SHOCKER

Jack Remington is defending Hillary in that thread

Eh, the people getting upset at the New York Times for daring to print the story are even funnier. Look at Chumley here.

NYT both sides bullshit.

I don't understand this

It's a real story that should be reported, is it not?

It’s ammunition for people to justify everything Trump is doing.

But it's a real story.

Should they not publish it because right wingers are going to put it in their news?

There’s a lot of “real stories” that go untold. Every story that has ever been published is published for a reason. The reason behind this one is abundantly obvious to everyone, especially with this timing.

So they were just sitting on this story for years and decided to wait for the right time to publish it?

I don’t know, I just know they obviously timed it and this goes hand in hand with their other attempts to both sides the Trump admin.

Considering there's no evidence that they sat on the story/incorrectly published the article, we shouldn't shift focus from the sexual harassment that took place/lack of an appropriate response.

It's one thing if the story is fabricated or inaccurately reported, but if it's legitimate, it's toxic to treat it as a political chess piece.

It can be true and a political chess piece at the same time.

Nobody should excuse it. But that doesn't change the chronology of this story and its intent. Every single major company and institution in 2008 was likely guilty of this and worse. They shouldn't be excused either.

But Hillary ain't even running for shit. The story exists to promote a narrative of fairness that is now warped beyond all recognition.

 

Jesus fucking christ.

Seriously. The lack of bans and warnings in that thread is vomitously hypocritical as they banned people who even looked sideways at accusers in other threads. Remember, “Believe Women, Always!”

And that’s ignoring the new love they’re showing to their much maligned whataboutisms. (Amusingly, my iPad tried to autocorrect whataboutism to What About ISIS.)

This is why Halo is so shit now.

Halo is shit because Stinkles wastes more time shit posting on reeeeeee and formerly NeoGaf than leading his team in crafting the finest FPS console experience. We'd have decent Halo games if only Benji had doxed that dude.

[etiolate]

Wow. Can't believe more of this double standards for Hilary nonsense. Dirty right-wingers and women haters attack her for flipping her position on gay marriage or the TPP. They say you can't trust her.

Yet here is the cause that she's truly been consistent on: covering for abusers in her life. She has always been there to shut up accusers. I mean, what do you want? Consistency or just to hear nice things? Government is tough. She's a tough and beautiful lady.

And I have absolutely no alts.

[jorma]

Come on brehs, how can you expect Hillary to get rid of her favorite faith adviser in the middle of a campaign? The only way that would make sense is if he had harassed her chief tarot card reader instead of some random aide.

[Nintex]

No warnings, no bans no anything yet.

Lol at people acting like this is all above board because it was 2008 and they moved her to another office. Would still vote for her over Cheeto without hesitation but come on.

Why isn't this garbage tier poster banned yet?

[shosta]

Size matters.

Hillary should've fired this asshole immediately, full stop. She should be questioned for how she handled the issue. Fine.

But the journalists and #bothsides cable networks will magnify this story to extreme proportions, questioning Hillary's judgment and character. Meanwhile, Trump brags about groping, cheats with porn stars, and, oh year, has run a bigoted administration intent on victimizing minorities and weakening our institutions. His weekly, daily, hourly slights toward common decency outweigh anything Hillary has done.

And you'll say, "Why can't we cover both?" We can, but size matters. Numerous parties will try to make this the story of the week even though we just learned the president tried to fire the man investigating him. You'd be naive to think otherwise.

Again, I want Hillary to face scrutiny, but you'd be naive not to think that this story won't be used in some way to excuse Trump.

I’d think that an unfair swipe, but the mods have turned into statues over that thread. And instead of banning or warning right now, they’ve locked the thread.

Now, sure, they may come back and cull the herd, but the slow response with the oven mitt approach so far, makes in not an unreasonable jab.

User has been permanently banned for trolling.

[joeboy101]

And the thread is open again.

Please refrain from namecalling and try to be more civilized about this from now on.

This is an important and understandably controversial news topic which is why we expect members to not just automatically dismiss it because of partisanship. Posts mocking the entire article with "will she get impeached?" are not really constructive and do
not really add a lot to the topic at hand which is about Mr. Strider, his actions and Clinton's reaction to them.

If this thread derails too much into a Hillary VS Trump thread (or Dems VS Reps) and completely loses focus, we are forced to close it down since in our experience nothing good comes from those kind of threads. Thanks for your understanding!

See you can avoid bans and warnings when talking down reporters and accusers, you just need enough people to make bans problematic.

Why would they ever let Kirblar be a mod. Out of all the terrible mod decisions, that one sticks out really hard to me since he was a pretty low tier and not even notable poster on GAF.

Judging from my #StillWithHer friends on FB, the standard response seems to be some combination of whataboutism, "she's not president so why does it matter?," or "standards were different in 2008." I'm not optimistic anything will get through.

No politician is worthy of worship or blind adoration. Ever.

Why would they ever let Kirblar be a mod. Out of all the terrible mod decisions, that one sticks out really hard to me since he was a pretty low tier and not even notable poster on GAF.

A guy I know who stuck around in the staff Discords after they forgot to remove him told me this. A little while ago the carefully curated mod team of ResetEra figured out that policing a bunch of crybabies is actually a lot of work and complained about how much work it was on Discord. Some felt like quitting the thing all together and some mods aren't even active anymore, just mods in name only. To fix this they added more mods but not really the best people just the ones willing to spend time to police the board as no sane person would. Some of the mods also don't dare to question the judgment of their 'minority' co-workers because they fear the backlash and dog-piling.

Which is also why they lock threads so quickly because some don't want to waste too much time modding the damn thing and why mods with the most time on their hands can basically enjoy their power trip without being second guessed by fellow mods.
Their dream has ended anyway. They thought that on ResetEra the industry insiders that once roamed GAF would return. But the old posters have since already left. Basically joined to say hi and watched the Marxist/transgender/Nintendo orgy and ran for the hills.

If they manage to chase away the sales agers (of which the signs all already there) they've basically cast out all their most valuable members faster than the elf ever did. All they have left is the sales people, Nintendo hype threads and the drunk/intoxicated posts of  HALO man.

Once the Han Solo movie comes out he won’t be able to resist. It will probably be awful so bob and cheebo will really have their work cut out for them running Star Wars defense 24/7. Kiddos these days just don’t understand the nuance of cinematic masterpieces.

That was never going to be the case. From my first interaction with Sweet Nicole, to all the nutso shit and people involved in the discord crisis stuff, to them trying to co-opt me into their site, nah. ResetEra was literal garbage before it was even set up. That was super apparent to anybody who was active on any GAF adjacent discords when all of this went down.

I'm actually surprised it's going as well as it is. The people who started this have no idea how to respect and interact with an actual community of real people.

Han Solo has only two lines in this movie and lost his voice. THAT IS NOT A DUMB PLOT that is really great writing. It really makes sense.
You are simply racist and probably hate the fact that Han Solo is no longer a cis gender male but a bi-po-ta derpado trans illusive wozanozzle.

The love scene between Chewbacca and Yoda really was the missing piece in Star Wars lore. If you don't see the brilliant cinematography on display you are indigenous.
