This is funny, but actually fucking scary. A lot of the most prominent users there check all the points raised here.So, someone else on another site found this:
I've taken the liberty of higgling the points I feel are valid for Era by changing the text color to gold.
Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.
- Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
- No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
- No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
- Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
- There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
- Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
- There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
- Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
- The group/leader is always right.
- The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.
- Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
- Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.
- Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".
- Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.
- Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.
- Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.
- A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.
- Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.
- Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
- Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.

I'm about to wade through the filth. I'll report back. Status as of yesterday afternoon was that everything was largely winding down. I could easily see the mods locking the topic down after the post has been up for 1 week. After that, most likely things will seemingly go back to normal. You might notice a few mods stepping down without much fanfare and with it, suddenly less and less activity. Or, everything could go in one explosive event where Moba puts in place ads that the site sees as problematic. Let's hope for the latter.

And Reeee mods wonder why people think their mods are retards.
"But we don't do it for the power & ego, we do it for the love of the community."
Great thing is Nepenthe seems untouchable despite being the most odd power tripping one there, so it just turns off users every time she posts.
They are killing their own forum with mods trying to act like celebrities. Love it. All done for free too. lol

It's obvious why they don't like people asking questions. They're not educated enough to back up their point of view and endlessly regurgitate sound bites they hear from other users or their twittersphere. To challenge them is to expose them and remember, no free thinking is allowed.
They're terrified about being found out, and instead of fostering inclusion and spreading knowledge, they'd rather just ban you for daring to be inquisitive.
How interesting it is that they dress up in the clothing of inclusivity only to mock, shun and disparage anyone who dare want to have a few questions answered.

Rational wiki says: "Accusing one's opponent of "just asking questions" is a common derailment tactic and a way of poisoning the well. Asking questions in and of itself is not invalid."

Makes sense. There was a well known movie too called Fritz he Cat. It was like a half porno but animated. I remember seeing it on late night tv channels back in the 80s, googling now didnt realize it was a 1972 cartoon. I dont remember any of it, but do remember it was retarded. Who the hell would watch this.So I checked that 'furry' thing on WIkipedia:

As a kid, Id rather watch whatever sex-coms had titties like Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Private School. Betsy Russell 10/10.
Not sure why some people love the furry thing. I guess they like animal sex in some ways. But also, I think it's due to them being anti-social and cant get normal human sex or relationships, so subconsciously if a bunch of weirdos get into costumes they all feel more confident acting like a dog or gerbil as if they are a super smart animal.

The perfect mod to message with this.
Hits the nail on the head here perfectly I think.
Someone over there should tag the rest of the team in a reply to it though. They wouldn't want to accidentally miss this.

Fritz the Cat was coming from a more subversive/counterculture place, like the Fabulous Freak Brothers etc. More a counterpoint to the Disney style saccharine personified animals, animals who acted like real messy people (drink, drugs, sex, fighting etc).
Not their fault people started wanking over it.

They banned the dude who complained that Nep was claiming racism on a post where there clearly was none.
Apparently commenting that someone is the shit sticking to another person's fur is now definitely, absolutely racist.

- While I am human and can get defensive, I do not silence criticism and questions
- I have fully disclosed the entire revenue the channel has made several times over again, including just last week
- I do not fear the outside world at all
- No issue with people leaving and unsubbing from my channel. I know my channel isn't for everyone and even make suggestions sometimes on channels I think may suit their tastes more.
- Not sure this one is relevant in my case
- I mean, there are some videos calling me a ebegger or some crap.
- I go out of my way to make sure everyone who watches feels like they are good.
- I am most definitely not always right. Made a simple math mistake in a video just yesterday and felt incredibly stupid about it all night
I know these were not aimed at me, but I like self reflecting. It's shocking how many boxes for this stuff Resetera can tick.

I saw on another website speculation that Veelk is Cerium's alt. Given how much they've been spamming support for Cerium, it could very well be.
Source of the rumor is strangely worded post by a mod:

This leaves me to question.....
Is it racist because they think the poster is implying Black people are furry?
Or are they trying to make dressing up in an animal costume its own race now?

It's that they believe that calling someone furry must be because they're black, because that's where THEIR mind went.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
I think from Nepenthe's perspective; it's racist because she is black and was insulted.
The argument seems to be "they know I'm black, so it's racist"..

No fucking idea.
I guess maybe because saying somebody is an animal means that they think a black person is also an animal? But then surely that means that Nep associates being black with being an animal, which to me sounds a bit... racist.
Of course the truth is that the guy had no racist intention whatsoever, but they can't just ban a person for insulting a mod, so in comes the fatuous links to racism to justify the ban.

It was far more expedient for Neph to bring their blackness into the equation in service of banning me, than to ban me for cracking furry jokes. That's how these people operate; not on principle but convenience.
