tfw you just go full un self-aware racism

I am aware of the statistics involved. The list is pretty straight forward assuming you know the players in the NFL and their skin color. Some of you toss around Racism like Ree tosses around Nazi's.

The fact that they used the verb "moderate" as a threat to mean "bring down the hammer" shows just how warped their idea of what a moderator's role in discussion is.

Hate speech is very easy to define. When a subreddit like The Donald is promoting the hanging of certain politicians or cheering a mass shooting that is the definition of hate.

Yep. Same thing when some make claims about wanting to be more transparent in their conduct: it sounds good to say, but that shit just is not true and we all know it.
:snoop


Quote
Many of the people we spoke to described ResetEra as an opportunity to redefine what moderation culture looks like from the ground up. Without worrying about Malka’s presence and reputation, they would be able to set their own rules and guidelines, operating under the internal rules they agreed upon in the earliest of planning stages. Big industry names and notorious ex-NeoGAF moderators, including Erren Van Duine, Emily Rogers, Nibellion and Shinobi602 all joined ResetEra with hopes of building a bigger and better forum for the community to thrive in — one that wouldn’t be associated with NeoGAF.

Shinobi602, a known member who stepped back from NeoGAF in March, told Polygon that, for the most part, ResetEra’s moderation and administrative sides will be full of new faces, alongside those notable to longtime followers.

“We see this as a fresh start and an opportunity to build our own moderation culture and aren't really looking for comparisons,” Shinobi602 said. “We hope to be genuinely fair minded, reasonable and transparent. We really want to shape a positive community for everyone. A few moderators may be familiar but for the most part the staff has no connection with other forum staff.”

...

"We'll definitely push for more warnings and leniency first and foremost. People need to have a chance to understand mistakes before slamming down an auto-banhammer. Common sense should really prevail first and foremost. If someone doesn't get the message once or twice well.."

Here I am thinking that I was being subtle there, but it seems like nothing escapes Benji; he sees my lack of slickness.

They want those sweet achievements and free games. Plus evilore is desperate so those dreams of being a mod and working for him for free are that much closer to being a reality.

Not to give credence to the latter but it's not mutually exclusive. Mobs by definition are hard to define, and there's certainly a tendency for fandoms to form those online and for many fanboys to exhibit reactionary and nostalgic kneejerks including against any form of artistic and thus casting diversity.

But yeah nuance is often the first victim of those debates.

Yes, a country with a GDP lower than most of individual major EU states is totally able to wrestle total financial control of the whole political class from some of the wealthiest capitalists in the world, who have never been shy with their contributions, in a system very lenient on private financing for parties and candidates.

People just need to put pitchforks away, all around. The ArenaNet woman screwed up in a way that could be fireable offense at a lot of companies, but she also didn't necessarily need to be fired. A reprimand would probably have been fine. But because there was a mob (not Gamergate before the firing, mind you, but a mob nonetheless), the company couldn't really afford to not fire her. But that mob didn't need to form. The attacked dude could have reported it to the company as an individual complaint, and the company could have handled it in a proportional way. But because thousands of people got offended on his behalf, firing her was the only reasonable solution.

Stop forming mobs, people. If someone wrongs someone else, let the wronged handle it. You don't need to rally behind that person like you were all attacked. Only that guy was.

Why are you even mentioning all this crap regarding this particular incident? Obnoxious bitch that has been fired before for being an obnoxious bitch acted like an obnoxious bitch against a customer that was extremely polite to her and got fired, that is the real story here. Why the fuck you people decided to give even an inch to these SJW distinguished mentally-challenged fellows regarding this subject I have no fucking idea. I mean I suspect why but still.

I feel that if she had agreed to publicly apologize she should have been able to keep her job. I doubt she would have been willing though, because her victim complex seems too strong and she doesn't strike me as capable of seeing that she was in the wrong.

For the record that piece of shit was celebrating TB's death along with the rest of the SJW scum.





Funny how the same hypocrites that talk about against "freedom from consequences" defend scum like her that celebrate and brag about a young man dying from cancer and all this because he disagreed with them.

Want proof that gamergate is vastly morally superior compared to these subhumans? Just look at their reaction at TB's death despite the fact that a few months ago TB was shitting on them publicly. The thread about TB on KiA was full of people offering condelences, I don't think even one comment was negative and the ones that talked about TB's disagreement with GG were all pointing out that it doesn't matter and that he was still a great person.

Not to give credence to the latter but it's not mutually exclusive.

In this case it is. The artist formerly known as Gamergate had nothing to do with this shitshow.

People just need to put pitchforks away, all around. The ArenaNet woman screwed up in a way that could be fireable offense at a lot of companies, but she also didn't necessarily need to be fired. A reprimand would probably have been fine. But because there was a mob (not Gamergate before the firing, mind you, but a mob nonetheless), the company couldn't really afford to not fire her. But that mob didn't need to form. The attacked dude could have reported it to the company as an individual complaint, and the company could have handled it in a proportional way. But because thousands of people got offended on his behalf, firing her was the only reasonable solution.

Stop forming mobs, people. If someone wrongs someone else, let the wronged handle it. You don't need to rally behind that person like you were all attacked. Only that guy was.
I feel that if she had agreed to publicly apologize she should have been able to keep her job. I doubt she would have been willing though, because her victim complex seems too strong and she doesn't strike me as capable of seeing that she was in the wrong.
Maybe. Her account suggests she was just fired, though, and not offered any form of apology ultimatum. That also seems like the most prudent move for the company once the mob has formed. It would have been too costly to keep her on at that point.

Either way, my point is that she screwed up, and the attacked party should have filed an individual complaint and allowed the company to handle the behavior without the pressure of a mob breathing down their necks. She was a jerk, and may have ended up getting fired even without the mob, but I'm almost always going to oppose a mob calling for someone to get fired for a screw-up. The only exception would be something like a Harvey Weinstein situation, and even then, I think a whole lot of evidence needs to come to light before public backlash costs someone their job.

Ultimately the problem was that many of the usual suspects began propping up the erroneous argument that she was the one who was first attacked and wronged.  Factual reality has no place for these kinds of people, and it does a disservice to the causes they always claim to champion.
