ty for the responses. To me trolling used to mean tricking or trying to bait someone into saying or doing something in order to ridicule them (see master sasha baron cohen), but now it seems to be synonymous with piece of shit internet gremlin.

I mean, wasn’t there a thread a few days ago of someone who made another account on Era and got banned just to see how far the process would go? I’ve also seen a few users here saying the have alternative accounts. Not saying they plan on doing what the Koko person did.

You all may not do what the user that just got ban did but some of you do try to fuck with them in other ways.

Hell, there was a user here who created a thread on Era that made the users there go crazy with their hypocrisy.

Edit: don’t want to come off as harsh

Xaero Testosterone’s thread was trolling us, not them.

Here, there’s no rule against posting on both, so yes people will openly admit they have accounts over there. If you’re over there and they find out you’re posting here, you will get banned.

Receipts for the other claims please.

Earlier in this thread there was a user who created a thread on Era where he did a social Experiment where he claimed that his entire family was conservatives and were taking care of him because he wasn’t doing too hot financially but was conflicted because they were conservatives.

Era did Era where they told him to ditch his family or just to use them for their money and all that dumb Era shit.

I’m not going back to Era to find that shit. It happened and I found about it threw this thread.

It has been that way in the context of the internet for nearly two decades.

Just as Trap has a vastly different meaning depending on if you are talking about anime or LGBT+.

How much support did it get? I vaguely remember it. Don’t recall if anyone cared.

I’m looking for the actual thread on Era and how many “pragmatic” things these fuckers need to talk about? Like fucking shit move on with your life and try being happy. ******* would be fucking amazing if you weren’t so focused on hating them.

I digress.

To answer your question, I don’t know the answer. I honestly didn’t pay any of it any mind besides the posts made in this thread and even then I didn’t care. My memory was jogged about it in the reply you originally quoted.

I’m only going to search up to 100 pages for that thread. After that and for my personal sanity I’m not going to look for the thread anymore.

Sounds like more of a KiwiFarms thing than a GAF thing. You sure it was here? Was it a regular member?

Nah I remember it too, vaguely, but I don't remember it being a big deal. Just someone engaging in shits n gigs for the lulz. It was also quite a while ago when the wounds were fresher.

I don’t know what KiwiFarms is and yeah it was here.

I use to come here every so often for different opinions on different matters if that subject was covered here.

Edit: Papa Papa i didn’t find anything on Era about the thread I spoke of. I started searching this thread to find the post I mention to see if I can find the thread that way.

I remember it happening after Etika’s death so I started at that point and I’m page 310. If I don’t find a link to the thread I was talking about feel free to write me off as some hack making claims.

Also, Kokonoe was posting on Gaf before his ban just a short while ago. He was in pages 305 and 306 where some users even asked him about the Etika stuff you brought up and he gave his answer and the Gaf users accepted it and continue talking with him normally. He was probably caught off guard when you brought up the Etika stuff again. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Thought you might be interested for whatever reason.

So... are we still getting any dirt? I'm all for people throwing around a (legitimate) controversy of the site for the popcorn potential, even if it's only motivated by pettiness over a ban.

It wasn’t just the Etika thing. Look at his other behaviour when he was active on Ree. Constantly on the hunt for bigots to cancel. Fuck that.

I remember something like that. The guy was brazilian, his family supported Bolsonaro and they were angry at him because he was spilling some left wing bullshit. It happened during last year election.
Ree told him to pretend to be right wing and get as much money as possible from his family. And then bail out.

His family is nice and supportive but he wants to ask Era if he should abandon them.

Typical replies:
“If they're supporting you financially, get as much money out of them as you can and then sever.”
“Sounds like you need them. Until you can actually be independent and live without them, then continue to take advantage of their support.”


Papa Papa this is the thread I was talking about.

Papa Papa and the OP for that thread and his reasoning for creating it.

I made that post, not to troll era, but to see what kind of mentally ill cult-like responses I would get. I set it up in a way where "OP" had a great supportive family with a sibling that loved him and parents that included and financially supported him. I also tossed in the extended family as well. "OP" didn't even have that one obnoxious uncle that makes fun of the liberal. His entire family was loving and supportive. The only "issue" is that they are Trump supporters.

My point was to see how absolutely deranged people on those forums are. As we saw, multiple posters recommend "OP" completely cut off ties from his loving and supportive family solely because they had different political views. Clown world indeed.



This pretty much nails it.

🤷🏽‍♂️ I don’t know who any of you are. I remember that thread in a post and that the OP of the resetera thread posted here and Matt asked for receipts. So I found it. You all can judge the data how you see fit. I proved I wasn’t spreading bullshit and that’s all I care about.

Meh. I think that’s quite different to what Koko was trying to do here. He was threatening to post dirt and sow discord here, essentially salting the earth. 48086 48086 was just testing the salinity of the already salted earth over there.

That’s a fair take. In my defense, I barely remember that era thread, it’s context, and it’s OP reasoning for it not to mention that I didn’t care about any of it as it was happening. So when I brought it up, all I remembered was that it happened and the OP posted in this thread.

It's funny when an era member comes to Gaf and comes straight to this thread. Its always a red flag. Why don't they search for a nice gaming thread and talk some fun games? It'll make it seem like they actually enjoy gaming or something nice. Naw it's always drama for them. Im not sure if kokohoe came straight here but gosh damn was he embarrassing.

You have nothing to worry, you are cancelled since 2009 anyway.

It happened a month or so ago. Was posted in this thread

GAF is a collection of users. If Evilore or the mods aren't behind it, I wouldn't hold GAF responsible, just the individual user. Just like I wouldn't hold era responsible for certain things, but do hold them responsible for how the admins react to things and the culture the admins foster

Posted on reddit/emulation a thread to question what is the difference between a homebrew and a commercial emulator, without promoting any piracy and it got immediately deleted without any warning or message. Do I have to be a pal with the mods over there to post threads?

I think Reddit is worse than RE.

Basically if it isn't those "classic" fresh memes or tits Reddit don't care and will remove that shit asap. Something to do with advocating piracy or the likes.

Reddit mods also delete negative Resetera stories too. All cut from the same SJW cloth.

I didn’t know that. I actually thought he was serious.
You can safely assume that anyone who has more than 40 posts in any of the meta threads are at most, like, serious only about 37.4% of the time.

Especially if the post contains any or all of the following words: "hey", "tyler", "borrowing", "cunt", or "SuperKyro".

Please use this advice only for evil, thanks.

I sent a message to a subbreddit mod asking why thread was deleted without any reason or excuse and after a while it gets restored without any answer from mods. Apparently mods think they can do whatever they want, betting on the fact that few users will react and will just not dare to complain further for fear of a ban.

If it wasn't restored, I wouldn't have bothered anyway since it would not be worth it and I'd appear as the problematic guy
