking, reason-avoiding, denialing apology of Mr. Tuco that is simply not possible to sintetize, because is something like a hundred lines of words full of foolishness and nonsense.
He started talking about "Free speech", using a lot of alt right sterotypes and avoiding the core of my arguments every single time, focalizing on diversionary aspects. Like we say in Italy, he started to "buttarla in caciara" in the worst way a moderator can do.
I want to know if this is the misconduct of a single moderator, or if the company LARIAN is actually endorsing and justifying the hate speech against autism, refusing to take actions against the publicatoin of hate speech messages.
I would like to have an explanation by someone. Thanks.
