I'm glad traffic is steadily increasing here and keep an eye on it and see if it ever increases in the ways that interest me (i.e. super active OTs and community threads for more than the latest big western AAA game) as I do like the more even moderation here and don't mind just ignoring the members that post shit that offends/triggers me.
And on non-ResetERA news, we have this article from VentureBeat by Jeff Grubb, overgeneralizing and mischaracterizing the consumers as a rabid mob. He makes quite a bit of misinformed takes:
- He makes a leaping assumption that people were angry over Bethesda's canvas bag fiasco were only in it for the outrage.
- He defends Jessica Price, claiming that her responses to Deroir weren't even "rude" and that she was a victim of "the mob". In reality, her behavior was widely denounced by both men and women when she attacked Deroir for being misogynist.
- He claims that the Diablo fanbase fabricated false reasons for their outrage against Diablo Immortal. The most hilarious part? He criticizes the fanbase for accusing Diablo Immortal to be a reskin of a Chinese mobile game. He says it is not a reskin even though he wrote an article in November explaining how Diablo Immortal is indeed one.
The message is clear, I think.
This whole thread is amazing, but please take a look at this specific post made completely unironically.
I haven't even listened to the Louis CK bit yet - maybe he really does say something truly offensive - but this atmosphere where people get prejudged to ridiculous degrees based on the random stuff they like seems to be snowballing. Like, there's flat out just certain pop-culture you're not allowed to accidentally admit you like a part of, now.

I've gotten the impression that people aren't banned from era for breaking the rules, as much as they're banned from breaking ideology.
I think I could write a list of 50 entries, consisting of celebrities, game developers, you tubers, video games, politicians, game journalists, etc, and ask that you write a paragraph of the things you like about them, and another of the things you don't like about them. Not dangerous extremist positions, but your genuine thoughts about these people, even if you have to dig deep to find something to like or dislike about them.
And depending on the list entry, posting one paragraph or the other in any given topic about that subject would likely get you banned or suspended from Era. And I could probably tell you which "for or against" it would be that would find your membership at risk. And you could take 10 entries off that list for being just too controversial, and I could add another 10, and it would still happen.
And that's not a discussion. That's forced ideological conformity. But that's also not criticizing the community at era. I'm sure there are loads of cool people there. It's just that if everyone there shared their full unfiltered opinions all the time, I don't think they would be around for long. But you could share any of those for or against opinions on this forum now, and that's the real difference between the two.
I wonder if ResetEra would even argue against them being idealogues that ban people for ' wrong think'?
How can you call yourselves progressives that tolerate different lifestyles and viewpoints if all you do is ban people who think different things than you do.
Its kinda fun watching them literally behave like the SS.
How do they interact in real life?
Hah! I actually know that person, or well, atleast the name. I think it was from some drama but eh.
Who is that guy?
What is this? Do we really need such aggressive targeted attacks against disabled people?He seems to be a NEET (twitter mentions medication to continue his "disability") with a Nintendo hardon. Classic shut-in autist type with an obsession for Nintendo...we all the know the type.

I'm fine with responding negatively or even aggressively towards someone who happens to have a disability. To attack the fact that the person is disabled (as in the quote) is a very different thing though and in pretty bad taste.Fuck off, Nazi!*
*I have declared more Underprivileged Points than you, therefore defending yourself from my hostile, unwarranted, unsubstantiated comments above would be an "aggressive targeted attack" and "punching down" by your logic. Now, prostrate yourself and apologize, Nazi.
^That's what this is.

By the way, I am pretty sure I never used the term "punching down", for a very good reason: I do not think it is a good idea to apply strict hierarchies on humans based on arbitrary criteria such as collections of privileges. It is a view that distracts from actual arguments and makes it personal in a non-constructive way. Attacking people for having disabilities has nothing to do with that, it's of bad taste, without adding anything to the argument.
How do I know? The person appears to be a NEET and the poster above alleges it is because of autism. I am not going to stalk the Twitter person to find out which disability, my issue is not that the person has a disability, but the fact that the person is being attacked for having one.Which disability?

Oh wow....internet definition of sitting there with your thumbs in your ears.
Oh no, that's not my style. Being the archived man that i am there are a few posts in here he should see. And if not, there are always the screenshots that would showcase that i kept an okay tone.All I see is a child so desperate for attention that they outright lie, slander, and use baseless accusations to prove some nonexistent point. Best not give the kiddo any.
Just someone from the Discord, nothing less, nothing more. For a second i thought it was that one user who claimed to suicide himself in multiple tweets and then didn't do that. The reason i thought it was him is because there was a similar Splatoon avatar, Dutch user name though so that was interesting.Who is that guy?
I don't think he is autistic and his disability does not have to be under brackets since i well remember that it was actually quite the sad story. There was also another called RoyaleDuke but that ERA thread went completely south when people misinterpreted my line and Duke months later still held it against me and ranted off on me being a Trump supporter and what not.Dont know. I saw the images linked on Kiwi and brought them over so Redneckerz JordanN and Blam could take a look.
Seems they are from Nov. anyway, kinda old and have zero responses.
His twitter, and Facebook (which isnt hard to find) are lonely islands of no friends or responses anyway.
He seems to be a NEET (twitter mentions medication to continue his "disability") with a Nintendo hardon. Classic shut-in autist type with an obsession for Nintendo...we all the know the type.
I do find it curious how that initiates a post from you but the whole Twitter chain by Nanashrew does not bat you an eye (Or Nobody_Important , who so cleverely liked your post for support. Remember Nobody you have yet to take any accountability for calling my reminders harassment and spam and its really difficult for me not to make an accusation on your address for cowardice on your part. I am okay with us disagreeing on the ERA talk but you not taking accountability for that shitty accusation is poor sports.)What is this? Do we really need such aggressive targeted attacks against disabled people?
It is not mentioned here, but the disability part is geniune at the very least. Not that i would make fun out of that, although if you think i am a loser, you might think that. :/Which disability?
Lets not call people soyboy like that or make such a low quality post. Just because Nana has a misconstrued conception of my activity here (or GAF by itself) should not be an invite to throw insults around imo.Who is that soyboy and why is his mommy allowing him to check the net unsupervised?
My man this is like the third time in 1.5 weeks i see you make this kind of post that literally goes nowhere. What is the thought behind this? Because it reads like a textbook post from the sidelines to me.USA USA USA
Clearly they support the USA military and Donald Trump.My man this is like the third time in 1.5 weeks i see you make this kind of post that literally goes nowhere. What is the thought behind this? Because it reads like a textbook post from the sidelines to me.
Not calling you out, just curious.
One thing is a behaviour of random Twitter guy with a mixture of legitimate criticisim (nicknaming having an obfuscating effect and relying on extremist websites as sources) with conspiracy theories (much of what he is saying about you otherwise), which is shitty, but, well, he poster is not in this board and it is less clear cut an issue to me when compared to attacking people for being disabled on the very platform I use as well.I do find it curious how that initiates a post from you but the whole Twitter chain by Nanashrew does not bat you an eye (Or @Nobody_Importants, who so cleverely liked your post for support.

But it has nothing to do with the topic at hand? It would be like me going into a car thread and start talking about Latvia.Clearly they support the USA military and Donald Trump.
No offense but giving me a fucking break about nicknames having an obfuscating effect. I have literally explained this so many times now and if people want to see some grand conspiracy in that then they just aren't looking good enough.One thing is a behaviour of random Twitter guy with a mixture of legitimate criticisim (nicknaming having an obfuscating effect and relying on extremist websites as sources)
I just find your choice of priorities curious, that is all.with conspiracy theories (much of what he is saying about you otherwise), which is shitty, but, well, he poster is not in this board and it is less clear cut an issue to me when compared to attacking people for being disabled on the very platform I use as well.
I believe your intentions, but it has effects beyond the intentions. I really don't think the nicknames are a good idea or have anywhere clos to the effect you desire.No offense but giving me a fucking break about nicknames having an obfuscating effect. I have literally explained this so many times now and if people want to see some grand conspiracy in that then they just aren't looking good enough.
A website that hosts right extremists' viewpoints is inacceptable as a source from my perspective. I sometimes read what you link from such a source anyway, but that's because I trust you to be careful with your choice. I cannot expect the same from people outside of NeoGAF who do have a negative preconception of the site.Also extremist websites, i don't support their notions, but there is as much legitimate opinion to be found there then there is on ERA. Do i really need to get my book of examples out again?
I have explained them to you, but you are of course free to disagree.I just find your choice of priorities curious, that is all.
Classy.Hahaha what a goober. I just had a quick captain cook at this cunt’s twitter and he was sperging about transphobia and smash bros racism on New Year’s Eve. Redneckerz JordanN Blam don’t worry about this neurotic no lifer.
Jason Lacour: I know you’re reading this. You will be a virgin and a loser for the rest of your life if you keep shilling for the cult.
Hah! I actually know that person, or well, atleast the name. I think it was from some drama but eh.
Oh wait, its That Nanashrew? I have to check my logs for that then. I don't remember that the salt dispensed was of good enough quality to preserve, but apparently it was for you Jason? In any case i apologize. Oh i remember, i actually still have those logs/screens about that stuff. You want to see those?
Jason, since i know you read here (Apparently not that great though!) you have some things incorrect. Also i wish you would have just addressed me in PM and you would find a civilized discussion would prosper. Just like on ERA (And i am not being satricial here!).
What's that? The guy who made up those code words is voicing support for ERA? That's right! Unlike your series of tweets that miss details, i am well aware that not everyone is a crapshooter on ERA and a lot of people, including people on the staff itself, are just fine men, lasses, and trans people. (Hey, i support these folks 100%!)
The reason i made those code words Jason is to differentiate the actual crappy people and the (majority) that aren't. It makes it far easier for me to refer to people when i talk about Little Helpers or The Names.
Secondly, I got banned over all other ERA related discords... literally 4 months after i was permabanned, and with no additional reasoning anyway. Just opened Discord and they were gone. Seems a bit delayed and odd, don't you think?
Lastly, you might want to ask yourself this: If the majority of the gaming community (And not just Kiwi/Bore/Voat/4chan/MisterMetokur/etc) are in the wrong regarding the status and image of ERA, don't you think that this is a little strange? Because that would suggest an orchestrated conspiracy that spans multiple sites, multiple outlets and somehow we would all be controlling this through... how exactly?
Or...
Is it because ERA's negative imagery is generated from within, thus the sole cause for the surrounding dislike among most of the gaming community is actually caused by those who you refer to as ''code words?''*
I should not have to remind you that conspiracies are unhealthy for the soul and mind. Thus, assuming proper intent, the bolded is far more likely than what you are suggesting to your tweets. Be honest.
If you want names, ill happily provide them. The only thing i would ask of you, since you seem to take an personal interest in me: Please contact me privately, either here, or hey, even on Discord. Same username too.*
Hell, i have a Twitter handle too which isn't associated with GAF. Ill happily contact you if you aren't making the attempt.
You will find i am hardly as bad as you portray me out to be, that is, if you are willing to have a proper talk about this.
Because, if else, it makes your definition of me (Loser) rather off: Instead of addressing me directly, you launched a series of tweets (that apparently saw no likes, so your reach is what, nill?) behind my back and i know for a fine fact i never even addressed you in my forum novelles about ERA.
Lets both not be losers and please reach out to me, okay? Ill give you a week.
PS: You do know its not nice to refer to a Discord discussion where i held a civil tone, you know? Looking back at the convo, its pretty obvious that the sharks were released before one could even make a point. Whose problem is that, you think? Again, be honest.
@PKM can you send this over to Jason?
Classy.
This is really the example GAF has to set in 2019.
.
Oh no, that's not my style. Being the archived man that i am there are a few posts in here he should see. And if not, there are always the screenshots that would showcase that i kept an okay tone.
I mean, i hold no grudges, what i read is simply a misinformed conclusion, which got brought forward simply because, atleast from their side, they refrained from having a proper discussion. I was told to fuck off. Not sure if it was this topic or the other but at one point i just said something to the effect of ''This is what makes it difficult for people outside ERA to not see the negative imagery anymore'' and i instantly was called jealous for being permaed and if i kindly could fuck off.
Like, there is literally no base then to even start a conversation if come in that way, with your answer essentially being ''I don't know you and i don't care to know you'', like this Oblivion meme shows:
Just someone from the Discord, nothing less, nothing more. For a second i thought it was that one user who claimed to suicide himself in multiple tweets and then didn't do that.

I can't confirm its a good feeling being barged with such intense ranting that any coherent point is dissolved. Went out of my way to apologize and to explain but it was not enough. Actually that's also partially why i got banned from the Mental Health ERA Discord because you can only be empathetic to someone's cause if you keep the lesser soft words out of the equation. Sorry, but you can't sugarcoat everything, especially when always playing it that way does not have the desired effect. Mind you, i was not even thinking of saying something blunt like Matt would. Matt wouldn't last 5 minutes in that Discord.
I get being sensitive and all but that was just too much pandering. More pandering and you might aswell get the baby box out of the garage so nothing can reach them.

I mean, just because they (Not Nana) do that, does not mean we have to. That's only reserved for people who just won't get it.
It’s always the fault of the alt-right Nazis or what not. *Rolls eyes
I hope he can make some of the changes he promised and I'm glad we didn't give the worker's party another shot.
The First Lady's speech was touching.
Oh boy, somebody is going to be dogpilled. Look at the post below:
It's from this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/jair-bolsonaro-sworn-in-as-president-of-brazil.90667/page-3
The brazilian left hates that guy the same way liberals hate Trump.
I bet he's gonna be banned for that post.
This was an apology to a long forgotten conversation.lol stop apologizing, you fool. That’s what these idiots want. They love playing the victim and an apology is the ultimate confirmation of their victimhood.
Except its not a shtick, and im not pretending they made innocent mistakes.Those cunts unpersoned you like a Soviet dissenter and you still want to try to pretend they’re just making innocent mistakes. Your feigned high road schtick is transparent, ineffective, and plays to their game, not yours.
That's what she said.tbh I’d be surprised if I lasted 2 minutes.
