Thread is no longer about The Office and is now locked.

Regarding the ban in the OP: Even if the joke is supposed to be at Michael's expense, celebrating how "unfiltered" he is for putting on yellowface has made some Asian members uncomfortable. They're not wrong to feel that way.

Shut it all down:
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Given the number of confessions that are breaking both site rules and the OP's own rules, this thread will remain locked until further notice. We are really disappointed by the state of this thread. This is supposed to be for fun, and while shocking confessions are part of that, bigotry and misogyny have to be red lines.

We'll be having conversations with the community and OP to figure out if the thread has a future and what the future should look like.

This ban is absolutely ridiculous and closing the thread with that statement is cowardly.
OP literally got banned for liking The Office, the most watched show on Netflix.
B-Dubs said:
He wasn't banned for liking The Office. He was banned for dismissing the racism in the scene as just "no filter." A thread in which we are discussing how best to handle bigotry isn't the place to talk about how certain kinds of bigotry aren't so bad. Do not hijack the thread over a single ban, given this is not what this thread is about.
Then maybe we should have a thread for that, because there is no place for it currently.

free subpar spatula

I remember when Spatula came back to GAF to tell us all to be better people so we would fit in at Reset. Maybe if he changes and becomes better Reset will unban him.

Poor mods can’t ban anonymous people.
That's why they wanted the acephobic anonymous confessor revealed. But now not only do we not know who that person was we don't know who the acephobic mods still in power are. No wonder Ketkat has refused to return and save more lives, she knows the forum is unsafe.

B-dubs is a massive tool, it's always him posting shit like that.
 
Shut it all down:

This is so crass, wow. Shocking, gross, angering, sad and silly confessions were *the point* of that thread.

Now it's shut down because of some insecure trannies and femi-fascists. Sad. Resetera lost a cool tradition.

What happened, did someone confess to being a fan of Colin Moriarty or Dave Chappelle?

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Just thought of coming back to GAF after a long hiatus to post in this thread. I was permabanned on ERA for a post asking for help at the mental health thread. They could've just send me to a platform that can help me with my mental issues, but Era doesn't care about flawed people admitting their past mistakes and wanting to improve themselves.

I'm currently feeling a little better now since I spoke to a friend on Discord, though its going to be a huge struggle.

Were you the one talking about creeping on underage girls?
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Resetera is basically a forum that doesn’t want you to post your opinions, basically better you don’t post at all (so much for a forum). 🤷‍♂️
 
Subpar Spatula is a known troll. Like, he's straight up admitted to it IIRC (I forgot who said this, but I'm pretty sure they post in here). Funny to see how long it took him to get banned, even if it'll probably only be for a week or so.

Also I'm calling bullshit on anyone in AsianEra actually being offended by that. The issues they have with the site aren't about offensive jokes or shit like that.

Let's all pray that this racist asshole can learn how to change and become better, so that Era might accept him back and he can resume shitposting and pretending like he's a good person.

Is 'That Pure Potato'
lol, that Office thread.

Every single day since the trans controversy, there's been some kind of attack on the mods from multiple posters. This isn't Twitter with hundreds of millions of users, it's a video game forum with maybe 3k active regular posters at most. This should not be happening and the fact it does consistently and without fail should tell you something about either the userbase or the staff.

It seems to be a handful of non-admin moderators. Like the one who closed the thread, he pops up with that same naked, powerless-outside-of-ResetEra aggression all the time. That's a transparent, frustrated person.

Oh hey look they're cancelling Daisy Ridley now because some reporter asked her if her privileged upbringing is relevant to anything and she refused to give them the satisfaction of bowing down and apologizing for having the temerity of being born into a wealthy family.

User Banned (3 Months): defending the use of blackface

I dunno, I thought Robert Downey Jr.'s blackface character in tropic thunder was funny, and not because of the blackface itself. Again, context is very important.

I don't think I've ever seen a 3 month ban... Still, though, Tropic Thunder wouldn't fly at all in today's climate. I do wonder how RDJ has escaped their wrath.

The last three month ban I remember was for spreading the right-wing myth that Enzom21 showed a light-skinned hand in a video and then immediately disappeared from a community he'd been constantly posting in for over five years.

It seems like A tier "trans" trolls have opened pandora's box on era. It's spreading fairly fast, like I don't think I could post in the south park OT now. The mods should just adopt anal subreddit rules and auto reject posts that include triggered keywords. Speaking of South park, they already did this...era's following the troll trace plot.

Also I'm still laughing how Ron Paul got banned for 2 weeks for acknowledging a porn star in a thread about said porn star a hot minute after being demodded.

Oh, shit! teh_pwn. Another old name. I loved your posts in the old nutrition threads around here. Nice to see you.

Haha, yeah I'm old and married now. I haven't figured out how to handle dieting and marriage. I was a feisty poster years back.

My account never was disabled nor is it over there or the bire. I just go where the discussion is and right now era is at a crossroads. These new ban policies are not conductive to discussion.

Good to see you around nevertheless! Be careful posting in this thread, though. There are a lot of vindictive mods looking to ban anyone they can finger for "cross-forum drama."
 
I'm anticipating at least 1 or 2 more mod retires before the end of the year. There's no way what is happening there right now is good for their mental health, and most of them are a mess as it is.

For this thread. Based on the American office.

“How come season 1 is hated? This shit is golden. Micheal is basically super unfiltered. I am in the Dundies and he has literally Asian glasses in in Chilis as the camera zooms in on an Asian woman.”

“I super get it is offensive but it seems tailored to be humorous and make a point Micheal is an awful person.”

Is the over top rudeness why season 1 is hated?

So after said post was made, a couple of pages go by.

Lots of arguing about whether or not the American Office is better or worse then the
British office.

But halfway through the topic the OP gets banned for something along the lines of dismissising racism.

And to the credit of the Resetera posters, they call the mods out. Which eventually ends in the topic being closed.

With all due respect, do you think anyone here gives a shit about what happens in the other place man? Don’t mind talking about it but definitely doesn’t deserve it’s own thread. Join here please to understand the fuckery they’ve been living in

Mista if it was a random quote on Twitter, from some nobody, it would be an interesting topic.

It just happens that this particular instance is closely related with those who post here.

Banned for 'dismissing racism'? What the shit? He was just pointing out a feature of the show in which Michael Scott is an insensitive boob. Same thing with David Brent in the original UK office. They're both horrible bosses not because they're tyrants but because they're extreme narcissists who try to act cool and friendly with their subordinates instead of, you know, acting like a boss and giving them direction.

Reported. Dismissing racism...
 
Who gives a fuck about individual retard era posters. They choose to post there so why should we give a fuck when they get banned?

Majority of them dropped this place at the barest hint of a rumour against evilore, why should we cheer for them when they come crawling back
