True. That was me a few days ago. Think I'm just going to request a perma there when they unban my account in a week. Fuck their insanity.
Guess I'm alt right now for being here. Not sure how I'm gonna tell my family. /s

At the end of all this I want to know how many rabble-rousers from GAF and other sites are planting bait over there. I assume it’s a few, but it’d be even funnier if all those insane posts are real.

I hope none of our regulars here are getting directly involved and stirring the pot because the place is a ticking time bomb and we’re better off sitting back and laughing as they implode themselves. However, I’ve no doubt some probably are, but there’s nothing we can do about it because that’s the nature of anonymous forums. Ree is so crazy and loud that they’ve painted a huge target on their backs for the entire internet though.

Well said daddy Matt.

The users aren't doing so great either:
When people say Resetera is an asylum, it's not a joke. It's incredible how many people in there claims have some sort of mental issue. People who really need help but instead they discuss their problems on a "videogame" forum with even more insane people than them.
 
I wish the people on ResetEra take a step back and look at what other people are saying about them. I've checked various sites and majority say they're crazy SJWs with a side of pedophilia and a dash of terrible moderation. I mean why do they continue creating their own version that they're okay (aside from questioning the moderation)? Old GAF was hated upon, nowadays not so much, just a few people grouping NeoGAF with ResetEra.

Edit: also funny thought - if accusations are evidence (which lead to the truth) according to them, then them being accused (by the majority) as insane SJWs with a side of pedophilia are evidence which lead to the truth. :p

Other than specific journalists and people in the industry who also bow to the same twitter cult mob, not a single third party really has a remotely positive opinion of Era that I heard. And typically those aformentioned groups have a presence on Era.

It's almost like... those three vectors are all the same.

You can’t make fun of Nintendo over at Reee. Otherwise there are dire consequences.

Yea the story going around was that Cerium and Shinobi thought this place became too pro-Sony and began thinking up Era as a safe space to praise Nintendo. When Nintendo fired their in-house hooker Maria Mint, and they believed the mods didn't control the narrative here enough, that set them off to make the forum.

Serebii runs the biggest Pokemon site online. Of course he's protected as the forum was made to be a safe space for Nintendo.

He is well know for mocking, offending and using disability slurs over the internet. But when someone offended him, they made a thread to defend him. I bet he could be a nazist and no one would bother.
 
Well, it's true that there's too much Sony-boys on Neogaf. 🤷‍♀️

But Serebii is scum who abuses his power (literal largest Pokemon site in the world!) to protect gamefreak. It's disgusting.

I think there are just more people who own Sony products, which jives with worldwide sales of the two different platforms. GAF had front-row seats to the Adam Orth debacle so I expect there was a certain sense of satisfaction reliving those moments and dogging on Xbox.

But yeah, fanboys who nitpick over stupid things and champion a brand without critical examination are obnoxious. I don't think you can truly escape the phenomenon on an enthusiast site, though. A group of fans inevitably contain a subset of super-fans, and of those there is a subset of immature ones.

Well for a time this place was molded into a pro-Sony forum with a former mod who would ban Xbox posters claiming they were astrotufers while pushing and "verifying" complete bullshitters spreading FUD about the Xbox. It's similar to what happened in the OT around the election.

I remember. My original GAF account was banned for "vilifying games journalism" during that time period.
 
Remember when forum and social media moderation was about overt harassment, sustained insults, unfounded reputation assassinations, threats of violence, malice, sustained bullying, and unambiguous hateful behavior? Remember when the intention of the perpetrator was something moderation had to consider and used banning as a last tool to moderate issues? Remember when you couldn't flag someone for just giving you a disagreement and debate?

Remember when communities and the people who ran these communties took this shit seriously and just didn't place it into the whims of the most vocal complainants?

Wouldn't that be a case for the Ban Review thread?

I have not seen any indication here in terms of bans listed that the mods are one-sidedly protective of Nintendo though? Yes, Resetera is harsh when it comes to criticising developers (for issues other than representation / racism / sexism) but that, to my best knowledge, is universal over all developers. Nintendo has had their share of criticism for those specific matters over the years, be it Smash Bros representation, sexism in Fire Emblem or Xenoblade, so it is not like it is protected in that regard either. Also, Sony is still significantly more popular with Resetera users than Nintendo.
 
Sometimes I believe there are plants in Resetera that are actively working on giving trans people a worse image. This thread is so obnoxious, I just can't ...


And the first reply 🤦‍♀️

Cheebo posts thread with content from noted Trump platformer Jimmy Fallon. since it is in favor of Star Wars, he goes on castigating people for being cynical at this known media shill.

Ya'll need to learn to have fun. It's okay to be a little awkward and dorky sometimes. The word "cringe" is the cringiest thing about the internet lately.
I honestly don't even know how I would be able to function or enjoy life if I wasn't able to maintain being able to have fun and enjoy dorky dumb stuff. Being cynical sounds depressing lol.

of course if this was a Last Jedi review from some guy with a picture of a woman in the thumbnail Cheeb would be fuming at the mouth insisting it was platforming the alt right. yet he's cool giving a pass to the network that actively promoted Trump.

cos Cheebo is a full of shit consumer shill!

The cold reactions towards his postings are scary. A week ago he fought for the trans community. Now people are 'surprised you're still posting'. Wow - under the bus.

A Hero's only reward is another Twitter daily cancel/hate narrative to push.

I hope he remembers his lesson to not go off script.

Someone needs to post in that thread: "There's so much blowback because it is racist and sexist to value characters based on their immutable characteristics. Its time to stop projecting and acknowledge this simple truth."

"Tolerance" isn't the real deal though. That's acceptance.
I suspect the T In LGBT is not getting the same kind of growth.
Also:
Social tolerance toward minority groups increased in 111 of 167 countries over the last decade, and across every region except for Eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, it found.
For real. It's such an ugly word. "I guess we can start accepting you as one of us humans now. It's been long enough."
Tolerance is better than nothing, sure.
I'd rather be treatly equally, than merely 'tolerated'.

ugh, more good news about the standard of living on Earth improving, sigh

i'm so tired

You must not have paid attention enough. Or you're biased yourself.

Cerium is a HUGE Nintendo fanboy, Resetera is a Nintendo-centric forum at first and the staff is heavily biased toward it in return, to not upset their userbase. You'd be surprise at the shit you can get away with, just by wearing a Nintendo avatar.

I despise all fanboys (I forgive Steam fanboys <3), but I'm sure there's a special place in hell for the people who've been defending Nintendo those past 4 years.

Post about how Nintendo fired a hooker right before the Switch launch and see how long it takes before you get a perm ban.
