Even ignoring how vapid an idea a politics-free site is, we all know what “no politics” is code for. It’s just “Nazis welcome, feel free to use our site as an organizing and recruitment ground”.

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.

 ::) What exactly are the views you supposedly can't express on that board? There's literally nothing that would be problematic there as long as you don't say anything negative about Black Panther, about woman casting in movies, say Kirby games aren't worth your time, that the Ghostbusters remake was stupid, that the Videogame nerd wasn't dogwhistling when showing no interest in said movie, don't say that Anita has too little knowledge about games, that the Democratic Party could improve, that Switch has little exclusives, or suggest that mods could do a single thing differently, ask what gamergate is, don't use terms such as "re" (even if you refer to resetera) or "free speech", don't show pictures of cartoon frogs, don't ask why you can't show cartoon frogs, don't ask what a mod warning means, don't agree with a point that was made in a warned post, disagree with female posters, use the word female, insinuate that men and women could ever have different interests, show interest in cards against humanity, belittle people who were oppressed by TotalBiscuit or Street Fighter character designs, defend the latest Dave Chappelle shows, ask for """historical accuracy""", claim that racism isn't exclusive to white people or insinuate that you find pornstars attractive.

Is it really THAT hard not to be nazi? What are you really hiding?  ::) ::)

That or at least you're a friend of nazis. Once someone posted that being a moderate is finding a balance between the left (everyone is happy and loved) and the right (racial genocide), so a moderate is just "half racial genocide". I was writing a reply to that but that "what am I doing with my life" question popped up and I moved on with my day.

What does a moderate even mean there? Don't they also accuse Bernie supporters of being racist misogynists? To Reee anyone who doesn't support their intersectional bullshit might as well be a full blown, 1488, shaved head, Swastika tattooed, racial genocide desiring, brown shirt wearing Nazi.

Research indicates that very few people are "moderate" and even self identifying nonpartisans actually fall on one of the two poles. In fact a lot of Independent voters are actually Independent because their views are too extreme for their party.

I think your confusing moderates with centrists? Granted, this is all fairly nebulous semantics, but you can be moderate and have certain political leanings.

I think it has to do with the fervor with which you defend your convictions. I think someone like benji is moderate, even though a librarian and so is extremely to the right, and Jack who supports the centrist Queen is less moderate, because he is out there in the trenches every day, doing more for progressive policy on a random Tuesday than all of you will in your entire lives.

We used to be able to just ignore that drivel but these days policy and design decisions are made based on what these 'experts' think.
Say you asked Yoko Taro, Kamiya, Ken Levine, Gabe Newell, Jade Raymond etc. what they think, or even Jeremy Parish or Geoff Keighly than you'd get a pretty good well balanced piece.

But no.... you ask people who consider Mario saving princess Peach SEXIST to write about 'Toxic men' when they go out of their way to tell everyone they won't talk to them or debate them

But like I said, we can't ignore this anymore because before you know it they impose their will on the creators and start pushing some fringe agenda.

But ok, let's start reading:

That thread about The Escapist is  :delicious

OP starts things off with a bang.

Politics are everywhere because they NEED to be everywhere. By not putting politics, you're pandering to those that dislike being criticised, giving them a safe zone from being told what they don't like to hear.

I’m a feminist media scholar, and as such, I don’t believe in gender essentialism. While sex is biological, gender is a social construct. We are trained from childhood to behave in certain gendered ways.

I'm a neoliberal corporate shill, and somehow I haven't been banned.

No shit, the board is a Hillary Clinton honeypot. You are literally what they see in the mirror.

Anything to the right is a nazi. Anything to the left, also a nazi.

I will not mind talking about politics in video games if the people that talk about it the most were not scumbags or idiots that think Gawker did nothing wrong.

But what has men so ENRAGED???

You'd think they'd at least ask some male "experts" as well. Reverse the genders and this would be hailed as mansplaining

Why do you straight cis white men always need to insert yourself into minority conversations, y'all need to stop trying to be slick and sit down and listen.

Don't bring your politics to my video games and don't bring your video games to my politics.
Both will end up in complete and utter disaster

I'm trying to not be too damning but, essentially, yes.

Whether intentional or not, the creator of this documentary shares some of GG's talking points.

Specifically, we should keep politics out of gaming and that many publications are pushing a narrative. As opposed to having sincerely held views.

I'm not suggesting he is involved with GG but he has a similar stance and interviewed a supporter of GG who was recently caught up in a scandal about his support of that harassment campaign. He choose not to challenge Vavra's version of events at all.

All this could be unconnected but at the most basic level, the creator shares some of the supposed aims of GG and that has directed some of his actions during these interviews.

He is completely within his rights to not want to debate on the net but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't discuss it. What he has said can only raise suspicion that at the very least he agrees with Vavra and didn't feel the need to push him or others in the company. Again, that's fine, there is an audience who want to keep it on the gaming side.

Those of us who do not agree feel it is important to point out these inconsistencies. I'm trying my level best to be fair here.

I was really looking forward to watching this documentary but this thread has really soured me on it. I can not in good conscience give clicks to an unrepentant GG participant. However, thanks for the hard work WINGSFAN242 and I will check out some of your other documentaries.

Not one second of this game much less a documentary. I'll put up with a lot of shit from creators to enjoy something but not a gamergater.

This gives me hesitation on watching anything from you at all, unfortunately.
