Why is the boy riding a bike, and the girl playing with dolls? I find the gender roles in this video so troubling it invalidates the message.

This is almost as bad as that thread where Amir0x admitted to driving while intoxicated.

what did the bire mods know then that they were keeping from us

[benjipwns]

i'm starting to think i'm going to have to make a chart like this for the bire mods conspiracy:

[BisMarckie]

Why is Aleksandr Dugin the biggest name on that chart?

He writes Nintex-tier political fanfics. 

[benjipwns]

They shrunk him on the latest revision of the chart: https://www.docdroid.net/zJankJ3/red-brown-map.pdf

But the NAZI PUG is still on there. Key evidence against dogs on the internet imo.

I am an amateur anthropologist, sociologist, and follower of American culture from those perspectives. I am also American, but not all Americans really study their own culture in a serious manner.

Gamergate was a remarkable cultural event within geek culture that has no obvious parallels in both scope and sophistication. I don't mean the personal shit that was the origin, but the strange leviathan that gamergate became with the false messaging and cult-like activities and the strange bot-like identities on twitter. Take any cultural difference of opinion, gamergate was another level. It felt like there was a lot of effort working behind the scenes to push it beyond your normal cultural disagreement.

At the time, I ran an experiment on twitter. I have a basically non-existent presence there. I posted about the hashtag criticizing the movement and instantly, systematically, constantly I was attacked. It was a swarm with a kind of intelligence. I had never seen anything like it.....until the 2016 American Presidential election.

The level of effort and sophistication are similar. Gamergate occurred in 2014. Gamergate could have been an early effort to influence American culture. I have to assume these folks play games, take part in the culture - hell I am sure some of them are members on this forum. Either it was a test run, or something they did in their off-time, for fun.

They are just too similar to me to not be related in some way.

This is already known. Russia actively pushed Gamergate nonsense.

[benjipwns]

but seriously, i clicked on her post history and saw how she reasoned with "low post trolls" which was funny and then i thought it was weird she posted so much in the Real Pic thread without posting a picture, but she did post a picture of her wedding, i didn't know she was a texting while driving advocate who once was also the loon who ruined the funny picture thread

now i got a transhuman and transphobe getting on my case, this is why minorities and women are leaving in caravans to join GamerGate

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-gave-up-on-finding-a-partner.93961/

I gave up on companionship along time ago. i have too many severe body image issues (and not in a way that can be solved by going to the gym, so please dont hit me with that cliche) to be able to enjoy any sort of intimacy, and I have too much shame and internalized homophobia to be comfortable being in a public relationship with another man, so there's next to no point in dating.

I won't pretend it doesn't get lonely OP, but it does get easier the longer time goes on, so hang in there. Fantasy and Escapism helps quite a bit, and its definitely possible to eke out a life worth living even if you are alone, you just need to find some healthy coping mechanisms for when things get dark.

I used to think I'd never find anyone, then I tried online dating and know it for a fact.

Some of us just aren't made for dating and relationships. Work on yourself, and live for yourself.

Your not alone, I gave up in middle school. I remember I had a friend that was all depressed in middle school because he never had a girl friend and yet here I am at 26 with no relationship ever with a girl. He fell into peer pressure I guess.

I feel you OP. I've got no confidence, I'm not interesting and have a hard time holding a conversation with women... which makes getting dates/dating difficult.


Keep your head up, do the only thing you can do... self-improvement... and learning from your mistakes. Hope things turn around for you OP.

Me too, OP. I’m 40. I’ve dated enough though. I just think some people are better off single.

That's where i'm at right now too


I'm 30, i gave up searching or making effort to find someone! I'm still open to it of course, and if by chance (not likely to happen) i meet someone i like, i will try something, but i don't actively search anymore! I will probably be alone and i'm fine with it


Sure it's still frustrating at time, especially when at every family gathering or with friends i'm always the one alone, but it's not that big of a deal in the end, i made peace with it

I've given up without really trying at all, so kudos for doing that at least. I deeply envy your drunkenness though.

Welcome to the club!

"I've given up without really trying at all" seems like it would make for a good RE slogan.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

But seriously, its 2019, why the fuck are people on Era still so obsessed with fucking gamergate?

Hypothesis: Because it was the last time any of these people felt connected to something, and they would really like a common enemy to unite them again under the flag of Casus Belli because all the little cliques and single-issue-concerns posters are just slowly destroying their own 'community' with their witchhunts and purity tests, and they're getting to the point where they can't even pretend to have the moral high ground to act like such vindictive, petty, misanthropic little shits to each other, and have made themselves as uninviting to any new sign ups as possible, and would really really really like some gaming press to fellate them as a forum for Cool People On the Right Side Of History.

I say this as an amateur Raconteur, Onanist, and follower of Forum culture from those perspectives. I am also a shitposter, but not all shitposters really study their own culture in a serious manner.

But seriously, its 2019, why the fuck are people on Era still so obsessed with fucking gamergate?

These people have no friends, no romantic/sexual relationships, and are estranged from their families (even though many times, they are still living with them).  Totally alone.  Even on social media, they have next to no connections or interactions (having 100K tweets but 100 followers).  They lack basic life skills ("how do I wipe my ass") and are either unemployed or in a McJob. Many have mental illness (whether real or self-diagnosed) and are in poor physical shape due to lack of activity and the diet of a 5 year old.  They need some sort of boogeyman to use as the scapegoat for their shitty lives even though the vast majority of the blame rests solely at their feet.

User Banned (Permanent): Downplaying the impact of a hate movement. History of severe infractions.

This forum is so laughable in the myriad of ways it'll go to try and pin all of society's evils on what was largely an irrelevant and short-lived moment that was almost five years ago. Seriously, get over it. There are real problems out there that need to be addressed that have nothing to do with the GamerGate boogeyman.

Not even with the "duration pending" misdirect, straight to the perm of 'downplaying' the 'impact' of a 'hate movement'.

edit:
that history of severe infractions tho

We won't know the true fallout from Gamergate for decades.

 

[Propagandhim]

They should more accurately word it "please don't dismiss the impact Ronda Rousey's facial features in MK11 has" because, well, that's exactly the premise for the thread.

Ronda Rousey is a genuinely terrible person with terrible views, but people ate her shit up, even at GAF/ResetERA. Someone would go "those comments are pretty shitty" or "wow she seems to lack basic fundamentals so I doubt she'd be able to take on a Mayweather”, but those concerns would be dogpiled and people would champion her. It wasn't until she spectacularly lost to Nunes that people started paying attention and dropped her as a feminist icon, ironically a rather shitty reason that also lead to the decline of popular interest in female MMA.

Corporations also only ever push on celebrities for money, attention, and personality. They could give a shit about propagating her views, it's merely a cynical decision with very little actual desire to have said person in. Same thing goes for Pepsi, Gillette, and all the other "brave" companies who try doing this shit. But of course, cynical takes are often shat on, so the reality is that ERA remains a slightly tinged version of whatever crowd WB goes for. They largely will buy into the same cynical bullshit whether it be from MCU, Star Wars, Ghostbusters etc. to the point where they're so bought that even calling a movie shit or accusing a corporation is "suspect".

The highly sexist industry that is convenience razor blades w/ handles makes a woke AD despite, and despite being developed by marketing heads/CEOs who largely propagated sexism as a means of operating their business (and continue to rely on such tactics), will have jabroni marks buying some shitty ass $10 razor at Publix with pride, and may even continue to repeat their business as the next "BUY OUR NEW MANLY RAZOR WITH TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MALE HAIR FOLLICLES" AD goes up on the next issue of Sports Illustrated.

The year: 2019.  Finally.  A ragtag group of developers dare to make a game about mental illness that explores the symbiotic relationship between woke capital and the anti-corporate left.

If purplegaf really wanted to be honest about the precursor of gamergate, they'd remember this thread which existed solely to mock the shit-tier journalistic integrity of the enthusiast press and many names you will still recognise from era posted within it.

Or perhaps it was even earlier than that, when the 'real press' guy exposed what he got as a swag bag from MS, where the enthusiast press who also all received free Xboxes and cat helmets didn't say shit to anyone because they were so accustomed to their little publisher freebies it didn't even cross their minds that a thing called conflict of interest exists.

Or earlier than that, the known fanboy journos ascending from press shills to actual pr shills at their favorite companies, and maybe ending up with important positions on actual dev teams for their favorite games luke smith frank o'connor.
