I like that Ree have made racism about who's in charge and are trying to twist the definition of racism. Since when was being a racist arsehole about whomever happens to be a majority?

original admin team status

Cerium - owns the site, not active posting

on top of that you have the high profile mod flameouts like Finale Fireworker or Professor Beef who got cancelled for posting a mocking Simpsons gif in a suicide related thread.

Original mod team status

Fiction
JaseC
Judge
Kirblar
Lonestar
Nightengale
plagiarize
PlanetSmasher
Professor Beef
Selina


I would assume being a mod or admin there is a very draining hobby with little upside (no pay, no praise, just kicks out of banning and warning people) and a big personal downside of attracting the hate of the mob, like what happened to SweetNicole and BronsonLee who had her/his/their entire account nuked. The hate they received seemed to spill outside the site even.

What is remarkable is that they manage to maintain the same moderation practices even after full turnover.

5/20 left and one of the 5 is the owner who very rarely posts... ouch.

He treated it like a full time job with required overtime and no pay.

Ah, I see.

I remember long ago, when we had sports there was a twitter post about the college basketball rankings and all of the turnover in the rankings.



It would be pretty funny to see one for Resetera which show admin/staff and how crappy posters rise out of nowhere to become admins.

Despite this thread dunking on the constant pearl-clutching at Ree I still get a chuckle out of the OG GAF that slips through with (hopefully nothing at the time of this post) little fanfare and want to point it out.

Thing is, even that description doesn’t hold any water. Just ask them if black South Africans can be racist towards the white people they’re killing, driving off their land, starving to death, or the same in Zimbabwe.

The joke is it sounds like you just wanted to purposely use a derogatory word for Japanese people and catch a warning or a short term ban so you could come here and flex your badge of honor for getting reprimanded on resetera. Instead you got a perm.

I despise what resetera is and what it stands for but people like you aren't noble in the least bit, you knew what you were doing and what you were saying when you said it. You should be bold enough to admit it.
I think you’re wrong here.

GymWolf is Italian. Now, a lot of Italians are racist to a degree. The N word is still used a lot in Italy, and most Italians will tag someone as Chinese regardless of nuance if that person has slant eyes and Asian features.

But Italy holds virtually no racism against the Japanese. Stereotypes, yes; prejudice and hostility, basically none.
“Jap” has been used in Italian video game discourse since the dawn of Nintendo. It’s an abbreviation; literally never been used as a slur. That’s why GymWolf used it liberally.

Of course, Reee doesn’t allow for ignorance and their thought police methods mean that if you wrote it, you meant it - in the worst possible way. But GymWolf was savvy enough to go back and correct the word as soon as he was notified of it. Unfortunately he apparently forgot to correct a second occurrence of the word. Anyway, a permaban for that is beyond ridiculous, as is the accusation of previous severe instances of racism, which were completely fabricated (you’d call someone racist because he pointed out that James Earl Jones dubbed Darth Vader? Come on now).

Someone makes a thread about Jonathan Blow playing BotW and it immediately turns into a 'cancel Blow' thread


Apparently this reflects poorly on him lol:

All he does is complain and look like an idiot
That's all most Era users do too.

Don't criticise the position, criticise the person. The exact opposite of normal discourse. Standard for them.

We really shouldn't be surprised they are quick to dredge up anything they consider objectionable when they don't like the arguement.

Just saw this.

The whole story of the OP is bullshit. Made up to share his politics in a relateable story to score era points.
Thats the whole problem over there. Nothing is believeable.
Only good thing is that people are calling out this 'reverse racism' horseshite. You are either acting racist or you are not. Never hate a person based on their skin colour, but if you do dislike a person its okay if it from their actions and personality.

Also our resident incident manager Hobbes is back in 'Reverse Racism is a myth'. Not banned? 🤔 how many were banned making that claim?

Is Gold not available through PayPal in anyway? I want to support the site but I’m not the biggest fan of using credit cards directly. Thanks for any replies.
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Most of them probably end up just making new accounts and going back under different names, it's incredibly easy.

I bet most "new users" are just banned users under different names :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I figured out all the internal email addresses that my company uses that will come to my inbox. I figured if GAF died Reeeeeeeera kept going, they'd be ban happy. I made four accounts off the bat.

I have been hearing more and more youtubers (different ones from the normal ragebaiters) name dropping ResetEra as being synonymous for cults, zealots, and crazy assholes.

I love it. The stigma is spreading.

My ban ended but I just haven't felt compelled to go back. Not missing being unable to share anything remotely conservative leaning or seeing "On this day 13.5 years ago X game was released" every other thread. Reddit's better for breaking news and oddly somehow more tolerant? Look at my post history here I'm not even that conservative aside from the 2A, recognizing that California is way too leftist while still not liking Trump.

Paypal isn’t currently supported, but we use Stripe for secure payment processing. Your numbers aren’t exposed to us directly, and it’s all as secure as it gets.

I’ll just add (as a developer) that 99% of sites never see your card details, as it’s nearly always handled by a third party such as worldpay, stripe, etc, and I like it that way as I don’t want the risk that goes with storing credit card data. Additionally, even sites that let you save your card typically request a token from the card provider which is used behind the scenes instead of your actual card details - that token is unique to that site and your card and can readily be revoked.

White people can't season their food. "Ok".
Ever had I dunno, Italian, French, Greek, Spanish, or even freaking German food? Well I don't even know what's "white" to them, because Mexicans probably aren't white to them, but then are Spanish people?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Anyone who says that white people can't season food has obviously never been to Japan. Or Africa. Or most of the world. Really, they're suggesting that we should aspire to be like India, and just start marinating chicken in a diaper.

It's the nu-left modern version of colorism. All white looking people = waspies, and since waspies have a reputation for bland food = all white looking people don't season food.

It's the same reason they tried to argue that creole/pidgn should be subbbed with queens' english versions of the words, ignoring that for creole/pidgin speakers that's telling them their language is badly spoken queen's english. But because african americans find that offensive = all black people find it offensive.

No ethnical nor cultural differences, no subtlety. In the word of the reeera nu left, all white looking people are aspies, all black looking people are african american.
 
Who are the obvious ones?

People like Mister Metokur or Quartering. Whatever your opinion on them, they certainly have a perception about them that your average era-goer wouldn't care for in the first place.

I want to see more mainstream "apolitical" personalities call them out, preferably someone with a really big fanbase.

Contrapoints has put out a new video, most of the discussion is positive right up but someone is so desperately looking ally points and something controversial to complain about.

Right out the gate is troll Red Mercury, true defender of "Gamestop Maam"

You're defending Gamestop. Maam. Why the fuck do these idiots choose the wrong people to bat for just because of one identity feature they share.



Drug addict, ex prison con, mentally unstable, quite clearly tweeking his tits off on drugs through this video. You don't need to watch it all, a few minutes is enough. But yeah, of course Contrapoints is the problem.

I think that people who have really absolute opinion on these kind of thing are the same kind of people who never go outside their city. When you see other culture and you travel a little you can't hold those little opinion as absolute truth because you've seen some other shit.

I was on hardcore gaming 101 discord a while back and those people there are really woke and never went anywhere in their lives. I meant I was asking interesting place to visit in their country and some just never went outside their state. I got San Francisco suggested to admire the birth of the homosexual liberation mouvement, no joke.

I will not go to San Francisco, I don't like the Giant.

Pretty sure those people on Era don't like her because she passes and they don't. Jealousy is, as they say, a real bitch.

Racism isn't based on power. They always have these catchy little phrases that push their narrative that they love to spout that simply aren't true. It's based on ignorance and hatred. A homeless dude on the street can hate certain races or demographics of people and they have absolutely no power and that doesn't make them not racist.

and the term "reverse racism" is dumb anyway. It implies that racism can only go one direction. It's as logical as "reverse murder."

They have hated Elon Musk for years. He's everything they aren't: immigrant, self-made billionaire, founded multiple successful companies, Internet celebrity, worldwide memelord, builds rockets and electric cars, and he has 6 children. Also those cars he makes are pretty fucking cool.

To me there are two parts to racism:

A. Is it a blanket racially driven claim

B. Does the claim create uproars, negative stereotypes and oppression?

Here's two claims. Even though they are similar, I bet claim #1 leads to less people caring. In fact, I bet there's a higher chance of people in #1 agreeing and having fun with it. Here goes.

1. Italians eat lots of pasta

2. Chinese eat lots of rice

You guys all tell me why people in #1 will likely lead to less people in that group caring.

when i was a kid, in the 80s, i heard about electric cars. it sounded like a futuristic thing. i never saw one until after 2000. now, this guy is making them, and i see Teslas on the road all the friggin' time. HE IS HELPING THE CLIMATE. i thought this was the apocalyptic basis of their entire morally righteous worldview, the Extinction Rebellion, and this guy is spending millions developing electric batteries and thing that will help drive the future of sustainable energy. how is he not at least trying to put his money where his mouth is?

i guess it goes to show you how attractive that Keyboard Socialist lifestyle is. say the most extreme things and sound like an instant hero. kill and eat the rich. ditto with the "guillotine" talk. nobody should want the government or uncontrolled mobs to start cutting people's heads off. that is patently insane. but the rich, uh, they could fix everything, if they, uh, they spent it at CNN or something.

seriously, i don't know what they expect billionaires to do. it is this bizarre fixation. they place these people on a pillar. make them into gods. i almost think it is largely jealousy/envy more than anything. these people wish they were rich, deep down. they are full of shit.

I think racism is a mentality more than anything. It's why comics can make racial jokes and not be racist. They say discriminatory things, but it isn't rooted in hatred, it's rooted in trying to make people laugh and they don't actual mean it.

You can be not racist at all and say things that might be construed as racist. The difference is the person who doesn't think lesser of other people because of their race won't hate, discriminate, or oppress an individual based on their race because they don't have that prejudice in their mind. The ones who do have that mentality may do it even subconsciously because they believe others are inferior and they matter less.

Claims are just that, claims. They can, but don't necessarily mean someone has a racist mentality. You can make statistical observations about certain demographics that are factually true and it not be because you have a bias against any demographic, it's just relaying information.

Mentalities are what makes a person dangerous. The most dangerous racial crusades in history were all driven by deep-seeded mentalities. If you don't have a deep belief in something, you aren't going to go to great lengths to promote it.
