This describes my ex. For years she was very vocal on LGBTQ+ issues, refused to shop at stores with religious owners who would force those beliefs on their employees (such as Hobby Lobby not allowing contraceptives to be covered under their health insurance) and would call out bigotry when she saw it. Even helped educate me on issues I wasn't paying as much attention to as I should have been.

She's now married to an extreme right wing anti-vaxxer and supporter of the attempted insurrection who, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, was on Facebook posting laughing emojis about the fact that it's going to be harder for women to get abortions.

And when I say "extreme right wing," that's not an exaggeration. I'm talking about openly supporting white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys. A friend once sent me a long and very alarming post of his that he literally ended with "stand back and stand by."

It's honestly very scary how easily a person can throw their values aside. And the question of course then becomes, "Did they ever actually have those values in the first place?"

ZeroVagine traumatized this woman so much that she went from dating a raging liberal cuck soyboy to marrying a Stormfront premium member. 

Okay, but is she still vocally pro-LGBTQ+ and does she still refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby? Because you started off talking about her good deeds and then spent all the rest of your post talking about the guy she married and things he does on Facebook. (That you apparently have "a friend" keep tabs on for you.)

The funniest part about Era discourse on Bayonetta being a sexist male gazey product is the fact somewhere around 70% of positive internet engagement with her as a character (as in stuff unrelated to gameplay) comes from the LGBT community.  Era is the only place on the internet that doesn't seem to realize that.  Straight men by and large do not find her attractive, they just think she's cool.

AndroidSophia is such a weirdo that she's one of the few members I believe when they say nonsense like this.

Do not take this as an endorsement of their judgement on all topics however like the idiots over there do.

[benjipwns]

I (17ftm) am trans and came out to my family a few months ago. All in all, everyone has been supportive, although I believe my mom was a tiny bit bummed. She said she would always support me, though. She just needs time to process all of this. Which is honestly painful. But not the reason why I'm here.

My mom got a tattoo with my sister's name and my dead name after I was born. It's a huge tattoo with a unique design that incorporates her and my dead name. It covers most of her arm, and she is really proud of it because my old sister designed it and gifted it to her for her birthday.

Obviously, constantly seeing my dead name is kind of triggering to me. Therefore, I told her she needs to remove it.  She seemed shocked and told me she's too old for longer tattoo sessions. She hasn't gotten a tattoo in years, bc of that. She also was diagnosed with depression and such and uses it as an excuse for not having the energy to change it anymore. I don't really believe her, but whatever.

Now she is often trying to cover it up with clothes, but I feel like it's not enough. Just the knowledge that that... name is still there, it haunts me.  But she refuses to change it. We had a lot of fights because of it, and she said that she is really trying to hide it, but it's a part of her body that she is in love with, bc there is so much history and love for her children in that tattoo. I can't really relate, because I don't have any particularly significant tattoos.

Now, my birthday was a few days ago and some family came over, and the issue came up, bc my cousin was showing off her new tattoo and someone asked about the dead name tattoo.  My mom got uncomfortably silent and excused herself and went to the kitchen.  So, everyone started asking me what that was about, and I told them that I wanted her to remove the tattoo, but she doesn't want to. My sister also doesn't want her to, bc she believes it would look really awful, since the entire design is attached to the names and the only way to cover it would be to just make her entire arm black.

Anyway, I didn't actually plan for that reaction, but my cousin (who can relate a bit bc she's queer) for some reason got furious and went after my mom and screamed at her for being so unsupportive and accused her of being transphobic. Which I don't believe, although it was nice to see someone get angry about the tattoo, bc my cousin was finally saying some things I was feeling, but I didn't want to put into words.  My mom then had a panic attack and left the house. She is now staying with my grandpa, and my dad and my sister are angry at me for making some of my family gang up on her. AITA?

Samuel Paty

If they want to appeal to discuss what they MEANT, then fine, we can talk about it.

Tbh what wasn’t taken into account was the “this shouldn’t be shocking” line, which is borderline victim blaming and/or inherent disregard for Islam.

Let’s get back on topic.

Always circle the wagons.

Always.

EDIT: And HOW is "this shouldn't be shocking" victim blaming? The VICTIM is Rushdie, NOT Islam.

I still want Hecht to clarify this post. Dude really thought he had an amazing smoking gun there

Dusk Golem was here

I wish that was only a self aware joke on his part. Unfortunately he's about as funny as PlanetSmasher, and actually just a dumbass who gets off on attention, so not a chance. Claims it's not for clout but if you look at his reddit/twitter posts it's always me me me I got this special thing I wanted to share and I know more but I won't teehee! I'm retiring for the 19th time and I really mean that this time.

On reddit he responded to someone asking why he's leaking again: "I'm still feeling out where I want to be. I am seriously in a position I could hurt a lot of devs with things I'm starting to get ahold of, and I don't really want that. But I also can prove I'm not bullshitting, and I think some light teases and small things are fine, so feeling out what feels right basically. What causes only a little damage for devs (nothing too bad), is fun, and raises intrigue & discourse, plus people can see is true later."

Posting anything you aren't supposed to have is hurting multiple people professionally somewhere every time.

Lol, leaking is literally violence. Give me a break.

[benjipwns]

Look, the staff just made a mistake. The same mistake they always make. That's no reason to go on a witchhunt against them and ask them to Do Better. They already sacrifice so much for the community by learning everything possible about a topic so they know the correct view, like how any criticism of Islam is blasphemy bigotry, that attacking them for banning a proven bigot who posted something bigoted just helps the other bigots who hide their bigotry by not saying anything bigoted. Rather than distracting everyone by derailing threads into smears against the staff, people should stick to productive discussion and not try to start false outrage just because a bigot gets banned for saying bigotry. I think that thread has run its course because the only thing the bad actors (like those who make false accusations of sexual harassment against the staff) that make up the userbase will want to do is post more bigoted slurs against the staff and Islam.

Mods do an okay enough job (esp. for the pro bono work they do moderating this giant place), and aren't some perfect monolith that will do an arbitrarily perfect job of assessing each situation against a flurry of both agreeing or dissenting opinions.

Well this just comes across as hilarious tone deaf and out of touch, if not outright apologetic. And I hate the "well, they do it for free so don't critique them" mentality. It's a terrible cop out.

People say a lot of stuff here, and some of the topics are complicated and controversial. Try to work with the mod team and posters here, and less...

lol work with what exactly? The modding here is incredibly opaque. There's a token appeal system that no one actually responds to. And when mistakes are made or folks have issues, it's a "move on or we'll shut down the thread to stop people from talking about it".

Frankly, there kind of hilarious parallels to the American policing system that are blatant and deserves to be called out for what they are - a binary zero tolerance approach with an apparent lack of interest in understanding the community it moderates and so instead resorts to heavy handed tactics to achieve the "peace".

Working social media before you'd get accused of stuff you never even had cross your mind because you used a couple "wrong" words or have a different perspective.

I mean, you say that but that's literally the issue people have with all this. None of that is actually taken into account here by the mods. If it was, then I'd think we'd see a lot more actual engagement, especially in situations like this one - "hey, your post comes across as problematic for the following reasons. Is that what you actually meant or is the wording just a bit off?" Which, instead causing of a multipage thread derailment like you see here, would likely just result in a simple back and forth that could have helped shed some light on the matter. But that would require some, you know, effort.

Salman Rushdie fucked around and found out. Sometimes physical violence is an appropriate response to words. Anybody who suggests otherwise is Islamophobic or leads a sheltered life.

[Raist]

Gonna be real, most people probably haven't read the book and are going off what others said about it.

My family raised me to make sure I engaged with something before criticizing it. When The DaVinchi code came out and there was all that nonsense, my mom bought a copy a read it before taking any kind of stand. After she was done it went straight to my grandmother. Same with Harry Potter and same with The Satanic Verses. Hell, my copy is her original copy. They do this with any and every book/movie that gets this sort of criticism and like them, I refuse to mouth off about anything I haven't engaged with myself.

If more people actually engaged with stuff before shooting off hot takes, we'd all be better off. But that isn't the world we live in.

They've done a good job then given how Reeeee operates

Twitter is full of people so devoid of real meaningful human connection and/or relationship to reality - that they should be ignored. It's just a cesspit that pretends it's more insightful than other platforms.

I obviously don't have figures in front of me, but I would imagine there are large swathes of people worldwide who are somewhat sympathetic to this attack. Probably in the order of millions. And a lot of them will have meaningful human connections.

Rather than ignore and cast aside, wouldn't properly challenging the sympathetic views from a theological perspective be more effective? Maybe that's already happening.

Like many forms of extremism / fundamentalism, we're deluding ourselves if we think it's a problem consigned to an insignificant minority or a bunch of twitter trolls.

Yeah let's ignore the fact someone from the game's studio just tweeted that it's a fake leak and how Dusk Golem seems to get off on the clout that he claims isn't clout. Protecting their own reputation is more important than admitting a former mod is the problem, or possibly another admin who saw the thread's initial derail and did nothing.

This thread is the spectacular end result of the permissive approach to celebrating the deaths of bad guys:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/police-man-killed-himself-after-ramming-us-capitol-barrier.619542/

Guy runs into a capitol barrier, then shoots himself in the head.

Era immediately assumes a MAGA terrorist threat:

What is goin on with these people?
What was the point?

They’ve been brainwashed by a death cult whose stock and trade is replacing truth and fact with conspiracy and conjecture.

This seems like a self correcting problem.

Someone objects to how fucked up that is:

Folks jumping to the conclusion that this is a rabid Trump supporter and that they deserved to die is some really sick shit, y'all. Fuckin stop it.

Which is outside consensus and therefor wrong:

Yeah, what a sick conclusion to jump to. I mean, it's not like Trump supporters have a history of attacking the Capitol or anything

And that's perfectly valid. My frustration lies entirely with the constant fishing for reasons to be glad a total stranger has died violently. Even if the prevailing guess is correct, this man was nobody to anybody here and scoring social media dunks on him is a horrid look for the community.

Won't someone PLEASE think of the violent, white nationalist cultists??

I was literally writing a cynical post about someone here eventually finger wagging the rest of the forum for this thread but it happened before I even got to post :-/

Folks jumping to the conclusion that this is a rabid Trump supporter and that they deserved to die is some really sick shit, y'all. Fuckin stop it.

Whoa, dude. You didn’t even let me finish my cynical post about someone like you before you showed up

This person took their own life, Gentlemen. No one can say they deserved to die if they hadn’t killed themself. It’s not like they were minding their own business and were unjustly killed by police or something.

You can argue we don’t know yet exactly why this person made this attack and took their own life so pointlessly but come thee fuck on… it only took two days for mainstream right wing media to activate one of their radicalized agents to attack the fbi in Ohio. It’s not a huge leap to assume this is also one of the those militant right wing crazies

I never said to mourn him either. Y'all just looking to win an argument against shadowpuppets at this point.

The guy's name eventually comes out, they say it doesn't look like he was targeting a congressperson. There doesn't appear to be an immediate link to MAGA postings, so RBH jumps to proving he was no angel:

Quite the track record

If he's MAGA in the end they'll double down and gloat over everyone who objected; if he's not there will be zero self reflection and bringing this up in the future will probably lead to warnings/banning. Horeshoe theory up the ass.

Morality aside, this makes Era news threads virtually worthless as half the posts are just people responding to their mental fanfic and attacking anyone criticizing their headcanon.

Why is RBH trying to bring records to a dead man?  Jesus Christ they're so obsessive.

Hey I’m not telling you what to do, but why get mad at others who have sympathy for people who have mental health issues??

They were radicalized by someone no matter what their situation was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also “mental health issues” is just as much of a stretch here as saying they were MAGA, now who’s jumping to conclusions? It’s also not some blanket get out of jail free card.

You called them a nutjob, what else was I supposed to read into that other than that you think they have mental health issues?

Jesus fuuuuucking Christ what sanctimonious bullshit. Bye.

When someone blows their brain out it's pretty fair to assume they have mental issues...

The thread has clearly run its course

Part of me thinks this thread needs to be preserve in order to show and tell others, "Don't be like this"

Part of me thinks you need to STFU and stop backseat modding 

The hell happened to some of you. Fucking gross.

What is this generalization, Sounds like you need to cool off for a day or 3.

I guess leakers are the last thing the forum has that qualifies as industry people because pretty much every developer worth a damn has ditched the forum. Maybe that's why they're so eager to defend him.

"In the name of 'empathy' I'll bandwagon against an autistic leaker who is already harassed daily" is what I'm reading. Honestly the thread title spoils more than the pic does.

Being a leaker and then complaining about harassment is just too funny to me. Like, just stop leaking then? Or suck it up and take the bad clout with the good clout

Odin, being in a game called God of War Ragnarok, is a spoiler now?

Tell me what I'm missing here?

Spoiler discourse these days is basically:

SIGH Thanks for spoiling Bowser shows up in Super Mario Sunshine, guess I won't have to finish it now 

Please don't spoil the Comic-Con trailer for Wakanda Forever for those of us that are on a media black-out

That the only person to call Dusk autistic in that thread somehow avoided punishment.
