The best part is RedMercury in that thread.

Do you want to talk?

Wait, you might be a racist. Bye!

Oh I actually read the whole post, you can change the world, don't go.

Hot damn, and reeee thinks they are the good guys. The ones that gleefully await your suicide because of an uneducated kneejerk reaction (even if you're already inside their bubble). And it's everyone else who is dangerous, with those toxic Al Bundy jokes and dangerous niche games that might feature a bikini babe instead of a token minority. 

[Bananas]

I've never read or heard of someone saying "the reason you're depressed is because of <insert minority group here>".

Oh so, you never heard of Incel or /r9k/?
 
"Women won't fuck me so they are all tooths who would rather fuck Jamal instead of me."

Or really, they just blame the jews in general for everything.

But you are right, the amount of cries for help on oldGaf or Era is more likely a result of the volume of users combined with the large visibility of the forum. If people are going to make a cry for help, they're going to make it to as large an audience as possible.

Left wing encourages getting help for mental illness and not being ashamed of it. Right wings communities like Voat, /v/ and r/Incel tend to foster it and and discourage getting help. They are also way more insular and don't have 4 forums stalking their users to make "points".

Incel forums literally tell people to not get help, because it's useless.

In short, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

But Averon is right as well, Era draws people with a particular mindset, and if you took a random sampling of era users and asked them if they identified as being depressed, I can't imagine that the sample rate would be in line with the national average.

Average compared to what?

And what's the final argument here? People don't magically get depressed. They often do it because of circumstances in real life. Of course I don't expect people who spend their life laughing at those people to try to emphasize with them.

4chan and Reddit are also much more random, compared to say looking up 'OH GOD THIS IS OFFENSIVE' videos on YouTube. As it will just recommend you more of such videos.

Bullshit. Places like /pol/ made a whole identity at being offended at the existence of gay people are black people. The only difference is that you think it's normal and acceptable.  You laugh at Era while the whole conservative Internet throws a fit over Far Cry having two black girls on the cover until they find out they are villains, then they are OK with it.

[VomKriege]

Dear Santa, in 2019 please bring us better trolls.

[Nintex]

I've never seen this 'whole conservative internet'. It is as imaginary as the WMD's hidden in Iraq.

/pol/ has a variety of disturbed people, trolls and internet garbage.
There's as many racist and anti-semetic shit as there's posts about restoring the Habsburg Royalty or Communist Indo-China.

Also getting worked up about women in Battlefield V or the cover of Far Cry is as dumb as being mad about not enough people picking the female character in the latest Assassins Creed.
There's really no point in taking sides in this even though I know many people feel the need to.

It's pretty dumb to say that I find it normal that they hate black and/or gay people. I've always supported both groups with my actions rather than internet virtue signaling.
However I don't claim to be a know-it-all on the subject of what offends an entire group of people today. Nor can I claim that all Redditors are Nazi's simply by posting on Reddit.

I've always detested the term normal. In my book no one is normal, we're all different individuals.
I do say this. The internet used to be a much nicer place to hang out before everything had to be about identity and politics.


Now you do you and stare angrily at this screen. While I play some racist Smash Bros. and prepare a nice Christmas dinner.

Listen bananabread, normally i'd respond to each part of your post and explain why you are wrong, but it's not like you'd be sane enough to learn from it, so I won't.

Incel forums literally tell people to not get help, because it's useless.

In short, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

I guess you'd be the expert, since you're constantly on incel forums...

Personally, I spent quite a bit of time in the DepressionGaf irc (run by Bagels, one of the nicest people i've ever met), so the nature of depression is a subject i've ruminated on quite a bit through necessity.

/pol/ literally tried to murder black people in real life. Don't try to pretend /pol/ is  a melting pot of different opinions, they are a neo-nazi board through and through that constantly debates how to get rid of the jews and LGBT people or how blacks are inferior.

Listen bananabread, normally i'd respond to each part of your post and explain why you are wrong, but it's not like you'd be sane enough to learn from it, so I won't.

More like you don't know how to respond because you know you are wrong. Your entire argument lacks substance because you simply don't know a lot of about the Internet and base your entire personality in reaction to Gaf/Era.

Maybe this is just me being insensitive, but how is it "clearly trans"? The image looks like a woman in an ice queen costume.

Or is it the first dress-like skin period, and that's it?

Her build?

 

A lot of people in the thread are saying "she looks like a man, therefore trans." Isn't that problematic? Deadnaming? Etc. Is it ok to say that trans women look like men on Era in the name of progress now?

Jewish people, at least in the US, do have a disproportionate amount of wealth. People in the black community admire that. We want OUR community to reach that point. How do we do that? We study their infrastructures and familial relations and try to emulate it. We can’t do that if we just ignore the fact that they got money. Otherwise, we’ll just be stuck here forever.

User Banned (1 Week): Transphobia

Could you elaborate on how this is an LGBTQ-friendly skin, OP?

Looks like a man.

A skin is a trans icon because it looks mannish?  Trans people don't get to celebrate feeling fully like a woman, instead are tossed the table scraps of not-quite-passing?  Since when is it the intent for everyone to know you're trans with a glance?

I’m apart of the LGBTQIA+ community and I’m not really seeing the connection here.

Maybe if you WERE a part of the community you'd see it 

I’m confused. So far this reminds me of people celebrating Tom Holland’s Spider-Man as trans.

i'm confused how this skin is championing me as a skin derived of a white cishet woman

I think assuming a skin is trans seems kind of problematic.

Yet another cry for help/suicide thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-wanna-go.89313/

GAF and now ERA attract so many mentally unwell users, which is why I always hated how they gleefully advocate cutting off support networks (friends, family) if people in those networks don't align politically with them perfectly. That friend from high school you ghosted because you found out he voted GOP could be the one to talk you off from the brink.

Yeah, as oppose to places like Reddit, Voat or 4chan which totally doesn't have people mentally unwell. The difference is that ERA/Gaf tells these people to get help, instead of fostering their mental illness and telling them it's the jews/blacks/gays' fault and Q and Trump are going to help them. Your narrative is fucking nidicolous.

Once again you are talking out of your ass and make no fucking sense...  If someone made a thread on 4chan saying they were going to kill themselves the majority of responses would also be applicable to you--"do it, taco"

Also not sure how 4chan or reddit act refutes the notion that ERA fosters the mental illness of others by constantly blaming every problem they face on nazis, gamergators, the alt right, or pewdiepie. I guess this is one of those WHATABOUTISMS you guys like to call out constantly, huh?
