I know it's just a pure coincidence, but it's eerie to me, mainly because I know the reason it was being done there is the same reason its being done here (they are just being more open about it). Feels just like the admins have really just let the alt right win. May sound dramatic, and I'm sure it'll get dismissed (especially by these "prominent posters"), but one of their goals, especially in regards to online discussion, is to decouple 'politics' from discussion about forms of entertainment so that things like social and racial issues aren't as present or as consumable in popular topics and culture. But I don't know, it is what it is. Hopefully it will work out, all you can really say about it at this point.

It's over. Cerium and all has given in to the alt-right Nazis

It's the same thing as the GAF change except Resetti calls their shitty politics board no one want to look at "EtcetEra"

[Transhuman]

It's over. Cerium and all has given in to the alt-right Nazis 

They "let the alt-right win" when they shut down open discussion. Now resetera is a weapon used to attack the left, because people can point at the more egregious bans and say "look how fucking crazy these people are".

[Averon]

Don't know if you're in troll mode still or not lol, but that's fair. It's really not worth getting that upset about, especially when it's obvious the admins don't really care what you think. It can be easy to get sucked into these big online communities and think you're really part of something, or it is for me sometimes, but we're all just clicks on an ad revenue screen lol. That's all, just a digital dollar sign.

Took him (her?) this long to figure out that Cerium (and Evilore previously) never cared and are only in it for the ad revenue. Well, at least they are now aware.

Cauliflower isn't the only one with a secret insider that lives in his head. I got sent a draft for the ERA Strategy Guide for proper conduct by ERA members and moderators that incelsiorlef had commissioned to be written by TyrantGuardian.

WARNING PROBLEMATIC GENDER USAGE:

The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no personal interests, no business affairs, no emotions, no attachments, no property, and no name. Everything in him is wholly absorbed in the single thought and the single passion for revolution.

The revolutionary knows that in the very depths of his being, not only in words but also in deeds, he has broken all the bonds which tie him to the social order and the civilized world with all its laws, moralities, and customs, and with all its generally accepted conventions. He is their implacable enemy, and if he continues to live with them it is only in order to destroy them more speedily.

The revolutionary despises all doctrines and refuses to accept the mundane sciences, leaving them for future generations. He knows only one science: the science of destruction. For this reason, but only for this reason, he will study mechanics, physics, chemistry, and perhaps medicine. But all day and all night he studies the vital science of human beings, their characteristics and circumstances, and all the phenomena of the present social order. The object is perpetually the same: the surest and quickest way of destroying the whole filthy order.

The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.

The revolutionary is a dedicated man, merciless toward the State and toward the educated classes; and he can expect no mercy from them. Between him and them there exists, declared or concealed, a relentless and irreconcilable war to the death. He must accustom himself to torture.

Tyrannical toward himself, he must be tyrannical toward others. All the gentle and enervating sentiments of kinship, love, friendship, gratitude, and even honor, must be suppressed in him and give place to the cold and single-minded passion for revolution. For him, there exists only one pleasure, on consolation, one reward, one satisfaction – the success of the revolution. Night and day he must have but one thought, one aim – merciless destruction. Striving cold-bloodedly and indefatigably toward this end, he must be prepared to destroy himself and to destroy with his own hands everything that stands in the path of the revolution.

The nature of the true revolutionary excludes all sentimentality, romanticism, infatuation, and exaltation. All private hatred and revenge must also be excluded. Revolutionary passion, practiced at every moment of the day until it becomes a habit, is to be employed with cold calculation. At all times, and in all places, the revolutionary must obey not his personal impulses, but only those which serve the cause of the revolution.

The revolutionary can have no friendship or attachment, except for those who have proved by their actions that they, like him, are dedicated to revolution. The degree of friendship, devotion and obligation toward such a comrade is determined solely by the degree of his usefulness to the cause of total revolutionary destruction.

It is superfluous to speak of solidarity among revolutionaries. The whole strength of revolutionary work lies in this. Comrades who possess the same revolutionary passion and understanding should, as much as possible, deliberate all important matters together and come to unanimous conclusions. When the plan is finally decided upon, then the revolutionary must rely solely on himself. In carrying out acts of destruction, each one should act alone, never running to another for advice and assistance, except when these are necessary for the furtherance of the plan.

All revolutionaries should have under them second- or third-degree revolutionaries – i.e., comrades who are not completely initiated. these should be regarded as part of the common revolutionary capital placed at his disposal. This capital should, of course, be spent as economically as possible in order to derive from it the greatest possible profit. The real revolutionary should regard himself as capital consecrated to the triumph of the revolution; however, he may not personally and alone dispose of that capital without the unanimous consent of the fully initiated comrades.

When a comrade is in danger and the question arises whether he should be saved or not saved, the decision must not be arrived at on the basis of sentiment, but solely in the interests of the revolutionary cause. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh carefully the usefulness of the comrade against the expenditure of revolutionary forces necessary to save him, and the decision must be made accordingly.

The new member, having given proof of his loyalty not by words but by deeds, can be received into the society only by the unanimous agreement of all the members.

The revolutionary enters the world of the State, of the privileged classes, of the so-called civilization, and he lives in this world only for the purpose of bringing about its speedy and total destruction. He is not a revolutionary if he has any sympathy for this world. He should not hesitate to destroy any position, any place, or any man in this world. He must hate everyone and everything in it with an equal hatred. All the worse for him if he has any relations with parents, friends, or lovers; he is no longer a revolutionary if he is swayed by these relationships.

This filthy social order can be split up into several categories. The first category comprises those who must be condemned to death without delay. Comrades should compile a list of those to be condemned according to the relative gravity of their crimes; and the executions should be carried out according to the prepared order.

When a list of those who are condemned is made, and the order of execution is prepared, no private sense of outrage should be considered, nor is it necessary to pay attention to the hatred provoked by these people among the comrades or the people. Hatred and the sense of outrage may even be useful insofar as they incite the masses to revolt. It is necessary to be guided only by the relative usefulness of these executions for the sake of revolution. Above all, those who are especially inimical to the revolutionary organization must be destroyed; their violent and sudden deaths will produce the utmost panic in the government, depriving it of its will to action by removing the cleverest and most energetic supporters.

The second group comprises those who will be spared for the time being in order that, by a series of monstrous acts, they may drive the people into inevitable revolt.

The sixth category is especially important: women. They can be divided into three main groups. First, those frivolous, thoughtless, and vapid women, whom we shall use as we use the third and fourth category of men. Second, women who are ardent, capable, and devoted, but whom do not belong to us because they have not yet achieved a passionless and austere revolutionary understanding; these must be used like the men of the fifth category. Finally, there are the women who are completely on our side – i.e., those who are wholly dedicated and who have accepted our program in its entirety. We should regard these women as the most valuable or our treasures; without their help, we would never succeed.

Convinced that their emancipation and the achievement of this happiness can only come about as a result of an all-destroying popular revolt, the Society will use all its resources and energy toward increasing and intensifying the evils and miseries of the people until at last their patience is exhausted and they are driven to a general uprising.

Lore defending Daddy Peterson

Peterson has been repeatedly labeled an alt-right instigator despite having no allegiance to alt-right groups or ideological overlap or sympathy to any of that crap. Per the allegations, they've directly associated him with Nazism. As a public figure, university professor, and author, allegations of that nature can demonstrably harm his reputation, his livelihood, and even jeopardize his safety.

When you make serious public accusations, there can be consequences. Those consequences can be tangible and measurable. If those accusations are unfounded, you may find yourself on the receiving end of a defamation lawsuit and get an injunction to have your accusation retracted and/or be forced to provide financial remedy.

The premise of this side-story is that some of Peterson's public statements of intent re: filing the defamation suit may contradict its premise as legally filed, I guess? That's open to debate, sure, and could certainly influence outcomes too since it's literally part of the legal defense being presented apparently, but his motive for filing the suit, or whether he's upset about what happened or not, doesn't change whether the alleged defamation occurred or not.

So, yeah... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation

This is true. If I can help it, I try to do errands like going to the store with my brother or a male friend. I'm barely ever bothered when this happens. It sucks because my SO now is a woman, so I'm noticing that they don't respect that at ALL and act doubly creepy towards us both.

This is interesting, as just today I was told by Era staff that... even though I wrote complete scripts for 3 finished ( Two well reviewed and one just about to ship) complete titles, that exist on every major console, PC, and mobile platforms... and additionally done voice acting/Art and character design//script naturalization for several more, and have a career in the game industry that spans almost a decade....my "body of work is not yet prominent enough to merit Verified status"


I had to laugh because I see "verified" users whom I know on these boards who have only one game under their belt, or who are industry administrators...meaning they aren't like myself, part of the actual creative team that makes the games.

My only conclusion here is that resetera has their own special set of metrics by which to gauge who is special enough to fall into their category, and that gauge itself seems to change based on...their mood that day maybe? The funniest bit is that the reason I even requested such verification is in no way tied to the silly elitist "I am a game dev/journalist and therefore special AF" views a lot of people around here seem to see it as and more for the simple reasons that...

A- I thought this forum was a good place to network with fellow game developers, and those passionate about gaming, in order to help me be better in my chosen career by fostering discussion with like minded people and other creatives in the industry.

B- So that every time I DO try to engage in conversation as a developer, I don't need to derail a thread by being required to explain the intricacies of my job to those who ( because it is the internet) simply assume I am making shit up.

Honestly me trying to save myself and other users inconvenience by having them look through my resume, and meeting that response....just makes me raise an eyebrow in disgust. It amounts to...

"oh yeah we totally see you are a video game developer who is actively working in the games industry...buuut....er...not by our standards."

Can someone explain this in a way that doesn't make me think this isn't a childish response to a genuine request to engage better in a community I am undeniably and irrefutably a part of.

If you can VERIFY it...then it is verified era...don't be douches about how big someone's body of work is. If they have games they helped make go to market on more platforms than itunes...and can prove it to you, you have verified them. don't be elitist jerks about it.

You can attempt to mold them or keep them in check, but they are like feral cats. They're always going to revert to being kooky.

Yeah, the transition from GAF to Era made this really apparent, especially when GAF came back up first. A lot of the readership didn't really care about the controversy and just wanted a nice news aggregator, but all the people who normally spend significant chunks of their lives to create all the threads had left, so the forum lost its purpose for its readership.

After a certain point, the more content a user provides to your forum, the more likely they are to be crazy.

This is interesting, as just today I was told by Era staff that... even though I wrote complete scripts for 3 finished ( Two well reviewed and one just about to ship) complete titles, that exist on every major console, PC, and mobile platforms... and additionally done voice acting/Art and character design//script naturalization for several more, and have a career in the game industry that spans almost a decade....my "body of work is not yet prominent enough to merit Verified status"


I had to laugh because I see "verified" users whom I know on these boards who have only one game under their belt, or who are industry administrators...meaning they aren't like myself, part of the actual creative team that makes the games.

My only conclusion here is that resetera has their own special set of metrics by which to gauge who is special enough to fall into their category, and that gauge itself seems to change based on...their mood that day maybe? The funniest bit is that the reason I even requested such verification is in no way tied to the silly elitist "I am a game dev/journalist and therefore special AF" views a lot of people around here seem to see it as and more for the simple reasons that...

A- I thought this forum was a good place to network with fellow game developers, and those passionate about gaming, in order to help me be better in my chosen career by fostering discussion with like minded people and other creatives in the industry.

B- So that every time I DO try to engage in conversation as a developer, I don't need to derail a thread by being required to explain the intricacies of my job to those who ( because it is the internet) simply assume I am making shit up.

Honestly me trying to save myself and other users inconvenience by having them look through my resume, and meeting that response....just makes me raise an eyebrow in disgust. It amounts to...

"oh yeah we totally see you are a video game developer who is actively working in the games industry...buuut....er...not by our standards."

Can someone explain this in a way that doesn't make me think this isn't a childish response to a genuine request to engage better in a community I am undeniably and irrefutably a part of.

If you can VERIFY it...then it is verified era...don't be douches about how big someone's body of work is. If they have games they helped make go to market on more platforms than itunes...and can prove it to you, you have verified them. don't be elitist jerks about it.

It's a little ironic that you should choose to press the issue in this way, because while looking into this just now I discovered that this is actually your second account here and that your first account was permanently banned in May.

Given that we do not allow alt accounts, we have now closed yours.

A word of advice: If you send us angry messages regarding your next alt you should avoid doing so from accounts with the same name and profile picture attached.

PS: I would like your posts, but the communist nazis that run this hate forum disabled it for me

Hmmm... Calling the majority's opinon crazy conspiracy theories and then using pre-determined party line key words....

I feel like I've seen that somewhere else recently but I can't quite pinpoint where... I must be too exhausted

Holy shit

Nicole, did you really use the alt rights tactic of dismissing concerns as "Crazy conspiracy theories".

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, how is ZattMurdock doing these days?

El was and continues to be a moron. Be it Europe, shower, Amirox or Bish-gate the only thing he consistently does is try to make himself look good.

Dude has no self awareness whatsoever and honestly doesn't realize he keeps making himself seem worse

Set

WOKE!

Maybe we should let the woman decide how she feels about this instead of telling her how she should feel?

User Banned (1 Week): Dismissive drive-by post in a sensitive thread.

O MY GOD, even the threads are sensitive now.
