nor did he mention the ongoing boycott against Nintendo over the racist Smash Bros. shit

Its basic Game Theory, you have to make sure you establish yourself as an anti-authoritarian badass that would never let anyone else handle your shit, but you also have to make sure you drop the dime on someone else first and get your deal lined up before they can do it to you, while building relationships by generating hundrds of reports and making sure your posts are pre-emptively vetted for banproofing in advance.

Its called the Snitches Dilemma.

they suggest calling the police for normal everyday human v human interactions. no one is mocking them for wanting to call the cops if someone they knew got raped

Also, gaf/ree is the only place i've ever visited that got all bitchy whenever someone says "snitches get stitches", and at the same time the second most "ACAB" place i've frequented, and the contrast is kinda hilarious.
They're basically wannabe anarchist hall monitors.

For a site that really loves to condemn incels as the worst form of scum to be taking their cues for human interaction from obvious PUA bullshit is bizarre.

Women are generally more tactile than men, and there is a huge fucking difference between a woman stroking your arm saying what a wonderful time she has has at the end of a date that has gone well, and your feeeemale supervisor touching you on the shoulder to get your attention and to discuss a work matter by paying you a compliment, suggesting a way in which you can improve what you have been doing, and then telling you to keep up the good work.

This and the "I ignored someone, fucked up, then they called me an ass, how do I sue???" thread are a real combo double punch

Like I don't know why you have to protest that specific statement which is completely true, someone may have and probably did care about ethics, the point of the statement was that this didn't matter and to condemn the movement completely regardless

Era has a real problem with defining what they actually stand for solely in terms of opposition to things or people they dislike.

Because 'games journalism' pretty clearly has some 'ethics' problems that people are unhappy about, but combine those two specific phrasings and your point is automatically ignored because youre now downplaying the actions of a hate group (or whatever Word Salad Du Jour is on the menu)

What erases murderous racist intent?

When actual murderous actions get 'erased' by letting someone out of prison for the murder they were convicted for in a period that can be as short as just a single decade, let alone 40 years with no possibility of parole which would be some kind of spectacularly horrific murder with never displaying any sense of remorse

e:
My only hypothesis is that people on era don't actually understand the concept of time, so because something is new to them it is basically the same as if it literally just happened

Because the CEOs, CFOs, etc. are specialized positions. You can't fire them without first obtaining all their knowledge and expertise. Whereas accounting departments crunch numbers, IT departments only have a few specialized employees, so they are way easier to cut /downscale.

Ah yes, where would we be without those absolutely essential CEOs, CFOs, etc... Because that's where the know how and craftsmanship really is.

I still don't get it. It happened 40 years ago, and he was ashamed of what he done. People keep going on about what he did, said or thought. The implication is, if you have anything racist in your past, it doesn't matter how far in your past it is, you are completely irredeemable. It doesn't matter how genuine you are, we are going to treat you it as if nothing has changed. You're a racist piece of shit, and will always be a racist piece of shit.

And if that isn't what you think, then what is it we should be upset about?  I don't get it.

What erases murderous racist intent?

When actual murderous actions get 'erased' by letting someone out of prison for the murder they were convicted for in a period that can be as short as just a single decade, let alone 40 years with no possibility of parole which would be some kind of spectacularly horrific murder with never displaying any sense of remorse

e:
My only hypothesis is that people on era don't actually understand the concept of time, so because something is new to them it is basically the same as if it literally just happened

It's not just Era. I've watched shows on TV talking about this where everyone seems to be missing the point.

Well, TV news services have to feed the beast that is a rolling 24 / 7 / 365 newscycle that constantly needs new things to discuss to justify its own existence, but most normal people understand that just because they've only just heard about something doesn't mean it has only just happened, or that you need to allocate significant amounts of your waking life to thinking about whatever is current king of the newscycle

Admittedly I have spent more time than it strictly necessary thinking about Kate Uptons tits and Pippa Middletons arse, but it wasn't because the press were telling me that those things were important at that very minute
