You're not pointing out any inconsistency in behavior. It's always been about believing the alleged victim and giving their claims the benefit of the doubt over any accused aggressor.

With the caveat that the alleged victim must be in one of their protected classes.

Because he’s a dumb shit. Just look where he wrote “in” instead of “it” just 8 words in. Makes me feel jolly good when some internet nobody tries to act intellectual and ends up showing their true dumb fuck colours.

I watched the trailer and thought the game looked amazing. This dude is watching the trailer to bitch about the type of pants the female character is wearing. Sometimes I wonder if these people even like games. I believe this fellow has admitted to being a broke basement dwelling loser before, so maybe that explains the anger issues.

Planetsmasher seriously sounds like he desperately needs to get laid. Nothing but constant bitching and moaning from that guy. It's like he wakes up every morning and due to his sexual frustration asks himself "what can I get upset about today?"

I think the use of 'in' would be fine, except he's fucked up his delivery by using 'like' and the ellipsis.

Why the fuck people need to type 'like' as though they need to pause, or for effect, is beyond me.

Even worse now the suspects are 2 black men. The thread is pretty funny actually and I feel bad for the poster Vognut who they were dogpiling, I hope he gets some sense and comes here to post.

At this point dogpiling is a valid tactic as long as you are on the right side of history.

Why do you think Enzom, Excel and The Kree among others use this ploy so often? To speak with the words of Jensen Huang of Nvidia:

''It just works.''

Their staff better go and unban anyone they banned because of their stupid mod policies.

They obviously will never do that (Or really SweetNicole/PattyCakes will never do that). There is an established narrative and it has to be maintained by all costs.

Funny enough the Smolett story about broken ribs was debunked incredibly early, yet ERA decided to maintain the BS anyway. That to me says a lot about their intent to polarize discussion into something it is not.

I remember reading this from him:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ju...-u-s-supreme-court.51922/page-53#post-9803524

Such a scary forum with depression and baseless fearmongering. Just because the guy retired doesn’t mean the world has ended. 99% of politics mean jack shit to all of you and don’t affect you one bit.

But to them it does, remember? If your (Mostly US-based) life is focussed on troubles with healthcare, the IRS and getting your shit together, then ofcourse you are going to blame everything under the sun that has nothing to do with your personal situation.

Its just an endless well of frustration applied to every development in the world, plain and simple. Its far easier blaming the world than acknowledging your personal situation.

If you really want to help, go to women’s march for us. Trolling on a message board and bashing Japanese game designs is wasting everyone’s time.

Hope you are doing better with this time off from that toxic forum.

You can't expect people who lack even the basic realization of differing cultures to do something that actually has real life merit.

And its not like he will do something useful with his time off.
Like someone suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the guy will simply return and be ange

about all the flaws of the world. And ofcourse, most of them related to gamergate/minority/Social Justice stuff.

This guy called them out:

I expect a ban. If that does not get a ban, then Enzom has to come into play and change the narrative to a racial one.

How do the little helpers respond:

I love the second one telling that user that he is garbage and should never post here again. Yes, god forbid you have alternative views. A post like that would be warnable in every other thread but since such a user is speaking in favor of the narrative, he won't get actioned.

The third one is good too: ''If people cannot understand why baseless internet detective work that requires disbelieving a potential victim is harmful in a thread about a minority involved in some sort of hate crime.. then I'm not really sure what else to say.''

Gee, reminds me of the time ERA did their own detective works and got developers axed from their job for no good reason, at one point a mod (Hecht) even being involved in a similar case. But naah, that's okay, because it follows the narrative. Speaking against a case like Smolett and questioning the narrative with factual opinion, that is wrong.

Post 4: ''All of ya'll that want to blame victims and doubt stories can just go to the old place, you know. They'll welcome you with open arms. You can even talk shit about Era in the OT they have just to talk shit about Era.''

Hey look, another baseless guy making baseless claims! Yeah, we doubt stories until they are proven. You should try that out, aka Things-a-sane-person-would-do. But nah, in his mind its far more apt to crucify people on the cross and judge people's entire persona based on a singular statement or action, whether that happened or not.

An admin just put out a statement.

Its interesting how they care about facts now when more often than not they just love to call out people without any research.

Its only allowed to fit into the narrative as long as it suits them. So its okay to call people out without waiting for facts when it runs in their advantage. When their call out is completely and utterly wrong, then Staff Communication like this occurs.

I am always amazed by the "you can be assholes to men, you can be mean to men but you can't be sexist" angle,

Like, it's still not a good thing.

OK, so someone is a terrible person but based on a technicality nobody can call them sexist or racist.
They are still a terrible person though.

It's like a weird corrupted version of self-help.
I'm not a good person BUT if I change the definition of a word here, maybe rationalize a few things there... ta-da! I'm one of the good guys.

No. Actually that kind of makes them even worse since they can't be reformed because they've always got a justification for being terrible.

This thread is fucking weird.

Something close to the truth will eventually come out, what's the rush?

One group seems to actually want someone to be the victim of a hate crime just to reinforce their "choice" to be a voice on the frontlines of our national conversation: the all-volunteer nintendo message board. Another is hoping to do that thing where they can say, "I knew this was shady, check my posts," but no one gives a shit. The mods are (rightfully) getting dunked on left and right for being controlling, obtuse weirdos, and I bet entremet has his hooks in somehow.

If two beautiful Japanese girls want to play with each other in front of a camera, how is that oppression?

I personally know good-looking ferminists, but for more prominent examples, look at the most prominent members of Femen, Inna Schewtschenko, Alexandra Schewtschenko, Oksana Schatschko.

No disrespect to people that have these degrees but gender studies is up there with some of the useless art degrees that looks great on paper but they have a very limited career path and will most likely have you being a manager at McDonald’s or a companies HR/secretary person....in most cases you could get to the same career path without wasting thousands of dollars.

Same goes with going balls deep in a masters degree of visual communication when a 20 hour course in graphic design will get you the same role if your committed to the career.

Degrees these days are not worth the paper they are printed on.

So the two brothers who were extras on Empire and who were seen on the surveillance tapes were just released without being charged with anything.

And Jussie Smollett is now being represented by a high-profile defense attorney (who is also representing Michael Cohen).

Are we allowed to speculate on what this may mean?

This is what I was getting at in my last posts. Just look at how wild this all is. People should be able to try and hash it all out in the open ( so long as they’re doing so in a non-trollish manner) without fear of being perma-banned
