So regarding that Paul Walker thread,

wow at that gaming industry guy who chose to die on that "its not pedophelia, its ebophibia (or whatever) hill.

POSTING THIS KIND OF GARBAGE  WITH HIS WORK-VERIFIED ACCOUNT

 :doge kinda surprised it didn't blow up more than that..

I’m from an age of consent = 16 state. In my eyes, Paul Walker did nothing wrong.

Wtf this girl was over 16?
Doesn't "underage" mean under the age of consent, or has that word also changed meaning?

He didn't though, the mods did it for him, which is kinda fucked if the girl was over 16. You aint a pedo if she's 16 and it's not "akshually,..." if you point that out. That would make pedophilia legal in pretty much the entire world, except apparently, california.

OH SHIT I FORGOT I HAVE TO VOTE
Quote
What makes you think they’d vote intelligently anyway? Some people who don’t vote are better off not voting.
Quote
Voted in WI a few hours ago. I spent quite a bit of time in the library I voted in, and I'm probably the only person under 30, possibly even 40 who went in to vote. Tons of people who were in their 50s and 60s though. I'm honestly getting really sick of younger people complaining about the state of politics yet can't bother to show up for elections outside of presidential ones. Hell, I couldn't even get my brother to give enough of a shit to vote in this election. Can't get him to care about the one in November either. Unless its to vote against Trump, he just does not give a shit, and I can't get it through his head that things aren't going to get better unless we get democrats back into every level of government.
This kinda piggybacks on that meetup where nobody understood how House seat distribution works but they had strong opinions about it anyway.

These elections are almost all primaries except for a couple special elections that are temporary anyway. They'd mostly just bitch if some Brogressive Nazi like Ocasio-Cortez beat an Opportunity Democrat in a toss up seat.

As long as the person votes lockstep Democrat in November what are they up in arms about? The parties don't want high turnout primaries, it leads to unapproved candidates winning too often. Someone who might oppose Nancy Pelosi as speaker might even get the nomination.

Yesterday afternoon I met a friend at a brewery. We started chatting with a guy who was sitting near us, he said he was the first to show for a beer meet-up that was arranged on a forum, I asked what forum, he said "have you ever heard of a place called ResetERA?"


Not to be a doxxing Benji, but a quick google says there was just a meetup in MN this past weekend, and only two people showed up. Might be funny to see the politics posts from those two users but I'm too lazy to put in that much work.

also there's barely any examples of "woke" professors, let alone "too woke" in that thread

which shouldn't be surprising since academia is inherently conservative, maybe they should try some community colleges or private liberal arts schools where the standards for instructors are... more flexible let's say

This is getting off topic but the Germans actually had sarin gas by 1943 and his generals pleaded with him to be able to use it but he refused. It would have definitely been effective on the defensive. Not so much in the early war before sarin when they were on the offensive though, I agree with that.

He is surely going to reply at any moment to back up his accusation that the people in this thread are both racist and sexist.
There’s too much to compile. Like every other post is some “angry black woman” mess. Even the thread title has shades of it in there. I explicitly avoided using that kind of language in the title but someone on the mod team decided to make an edit.
Now, the admins are actively banning women who feel unsafe.

It's the warning system thing they use;  there are other closed threads that actually have clearly meant for public messages.

I suspect EviLore is losing it;  I dont think he's really posting anymore.   Moving back in with Mom probably.

I thought it was a RE thread for some reason lol. Should have known better.

It does sound like a strange critique to me. Most of Academia is all about quoting and citing concepts other people have come up with. But I also wouldn't be surprised if the guy left out some important detail. Apparently is his description of the movie already way off.

My hate to IGN never been higher!
I hate this channel and people who work there! Filip Miucin shouldn't be fired!

Calling themselves "journalists", IGN is offending thousands of people who is risking their life in WAR, who is investigating CORRUPTION, POVERTY, VIOLENCE, HUMAN TRAFFIC and DRUG CARTELS. I know so many journalists, brave and full of life, who were killed because of being a professional journalist in 2017. The list is keep growing every day.

What IGN is doing? They are just reviewing digital toys! It isn't "journalism", it is ADVERTISMENT.

IGN is a corrupted channel who takes money to promote and advertise gambling games that designed to lure kids and underage to spend their parent's money.

They are promoting games with microtransactions that is more like a trap for depressive, addictive and vulnerable people. Those games are tricking them to spend their last money to buy a digital furniture and guns.

And these hypocritical people who work in IGN has thrown this young person Filip Miucin under the bus, killed his career, reputation and chances to find a good job only because they wanted to act like a professional journalists which they are not!

They should apologies to a channel from where they have stolen the content and Filip Miucin should be given the second chance to rewrite his stupid review. Nobody should be hurt!

Plagiarism in youtube is absolutely normal, everyone in youtube are stealing content from each other!

A young person - Filip Muicin has committed a harmless crime.
His misdeed was so controversial that it is equal to stealing trivial video game notes.

The youtubers has overcomplicated this minor and harmless wrongdoing to the point of absurdity. The "clickbait Gods" were escalating the situation by talking about seriousness of his guilt, morality and journalism ethics.

What Filip Miucin did was wrong and stupid.
But he shouldn't be fired for being wrong and stupid.

I believe that some people SHOULD have the second chances.
If he had a chance to sincerely apologise as part of IGN team and rewrite his review,
this young person would save his reputation, job and dignity.
All harm could be avoided but instead we have the ugliest situation ever.

IGN team has thrown him under the bus, the youtubers are stigmatising him, suggestible and toxic society is dragging his name through the mud so he wouldn't be able to find another job.

I can only imagine how frightened and insecure this person is feeling last weeks.

Cerium planning on going international, even Chinese journalists are sacred on ERA
https://www.resetera.com/posts/11489153/

Quote
So my warning was for that "he should move to China" joke.......

Explanation given when I asked for the reason of the warning: "Because this is a thread about plagiarism in journalism, this comment suggests that writers in China do not have journalistic ethics. The ethics of journalism are universal and self-respecting journalists would never indulge or abide by plagiaristic practices. To insinuate a plagiarizer would be more at home in China is to discredit the reputation of Chinese journalists, which is not appropriate."

Well, what can I say. China is like the home of copying, replicating, and infringing trademarks, isn't it? Isn't copying stuff even considered a form of flattery in China? Anyway, I'm sorry if anyone of you happens to be Chinese and felt hurt by my joke or something. Of course journalists in China are as ethical as journalists everywhere else. Right?

I love when reeers attack mods in good bad faith and get actioned.

The journo response to Filip-gate has proceeded exactly as expected

Their first move was to circle the wagons around IGN
Their second move was to drag this guy through the mud after he had been fired

Gaming journo's everybody


Edit: More accurate representation of the situation

Phase 1: "Well, this looks bad on all of us but we're doing really hard work and you know, maybe he didn't do it and it is just an alt-right/gamergator internet mob."
This may have been the initial chatter on ERA, but which journos actually did this?

Phase 2: "Woah folks, not all JOURNO's are copiers it was probably a one time mistake. No need to attack ALL OF US."
I fail to see what's wrong with that.

Riotous already mentioned another.

Gaming journo's everybody
Nintex everybody?

Phase 3: "See, this was just this one thing and we all agree but he probably had his reasons. Also it's not nice to look into old content and personal posts of people."

Who said this?

I've seen the opposite;  the journos were encouraging and doing the digging into the past.
That only happened after the dude told everyone to look for other stuff because they'd never find it.

At this point they're all just prolonging the drama.

No it didn't; it happened well before that.  Shrier or whatever posted the second finding on his Twitter and added it to the Kotaku article on the topic days before dude ever posted his BS apology.

Either way, I asked you a question;  you made a claim that gaming journos were acting a certain way.. where did you see this?
On my Twitter feed.

Not taking a side on the whole “why does a WWII game have handicapped women soldiers” but it’s hard to deny that games that RE goes against seem to gain popularity (The Last Night, Kingdom Come) and games they support for diversity efforts seem to lose popularity (Mass Effect, BFV). I’m wondering if publishers see a trend.

I honestly don't think Wolfenstein II selling poorly or BFV pre-sales being bad indicative of their social leaning at all. 98% of people who play video games don't care and most likely aren't even aware of that stuff.

I know someone who buys and plays every Battlefield game religiously. He doesn't even know there will be women in it. And he really doesn't care either.

Its really not a big deal, nor is it some brave thing EA is doing.

Also, Mass Effect failed because it was a shit game.

True. I didn’t follow Wolfenstein but weren’t people upset that it didn’t go far enough? Or was that Far Cry 5, which to be fair, sold amazingly.

I've not seen a single piece of marketing for this game after the reveal show. It's just bizarre.

Not sure what EA's marketing dept has been doing. Also they're handicapping themselves by not throwing in things about WW2 that people know or whatever.
Sure, some unnamed Resistance member fighting for the Fjords could be interesting and refreshing but people play WW2 games to gun down marching Nazi's and if possible Hitler himself or dress up as SS officers to shoot Americans or Commies.
Show us the Spitfire dogfights, the Tiger tanks barreling through Stalingrad and some U-Boat spy shit and I'm sure most WW2 shooter fans will jump back on board. 

Remove all that and you're kinda left with a game that takes place during WW2 but has little to do with the conflict itself.

It's this narrative of "telling the untold stories" but in reality it feels more like budget cuts.

Overall, I think Soderlund saw the writing on the wall for Battlefield, EA's Star Wars license and especially Anthem.
It launches in February allegedly and they had like 3 minutes of a barely working Destiny clone with Jetpacks, sorry 'game' at E3.

Streaming platforms will be the next hill for a lot of these gaming companies to die on.
Because they won't be able to compete with Microsoft and Google on this front. Even though they think they can.

The only thing keeping EA afloat at this point are the sports games.

Maybe they should bring back Medal of Honor you know, as a mobile dating sim.  :lol
