He's not even doing the dismissing.  He's saying, given the circumstances, the perception of a Christian actor is not by itself controversial to general society.  Banned for not agreeing to conceive of an alternate view of reality.   :sabu

Oh, man how could I forget "cacs." It even pre-dates "yt" if I'm not mistaken.
cacs entered the GAF/ERA sphere from here (which got it from real world black people and the whites who post on The Coli), I even got banned on GAF for using it :lol

As a white guy with a ethnic sounding last name that got purposefully mispronounced for laughs when I was a kid, fuck off dude. It made me embarrassed to even exist at times.
Is it really that traumatic to have your name mispronounced as a joke? MAYBE if you're the only foreigner in a large group of people, i can see that, but otherwise?
When i was in school (and i mean from elementary school on) 90% of kids (me included) had their surname twisted into some kind of joke, suicide rate didn't sky rocket, it was just taken as banter.

I don't know what the fuck is going on with people, i don't like to tell someone to grow a thicker skin but c'mon.

My last name is weird, even for Italy.  When I got to America, a lot of people, of all different colors commented or joked about it.  It was so traumatic I signed up to The Bire to cope.  Now everyone here is just okay with making fun of peoples names?  Droves.  We're all leaving in droves.

Hardcore atheist groups and communities were some of the core voices of anti-feminism that made mra recruiting more effective via YouTube Indoctrination.

Hardcore Atheism can reproduce patriarchal hierarchies only the argument becomes men are biologically superior instead of spiritually

I mean there's a grain of truth here but sweetnicole can't articulate properly

what goes beyond religion is your worldview, and the lack of religious beliefs can inform your worldview as much as a religious one

a tendency to see religious people as dumb/deluded, and therefore seeing large swaths of the population as dumb/deluded, and how that influences everyday interactions...a tendency to be more questioning of authority, or of rules in general...etc. etc.

not all atheists are the same but it's become increasingly clear that not all religious people are the same either, even if the rules of what they believe should make them more similar

This is both a reaction thread AND a metacommentary thread, both of which are disallowed. As such, it has been locked. If you want to discuss moderation policy, feel free to post in the Constructive Community Feedback thread.

On the topic the thread is trying to address: people have already brought up our internal reasoning for locking the initial thread. The demographics that make up astrology believers and the right for people to believe what they choose so long as those beliefs do not hurt others were both on our mind, amongst other factors. We don't think that asking you all to live and let live is a particularly tough ask, and threads of that nature will be locked going forwards.

If you say something someone believes is nonsense and they react badly to that, that seems like a fairly normal and expected reaction, regardless of what the belief is, no?

If your beliefs are threatened by criticism or mockery and you take it personally, that's definitely a you problem.

Harmful beliefs do not deserve protection or deference. But even so much as saying a belief is harmful feels like a personal attack to some believers. It is what it is.

Yeah, you come across as totally wholesome and not hostile at all here. Clearly you have a few lessons to teach about respecting others and not being a self-important blowhard, eh?

Also this is really gross honestly because a lot of people felt like shit at being categorized based on their Zodiac sign, but sure they're just incels who were being smug or whatever the fuck. Absolute horseshit.

Cyberpunk was Kaiju’s shining moment. That’s why they’re like the fat drunk high school quarterback now in their early 40’s, perched on a bar stool in a dingy local bar, constantly making it about that time.

“I got a game nearly banned once. Biggest game of the era.” *sniffles* “I mattered and brought it down low. Even platinum’d it and the other fuckers couldn’t say nothing. That’s how much clout I had.” *sniffles* “Another one here, Tommy!”

Lol, I remember astro announcing on not getting the game but apparently a friend let him borrow his Steam account which has Cyberpunk and installed it, played a bit to and enjoyed it but oh no he was looking like a hypocrite so had to uninstall it..but it was soooo good and was glad his friend didn't get a refund so reinstalled it and played all the way.

People mock Christianity all the time on here. There's an entire thread going on right now about a funny Mormon sexual practice. Something like mocking Judaism and Islam wouldn't be permitted because of the historical connotations in the context of western history with these religions, this being a primarily western message board.

People who believe in modern astrology and horoscopes, however, are not exactly an oppressed group.
This ^ And look at Scientology too, or Jehovah's Witnesses, everyone agree it's fair game to roast their beliefs.

That said honestly criticizing those other religious is acceptable too. Just don't punch down when you go about it.

the only reason the accusations matter (on era) is because that's the way era conducts itself in every other situation

of course the things she said were probably fine, but they permaban others for much less, so...?

It's no use.  They justified defending the inanity of crystal witch magic by saying a small portion of women, who are marginalized minorities, take part in it.  These people are not reachable.

Just for reference, here's the Islamophobia by Morrigan as recorded by Bronson Lee who was the original accuser:
Quote from: Morrigan
Religious beliefs are not inherently deserving of respect
Quote from: Morrigan
You hate Islam, not Muslims. I'd say you're good.
Quote from: Morrigan
Do killers who are not motivated by Islam typically shout "Allahu Akbar!"?
Quote from: Morrigan
It is not the only religion to be inherently oppressive to women (all Abrahamic religions are guilty), but that's not a defense at all.

Many Muslims will throw wall o' texts full of mental gymnastics to prove otherwise, but it's all denial and hand-waving.
Quote from: Morrigan
Hating a religion doesn't make one a bigot though.
Quote from: Morrigan
Islam gets plenty of mockery too (and plenty of butthurt apologists who whine about islamophobia and "respecting beliefs", as if any belief were inherently worthy of respect).

Well seeing that exchange, I can't believe she is with him.

But when someone point a blind spot and you are defending yourself with "intentions" or "schoolyard jokes", it's not blind spot anymore. It's basic "white cisgenre hetero man" (which I am too) discourse.

Just for reference, here's the Islamophobia by Morrigan as recorded by Bronson Lee who was the original accuser:
Quote from: Morrigan
Religious beliefs are not inherently deserving of respect
Quote from: Morrigan
You hate Islam, not Muslims. I'd say you're good.
Quote from: Morrigan
Do killers who are not motivated by Islam typically shout "Allahu Akbar!"?
Quote from: Morrigan
It is not the only religion to be inherently oppressive to women (all Abrahamic religions are guilty), but that's not a defense at all.

Many Muslims will throw wall o' texts full of mental gymnastics to prove otherwise, but it's all denial and hand-waving.
Quote from: Morrigan
Hating a religion doesn't make one a bigot though.
Quote from: Morrigan
Islam gets plenty of mockery too (and plenty of butthurt apologists who whine about islamophobia and "respecting beliefs", as if any belief were inherently worthy of respect).
Quote from: Morrigan
Zelda games (and most Nintendo IPs) are overrated

After reading these quotes, I am ready to conquer the holy land for the pope

Astros working hard in the girlfriend reviews thread to make the boyfriend A LIAR because he said era portrays them as alt-right chuds and only a noticeable portion of posters try and do that in every single thread about them, not everyone in every thread about them.

In exactly the way he noticeably fucking doesn't when people claim era is not a safe space for leaving in droves minorities

But only one person actually said alt-right! Sure, others called them shitheels, said they promoted fascists, accused them of palling around with white supremacists, spread hate content, were a gateway to bigotry, said the relationship was creepy and he probably was holding her as a sex slave, etc. but only one person actually literally said alt-right and that's true! CLAIM DEBUNKED.

This is some "I am very smart" shit, and this thread is going to be locked.

If this is your take as former admin on this site, and current admin/mods feel the same way, I do not foresee a healthy future for this forum. It's certainly concerning given how off-base it is. I wasn't trying to be snarky or elitist in the slightest, yet that seems to be your suggestion.

You're quite literally proving my point.

There's a difference between pseudoscience and religion, to be clear. The lack of religious beliefs is as much a religious belief as anything else, and the lack of beliefs can be just as harmful as anything else. There's really no moral high ground; we're all pretty terrible at using our beliefs as a weapon against others to justify our moral superiority.

Yikes. This type of relativism is just awful, and among the lowest hanging fruit there is. Not everything is the same thing.

This is both a reaction thread AND a metacommentary thread, both of which are disallowed. As such, it has been locked. If you want to discuss moderation policy, feel free to post in the Constructive Community Feedback thread.

On the topic the thread is trying to address: people have already brought up our internal reasoning for locking the initial thread. The demographics that make up astrology believers and the right for people to believe what they choose so long as those beliefs do not hurt others were both on our mind, amongst other factors. We don't think that asking you all to live and let live is a particularly tough ask, and threads of that nature will be locked going forwards.

I'm now wondering if any moderation staff did any research whatsoever into the demographics of believers in astrology, or if it was as entirely feels based as astrology itfuckingself

Not true.
Quote from: Aerith
Way to completely undersell the trauma such abuse inflicts on marginalised people like Nepenthe. As a Black, NB person who is vocal in threads concerning very difficult and harmful topics that impact her very life, Nepenthe receives much more abuse than you can ever imagine, you absolute coward.
Way to complete discount Nepenthe's behavior (and the staff's continued enslavement of her) as related to why she receives any criticism.

Are you even a member of any of the group's targeted in those screenshots?
Irrelevant.
Quote from: Android Sophia
A lot of what happened as an admin traumatized me.
No, it didn't.

I know REEEE mods/admins read here, so allow me to pontificate a bit.  I served three tours of duty.  Some of what I saw and dealt with I would not wish on my worst enemy.  Like having to hold in a 5 year olds intestines because a IED exploded too quickly.  That's trauma.  People using "naughty" words and/or making fun of you on a FUCKING VIDEO GAME FORUM is not trauma.

Get fucked, Sophia.

Ever had someone mispronounce your name, while over there?

Oh yeah.  It hurts so deep.  But after the eighth funeral I had to attend and give a flag to a widow because my unit was used as a suicide squad, I got over it.

Do they realize how patronizing it is to say that we should pretend Astrology and pseudo-sciences aren't fucking distinguished mentally-challenged, just because more women read the horoscope?

Are women and LGBT people like children, shielded from the absence of Santa Claus?
It betrays a paternalistic belief that these people are idiots, incapable of rational thought, lacking the emotional maturity to question their (silly) beliefs.
that's some 19th century shit. :tophat

Venus is currently in Orion's Belt and that's affecting my motivational chakra, so I called my boss to tell her I can't come to work for the next 14 days and I would have to take special religious leave.

Does anyone have any jobs going?

In exactly the way he noticeably fucking doesn't when people claim era is not a safe space for leaving in droves minorities

The fact more than one person called them alt-right for playing the fucking Mario Maker level of a dude that hugged Jontron once and didn't get banned for it justifies everything Shelby and Matt feel about the forum.  That's two degrees of separation in an industry where most people are at most one degree away from someone truly awful (by Era's standards) including friggin Geoff Keighley.

Astro is a dumbass.

it's the game people play online where there are so many people talking about bullshit that you can guarantee at least one person has said any given thing on any given topic

everybody has a throng of cheering fans and everybody gets death threats

so you can say anything you want about the discourse to either engage with positivity, or attempt to win via pity points

In this case, "Ree" is mostly one mod/admin who thinks they're a witch, and all the other mods have to play the usual political jiujitsu to cover her ass.
