I just want to (permanently) lose my burden of intelligence, and there are few ways to do that effectively / quickly. I've seen some legitimate research papers on the subject...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/dunkeys-e3-2020.256083/Dunkey cancelled. Seems like everyone just waited until he shat on their favorite company or something to have enough of him. e: the hell, I had no how long Dunkey's been around.

'm feeling all sorts of emotion... conflicted... excited, nervous. But I feel like I have to do this... I've been talking a lot about how I want to meet the woman I'm going to spend my life with, get the job I want to have and I feel like this is a first step towards that... but I'm also incredibly nervous, is that common?But yet, I have to do this, it's the first step towards a better life.
How old are you?
32 years old
I’m eager for his next update where he tells us about the first time making toast or changing the battery on his fire alarm. It’s all the necessary steps in meeting Woman X.
QuoteI think now's a good time for Lee to say "fuck these guys" though. They're trying to profit off his name and work.That was always the plan.Like, Jae Lee isn't some rando. He has a long and well-respected career in the industry. He and his art are pretty well-known in the industry. Van Sciver was always going to go to his Comicsgate crowd and go "Be sure to support our comic and cause by getting this variant by our boy, the illustrious Jae Lee!" He was always going to build that bridge between Jae Lee and Comicsgate, and this tweet of him capitalizing on King's callout was inevitable.Now Van Sciver's going to try to culture war this shit to fully swing Lee over to his side. Lee isn't out of this mess. He doesn't get to be out of this mess.

You know how bad Comicsgate was originally right?
How they post really racist shit on the regular and are insanely homophobic?
I feel like folks in here are downplaying how bad Comicsgate is.
Unfortunately for Lee, it is his responsibility at this point to at least say something.
QuoteI agree. The complete inconsistency in the site moderation/policy is ridiculous. They need to ban this guy. Giving a platform to a racist homophobe is pretty shitty. I have reported multiple posts in this thread with videos as to evidence of this saying he should be banned, yet no response.I actually messaged a mod in the last angry joe thread about me creating a thread to discuss youtubers and toxicity in the industry and how it could possibly be used to shape Era with regards to establishing lists of people that we won't platform here.The came back and said they took it to the other mods like I asked but I never heard back...

Can we have a mod post please? I dont want to explain why he is shitty so often.
Hey Transistor, B-Dubs, or Morrigan. Why is Dunkey still allowed here?
Hope so too. It's about time we get a statement from the mod team regarding his content on this website.
Just saw the big post with all the different videos where he says messed up stuff. Yep this guy is straight trash. Probably teaching a ton of kids to be horrible people.

I hear red dead doesn’t really take on the historical context of cowboys who were mainly just farmers. Also Mario does a colossal misservice to the plight of plumbers in the Italian American community.Mama mia!

if fakkit is definitively enough to deplatform a person on era, the floodgates are open https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/people/2015/03/26/12-celebrities-who-said-f-word
meanwhile the other guy was with the CIA.

the hard part about trying to cancel someone without watching their content is that you never know how easy it is to find to say, an Overwatch video, where dunkey clearly calls someone a fakkit
I remember seeing another poster catch a multi month ban for a similar thingWhy is telling people to take their much needed meds such a powder keg of a topic on Era?
At least for the US we can say people are admiring the "dream" of the country (because of movies and TV Shows) and don't know the reality of things. But China and Russia ? Yeeesh.
This is one of those "Am I crazy, or is everyone else crazy?" moments. Who in the world actively admires Russia? Is it more common in Europe and the former Soviet states? I had no idea this was a thing.
Results are based on face-to-face and telephone interviews with approximately 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, in each country or area. Between March 2019 and February 2020, residents were asked to rate U.S., German and Russian leadership in 135 countries or areas, and residents in 136 countries or areas were asked to rate the leadership of China.
Yeah.. China and Russia? Bots... ramping up those numbers.. unless people liked political oppression and a dwindling economy.
They're reading the right-wing alt-right Guardian article instead of looking at the poll, it's approval rating and even better, it only asked about those four countries:QuoteResults are based on face-to-face and telephone interviews with approximately 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, in each country or area.

Dunkey must be devastated. I guess his career is over. Will it be Karak or Dreamcast guy next?
#180Locking the thread while we review Dunkey's status on the forum
Does anyone have a list of all the shit they banned off of that forum
They must have approved a ton of new accounts. Wasn’t the user base holding steady at around 30,000? I wonder how many “Insensitivity from a low post count user in a sensitive thread” bans can we expect?
The difference between Facebook and Resetera is this. Facebook has more than 1.7 billion users. Twitter has 320 million users. Resetera has 50,000 users. If we shut down Facebook, we immediately halt the spread of ethnonationalism to potentially an audience of a billion people. If we shut down Resetera, we stop the spread of dank gaming memes between 50,000 people.Which case here do you think is worth the time?

(Image removed from quote.)I'm sure Dunkey can weather the storm.
Do your part and stop considering these people your friends. Have some standards.Don't laugh along or feel peer pressured to just deal with it. That's how they 'recruit' people.
That's how they 'recruit' people.
Considering the amount of bans they can be happy they're in the plus at allEdit: Thinking about it, banned members probably still count as member. It might only be those who requested a deletion that don't count as member anymore
