I don't get why would Reddit would censor stories that show Era's true colours.
Reddit is probably the largest platform there is for any gaming related talk. Why would they give a shit about them ?
Imagine having that much free time.It's not Reddit as a whole, but mods of the sub Reddits censoring the stories. It would make sense that a Ree mod could also be a mod on a gaming sub Reddit.
Pedo Era really showed how far the Ree reach is. There was no shame and they got away with burrying the story so well that they just blatantly do the same for anything they don't want to catch the wider worlds view.The ree mods are not selected at random...they have power users in pretty much most social media outlets that can silence and protect ree
You saw first hand with the pedo discord stuff.....any story that went up was pretty much buried in most major areas
Imagine having that much free time.

Good. Don’t fuck with old entertainment. Let it stand the way it was intended.

Kinda hard to remove them entirely given their importance to the ending.
Yup, this should be the standard when re-releasing older films with problematic elements
Agreed. I especially appreciate how it's called out that the depictions were and are wrong, and that pretending such racism etc never existed is unacceptable. We need to know our shameful history to fight against its resurgence.

Its the right move.
They just reached 10,000 bans in under 2 years.
Lmao.
what if i told you a beloved media company's new streaming service went back on their promise to remove problematic content in the form of mid century racist black stereotypes? would you think Era would shout to deplatform these Nazis who continue to profit from racism?
Disney+: The crows are still in Dumbo
While Song of the South is obviously a no show, someone did check the Disney+ free trial, and the crows are still in Dumbo. In the future, when only one news source of dubious repute breaks a story, and everyone else is just parroting them, ask yourself why that is...www.resetera.com

fucking hypocrites
Hey, if you can't win an argument, just make up a new term so you can still technically be right!I always get a chuckle when they ban people for ‘false equivalence’ because usually the equivalence is just fine, they just don’t like that the equivalence is making their arguments look bad or is showing their hypocrisy.
It’s funny, isn’t it?10K bans out of 40K members. Time is not on their side.
Nice thread tag
Lol drama tag. Netflix should make a series about.
Non-binary (born male)
But this how he feels ... InsiiiiiiideStill male
Era is a fucking shitshow safespace. Just got my second ban for having the temerity to challenge people who think endangering lives is a price worth paying just to spread the climate change message.
I changed my profile there to non binary on the slightest % it might give me leeway from a ban.Yeah that sounds about right. I think the males on that forum are the most whiny, jealous, sneaky and saddest lowlifes I ever encountered. And those 2 non-bianirys are probably just straight white gamer males that use this label to be part of something.

That's what I originally did by putting that poster on ignore temporarly then upon seeing that maybe that person had came around I tried to give the benefit of the doubt uningore her , and the lines I quoted were LITTERALY the very first thing I saw ... I've said it here more than once I'm an INTERSEX dude and although in english I be using They/Them here in French in my regular life I can't that is depressing and fucked , and fucks with my brain and makes me depressed engouh as it is , it is soul crushingly a privilege I can't enjoy at all . So doing so in english spaces would further down my mental distress and depression . So muting that person for the upcoming trimester is literally me protecting myself . I hope that upon reading me further that person starts ALSO to understand that sexism doesn't only render men nasty but women too and this was a prime example here ... Is it tiring to always have to be the better person ? You bet it is and as intersex I know it all too well ... So it would be cool to not have idiots reducing me as "a guy" , when I spend my time when I'm here every three message reminding folk that I'm neither male nor female because in reality I'm both ... Now I shall take my functional and currently lactating tits out of here because muting wasn't enough given that if you intervened as a moderator is that this person keeps yappin at me ...
I think it's hilarious that Disney likes money enough that Song of the South has been released in both Asia and Europe. If Disney really cared about how offensive Song of the South was, they would not have released it anywhere.
Only on Ree do people love and worship Disney like some benevolent God. Everyone else on Earth knows that Disney is one of the most ruthlessly capitalist media conglomerates in the world. Disney are the primary drivers of copyright extension in Western nations, and the bill that resulted in the "Lifetime + 70 years" copyright duration currently in effect in the United States is referred to as the "Mickey Mouse law" because it exists solely to prevent Mickey Mouse from entering the public domain.
One very curious quirk of copyright law in nations with sane copyright laws: Song of the South has been released in Japan (most recently in 1990), and the Japanese didn't pass "Lifetime + 70 years" until last year to bring their laws in line with the EU for their bilateral EU-Japan trade agreement, so Song of the South is actually in the public domain in Japan. Strange but true.

I saw it once in the 80's, don't remember a lot about it. As the full movie is on Youtube I guess I'll give it a rewatch, which is more than anyone calling it racist will ever bother to do.Is Song of the South really that racist? I watched it in the 80s growing up as a kid and have rewatched it a few times since then. Yes now as an adult in 2019 some of the stuff will make a jaw drop, but it is a product of its time doing a period piece about an earlier time.
Send help I can't breathe.
i saw it in the theaters in the 80s and it was a learning experience. in many ways the racism of the film are more subtle and historical, and it's kind of a good example of old culture that could be learned from. it's a shitty film (at one point the main kid is watching a clock for entertainment) but interesting for all these reasons, and probably worth watching just for educational purposes. cancelling it seems to be standard policy tho. in the 90s it was clear they would never release this and after 2016 living in the SJW pocalypse they for sure will keep it buried.Dalton Reymond delivered a 51 page outline on May 15, 1944. The Hays Office reviewed Reymond's outline, and demanded that some terminology, such as characters referring to Remus as a “old darkie” be removed from Reymond's treatment.
Disney hired African-American performer and writer Clarence Muse to be consulted on the screenplay, but Muse quit when Reymond ignored Muse's suggestions to portray African-American characters in a way that would be perceived as being dignified and more than Southern stereotypes. Muse subsequently wrote letters to the editors of black publications to criticize the depiction of African-Americans in Reymond's script. Disney suspected that Muse would later attack the film because Disney did not choose Muse to play the part of Uncle Remus, which Muse had lobbied for.
Furthermore, Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP, and June Blythe, the director of the American Council on Race Relations, were denied requests to see a treatment for the film.
In addition to concerns about his racial stereotypying, Reymond had never written a screenplay before or since. Maurice Rapf, who had been writing live-action features at the time, was asked by Walt Disney Productions to work with Reymond and co-writer Callum Webb to turn the treatment into a shootable screenplay. According to Neal Gabler, one of the reasons Disney had hired Rapf to work with Reymond was to temper what Disney feared would be Reymond's "white Southern slant".
Reymond's treatment included the phrases "massa", in reference to white characters, and "darkey", in reference to plantation workers, prominently. Rapf removed the offending phrases, but dialogue he added to make it clear that the film was set after slavery had ended was removed; one character in Rapf's script states, in reference to the black plantation workers, "We gotta pay these people. They're not slaves." Uncle Remus also states, after being told that he cannot read any more stories to Johnny, "I'm a free man; I don't have to take this."

About to be banned again- for no reason I can figure.
I finally got so frustrated I posted how I really felt.
