What makes you think this thread will remain intact either?

Regardless, way too much creepery.

The "ACAB" thing feels very alien to me coming from a country where police is well educated, and well respected by the general population.

But saying some cops (even foreign ones) are good would probably catch a ban on ResetEra.
Only once did I try to have a discussion about this over there, because where I'm from the police is very well respected too. In fact, saying cops are bastards would probably warrant you a punch in the face. Unfortunately it seemed that because the USA police force has racism issues, literally every police officer in the entire world is a racist bastard. In fact, at this point it's a-okay to say someone's relative is dogshit when they're a cop.

You're literally called out when you feel that not every cop in the world is a racist asshole.

What kind of bubble do you live in when you think every cop is a bastard anyway? Surely only people who never had to call upon the cops for help live inside this dream world where the cops are out to get you.

Anyone who seriously says ACAB is a fucking idiot not worth any time. I once saw Jason Schreier on Twitter say “because ACAB” as a response to something. The guy seems like he has a brain but that is the most brain dead of responses.

EDIT 2:
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!? She is not sexualized, jesus christ. What, you want her to have small boobs because you are afraid of women? She has big tits cause she is a big fucking woman, and she is dressed classically. It is a very nice design. They were dropped on their heads on ResetERA? You want women in burqa so you can be satisfied?

Kyuuji ZeoVGM and Excel as mods are my biggest hope for the 2021 season

Not even Era's mods are that stupid.

Hahaha, that last sentence sounds like from a Nazi concentration camp.

"Will be moderated executed accordingly."



Hahaha already banned in that thread. Will probably see more bans.

"Era we need to talk about how all these loli anime PFPs are of great offense to victims of child sexual abuse."

! User banned (permanent): Generalizing posters, meta discussion.

Like I get they don't want porn being posted or blatant sexist posts but does every thread have to be super serious? If someone doesn't like a thread, then they can ignore it.

But for many of era's most unhappy users, that's not enough. Even if they only saw a thread for 2 seconds before blocking it, that was a great injsutice and punishment MUST be dealt.

It will feel like a milestone if/when this thread passes onto the Undying Lands. Like Frodo on the ship, sailing out of the harbor. Some of us teary-eyed on the shore to see it off one last time.

I think a case can be made that this thread has run its course considering we’re not great at keeping it civil and not making it personal.

But for me personally it might also be that after posting in this thread for months and then stepping mostly away, my annoyance with Era has been reduced to apathy. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do and nobody can change that.

Plus I don’t think anyone can question that some people might get a bit too angry with Era. So with the new kinder and more level headed political forum, does this thread stick out even more?

I’m not really advocating one way or another but we’ve all read between the lines and have a general idea what will happen.

This is the true story of 149,922 strangers picked to live on a forum and have their posts read, to find out what happens when people stop keeping it civil and start making it personal.

What am I missing here?

For the most part the thread is light banter about laughing at dumb posts?

If EL closes it, well his forum etc. but Era is rapidly declining but still loads of extremely funny posts along the way, with surely more to come.

Nobody is forcing anyone to read the thread. (don't know how anyone takes this thread seriously)

I don’t know, I get a good laugh everyday checking this thread and seeing what lunacy reset is up to. Feels good to crack some jokes on their behalf.

The vast majority of posts is simply posting theirs and laughing about it. (mostly abusive rantings against users)

There is an 'ignore thread' function that could be used.

Anyone who steps over the mark does get slapped down from what I have seen.

Gonna be talked about anyway, best kept in one place IMHO. Otherwise will bleed into other threads and people may be banned. (A guess)

I do think this thread serves an important function in highlighting to Reee’ers that not everyone considers the lunacy going on there normal, and in fact, this thread helps fighting it becoming the new normal.

No media will challenge the fact that saying you think it’s ok to discuss a giant vampire woman’s tits is somehow a bannable sin. Or that enjoying a Harry Potter game requires you to be acutely aware of debates around child HRT.

People may come think that it is the new normal, unless they see some reasonably normal people elsewhere pointing out it’s not.

This thread is a service to the society.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

I need a sanity check when I even look at one thread there.

The reason the "stay civil" and "don't get personal" are front and center in the thread title is to steer people away from the uncomfortable aspects that can come out in a thread like this. Of course when you see abuse of power on display over there it's natural to react harshly. And when you see the serious dysfunction on display it's natural to comment on it. I'm just not fond of when the environment leads to resentment boiling over toward identity groups, like with one of our recently banned users increasingly hating trans people in general, or following users' personal lives with ongoing screenshots because they're a little too open with their lives in an illusory safe space open to the public.

Highlighting the lunacy of their moderation actions is reasonable. And when refugees stop over, this thread is a good way to decompress from all the groupthink pressure a lot of people are under there 24/7. We've picked up some cool people that way. The rest of it we can do without. Nuking this thread is under consideration for those reasons.

Wow, will be a shame. Didn't know someone was doing that or it was a factor.

Will miss the thread when gone, could you archive it maybe? (minus those posts, I never saw them or participated in them)

Strictly to only re-visit the funny parts.

Eh this thread was the whole reason I came back here in the first place. Sacrificing users and discussions for the sake of what you percieve as the "greater good" is kind of what got you into this situation in the first place imo. Not sure if I support valuing content over discussion.

Oh well, still lots of other good forums to contribute too though. If this thread goes, so do I unfortunately. There is a line and I think you're crossing it slightly for a lot of folks here.

ACAB rhetoric had even poisoned the threads and discussions about Astral Chain over there. Some posters were trying to shame peoples excited for an anime apocalypse cop because ACAB..







In short, yes, everything including cops should turn into an anti-cop thing, regardless of where it's from, if it's fictional or not, if it's set in the USA or not, if it's in the future or present, and so on.

this ban is just so fucking hilarious, they aren’t “deciding what should be offensive to others” they are just literally stating that they asked their wife who is Japanese and she didn’t see a problem with it. THAT IS IT.

Era is fucking crazy town, you cannot post an opinion at all, I’m just flabbergasted at the bans that go on there, they really are fucking stupid.
"doesn't give you the license to decide what should be offensive for others"

Excuse me, hold my beer while I judge what people should be offended by

Please don’t close, where else am I gonna get my comedy?

Yeah. That thread turned into a circle jerk of attacking her quite fast. When pictures and jokes about her nose started I noped out. I was "really, guys?"

Had to request a thread ban to stop being able to respond. It was hard to read tbh

Good that it’s closed IMO

I'm just happy that the Alanah Pearce thread is gone. That thread represented the worst of GAF, imho.

Same. To someone browsing the site for the first time it gave a very bad impression (like, incel red pill bad), even though the amount of people who hold such opinions don't feel numerous here. I don't ever report people (99.9% sure I've never reported anyone), but I considered reporting that thread.
