I have no idea why anyone ever does dishes.  When I started living on my own I bought a huge pack of paper plates and plastic forks and years later I haven't used them all up.

I am not joking in the least.  It's awesome.  And honestly super cheap, like I said I haven't used up what I bought in bulk.  I get plastic cups too, sometimes rinse them out and reuse them once or twice.

I'm sure it's bad for the environment, oh well.

[Assimilate]

I like the argument that women left programming in the 80s because of men, because it suggests that women are too sexist to stand working around men. The truth is likely an economical one. Improved choices in work that have an opportunity to succeed for women will naturally draw women out of the few spaces they had for success before. As well, the health sector booming created a lot of well paying employment for women. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case in India as well, unless you think that somehow India is a more socially forward thinking and female empowering country.

How dare you make sense. Remember you're supposed to be a 'vile' member of the bore   

Women didn't leave the field in the 80s. Before the PC revolution and video games, programming was considered largely clerical work. After the first apple personal computer comes out, and video games become a huge market, the marketing for computing devices is mostly biased toward and appeals to boys and young men. So during this explosion of computing men saturated the demographics of new people interested in the field.

Ha, ok. How many years do we wait to see females seriously start populating this field? (Asian women don't count)

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

The genius plan of telling women they'll get raped by neckbeards if they come within 100 feet of a game or stem subject or guy who plays games isnt working? 

The problem is clearly women making their own decisions, women as a class need to stop doing things they personally want to do and find personally, emotionally or creatively rewarding. If they'd just stop making their own decisions women would be free, we need to force them to be free.

[etiolate]

Asians don't count as minorities because they're either too successful or too white skinned.

User warned: arguing in bad faith to belittle sexual harassment victims, making unsubstantiated generalizations about "the left"

The poster tried to actually respond based on the content of the articlle vs. posting an idiotic hot take based on having read only the subject line.

I am curious to know how many times 'arguing in bad faith' has been used on RE since its inception.

I'm curious why you want to know this, I can't imagine that your motives are purely altruistic and for informational purposes only.

It's because they're setup as an LLC so there can't be a single person who holds all the cards and can ruin the whole thing like with NeoGAF.com LLC. Also, they're innovating the way moderation is done:

Many of the people we spoke to described ResetEra as an opportunity to redefine what moderation culture looks like from the ground up.

...

“We see this as a fresh start and an opportunity to build our own moderation culture and aren't really looking for comparisons,” Shinobi602 said. “We hope to be genuinely fair minded, reasonable and transparent. We really want to shape a positive community for everyone. A few moderators may be familiar but for the most part the staff has no connection with other forum staff.”

We'll definitely push for more warnings and leniency first and foremost. People need to have a chance to understand mistakes before slamming down an auto-banhammer. Common sense should really prevail first and foremost. If someone doesn't get the message once or twice well..

Regigigas arguments and attacks

[benjipwns]

But early members noted that as of the time of this writing, the forum is gearing up to go live between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET — around the time of Nintendo’s latest Direct. The near-simultaneous occurrence of these events isn’t lost on the community, which told Polygon that the coincidence was almost poetic in nature. After suffering through the loss of a home, lost NeoGAF members getting a new Animal Crossing game to animatedly discuss with friends on a website built in the original forum’s image seemed just right.

[benjipwns]

What's this schreier thing you guys have going on?

what do you mean "you guys"?

i think it's funny that a yet to be launched forum who has two levels of lockdown in their discord and a standing order not to engage with the outside world and has pushed off their launch every time they find out there's a GAMERGATER HIDING AMONGST THEM is talking about how "someone can write about what's going on properly" when they already successfully roped Polygon into giving them an extended sympathetic piece with absolutely zero skepticism to the story they were being fed that not only inflated the status of their admins but even signed off with a cheery note about it's poetic launch date with the only part that even hesitated was speculation that gamergate is going to attack (BUT THEY'RE READY FOR EM)

now they've let yet another reporter within their walls to help get the "real story" out

for an internet forum, a video game forum that's a spin-off of the off-topic section of another video game forum

that isn't up because...? when anyone can put a forum up in under an hour

https://forums.opencritic.com/ which "backed off in favor of ResetEra" has a thousand posts in its gaming section already, part of SteamGAF moved over there, Durante is posting in it, etc.

while we supposedly have the very content creators that invented NeoGAF all sitting on their hands for a site the Kotaku article that comes out later probably will have a line like "launch later this week" or something in it among all the cultist gibberish like the polygon piece

it's almost a foolproof plan, except for the part where they have to put up the forum eventually and face the torrential pain of reality

biggest L i've taken on the bore for sure (until Trump and his whole family gets perp-walked to Guantanamo Bay)

[Leadbelly]

I cook whole pigs on a spike with an apple in its mouth. No need for pots or pans. I also just rip off a leg and eat with my hands.

Can Indiana Jones style adventures be anything other than imperialistic white male power fantasies?

#1
So, I'm finally trying to play Uncharted 3 for the first time (hated the first, liked the second, third is kind of meh so far), and something I've noticed in these games is how much it bothers me that Drake is going around killing people and blowing up historical landmarks. I mean, in two back-to-back missions in Uncharted 3, a historic Chateau in France gets burned to the ground, and an ancient Syrian citadel gets blown up with rocket launchers (which you can't completely blame on the bad guys since Sully was throwing those rockets around like they were candy). Do you know what that reminds me of? ISIS blowing up that 842-year-old mosque last year. I had some strong feelings when that happened, and that may be why I'm reacting so strongly about it in this game.

Anyway, before I rant anymore about Uncharted, the main point of this thread is that I actually really, really like Indiana Jones style adventures. I've probably rewatched Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade dozens of times. The things is, Indiana Jones does many of the same things. Not quite so blatant maybe, after all, he's fighting Nazis and they're mostly to blame, but at the heart of it he's a white guy who's going to other countries and taking various cultures' important historical artifacts. It got me thinking, is it even possible to have a story like this, specifically a globetrotting, historical treasure hunting adventure, that isn't just a imperialistic white male power fantasy that shits all over other cultures?

The comment section is even fucking better

 

By "digging up and preserving" you mean "stealing and taking back their home countries and FUCK what the locals think about it" right?

Edit: and yeah, OP, you could've had a great topic here but you ruined it with your bullshit ISIS connection.

[benjipwns]

the OP is interesting in how it portrays the Indiana Jones films...xhe leaves out Temple, where iirc he's actually asked by the locals to recover the macguffin for them isn't he?

of the two films xhe does include, it ignores that that SHIT WAS TOTALLY FUCKING MAGIC AND EVERYTHING BRO and both wound up reburied rather than in anyone's hands to be used, which is kinda the whole fucking point of the endings

they're probably better used as supporting versions closer to what xhe'd want to see, the alt-right gamergaters don't get the magic objects to become invincible and neither does Moderate Darling™ Indy nor his cac backers profit extra from acquiring them (the locals didn't have access to them in the first place i don't think)

How do you write so much, Benji

[Averon]

Arguing in "bad faith" is so nebulous that a mod can hit you with it at any point for seemingly any reason. It is design to shut down posters mods do not like.

How can the Reset owners not see this will just encourage mods to do their own things and warn and ban people for hazy reasons? This is the kind of stuff they supposedly wanted to avoid when they moved to Reset.

This user is banned for this post (3 days): Sexism argumentation.

I'm not the one saying it. I'm just saying that we shouldn't be selective in which women we listen to. Amy Henning, for example, said the game industry was a wonderful place of opportunity where she never experienced harassment or discrimination. She said "I may just be oblivious, and if so that tactic has worked for me" and that the internet was making the industry seem like a more sexist place than it was. It is the internet rhetoric which was keeping young women out of gaming, not the industry itself. I've seen Henning crucified for saying that, but you know, what if she has a point?

When I worked at Treyarch in the early 00's, they employed a handful of women that were all in positions of power. Project lead, lead artist, head of HR, technology lead. They would all have lunch together (which my wife was invited to a few times) and talk about women in the game industry. They complained mostly about a lack of women and not having more women to talk to, and not about harassment or discrimination. But this was about 15 years ago. The dialogue around women in the game industry was very different back then.

I don't think the industry suddenly became more sexist. I really don't. I just think that there has been a shift in the political landscape over the past decade, where before people would look at the lack of women in the game industry and arrive at one conclusion, while now they look at the exact same lack of women in the game industry and arrive at a different one. The problem hasn't changed, just the explanation of it - and the current explanation has a zero percent chance of actually solving the problem. If anything, the prevalence of sexism claims is leading to less women in the industry and fewer women in computer science.

Amazing.

Imagine having to click "I understand" for that ban.
