Her death doesn't remove the message she pushed that so many of you are defending over and over again. Once again, you don't acknowledge what was actually said and try to push my comments into some disrespectful territory because she's dead. Just go to sleep because you have nothing of value to say.

Pal, I've been in this thread for hours. So many of you have tried to put these words in my mouth when my initial post talked about how mental health needs to be destigmatized and how her death is tragic. If you believe that online harrassment is wrong then don't do it here by berating a stranger and claiming they said something that you know damn well that they didn't

Ohhhhhh my god. Where? Show me where I said that. I've played this run around 10 times in this thread. Y'all run to this when you have nothing else to say.

This will be my last post in this thread. I said in my first post that her death is a horrible tragedy but her comments were definitely homophobic. Since then, for hours, I've been quoted and accused of saying her death was justified, people calling me "soft", saying that I should feel guilty and responsible for her death etc.

If y'all truly believe that the dog piling that happened to her was wrong over comments you say were blown out of proportion, then don't do it to me. I've been defending myself against atleast 5 people saying awful things related to things I never said about August for like 7 hours. I'm done checking my notifications. Don't just talk about how sad and awful it is once someone's actually dead. Apply that to now and knock it off. I didn't say a damn disrespectful thing about the poor girl.

shame you can't see reply counts on ResetEra like on that site that nobody's ever heard of

Oh, I remember him.

I don't even know what "The Bore" is, so if that's the case there, I wouldn't even know lol. My idea came about more like Kinda Funny does it but with a spin of how We Love Fine works. Meaning, we could create our own merch and set of voted slogans that would be randomized from time to time. Basically keeping it fresh and not letting one word or one idea define us, but a collective. Basically, a collective brand. I'm not an advertising or brand guy by any means, I come from a law background, but I just thought it'd be a cool idea. Basically, constantly redefining and reinventing ourselves, keeping us in check and stuff. If that's a new "thing" or was done before I wouldn't know, and I'm not sure why we couldn't do it better than anyone else because I mean, we would, haha.

[benjipwns]

law background huh, haha, i mean lol basically not a brand guy

[shosta]

Why doesn't The Bore have merch? Surely there were Evilbore sippy cups or something, right?

and again his post is hooked around a pop culture reference.

[Bore Expert]

When will the president be addressing this tragedy?

[HardcoreRetro]

What the hell is Kinda Funny? We Love Fine?

I'm guessing We Love Fine is dracula and his family tasting wine.

[benjipwns]

Kinda Funny is the hate site that spawned Colin Moriarty, the Russian founder of Gamergate.

[HardcoreRetro]

I thought gamergate was made by five guys. Must be a pretty big gate.

It's barely been a few weeks don't write resetera off already

I don't think anybody's writing resetera off. Just the people who moderate it. And the people who post on it.

Oh, and the admins too.

The only men who say this garbage and act clueless are the ones who would possibly commit sexual harassment. Or already have and now feel guilty for contributing to the culture.

He’s probably resigned himself to the fact that he’ll be fucking his fist for the rest of his life. That’s what a good male feminist would do anyway. The only way to truly respect females is to not interact with them.

[kingv]

August Ames had a valid concern. Homosexual men are something like 20X more likely to be AIDSy then straights. Official stats are that about 2/3 of new cases every year, and they are like 1-3% of the population.

You can still play tennis with a homosexual though.

[FStop7]

It’s more about the gay porn industry having what she believed to be a lax testing protocol and that a lot of performers were engaging in high risk behavior outside of work.

The rage directed at her was about entitlement and fragile egos.

[SmokyDave]

The August Ames story is some messy, heartbreaking shit. I was just listening to her on a podcast (it’s OK, I’m safe), and she sounded like a genuinely nice girl that had dragged herself through some ugly shit. To have such a young life snuffed by a combination of depression and Twitter is so futile and pointless.

I hope it helps people continue to realise just how dangerous and damaging the internet is to interpersonal relationships. We need to figure this shit out quickly because it’s already way out of hand.

[Billy Big Bollocks]

this hugging debacle is the first thing that has made me take pause at Reset. I know it shouldn't be a surprise what with the userbase being largely the same as gaf, but metoo has made some go off the deep end. I ain't going to get too much into it cos my username is the same as on there but the absolute state of some of the people involved and the utter sanctimony 

there's more people than not who can in there recognise how extreme some of that stuff is but it's still an eye opener

Honestly, Twitter is the proto-GAF.

Every asshole on there bullies anyone who they disagree with. It's even worse when they're given blue checkmarks because they think it somehow validates their opinions.

It's insane how many people spend all day tweeting politicians and celebrities - even comedians who I thought were funny in their TV work are just spouting off inane bullshit all day. I'm a very liberal guy but I think Trump winning made liberals unfunny, prudish and annoying somehow.

[paprikastaude]

A female acquaintance of mine made fun of me the whole day recently when I was still in formal work-mode and shook her hand instead of hugging her for a greeting. We truly are unrestrained monsters in EU land.

It’s a fairly mild post and I had already supported August earlier in the thread. Feel like people were saying much worse stuff than me but oh well.

[Uncle]

Why is it that every other porn video lately is step sister/daughter fucking and sometimes without the step? Shit is incredibly popular right now. Mupepe must be having a ball.

I think because it saves them from setting up a story and plot.  "How do we get two teens alone together?  Eh, just say say they are new step-siblings." 

It's lazy writing and directing like that which makes me despondent of the future of my 'baten material.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of a growing fear in seeking any intimacy with a stranger (because y'know, that's sexual harassment) and sticking with what you know, so to speak.

[Kurt Russell]

Yeah, Dave. Stop undressing me with your eyes. You're damaging my interpersonal relationships.

your body, your choice, except when that choice doesn't align with the LGBTQ groups and they send written forms of requesting your suicide. cindy is so right about the infection that these groups suffer.

[HardcoreRetro]

Gender neutral won some contest over here. Most annoying word of the year.

[stufte]

That porn star suicide thread is something else. Holy Shit there are some vile people on that site.

Eb64 needs to stop trying to Roy Moore on em.

If you’re name is Earthbound 64, you gotta be like... 35-40? I don’t really have a problem with him getting excited about someone 25 years younger for a potential partner, but to cry about it when it doesn’t work out?

It’s one of the most pathetic things I’ve seen on GAF era

Which is a pretty succinct summary of why the people saying Ames was a bigot are fucking assholes.
