I want to stop masturbating because it has demonstrably affected my studies and scheduling in a negative manner (for example I'd get horny before doing my homework so I'd masturbate, but then I'd end up falling asleep bc I got too tired from my orgasm and thus miss my homework)

Literally has the brain of an ape

I should have kept reading the replies in that thread:

I try but I keep getting horny man, doesn't help that:

My fetish isn't NSFW at all since it's about people growing up/improving themselves (stuff like working out), so I don't even need porn to get horny, like one of the most common things I jerk off to is just imagining Tomoko Kuroki from Watamote properly maturing in her uni years by having a proper sleep schedule (which got rid of her dark eye bags in my headcanon/"sexual" fantasy) and exercising for once by joining her uni's track & field team (because in the comics she's shown to be surprisingly decent at marathons even tho she doesn't realize it), which finally allowed her body to properly mature (because in my headcanon she has delayed puberty, since like she's supposed to be 15-17 but she hasn't grown at all from her middle school even as the story progresses through her high school years, and she hasn't experienced a period either)

Wait, I mean I shouldn't have kept reading the replies in that thread.

i cant help but wonder if people that are for not giving away their password have done illegal shit on their computer, and that's why they are for it obviously.

Much like Samus, god is a poorly written fictional character who seems compelling to people with nothing else in their lives

So God is a message board?

Hold up, care to explain this one? How can you be both pansexual AND lesbian? They contradict each other, it would be like me saying I'm bi and straight.

Thank you mods

"I am only attracted to women. I am also attracted to men, and anything."

I have said it before and I will say it again - 1984 larp.  Direct contradiction is intentional, blind acceptance is mandatory. It's a cult.  They're a fucking cult.

I’m guessing it means I’ll take clit and girl dick, no icky cis men tho

User Banned (2 weeks): sexist dogwhistles

Her criticism has Merritt, but Anita has a habit throughout her career to make it about her and not necessarily about the movement. And I know about the ungodly amount of harassment she gets, death threats. Which no one should go through or experience.

But I would argue if she was more part of a panel of representatives for the movement. It would not be all directed to singular person who tweets about the issue to bring levity to it.

IV seen her at panels, she comes off sometimes as a bully, and self-righteous. Gets to be on Colbert, gets tons of attention. Instead of the movement or group that she represents.

And that's my issue with how she comes off when talking about certain topics.

She makes it about her.

this is my new favorite meme, other than the PTSD the mods all have

This is enough to get someone banned and yet they whine about rampant sexism being everywhere 

[benjipwns]

Unfortunate that Amir0x is already back in the pokey, he could have tried "in my headcanon she has delayed puberty" this time.

Who, while in the throes of wild onanistic passion, doesn’t think of 15 year olds working out, getting enough rest, and conveniently aging just enough to be legal, before they spurt a meager load on their stomach and pass out.

Lmao a mod removed “inappropriate content”. Why not ban the creepy pervoid.

So because it can be used to set a precedent in lesser crimes, something as simple as a password can't be retrieved by someone committing one of societys most agregious crimes? That sounds completely nonsensical. When the government finally decides to erradicate our rights it will happen with or without this case being used as an example.

Makes sense to me. #KamalaHarrisForThePeople

Pretty much everyone on Era has poor mental health every time it’s asked.

Many people here don’t seem to even know where to start or the basic differences between psychiatrists vs counselors vs psychologists.

Someone should probably make some kind of “First Timer’s Guide to Mental Health.” I would do it but I don’t really have time or the desire.

This is Ketkat erasure!

Well, yeah, have a list of fucking rules visible to posters, and then ban the people who break those rules is how most mods on most forums function, and they manage to do so without getting so much cognitive dissonance about how to justify bending the rules that some protected asshole is violently shitting all over because some other mod declared them as member of their tribe that they're fucking self harming over it.

But then just being a fucking forum janitor minus the drama doesn;t let you play the victim card I guess

Kyuuji ran into an issue where a thread wasn't about them enough so they had to word vomit all over it to make sure they got more attention

Ok, if this is the routine for the thread let's stop referring to the past few weeks as "drama" or an "issue" that others have had to put up with, because it seems it's too detached for 99% of the forum to appreciate we're talking about human beings there as well.

-- -- -- -- --
Note: This isn't aimed at the staff posts or staff / ex-staff. Staff have every right to post and express their thoughts and I'm glad they do. Part of healing this divide is diminishing the perceived wall between us. More will be coming out soon but in the background TransEra x staff communication is positive. Things have happened recently and elements are coming soon that will start to make the trans community feel better and repair the divide. It's warming to see, and something that everyone is keen to ensure is afforded to, and works for, the broader minority groups on the forum too. Going through the past few months is something I would rather not experience again. The past fortnight one staff would rather not as well. We're working to achieve that.
-- -- -- -- --

Warning: This will come across frustrated, because it is built upon a largely-unvoiced frustration by the community.
It will cover things that are now being resolved, because the context is important.

This is at those on the forum that can't resist throwing a shot at the past couple of weeks as being something overblown – the same shit these entire events aim to address. The concern trolls that think they're smart for playing at the child's table without considering the possibility that the adults have been discussing at the dinner table, and the side they think they're on doesn't actually exist.

So, I'll kindly ask you to step outside of whatever wank-group you've gathered around the lunchbox digestives and realise that the 'mob' (or similar) you refer to are people and that half the dumb shit you want to ask you wouldn't have the spine to do so to a group of trans people in real life. I've heard reams about how people can't talk about sensitive issues now because they've been asked to show a degree of tact or consideration before doing so. Pages of it. How do you think that sits - hearing endless whines about how difficult it is to show the most minimal veneer of respect to us as people?

Mental tolls?

How about going months with threads about yourself, your identity and your issues being the least approachable place to go. That in order to engage on a topic that matters to you, you're forced to ensure an unending latrine of being mocked, insulted or dismissed until you tapped out or the thread died. That if you didn't, there's going to be transphobic bile covering the walls and ceilings of the thread like that's supposed to be the norm.

That you operate between not being able to release that frustration for fear of being banned, and not wanting to be banned because then the people that literally track and harass LGBTQ+ members of the forum might descend like wolves to laugh at you on every other medium you frequent. Better to shut the fuck up and put up with the abuse here and keep quiet than deal with that.

How about the people who face transphobic abuse at home, at school and come on to find more here?

Oh, a week? How about months.

Page 1: Discussion about or highlighting of issues
Page 2: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 3: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 4: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 5: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 6: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
etc.

Every fucking thread.

Some cisgender personality tells the non-binary community they're not worth apologising to before throwing out a transphobic joke and the thread is bursting at the seams with cis people telling us how to feel about it. People in there saying we're "too sensitive" about transphobia being normalised catching a warning while trans people are under the fucking ground because the notion of gender identity is still something to be mocked and rejected.

Then when after those months the staff finally draw focus to it?
50%: Boilerplate "transphobia is bad"
50%: This has made the moderators feel bad, please think about them.
0%: Acknowledgement of the mental toll taken by the trans community through the months, nothing even about the months.

How do you think it feels that when a months-long issue is finally highlighted it's immediately put upon you to feel bad for showing discontent? That despite it having been a growing issue over time with no intervention, we should feel bad for shouting loud enough that it finally got people to notice. Not the months of ignoring a festering situation, no us for finally reaching breaking point with it.

This isn't some shitty The Last Jedi drama that might be the most significant thing that impacts you here, it was a serious concern that after a lot of time, pain and hurt is being addressed. Why some of you think you're being smart by trying to sidle up to the mods with the "psh these guys, right?" attitude and think it's going to afford you warmth from either side I don't know.

Want to speak of people dropping out?

Moderators step down for wholly understandable reasons and they can post here, receive warranted affection for the work and commitment put into the community and (hopefully) start leaving most of the stress behind them. That's how it should be.

I want to talk about the trans people who left the forum feeling shit at best and thinking themselves unnatural at worst. The members here that now only feel comfortable talking about trans topics -- topics about them-fucking-selves -- in Discord and will ignore trans related topics on the forum because they don't have the stamina to run the gauntlet every time. The trans people for whom this forum was the only place they feel valid while facing abuse at home or work, them being forced further into the dark.

People not so concerned about them on the whole though. Just eye-rolled as "drama" or not even entered as a thought into the mind.

---

The past few months have been difficult. Not the past week.

It is a situation that needed to come to the fore. It having impacted staff negatively is shit. I don't enjoy that. Delphine is one of my favourite people on the forum because all of her posts exude warmth, and topics with her in are some of the most joyous I've been a part of. I think she's an exemplary mod. I hate that she felt shit. I know for a fact she hates that I felt shit. No one wants to feel like shit, yet through the resulting mess many were made to feel so.

The moderators acknowledge all of this and are working with us to create a better environment for trans people and minorities in general. I just wish more people here would, instead of suggesting we've been a nuisance or doing so infringes too much on their right to post bluntly and without consideration.

That despite it having been a growing issue over time with no intervention, we should feel bad for shouting loud enough that it finally got people to notice. Not the months of ignoring a festering situation, no us for finally reaching breaking point with it.

This isn't some shitty The Last Jedi drama that might be the most significant thing that impacts you here, it was a serious concern that after a lot of time, pain and hurt is being addressed. Why some of you think you're being smart by trying to sidle up to the mods with the "psh these guys, right?" attitude and think it's going to afford you warmth from either side I don't know.

Want to speak of people dropping out?

Moderators step down for wholly understandable reasons and they can post here, receive warranted affection for the work and commitment put into the community and (hopefully) start leaving most of the stress behind them. That's how it should be.

I want to talk about the trans people who left the forum feeling shit at best and thinking themselves unnatural at worst. The members here that now only feel comfortable talking about trans topics -- topics about them-fucking-selves -- in Discord and will ignore trans related topics on the forum because they don't have the stamina to run the gauntlet every time. The trans people for whom this forum was the only place they feel valid while facing abuse at home or work, them being forced further into the dark.

People not so concerned about them on the whole though. Just eye-rolled as "drama" or not even entered as a thought into the mind.

The past few months have been difficult. Not the past week.

It is a situation that needed to come to the fore. It having impacted staff negatively is shit. I don't enjoy that. Delphine is one of my favourite people on the forum because all of her posts exude warmth, and topics with her in are some of the most joyous I've been a part of. I think she's an exemplary mod. I hate that she felt shit. I know for a fact she hates that I felt shit. No one wants to feel like shit, yet through the resulting mess many were made to feel so.

The moderators acknowledge all of this and are working with us to create a better environment for trans people and minorities in general. I just wish more people here would, instead of suggesting we've been a nuisance or doing so infringes too much on their right to post bluntly and without consideration.

Tldr

i dunno i didn't read it. i figured if i posted here some auty would handle that part

[thisismyusername]

TLJ is a critically acclaimed award winning film that knew exactly what it wanted to be though. RE6 was a muddled mess that didn't resonate with audiences or critics and caused Capcom to go back to the drawing board and reassess what makes RE games good. Really not a comparable situation.

So Disney didn't cancel the yearly Star Wars movie plans, refuse to acknowledge the announced Rhian Johnson trilogy, and bring back JJ Abrams for the third one?

Cheebo hates both RLM and Grace Randolph two people who don't drink the cool aid when it comes to Disney and the style of 'feminism' they push

Of course both have been accused of 'alt right' signalling according to the ding bats on Reeeee

I want to stop masturbating because it has demonstrably affected my studies and scheduling in a negative manner (for example I'd get horny before doing my homework so I'd masturbate, but then I'd end up falling asleep bc I got too tired from my orgasm and thus miss my homework)

Literally has the brain of an ape

I should have kept reading the replies in that thread:

I try but I keep getting horny man, doesn't help that:

My fetish isn't NSFW at all since it's about people growing up/improving themselves (stuff like working out), so I don't even need porn to get horny, like one of the most common things I jerk off to is just imagining Tomoko Kuroki from Watamote properly maturing in her uni years by having a proper sleep schedule (which got rid of her dark eye bags in my headcanon/"sexual" fantasy) and exercising for once by joining her uni's track & field team (because in the comics she's shown to be surprisingly decent at marathons even tho she doesn't realize it), which finally allowed her body to properly mature (because in my headcanon she has delayed puberty, since like she's supposed to be 15-17 but she hasn't grown at all from her middle school even as the story progresses through her high school years, and she hasn't experienced a period either)

Wait, I mean I shouldn't have kept reading the replies in that thread.

How are these folx so damn cozy being pedos

[HaughtyFrank]

Kyuuji ran into an issue where a thread wasn't about them enough so they had to word vomit all over it to make sure they got more attention

Ok, if this is the routine for the thread let's stop referring to the past few weeks as "drama" or an "issue" that others have had to put up with, because it seems it's too detached for 99% of the forum to appreciate we're talking about human beings there as well.

-- -- -- -- --
Note: This isn't aimed at the staff posts or staff / ex-staff. Staff have every right to post and express their thoughts and I'm glad they do. Part of healing this divide is diminishing the perceived wall between us. More will be coming out soon but in the background TransEra x staff communication is positive. Things have happened recently and elements are coming soon that will start to make the trans community feel better and repair the divide. It's warming to see, and something that everyone is keen to ensure is afforded to, and works for, the broader minority groups on the forum too. Going through the past few months is something I would rather not experience again. The past fortnight one staff would rather not as well. We're working to achieve that.
-- -- -- -- --

Warning: This will come across frustrated, because it is built upon a largely-unvoiced frustration by the community.
It will cover things that are now being resolved, because the context is important.

This is at those on the forum that can't resist throwing a shot at the past couple of weeks as being something overblown – the same shit these entire events aim to address. The concern trolls that think they're smart for playing at the child's table without considering the possibility that the adults have been discussing at the dinner table, and the side they think they're on doesn't actually exist.

So, I'll kindly ask you to step outside of whatever wank-group you've gathered around the lunchbox digestives and realise that the 'mob' (or similar) you refer to are people and that half the dumb shit you want to ask you wouldn't have the spine to do so to a group of trans people in real life. I've heard reams about how people can't talk about sensitive issues now because they've been asked to show a degree of tact or consideration before doing so. Pages of it. How do you think that sits - hearing endless whines about how difficult it is to show the most minimal veneer of respect to us as people?

Mental tolls?

How about going months with threads about yourself, your identity and your issues being the least approachable place to go. That in order to engage on a topic that matters to you, you're forced to ensure an unending latrine of being mocked, insulted or dismissed until you tapped out or the thread died. That if you didn't, there's going to be transphobic bile covering the walls and ceilings of the thread like that's supposed to be the norm.

That you operate between not being able to release that frustration for fear of being banned, and not wanting to be banned because then the people that literally track and harass LGBTQ+ members of the forum might descend like wolves to laugh at you on every other medium you frequent. Better to shut the fuck up and put up with the abuse here and keep quiet than deal with that.

How about the people who face transphobic abuse at home, at school and come on to find more here?

Oh, a week? How about months.

Page 1: Discussion about or highlighting of issues
Page 2: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 3: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 4: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 5: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
Page 6: Validate yourself and your concern to people mocking and dismissing
etc.

Every fucking thread.

Some cisgender personality tells the non-binary community they're not worth apologising to before throwing out a transphobic joke and the thread is bursting at the seams with cis people telling us how to feel about it. People in there saying we're "too sensitive" about transphobia being normalised catching a warning while trans people are under the fucking ground because the notion of gender identity is still something to be mocked and rejected.

Then when after those months the staff finally draw focus to it?
50%: Boilerplate "transphobia is bad"
50%: This has made the moderators feel bad, please think about them.
0%: Acknowledgement of the mental toll taken by the trans community through the months, nothing even about the months.

How do you think it feels that when a months-long issue is finally highlighted it's immediately put upon you to feel bad for showing discontent? That despite it having been a growing issue over time with no intervention, we should feel bad for shouting loud enough that it finally got people to notice.

Entirely safe for work on the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Of course it was that post, which was an obvious joke in the context of that thread

It is not our (or any of your) job to “educate” users on what they did wrong. The ban/warning message is the “hint” they get as to what was wrong, but it is ultimately on the individual poster to change their behavior.

just gonnna quote this message from a prior admin

If you're part of the ResetEra community and it bothers you that the discussion in threads is so toxic as to turn good people away (and it should), you need to realize that the onus is on you, the community, to try and make things better.

You excuse death threats and harassment against Era mods.

Just in case you think you're fooling anybody about how much you sincerely care about the toxicity around here.

you mean the person who single handely annihilated pc era ? and actively went out of his way to gut a community on here and when people spoke out he posted troly images in reply. and when people quoted him he would reply with dont quote me again.

proper top tier mod behaviour right there and was clearly fighting against toxicity at the time

You are still excusing death threats. So there should be no mistaking where you stand as a member of this community.

i mean it doesnt excuse the owner of this site saying gay slurs to someone in public and had a case about it. which you can actively find the report online if you search for the resetera llc owner name in google. there should be no mistake where the owner stands as the owner of this community i guess then ?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

huh.

So on the topic of "era mods you almost feel sorry for" and following that link from the attempted queen of hunting call out, turns out that BronsonLee not only didn't even get namechecked by a single member as a "oh, hey, what happened to that mod?" but full on nuked their account, which not only did nobody even noticed

bronson being a shitty mod and moronic human gave us metacouncil so that's a win as far as i can tell.
