I lost my best friend and the first woman I properly loved

I just want to preface this by saying that I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm very aware of how I was wrong in this situation, what I should have done and what I should do now. This is a situation I've been dealing with for the past 14 months or so, and haven't been able to speak to anyone about...

This pathetic home wrecker LOL what a victim.

At some point today ResetEra Gaming Forum will officially cancel South Park. They're a bit slow on the uptake, so there's no thread yet:

‘South Park’ Mocks Trans Athletes

'South Park' used the late Randy Savage for some woke culture satire, somewhat mocking trans athletes in Wednesday's episode.

Dunno why but the fact it's on RetardEra just makes these "botched relationship" posts so compelling.

Keep in mind that he NEVER actually slept with this woman.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone but I honestly cannot understand the levels of social ineptitude required to be in a relationship this intense with someone and somehow not bang.
You split up with your partner of 8 years after a kiss and a few texts. Meanwhile she is probably still getting nailed regularly by the husband. Fucksakes.

Then comes the anticipation of scrolling through the replies hoping to see some quality input from one of the usual suspects.

A few wee gems:
Teriyaki Blues: A woman verbally told you not to kiss her and you did it anyway? Aside from all the other stuff, you also committed sexual assault.

Alice: I don't like this "You got involved with a Married woman!" narrative. Too much of it relies on the belief that she's somehow her husband's possession that he got involved with.

Two things here that would get me banned on Era for sure.
First. Pics or GTFO. The ONLY appropriate response to these kinds of threads.
Second. Dude, if you are going to go through all of this shit for A GODDAMN YEAR you need to AT LEAST get laid.

He went through all that and never even got the ride! That's the saddest part here.

The Ricky Gervais thread is a treat:

Ricky Gervais returning to host The Golden Globes

https://deadline.com/2019/11/ricky-gervais-host-golden-globes-2020-nbc-hfpa-1202783565/

www.resetera.com

I fucking LOVE how the narrative is that "he only has one joke".

Dude has made himself a millionaire from doing stand up and TV but of course he just has that one joke.

Probably one of the most successful comedians in the world. "He's not funny".

It's like a self fulfilling prophecy too. A bunch of annoying twats online keep banging on about "I identify as..." so what is more than likely the first thing he says to open the awards?

How much would you crack up if Gervais comes out to host the Golden Globes wearing a dress and a wig?

I've fucked married women, who knew the "bored housewife" trope was actually real? They came after me, we fucked, had our fill and moved on. There was none of this hand wringing doomed by circumstance romance that guy has to justify NOT FUCKING. For context it was through dating apps, no other connection, I didn't know the guys and from what these women told me it was a dead bedroom situation. No daily texting, just arranging the hookups driven by thier side.

I would have thought that "she broke the law so tear her apart in the the streets or lock her up and throw away the key" would be much more of a right-wing stance?

Don't right wingers tend to be in favor of the death penalty while left wingers tend to be against it?
So it's strange to see them flip to a kind of right wing stance based solely on the races of the people involved in the incident.

I think this has more to do with them being authoritarian then them being leftwinged. These are not progressives, not liberals, just super authoritarian regressives.

It's always been one of my favorite aspects of ReetardEra.
The "Gamers Are the Worst" people.

OK so you spend all this money on consoles and PCs and games and you spend time playing them and every day log on to a site dedicated to talking about them but you aren't a "gamer". Hell no. You're soooooo above that.

It's fucking hilarious.

So, I wouldn't ever self-identify as a "gamer" why would I?
I understand that it's a common phrase for someone who plays videogames though so I wouldn't be very anxious about being labelled that way.

Basically the community is too broad to comfortably fit into categories and so it is almost impossible to control opinion and viewpoints. Soooo let's just throw EVERYONE under the bus! Gamers are the worst! Not me though. I mean, I play videogames but I'm not a "gamer". FFS.

It’s the new form of cultural snobbery. It used to be that you would signal your consumer superiority by buying a nice car or expensive clothes and thru your choice of product you showed off your superior taste.

How to do that when you aren’t consuming anything different than the “riff raff”? If you like a comic book movie liked by hundreds of millions there has to be a way to stand out. Thus the need to single out and castigate “Toxic” Bad Consumers in order to demonstrate what a Good Consumer you are.

So we have Game Journalists that think gamers is a dirty word, movie critics who sincerely tell people that they are “bad at watching movies”, etc. All to Consumer Singal that you are the superior (non-“toxic”) consumer.

Basically the same old egotist dick measuring over things you buy, now with added social justice dopamine (cos marketing)

Haha but it is the first person who posted in this thread. Pull teeth lol

Cheebo defending Rian again by dismissing concerns of actual black posters and saying that racists didn’t really go after John Boyega!

Nearly all of the racism is targeted at Kelly Marie Tran not Boyega in my experience.

Wonder how this white male message board poster experiences racism. No matter, he’s the expert! Shut up, black man!

One of you guys or gals with an account there should pop into the South Park thread, and tell them they are missing the forest through the trees. South Park was not only ridiculing the cheating in sports, but their entire board, with a positive vision that one day their community will grow up and recognize nuance. From beginning to end, there was a theme about the PC Babies (special intro and all) who can grow up and begin recognizing nuance.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

The episode isn't transphobic even a little. I just watched it. It simply addresses the problem of trans women competing against "cis" women. (I hate that phrase) It points out how fucking ridiculous it is that a woman who spent the majority of her life as a man can beat the shit out of women but we are all supposed to be okay with it. Ever notice you don't see it the other way around? Trans men competing in male sports? Of course not. They'd get their shit kicked in.

I have a question. Do all the devs and people from Digital Foundry etc post over at that pedo ring?

Yup, I took it that way: not everything is black and white and because trans people have it tough does not make everything they do right. And we should not be scared to speak up and have a discussion when we think something is wrong even if the subject is a 'victim' class.

This guy in RE thread gets it:

They used an over the top ridiculous example with the athlete to show that sometimes there might be topics we should be able to discuss without it immediately making someone transphobic.

Reply to it:

Its poorly done and still transphobic so what does any of the context add?

Exactly demonstrating the point! Amazing really.

Gaza death toll rises to 21 as Israel confronts militant rocket fire

Any thread on this? Lots of news and tweets going on. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/13/gaza-death-toll-rises-israel-confronts-islamic-jihad-militant-rocket-fire https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/11/israel-targeted-killings-latest-updates-191112062846745.html

www.resetera.com

They're mad at Israel (probably again), simply for fighting back when rockets are being indiscriminately shot into Israel. Bonus outrage too - Mayor Pete now sucks because he agrees that if Palestinians shoot rockets at Israel, then Israel has the right to fire back. Guessing someone will soon explain that when rockets come from Gaza, that is punching up, but rockets from Israel are punching down, so Israel should just take it on the chin.

 

[Tesseract]

gaza rockets are just bottle rockets tho, shut up and get gibbed

I guess they reject the South Park message. In the first two hours of the thread, the mods banned 1 guy, warned a second, and locked the thread cause "This thread is locked while we catch up on reports. "

But that "we need to talk about how to respond to trans issues" topic that nobody but trans and the trans butt kissers want to post in has been bumped again. They are still demanding the mods make an official statement to them.

The last trans athlete thread I saw there came with a disclaimer that basically it’s accepted science that a transitioned trans person has no physical advantage over a biological woman and anyone suggesting otherwise would be dealt with accordingly...I didn’t bother reading the evidence they posted, just noped out that thread

This is going to be a good one. The trans, real and fake, have completely taken over the OT there.

 

[BadBurger]

If those advocating for the inclusion of trans women in competitive sports read the actual science they might change their tune. But we know they never will. They want to feel the truth, not acknowledge the facts.

I remember one of those threads. They quote a small excerpt from an old published study regarding bone and muscle mass after a certain duration of decreased testosterone / treatments. It's outdated and the science has been updated in many published studies since then. If one attempts to point that out, even pays to download the peer-reviewed studies and summarizes the findings, I am sure they'd be perma banned.

JFC...I was not prepared.

they kept using “we, us, they” and I just figured it was trans nonsense.

Turns out they’re referring to their “head mates.” Which is the politically correct way of saying they have multiple personalities inside them that form the singular person they are. One of these personalities is also a trans feminist.

I genuinely got upset at this one and closed the tab. Poor fella.

No. And now we have the South Park thread where people are once again dismissing transphobia, telling us we're wrong and in one asshole's case LITERALLY ADMITTING TO MOCKING US FOR LAUGHS.

I'm getting really close to "fuck this place, I'm out" status.

Hillary + South Park is really doing a number on that place rn

It's not the job of those oppressed to be the teachers.

also i don't get this sentiment. at all. it is TOTALLY your job to do this. trans folks are constantly telling cis people to shut up about trans issues, that only leaves trans folk free to do the educating. if cis people are ignorant then where else are they supposed to learn this shit?

but apparently teaching is "a job" and jobs are bad! so i guess nobody should be speaking on trans issues! not cis folks. not trans folks (not their job). imagine living in that world!
