He did, if he did. But, its the chicago PD.

This is a good situation for waiting this one out. I mean, this is borderline missing half of your brain stupid. If he did this, we need his card back. I don't know of if the LGBTQ community does cards.. but yeah...

Its the Chicago PD. Thats my only reservation on condemning the dude until the dust clears.

I find it funny that even now there are people on RE being careful not to fully accuse him of wrong doing, in the very slim chance that somehow he was telling the truth.

Jussie: "I confess... I did it!"

RE: "Well... he says he did it... but maybe the Chicago PD forced the confession from him. I will wait until the court case before commenting"

When have they ever been even half as considerate with anyone else? Even to this day there are people on RE that believe the covington kids are entirely to blame. That despite there being an independent investigation that cleared them of any wrong doing. It's amazing.

[benjipwns]

Seriously, everything about Jussie says THROW HIM OVERBOARD AND SALT THE EARTH, not WAIT FOR THE VERDICT or CONTINUE THE WAR ON THE DOUBTERS. I mean, holy shit. This really is the stages of grief, I thought I was just being cheeky with a smartass line.

[agrajag]

He has become an embarassment to the black community, lgbt community, and the actual victims of violent hate crimes. This forum's moderation team shares the embarrassment because some posters were banned and silenced unrightfully on the basis of premature news and speculation.

It's all one big mess.
Yup 100%. My apologies to the posters I had a go out when this story was breaking. Not every skeptical individual is my enemy. I hope we all can learn from how this went down be better to each other about this type of thing in the future.

In 2007, my wife Amanda was raped. Bobby Roberts not knowing this, believed she willingly slept with a business partner of his friend to make drama. And he harassed her and she was banned from the forum we used to post at together.

I don't believe this, Bobby would never jump to extreme measures like this without finding out the facts first.

Those look great. We really need to start getting rid of those McMansions everywhere around. People should get used to living with less room so we can return more land to agriculture and nature. Each person should never have more than 1000 square feet per person.

i don't disagree in principle

but it is funny coming from someone who is (or thought about) living in a trump apartment and who travelled across the world together with a girl friend for whom they paid most expenses just to, after months of opulent simping, get laid with said "friend"

that's a lot of co2 just to test the sex tracking capability of your iWatch

    

Tabris annihilated and shot into the sun.

[benjipwns]

Does anyone think Bobby Roberts is too big not to release the name to exonerate himself?

no, no one thinks he is too big

[benjipwns]

I’m really glad in no point in this did he mention the fact that Bobby was brought up solely bc he was digging through my old tweets to find proof that I’m a liar that’s ON HIM

wow, DOXXING

I just don't believe Bobby Roberts is capable of overpowering anyone.

“Bacta” along with her male following – left MF ten years ago over feuding with a “Stacy3po” (a mexican male posing as a jewish college girl – who subsequently used his then (now ex-)wife’s identity which led to getting outed.)

 

[Jenkem]

I just don't believe Pretentious Hobo is capable of overpowering anyone.

You know how in Ninja movies or like the PS2 Shinobi or Vergil from Devil May Cry where they slash a bunch of dudes and then as soon as they put the sword back in the hilt the enemies instantly die? Bobby does something like that but with an adjustment of his kangol at just the right angle.

It's not going to wash Bobby. You know perfectly well that vague accusations become facts within your circle of friends. You going to have prove your not a rapist. That is probably an impossible task.

Most of this seems to be questioning whether he did anything other than cover up someone else's shit or something?

edit: nvrmnd, this is confusing...

edit 2: wait.. at the end it looks like the accuser is basically saying it was their "opinion" that b rob raped?  WTF?

I think the girl Maia is accusing him on behalf of some other unnamed person who may or may not exist but totally does exist because Bobby Roberts is 👏 a 👏 rapist 👏

#262 posts and nobody mentions him. 

[benjipwns]

Things that seemed unfathomable weeks ago are happening now: The deep-seated hubris of Louis C.K.’s “Woody Allen cosplay,” as our own Pretentious Hobo dubbed it, is under the scrutiny it deserves. The dam is breaking. It’s about fucking time.

Just put yourself in the shoes of a woman, coming home to your Portland apartment after a late night of work. You step past the doorway, close the door behind you, turn around and see... this.

There needs to be accountability from the press. They'll take unsubstantiated garbage from Twitter or other hearsay and conjecture and post it as truth, never bother fact checking, never bother with retractions. They don't acknowledge the harm they do to people and businesses on the wrong side of their irresponsible reporting. The field has become a circle jerk of self-righteous bottom feeding scum racing for first dibs on scandal clickbait.

Get 'er done, kid.

How do I get a ResetERA.com thread for this: https://www.out.com/news-opinion/2019/2/19/trumps-plan-decriminalize-homosexuality-old-racist-tactic

Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality Is an Old Racist Tactic

The truth is, this is part of an old colonialist handbook. In her essay, “Can the Subaltern Speak?” postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak coined the term “White men saving brown women from brown men” to describe the racist, paternalistic process by which colonizing powers would decry the way men in power treated oppressed groups, like women, to justify attacking them. Spivak was referencing the British colonial agenda in India. But Grennell’s attack might be a case of white men trying to save brown gay men from brown straight men, to the same end.

There are several signs that this decision is denoted in a colonial sense of paternalism rather than any true altruism. According to the report, the decriminalization campaign is set to begin in Berlin where LGBTQ+ activists from across Europe will meet to hatch a plan that is “mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean.”

That sentence alone should set off several alarm bells.

postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak

she was also hailed as a co-founder of postcolonial theory, which she refused to accept fully, as has been demonstrated in her book Critique of Postcolonial Reason: Towards a History of the Vanishing Present (1999), which suggests that so-called postcolonial theory should be considered from the point of view of who uses it in what interest

Just like that's the worst position to probably verafled someone as, let alone talk like they're part of a development team/industry culture.

So he was an insufferable ass even before GAF. Good to know.

[pgtl_10]

I like how PoliERA's Elite are basically admitting constantly that if a Trump-like scenario had occurred in 2016 with an independent outsider entering the party primaries and winning the nomination and the Presidency that they wouldn't necessarily support them. Despite all their constant lecturing about how you have to always support the Democrats no matter what or you support the Nazis.

 

Yeasss Queen!

[Occam]

Not to care post because  but I find nationality stripping horrendous and in this case pretty disgusting as it feels like pure cynical convenience from European governments to leave them stranded over there. Everyone should be entitled to a fair trial on clear, lawful, charges. Not necessarily at home but the few things I gathered from Iraqi justice and jailing conditions doesn't strike me as up to the sort of basic standard decency we claim to uphold. Does being the wife of a ISIS djihadist in itself a crime (provided the person hasn't commited any other illegal acts besides) ? Are their children guilty ? I'm not convinced and those should absolutely be repatriated if they are willing so, facing legal consequences if need be.

Of course it's not easy and convenient to manage radicals and I understand the purported security risk attached but I have a hard time believing a few hundreds people (which AFAIK is the total of all European prisoners currently in Irak's custody and being discussed recently) are above a threshold of "utterly unmanageable" on a continent whose recent history is littered with bitter wars.

It's right down the same alley as drone strikes. I don't think anyone should be cheerful that people can be stripped of their citizenship (and all protections they may entail) at the drop of a hat because your government feels like it.

Edit :

C O R E V A L U E S

She's getting her citizenship removed because she has Bangladeshi citizenship. As far as I know by law so long as it doesn't leave them stateless, then it's kosher to remove their citizenship. Why dump the cost of incarcerating her on the tax payer when you can dump it on Bangladesh instead? Sucks for them, but as the kids would say 'you snooze, you lose'. She is their problem now. 

My understanding is that she could be eligible for a Bengali passport but she does not possess that citizenship. Bangladesh doesn't want her either.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/20/rights-of-shamima-begums-son-not-affected-says-javid

I didn't touch on the whole international prohibition on rendering people stateless (I think citizenship stripping, especially in the manner the UK has allowed itself to enact it, is wrong regardless) but there's also that, yes.

Leaving anyone without citizenship is wrong. However, this cancer cell voluntarily left your body but now it wants back and you should let it because "human rights". I fail to see how this would be beneficial to the rest of society.
These aren't people who were forcibly conscripted to serve in the Waffen SS by an occupational force, they willfully betrayed their countries and the free societies they used to live in to join and support a murder cult outside of human civilization, with the goal of destroying said free societies. Given the chance, these people would have cut your head off.
The only place they should be allowed to go back to is prison for the remainder of their lives.

What a tangled web we weave. That was when that dork dribble Fatboy Roberts hung around here. He now posts on NeoGaf

[...]

One of the things I’ve noticed about these “authority” figures in fandom, is they love to broadcast how their DMs are open in instances such as these.  Of course they do.  On the one hand it makes them look magnanimous, as though they’re willing to listen and have a personal conversation with the little guy.  On the other hand, it helps to keep unwanted conversation out of the public eye.  It’s a win-win for them.

In any case, much ado about nothing still. Still no solid proof that Hobby Lobby did what they say he did.

[benjipwns]

What's worse?

The unrelenting aggressiveness of people like DigitalOP and excel,

or RedMercury's sniveling?

RedMecury is a well written character who constantly adds to his lore like having a wife suddenly or kids, all while being a totally apologetic white male, DigitalOp and incelsiorlef are too one note and refuse to develop character depth. Though Digital can sometimes rise above and produce something of real value. Incel just offers glorious typos or outright Engrish.

Is there a quantifiable way to actually see how much influence Era has? I can buy a lot of devs lurking, but actually taking legit feedback from them?

I'd say the journalist side of things are more in tune with Era, but even then, you got shit like trying to cancel Keighley for his friends when basically everyone on the advertising side of the industry is connected to him in some shape or form. And it's not like the journalist and dev sides have a total symbiotic relationship going on.

So, I'm in Beijing. However I am fucked. I know nobody here, my Chinese is limited and most people here don't speak English, my hotel time is up and I had to check out, I can't open a bank account because I didn't have an address, I can't pay the deposit because I don't have enough cash, my VPN doesn't work so I can't contact my family, I just want to go home now but I feel stranded. I don't know what to do!!

I was planning on improving my Chinese to the point that I'd know how to get to the airport. There was someone who was supposed to help me but I haven't seen her since the airport. I was also told at one point that I could play in credit via email but now they're saying I can't.
