In hindsight, it's still quite hard to understand. Everyone browsing Neogaf, or at least the vast majority knew Evilore was a creepy nerd toward women (that famous ass grab power move in spain, among other things).

Why did the shower scene triggered the community that bad when they were quite ok with the other things he did to other women in the past (sharing nude pics and all) ?

Honestly, the shower scene is probably the least creepy thing he did compared to the other well-known stuff like the power ass grab.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this internet shitshow, but the whole motive behind Neogaf explosion seems shaddy. Plus, I still don't understand how resetera is so much Pro-Nintendo when being a pro-Nintendo on Neogaf was almost as bad as being a pro-Microsoft, especially consdering the core base of member is quite the same.

[thisismyusername]

I remember that idiot NinjaScooter explaining to me on GAF about hoa rap artists weren't entrenched in gang culture and it's just braggadocious fantasy lyrics 

I mean now a days, most of these people out here ain't bout that life. The list of rappers actually bout that gang shit is few and far between

Most of em be fake claiming or just sayin shit

So then why glorify the gang culture? Is that still what is "hot" in hip-hop? Explain this shit to those of us that don't follow this.

For the same reason metal & satanism, rock & biker gangs, jazz and Zoot gangs are associated ?

Satanism isn't big in Metal. Maybe in Death Metal, but most Metal is "dark" not "hail Satan 666 one true god!!!" Rock hasn't been with Biker Gangs since like... the 80's.WTF. Same with Jazz and I'd put that in the 60's.

Ignoring that, all those genres aren't glorifying those things. You don't have numerous Jazz songs talking about people wearing Zoots shooting someone for crossing them.

[D3RANG3D]

The only people who are serious about Satan in terms of Metal is usually Black Metal, specifically Scandinavians.

[agrajag]

Yeah it seems like Vom is fairly ignorant about those genres. Lords of Chaos was 20 years ago. Varg murdered Euronymous a quarter of a century ago.

People were more okay with that stuff just a few years ago, when you could still get cheap lulz from posting "cheeseburger Surprise" on GAF. Everyone was less woke back then. Plus, when the Shower Incident hit, it was coming right on the heels of Amir0x getting arrested for kiddy porn and Opiate getting ousted for being a small bean regarder, and then people were like "oh yeah, he did that assgrab stuff too, hmm maybe NeoGAF is not so cool anymore?"

[thisismyusername]

I wouldn't necessarily say that, but it's not the right comparison with a genre that has (for a while) glorified gang culture. Like, I get it's from the "hood" but if you're not from the hood why are you singing about something that doesn't effect you? "Write what you know." I guess.

Lttp Ghostbusters 2016 thread is about to turn into a battleground now that the brave few are admitting they liked it

#72

    I'm just gonna drive-by post to state that I adore Ghostbusters 2016. Saw it twice in the cinema, and several times on the home version extended cut. I genuinely think it is The Best Ghostbusters film, and I say that as a Ghostbusters fan who owns all three movies, and who is old enough to have seen all three in the cinema.

    I don't feel there is any value in trying to convince people something is funny if they think it isn't. You didn't laugh? Fair enough. I did though. Comedy is very subjective and we all laugh at different things. One of my best mates absolutely hates it too, and I know he's judging it on his own merits without any other motives. All the rest of my social circle loved it same as me though, and kids in particular are super into it. Two separate 7 year olds, one boy and one girl, both think it's brilliant. Holtzmann in particular was one of the best recieved characters I've seen, she single-handedly moved a lot of people on the Kinsey scale. No word of a lie, one day I had both a straight woman and a gay man I know making the almost exact same tweet about their confused feelings for her.

    I'm only posting because there's a page of “this movie sucks” consensus, dragging up a movie from 2 years ago to beat on it again when we know that it came out under a cloud of deliberate and obvious orchestrated hate campaigns. It's important to note that there are plenty of us who love GB2016 and one of my biggest regrets is that there will likely never be a sequel.

    I especially love the complaints about the film being bad because it was improvised, when loads of other highly praised films like Ragnarok etc did the same. Again, if you didn't enjoy the results, didn't laugh at the jokes, fair enough. Other comedy films are available, and I'll probably sideeye you for some of your faves in return. But I've legit seen (and I'm talking the last two years in general, not just this thread) the fact that it was improv based listed as why it was bad so many times now when successful films of all genres were often mostly created on the fly.

    I love all the special features on the digital version because even with the extended cut, there's a solid 30 mins + of other material that wasn't included, but that could have been, and I'm hoping for a fan super-cut that weaves all this other stuff into it. The full version of Kevin's interview is almost 14 minutes of deliciously dry humour and Hemsworth is goddamn hilarious. If you enjoyed Ragnarok, then you owe at least part of your thanks to GB2016 as this is where Hemsworth learned how to be funny. Or more accurately, learned how funny he already was given the license to let it out. (No, really, he's pretty open about how worried he was about trying to improv with the SNL women. They said “don't worry, leave that to us” and then he surprised everyone by being brilliant at it.)

    Anyway, when you're doing your “ugh, this movie sucks, who even likes this garbage?” I just wanted to raise my hand and let you know that me, and many people I know, love this film. I've seen all of them multiple times over, like them all (I've been a lonely defender of GB2 for many years even), but I'll never be moved from the position that Girlbusters is Bestbusters.

I loved it, I want a sequel. Once again the nerd hivemind is completely wrong about something, surprise surprise.

This will lead to arguments and discussion - neither of which is welcome at REEE

I thought it was as good as any other reboot film. The only reason it got so much shit was because of sexism.

It isn't the worst reboot out there but it's still shite.

The Amir0x thing would not have been nearly as bad for EL and his mods if they treated Amir0x as any other poster. Amir0x's super aggressive special fellow outs in political threads should have caught him a perm ban long before his exposure as a pedo. But he was given chance after chance after chance because he was ultra "woke" in the right kind of politics. That eventually blew up in EL and his mod team's faces, which is why Cerium needs to watch Sweetnicole and her other half. Protecting troublesome posters because they have it in with the administration blew up in NeoGAF's face, and Reset's admin are looking to fall into the same trap.

In Orange County there was what I guess you would call a forerunner of the modern megachurch named the Crystal Cathedral and it was Calvinist--which is already funny since there are no bishops in Calvinism--but then it went bankrupt and the building was sold to the local Catholic diocese who didn't move their bishop there.

It's a good thing they think all those Ls were preordained.

Because his post is on the moderator's side, ie, naked women in japanese games are an affront to humanity.

Your post insinuated that medical advice trumps real lived experience, which is not something the moderation team agrees with. Lionpride disobeyed redtext, which theyreally don't agree with.

It's not a matter of discussion quality, it's a matter of right side/wrong side. They don't want you, they want passive aggression and piss steak boys.

What'd you get banned for marrec?

Said that doctors knew more about how to medically treat trans people than other trans people.

No, really. That was the reason.

[marrec]

OK I found it;  that seemed like kind of a dumb thing to say.  Not ban worthy or offensive; but these trained professionals only have the experiences of trans patients to go on so it's kinda of... a backwards thing to say.

In all cases when dealing with medical issues, you should trust the professionals first and foremost. No where did I say that the experience of knowledge of the trans community is worthless, only that it shouldn't be weighed as much as... you know... fucking doctors.

How on earth is that a dumb thing to say?

I'm fine with the basis of your statement;  but the doctors you talk to are going to be going on the experience of their trans patients.

So it's kind of dumb to say that trans people's experiences shouldn't be very "weighty" in the equation;  they are essentially the main part of what the doctors are going on.

This is extremely bad logic for an issue as complicated as young kids trying to explore their feelings of sexuality and gender. In no way should anyone suggest trusting a community of people over the training of doctors, but especially when dealing with something as fluid as experiencing feelings of gender dysphoria for the first time.

It's not dumb at all to defer to the knowledge of people trained to take the medical experiences of a marginal community and put those experiences into scientific practice. That's the fucking smartest thing anyone can do, to suggest otherwise is just anti-intellectual.

But ya, I should have stroked the mod staff off by explicitly saying that the experiences of the trans community are valuable to the process, but I assumed that would be made obvious by the fact that I was agreeing with Ketkat.

Doctor's don't just go on the empirical evidence of their patients. They read/write studies and take courses, especially at the specialist level

If every doctor only used their personal experience to treat people it would be a fucking mess

[FStop7]

Geneva Ayala is upset about some of the Internet reaction to her ex-boyfriend's murder ... particularly people who assume she'd dance on XXX's grave. She said, "i didn't lose my life. he did. it's permanent. i'm still here. like how do you think that makes me feel?"

Geneva also called it "disgusting" that anyone would attempt to speak for her.

Think this will get coverage on ResetERA?

Especially at the fringes of medical experience and practice. These doctors are collaborating to create best practices based on the sum of all knowledge in the field up to that point. While the community would clearly have valuable knowledge and advice, they should never be trusted more than professionals.

Like, imagine if someone said that about the autism community. 

[marrec]

Never said that.

How about respond to what I wrote.

Nah, this is the forum shitpost thread, I'll get Cream'd if I entertain our misunderstanding any further.

Besides, we likely agree in large part, I just didn't think through the original ERA post enough to avoid drawing the ire of the Trans community there. A dumb move.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

stop being so transphobic marrec

[marrec]

I added a better explanation though, respond to it jackass, we are discussing your ban from.. get this.. an "Other forum."

Not to sound crass, but your explanation seems semantic in nature.

1 reason: I'm not dismissing the experience of the community in how it affects professional knowledge

Can't see how professionals could get to their understanding without treating actual people

Unless they just do a lot of reading

Regardless, I don't think we should explore this any further

I thought objectification was bad because it was too common. Now it's bad because it's not as common as it used to be making it look "out of place."

How about those who are against objectification just say they are against it without trying to attach their rationale to cultural contexts that in the end turn out to be apparently irrelevant for their belief system.

In any case, those threads always follow the same progression. People come in with their hot takes and a decent discussion takes place in the beginning. Some brave souls dare to disagree with the horde. They are systematically banned. Anyone that would like to add something to the discussion that is not approved by the mods/popular opinion are scared away and the thread devolves into a circle jerk echo chamber where everyone agree with each other.
