Isn't there a fucking thread dedicated to all this shit and dumb dicks arguing forever?

doesnt matter, this thread is the theatre of this forum and every actor wants to get to the big stage

Why put a list this like when voting is still active? I mean, it's cool to know what certain people would pick, sure, but doesn't it kinda undermine the community feeling of the GOTY voting thread? It preempts the results and makes it feel less important during the voting process. That's kinda how I feel about this. I think it would be super cool to have something like this AFTER the results are out though, it just feels like a weird distraction during an ongoing vote.

Tells truth, gets warned for thread whining.

So Lightning is a chick right?

It’s a testament to the ambiguous genders of square’s character designs that I’m not clear on this point.

Well, I mean...he's a former NeoGAFthat other place mod.  He's got to be on like 20 watchlists.

And below that, with no warning:

Good to know which mods/admins to respect and which ones to ignore for their horrible taste in games.

[bork]

Wait...did I miss something?  That thread is specifically about ResetEra staff's picks...not the forum.  So what is Duckroll even talking about? 

And staff picks?  That is pretentious as fuck.

For a bunch of people who laugh at how much of RE's focus is on trans stuff, you all sure like to talk about trans stuff.

Can you just stop, Assimilate? I have nothing against these conversations but it is sure getting stale watching you and Cindi go back and forth, back and forth. Also, these conversations would be a lot easier to ignore if you didn't have a quote chain going back to last fucking week.

Thanks.

The fact that they let that Orb person shit in that brittle women Chappelle thread is crazy. I'm no mod but someone refusing to watch the thing he or she is flooding the thread arguing against seems like something you should do something about.

Bad Taste is his best film.

Wrong on both counts. If we are only to grant him one good film, then it's Braindead/Dead Alive.

King Kong was utter shit.

[LurkinMerkin]

Man, you guys have beyond bad taste. You were supposed to say The Lovely Bones!

[Great Rumbler]

Dead Alive/Braindead is pretty great, though.

What's he going to say? Have you ever played Picross? On 3ds, Nintendo has made a billion Picross games. Jupiter, the company that made Picross S, made 12 Picross games for 3ds, with 8 entries in the Picross E series. This is without mentioning the non-Jupiter Picross developed games such as Picross 3d Round 2. By the end of Switch's life time I expect there to be at least 9 Picross S games. "It's Picross" is the perfect description if you have ever played any Picross game and considering the sheer amount of Picross games available (give us more please).

[tummyfat]

They fired Ryan Gosling off of that movie for Mark Wahlberg. How fucking dumb can you be Peter Jackson

TBH "It's Picross" tells me all I need to know as a Picross fan. Not all Picross games are equal. The fact he lists it in a best of AND says "it's Picross" tells me it's the real fucking deal and not Picross lite as seen in stuff like Pokemon Picross or whatever.

Also you don't know if it's  "the real fucking deal and not Picross lite as seen in stuff like Pokemon Picross or whatever" because you have no idea what he has played and how he views those other games.

All power to them but this is just dumb. 

[clothedmacuser]

No one is stopping them from watching it and enjoying it, but there is clearly a rule on a forum (and perhaps society as a whole) like this that you can't actively defend it. The Dave thread had in big red mod letters do not defend his jokes or you are banned.

Lol, that's not what the mod said. At least be honest.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/2806825/

There is no reasonable defense that can be offered of Dave Chappelle's specific transphobic jokes. Defending his specific transphobic jokes will be treated the same as any other post in defense of transphobia from this point forward. You have been warned.


https://www.resetera.com/posts/2678867/

[clothedmacuser]

I pointed out that red text warning and these were the replies I got.

How can you defend actual transphobic jokes

I guess the question is why would you defend them then?

Is it something you really wanna try to find out

Why would you want to defend transphobia?

And then I was banned a month.

[bork]

To be fair, he didn't specify which year.

That moderator line "There is no reasonable defense that can be offered of Dave Chappelle's specific transphobic jokes" is awful.  Like...be moderators and make sure that the discussion is civil.  Don't outright stop people from talking about a subject because you feel that way.  Fucking thought police over there- was anything like that even ever said on NeoGAF?

I think his point is that the mods posting their own personal GOTY list (which is already pretentious as you remarked) is pretty shitty when the members' vote is still ongoing.

It's a bit like "we're not voting with you peasants, read our picks in a dedicated stickied thread, and before you guys are even done".

They're so far up their own arses I bet they can tell you how their own tonsils taste. It's amazing.

[clothedmacuser]

LOL, a mod tries to justify that red text after the thread was locked.


The advice given in the Chappelle thread was very specifically only about defending the specific jokes which are clearly transphobic, not about defending his jokes. Many people have said they like the specials or thought they were funny. How many were banned? In future if you have questions about moderator actions, please contact a moderator or an admin rather than posting something in a thread. We don't have time to read all the posts and are likely to miss something like this if it isn't brought to our attention.


https://www.resetera.com/posts/2807635/

I didn't even defend the joke and still got a one month ban.

[HaughtyFrank]

That this thread has not even made it past 50 posts says it all. People enjoy complaining so much more than positivity. (Hey, that's why I'm in this very thread)

[Nintex]

Mods don't reply to PM's so that doesn't really work.

With that said, I'm not sure why that poster (or many others) do not understand why identity politics are futile.

The group just keeps getting smaller and smaller. First you identify as a blue collar transgender progressive.
The next day you are a blue collar transgender cis hispanic obese big beautiful vegan progressive
You don't vote because the progressive eats hamburgers also you have only one online friend.

Three dudes walk into a bar in Alabama.
One is a Nazi, the other wants lower taxes and the third is cop.
They all have a beer and vote for the pedophile 

Or you just ask the majority of white/black working straight people who eat at McDonalds who they identify as and sell them a useless piece of clothing to feel connected. 

[I'm a Puppy!]

My recent education about TERFs proves that identity politics is a losing battle.
As you say, the group keeps getting smaller and smaller.
I'm just waiting for gold star gay to go from being a joke to now a completely exclusionary group.

You're misdiagnosing it. There's one transgender administrator who's very sensitive about the issue and completely explodes over anything even vaguely transphobic. Pretty much everyone else doesn't care all that much but nobody wants to be the person who stands up for transphobes (real or merely alleged) so it's not worth a fight. Not to mention administrators are completely separate from moderators and the latter function more as unpaid labor (and never as policy makers).

I don't really care all that much and I don't think resetera is a thought police nightmare enforced by jackboot moderators. I think people are just imperfect and the social pressures just led to these specific, isolated, perverse interactions between site staff and posters.

Hi folks,

This feels like when a guy walks into a bank and announces he's strapped a bomb to himself.

[Himu]

That actually sounds like a troll. On an LGBT Christian discord, we will get raided a lot by conservative Christians who tell us to stop living in sin. They're gate kept and locked out of the servers rooms besides a welcome room and you have to introduce yourself and state why you're there. Any time we get raided it's full of conservatives who say stuff like,"I'm a pansexual polyamarous trans woman and my preferred pronouns are they and I've read the rules, can I come in?" Like, they go completely over the top with it. Not to say that person is doing that, butttttt, it's a possibility.

[Himu]

God damn it please keep trans stuff in Cindi's thread where she can argue with slapdicks for pages and pages and keep this to making fun of RE/GAF places.

Surprisingly, I don't like talking about the trans thing a lot and generally keep it to myself or among other trans people but I feel obligate to address it here because it's such a common topic and I just can't let the tucutes get away with monopolizing the trans narrative. Sorry.
