But do you see a chance of it stopping? Reductive social media, with Twitter the forerunner of it, promote a climate that is supportive of it and modern social media optimising information flow in a way that you need to actively be careful not to end up in an echo chamber strengthen this effect. We can see it on the social justice advocacy site with metoo and ever-increasing language policing and we see it on the right with "alternative facts", conspiracy theories and anecdotal charged reporting. Many other subcommunities with a somewhat smaller reach (anti-vaxx, identitarians, sovereign citizen movements, global warming deniers) exist as well that are strengthened by such mechanisms. In the mid-terms it is clear we will not get rid of such charged social media bubbles, so as someone who has been a professional in social media for more than a decade, do you see any realistic chances to tackle this issue in an effective way?

Yes, by voting against the party who has weaponized it, refusing to accept it, and boycotting companies who participate. Not complex, and Karma will be there to pitch in from time to time.

So, in the US, voting against both major parties?

Troll pics would be more appropriate. You are suggesting that Republicans are equally to blame for the weaponization of me too after all.

No, but for the weaponisation of social media for reductive, tendential reporting and outrage culture. With Trump being a forerunner of this type of social media tactics.

Well you were responding to a post about me too, I responded to your first sentence, which was a question about whether there is a chance of it stopping. I then told you how I see that happening. You then said both sides. Maybe stop bringing up both sides when the topic is specifically about the damage one side has done to society in hopes of forcing the President to resign six months ago? You beefs with the right have no comparison to the weaponization of me too. Spreading nonsense conspiracy theories is not akin to throwing out due process and destroying someone because of the genitalia of a person alleging something.

Reading a little of that Deadmau5 thread, Error is such a hateful little place. Insane to think that they spawned from here. And how quickly this place had changed over the course of a few years, taking the before, during and after into account. Just very glad that those things aren’t happening over here anymore and we can let tiny news bites be just that. Obviously I know now some of the ins and outs that led to what had happened on the boards, but at the time it was bizarro for the average poster.

I hail the based Politics section adopted here, too, An absolute gem of a move to implement on the boards in the current climate.

banned from Reeee? no
why would i post there if i can post here... this place has the history, better layout, smarter posters, better discussion
i just remember him from back in the day.. one of the biggest stains on this place

Don't worry, he is as terrible as you remember, one of the biggest, if not biggest baiters out there.

Here he is having a lengthy discussion telling someone to stay in the lane.

And here is Little Helper Astro with a story of getting his front tooth knocked out and running after the assailant like a real hero. Also he tried to film the guy because he knew CCTV is shit.

Spoiler: r/thathappened

''Re-wording this now I've calmed down. It was badly written and gave the wrong impression of what happened.

- Guy was screaming at Post Office staff hurling racial and hateful slurs.
- He didn't look unhinged, just angry.
- I asked him what happened and if he could try to calm down.
- He told me to fuck off and mind my own business.
- He turned back to staff to continue. I was standing back at this point and I took out my phone to record him (I did thise so I could get him on record for the Police, CCTV is shit which I know very well from working in retail. Confirmed later by the Police who told me all three CCTV cameras he was directly caught on were useless).
- He spun round and hit my phone out of my hand.
- I picked it up and told him I was calling the police.
- He walked outside. I was on the phone to the police. I walked outside to see where he went.
- Busy high street, broad daylight, I didn't feel in any danger.
- He was walking away and I was at a safe distance behind him, I walked for like 50 feet then stopped and listened to my phone. At this point I was going to turn round and just walk away.
- He rushed over and sucker punched me then and knocked out my tooth.
- He ran round the corner.
- I followed him, grabbed him, he pulled out the chain as described bellow and I backed off and let him walk.

--- I wasn't trying to be a hero, the guy was obviously angry but he didn't seem unhinged. Obviously anything could happen, but I didn't put myself in any more risk than people you see in these situations online recording people shouting hateful shit.

As soon as he pulled out a weapon, I immediately put my hands up and backed off.

Sure, it was stupid and he could have done anything, and ultimately that's what I should consider next time. But please don't think I was trying to be some kind of super hero, I was constantly assessing to see if I was in danger, and the only reason I became injured was because I dropped my guard and he sucker punched me in the mouth.

Still stupid, and my fault for the wording, but some of the posts below are way off.

I understand I'm to blame for getting involved, and I shouldn't have walked outside at all, but I didn't feel threatened by him. I paid for that, and I'll have to now pay for my tooth.''

Thank you to everyone who gave me some support. <3

Obviously its really smart to film an angry guy and then follow him outside.
In other words:

because people from the Island of Ree aren't leaving their homes (jk). These people are taking the fall, so you don't have to!!!

I don't have anyone on my ignore list now, but back when those pyschos ran this place, I had thousands. It took years of just putting any giant SJW on the list whenever I'd spot them and it was the only way to make this place bearable.

If I went into a regular thread about a regular topic, there wouldn't be any blocked posts showing on my page. If I went into a thread about anything even slightly controversial, 80% of the posts would be blocked. The only thing those people did was come on here and live off of fake outrage every day. Everyone tried so hard to one-up each other's attempts to show how morally perfect they are by being as horrified as possible by any perceived slight against anyone or anything that wasn't white or straight. And now they're all over on Resetera, still chugging along.

A nice example of The Names betraying their own kin. Remember PlanetSmasher? The member of The Names that Xaero Gravity asked if he got demodded back in August. And he did, for this wonderful post:

Spoiler: Reeee

''I have nothing left but anger. I just also know that optimism will only lead to more disappointment. The Democratic Party is pathetic, and they simply don't have the spine to stand up and fight in any meaningful way. The progress we are making is being done almost entirely by grassroots campaigns and people of color, not our Democratic Congresspeople.

I honestly think we're standing on the precipice before the vitriol and anger turns to violence. They can't keep pushing us and expect us to keep rolling over. If Roe and marriage equality are overturned, this country is going to get bloody.''

So PlanetSmasher lost his moderator marbles, but he was allowed to keep his custom title. Because on ERA you are still a special person when you have your custom title.

Turns out that PlanetSmasher got a week ban (Reason: Inflammatory generalization) for this comment in a thread about the new Platinumgames Switch title, Astral Chain:

Spoiler: Inflammatory fire comment, yo aka Reee part 2

''Finally got to watch the trailer instead of still screenshots now that I'm out of work.

They really couldn't give the female lead pants, huh? Always gotta have hot pants and a fucking thigh gap, eh Japan? Even on a police officer? So sick of this shit.''

Emphasis mine. This proves three things:

• PlanetSmasher clearly is full of anger like he claimed above (in a completely unrelated thread, which is okay since ERAdians love this tactic themselves aswell)
• That post is an inflammatory generalization and thus worthy of a week ban. On GAF this would not even be worthy of opening the book
• The Names staff have no problem (SweetNicole in particular) throwing their former staff under the bus

Granted, they did this repeately with MiraculousSwidge and she even was given a changed username, but she proved to be too much even for REE so as IfSleepoversCouldTalk she was given a perm after multiple temp bans and a demodding when still as Swidge.

That's really strange actually, in my time there, this was a common sentiment and one where it was pretty dangerous to argue against even. I think the ban is pretty harsh, even though it is true that it is a wrong generalisation.

Reductive social media, with Twitter the forerunner of it, promote a climate that is supportive of it and modern social media optimising information flow in a way that you need to actively be careful not to end up in an echo chamber strengthen this effect. We can see it on the social justice advocacy site with metoo and ever-increasing language policing and we see it on the right with "alternative facts", conspiracy theories and anecdotal charged reporting. Many other subcommunities with a somewhat smaller reach (anti-vaxx, identitarians, sovereign citizen movements, global warming deniers) exist as well that are strengthened by such mechanisms. In the mid-terms it is clear we will not get rid of such charged social media bubbles, so as someone who has been a professional in social media for more than a decade, do you see any realistic chances to tackle this issue in an effective way?

Eventually, it will go to far. Then there will be some level of introspection and it will stop for a while.

It will still go on in smaller scales, as it always has. Social Media, in a lot of ways, amplifies what I would refer to as basically high school drama.
You know, someone starts a rumor and all the kids that are bullies or want to be in with the bullies jump on it and then it eventually dissipates.
But once in a whole the wrong thing gets done to the wrong kid and everyone has to step back and take a break for a while.
That plays out all over the world in schools and prisons and workplaces and even in friend circles and individual relationships.

Look at the Covington(?) kids and the MAGA hats.
It has all blown over now but imagine if someone had actually killed one of those kids over this?
That's almost unimaginable but I think the US would have needed some nationwide reflection in such a case.

Eventually it WILL go to far though and it won't be something that can be dismissed as an accident or just a "lone wolf" gone crazy.
It will be a situation where people were prodded and coaxed into thinking that something terrible was the right thing to do.

There are those who sincerely believe that there are no bad tactics, only bad targets. Eventually that will go too far.

I watched the trailer and thought the game looked amazing. This dude is watching the trailer to bitch about the type of pants the female character is wearing. Sometimes I wonder if these people even like games. I believe this fellow has admitted to being a broke basement dwelling loser before, so maybe that explains the anger issues.

Agreed. This is almost against the grain for RE, I’m used to seeing this type of post be propped up, not shut down and actioned.

Either a change in mod policy or there is something against this user. I doubt there is a change in policy as I saw people being banned for the usual misunderstandings only yesterday.

Its the usual ''I am going to ignore cultural differences and push my Western beliefs in my post! I am so outraged,

'' narrative. It is not relevant for them that the game comes from a culture where this is accepted, because US train of thought is that of being prudish. Therefore, this calls for outrage.

Its a shockingly simple explanation, its even more shocking that droves of these people have this narrative.

Which is why we call them NPC.

Sometimes I wonder if these people even like games.

These same lot yell about VC4 being sexual harrassment, so nah. Why spend time actually enjoying games when you can politicize and weaponize them through a forum?
That's far more interesting, i reckon.

Oh, do link to this! We need more exposure of those tragic folks that have such stark opinions yet have nothing IRL to go with.

Atleast he is not yet claiming to commit suicide like Maanvis or Nanashrew did.

And yes, that may sound like mockery, it isnt. I think its sad that these people feel depressed. At the same time the way they push that out is indeed laughable and warrants no sympathy points.

I might have him mixed up with someone else. He has 20k posts so I don’t want to sift through them to check. He has had a bunch of meltdowns in the past as you’ve already mentioned. I seem to recall there being more behind them but I could have him mixed up with one of their other looney people. There are so many.

I do find the issue way overblown and couldn't pesonally care less about the issue. However, I can understand the frustration somewhat, because it is a difference if someone decides to wear a tight outfit or if a character is designed with one with the intent of male gaze. In anime contexts, the skimpy outfits are often paired with rather disrespectful depictions that can carry sexist tendencies. It is not an issue where I can understand that people are as aggressive about it as many people on Resetera are in my observation, but it is not a made up issue (or necessarily a double standard when compared to allowing for tight outfits in reality).

"Sexist/disrespectful" is entirely dependent on the sensitivities of the person in question. What one person finds sexist or disrespectful, another will tell you to grow a spine and get over it. It is literally a made up issue only served to push ideological BS. No different then the right doing the same thing during the 90s and saying that games were too "lewd".

Well, feel free to not be concerned by it; I am not concerned about it either. But to disregard people's issues with it as baseless when it has a base you just feel is insufficient to justify the outrage (hence the thoughtful advice of growing a spine), is not fair.

Yoshi: Believes that public masturbation is normal and ok (even in front of children), but understands people not wanting an imaginary cartoon character to wear hot pants. He sympathises with that.

I never said it's normal, I said public masturbation should not be illegal (in isolation). There is a very, very large gap between things I can understand why someone would not like them and things I think should be illegal, and still a pretty large gap between what I find OK and what I think should be illegal.

I appreciate you combined my love for Yoshi and Sonic in an adorable piece of Paint art though.

Why isn't Emily Rogers a mod anymore on Resetera Redneckerz ? I just noticed upon reading up on the Star Fox GP rumour stuff. Interesting though that Resetera seems to manage with people leaving mod team and not ending up banned, here it seems to be a very common case that people demodded leave or are shown the door right away.

Official Staff Communication
In this case there seems to be no legitimate reason to doubt Smollett's account of what happened. As such, any discussion of him faking the attack will be treated as victim blaming and actioned as such.

so if you don't buy the entire story then you are banned. Sorry no discussion on ERA unless its mod approved.

Even worse now the suspects are 2 black men. The thread is pretty funny actually and I feel bad for the poster Vognut who they were dogpiling, I hope he gets some sense and comes here to post.

Sitting on your ass posting 40+ posts per day on an Internet forum do actually affect you however. They demodded and banned you without a care so what have you been doing all these times?

Maybe you can now do something to be more productive and improve the real world?

No, a female video game character wearing pants or not is none of your concern, nor should be worth your time.

If you really want to help, go to women’s march for us. Trolling on a message board and bashing Japanese game designs is wasting everyone’s time.

Hope you are doing better with this time off from that toxic forum.

Another doozy from Reset

so if you don't buy the entire story then you are banned. Sorry no discussion on ERA unless its mod approved.

This guy called them out:

Mods really need to own this shit and actually be transparent for a change.

Whatever way this whole things turns out, it's clear that there was a legitimate reason to doubt his account and no amount of censorship and thought-policing by the mods was going to change that.

This type of heavy-handed moderation is a poison on this forum and some heads really should roll over it.

Probably gonna cop a ban over this, but whatever. It will just go to illustrate my point even more.

How do the little helpers respond:

Well glad you're happy to believe shit when it supports your own narrative

There was never any reason to doubt his story besides wanting to shit all over minorities and looking at the bullshit reporting today that seems to continue

This is just like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin where the second the media gets a hold of any kind "dirt" they are happy to run with it and people like you make it all to easy. Absolutely disgusting

You're seriously garbage and should never post here again. You are not welcome.

Except at the time none of this information was available so the mod post still stands. At that point it was just baseless conspiracy theory shit. Now we have new, conflicting information in regard to the original reporting. But there's too much contradictory information out there, so it's still a "wait and see" basis before anything we delve into "it's a hoax".

If people cannot understand why baseless internet detective work that requires disbelieving a potential victim is harmful in a thread about a minority involved in some sort of hate crime.. then I'm not really sure what else to say.

So.. no, I see no reason why "heads really should roll over it".

And bonus Ree:

All of ya'll that want to blame victims and doubt stories can just go to the old place, you know. They'll welcome you with open arms. You can even talk shit about Era in the OT they have just to talk shit about Era.

Ya'll ain't fooling anybody with this worry about mods here.

Garbage people are garbage. Go where like calls to like.

I love how they all #waitandsee with this case. But with literally any other story with little evidence or leaks that doesn't fit the narrative it's, 'fuck this rapist" or 'fuck these bigots' or 'fuck these racists' .
It's all so fucking funny yet sad to watch.

What's funnier is they know that we and many other places are all out here laughing at them.

You're not pointing out any inconsistency in behavior. It's always been about believing the alleged victim and giving their claims the benefit of the doubt over any accused aggressor.

An admin just put out a statement.

Everyone calm down, any further hostility will be met with appropriate action. As of right now, there remains no reason to doubt that Smollett was attacked and according to the police he is not under investigation in any way. Like Royalan said earlier, as new facts become known, feel free to discuss them. Unless legitimate information comes out to the contrary, any talk of him faking the attack will be treated as victim blaming and actioned as such.

Just kidding. It's just another lunatic who believes video game characters are being oppressed by the virtual Taliban.
