Tim Sweeney had made it clear, we need a ratings board that evaluates ethics in games design, one that call out generative AI usage, one that calls out bad faith micro transaction design, one that calls out crunch, one that calls out controlling interest opposed to human rights.

There can be no ethical use of Generative AI under a system that doesn't inform people of its use and doesn't provide opt-in training with monetary compensation for training materials. It's that simple.

it's the end of a month and it's time for a pinball request stream! Supporters (or randomly chosen viewers when supporters are done) can choose what VPX pinball table I play

I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time, like Necrodancer, Zelda randomizer, and gender identity! Also now I'm obsessed with pinball. My pronouns are she/her.

if they marketed their little chat bots as glorified personal assistants, hey siri, what's the difference between eggplants and courgettes, they'd have a decent product with an identifiable niche.

instead steal everyone's stuff and scream THE WORLD IS CHANGED 4EVER which outs them as total weirdos
What a great headline

I didn't leave, but yesterday definitely left me... Defeated and somewhat betrayed. The folks that benefit from the system are defending the status quo, and just like @flannel.live they are my friends, peers, and even colleagues.

Folks are really fixated on a funny number over community.
Left the IFPA discord yesterday and it kind of hit me pretty hard.

Any attempts to talk about anything relevant are met with aggression from other community members.

People I thought I was friends with.

And honestly I'm a little messed up over it.

Josh Sharpe's monologue in the IFPA discord amounts to a declaration that no woman will have any power in the IFPA while he is around.

I hope that for every bridge that gets burnt, 2 more bridges will be built. It's clear that the community cares about this, and I hope this rallies the charge for other pinball social media (like HUPchallenge and a handful of podcasts) to join in with their voices.
I’m kinda risking burning bridges with some pinball industry contacts by making this video, but the entire Women’s Advisory board for the IFPA just resigned in protest, and we need to talk about this.

It should be emphasized, especially to those who wish to continue to support the IFPA and believe that they have made the right decision, that the actions and behaviors of the IFPA organization (+ the WAB resigning) have caused a lot of their friends and peers to lose trust in the IFPA. 1/?

Before I get into other things, I want to acknowledge that today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It would be remiss not to reflect on the sacrifices and struggles that have led us to where we are today. Trans Rights are Human Rights, and I hope to pick up where those who came before me left off.

I appreciate the heck out of the Women's Advisory Board for everything that they have done, and know that this decision was not made easily. While the past can't be changed, we can demand better for the future of competitive pinball.

This statement from 65 players in the San Francisco scene makes statements about their own recent issues and solidarity for the OBX Fall Flippers situation.

The IFPA deleted it in their own Discord, citing "discussion on the IFPA's response to [their OBX decision]."

This article has a line that sums up my feelings nicely. Esp when people say "it's here to stay"

"This isn't wearing down my opposition to AI-generated content, but it is wearing me down when it comes to approaching and enjoying video games."

I worry I just won't be able to enjoy new games anymore

TLDR: Part of the idea of not desanctioning the event was to "protect the trans community from more backlash" despite two transwomen saying it needed to be desanctioned.

The IFPA has chosen to shut down discussion of the OBX event in their own discord server.

As everyone knows, shutting down discussion of a topic in one singular place will surely get people to stop. /s
