A mod has now edited the reference to Gaf out of this post.
 
Trump reelected wouldn't be as fun as a democrat actually winning and Era (extremely likely) turning mad at him after a week or two.

Imagine Mayor Pete is elected, I bet Rera would be full of homophobia no longer even trying to masquerade as whitephobia in an heartbat...
Or even funnier Sanders actually winning, and not being able to implement every detail of his program, or just giving priority to serious socio-economic reforms over identity politics...
Not even speaking about a creepy Biden victory (as he won't win anyway), that would likely make half the forum say they regret Trump after being triggered by his oppressing patriarchal cuddling fetish.

I think Rera has even more potential if democrats win.
God no...it’s what started the whole downward spiral

things appear to be predictable when you guys have a republican president (I’m Aussie) as it’s pretty much guns/war/oil....in the case of trump people just hate him as he is dumb and arrogant.

democrat presidents seem to empower a worse kind of idiot...pretty much what grew here and was cut out and formed reeee

I like ree in its current form..it’s popcorn entertainment

Why do they care if people are discussing their conversation? It's a fucking discussion forum. We're not talking high stakes or deep importance here.

Maybe not. But maybe a law about literal fake news. Like not being allowed to say something as news when its not real?
yes let's have a law where the government is directly in control of dictating what is real and fake news.

They really seem to like authoritarian regimes controlling people as long as their cohort is in power. Same thing happened in the meeting of resetera’s Black leaders, they wanted people hunted down and if they’re friends with “problematic” folks then they get permanent ban due to guilt by association.

What do you think a "safe space" is?

From the start, they weren't making these safe spaces and standing up for themselves, they were demanding that the authority figures invest the effort and make the safe spaces for them, as if this was something owed to them on the merit of their position on the oppression hierarchy. What, you're telling me you don't have safe spaces? You must be one of those deplorables who normalizes and provides a platform for hate speech, obviously.

I said it awhile ago, but the easiest way to get rid of these screechers would be to give them their own city/country and declare "the most oppressed person gets to be the supreme ruler". Nature takes care of the rest.

It's incredible that much like Taysan, they don't seem to understand that the internet is public and not some sectioned off safe space. You can't leak info you're publicly posting....

It takes a special kind of stupidity to be this oblvious about public threads!

I wonder if she’ll flash her big ole untrimmed James Corden in a gruesome dance routine?

And yeah, I think Trump being in office actually helps keep the REEEjects united (somewhat), as they can all point at Trump and be confidant the rest will have their back. It's not a surprise that the most bans come from the Politics threads where they are literally only discussing OTHER Democrats.

Oh OH!

We do not provide a platform for Jordan Peterson or his content. This thread is locked for that reason, but we will continue to review reports from this thread.

They're getting serious! They locked the thread, oh man. Love that place.

Actually it's not necessarily a big deal, we have a rule against spreading false rumors since 1881 in France, as part of the one that allowed free press, and it's just totally inefficient.

Even in the newspapers era it never worked to stop a rumor, the few cases where autorities felt it was a good idea to use it (no more than 60 or so in 1,5 century iirc), the damage was already done as rumors travel far faster than people establishing the truth, people verifying what was writen, and then courts or autorities to enforce "the truth", it just allowed to make a few editors pay fines months after publishing false stories. Even in the rarer cases a newspaper could be immediatly censored it only generated Streisand effect (the most famous case in the XIXth century, a rumor about blonde girls being kidnapped in some dress stores to be sold as slaves to the Ottomans, actually spread and survived for decades despite the first paper mentionning it being immediatly censored, mostly because it was mentionned in the then trial where it was condemned for spreading this false story, then quoted by other papers commenting the trial).
Another point was that in more than half the cases the trials were won by the defenders arguing their good faith as you can't retroactively punish people for not knowing the truth, and it quasi requires mind reading to prove people to have been willingfully spread lies, with sometimes the side effect of making public believe fake news spreaders were considered not guilty because they were right. Was so counter-productive that in the 30 last years, despite the explosion of fake news, that still existing law has not been invoked more than 2 or 3 times (and only for completely fabricated news with proofs of intent like altered photos).
(still it didn't dissuade Macron to make a new law against fake news in 2018, this time to punish people spreading them to influence political campaigns, law that likely won't work / will only be counter-productive for a power wanting to use it, for same reasons, it's why I know the precedents well, we just had this debate 2 yrs ago)

To resume, even ignoring the possibility of malevolent political exploitation of an anti fake news law, imagining that a law that couldn't work in the XIX/XXth century for national newspapers in a medium sized country, would be able to squash fake news in internet era and for the USA is ResetEra level of insane.

I had a black cat, guess what 6-year-old-me named it? BLACKIE. I guess I was racist from a young age.

They were obviously "voting against their own best interests", the go-to excuse for mind readers who know what is best for minorities that they've never met.

Nope, they don't exist, only "white" working class voters exist, those millions of rural Blacks don't exist, give those jobs to the immigrants. '

If anything the amount that will vote for Trump will double in 2020, I was looking at some local videos filmed in a few rural areas about how people were lining up for jobs because Trump send guys in to round up the illegals out of factories, manufacturing, farms, and welding, because...

Oops, I mean Illegals are more American than you are. You should allow them on your lawn.

You reveal your bigotry by calling them "illegals". They are "undocumented dreamers".

oh yeah there is widespread erasure of black Americans outside the major cities. the way libs talk about the south and rural areas, it's like they think literally everyone living there is a white racist. cos to be honest the people making that assumption are probably living in Portland or Canada or Denmark or some other socialist paradise that IS almost entirely white.

more than half of the black American population lives in the South. every idiot going on about rural southern racists needs to consider this.

it's the divide and conquer strategy the rich have used since forever. in order to prevent class solidarity, push racial divisions. Identity Politics being so huge, the online left has fallen for the old trick hook, line, and sinker.

i had a female dog which fur was black and her name was 'pantera' (panther). how racist was that name?

Lowest of the low. At least own your racism by not being so cryptic. Of course, they would probably double down because of the band Pantera (awesome band btw). Pantera = panther = black = racist. Pantera = Phil Anselmo (ERA hates him as well lol) = racist. Lose/lose.

Of course, I'm being facetious....but unfortunately....it's not beyond their mental gymnastics.

Cool name by the way.
 
Excelspreadsheet is at it again


Clearly, the Hollywood Academy needs more trans women to finally make some award winning screenplays. CIS women just aren't cutting it these days.
Oh man imagine if JK Rowling wins best screenplay for something. Excel would spontaneously combust

Not surprising. It's mostly a bashing thread anyway. Anyone who praises him or even shows some common sense is banned.

It's funny because for a long time back in the day I felt like "SonyGAF" tried to stifle any Xbox stuff here, did it flip over there?
Seems they give Nintendo fanboys more leeway.
Just in the other page I posted a pic of the biggest Nintendo fanboy there making a racist joke, and he only got 3 days, when most would get perma.

I don't think so. I still think it's still heavily weighted toward Sony bias. However, I think PC, of all platforms, is actually starting to take over there. As for Microsoft, I believe Nintendo has more of a presence than they do, still. All it takes is a Nintendo direct.

depends on the game: try talking about xenoblade chronicles 2 and dem tities blades.

How could that be? Didn't ERA cull pretty much the entire PC group over there a few months ago? I seem to recall arguments over the Epic Game Store, mods picking a side, favored members getting banned, and the rest fleeing to a discord channel or something.

Yeah true.
It can be case by case, and the mods might have a few that have special treatment.
But lately seems sony users been getting banned left and right.

PC ERA is dead or close to it.
The mods made sure of that.
