Just glanced over the last couple of pages, but lost interest quickly.

Is there ever not a drama on Era. Just one normal day when people chat the shit and maybe have a wee laugh with each other. Does that honestly ever happen.

During the year when I was a member there I truly do not remember a single day when I logged in and people were not scratching at each other's faces over something. Dealing with that nonsense must be absolutely exhausting for the dwindling band of normal human beings who still use the forum.

Only time I remember that place feeling like a normal gaming forum was around Directs for the first year. I shudder to imagine what those threads are like now. Can't say I miss the place.

Posters get banned for making jokes at Era. You really can't just chill and relax there even if you want to.

It's just such a toxic environment. And that's one of the words that a lot of people love to throw around over there. Toxic. They are either trolls who are taking the piss, or they simply can't see the basic fact that Era's is possibly the single most toxic environment you'll find in any gaming forum. The negativity, fighting, bitching and moaning is eternal.

It just. Never. Ends.

This thread (and the one before it) are actually kind of fascinating in the sense that you can click on any page and odds on you will find a unique drama boiling over on Era. It never ends.

I don’t browse or post on era much anymore but every time I go there traffic seems lighter and lighter. Is it me or is that place shrinking?

One think I'll never understand is why certain developers choose to even post there. You're practically begging for trouble if your game features something that doesn't immediately pander to these people.

What the fuck is mod-winning? Googled it and nothing came up.

Did they coin a phrase for users calling Mods on their bullshit so that they can ban them?
A lot of the terms used are stolen from mods here before the split. Mod whining, thread whining, concern trolling, etc.

The best is when they throw a bunch of random shit in the ban message. It’s like SJW bingo.

I'd say it had a purpose but the link between devs and fans broke with the split in 2017. Twitter and Reddit havr filled the void and i doubt people want to go back. We saw one of Insomniac's staff on Twitter almost going to town on their bullshit but restrained himself. With Remedy getting the big was of cash, I doubt they will go near ERA for promotion.

If I still had an account I would try and get Colin Moriarty's brick game to be Resetera's game of the year. Now that would be interesting.

It's not your imagination, ree has been trending downwards for months. Thanks to B Dubs for helping speed things up!

People are quarantining from the toxicity or their bans are starting to catch up.

Thought of a pretty good troll idea today. At the end of the year when they go their game of the year voting, everyone vote for Twin Breaker.

Another one that drank the Kool-aid and just keeps on going like the energizer bunny with their hatred and rage based on clickbait media manipulation. Damn that Trump putting those kids in cages he's HITLER!!!

Even fucking Snopes admitted it wasn't Trump but the Obama administration that created all the "concentration camps".


Meanwhile, someone decides to actually investigate a Trump administration detainment center. OH......

Era: Where innocence until proven guilty is an alt right talking point and a tool of patriarchy.

Wonder how historic civil rights leaders would respond to that... considering the history of mob lynchings outside of the law and on the presumption of guilt.

Does this mean they are even more and better progressives than historic civil rights leaders?

B-but Rachel Maddow L I T E R A L L Y cried! Obama is not capable of things like this! He's *ahem* one of them! He knows the oppression of P.O.C and he would never ever put one in a cage concentration camp!

It was trending downward for a while, but interestingly enough, unique posters over a 24 hour period seem to be up. Considering the pandemic, that isn't surprising, but I would expect it to be much higher than the slight uptick it's gotten.

For 99% of them on Ree this is the most actual life threatening thing they have so far encountered. Brought up on a diet of Social media they have to hype everything up ( Which isn't exclusive to REE obviously).

What is interesting to observe is the almost current lack of woke outrage topics, almost as if they actually have something real to worry about.

Popular topics now,

Fuck Trump
OMG I'm going to fucking die from the virus
Normal nerd forum stuff about games, TV and movies.

What I'm actaully shocked at is how none of the "Prominent members" have not contracted the virus or claimed to have. You could probably make a shortlist with a high degree of accuracy about who would be first to "Catch" it.

Last time I checked the definition, doesn't a hate site openly endorse death, sickness, and threats of physical violence on people? Are they banning anyone for this?

Yep, ResetEra is the textbook definition of a hate site by their members activities and the moderations quiet endorsement.

Isn't it sad and scary that they are everything they claim to hate?
Reeeeeee isn't a hate site because Republicans aren't people. Duh.

Oh sweet jesus, make it happen.

Trump brings out the accuser at the debate, Joe breaks down into an apocalyptic fit of rage and starts screaming at her.

SJW's will collectively rip their own hair out not knowing what to do.
What exactly is this thread? They started to spew some "believe all women" bullshit, when nobody said that they don't believe her. What the fuck.

It appears that posters can use the word cunt without fear of banning anymore.
SOME users. I remember them handing out bans for people saying the word cunt as it's misogynistic or something.

Is there ever not a drama on Era.
Nope. Look at this thread. It got rebooted back in Oct and it's right now at almost 300 pages already.
It's fun to look at the thread once in a while, catch up to what the current drama the nutcases are getting mad at and have a few laughs. If you get into this perpetual motion of checking on what today's resetera outrage is it can get exhausting, especially if you get invested in it.

Imagine people who unironically use resetera. It takes a special mindset to be able to be perpetually offended, scared, and/or outraged without any sort of break.

Well, many probably have caught it, but the symptoms just blurred in with the usual depression, out of shape shortness of breath, and vaping cough :p

Plus you gotta actually go out an interact with people to catch corona, not huddle in your parents basement doing online gig work and playing vidja games.

For sure. I support UBI, but that requires very strict border controls, and only Citizens should receive it.
Effective implementation of UBI might require some implementation of a universal government ID/digital account/tracking system which the more libertarian among us probably wouldn't like, as well.

On the other hand, a system like that would probably make it a lot easier to do your taxes or apply for government initiatives and programs. Estonia is on the right track on this front.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Nah, look at how all their polls completely backfire on them. They're there, they just know to keep their mouth shut.

Which is exactly the kind of online community people want to be a part of. Don't post anything or make any comments lest you want the crazies to turn on you.

Believe all women is one of the dumbest cliches ever. For one, it only matters what law enforcement believes, not random morons on the internet. Secondly, no one should just ever be "believed" for anything. They should be listened to and their claims should be followed up on and investigated, but that's precisely why there are investigations in the first place. If "believe all women" was taken literally, then there wouldn't be an investigation or trial. Woman accuses man of bad thing. He's detained and thrown in jail the next day.

No logical or reasonable human believes anything without all the facts. I don't care who it comes from. But especially not in terms of legal or criminal realms.

I agree, I just wondering what sparks the motivation to write this...aside from virtue signalling obviously.

Besides there is nice video for this:

The mods can't make up their god damn mind when issuing bans and/or warnings. Is it a warning or a 1-day ban?

I swear, that site has more hatred and racist/transphobic shit than 4-chan.

It literally says in their TOS:

"We also do not tolerate 'slut shaming'" - members calling other cunts, no bans.
"Advocating murder will always result in a permanent ban" - see users call for other peoples deaths, no bans.

You do not even follow your own fucking rules! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

If you saw someone advocating murder who hadn't been banned, and you pointed it out, you'd be "mod whining."

Developers that post on ERA do this on their own accord and are the same as the people they pander to. Though I'd prefer a gaming forum consisting entirely of normal users and players. Let developers discuss on their own technical terms on a separate platform Some can be quite rude, thinking that every poster has graduated from computer science

This. Any developer that posts on the forum must sleep in the bed they make. We are doing ourselves a disservice if we show them the pity they crave later after their inevitable exile for wrongthink.

What exactly are you offended about? I've been raped, but "believe everyone" is definitely stupid approach.

Who said I was offended, re-read my post.

Looked up his other videos after (I did laugh, dudes funny)

But I think such a video in the context of discussion is pretty stupid. But hey I ain't no mod, which is why I said "In my opinion".

oh yeah all these lynchpins of consumerism making $8/hr

all you have to do is not show up one day. your boss will fire you and hire another person by the weekend.

YOU ARE THAT REPLACEABLE

lmao this reminds me of the SugarNoodles post “I’m an office assistant...I find it hard to believe my company could replace me easily” 😂

this speaks to the delusion of these people - they think the world revolves around them.

I mean, how could any company possibly replace an...office admin 🤔

SugarNoodles, I wonder what he's been up to since he managed to slip yet another ban that would have permed anyone else even when he's a massive asshole?

Ah yes, pointing out a trans woman wrongthink or is it CISplaining or mansplaining?. Still not enough to get him a perm. Nine Consonants will be off crying about that somewhere.
