I guess they think they can't afford to chase away any more "insiders" and "personalities." ResetERA is desperate to be as big and as influencial as GAF was at its height.
Imagine thinking professional video game personalities have anything to say worth listening to.
One of the things that kind of says 'white privilege' to me is when white people (I'm a white person) think they should have the benefit of the doubt on something because they've made their position clear in the past. Thinking they have the benefit of the doubt on such issues, is a bit of a trap I see generally good people walk into. Obviously if you're familiar with previous statements by the person you'll not question their motive, but audiences are constantly in flux, and it's something we all need to be constantly aware of.

Good to know that for once freedom of speech doesn't only apply to fascists
Quote from: LuisGarcia, post: 20368836, member: 28378I really think the Greg bashing in this thread is way overboard. He always comes across as one of the good guys and having listed to this I think his biggest flaw is not being more forceful with his opinions. He is constantly shut down by Andrea and then just kind of follows along.Andrea deserves it though and is clear from this that her views are not far from the people in question."Not wanting to rock the boat" gives the scumbags free reign to do whatever.And it's not like Greg is an irrelevant nobody. He's has his own show. He can stay minds. He should know the responsibility of not letting toxic views view.If he's gonna be this spineless, he really doesn't deserve his show.

That's been Reee (and even GAF's) modus operandi for a while. The mods themselves usually won't ban an insider (though they have when said insider says something they find really outrageous), but they do allow their mental patients to grind that person into the ground until that person just quits interacting with the place at all. Though the rule of "never talk bad about gaming media" seems to be an attempt to change that somewhat.
Because youtube?
Bullies like these all think they're so funny.That's their laughter ringing throughout the first video right?Haaaahhhhh deep breaths, deep breaths.

I'll say it again. They really take any chance they can to rage against a woman, huh?State sanctioned misogyny. It's like The Purge for lonely Sonic fans.
The fact is, this is Bigger then just Videogames. Stop defending their Ambivalent behaviour, and hold them to a higher standard. People in their position set a Dangerous Precedent treating people enabling shootings like PewDiePie with kids gloves, and they should be politely and consistently held responsible until they are aware of the Responsibility they hold in their position.
If they Double Down, and are unwilling to see their behaviour as unacceptable, You only owe it to yourself for providing a tiny piece of the shield that lets them think that way
Is this generated by a bot or something?
I just want to know why people were treating pewdiepie to some kids gloves.
+1. Very eloquently put.
Is there a black alternative to the amount of content people like Kinda Funny, EZA, and Giant Bomb put out?

I'm shocked that a close friend of Colin Moriarty is an idiot about social issues.
Notice they didn't ask for a latinx alternative. racists.

This is the kind of power that YouTube has granted these monsters. And no one is doing anything about it. Even good companies like Disney continue to use and signal boost YouTube.
“I'm just worried that if ResetERA spurns every single media outlet (justified or not), nobody will listen to them anymore and the entire gaming community will go hard right. That is what I'm most afraid of.”

Sigourney Weaver was giving the white power salute at an event centered around Disney property Alien™. We may have to boycott them in between Marvel movies.
Y’all should stop putting so much stock in people just cause they like the same games you like.
I'm surprised Greg didn't take the liberal PC out like his over-reaction to Colin's joke.
Why did the Netflix storyboard artist feel the need to get verified?
Disappointing to see the same mod post as last time copy and pasted, despite it being significantly misleading.
t was a very limited study (it involved 8 people), with very limited conclusions that don't justify this:
It's a mod ruling. Deal with it
I think it has more to do with sharing the same skin colour.

I have no informed comment on this complex and sensitive matter to give, other than that I feel immense sympathy for Semenya.It's awful that an athlete of her caliber is having to contend with this just to be able to continue to compete at an elite level.
