Duckroll tends to forget that people bought into the ideology wholesale in fascist societies as well.

[Jansen]

Duckroll was an obnoxious cunt on gaf even before he was a mod. It's funny to see him try to act like a decent user.

[benjipwns]

at least he has of yet not turned out to be both a fascist and a pedophile unlike other former GAF moderators

[benjipwns]

does ERA condone throwing urine on fascist pedophiles?

[samfish]

Pedophiles are people too, and trapped within the corrupted US justice system all because privledged adults won’t let them near their privileged children. ERA has a policy of welcoming with open arms any and all underrepresented minorities.

Unless You’re Colin Moriarty. Even if he comes out as a pedophile, he’s still not welcome.

I gotta hear this one. Spill it bro

I don’t think it’s the type of game that’s designed to blow the doors off in sales.

It also only had 2 days of sales in the charts.

It looks like the prior game only sold around 2-2.5 million copies total.

Also, if vgchartz is to be believed (which I find is often "accurate enough" years after the fact to get a ballpark figure and will often be close to more valid sources) the prior game actually did most of its sales in Yurop except on the Xbox One. Like the Xbone version sold 53-47 Global-US. PS4 version apparently sold 70-30 Global-US, with 55% of sales being Yurop and Japan. Their probably garbage PC numbers have the same split. (Though they say only half a million PC copies were sold, Steam has 1.8 million owners of the game. So must be retail only, and definitely not the years of sales, it's been like $5 a bunch recently.)

[ThePhantomBlot]

I also caught this gem by a former neogaf moderator.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-second-letter-to-resettlers-or-but-the-future-refused-to-change.6684/page-2#post-1080682

the gaf groupthink and flavour of the month facist modship contributed to its downfall

Thanks for calling me and my friends fascists, you fucking dimwit

It really needs to stop blowing my mind how tone deaf some (not all) of the ex-GAF mods seem to be in regards to how GAF handled itself these last few years. Interestingly, roboleon was warned for that post.

[Clockwork5]

LOL, still if that offends you as a Trump voter you have fucking problems.  Donald Trump claiming a rally that was literally held by white supremacists had "many fine people" should be what bothers you. 

It's Trumps fault that he is associated with Nazis, it's not JUST because he has neo-nazi supporters;  if you voted for him that should piss you off and you shouldn't be mad at the marketing.

Can you not be bothered by both? Frankly I don't give a shit about US politics. They are all crooks. However, to say someone can't be bothered by both being associated with Nazis as well as disappointed in the person they voted for is literally "us or them" SJ W bullshit to the highest degree.

What I am really trying to say is what YOU are saying. My problem isn’t with a fun megathread of people posting memes and extreme comments like the sky is falling. I’m talking about doing so while preventing the broader problems I discuss. It is perfectly possible and reasonable to have space for both. I think that’s generally what we have right now.

The issue comes from the meltdown (and we’re starting to focus too much on the semantics of what a meltdown is, which wasn’t my intention) determining how other threads will go before they even begin. In the past, for example, we reached a point where we simply could not have a thread about anything related to Mass Effect because multiple arguments that were only tangentially related would overtake whatever the original topic was. An incident resulted in a prolific poster leaving the forum permanently.

We need to be able to contain and isolate our “meltdowns” and let other discussions carry on as normal. As our forum passes 30,000 members and over a million posts, I want to remind the burgeoning community that we all own what we post here and we all own the board. I want us to continue to be careful and conscious and keep the general vibe of the forum as positive and insightful versus negative and vitriolic. I felt the time to bring this up was just after our first big news story that would steer conversations for the foreseeable future.

Does that make more sense?

Somebody better tell Cerium.

[benjipwns]

https://www.resetera.com/posts/1097295/

Maybe we could use a regular forum health check? I don't know what the metrics could be (qty of warning/ban vs nb of posts per period for example) but communicating to all the Reseters how their forum is going is a starting point. After all, it's hard to keep track of all the discussions and potential incidents on all threads. Maybe my memory is failing me but I remember reading a mod post at the beginning telling they were entertaining the thought of a newsletter or something like that.

Oh god, students from my old methods class post on ERA. We're going to have to go over dependent variables yet again aren't we.

They could call out the person that makes himself associated to nazis, specially since is not a celebrity or artist, but a public official.

[etiolate]

All I'm saying is imagine what Reststopera could be if we just made it even more pure.

[railGUN]

Last night I jotted down GAF and Reset post counts.

Tonight I checked them -- in that time, GAF got 1,360 posts. Reset got 33,642.

To keep his word, Malka has 2 weeks to launch the new GAF. With those numbers, why bother?

[mormapope]

It's a game about nazis invading America; a plot that was surely decided upon well before it became an aspect of modern politics.

They then included a few relevant jokes in their ads. 

I think it was a bad idea, but I still think anyone who was annoyed or offended by this is pretty laughable.    But predictable that people would, hence bad idea.

I'm offended by the idea of exploiting our desperate and fucked up political situation to sell a fucking product.

Do you remember 9/11 or bush era shit at all? 



But poking fun at white supremacists, literal facists? Thats tote tote fucked up!

[Clockwork5]

They are all crooks. However, to say someone can't be bothered by both being associated with Nazis as well as disappointed in the person they voted for is literally "us or them" SJ W bullshit to the highest degree.

Huh?

Of course they could be bothered by it; and if they are they should speak out against the person that caused the association.

But, they don't do that in the US.  Instead they play the victim; victim of what exactly?  Having voted for someone they refuse to speak out against and then being associated with that persons politics apparently.

I don't see how this is remotely us vs. them; if I voted for someone and then continued to support them I'd expect people to associate me with that person's politics.

Who are they? How do you know which ones they are? How do you know what they are for or against?

This notion that everyone who voted for Trump is a frenzied fan of his and sticks up for him every time he says something stupid is again, disingenuous. Look at his approval polling ffs.

Just because they related to a stupid slogan and are not pleased that there is an insinuation that supporting that stupid slogan makes them a Nazi, does not mean they support the fucks in Charlottesville.

Again, I don't really care. I just call out "everyone is a Nazi" bullshit when I see it.

[benjipwns]

I thought the WWF went a bit far in their "darker and edgier" direction at the time:

[Assimilate]

Nazi is being thrown around so often it's losing it's power. People should stop comparing and calling everyone a nazi.

[Clockwork5]

Again, I don't really care. I just call out "everyone is a Nazi" bullshit when I see it.

Making fun of Donald Trump's slogan because he failed miserably at distancing himself from literal neo-nazis is not the same as "everyone is a nazi bullshit."

It's pretty easy to distance yourself from it;  "I voted for that guy but that's fucked up."

Which sure, maybe some are thinking and saying.. anectodtally literally never saw anything like that.  He had a 60% approval rating among his voters at the time and for the most part you didn't see or hear a lot from detractrs.  You have his loud mouth base who defends and deflects endlessly and people not really willing to say much at all.  That's my experience at least.

Nazi is being thrown around so often it's losing it's power. People should stop comparing and calling everyone a nazi.

I agree, it's fucking dumb, and you'll never see me participate in that crap.

But you just did.

It's transparent.

You can continue this conversation but I'm done, l honestly don't wish to appear to support that idiot or the fools who voted for him.

[benjipwns]

He quiot iterally called a group of nazis fine people.   He's a fucking moron.

Maybe he was comparing them to nihilists.

AHA, CHECK AND MATE.

Bethesda games apart from Elder scrolls and fallout feel like they kind of AA’ish space in today’s market. Everyone calls Wolf II or EW2 a bomba because it didn’t sell 4 million copies, but I’m guessing they are trying to make games that pay out closer to 1-2 million sales. I’m guessing both of those games will ballpark out somewhere around there by middle of next year.

"Gender neutraling"

 

[benjipwns]

When are any of these guys going to face charges? When will the face of Weinstein's victims be featured on the cover of a major publication? One of the reasons I look at this differently than a lot of people, is that these people are not being treated the way Cosby was, and I believe that is by design.

[benjipwns]

When over 97% of sexual assault cases are true, you don’t say: “Almost always belive the woman,” you say “Belive the woman.”

Wow, that's like prosecutor running for DA level conviction numbers.

Wow, that's like prosecutor running for DA level conviction numbers.

So, 97% of the cases are true, despite their most used argument being "believe women, because there normally isn't any proof to it". Classic bullshit. I can understand saying: don't just say the woman made it up because there's no proof, but don't call the other party guilty without proof either. Both things are asshole things to do without any backing from the legal system to begin with.

For the sake of factuality, here is the Washington Posts fact check on that figure.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2014/12/09/the-truth-about-a-viral-graphic-on-rape-statistics/?utm_term=.c4595e1049a3

Tldr: none of it is accurate. Of those cases which involve an actual police report the falsely accused is closer to 10%. Which is still high enough to lend credence to those women who report their sexual assault to law enforcement imo.

Percentages are a tricky thing though, anyone could be part of the 10% or 90% which is why we rightfully provide the accused with a presumption of innocence.

ResetEra, where the mods are transparent

Yet hang out in private discords with community members who lobby for extended bans and insult members in ways that would get anyone banned on the site itself, and brag about banning in the discord but won't claim it on the actual site.

 

I sometimes think "hey, I want my name in purple too!" and then I look out the window and realize neither it nor a red name mean shit.

Ex-GAF mods are coming off as petty whiny bitches and their butthurt is the sole reason I read anything on the new hugbox while on the can.

Whiny bitches.

[Assimilate]

I'm so confused. Isn't this Lena Dunham chic supposed to be some hugggge feminist bitch? I've never thought she was talented, like most women writers aren't but wow on the "she's trash" posts.

Everyone is gross or trashy to these high and mighty people. How did they ever reach such transcendence?

It’s also interesting how quickly the honeymoon period has ended, and we’re back to posting half-baked twitter hottake threads and single-word “gross” “problematic” responses. Maybe moderation isn’t the problem after all 

Meanwhile gaf looks like an abandoned imageboard. Going to be full or porn referral links soon.

A little bit? People definitely were more prone to defending her when her book came out and right wing media put a hit on her for being a pedo, but now like 50% of resetera appears to be willing to agree with that. I’m guessing her most recent guffaw, about not being seen as a sex object by some specific celebrity, was the breaking point, maybe?

Serious Answer: non-rapists.

I truly believe the vast majority of the women of the MeToo movement are probably being honest. The fact that most all of the men involved are like "Yeah I did it. Sorry." (with the exception of Tyler Malka) should lead you to that conclusion. Meanwhile there are hundreds of millions of women who don't get raped who go to work every day and are happy that they don't have to get raped to keep their job. Perspective, dude.

You must have missed Lena Dunham threads on GAF;  after her book with her little description of fingering her sister came out she became public enemy #1 on GAF especially as she was labeled a dreaded "White Femenist" near that same time.

wait, what the... she fingered her little sister? how did this even, wut?

second, dreaded "white feminist" ??

i can't keep up with this stuff

Yeah, I missed all that too. Honestly though, I tend to nope out when I see her name mentioned.

[VomKriege]

I am howling at former GAF mods being so pissed at being called "fascists" in a blanket manner when late GAF was a competition to see how many people you could qualify by association with the most vehement word possible.

Also were less in an hurry to do so on GAF when people implied the mods were having deplorable have a go at the forum now bishop was gone.

[Assimilate]

She wrote in her book about when she was maybe 7-8 herself touching her little sister's vagina.  It's actually relatively normal shit for little kids who don't know anything about sex;  it didn't go over well on GAF though lol.

Not sure why not 

What's the dreaded "white feminist" bit? Are you saying white women can't be feminists?

II don't remember the details but there were pebbles and inserting them forcibly on her sister which seemed to be less than ordinary.

Okay, that puts it in a bit of perspective.

Also, its official. I now post here more than those other forums. I know I've picked a couple fights here but it's all in good nature and I like this place. Like you riotous, we had a little spat earlier tonight where I maybe hyperbolically accused you of calling everyone Nazis but you are cool and engage me in conversation just a short while later. That kind of behavior is refreshing, you seem chill.

Can I stay and be one of you guys?

 

[VomKriege]

"White feminist" on GAF/Era often is used in a derogatory way. Either as the idea they're "salon activists" or that feminism stops at or is modeled by racial privilege.

[jorma]

Reading that thread it's the same snarky posters with the same tired arguments and from what i can tell - with the same mod backing.

They've been posting for years and have yet to display a single instance of just being fucking chill and smoke a joint or whatever. All that virtue and purity spent on writing slight variations of the same fucking sentence in every single thread, every single day.

Not sure if they are actively seeking out an echo chamber to reside in, or if everyone else just leaves the room when they enter.

Unless You’re Colin Moriarty. Even if he comes out as a pedophile, he’s still not welcome.

I cam never tell if anyone is joking here. But if you aren't there is absolutely nothing privileged about being a victim. And that's all I'll say on the matter.

If you were joking everybody can laugh at me

And now I will probably go back to lurking forever, because while you guys are funny sometimes has no skills and being feeling myself. Y'all are pretty entertaining

[VomKriege]

You're right, I looked for the quote again and she said she spread open her sister's vagina and found the pebbles in there. Somehow I had a much more dark recollection of that bit.
I stand corrected.

I don't know what annoys me more; the faux-outrage Olympics over this chick or her obnoxious writing.  She's a narcisist whose shtick is to talk about how much of a narcisist she is;  couldn't think of anything more daft.

Ok, i get how she's writing this. Resetgaf going all nutso over it is stupid. She's a bad writer, i'm not a fan, but i get.

What's shocking to me is how corporations, the media, and various other outlets are still caring about twitter/online outrage. Hasn't the cat gotten out of the bag yet? These people are mainly fucking losers that wan't nothing else but to feel important, like they're making a difference with their rage.

They're the same people that used to pick up tabloid magazines while waiting in line at the grocery store to read juicy gossip about a movie star or politicians misdeeds so they can feel better about their miserable meaningless lives.

I mean I don't think the "corporations and media" have a lot of say in it. This is the world we live in, it's just gotten a lot faster and hasty.
