We've seen it many times, they never send their brightest and best. We just roast the fuck out of them until they get banned, they convince themselves that "LOL U mad snowflakes" then run back to whatever Discord they are allowed to talk about GAF in for backpats. It's super entertaining.

I've been browsing through Resetera the last few years and some things are very annoying...

- the minorities* can basically say whatever they want and not get banned
- suicidal people

I'm gay myself, but the way ppl can get so defensive over LGBTQ+, especially the trans community, is pretty rubbish. They're way too loud with their sjw, and some need help ASAP

Neogaf was like this as well during its peak and it was annoying as well.

Are we allowed to use you as our trump-card for whenever GAF is (wrongfully!) labelled non-inclusive and homophobic?

"SOME OF OUR BEST MEMBERS ARE GAY!!"

What a life some people have...

That's the guy that last month got into 5K of debt for plastic surgery to be beach body ready. Announced he was going poly, was advised he might not be in the best mental health position for that (Those comments ended up getting a ban). So the extent of his Polyness was a disabled, mentally ill poor guy living in a cat piss/shit apartment. This reeks of desperation to prove people wrong or to earn his poly status.

I've been down that road and I wouldn't of dreamed of making a post here saying I was gonna do myself in, proper attention seeking bell end behaviour. It's like people on facebook post shit like "OMG fuck off!!!! Worst day ever!" Then when someone asks what wrong, they go "msg me".

Brainwashing of the weak minded. Looking for acceptance in a group, uniforming to an hive mind cult because it gives you the illusion of being loved and in a team of people thinking like you.
It's sad because I think that many people on era have their hearts in the right place but their have to conform or they would be banned .
I remember Feep posts about Scribblenauts, he seemed full of joy and passion.

This, or Evilore killed his cat and kidnapped his family.

This is actually very sad. He's not deserving of mockery for being lonely and having doubts about making such important commitment - and I say this as a married man.

I'm gay and feel like we have already won most every right that straight people have (in the west, anyway) If you want to fight for our cause, I wouldn't mind but it seems pointless to do it nowadays.

This is actually not true at all, as reams upon reams of mental health research show. Most people who successfully kill themselves usually publicize their intentions or try to draw attention to their plight in quite theatrical ways. We have dozens of examples of people posting to message boards (4chan, GameFaqs, SomethingAwful, Reddit) that they want to die before committing suicide at a later date.

To be fair he cant even remember if he's been with her for 3 or 5 years, he changed relationships somewhere inbetween and merged them into one continuous realtionship where he wasnt dating her but someone else.

Social media and suicide - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Young adults are making connections with people in like situations that is helping them feel less lonely.[18] Although, the public opinion is that message boards are harmful, the following studies show how they point to suicide prevention and have positive influences. A study using content analysis analyzed all of the postings on the AOL Suicide Bulletin Board over 11 months and concluded that most contributions contained positive, empathetic, and supportive postings.[19] Then, a multi-method study was able to demonstrate that the users of such forums experience a great deal of social support and only a small amount of social strain. Lastly, in survey participants were asked to assess the extent of their suicidal thoughts on a 7-level scale (0, absolutely no suicidal thoughts, to 7, very strong suicidal thoughts) for the time directly before their first forum visit and at the time of the survey.[19] The study found a significant reduction after using the forum. The study however cannot conclude the forum is the only reason for the decrease. Together, these studies show how forums can reduce the number of suicides. "

I understand you see this as some kind of gotcha moment, but someone better versed in the material in question can tell you that one (1) multi-method study in a small academic journal (CyberPsychology & Behavior) is not necessarily representative of the field as a whole. Leaving aside that it does not contradict anything I said, which was "Most people who successfully kill themselves usually publicize their intentions or try to draw attention to their plight in quite theatrical ways." *and* "We have dozens of examples of people posting to message boards (4chan, GameFaqs, SomethingAwful, Reddit) that they want to die before committing suicide at a later date." Both of these statements - which are related, but independent of each other - are true and easily verifiable.

As my significant other works with mental health, I could ask and flood you with references but the topic is too serious for an online pissing contest. You're free of course to google the articles below, a small sample, a drop in an ocean, but all of this to say no, as for social media (such as message boards) and suicide, there's plenty of evidence that being openly mocked on the internet during a mental health crisis can lead to suicide.

I won't derail this thread further but I am happy to chat about it on MentalHealthGAF.

A fundamental question is whether an association exists between rates of Internet use, including social media, and population suicide rates. Although limited, several preliminary studies have begun to address this question. For example, Shah conducted a cross-national study that examined the association between general population suicide rates and the prevalence of Internet users, using data from the World Health Organization's and the United Nations Development Program's Web sites. Shah showed that the prevalence of Internet users was positively correlated with general population suicide rates. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the prevalence of Internet use was independently associated with general population suicide rates in men (P = .001) and approached statistical significance for women (P = .074). Hagihara et al.conducted a time-series analysis with data from 1987 to 2005 and reported a statistically reliable positive correlation between general population male suicide rates in Japan and the prevalence of households using the Internet (P < .05). We should note that the results of these studies cannot be considered conclusive because of cross-sectional designs and the possibility of ecological fallacy.

There are several specific ways that social media can increase risk for prosuicide behavior. Cyberbullying and cyber harassment, for example, are serious and prevalent problems. Cyberbullying typically refers to when a child or adolescent is intentionally and repeatedly targeted by another child or teen in the form of threats or harassments or humiliated or embarrassed by means of cellular phones or Internet technologies such as e-mail, texting, social networking sites, or instant messaging. Cyber harassment and cyber stalking typically refer to these same actions when they involve adults. A review of data collected between 2004 and 2010 via survey studies indicated that lifetime cyberbullying victimization rates ranged from 20.8% to 40.6% and offending rates ranged from 11.5% to 20.1%.

"Largely isn't true." Yeah, sure, I bet if you could somehow quantify the potential "content" for discussion 50.01% or more could be discussed on Era.

Kind of like "mostly peaceful protests!"

 

[teezzy]

They conflate questioning and dismissal constantly over there. I don't know how anyone can stand it.

Questioning is the exact opposite of dismissal, you're engaging with the subject matter at hand. They're the worst bunch of knobs. So much so that we're all drawn to continue discussing them on a daily basis like moths to a lantern.

Imagine one of them IRL saying "A" and you go "A, B?" and they start screaming at you for dismissing A. There's no way a single one of these people acts like this in public if they expect to be respected by the average person.
