You have been banned for the following reason: User Banned (1 Month): Downplaying Hate Speech; History of Trolling Sensitive Discussions. Your ban will be lifted on Apr 15, 2019 at 9:00 AM.

I am apparently downplaying hate speech for defending PDPs involvement in murder. 

Fuck you era mods.

This is what these types of people live for.

They want incidents like this so they can equate words to violence. So they can control what people say.

[benjipwns]

lol it's so easy to get someone banned right now, let's fire up the marrec account and bring down pogi and atebitenick for talking back to me

[VomKriege]

And still nothing will be done about him cause he brings money, pathetic. Like how Nickelodeon was supposedly gonna drop thq.

Nickolodeon dropping THQn was only something people on ERA wished for, not something that was actually reported as potentially happening, wasn't it ?

When you say they are linked to the shootings, does this mean supporting them or outright orchestrating them?

at the fact this is even being asked

[BisMarckie]

Can I still watch Jeff Gerstmann play Atari 2600 games on youtube?
Or will that make me complicit?

This is beyond infuriating. Both of these massive pieces of shit need to be removed from youtube today. They're up to their necks in promoting and creating online hatred.

[benjipwns]

Deplatform, Debunk, and Deride these fucks. Don’t give them the satisfaction of acknowledging their malformed trash tier ideology as worth an autopsy.

[benjipwns]

I think it's not up to the public, in the same way it's not up to the public to fight other domestic threats. These are not angry forum posters, these are criminal groups. It's not about developing strategies to defeat incels or regressive nerds in online debates, it's about jailing people before they hurt others.

The authorities absolutely need to make this a priority.

[benjipwns]

Goddamn sad when the POTUS makes a statement acting like he cares when you know he doesn't.

yeah, reminds me of that time Obama joked about murdering Americans without trial, which he actually did twice

We need to regulate these content providers the same way we regulate cable channel broadcasts. It's god damn time

not at all? okay, i'm on board with that

He's, at best, something that some people call "alt light", people like Sargon of Akkad, who are gateway drugs and push their audience towards the real fascists

Here’s the thing. I am no longer interested in whether or not Pewdiepie is a good person or whether or not he means the things he says, whether or not he’s just being an edgelord for “teh lulz” and to pander to his audience, I don’t give a shit about any of that anymore. As much as Pewdiepie might like, this isn’t about him as much as it is about his inability.

When you have a platform that’s 80 million people big, you have a responsibility as to how you exercise it. 80 million people is more people than the population of most countries on the planet! You need to understand that your intent doesn’t matter and be cognizant of just how much what you say or do can be construed in ugly directions by someone among those 80 million either way. In ordinary circumstances, someone will make mistakes, of course they will, but they will learn from those mistakes and become better. Pewdiepie, whether out of intention or “just a mistake”, has not done that. He has repeatedly stoked a certain kind of audience and rhetoric, and either he’s doing this on purpose or he’s doing this because he has no fucking idea about just how big is audience and his reach is, just how much of an influence he can have on the world. In either case, that makes him dangerous- you won’t hand a gun to a person with psychopathic tendencies, but you also won’t hand it to someone who doesn’t know how to use one. It’s dangerous in either case.

I'm bothered by how era still hasn't changed this title to properly refer to it as a terrorist attack.

Also, fuck Kanye West. The amount of harm he’s probably caused by giving Candace Owens a platform is fucked. He’s an irredeemable terrorist enabler as well.

For someone that was supposedly going to be thrown out on the streets by his Trump loving father and then killed by death squads, this guy is awfully resilient.  Maybe the user name should be Just_a_Cockroach.

[benjipwns]

I'm out of words after this attack...

THQN really should donate to the victims or show empathy in another meaningful (!) way to the victims of this shooting. They are indirectly involved in this shooting, and they should take that responsibility.

[benjipwns]

Enough of these shitty games. At this point, any signal boosting of THQ is also signal boosting the events that transpire and the site associated with it. Nah, I already have to live with the fact that THQ normalized a site that is linked to child porn and likely increased the chance of more people getting access to the sick media of me getting raped. This here, they gave 8chan more traffic, more visibility, so I will not be surprised if there's more people that stuck around after the AMA and are becoming radicalized as we speak. That's the consequences that this little shit show caused, and they need to be punished for it.

All I ask for is the heads of those responsible for the AMA served to me on a platter with a side of fries and coleslaw, and by that I mean, I just want those responsible fired and shunned from this industry. I already have to live with the reality that there is child pornography of me floating around the dark net, now I have to live with the reality that a video game company signal boosted a site that's known to link child porn. What I'm asking for is for the company to take some damn responsibility, that's it. Not a half- hearted apology, not a vague promise of an investigation, not putting this under a run, but actual steps to fixing this shit.

ResetERAs radicalization of the youth continues

[benjipwns]

DigitalOp gets into the library to let us know WHAT REALLY MATTERS:

It's absolutely incredible that Fuckhead YouTubers can joke about White Supremacy and Antisemitism, AltRight talk heads can virtually spout hate speech about non white demo groups.....

And all this rhetoric and actions can never be tied to inciting and inspiring the violence of the people who follow and listen to them.....

For some magically reason, they have to be separated with no connection whatsoever....


But Jussie Smollett lies about a hate crime and somehow his personal actions have to "blanket and stain the entire black and gay community".....


Whiteness will do a 720 backflip to never hold itself accountable. White People can never do anything wrong. It's everyone else who is causing so much hatred and division. Clearly.

[benjipwns]

Yeah, it's very simple. If *any* percentage of your audience are nazis then you need to be asking questions about yourself and what you're creating

wow, ResetERA.com is in some serious trouble

[benjipwns]

The rhetoric that the shooter believed in can be found all over the site with a cursory glance, THQ knew what the site stood for, they knew before hand what they were getting themselves into. Their actions caused 8chan to get more publicity, more traffic, and likely more followers, they have to accept that there is a chance they increased the likelihood of more people being exposed to radical beliefs and with it a chance that these people might become terrorists.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I don't see how people like this don't see the obvious flaw in their logic;  do they want Jussie's actions to stain the entire black community or not? 

Because that's what is unfair; Jussie should not represent black people, and this guy should not represent white people.  He should represent a certain brand of white people, white supremecists.. and they are fucking scary, and do need to be watched/we should focus on eradicating this kind of hatred.  I don't know many white people who would disagree with that.

Same for when they want the book thrown at a white first offender;   I do get where the anger comes from and I do understand it, I don't hate them for it... but I don't find it constructive.

Nobody with a rational viewpoint would consider a man faking a hatecrime to advance their career or a man shooting up a place of religious worship "representative" of anyone in particular

[benjipwns]

I'm presently boycotting all games that THQ Nordic and Deep Silver publish on Steam. I am also tentatively boycotting certain Microsoft games on Steam on the grounds that THQ Nordic was apparently involved in bringing those games to Steam in some capacity and published the retail versions of those ports.

Also note that Origin Access and Gamepass have THQN games on them so I cancelled my subs until they remove them.

Likewise, I'm cancelling my Humble Monthly subscription on similar grounds after the April bundle is fully revealed (the subscription was paid for over a year ago, so THQ Nordic have had my money).

[marrec]

These motherfuckers are so fucking dumb I can't with them today.

[Akala]

I don't really understand some of the things people are taking away from this. these people are broken.

[benjipwns]

Anyone involved with this stunt needs to go. From top to bottom. To me that's the ultimate goal here. I originally didn't not think a boycott was necessarily justified but a boycott meant to pressure them to fire those involved to me makes sense. Any of the devs under the THQNordic banner also have the responsibility to pressure them as well. The amount of lives and livelihoods this is affecting is drastic and the choices of a few are not affecting a great deal.

I agree, but I also don't think he is capable of the self reflection necessary to show and affect actual change, if he was, we would never have reached this point. At that juncture my primary and overriding concern is to minimize any further damage this man might cause.

Sadly, I think you are right. This should be the priority right now.

PEW DIE PIE

[benjipwns]

Just because PDP doesn't join neonazi protests doesn't mean he wouldn't side with the nazis when they take the power - as of now he never even denied he is one.

People who won't even take a stand against Nazis are Nazis themselves and they know it and they don't care. Nazifascism is inside all of us and comes out when we start being sociopathic pieces of shit to each other only interested in ourselves.

yikes

I'm sure it's been said here in this thread at this point, but PewDiePie (god that fucking name) is a hero to hate groups because he achieved fame while utilizing modern hate group tactics, which is to hide it in plain sight using internet humor and trolling. He is using their playbook and showing the world that it can be used to great effect while avoiding accountability.

It still blows my mind that at some point this dude was just a guy sitting at his PC with his bubbly girlfriend screaming to slenderman on twitch and now he's promoting hate and contributing to mass shootings.

Of all the news I was expecting to read this morning, I never thought that a horrible terrorist attack would be linked somehow with PewDiePie. But that's the unchecked meme culture for you.

I've seen people comment in here about the "secrecy" of those game sales number being an anomaly but really we barely know jack shit of what matters for films.
