When a member of a site doxxes someone, and members of the site endorse that, and contribute to the atmosphere that encourages that harassment, the sentence "era doxxes people" is appropriate.

Problem here is people get banned from era for "doxing", and in this case.. any doxxing was deleted from the thread, a guy got banned.. and the general discussion was that it was bad anyone got doxxed.

Did hecht get banned? Demodded? Face any repercussions whatsoever? Was discussion concerning hecht doxxing someone allowed to exist on the forum? Sweeping it under the rug is encouragement. Not to mention the hundreds of "fuck that guy" comments.

Is hecht an era?

Forgot to change your account, Bananas?

We are both online, come on. 

So in what Reee community discord are you both in?

The one dedicated to doxxing the bore members. 

[PogiJones]

See my edit.

But you can't just "but" away what I said.. what Transhuman said is fucking ridiculous.  You even hint you are doxxing someone on era and you'll generally get banned and dog piled... like come on..ya'll are some disengenuous fucking hypocrites sometimes.

RE has numerous members constantly advocating for "naming and shaming" and mob justice, with RedMercury even advocating for mob justice explicitly using the term "mob justice" as a positive thing. They as a community have encouraged and fostered a culture that's a tip-toe away from what most people consider doxxing. So when an admin goes and doxxes someone without repercussion and the community celebrates the outcome of said doxxing (see the latest thread), it's safe to say it's a doxxing community, even if they don't allow normal users to regularly step over that line they're constantly kissing.

[Transhuman]

I read that thread as it happened as well... nobody was celebrating doxxing because multiple people were arguing that outting the dude wasn't doxxing.

Trying to figure out who runs a company's twitter account is grey area to me.

The fact the dude's father got a phone call is another story; that's doxxing for sure.

I thought that at first too, but standing back from it all, the guy was the focal point in a controversy that was covered by gaming media. Outing him had no journalistic value, it only served to make it easier for people to harass him in his private life.

If you want to talk about the hect thing.. talk about it.

That's not what you were talking about in the post I quoted.

I mean, clearly ERA doesn't fully endorse doxxing people. They ban people who shared information considered "doxxed" or any person actively "doxxing".

Also clearly, a lot of people who stomp their feet and say "ERA doxxes people!" are doing it not because they're so concerned about doxxing but because they want to catch ERA (as a whole) in some trap of hypocrisy and poison the well and invalidate anything that comes from the site. Also some want to be entertained and calling ERA a hate site is entertaining to them.

Buuut... the people who post on ERA do have a duality when it comes to this kind of thing. They gleefully celebrate getting "nazis" fired via doxxed information but quickly furrow their brows when a comic book movie director is fired for bad joke tweets, they maintain a thin veneer of civility while playing whack-a-mole with couch bound violent revolutionaries. The ideology of ERA encourages ever increasing expressions of disgust and hatred toward their chosen outgroup (REPUBLICANS!) and stops JUST SHORT of open advocations of mass extermination of that group... there is never any attempt to change the dynamic that's maintaining this bubbling brew. In a lot of ways it reminds me of other radicalization vectors across the internet.

So when people say "ERA doxxes people!" you know, as a person who uses the english language on a regular basis, that they aren't claiming ERA is a person who doxxes. They're claiming that ERA encourages doxxing through celebration of cause and affect, and only bans people who're stupid enough to break through the thin veneer of civility and stop winking at each other. When you start making excuses like "well they run a twitter PR account" or "the information was easily accessible!" or "they're a nazi" you're endorsing doxxing as a weapon that only you can wield.

yeah, there are like 39k most likely sane people on era, but they don't really matter. we are obvio talking about the handful of bat shit crazy people that post there, you know, the ones that get quoted here all the time. they set the tone* of the entire forum, made the staff their bitches and it's clearly them people mean when they say "Era is.."

And those crazy people were absolutely cheering on the doxing.

* it's a bit funny that "tone policing" is one of the various crimes against humanity they enforce, except when they do it (and they do it all the time)

I didn't say it isn't a gaming forum. I said they barely talk about the games. Most of the OTs I gave a look are straight up circle jerks. Patting each other on the back for buying "product" isn't my idea of talking about games.

Lots of other "gaming" threads devolve into people arguing about politics and cheap gotcha posts to get people banned. Great discussions.

Twitter and Reddit are big enough and diverse enough that you can't pin down a single culture.

RE has a culture, enforced by the mods. Of course there are individual variances within that culture, and other individuals that are merely among that culture without participating in it, but there is definitely a predominant culture there that is as marrec described.

Era actively fosters a community spirit of paranoid witch hunting, and they have done pretty much since their stupid fucking secret discord 'rescue groups' founding where you had to get your PM invites on the down low, because otherwise who knows WHAT kind of people might sign up to a videogame discussion forum.

Thats why all their purity tests and slickness checks, secret histories of histories, and side eyes about saying what you REALLY mean inevitably leads here, and a with us or against us, gobblegoobers under the bed everywhere, fuck everyone that aint us, they deserve what they get, because we're making omelettes and fuck all them egg motherfuckers mentality.

Of course there are individual variances within that culture (and the majority of the people posting there), and other individuals that are merely among that culture without participating in it, but there is definitely a predominant culture there that is as marrec described.

Vast majority of conversations are not a part of the culture you guys describe though.  I have 3k posts there in a year and never come across ANY of the people discussed in this thread.  Like I don't know who Red Mercury is for instance, not sure I've even read one of their posts outside of it being quoted here. 

Yes every single thread touching remotely on politics instantly is taken over by the "culture" you guys are describing.    It's worthy of a thread making fun of it.. a thread I participate in because there's some funny stuff in there.

Why is that attitude still encouraged today?
If someone wants to sign up to troll, they can.
Why is the default response to saying things like "we should wait on the facts" when a twitter J'Accuse occurs met with "hmm, seems suspicious someone wouldn't want to dogpile with the rest of us, whys your account set to private?

Lmao reddit boards are literally the fucking definition of echo chambers 

I'm guessing from the few grammatical errors in your posts so far that english is not your first language, so i'll state this as plainly as possible.

Reddit's users do not have similar ideologies or beliefs, and no ideologies are enforced. On a single reddit board however, the users might have very similar ideological stances, and can be grouped together as an ideological group. For instance one might say "r/redpill is filled with a bunch of sad mysogynists" but no-one would say that about reddit as a whole.

Resetera does share a common ideological standard. This is plain in the content that is discussed, as well as how the discussion is curated by moderation. I wouldn't say that it is shared by all users of the site, but colloquially when someone says "resetera is mysogynistic towards republican women" they're not saying all users engage in it, just that it happens, and that when it does it's allowed and rarely admonished.

Apparently you don't look down enough to understand why Era users were paranoid.

Okay, let's pretend that it was a totally valid matter of operational security and not a clever ruse to get some FOMO fermenting by making it seem like resetera was the hot new invite only secret members club.

Why is that attitude still encouraged today?
If someone wants to sign up to troll, they can.
Why is the default response to saying things like "we should wait on the facts" when a twitter J'Accuse occurs met with "hmm, seems suspicious someone wouldn't want to dogpile with the rest of us, whys your account set to private? How long have you been posting? What other threads have you not immediately jumped to conclusions in?"

Because there are like 3 forums obsessed over Era including Voat and fucking lolcow again. Also you can register on the site just fine. Even the Bore requires approval.

Actually, almost every community is obsessed about shit people say on places with opposite opinions. Era also loves to report on every "phobic" thing people are posting over Twitter, Reddit, etc. It's a fun activity to see insane people say shit. We have tons of subreddits for that.

stop engaging with this ratfuck bananas you donkeys

Only because you didn't ask nicely.

I like that kevin hart thread, because they're all trying to claim Hart is the same person he was ten years ago.

Fucking clownshoe era morons.

Is hecht an era?

If you want to talk about the hect thing.. talk about it.

That's not what you were talking about in the post I quoted.

I mean, clearly ERA doesn't fully endorse doxxing people. They ban people who shared information considered "doxxed" or any person actively "doxxing".

*snipped*

I don't disagree with any of this really. 

People still exagerate like crazy here; they do the same shit that some people from era do about Twitter or Reddit or any site w/ a mix of people.

Twitter and Reddit are big enough and diverse enough that you can't pin down a single culture.

RE has a culture, enforced by the mods. Of course there are individual variances within that culture, and other individuals that are merely among that culture without participating in it, but there is definitely a predominant culture there that is as marrec described.

Lmao reddit boards are literally the fucking definition of echo chambers 

I'm guessing from the few grammatical errors in your posts so far that english is not your first language, so i'll state this as plainly as possible.

Reddit's users do not have similar ideologies or beliefs, and no ideologies are enforced. On a single reddit board however, the users might have very similar ideological stances, and can be grouped together as an ideological group. For instance one might say "r/redpill is filled with a bunch of sad mysogynists" but no-one would say that about reddit as a whole.

Irrilevant because you discuss on the boards themselves. Reddit is a collection of boards and they are a bunch of echo chambers they make Era and this place look normal.

They have fucking upvotes for posts

Now just think if they reversed it and the outrage that would cause.

[PsychoBee]

Oh no why were these normal people afraid to get doxxed.  Shouldn't have tried to protect themselves because it makes me mad.

im not mad at all, i think its funny tbh

I joined era at launch too & was under no delusion i was at risk of being doxxed, bc i know that i'm an insignificant number & dont even register on most peoples radars- thats the majority of people

& I alr said why they were afraid to get doxxed above, a naive sense of self importance, the very idea that posting on a videogame message board suddenly makes you public enemy #1 is wild, literally no one cares that much about era, its just a gold mine for comedy bc of how reactionary and extra a lot of the more prominent members are

ultimately those people just wanted to feel important, they wanted to feel as if they were being persecuted and that they were notable enough to be targeted, but in reality unless u go out of ur way to stand out, most people on ur own forum at best will kinda recognize ur username/avatar combo, but people who only go there to find some of the stupid posts? theyll only recognize the ones who make themselves stand out and make themselves a target, & even then- if doxxing were to actually happen, it wouldve happened by now, its not like era is suddenly safe bc the site has been launched, but most people just dont care bc era isnt that important
