Yeah, the movie sucked. And another poster basically expressed as much. Then there were all these indignant replies or people going "go on..." and I'm like...ok I know what the fucks are doing. They're baiting. They want this to become that conversation about representation and all I was trying to say is hey that's horseshit, you're allowed to have an opinion on the quality of the film without getting into this other debate about representation. I even specifically said I liked all the actresses in the movie and think they're funny, they were just in a shitty movie. Well take a month off for that...ugh, no, I'm good. It's almost funny to me if it weren't so incredibly stupid. But oh well.

Yeah, they were making an example of you. Basically a warning to others.

I would say a big attraction of discussing movies online is the arguments and heated debates. I'd rather see two people argue and fight over a movie than see people tip-toe around the subject because they are scared the Eye of Sauron will catch them saying something inappropriate.

Problem is that they can't handle robust debate over there so there has to be a way to say not only are you wrong, but you are bad and you need to take a month off to think about how bad you are.

Well what sucks is it's not like the answer to the Era bullshit is to become a Trumper or MRA or some red pill nonsense like that. But feeling unfairly maligned for something I don't think I actually did or said does make me stop and question some shit. People are real quick to railroad everyone and "cancel" people for wrongthink and it's like...dude not everything is coming from a place of malice. Sometimes you bump into someone on accident, but you're not committing assault. My post may have been worded poorly, it may have been taken the wrong way, etc. And I think that's all I'm possibly guilty of, but, welp, not really able to defend myself or talk to anyone about it because they just fucking banned me for a month. So, cool. That helps me understand why I was wrong? And the "any similar infractions" warning? Y'all can get fucked if you're going to put words in my mouth and then tell me you'll punish me if you do it again. That's what really obnoxious about it because that's how abusers act: YOU made me do this to you. No, bitch, you're doing this because you don't understand what I was saying and can't be bothered to get off your high horse to try.

Ehh between gaf, discord, and reddit, I see no use for era.

Not sure if this is the right thread but I recently got into this Japanese comic called Berserk, thanks to the OT on GAF.

Thought I’d share some shots, you guys may enjoy the vibe.

Their policies have had a significant effect on the quality of discussion. I came back here in May because it was becoming difficult to find interesting topics on their gaming forum (I don't have a hazmat suit good enough to survive in their off-topic forum). Even though they have a large active user count, the Gaming threads were either non-offensive circle jerks or fast-moving outrage threads over the controversy du jour. If you weren't into those threads, there wasn't much happening. The decline was noticeable.

They also banned a lot of the PC-centric posters during the EGS intro phase and one of the PC-friendly mods left, so all the PC settings threads disappeared and activity in the monthly PC OTs slowed.

I remember my breaking point was going into a Rage 2 thread to check a trailer out, but most of the discussion was bitching about the marketing not emphasizing that you could play as a female character. It shouldn't be that hard to talk about games on a "Gaming" forum.

And like god forbid if someone tells people to chill and stop getting their panties in a bunch about every tiny issue. We musn't be dismissive!! Actually yes, we should be and dumb shit should get ridiculed. That's real life.

I got a permanent ban from there because I said I didn't care about the dev's struggle with keeping a non toxic community because I enjoyed their game(Mordhau) enough and can separate the art from the artist, even though I think the whole thing was overblown. The ban also says I was known to ignore racism in other threads...the only other thread was when I talked about how I enjoyed the Cinemassacre youtube channel and didn't care about Mike Matei's supposedly racist comic. I said it didn't effect my enjoyment. I find it utterly insane that causes a permanent ban. That's how much of a nazi regime that place is

I'd also like to add that I think it's pathetic that game devs and writers for gaming websites actually take that forum seriously and respect their opinions. They must be very naive to think opinions there match all other gamer's opinions. I don't get it

I seriously don't know if I'll endure being part of ERA any longer. I usually avoid the controversial topics because moderation is madness on there, but the one time I spoke my opinion in one of those; and prefacing I was part of the minority being discussed first; I got banned for a month. Looks like minorities opinions are only considered godly in ERA when you are in the side of their hive mentality.

Damn, I just want an active gaming forum with non-insane moderators. Is that too much to ask?

Yeah, they're definitely a little to friendly the gaming media over there and pretty quick to ban for finding fault with an article or video. I'm sure the devs are trying to reach an audience, but the media types probably stick around because it's one of the few places that takes them seriously.

Yep, this pattern has been observable for quite a while. Don't get down on yourself. Your sense of trust and your goodwill toward like-minded people were both being taken advantage of by a cult.

They don't even wait a week for clone topics, someone makes a hugbox topic that gets replies and there will be two or three right there with it in a day.

It is damaged and cracked individuals wanting attention and affirmation. Especially when they see other OPs get more sympathy and reactions

OMG this thread is gold... Look at those bans. HAHAHAHA!!!!! Gotta white knight for Lady Gaga so she will fuck you!!!!


That thread is the one who got me to reconsider if even just watching from the sidelines is even worth it. The same users derail every damn thread with the usual bullshit and it goes from hilarious to depressing after a few pages. No replying to them, though. Might get banned again for derailing the thinly-veiled CDPR cancellation OTs.

I am entirely convinced that the entirety of the reset admin and moderation team is made up of drag queens, black militants, Asperger shut ins, and white panty wearing cucks.

An Artist's depiction of the average ResetEra user

"Calling out a twitch girl for behaving badly?????? Not on my watch, asshole. You will not speak so lowly of m'lady, Alinity. She is pure and can do no wrong. She does not deserve jealous and petty drivel from neanderthals such as yourself! I suggest you walk away before I overpower you with my MASSIVE intellect. You cannot win this fight, so I suggest you leave my QUEEN alone before you bring out my dark side......"
-Quote from random ResetEra User (2019) dramatized



As you can see in my examples and sources above, the infamous members of ResetEra (affectionately known as 'REEEEEEEEEEEEEE') are something straight out of a nature documentary. There is something so shocking, yet fascinating, about these weird individuals. One person (from a site known as NeoGAF) compared them to a 'train wreck'. "You want to look away, but you can't help but watch on with morbid curiosity," they say. A train wreck they are, indeed.

The thought process and functionality of the users at ResetEra are debated by hundreds. How do they survive in the real world? Do they even know what sexual intercourse is? There is speculation that many of them are what is fondly known as a 'nice guy'; which is someone who puts up a facade of being a studious gentleman with full intentions of trying to have sexual relations with the woman they are referring/talking to.

I will post more of my observations on this group as my studying continues.

Resetter has a run in with the law,

Reminder, Neogaf is committed to the safety of not just Conservatives & Trump Supporters, but ALL people who are forced to live under SJW terror.

If you think these people are unhinged because they dislike our political beliefs, then imagine how they react to their own children.

Do not be afraid to report any Reset member you suspect of engaging in criminal activity. You are not just saving the life of a Conservative, you are saving anyone being terrorized by SJWs.

Here is why this thread will entertain me is this.... if the thread was "MY NEIGHBOR YELLS AT THEIR KID ALL THE TIME WHAT SHOULD I DO" the responses would almost to the last be to report them, they are abusing the child, bad for the child blah blah blah.
BUT because this is a fellow member of the ReeeeeeSect they will coddle them and tell them that it is all a mistake and that nosy neighbors are terrible an should mind their business.

Edit: Well fuck this did not take long

You know what, the OP there is showing classic abuser behaviour. Gets called out and then HE'S the victim somehow, "he's really really upset". How the fuck does his daughter feel being stuck at home with a manchild with anger issues.

SJW's continue pushing to abolish the electoral college so they can have their popular vote dictatorship.

SJW's cannot elections fairly, so they have to resort to cheating to win. If they get power, they'll abolish the electoral college and grant amnesty to the 10 million illegals living in the U.S.

Republicans would never be able to win elections again.

That is the American way. The legal system works until you do not like the result. Capitalism works but only if it works for you

I honestly think their nothing like that. Maybe a few but the rest are probably straight white males with a huge identity problem. They probably have no job, no social life and are mentally unstable. Nothing wrong with that tho but they start to show cult-like behaviour

doesn't that apply to literally every poster still here too lol

It apllies to me too. Well I do have a job but not much of a social life, mental issues, white and straight. But I have passed the age to be outraged about everything. Also I dont experience such a huge collective madness here as at Era.
I mean its good fighting the good fight but somebody has to tell them their way past being reasonable already. Since nobody is allowed to tell ‘m that it will only get worse until the forum implodes.. give it some time.
