Why do people think our forum is toxic
My feeling as well. If planes were in the air, then grounded, someone wants to start that war. That ambition hasn't been snuffed, there's going to be a conflict, this a country full of non-white people, I don't see how racist America could possibly NOT want to go to war to kill more non-humans.

I don't know what kind of porn they watch that incest is super common. My dudes at Brazzers do all sorts of ridiculous (yet oh so enjoyable) stuff, but never that.

QuoteDude, I get it, it's statistically accurate to say that a majority of white Americans voted for Trump. That most don't believe in reperations. But you just conflated that this women's opinions, reflect almost all white Americans. Which just isn't true. Do you have major statistics to back what you're saying up?How am i gonna have data for White People's private thoughts? You know how I know? Because vast amount of white people show this line of thinking as they verbalize their opinions....You can find any of those statements from the vast majority of white people. You don't have to literally say "We Won, You Lost, No Do-Overs". Thst's the damn mindset of White Privilege to begin with. Its what White People carry with them as they navigate day to day. Its the unspoken mentality thats obvious, only Inghram verbalized it.You can disagree, sure.... but lets not pretend.... Lets not pretend that White People don't know they're currently better off with their modern day position in society.

I'm in third year uni and I have a friend who is as well. At uni, he has his own social circle and interacts with them a lot. He also seems to keep a prescence online as he is part of a discord server which he invited me to and it seems he's known the people there for a bit. However, aside from me, him, his gf, and his other irl uni friend there, most of the people there are like in H.S 16-17 and there is one 18 year old but they are in H.S, not uni and there was even a 12 year old. So I was thinking it's a little odd for a uni student to be friends with HS people if you didn't like know them from before in H.S but the issue is, they're pretty much edgelords who throw around slurs and one guy is a vic stan and complains about forced diversity or some nonsense. Now, my friend doesn't hold these views as when I've been upset over the slurs in the old server he sided with me but the thing is, I feel like he's too passive with them as he did argue against the guy whining about forced diversity but then said 'he's not bigoted so I can take you seriously' and even though my friend is kickvic, about the vic stan, he just said 'let's not waste time arguing about something we don't know for sure'. So basically, I'm concerned that he's taking the opinions of edgy HS's seriously or being passive towards them because they're his 'friends' or he's known them for so long or whatever. Like one of his friend is literally pals with an alt-righter and while my friend has expressed disapproval, I feel he doesn't do much about it to persuade him to ditch this guy or something, which is an issue as the alt-right is indoctrinating youth.
Getting invited to a Discord server was the red flag.
Hi all,Are there any urologists here on Era I could talk to privately please? The sooner the better, I’d rather not post the trouble I’m having openly but I do need to talk to one privately pronto. Thank you.
That’s not what the problem is. Please, this isn’t a joke thread. I legitimately need to talk to one quickly.
I wonder why fanartists are so defensive about art they make of characters they don't even own. Like the artist in the op got angry because someone changed his art, but didnt he do the same with the design that GF made?
Not as disrespectful as altering the original design. The artists on gamefreak also put a lot of work on Nessa dsign to have them altering it.Also I am pretty sure most people that altered didn't do that to steal the artist's work, but to try to make they learn how to draw black characters better
Anyway the artist are still profitting from a character they don't own, at least they should try to be close the original design. And whitewashing isnt just a modification, it actively changes how the character is perceived by the fanbase
White Nessa isn’t fanart. It’s reimagining the character and making it white for it to fit standard perceptions of beauty for no real reason.
The situation seems to be getting worse instead of better. Asian Art Twitter is treating the backlash like it's a meme, it seems like the majority don't seem to care and several are actively poking the bear at this point.
Yeah they're outright making it a meme now. Sad.
I look forward to the day these people try to turn their art into a profession and this comes back to haunt as many of them as possible.
Bless Nintendo and Game Freak for getting a bunch of folks to show their asses.
Absolutely. This is something people spend hours staring at while constructing, and not one time having a thought that maybe its not a good idea.Where there's smoke there's fire more often than not with fan artists.
To be honest I don't see a lot of genuine "shaming" going on in Era. Most posters are rather sensible when it comes to subject like this.
The thing with right wingers is they are united in hating something. They rarely call each other out for "going too far." Left wingers are always critical of themselves and others. To understand our society is informed by hierarchies regarding race, gender, class, etc. means understanding everything reflects that and we must be aware of it always. That's not a fun mentality to be in and people on the fence are going to go to the guys who look like they're having a good time and want to protect free speech/expression.We're losing the culture war to right wingers. They are better at organizing, recruiting, and issuing propaganda. Liberalism has generally failed to address this productively besides pointing and laughing at right wingers and hoping they stop out of shame.
I always thought easy mode was so that people with disabilities can still play.

The whole reason Nazis are bad is because the violence they espouse may come to pass.
I don't know who I should be more frustrated with, the reactionaries who deliberately post these things or Twitter for allowing it. I tend to lean more towards the latter.
So, serious question, but could we literally do this with any book? Can I just take the count of Monte Cristo and start preaching he was a real man and that his teachings were about how only revenge can make you happy in the end or some other book and if enough people start listening it'll be a religion in the future?
Yes, but why not fill that need with something that actually makes sense and isn't made up?
Well, I'm still unemployed, so maybe it's time to make my own religion.
Because you end up believing what any schmuck that has a "great story" or way of life tells you.
I must confess that I've always hated whenever Tifa was compared to Lara Croft, as I always felt the latter was unquestionably designed and marketed around her polygonal pointy bits.I recently coined the phrase "fast food" when referring to characters like that, where they don't have much in the way of a deep personality and primarily exist to sell DLC costumes and import figurines. The ultimate example of this, imo, is Mai Shiranui. I'm not saying you can't legitimately like the character, I'm sure she's got lots of fans not driven by her sex appeal...but the sex appeal defines the character. There's not much to her beyond legacy bounciness, pulling out fans from her cleavage and desperately wanting to drain Andy dry like a succubus.Admittedly I never really played the old Tomb Raider games, so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that OG Lara had a bit more going for her. Nevertheless, I don't think I'm incorrect in saying that the sex appeal was always priority one when it came to the character. I did the biggest frown not too long ago when I saw Giant Bomb play the GBC game and learned that they actually added jiggle animations.Boob bouncing...on a Game Boy Color game.That's why I was legitimately shocked when I saw the rebooted design for Lara, and that it came from Square Enix of all companies. Say what you will about the overall execution, but I still applauded them for breaking what must have been the ultimate titty taboo among fanboys and even dared to focus on anything besides Lara's chest....which was still buxom but still within reasonable proportions!That's when I began looking at the Lara/Tifa comparisons with a hopeful eye, hoping that the day FFVII gets a Remake that they would give her a similar treatment. Because I've always viewed Tifa as one of the best written RPG characters, with the game giving her a multi-layered personality that's still revolutionary for the genre even today. And it was never about eliminating her sex appeal, just making sure that wasn't her primary attribute.And they succeeded well beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier.Now I just wish all the hashtags and clickbait sites would shut the fuck up about her ta-tas already.
Floored by how fucking viciously ugly shit got in Kinsei's thread even quicker than BAD's thread. It's astounding how some people can't fucking think straight when it comes to games. One moment they're praising Jim Sterling for rightfully calling out gross industry habits like financial exploitation and crunch and the next they're ripping into a poster genuinely trying to discuss how much homophobia is steeped in Japanese games. Too many ready to eviscerate anyone who wants to talk about serious issues beyond gameplay. So many people don't just want to plug their ears to the bigotry in the industry but rather outright fucking explode when it's even brought up. And fucking always those same people bring up how much they hate "outrage culture" and want games to stay "apolitical". Particularly funny in the Cyberpunk thread where people seriously tried to separate the genre from real world ideals and issues.We literally have an ignore function on this board for both threads and posters and they could easily block all the "SJW nonsense" they despise. Yet they go out of their way to emotionally attack anyone who dares bring up bigotry. This place is somewhat better than GAF but it really is a testament to how ubiquitous this internalized "anti-SJW" (aka. anti-empathy) mindset is in the gaming community. Kinsei might never come to this site again let alone this topic but if they ever do see this post, I hope they know that there are a lot of people here, including myself, who are sorry you had to deal with that inane bullshit from other posters. I hope that you found at least a few true allies on ERA that you'll follow beyond the site and vice versa; and I want to hear from you or anyone else here if you could stand one more ally.
About Kinsei's thread, I think this post sums up so well what's wrong with Era's reaction to it:I don't understand the point of this thread in general. Are you implying that by purchasing the Season Pass that you're supporting homophobic viewpoints? Because that's clearly not true. "Are you criticising me, specifically? If yes, fuck you; if not, I don't give a shit.". Every man for himself; zero interest for anything that concerns other people or collectives. "If you're not trying to guilt trip me, why are you bringing this to my attention at all?".
It's exhausting. Being on the Internet is exhausting. I guess most of the people nowadays do go to places like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, places I'm done with, places where even at their best it seems there's nothing to do but build your personal brand. It's exhausting going through decades of dogpiling to the point where whenever does speak up it's only out of a sense of grim necessity rather than an actual sense that one's beliefs matter to the majority of those who feel moved to speak. It's exhausting constantly trying to tell oneself that whatever one is going through is "not that bad".I hope that one day there will be a place on the Internet where women, by and large, are able to feel comfortable talking about things that affect them. Hasn't happened yet, though.
Kinsei left? Such a huge shame.I can totally understand why though, when you have people ignoring your issues and insulting you at the same it starts to be really frustrating.
I don't blame Kinsei for leaving, but I'm gonna miss her.And that's one less LGBT voice on this site, too.
Damn. She was one of those posters I'd stop to read when just skimming a thread.Good luck to her.
Wanted to give a shout out to Dauntless for it's inclusive character creator. The game doesn't start with a gender option. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a gender option at all. You start by choosing two ancestors, including two females or two males, and then use a slider to determine how many traits you'll inherit from each. Pretty neat.Great job Phoenix Labs!
Thank you. We transgender folx have been point out these facts for years. I enthusiastically support the mods' stance on this.

Edit: Apologies, I have some reading to do.
I'm honestly surprised how much they consider Tifa as a win considering how some exposed thighs in other games freaks them out. Saying that she got the similar treatment as Lara Croft doesn't make any sense either since Square has been adamantly against putting reboot Lara into anything that even remotely looks like her original outfit while Tifa is still quite close to it.
Wait, the whole "Crowbcat is a group of people and the individual involved in the racism got fired" doesn't actually have any proof and was just a random Era user who said it? WTF, I've given this channel clicks because I believed that story.I feel like this deserves a new thread, because there's no doubt plenty of people who took that story at face value.
Square are really schizophrenic in how they handle things, because you can see the clash between the different regional branches of Europe, Japan and America in how they handle things.So while they'll make a Hitman ad full of scantily clad fetishwear nuns from the Euro branch, and have big titty fanservice featured prominently in their biggest franchise from the Japan side of things, Square US (ie Crystal Dynamics) seemingly go to great lengths to make Laura Craft as pitiful, broken and unsexy to people not into torture porn and broken people as possible.

She's still got pretty fat honkers, she still shows more or less the same. She simply looks more realistic, like every other character in the game. I don't know why some people thought she'd look like a stripper with giant fake tits like 4chan would want, or a completely covered up flattie like Resetera would want.Also there's nothing wrong with fanservice characters. The problem is when that's the only kind of female character, but there's nothing inherently wrong with designing characters who are mostly focused on sex appeal (men and women both).

t's because baseline female sex hormone levels are a massive disadvantage to someone competing in male sports.
Unrelated to BenjiReset:Who was the guy who wanted to become a meme on neogaf? He would post reaction gifs and pics of himself, I wonder if he has made it as a meme yet.
