What is the purpose of this thread, really? To point at Era and laugh? Then what?
This is just another example of teamsport politics that is bankrupting this country.
Do you really think gaf is better? I’ve had a random poster I don’t even know attack me personally on this forum for what he perceived as liberal beliefs. Gaf seems better just because of low traffic. Once it picks up, more such people will be here and it’ll be the same thing.
You want proof? This fucking thread. I shouldn’t need to point out the hypocrisy/irony in complaining about echochambers in thread created just to shit on another forum for leaning in the opposite political spectrum.
Y'all are some borderline obsessed people. Seek help
I hope this thread isn't closed because of postings such as this. Why can't you accept a thread that you have no interest in? I'm honesty baffled and don't understand it.
Well there is discussion about the toxicity of old NeoGaf, which is completely relevant since we're building new NeoGaf and don't want to fall in the same situation again, and there's keeping talking about the people who left and commenting on what they're doing now. It's time to cut the cord.
I do have an interest in the thread. It’s why I posted in it. My interest is to point out the hypocrisy in an attempt to steer gaf in the right direction. The entire point of this thread is to point at “them whinny reeeee libruls” and laugh. This has the unintended effect of reducing the issues discussed there to a caricature which in turn makes them easier to “hate” because our side is “better.”I hope this thread isn't closed because of postings such as this.

This is how echochambers form. Era has problems. So does Gaf. This thread is antithetical to what gaf is striving for.
That’s why I posted.

I understand that you as a liberal feel bad for that. But the fact is that Resetera is not even liberal, they are SJW in the most pure form.
If you don't want to read people laughing at them, you can leave the thread whenever you want.
So, this thread is kind of an answer to what has been said on "their site" and some discords?
Mm...
Eh... This is not going to end well.
I love pointing and laughing at that freakshow but a thread dedicated to it is a bit much. We're dangerously approaching voat territory.
There is no hypocrisy here. It's to keep discussion about Resetera in one place instead of it appearing in multiple threads, and it'd to show how crazy these people are.
I don't agree with you comparing NeoGAF to Resetera in any way. NeoGAF is now a place for discussion, and you'd have to be ignorant, if not lying to deny that and call it 'a different kind of echo chamber'. Most active threads are filled with varying opinions, and nobody insults the other or pushes for their ban. This one thread also won't change that.
Resetera to me is a website similar to stormfront, Breitbart or Voat. They're beyond reason, they're destructive, but they get a lot of mainstream attention. That's what makes them dangerous, thus this thread to show people what's going on there.
NeoGAF isn't perfect and you'll sometimes find an idiot crossing the line of topics such as racism, sexism, etc.. But that's absolutely incomparable to what's going on 'there'.
It's neither unnecessary nor unfair to have this thread. It's important. And well deserved. And in the end: it's just one thread. You'll survive
While this is true and the likely outcome, it is also possible to use the examples as things to not do. We shouldn't be trying to be on a side so much as trying to prove rational discussion and acceptance of multiple views is very possible. We should be working together to understand our view points and help to enlighten each other in a productive way.
Unfortunately, I don't think we're quite there right now. A lot of the knee jerk, angry, immature behavior exist here, it's just a lot less obvious due to current volume.
I really hope over time this forum becomes the place where balanced, aware and intelligent people come to discuss a variety of subjects, rather then forming a hostile echo chamber or a place that actually is backwards in terms of political and social subjects.

I'm still serving my month ban for asking why the term "cuck" is so offensive. The mods are basically Nazis which is kinda ironic.
butwhy.gifI mean I guess yes it is. Just wait for them to have one popup on their end.
How can someone leak something from a public forum?I know one of the ERA Founders has an account on there. Coincidentally another site they accused me of leaking site stuff on.
The thought that a bunch of users comes to this forum to vent mostly when they are banned/want to say something bannable on "the other side", is not entertaining. Yet that's exactly how it looks like. That on top of the ethical issues of such "venting".I think you're taking this all a bit to seriously no?
