We have our trap thread for the day. Lets see who's gong to take the bait and get 'warned'

Just to make sure people are reading the article, here's the exchange:

“I’m a woman, right,” said Willoughby. “Forget about any ‘t’s, or anything in front of it. So, on that score, you would date me, wouldn’t you?”

“Not if you told me you was trans,” Ginuwine admitted.

So yes she sexually harrassed him and that's way worse, but pertaining to the content of the discussion so far, it does seem like he wasn't attracted to her because he knew she was trans. And while I agree that this is his right as a person with control over his own body, it's along the same lines as someone who doesn't want to date a black person because they are black. If you and to what degree you find fault with that (or not) you should find fault with this.

What a disgusting person. She'd fit right in at Era.

[Uncle]

I will say almost that whole first page seemed uncharacteristically sane.

Prob why it was locked.  Paints a trans person in a negative light and would've generated a ton of valid bans based on their past judgments.  Whole first page are candidates.

[Himu]

There is a massive issue with this line of argumentation. It's really problematic to shame people for their sexuality.

Saying you're not attracted to trans people in itself isn't a transphobic statement. I'm barely attracted to white dudes. I simply do not find them attractive. I wouldn't call someone inherently racist for thinking black women aren't attractive either. What matters in these cases is the context of the statement being made. "I don't find trans people attractive". Okay, fine. That's much different from,"Trans people are disgusting and I don't find them attractive."

Ginuwine seems to have acted like a gentleman about all this. She definitely sexually harassed him.

I had a Era bannable post ready to go but they locked it before I could post it. Something about how I can absolutely choose not to date a trans person because they're trans. Deal with it, etc.

Problematic because it becomes misogynistic in that gay guy sorta way where they describe vaginas as ugly sorts of things, or where they start to refer straight couples as "breeders". Even fun, campy gay phrases like "fishy" are fucked up when you think about it because they are based around the idea that vaginas are fishy, stinky orifices. You can find something unattractive and not be nasty about it. I see it no different than calling gays fudge packers.

[Billy Big Bollocks]

I actually wouldn't mind if there was more proactive locking like that, but more even handed though obv.  The size of GAF and era was not always conducive to good browsing of threads, with hundreds of people posting the exact same thing page after page.

But it's blatantly been locked that early because a transwoman said something not great, as opposed to someone who it has been deemed acceptable to show disdain for.

[Himu]

Stuffte are you really asking if it's okay to call specific kinds of people disgusting if you don't find them attractive just because you're not attracted to them? What if I called white men disgusting because I'm not attracted to them? Would that be okay? (That's not why I'm not attracted to white men, just giving an example).

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.

"The tech industry. Gross.  "

"I actually work in the industry and it's not that bad in my experience.  "

[HaughtyFrank]

I like how people are allowed to preemptively judge anyone because hey, this isn't a court room we don't have any actual power etc. but then anyone who dismisses the allegation is instantly the reason why victims don't speak up.
So does the public opinion have power or not? Pick one

[tummyfat]

I love that the Michael Douglas thread is acting flabbergasted over people suggesting evidence is needed and saying it doesn't matter because Resetera is just a powerless internet forum when the first post in the thread is literally calling for the formation of a lynch mob

Lynch Him

 

Reading the posts in this thread I do wonder if at any time in their lives this argument will click:

Well the difference is I could say you sexually harassed me, and your career would be destroyed based on one persons words.

I'm not saying ignore them, but believing everyone at face value has it's issues too.

And bobby's post:

Educate me on how the off-topic side of a gaming forum is practically indistinguishable from a court of law.

A mere accusation will destroy your life in a multitude of ways, but heh, it's not a court of law, so nothing to worry about. The thing is though, this isn't entirely true either. Creating a culture where the accuser must always be unquestionably believed could affect the accused right to a fair trial. You are colouring the accused with guilt before the case has even started. You simply cannot guarantee it would not leak into proceedings especially in high profile cases.

If we were to talk about the lynching of black people accused of raping white women in the South, lets say in the 1930s, they would get it. Of course the black person is guilty. Of course the white woman is telling the truth.

[Himu]

Stuffte are you really asking if it's okay to call specific kinds of people disgusting if you don't find them attractive just because you're not attracted to them? What if I called white men disgusting because I'm not attracted to them? Would that be okay? (That's not why I'm not attracted to white men, just giving an example).

I could have sworn on GAF you made a thread about cutting all white people out of your life, but then made a post in a dating thread about only dating white men.

I definitely cut white people out of my life. That was a mistake propelled by hatred and bigotry. I never said I only dated white men, though. You must have gotten me mixed with someone else. I don't find white men attractive at all, and even had an argument in BCT about this because they're attracted to every race under the sun while I'm mostly about niccas.

[Himu]

I know for a fact I would never say I only date white men and anyone who remotely knows my taste in men knows you're saying straight up ducktales rn.
