[Blam]

I am glad that you are around, Blam.

Gladly after how I was treated by their admins, I mean I really had no choice but I'm happy I stuck around.

They don't suck (And they don't swallow, either.)

Maybe they don't.

 

[redwolflim86]

ZhugeEX (Daniel Ahmad) is Malaysian (I believe) but middle eastern descent speaks fluent Arabic, Shinobi's (Nate T.) father is Lebanese and he also speaks fluent Arabic, they have several black mods, Brazil is well from Brazil, etc.. (none of this is doxxed it is all public from website interviews, etc.)

Just observations on how the staff looks the other way with calls for killing white people (mainly anti-American sentiment) and the like.

As a Malaysian, It sparked my interest when you mentioned that ZhugeEX is Malaysian. Here's my 2 cent: Based on his name (Daniel Ahmad), I am pretty sure that his race is Malay whose religion is Muslim. They usually speak fluent Arabic as the local Primary and Secondary Schools in Malaysia teach Arabic language. I wont be surprised he will go full SJW in administration of ERA due to the influences by Malaysia Political Ideology (Our current Prime Minister indeed, hate Americans and Israelis). That explains the downfall of ERA in a span of year

Do you think ERA, given your inner knowledge, takes a bigger priority into hiring new staff on the basis of diversity?
I mean, its pretty obvious, but maybe you know more?

And lets not discuss whether trans people suck or swallow, haha

 

[MontyBrown]

Listen it's simple. I will accept a tranny if -

1) They look like a woman and not a man in a dress
2) They sound like a woman and not a man putting on a stupid voice
3) They actually get their dick chopped off and have a fake vag

I still don't want to fuck you, but then you can say you're a woman.

My friend's tranny partner is pre-op but fits points 1 and 2.

But she talks like a male sailor with a lowish voice.

Still not a woman in your eyes?

The way you speak about it and the terminology (Tranny) that you use sounds like you consider them less human than others.

I have yet to respond in the LGBT thread but man, is it really so difficult to have some common courtesy around trans people?

EDIT: Whoops, user wasnt even in that thread. My bad!

Yes they do, moderators I know and have had a chance to talk to have specifically mentioned they didn't ask for moderator experience for a good lot of them but what their skin color was and or who they were not at all if they were suitable mods. That's why their staff are sorta stupid, because they went off of the persons visuals and beliefs and not their experience.

Haha I know I was just playing with ya

Oh there was a new one? Link to it if you're able to?

 

[Redneckerz]

Well, he ate an ban for it. Ill address him in the appropiate thread anyways but even if you are against the concept of trans (And hey, you might be because of religious affiliation!) the negative undertone is completely useless. They aren't sub-human's, which is what got implied.

Its kinda sad and irony since the banned user had a slightly more pronounced view regarding this a month ago. And that got liked by 4 people. So yeah.

Yes they do, moderators I know and have had a chance to talk to have specifically mentioned they didn't ask for moderator experience for a good lot of them but what their skin color was and or who they were not at all if they were suitable mods.

This is such a hilariously outdated requirement (As in, pre-Internet) to hire people. Skin color is literally the last thing that should play a part.

If it did, then Bish would never have been feared around OldGAF and never been a moderator in the first place.

Wait...

Joking aside, in my opinion you pick staff based on their skills as a moderator and their empathy skills: Can they defuse a problematic situation and keep their cool when tensions rise? To be more direct in tone, without going insultive?

This is where i feel NewGAF has been killing it (Not literally) lately. The staff appear more as family members rather than random suits talking you down. Honestly, if i still were an ERAdian, i would definitely be more than mildly curious as a potential GAFfer. It really makes a lot of difference.

Haha I know I was just playing with ya

I know and i liked it (Not literally. Also not figuratively with a thumbs up, lmao). Im glad you opened up to reveal your interests - I wouldn't have known from the way you wrote, either way. Happy days, Blam.

In terms of family members I'd call them redneck cousins more then anything with some of the things they say, lol.

Funny that you say that, the trans partner of my friend hails from a redneck family.

And no, not my family, contrary to my username.

Well, perhaps i write like a girl aswell, but last time i checked myself, i definitely do not have any external features that would classify me as one. As someone born in the year of the Horse though, sharing empathy is more prevalent however.

There was a thread in ERA about the killings of palestinians by israeli forces, and before 10 posts it became a bannable offense to call the israeli people or government "nazis" or to even make the comparison. And then there was some controversy among the moderators: some of them were against this because it made all them look like they were condoning the actions of the israeli state. Sometimes they are the SJW paladins of gaming, some other times they align with the right. Very weird.

That is what happens when all of one's optics are that of identity politics and victimhood. Once one starts expanding outside of their little bubble, and to the rest of the world, now the narrow worldview starts poking holes in all of the ideological bullshit. Confusion and mental gymnastics ensue.

Yup and that's the beauty of a ERA Admin. Can't really get anything right, and all you have is forcing your own self taught opinions onto others without a shred of looking at the other side.

That's actually clever, but at the same time so utterly childish. Really not a good look.

I feel at this point ERA really gives no shits on how they are percieved by everyone with a sensible brain. I am glad that these folks show themselves, just like how they showed their true colours when they suicided on GAF with their porn posts.

Talking mature people here.

PS: I have something up in the clouds that i came across recently that partially plays around this stuff.

Maintaining the status quo of not being a democracy is less of a threat than abolishing existing democracies, I think this is a correct statement, because the latter decreases the proliferation of democracy, whereas the first does not change it. Please explain to me in how far this statement is wrong. Do not explain to me in how far the avatar is wrong. This is uncontroversial.

China not being a democracy and using their influence to subvert other nations should make them a bigger threat than a President who was actually democratically elected.

It's like saying Richard Nixon was a bigger threat than the Soviet Union, even though only one of them had nuclear missiles pointed at the U.S and came close to actually using them.
It don't matter what Nixon does, when the other guy wants to kill all Capitalists/Democracies.

Of course, the point is dependant on whether you agree with the premise that Trump is aiming to destroy democracy. But that point is one to be expected as a given valuation of him at Resetera. And while I am more hesistant in that regard, his rhethorics on Twitter and concerning "alternative facts" can have an erosion effect. Being voted in democratically is not a good argument here. Putin and Erdogan have been elected as well, yet they did their best to kill democracy in their respective states. The Polish PiS party is another example here, taking media and the justice system under their control.

They lack optics.
Constitutionally, Trump only has till 2021 to make himself dictator unless he secures re-election, then it's 2025.

Meanwhile, China has been communist since the 1950s with no sign of reforming. They continue to send spies and steal Western technology. Hell, that thread I got that quote from was literally about China installing spychips in consumer electronics. How is dictator Trump a bigger threat than a country that already has all your private information?

There's also an argument China has killed more Americans than Trump has. Chinese factories are behind the fentanyl drugs, which has killed some 30,000 Americans via overdose and addiction.
We're actually seeing the Opium Wars in reverse. Remember when Britain got China hooked on Opium? They then were able to bully/pressure China into giving up territory to them (i.e Hong Kong)?

Because you are literally saying the avatar isnt uncontroversial when the very act of what it display is in fact, controversial.

You aren't stating anywhere as to why its a bad excuse to use such a sign as an avatar, you are simply saying that the avatar is uncontroversial. Which lead to my comment.

I have now properly read the posting. I am unable to find the original context under which I said I'd respond to it, but I agree that the claim that Kiwifarm is responsible for the death of the person is unsubstanciated and at the very least generalising in an inacceptable way.

Yes, indeed.

Where is this stated in his original post? He isn't stating that at all. He is saying something else originally in his post and in his clarification proceeds to say that its about belief. Where is that stated?

Yes, indeed.

Where is it stated that you refer to belief? The bolded in your original post does not reference belief whatsoever.

 

[Blam]

Could I just say there's no point debating it, it's a controversial avatar, and it also is pretty fucking rude to call Trump anywhere close to Hitler. Like seriously, Hitler killed millions of people in inhumane ways. Trumps did nothing of the sort, other then triggering every living person in the US and abroad, but he has done one positive thing which was the North/South Korea thing.

That's something he should be proud of.

 

[Yoshi]

Do not explain to me in how far the avatar is wrong. This is uncontroversial.

I specifically said "this" is uncontroversial, so referencing the statement in front "the avatar is wrong". Had I meant to say the avatar is uncontroversial, I would have said "it" is uncontroversial. It would be a pretty stupid thing to say though, because I was responding to someone who just said that it is a shit avatar, so if I was taking the stance it is not, then we would already have a controversy. Hence, I did not feel the need to elaborate further and felt the distinction of using "this" instead of "it" or "the avatar".

You said that here. (Stating: ''I will read it tomorrow and respond if there is something to respond.'')

Thank you. In this case: I agree that it is not fine of Ketkat to ignore this posting, because you made a good argument about the topic at hand. I wouldn't say that disqualifies Ketkat as a whole though. Afterall, she said that she was only here for a brief time and even though she extended beyond the initially given time scope, it was clear that even a good response had no guarantee of being regarded as such.

I am starting to see how you arrived at the phrasing, but come on, this can be very broadly interpreted (As i have been doing.) With this, you are referring to that the avatar is wrong, thus that the avatar is uncontroversial, because it is already wrong. That makes even less sense.

Why? Do you need more examples? Her whole modus operandi is telling you that you are not helping contributing to her cause if you aren't exactly aligning with her views. Then she childishly looks up a very recent example just so she can say: ''See? GAF hasn't changed.'' Oh, and ofcourse she is a firm believer of equating the shower allegation with full on harrassment (or even rape).

I have no idea what you try to convey here. I'd suggest not trying to come up with new, senseless way of interpreting what I have written. I have given you the exact and only correct meaning as per the sender of what I have said (and so has prag16 ), so what is the use of coming with increasingly absurd possible misinterpretations? What do you want to discuss with me here and what kind of response to you expect? I agree that the difference between the two things I could have said is subtle and it is reasonably possible to misinterpret it. But after receiving an unambiguous explanation of the exact intent of the line, what on earth do you seek to achieve with continuing the debate based on a misinterpretation you are already aware is a misinterpretation? I am at a loss here.

I’m not American so please excuse my ignorance and lack of genuine insight. Publicly Trump certainly comes of as a Narcissists, more like an 80’s CEO than the stately demeanour expected of a President, including his past sexual exploits.

But looking beyond the surface, the man seems switched on, not afraid to cut to the chase and extremely decisive. What exactly are his crimes apart from the polarising personality and his devotion to Americans first?

It's his methods of doing things, and just the way he was brought up people are complaining that he was unrightfully brought into office, but he would have been removed if that was the case and tbh it doesn't and hasn't come up yet.

That and since he was a CEO, TV CEO, it just left a bad stigma and everyone tried their best to remove him, but really nobody has put anything really concrete against him because plainly it doesn't exist as far as I can see. That and his ideas are sorta stupid, but in a way make sense. I see why he wants a "Space Force". He just wants us to push towards exploring the skys imo and the wall is less a literal wall even tho he said he wants one but more of beefing up security.

But other then that I've yet to see him actually have proof of committing a crime, and I mean fuck his tax returns were leaked and it showed that he actually played more taxes then he needed to on most things, and people who complained about him cutting taxes and shit like Bernie actually paid less taxes then him.

And because of it people really pushed away from that topic and shut it down.

It’s looking more likely to be the liberal media and the gullible (some young with no life experience) that are demonising him. I’m not sure if this is a joke, but apparently he doesnt get paid for the job and takes $1/annum for logistical reason, whereas the prior President milked it for all he could, even lavishing his family with all available services.. If genuine, I can see how that would totally irk some high and mighty’s to be confronted with such realities.

Least not forgetting Regan and Arnie started in show biz - no idea what the people thought of them.

Well yeah I mean he just straight up doesn't need the money so it makes sense not taking it, and tbh any of those golf trips probably where at trumps places and his own memberships and shit.

If you earn only a fraction of Trump, I do not quite see the value in observing you are paying less taxes than him. If Trump was paying his taxes properly, the amount of taxes he would have to pay probably exceeds the amount of money Sanders earns per year significantly.

Trump loves hyperbole. Hell, the man wrote the book on it.

Some excerpts of Art of the Deal.

The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.

Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.

The left call the man all kinds of names, but he knows what he is doing. He is playing them for the suckers they are, since the uproar from the left just galvanizes his supporters and pushes sane Democrats away from the party.

According to the quote from Trump they are people who fail to think big.

I'd agree that those who dislike looking at the larger picture would be enamored with the man; he knows his brand and he sells it well.

The way the man presents himself seems horribly unproductive given what I'd want from a leader, but it comes down to the old chestnut of don't hate the player, hate the game.

On the topic itself: It is a pretty harmless meme, which I am sure most if not all just use in jest. And even if they believe it: Most conservatives believe in much more outrageous things (bascially what's written in the bible), so if they add some NPC stuff to it, so be it .
