OK but seriously, how awesome would it be if BP got an Oscar nomination and these pretentious Hollywood imbeciles started sucking each other off during the show about how benevolent and morally superior Hollywood is for making and nominating the movie?Please God, let this happen.
The only other recent film I can think of that's treated like that is TLJ. Funny that.
And before that Wonder Woman. Odd.
Interesting that you thought i was referring to you, despite the fact you didn't mention Get Out.
Name 3 movies released in 2018 better than Black Panther. Or even 1 lmao.Good luck!
$700M yawn fest.
Holy shit, not only did someone make a video about how stupid (it's not) cinema sins is, but some person actually linked to it as some kind of rebuttal.
I never insinuated anything about hidden agendas. I'm flat out saying it's motivated by racism.
I honestly don't understand how people can like CinemaSins' output.They can't decide if they want to be taken seriously or if they're just being silly, and hide behind whichever is most convenient based on the general audience reaction to the film and their video. If you do like them... more power to you I guess? I just can't stand them and legit think they're hacks. Definitely symptomatic of a general treatment of film critique among internet "fans", as said by others ITT before.Also LOL comparing them to Dunkey, Dunkey always makes it clear he's being hyperbolic/ridiculous and when he's got a legit thing to say about something. CinemaSins wears a straight tone the whole damn time, sounds like a snobby asshole you'd run into on a comments thread, not a Youtube funnyman. And, as noted before, never tries to make it clear they're only being satirical or comedic unless it suits them.
Lemme see what’s goin’ on in this thread.....Am I allowed to post that “the whites are at it again” image or is it against the rules?
I know this is your opinions and all but still, half this list is not better than BP.

I do agree with this a little bit. The internet, Youtube especially, is rife with people picking over every tiny detail of movies to point out all the things it did "wrong" instead of watching a movie and just enjoying it or not enjoying it based on the product as a whole. Feels like it has bred a generation of cynics.
There's a phrase that gets truncated to "a few bad apples", but the entire of the quote is "a few bad apples spoil the bunch". if you're concerned about being lumped in with the bad apples, who in this thread said that the movie was bad and only reviewed well because of outside politics (read: Blackness), you might not want to insinuate that people point out these bad apples are posting in bad faith like you did earlier, because you're then letting those bad apples spoil the bunch, which would then include you.

True. I wrote like a 900-word review on why I liked the film. But yea once you go down the negative hole people won't be as willing to open up a discourse
Death and black metal are infuriatingly infested with this.The music and even its imagery was born from the blues, what the fuck is wrong with these people?Fucking trash, the entire worthless sub genres should be thrown in the trash and lit on fire.
CinemaSins is trash. They make money by tearing down films using intellectually lazy and often dishonest critiques that often say more about their inability to comprehend plot than anything else. They clearly optimize for the algorithm and favor quality over quantity and go for the cheapest possible critique of films. Their popularity normalizes and perpetuates lazy film criticism and appeals to people’s worst instincts. It’s akin to shooting handheld footage of bum fights and labeling it a martial arts tournament, then hiding behind the shield of “its satire.”
No offense, Dragona, but you literally didn't know what a tachometer was for in cars and told me they should all be removed *after* I explained all the technical benefits to a tach gauge in driving and racing. I know a female Indy 500 driver who is badass as fuck. Learn how to drive.

The reason Black Panther got rated so highly is because it’s the rare comic book film that actually had a message that it spoke with conviction. It wasn’t just a story of a superhero or a king or a brother or a son. It had something to say and it wasn’t afraid to just come out and say it. That’s what makes it special in the world of comic book movies.

Quote@EviLore did fistfulofmetal ever Paypal you that $20? Nope. Wasn't it $50? Hah. Mind you, I was trolling him and didn't actually want his money but I would've gone through with unbanning him of course if he did his part. The main part of the problem was his anti-gaf sentiment and constant metacommentary at that point. Whatever prompted that whole demand was in the context of his salt at the time. It's been a really long time so damned if I remember but the posts in question should still be in the archive for detectiving.

QuoteOh right it might have been $50, haha. If I remember that incident correctly, he was advocating that members use adblock. There might have been something else. That dude like to push buttons though. Personally speaking, I thought he was hilarious :pAh right, yeah, the adblock stuff. Keep in mind we've banned like less than 10 users ever for that sort of thing. I hate ads too. It's just a dick move to vocally advocate for adblock on a site that's free and ad-supported with no alternate revenue stream, and I've been a hardass about minimal ad footprint the whole time too and have done everything I can to non-commercialize the site over the years. That was my way of trolling him slash offering an olive branch to make things fair and balanced.

Natalie Portman is one of the most beautiful women in the world. If being attracted to her is a crime then lock me up in Portman Prison, obvs. Also I never actually wanted money from him. He and I can certainly have a conversation about all that silly internet drama ancient history if he's down.
QuoteFree MAFI'd be willing. As soon as he apologizes for that post where he insinuated that Hitokage (RIP) had Down's Syndrome. I had a MAF t-shirt that I wore regularly! MAF was the dude who made me a GAF admin, even though he was trolling haha. But my ex-gfs end up taking all my NeoGAF tees. :| Speaking of, our current awesome moderators have asked me about the status of neogaf tees and I'm working on relaunching those through a better distributor than our old one. I don't care if no one else wants any! I don't have any neogaf tees left anymore and there's one professional design I commissioned that I never even got to publish. Hrmph. Will be relaunched and sold at-cost as before and integrated into our upcoming 2.1 design relaunch.

This is really the only time I'm going to post here, because I do believe the accusations against Evilore, and I do feel that this forum's community is really going down the toilet. But, I do want to clarify a few things on this to you and others who might be getting the wrong idea.You seem to have it in your head the admins and mods of resetera are sitting there gleefully banning people left and right, when what actually happens in a case like this, is that everyone is upset that she had to be banned. No one is happy that someone who is hurting and lashing out has to be removed from the community, but sometimes that is the case. And trust me when I say that no one was ignoring her that entire time. I talked with her quite a bit, as did a lot of the trans community, including staff from that site. No one was ignoring her, but at a certain point, you do need to learn when to let go and move on from people who are self-destructive like that. While we want the best for everyone who is reaching out for help, there's only so much that we can do as internet strangers, and a lot of the realities of fixing those views have to come from within. That's something that I personally struggle with, but we're not professionals and we have to learn to accept that we can't help everyone out there.And just because someone is posting in the mental health thread does not give them a free pass to go around insulting other users of the forum, and that wouldn't fly here as well. And its very possible for someone who is transgender to be transphobic. As for the help that she's getting right now specifically, I talked with her slightly after her ban, and she has other communities that she prefers to be a part of. She's not completely shut off, and she's always free to reach out to me and a few other people as well. I know that it can be hard to judge what's going on behind the scenes with a lot of this stuff when you're not directly involved. There's been a few things here and there that have seemed weird to me as well until I heard what was going on, but trust me when I say that everyone on that site is doing their best for the mental health community. No one on the staff is the cartoon villain that you're trying to paint them as.As for your rants on Excel. She asked politely for someone to change the terminology that they were using, and that upsets you? You don't feel that's important enough? I don't understand why you feel that you know what's best for the trans community over the trans people that are speaking up about these issues. Is that the most dangerous issue out there to address? Of course not. But if you seriously want to see trans people as normal, then actually listen to what we're saying instead of constantly browsing places like Voat and Kiwifarms to get your information on us and what's important for our community. Because the way that you're typing here comes off beyond petty over a simple request.I'm going to make this request of you one more time, and I hope you'll genuinely listen this time. Please stop using the mental health of others in your crusade against Era. It's okay to be upset that you were banned, but there are some things that you really should not be dragging into this conversation.
As for your passioned defence of the trans-community, it's pure comedy. You and that fucking loser Excelsiorf are the prime examples of why people who would otherwise be extremely sympathetic to trans issues end up becoming, at best, apathetic and at worst hostile.Because I've seen you posts. You bait and bait people until they inevitably end up banned. I honestly don't even think either of you are trans, and definitely not Excelsiorf, but are instead there just to annoy people, get them stuck in a whirlwind of semantics until you get your 'gotcha!' moment and then you frantically hit the report button as well as sending PM's to your beloved Mod-captains. If I was gonna go into Alex Jones, Infowars, conspiracy theory mode, I'd almost say you're 'false flag' operatives, who are there to make genuine good trans people look bad.It's not a coincidence that the vast majority of people that 'debate' with you on shithole ResetERA end up getting banned. People like you are the enemies of the trans-community.
Good. Race shouldn't be the deciding factor for whether you can get into colleges.
Unless you presume that colleges are now going to reject black and Hispanic students from their colleges, there isn't anything wrong with this. Colleges are still going to make it a point to try and get as many minorities as possible because it's a good way to get donations and avoid controversies. It's good that now the government isn't encouraging this. Hopefully now, quotas aren't gonna be set at colleges as they play this little game of getting a child from every race into their halls.
User Banned (Permanent): Trolling and arguing in bad faith, with a history of such actions, account still in the junior phase.
Post history checks out.
I was hoping that was a response to dragona cuz she came back. Super lame since she hasn't been on gaf in like 8 years
I’ll always love Black Panther for this(Image removed from quote.)
