I'd seen some stuff on Era that made me go huh before. But this CDPR/Transphobia thing has been just to much. It's way way to much

You just lost your left AND liberal label. What's the point of living anymore?

I despise all progressive language.
Ally, bad take, problematic, we must do better, yikes, dialogue, narrative....
Makes me shudder.

I joined here too after what's happening over there. To be fair to myself I was only a member there for like a week before I realized that those people are just insane. I'm liberal, but I'm not a maniac. It'll be nice to be able to discuss any video game I want and not need to have them be "approved" for me to talk about by a bunch of crazy people first.
I only ever lurked here in the past..like the leadup to the ps4 and xbox one launches which was magical. But this site definitely seems to have gotten even better since then. I Hope it continues to grow!

I saw you posting in the Cyberpunk thread. Must be painful backspacing and rewriting your post a thousand times, navel gazing as to whether or not it will get you banned this time or not.

Yeah same. I have posted way more here than I have since GAF blew up in 2016 or whenever.
Will you stop infringing on my fucking right to say yikes?
Also narrative. You can't have that one either.

Maybe your vast experience on forums hasn't taught you the following straightforward truth yet:
On public forums, a reply isn't necessarily aimed exclusively at or even primarily at the person you're replying to. The main goal is to make a point for all of the audience to consider.
Regarding your flamboyant lack of consistency, I stand my ground.
I reaffirm everything I said.
Keep insulting left and right and then be sure to mount that High Horse of Decency.
It will take me years to recover from you putting me on Ignore.

I just like to post about happiness, light, debauchery, sadism, BBQ and the occasional video game....minimal rewrites lol.

It's honestly just because it is the place to get video game news, stories, deals, etc. as quickly as possible. There's also the fact that people in the industry happen to post there occasionally but... posters on Era are doing their absolute best to drive those industry people away, so...
I'm very liberal when it comes to social issues but the never-ending and ever-shifting purity tests are absurd. I'm sure a lot of people on Era have dealt with harassment and/or bigotry in their lives but this "you're either with me or you're a nazi" bullshit is so nauseating. But hey, whatever helps them sleep at night I guess.
I feel like this sums up Era pretty well.
Let's get back on-topic. Reset discussion should be directed here:
www.neogaf.com
Thanks.
ResetEra Discussion -- Stay civil. Don't get personal. Keep it in here.
How will the ship finish sinking? Let's find out. As before: keep it civil, don't get personal, and keep the Reset nonsense in here rather than letting it spill out to the rest of our forum. Carry on.
Thanks.

If you truly believe the term ‘tranny’ and ‘pinhead’ are comparable or equatable, I’m not sure engaging in any more conversation with you is worth it, to be honest dude.

On Era I’m not Puerto Rican because I vote Republican. Ridiculous.
At the end of the day, who cares. Let’s share a beer, laugh at jokes, play video games and enjoy life!

You can sign up to make threads and unless I'm mistaken, make them on even older games.
Hell I'd love to do some I just don't have time to do more than post/reply on threads.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. As long as there's an expectation of signing up and putting effort into a first post I just don't have the time or energy to bother, especially with how anything other than major releases just see the OTs sink like a stone anyway. No offense to people who spend a lot of time making elaborate first posts in an OT, but I rarely even look at them. Review threads are were I go for info on a game I'm on the fence about. OTs I'm only going to if I'm already getting/have a game and want to share my impressions, read others' impressions, ask and answer questions etc.
Just seems to me like the barrier of signing up, having to at least gather some links and other details for the first post etc. probably reduces the number of OTs. Though again, maybe it's all moot if any but the most popular games are going to see their OTs sink quickly behind all the news and console warring type threads anyway. The casually shoot the shit about what your playing crowd seems to have mostly left and not came back yet unfortunately, but maybe that will change as the Era continues to get crazier and drive away more folks who just want to talk games.
As I said, GAF is still great! I just miss the super active game OTs for most every game under the sun that was my favorite part of the site back before the split.

Fair enough; I'm sure if enough people mentioned it the staff would pin OTs for a certain period of time so they don't get buried immediately after someone puts time into them.
I can't recall if GAF or Era pinned OTs but it's not a bad idea.

There's seriously a poster in the other places stickied CP thread taunting people who have issues for not being brave enough to speak up and stand by and explain their beliefs if they disagree, in full awareness mods are currently banning absolutely any dissenting voices at this point
Fucking asshats. I'm done there.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
As long as threads are properly tagged as OTs though, it's easy to filter out everything else:
Gaming Discussion
Video game news, industry analysis, sales figures, deals, impressions, reviews, and discussions of everything in the medium, covering all platforms, genres, and territories.

Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know there was an option to filter by tags.

Especially in context of the sheer amount of posters throwing the term 'alt Right' around for people who have literally been broadly fucking agreeing about Trans rights but disagreeing with a few elements of their coverage approach
I'm moderate, mayyyybe center-left politically but Jesus H Christ on a bike riding down a hill, this is silly

If we’re doing funny Reeee ban stories, I was a member there for a week or so once upon a time.
I got a temporary ban quite quickly, because I cut through the bullshit and asked one of those imbeciles whether they had a job. You can tell which ones don’t, it’s the ones who think the most minor issue, like a dev making a joke 8 years ago on Bebo, means they should lose there job, house and family. Funnily enough, the dunce refused to answer.
Once the temp ban expired, I decided to have a gander on Trump’s inauguration thread whilst it was happening live. The way people were going on, you’d have thought he’d just ordered 20 million people in to concentration camps. I literally posted ‘should we just wait and see how his policies actually effect people before we shit the bed?’ and was immediately descended upon by about 10 of the mongoloids with their favourite ‘really?’ quips and a permanent ban.
It was a brief and unsatisfying affair, something I’m sadly used to.

A warped ideology stemming from too much time spent in an echo chamber. It literally becomes the case that if someone has a differing opinion on a subject (trans rights) then that person must be labelled as extreme and evil. This is much easier than engaging with them, because engaging might expose them to a valid opinion, and they can’t possibly entertain the notion that they are not already 100% correct.
It’s all borne of fear.
Fear of confrontation. Fear of discussion. Fear of opposing viewpoints.
But most of all... fear that deep down they might just not have all the answers and the truth. Ego, entitlement and intolerance all wrapped up with a toxic bow.

I’m half Aussie, half Londoner. I basically came out of the womb saying cunt. I’m pretty sure I quit GAF all those years ago because it got banned by the Reee crowd before they fucked off.
Cunts.
PSA for Americans: we don’t use the word cunt to refer to just women (if ever) like some of you might do, so please don’t think we’re being massively misogynistic here. Everyone gets called a cunt. Mostly other blokes.

So pretty much since all political leanings have extreme versions that many would consider crazy they lump everybody that disagrees with them as extremists. Is that about it? (Just to be clear while I may be a bit libertarian that does not mean I think things like drunk driving should be legal. Yes, there are literally libertarians that have that point of view.)
