The Other Forums Thread for 90's Kids ONLY

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

I didn't want to get involved; it's a real mental block going on.

The gay community is a high risk one;  that can be discussed without blaming anyone, in fact you can discuss it and have great empathy for it.   This leap of "if this is brought up you are homophobic" is a really obtuse use of the term homophobic;  it's really STD-phobic, and recognizing that a group has an unfortunately dramatically higher rate of STDs.  For a sex worker that seems like a really logical thing to consider.

"Well I deal with this stigma because I'm bi!"  Yes, but what is the stigma based on?  Literal factual statistics from every health organization across the word?  Oh, ok.  I mean sorry, but this is a very real problem.

Statistics? woah, that's some JonTron level shit

[Himu]

why so serious? it was a joke

This fuckin guy writing thesis statements about his brand of feminism based on Fury Road gifs

It's kind of sad that people there can't talk about anything without pop culture references. like fuck learn how to think for yourself.

It's kinda dorky, but he also wrote this https://www.resetera.com/posts/1817923/

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

no pop culture references. it checks out.

Migrated to reddit for everything that isnt borebro talk long years ago 

Reddit's a better idea than a big catch-all forum like resetera once you get to more than a handful of people. Nobody in individual communities agree on everything. The more you try to force it the more weirdly shapen and bizarre it gets, like GAF's unique cultural authoritarianism. Take etiolate. I like the guy's basketball opinions and in general I think he's a smart, decent, interesting person. But we couldn't be farther apart from each other politically. We can coexist on the Bore, where people get to know each other fairly well and can self police, and we can coexist on a basketball subreddit or something where thousands and thousands of people just talk about basketball. But he'd be either have to completely hide his beliefs to not be banned on Resetera. Evilore actually had the right idea at first when he thought about getting rid of off-topic. Should have just been a pure video game forum again.

Reddit is the ultimate Internet Echo Chamber for people who want their beliefs unchallenged and spend all day agreeing with each other. If you don't get banned by the sub-reddit mods you get downvoted to death and your posting privileges are slowly limited. 

[Momo]

you've never been to reddit have you?

[arrow]

That Ames thread really is a total shitshow, people can't work out which progressive view to virtue signal, so they're tearing themselves apart. It's like watching an unstoppable force hit an immovable wall.
I bet even the mods are conflicted, hence we haven't seen much of the usual thought-shaping going on via bans.

[arrow]

Oh wow, the mods shut the thread down, guess they really couldn't figure out which view to support.

[Jansen]

These days I'd rather play jap games than western ones. You wanna show me a cutscene fine but don't fucking make me walk slow while some asshole talks in my ear or make me watch your dumb fucking set piece that is "interactive".

I hate that shit so much. Or the melee combat where everyone feels like they're moving through water and there are 2 second long windows to "counter". i.e. Batman/Assassin's Creed. Indie gaming is the only western gaming I'll bother with anymore, with very few exceptions (the new DOOM).

i was referring to the western bias posts.

like at the very least pull your head out of Japan's ass for a bit if you think ME:A is gonna win goty awards

We shall see - the gaming press has had their tongue up Bioware's butthole for years. Jade Empire 9.9? Mass Effect 2 and the new Dragon Age winning GOTY awards?

Looks like me:a is set to sweep eh

[Averon]

I mean, as a regressive progressive, who do you side with? The LGBT people who felt hurt by Ames' tweets and refusal to have sex with a bisexual person, or Ames' right as a woman to dictate who she has sex with? Then there's the nasty bit of "progressive allies" going into their usual social media feeding frezy and help push someone to suicide, which is a terrible look.

It is no wonder the thread is a shit show when you have so many progressive interests directly clashing with each other and the type of "social "activism" they love to do got someone to kill themselves.

[stufte]

Oh wow, the mods shut the thread down, guess they really couldn't figure out which view to support.

All it took was someone making a suicide about them and low key threatening suicide themselves to prove a point about....idk, something, probably

Yah that suicidal dude in there trying to derail the thread with outrage over the tiniest shit.

"The internet is toxic dude, staying away from it could be helpful"

"SO I GUESS YOU JUST WANT ME TO DIE, IS THAT IT??"

 

[shosta]

you guys moan about how it's an echo chamber over there and then when they start disagreeing on something you make fun of that too. smh can't be satisfied.


I haven't read the thread at all so I have no idea how a topic with a pretty obvious response got out of hand. She said something shitty but it's sad she died. If it was just some people trying to defend her choice that made the thread get locked then that hardly seems unmanageable.

I'm confused what's the difference between a gay man and someone who was from the same sex as you genetically? Aren't they both just men... why didn't you just say you wouldn't sleep with men?

Look at this sneaky fuck trying to set a ban trap.

Side with the woman. Easy. I don't get it. Lady was a porn actress. Porn carries risk. It's her job to dictate who should be able to fuck and not fucking men she doesn't want to seems fine?

My favorite part of the Ames thread is still Cream trying to turn it into a black vs whites race thing. How the mods at Era can’t see how Cream is such an obvious troll is beyond me. Somebody summon Fiction to this thread so we can get some answers.

[Bananas]

you've never been to reddit have you?

I've been there enough to know that if that comment was on Reddit, it would have been at the bottom of the page with a -40 score. Reddit whole formant encourages mob mentality, forums are the only good place in which you can have actual discussions. If you can't, then it means the moderation is shitty, but at least you can't silence users.

Take that same userbase and set of sub-reddits and convert it into a normal threaded discussion format and you'd have a better place to discuss things.

You'd have an unreadable mess where a hundred people reacting to one asshole can derail a thread for a dozen pages. On Reddit, you collapse that assholes comment with a single click and forget about the ensuing mess forever, while you pursue other threads (or join the cirklejerk below the top comment  ).

[etiolate]

I use chronological view.

The thing being with reddit is it can be heavily socially engineered. Most of /all is a product of bot networks and manipulations. Getting the earliest comment in a new topic will garner a lot of upvotes by default. You can have one account create a topic, then another account to make the first reply (leading conversation a certain way), grab upvotes by default and use bot votes for whatever other purpose you need.

But that's why you don't read /all. You use reddit for the variety of subreddits that are largely self controlled and produce worthwhile information or discussion. 

[nachobro]

I'll use chronological view depending on the topic. If it's about a live event or something, that is very useful. Otherwise not so much.

She didn't say anything shitty.  She's not required to fuck anyone on command.  The end.

I just want to point out that's not entirely accurate. I only had 2 accounts because it took 3 weeks for the confirmation email to show up in my ISP address I used to sign up, and in the mean time I tried a gmail account that was confirmed immediately. I was posting on both, but the alt only for a few threads a few times, and it was NOT in any kind of bad standing until last night when I made Morrigan mad enough to start sending me PMs. Then both accounts were banned.

Now I call noted hate site and doxxxing enterprise, The Bore, my shitposting home for good. The second account I used to post in threads where my posts wouldn't immediately be attacked and reported by the same 3-4 people who obsess over me on private discords and have been trying to get me banned since before RE was even officially up. And it worked, because they had civil conversations with me when they didn't know it was me 

This forum has been alive for like 2 months and he was already doing alt accounts?

How "discussions" work on Reddit

>Woah guys I love Dark Souls 2
+50 Yeah DS2!
+25 DS2 is the best
- 60 I have issue with DS2 battle system and how rolling is tied to a stat.

 Try going to, I don't know, The Doland and make posts in which you are critical of Trump, see how long you last.  People love reddit because they can easily find like-minded people and downvote people they don't like. I.E. the very fucking definition of Echo Chamber.  I don't know how anyone who criticized GAF for being one can stand it.

[paprikastaude]

I have yet to get heavily downvoted for posting something critical that I've also explained. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think I only had one post with heavy minus since I registered a year ago. I find it funny that GAFrera demonizes the site, even though reddits like /Games and even the supposed nazi-cesspool /southpark give some of their biggest downvotes to dumb rednecks. It's a good system that gets rid of trolls and trumpers without feeling like Rera's wannabe nerd-communism.
But ultimately I need forum structures that allow for long-term topics.

I did have a funny reddit happening recently.

Two months ago, when Brandon Ingram was really struggling, someone on /nba made a critical Ingram post. I responded with the question: Tell me the difference between Ingranm's game and Travis Outlaw's game. I got 200 upvotes.

Ingram finally had a good game and scored 30 points. Someone dug up the two month old comment to pop back "OUTLAW NEVER SCORED 30 on the Warriors at age 20!" (Outlaw's career high is actually 36 versus the Warriors of a different era and Travis was 23 I think.)

That's not what made it special. What made that two month old call back special was this Laker fan broadcasting my old joke to his buds and getting 25 upvotes for himself for long dead post.

Subreddits like T_D aren't gonna be anything but circlejerks, that's to be expected. The circlejerk is real in not as focused subs, too, no doubt about it, but in effect I don't see much difference in discussion quality between that and any megathreads on big forums.
You don't get downvoted in forums, everyone just joins in a chorus to tell you how wrong you are or plain ignores you. Provided you even voice your divisive opinion. As you say, people prefer to be around like-minded people, and once a critical mass is reached it's either applause or throwing rotten fruit.
