One of ERA triggers still has a pulse.

Remember when the hate campaign turned Kingdom Come: Deliverance from a game no-one had heard of into a triple-A must play?

Thanks for the free advertising, armchair activists.

I don’t trust these people not to put in some grey morals

[MMaRsu]

Why do you even care?

Because I think it's fucked up to ban someone for having a normal discussion about deportation and immigration?

[paprikastaude]

I would understand actually giving this much a damn if you were permed from old GAF, because I guess most of us put years into that place under a specific name and you might have still recognized some normal people even by the end. But this new shithole?    The few times I post in inoffensive topics during worktime I just feel weird, because I know that the place is full of loonies who sincerely believe you're a nazi and it's not like in its short lifetime that forum produced anything that's worth remembering outside of its flabbergasting idiocy. Even normal game discussion is complete shit under the moderation of weird oversensitive fanboys.

[HardcoreRetro]

You're on page 441 in a thread talking about how shit that place is.

You went into a shitflinging contest and now you're complaining about being covered in shit. I don't get it.

You gotta wonder why conservative spaces tend to be filled with conspiracy theories every time.

I'm surprised there is no pizzagate thread on Gaf yet. 

There is one, is in the basement.

I'm with you on this one.  Whether in agreement with you or not, you kept it civil and didn't post anything remotely ban-worthy that I saw.  Meanwhile, whereas in other threads people get warned or banned for blatantly insulting others, but the guys who did it to you after you got banned have had no kinds of warnings or anything for doing the same thing.  Great unbiased moderation there.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

You people are so reecists sometimes.

Um, excuse me- fanboys?

User was banned for this post: Misogyny, gender bias, insulting moderation staff, unpaid parking tickets, not looking both ways when crossing the street, watching reruns of "The Jerry Springer Show," didn't turn in homework assignment on 4/5/1987, keeping expired food in refrigerator, continuing to like Milli Vanilli after being exposed for lip-syncing.  Length of ban: Under review- moderation staff will convene to discuss for a 10 hour meeting this Saturday since nothing is more important than this.

So I started reading that article. It's cracking down on white supremacists on Twitter. There's a line that says something like "now the question is why Republican officials seem to be more affected than others by ghost banning".

One thing that used to bother me about Republicans is that their debates weren't about who had the best ideas but who was the most conservative. Resetera seems to do the same same thing with terms like "progressive" and "leftist."

I don't know if being a pedophile is actually a sexual orientation or not, I'm not a sexuality expert. I just know it makes you more prone to fucking things up for everyone else, much like being born a werewolf. I dont think it's even theoretically possible to rehabilitate pedophilia's image to the masses, nobody's going to be that woke IRL.

The problem comes when the rhetoric is that anything a person was born with must be accepted and somehow embraced

This is not to say that any specific things people are born with like homosexuality need to be treated any differently, just that you need to be able to draw a line in the sand for certain extremes, which is kind of obvious

https://www.resetera.com/threads/male-friends-vs-female-friends.57954/

Knowing this site's issues with women and misogyny I'm trying to avoid having those issues come up, but I think interesting convo can be had about this. When we was younger (like...elementary school) I assume we all tended to stay within groups divided by boys and girls. This is most likely due to expectations pushed upon boys at a young age that girls are gross and bad and we shouldn't like them for reasons. Dunno if girls grew up with that too, but I wanna say probably.

It has to be rough posting on a forum arguably more misogynistic than /r9k/, but I'm glad OP's trying. Thread is extremely problematic and full of "but I have more women friends!" excuses, two-faced brogressives revealing their true selves 

BONUS: Here's the ban of the thread

User Banned (Duration Pending): Sexist generalisations. History of similar behaviour, accumulated infractions.

Guess the post!

When I was growing up, I was mainly friends with guys. Although I have kept a lot of my male friends, most of the close friends I've made since age 18 are women: I'd say I spend most of my time with girls.

As to why? I've noticed that friendships with girls tend to run much deeper — they're more emotionally intelligent, and tend to want to talk about more serious things.

I seem to find that women are often better friends. Better at being sociable, better at hanging out. Most of my friends who are men cannot talk about anything that is not superficial, stupid, work-related, etc. The men are mostly made up of co-workers, as outside of work every guy seems to kind of fend for himself in a sense. Meaning they latch onto their S/O for social connection, etc. They're just that bad/uncomfortable with it. Being the single guy among guy friends who rely on their wives/girlfriends to do shit basically leaves me in the position I've described.

I have a group of close friends I grew up with and am still close with them. All men.

I have had women friends over the years but not many. I much prefer hanging out with guys. I dont like being with my girlfriends friends for example. My closest woman friend is great though, shes not your typical girl. No drama gossip or any of that shit. Shes cool.

Id much rather hang out with the boys though.

I struggle to make friends with anybody of any gender, but in general I would say I'm more comfortable around girls then I am around other guys. Men often seem more unsympathetic and uncaring than women, which in turn makes me uneasy around them.

*Thinks about all the trans people on Reset*

Like I said I'm not saying anything against trans people or ALL things people are born with

Just maybe let's not make it a core worldview that "all things people are born with must be 100% accepted, no one should ever be punished for something intrinsic to them"

There can be exceptions

I am sure many on the staff would love to dole out far more perm bans and month long bans, but they are probably not confident that the number of new members they bring in would offset the perm bans, lurkers, and people who just lost interesting in participating in ERA, whether that was because of perceived unfair bans or other reasons.

Dear blog:

I think I'm done with Era. Didn't get a ban there or anything, but the place is just not fun to post. You have to keep dodging ban baits and shit like that, and you can't even argue with the insanity there or try to bring nuance to a discussion. So, what's the point of discussing? I was thinking about doing this for a time, but those recent shitstorm threads pushed me to the edge.

But maybe I'll try to post a little bit there in some threads now that I'm probably in a hitlist for posting here. I want to get actioned.

Oh no you fucking don't. I've seen first hand what Gamergate led to, I've seen some good people driven out of this fucking industry because of their harassment and know two personally who were pushed to near-suicidal lengths. It's cowards like you who believe in this "fair and balanced", "both sides", "there's nuance" bullshit that led to groups like Gamergate to expand and destroy multiple lives because you are all too cowardly to take the side of decency. There is no fucking nuance to Gamergate, it was always meant to be a campaign to attack women and minorities under the guise of "ethics in game journalism" and an alt-right recruitment tool. To deny this fact, to give it "nuance", is to normalize it and give it validity. So fuck off with that.
