"You look nice today"

"Harrassment!"

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

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

Hard pass my guy

what a fucking transparent way to start an article

this is from a publication that directly catered to gamergate. they can fuck of forever.

Isn't this the dude trying to take politics out of their site? Fuck off with that.

 

Put simply: someone involved with GamerGate may have cared about ethics, but the movement was about hurting people.

(Image removed from quote.)

GG was about harassing women from day 1. No one gave shit about 'ethics' or 'journalism'. It originated by the allegations of a salty ex boyfriend, ffs.

Put simply: someone involved with GamerGate may have cared about ethics, but the movement was about hurting people.

This and then all these words to end up with a bunch of absolute nothing.

They're getting all fucked up over the fact that the author didn't word a sentence a little differently

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

They're not making a sneaky sneaky argument that parts of gamergate were good

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)

[Uncle]

Oh yeah they were as out for blood as anyone when that IGN guy stole others' reviews wholesale

But they never mentioned the dreaded word "ethics" because that would've emitted a sound too high pitched to hear for all but canines

I've never had this problem but on several occasions I've experienced women make weird comments about my toddler son while out with him.

"Can you be my boyfriend?"
"I'll wait and come back for you in 18 years"
"I want to take you home and make you my BF"
"Hey sexy!"

smh era downplaying thirsty paedo milfs, because compliments are basically sexual abuse when you  about it

[Jenkem]

And black face only gets "I didn't know any better" if it is 1923.

Not quite. There’s this denial that it wasn’t - quite shamefully - seen as acceptable in a certain context until very recently indeed in mainstream, even liberal circles.

Remember how SNL thought to portray Barack Obama from 2008-12?

It is like a bunch of people watched a dude beat his wife then ran up to him made bandaged his knuckles and tsk tsk the wife for not being more considerate. Honestly is is just as damaging because it allows such hate to be continued and never addressed.

What? No. No, no it isn't.

Because your post reminds me of the time I did a duet of It Wasn't Me with Scooby Doo

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.

This person is older with a lot of experience and I think she feels I don’t listen to her. And honestly I don’t really respect her

The incident was me not knowing any better. She tried to go out of her way but I didn’t listen to her. But honestly it probably turned out fine the way I did it. At worst a patient had to get poked again. But yeah, I probably should have known better honestly.

On that page someone says:

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

[VomKriege]

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.

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

It's so hard to immediately forgive because America isn't so far removed from public lynchings. Young black men are killed in modern lynchings every week by people who never face accountability. Young black women are abused and die in police custody on the regular. We have a president who paid for a full page ad trying to convince a city to participate in the modern lynching of five innocent young black men.

None of which were things that liam neeson did, so... isn't it kind of... fucked up to be looking for a random white person to hold accountable for things other people of his skin colour have done that were wrong?

Difference being you're looking to do that today. Not 40 years ago. And are seemingly doing it in a fully rational state of mind, And not seeming to show any shame that you are thinking that way.

Man, people are going to work toward forgiveness at their own pace. White people clearly are gunna forgive him in a split second but it's gunna take some black people a minute and that's because black people face systemic racism every day so it's hard to immediately absolve some rich white dude of his racist past.

Like, I don't want to get into it again, but the stories now not about liam neeson, its about black americans wanting some retribution for the things they have suffered that they are literally never going to get.
Thats why its become 'about racism' when he obviously had no intention of the rapists skin colour being the point of the story.
Its not "hes white so he gets a pass".
I'd be saying literally the same things if it had been a prominent black actor talking about something that happened 40 years ago that never actually came to anything, I'd just be probably saying it to different people.

Notorious Fun site resetera at it again:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/sunny-d-may-suck-but-people-still-care.97936/

the more I think about this the angrier I get

Because of the way it is exploitative of suffering. It is wholly devoid of any level of empathy or consideration for why people are suffering. It takes the basic level of recognition that there is pain and distorts it into a grotesque joke. It is the "let them eat cake" of the 21st century.

This is reprehensible behavior and nobody should stand for it.

It's funny because it reminds me when my actual friends posted suicidal messages, hilarious!!

Haha I too love fake emotions presented from a faceless beverage designed to capitalize on an Anglo-centric feeling of sadness and trepidity.

I reported that tweet for being offensive. Making light of suicide to get followers is fucking infuriating.

I mean my opinion on this is basically orthogonal to the quality of the product itself. Sunny D could be a drink mixed from the veritable cum of God and I still would want them to burn in hell for these antics

Companys pretending to be suicidal to make themselves relatable to millennials is the most dystopian thing I've ever experienced.

Sorry dog but a brand twitter account is a marketing tool and they would not leave a tweet up if it was not serving the brand. Yes brands are weaponizing depression and millennial angst to reach a new generation of consumers because that content gets engagement on Twitter.

So much Fun! at least one person has a brain:

Don’t “sorry dog” me, you condescending clown.

It was literally about the fucking Super Bowl. It wasn’t some fake cry for help. It wasn’t making fun of actual depression. It was someone joking about how bad the big sports game was.

I know it’s fun and cool to get outraged over nothing because the world is terrible, but maybe look at context. What were they tweeting about minutes before? What had they been tweeting about all night? Oh, right. the fucking Super Bowl.

This is absolutely infuriating as someone with actual depression. You all could be doing so much more for people with mental health struggles, but instead spend time reading too much into a fucking tweet because it comes from a brand.

They tried to play it off when other brand accounts engaged. Big deal. “Weaponizing depression?” Give me a break 🙄

Go outside and get some perspective, the lot of you.

I would just like to point out that that poster, Carnby, followed me across multiple boards, multiple discords, and kept the conversation going once I was banned or gone from every where he was, all to tell me how awful I was and how I was ruining the Wrasslegaf community.


Note: I've not been a part of that community for 5 years, and in fact there was a list of names they'd blame everything on for it being a shitty community of self loathing and shit heads sniping at each other constantly. All of those names have been gone for years as well. They still complain about me and some of the others from time to time, but the reality is their community got WORSE once all those names got ran off or banned and all the same complaints are there despite all the people being the alleged root of the complaints being long gone.

It's always been strange how the people most vocal about depression/mental health/etc. on NeoGAF.com and ResetERA.com always seem to present tropes from popular media versions of said things and not the actual symptoms.
