Support NeoGAF

[Yoshi]

Right, I wasn't going to go out of my way to hide who I was, because that just makes it more obvious that I'm "breaking the rules," and I didn't think it was a "seriously" enforced rule, again, because of examples like "Dennis8K" and "Ban Puncher," who are obvious alts and who even outright state and mock the fact that they're circumventing previous bans through alts.

Source on that? Dennis8K has been on Resetera since October 2017, so I cannot believe he is a ban avoiding alt.

 

[Cunth]

reee have completely diluted the meaning of the word 'nazi'. they are so ignorant.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Really faszinating to see what is happening at the moment. From a sociological view I man. For a long time in my life I was always curious how leftists views can turn bad and now I see it literally happening. Human psychsology is so fascinating.

 

[Airola]

Wow.

Orayne: "It would be illegal to wait until nobody is home and just chuck a big ol Molotov cocktail at the place. I sure hope nobody gets the satisfaction of watching this shithead's miniature McMansion burn down, because that would be against the law."

SlickShoesRUCrazy: "The lives of people like carlson and any other public trumper should be hell until they are 6 feet under."

bottledfox: "His life in danger from all these people saying mean words at him." - funny how the wrong choice of word in a tweet is such a big fucking issue then

Orayne again: "People like him should live in a state of constant fear for the rest of their lives, at a minimum."

Alternade: " Oh well. If his house burns down I'm sure he can afford another "

RedMercury: "We can't worry about what the other side thinks, they are lost" - actually you totally should consider what the other side thinks, that's how a functioning political system works - you negotiate with the other side and come to a position acceptable to both sides.

Bandage: " Yeah it would be such a shame if a nazi got "popped". " - in response to a post where it's quite clear that popped means killed.


I don't particularly love Fox News, and Tucker Carlson may well be a cunt, no idea, but he presumably has a family, and people near him who care about him, just as Donald Trump does, just as Hillary does, just as Ted 'cuntface' Cruz does. No we shouldn't be fucking harassing any of them, in fact we shouldn't be harassing people full stop. I really do find the talk there quite fucking disturbing.

Yet it was SoulUnison who got called "you evil motherfucker."

The Resetera Twitter deplatforming is reality coming home.

The site is as much an extreme activist site as it is a gamers site. It nurtures division, hate, violence, and is openly racist against white people. This is meant to represent kindness and inclusion? Hello?

I’m not the type, but I’m surprise nobody inclined is cataloging all the extreme posts and the countless nods for submission to the authorities. Especially in lieu of the recent tragedy against the Jewish community.

 

[ILLtown]

That Tucker Carlson thread...... damn. I'm surprised their ISP hasn't taken that site down. Perhaps they're unaware of the type of radicalisation that's going on there, with people calling for doxings and molotov cocktails to be thrown at people's houses.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Saying "Fuck Tucker Carlson" is a sentiment that doesn't need a reason to be discussed. Just repeating it over and over is its own pleasure. And while we're at it, fuck Tucker Carlson's nazi ass wife and his nazi ass adult children.

I mean, I get that a REEE member would call Tucker Carlson a Nazi, but how does he know that his wife and kids are also Nazis? Smarmy Smurf, the user who posted this, must have special mental powers.

 

[Cunth]

They are full on extremists

They expanded their views to harassing anyone who is rich as being acceptable: https://www.resetera.com/posts/14737345/

i feel like this should be done to the richest people in the country. make their lives unbearable until they put their wealth to work for public good.

or how about just taking their wealth and property instead?

i'd be all for that, but to do so legally would require legislation that has no chance of passing. the best bet is to harass them as much as the law allows to make them just give up or at least hide in some bunker in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah I mean I'm quite a long way to the left economically but they can fuck right off with that. There are rich assholes and poor assholes, I've dealt with both. Similarly, some poor people are lovely and some rich people are lovely. I've also dealt with both of those.

If nothing else this stuff gives me a regular reminder to keep my standards higher than that.

 

[Cunth]

Rich people and/or the government should pay me to do online activism

I'm a little out of loop, so I'd like to get updated.

I hear Twitter blocked links leading to Resetera, is it true? If so, finally, it sounds like the final phase to Era's Implosion

It isn't like people will make multiple accounts to post from on the new forum when they were probably doing it on the old forum...

I honestly dont know how to report a website but it needs to happen. Just go to an FBI field office and show them? That thread is horrific.

Well, the other stages are the previous stages before Twitter started censoring Resetera links...

If Era implodes, you will hear something like an 'OOOOHHH YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH" coming from Spain.

 

[Michele]

Wait what? What do you mean?

Does Spain hates Resetera? Does this means Spain actually wants Neogaf and not that site?

I mean, I live in Spain, and I will shout out a loud gratification scream. I was just saying that when you hear it, you know where it comes from : D

 

[hariseldon]

I'm in two minds about the wisdom of reee exploding.

- Staying together has the benefit of containing the crazy in theory. In practice it rather concentrates it, and infects anyone who gets too close, and being a united front its influence is dangerously large.
- If it explodes, the fuckers will come here and ruin what is a pretty damn good forum. I suspect that once you remove the crazies via some quick banning you'd end up with the forums leaning more to the left but generally within sane range as without the toxic influence people wouldn't be radicalized so much. Being forced to interact with normal people might help moderate their views as they disperse around the internet. Alternative possibilities include them migrating to RPS to make things even worse there, or forming reee 2.0 which I suspect would be even more hard-core. The best-case scenario is two or more camps forming in different forums and a bit of forum war kicking off, diluting their power as they fight among themselves.

 

[Skyn3t]

So the animals on Era have some topics where they conspire how to kill, mutilate or take hostage virtually anyone who doesn't share their fucked up hivemind mentality? Cool, good material for FBI to investigate, cause that's terrorism, right?

 

[fantomena]

Well, the other stages are the previous stages before Twitter started censoring Resetera links...

And what were those stages about?

 

[Michele]

And what were those stages about?

Hmm, since you don't know, I'll enlighten you.

The first phase is that of October, when the site was founded.
The second phase began in November, when users eventually got ability to post thread. But I think it was also the rise of that site.
Third phase will eventually begin in 2018, there are a lot of things that surrounded the community, but mainly the population kept rising up, but users started to be toxic.
Fourth phase began after that controversial thread, which I don't remember but I do remember there being a record-shattering of 13 permanent bans.
The fifth phase is when they Doxxe'd a employee and then that Cyberpunk if I remember correctly.

And now, they're finally getting to the final phase, or sixth phase if it's not the final. Twitter has finally blocked Resetera sites. This is where the downfall begins here, truly.

 

[Blam]

To be quite honest I'd submit an anonymous tip, because this is now threatening people on the internet sure it's some petty shit to do, but well these fuckwads are slowly skipping and crossing that line where they should not have even gotten close to.

Common sense and a shred of integrity is gone it seems on their end.

They are slowly reaching levels of ANTIFA, and it's not good to see this, because I can only guarentee that shit like that is gonna soon be a breeding ground for the group.

I hate to break it to you guys, but you are a bit late on the Twitter news. The mod captains were made aware almost immediately and Cerium has already been in touch with Twitter support. It seems to have been a simple mistake with the Twitter report algorithm that came as a result of a coordinated report spam. They reported enough ResetEra links quickly enough to trigger a Twitter safeguard that automatically blocks a site after a set number of reports in a short amount of time. Its to protect users from potentially harmful sites that are shared by adbots.


Era will live on it seems. Much to your dismay lol

 

[Ogbert]

I honestly don't say this lightly, as there is some healthy competition for the title, but that Tucker Carlson thread is one of the most unpleasant threads I've ever read on the internet.

The sheer amount of hysterical, utterly unjustified venom.

I don't actually think everyone on Resetera is a loony. Many of them are just young, impressionable and angry with authorty. Nothing wrong with that. But fuck me, there is also a core of weapons grade c1nts that need watching. I would not be in the least surprised to find out a mass shooter was an active member of that forum.

It's vile and I'm not going to visit it anymore.

 

[Ogbert]

For a long time in my life I was always curious how leftists views can turn bad and now I see it literally happening.

For what it's worth, these people aren't left wing. I don't mean that in the 'no true socialist' way; rather, there is a very long and noble tradition of left wing politics that fights for worker's rights, health care, welfare etc and provides demonstrable good.

And neither are they liberal. They couldn't be further from that term.

These people are authoritatians and, in many ways, puritanical.

Yup, and the self-awareness is staggering that they just don’t get it.

It obvious that the forum is made up of young folks (mostly men) who are being manipulated into indulging their more primitive thoughts and impulses and that it is somehow righteous.

With each one of those threads, this have ramped up the rhetoric more and more. It’s not a healthy place. And is emphasizing all that is wrong with the internet.

Their gaming side is good in that it moves fast (but it’s not like there is any “insider” info like back in the golden age of gaf.

I don’t think the site “implodes” or anything (even with the twitter thing), but it’s legitimacy as anything other than a very far left, potentially extremist, forum is shot.

I assume Twitter has an exceptions list or a way to keep it from happening again. So I doubt that would work lol

I mean we just show twitter that the site is a breeding ground for violence and show them all these posts i can guarentee it'll be easily blocked again.

 

[prag16]

I believe the prominent attitudes on Era are common and celebrated among people who've never even used an internet forum.

Not in any manner remotely approaching anything mainstream. Before the internet, the crazies were isolated and spread out. Now crazies from across the globe can easily congregate without having to physically travel anywhere. Goes for both the KKK extreme and the other extreme seen in that Tucker thread on Era.

protect users from potentially harmful sites

If the shoe fits. Era definitely fits the description of a "potentially harmful site".

Somebody has pointed this out in the past, but when google searching "resetera is..." the autocomplete suggestions are "cancer", "toxic", and "garbage", in that order. No lies detected.

Twitter can barely police their own content and yet you want me to believe they are gonna take time to pay attention to someone else's? Especially when they already don't block places like The Donald?


Good luck with that.

Yes because random search results on google are totally representative of reality lol

They don't block places like the donald because that would require them to have something other then a top level domain filter. Which as far as I know is out of their grasp.

They will tho easily block a site if it has any shred of violence/etc involved with it.

Once I get home I'm going to write a massive report against it including what they did to me as well, and all the reports of transphobia, abuse against certain genders, general trashy toxic, and violent behavior they have.

Hahaha let's make fun of public harassment of a man's wife and kids at home and say things on a messege board that are vile and disgusting. That group broke his door, talked about bombs and chanted we know where you sleep and that sick and disgusting board is applauding it.

Reported to the FBI. That place IS a breeding ground for violent, ignorant, political nutcases.

"Much to your dismay" lol.

Glad you find it funny.

No what I find funny if you guys desperately finding something to point to every couple of weeks to say "AHA THIS IS WHERE ERA IS GONNA BEGIN TO DIE!!". When in reality you are just letting your bias against the site cloud your judgment. ResetEra was never a big thing on Twitter. And Twitter doesn't even fully block the links. It just tells you that the site may be unsafe and asks if you wish to continue. And anyone familiar enough with Era to use a link from there is obviously informed enough to know that its not a harmful site and will continue anyway. So even if the block remains for some reason (It won't) it wouldn't actually have any measurable affect on the site overall.


As for the protests I am not okay with any form of violence or threats no matter who is involved so trying to paint me as some kind of supporter of what happened is not gonna work sorry.

I mean we haven't always been saying that it's going to die.

It's progressively getting worse there's no fault in that.

We've gone from ERA is shit, to ERA is getting worse then shit, ERA is transphobic, ERA is toxic, ERA is going to collapse in on itself like a neutron star. To now which is ERA is a breeding ground for extremists.

But if Cerium gets it back, then I'm sure there's going to be more backlash, I mean peoples will just report the link again.

Otherwise, we're back to phase 5.

[Blam]

I'm gonna be real honest I'm surprised nobody has done anything to Cerium. I'd have assume with kiwi,4chan,8chan, and loads of other places are going at them that nothing was done. Or anything to the site as a whole.

 

[Michele]

Backlash from who? lol

You just said yourself that the reason peoples have been unable to post Resetera links was because a lot of peoples reported that site, so much that the algorithm kicked in and blocked the site.

Well, if the link does gets unblocked (reinstan...? I don't know how to say it properly), I'm pretty sure there's going to be more backlash - as in, I'm pretty sure users will just report it again.

The link being censored itself proves that users are starting to be aware that Resetera is now toxic.

ERA is transphobic

I'm sorry what? They are the exact fucking opposite of Transphobic.
