[Pot Meet Kettle]

That's just the thing. I said I would only date someone of the opposite SEX. Sex means genitalia. The mod that started the thread said I was "denying gender identity" and permanently banned me. Before that he called me out on it and I asked him to point out when I ever even said the word gender. He couldn't and then banned me. Is what it is. It's a shit site.

Doesn't dating, having sex, and marrying presume consent from both parties?
Everyone should already be familiar with where male parts and female parts go during intercourse... it's obvious you would be limited to anal sex.

So many times was consensual sexual intercourse said to be "actually rape" if it's longer than intended, its scope further than originally agreed upon, no written agreement beforehand and verbal confirmation during the act every 30 seconds, and things like that but... by that logic, trying to deceive or force your partner into surprise anal sex is one hell of a consent deal-killer by the exact same logic. Unless it's okay since men can't ever be raped?

 

[TDLink]

The question is, why did non-ideologically motivated people, if there is a huge number of them, mass leave in the first place?
Are users creating most of the content and people creating disliked "echo chamber" perhaps the same individuals?

I would say that at the time it seemed like everyone was leaving. It very much was a mass exodus. Essentially all of the big/notable posters who generated much of the content on the site certainly were. Some of those people are the "Echo chamber individuals". But a lot of them aren't, they just went as well. There was frustration at the time with the moderation (potentially linked, and ironic, I know). But I think for a lot of people it was just following the tide. So I would say it's a mix of both.

 

[MarineMountie]

So you'd date a dude with a pussy?

Negative. But that is irrelevant to the thread, as we were discussing pre-operation anyway.

It's what the other poster called a honeypot thread. Make a thread, wait for those less "woke" nazis to respond and then ban them for not being part of the hivemind. It's quite disgusting.

 

[hariseldon]

men can't ever be raped?

On UK legal definition a man can be raped, but only by another man, and rape is something that can only be carried out by a man as it requires penile penetration. Anything a woman does, the worst it can be is sexual assault. No fucking idea what the law is if a female-to-male transexual inserts a 'penis' into someone without consent.

Can women rape women in the UK?

 

[hariseldon]

Can women rape women in the UK?

I don't think so, as I said before it requires penile insertion (my wife's a solicitor and a bit SJW so this conversation has come up).

 

[RokkanStoned]

I don't think so, as I said before it requires penile insertion (my wife's a solicitor and a bit SJW so this conversation has come up).

Sounds right and from a quick google search it seems like you need a penis.
Also would SJW really be an apt description for your wife? I personally dislike the use of it when it completely tries to dismiss people who are concerned or have a specific view on social issues or who fronts them. Though it's nice to see that people in general can get by, even if they have differences in opinion. Me and my wife disagree on various things in regards to politics, and it can get a bit tiresome for her at times (especially because I love to play Devil's Advocate at times), because I'm very interested in politics and love talking about the more academic perspectives on politics. One of the few things we agree on are ridiculous articles in newspapers though.

 

[hariseldon]

I love her to bits but yes she can be a bit SJW - not resetera levels but at times she does tend towards the viewpoints espoused there (ie that racism against white people isn't racism and so on). We can disagree on things (hell she voted remain and I voted leave) and still do just fine after 8 years. As for the use of it - I use it re the wife in jest as while she has some of the views she doesn't have the preachiness nor the viciousness (and I suspect that some of it comes from some of her hyper-feminist friends), but for other people it is a term for those screechy types who really won't engage in debate but rather prefer to stick labels on things, divide people into a million groups and basically do the far right's job for them.

 

[royox]

but i am in no fucking way open to dating anything other than my heterosexual opposite gender.

You wouldn't bang a lesbian if she wanted to bang you just because she wants to know " how it feels"?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

You wouldn't bang a lesbian if she wanted to bang you just "for trying how it feels"?

It would the same as being with any other woman I guess

Both parties unfatisfied :/

I don't think so, as I said before it requires penile insertion (my wife's a solicitor and a bit SJW so this conversation has come up).

In prison they use broomsticks

So yes objects exist how do you think lesbots bang?

 

[hariseldon]

They may use a broomstick, but for legal purposes this does not count as rape, just sexual assault.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Thats much more painful than a dick lol oh uk

 

[royox]

how do you think lesbots ba

?

 

[nkarafo]

Got about a quarter down page 2 and lost the will to fucking live. So much hate for white people, but no that's not racist at all. As I've said for a long time, SJWs and the alt-right are two sides of the same fucking coin.

Someone told them one day that only minorities can be victims of racism. They want to believe it so they can act openly racist because that's what they are. Not trying to mask it a bit or be subtle about it. As long as the label "racist" can only be given to a white supremacist or something they can do and say whatever they want. They have a license to kill sort to speak and they seem to enjoy it.

I don’t see anyone crying foul over a lack of equality there. Only the nice stuff, like CEO positions.

 

[Redneckerz]

I don't really think its wise to link or promote anything KF. That site promotes doxxing people and collecting people's personal information among other icky things.
Best to let that site die.

Also a site that stood up for Chloe Sagal as compared to ERA. But a lot of stuff they post is rather inflammatory.

That being said, the banbot is just a subdomain of Kiwi and only hosts content made by ERA itself. They just do statistics. Although i do argue how much info you would need to know the finer details, which is a grey area, the banbot just extrapolates and summarizes data generated by the site itself. So if they want that changed, then perhaps their quality of moderation needs to improve first.

The moderation part is hilarious.

Anyhow, I hope EviLore or others would find a way to welcome them back.

Seems like women are still getting the short end of the stick in that respect.

Spoiler: ........

I'll see myself out

[Musky_Cheese]

Reading the thread, it seems their morals are more than a little flexible. How does a community lose it's collective shit over a layout change. Leave here because they didn't like how the accusation was handled. But not throw a fit when one of their own doxxes a employee of a game company?

I turned the page on Old Gaf sins. This is New Gaf, and the new mod team/leadership is great. I believe we have a strong foundation. But if one of our own doxxes someone and Gaf supports it, I am out.

I am surprised this wasn't an issue for the group that, when they were here... everything was an issue.

 

[Redneckerz]

Can we just summarize ERA's recent Entertainment move and their policies and people leaving with the following panel?

I mean hey you just did.

Metokur showed this very thread near the end of the video which probably is the reason why he created the video.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Goodness, that video gave me a deeper dive into ERA than I'd ever wanted. Regret.

But funny video, nonetheless.

What I find interesting is that Gaf has around 215k more monthly visitors than era but era seems to be much more active. On thing this tells me is that there are a ton of people lurking and not posting.

I do kind of miss every piece of breaking news getting a new thread a millisecond after it's announced and popular threads receiving tons of posts every minute. On the other hand, the new mod policy here and the posters that stuck around and absolutely fantastic.

Then perhaps we need as a community to organize and prioritize posting of the news.

I will try to post news if it hasn’t been posted.

Yes, and a relatively small number of extremely active people posting there all the time...

 

[hariseldon]

Most forums actually have that iceberg profile - mostly lurkers and a few active posters, it's not unusual.

 

[MarineMountie]

Yes, and a relatively small number of extremely active people posting there all the time...

Yep. You see the same names over and over. No wonder it's a hivemind.

HOLY F*CKING SHIT

 

[infinitys_7th]

Well you could start with the guy who claimed that the Nazi salute was just a "mean gesture." Or how about the Tommy Robinson supporters? That's Tommy Robinson, ex football hooligan, ex member of the BNP and founder of the EDL. There was one nutter on here who tried to portray him as some sort of wide eyed, innocent princess who just kept on magically falling into bed with far right extremists. So yeah, let's not act like there aren't Nazi sympathisers on here.

The salute was called a "mean gesture" in the context of a person saying Robinson should be arrested for his former followers (who he disassociated with) making the salute.

I don't really think its wise to link or promote anything KF. That site promotes doxxing people and collecting people's personal information among other icky things.

I mean, so does ResetEra. They just do it behind Discord.

 

[Battlechili]

Well, ResetEra promoted doxxing to the CDPR guy as well as other's in the past, getting people they did not like fired, and yet here we are sharing posts and talking about them.

Also, DeepEnigma hit it on the head as this entire thread is in regards to a site and its community that has openly shown that they are willing to doxx people themselves.

Isn't that just justifying something by saying "other people are doing it so that makes it okay"?

 

[DeepEnigma]

No, you said not to share something from a site known for doing it.

I don't really think its wise to link or promote anything KF. That site promotes doxxing people and collecting people's personal information among other icky things.
Best to let that site die.

That was your original argument. Yet here we are, sharing and talking about a site known for it as well. Thus your argument falls flat.

 

[Battlechili]

Ah okay but
I don't think era's moderators regularly encourage people to dig information on and post threads with people's personal information in the OP for the sake of making fun of them.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Haha love how he can’t help but laugh while reading the posts

lol

Shout out to Jim if you see this.

KF tends to police itself - it's more about information gathering and archival than actually using it. They go after the A-Logs who do actually use the doxxes.

RE, on the other hand, acts on what they gather.

 

[DeepEnigma]

No, they do it to get them fired

Eh. I don’t agree with the doxxing but KF is pretty harmless when it comes to GAF/Era talk. They’re basically just another Bore. The tool Crunklord put together is really good too.

Yeah, these people have over 10K-20K posts, and the forum has not hit a year yet.

TFW you’ve been posting on GAF for 7 years and don’t even have 10k posts.

Is cat sitters a new term? That’s new to me. What does it mean?

WTF 26K posts, that's like 70+ posts a day.. .

And get professional help. I mean seriously, that's just outright mentally unhealthy.

 

[CrustyBritches]

It would almost have to be your job to get away with posting habits like this.

I'd like to think that some are alts of the same person, the 8th conflagration of Shiva *monotone invocations*
