I straight up cant get back into the internet after my one week extravaganza where my phone was unjustly ripped from my hands for a wild ride

But people are happy about her misfortune.

Yes they are. I still wonder the reason for hiding the number of supporters/money, but I imagine it has to do with people gathering the stats to prove a point of this whole allegation being in the perfect declining moment of her patreon and linking it all together. But that's like a very stupid move if your problem was with already visible information. Now they can do videos about it and enjoy seeing "they were right"

[Boredfrom]

But people are happy about her misfortune.

Yes they are.

 

trolling to create this false impression so people dogpile and are happy about her misfortune.

Create the false impression that her patreon is drying up and she won't be able to pay rent... You seem to have me on your sights lol. the "this" refers to the made up situation, not about the second part of the sentence.

Leave me alone!

[Boredfrom]

I’m just fucking annoyed of you guys posting paranoid rants and telling idiots to “kill themselves”.

[Uncle]

wait is graphtreon not accurate?

it shows that throughout this whole thing she lost 1 patron and a little bit of money?

what.

I guess it's semi-accurate. The only notable thing that happened is that she hid the backer count/money, so that troll took advantage and made up a story. And I fell for it because I browsed GAF through a link



i'm stupid.

Is nice to be able to openly shit on Zoe Quinn, but let’s not pretend the thread has not becoming pretty distinguished mentally-challenged, at least way more than normal.

[Uncle]

yeah there sure are a lot of death threats in here, lots of people wishing violence on Zoe it's immensely frustrating and disappointing the mods aren't doing more to shut down that kind of rhetoric

[benjipwns]

We can blame reset for many things, but I think boogie eating his way to death was on its way before those crazy people

woah way to get my hopes up

[Transhuman]

Honestly, the people supporting her are such zealots that she might actually get more subscriptions after provoking Holowka's suicide. It's not like that is a dealbreaker to these kinds of people.

[Potato]

Seriously Boredforum, you are pissed off that I quoted a known cunt's own words and directed them back at her?

[benjipwns]

Also Relix is no longer making those threads. RIP.

Relix (virgin tight™) made a post about how they were done with ResetERA.com over one of the forum's temper tantrums, totally don't remember which though sorry.

[benjipwns]

I totally didn't read like half the posts on the last two pages, what are you Joker haters arguing about, just go kill yourself already.

User Banned (3 days): Hostility in a sensitive thread

Fuck off with this shit. Finding dumbass crap like this unfunny or cringeworthy doesn’t mean someone is homophobic or anti-LGBT. Put the fucking pitchforks down.

lol wtf how is this a sensitive thread

This thread seems to have been made without knowing the full context and does not seem to be generating good discussion. As such we are locking it.

[benjipwns]

if a gay person tells you you’re being homophobic, try listening to them instead of telling them to shut up.

as others have already mentioned, these attitudes killed popgaf and have driven away a lot of lgbt people from both the old site and this one.

I'm not really surprised by some of the replies in this thread, some people really hate LGBT online culture. It killed popgaf back in the day and popera never really live here, because of that.

bye.

When people throw insults at others because they’re using slang or lingo specific to that community, it’s incredibly homophobic. At the very least diet homophobia.

I truly hope you don’t call yourself an ally with that shit.

This. I really don't think it's that difficult. Even if it's humor you don't care for, there's really no reason to go saying "Fuck this, kill this, etc." when you can just ignore it.

If it was some alt-right "meme" or something, then yeah I would totally understand hating against it.

Full disclosure I'm a straight male so if I said anything stupid please call me out on it.

[Boredfrom]

Who the fuck cares about PopGaf?

for real though sksksksksk = keyboard smashing that gays do

kys

[benjipwns]

So I’ve done the sksksk laugh for a while now and always called it “sissing” (a term I got from Trandoshan laughter in the Star Wars EU books, but I digress). I have a pretty loud and distinctive laugh when I find something genuinely funny, so the sksksk was for moments when I found something funny-ish but not laugh-out-loud. I had no idea it was a thing at all, or from LGBTQ+ culture.

no stop

[benjipwns]

I try not to care, but the fact that we have such heteronormative dominated discussions has SERIOUSLY hurt the potential of Female and LGBTQ+ communities that could have grown here.

And this thread is a reminder of it—it’s like talking to a fxcking wall. But pull out Simpsons/Wrestling/Seinfeld and it’s somehow comedy genius.

Clearly, the ONE thing we need more of is another Marvel or Star Wars thread.

But queer humor? Gross! Kill it with Fire! Annoying!

It’s exhausting. Because people say they accept you. They say they are supportive. But then when you show them who you are, suddenly it’s too much, too annoying. They don’t understand. They don’t want to understand.

Lol, who the fuck unironically calls themselves "an ally"?


These people are weird and don't live in the real world.

[benjipwns]

bad "queer humor" not being liked by others is why I stopped sending dick pics to people unsolicited

[benjipwns]

don't call yourself an ally if you don't like every thread shitted up with bad gifs of tv shows

Maybe, just maybe, people go to a video game forum to talk about fucking video games and other nerd topics like Star Wars and Marvel movies and would rather not have every single discussion about every single topic turn into a discussion about LGBT rights.

Or maybe, just maybe, some of the cliquey language that the LGBT community uses actually is exclusive and annoying and maybe you should consider not using it in general conversation where people aren't familiar with the meaning. It's just common fucking courtesy to not use expressions or jargon that excludes other people from a conversation, but you fucking REEEseterans wouldn't know what common fucking courtesy was if it hit you in the face.

[benjipwns]

they don't even want the topics to be about LGBT rights or anything like that, they just want to spam memes from Twitter without other people complaining about it and are using the language the forum is seeped in to try and shame people into not voicing that it's stupid

it's not even a LGBT community thing, it's just a certain segment of idiots, just like not everyone in the gaming community is posting GAMERS RISE UP and not every U.S. Marine is trying to street race Congresswoman Brianna Wu only Jace Connors

[Uncle]

[benjipwns]

this dude is totally nuts, I love him

Using age as a reason why you’re not familiar with culture doesn’t really work. I side eye when I see people use that excuse with music as well.

The queer communities don’t feel as welcomed on Era because of specific shit thrown at them that carried over from the old place. It’s very evident in the amount of traffic those threads see now. People don’t feel welcomed because of small things like giving others shit about the sub community they belong to or the slang they use. It has had a real world affect and I’m sorry your privilege doesn’t let you see that.

But oh well, I guess we needed another dumb thread about how immoral it is to have any sort of sexual relationship with someone below 18 because this is what the law in your country says. Man-made morality.

Ah, I'm sure this will lead to a debate on deontological ethics and not at all a bunch of hair splitting about ages.

Replies in that tweet are crazy.

Imagine being upset that people use “you guys”?

Like it’s either that or y’all and if you’re   north of Richmond, you’re getting you guys.

[Transhuman]

I remember on resetera they got mad because I said transgendered but here Natalie is saying "transes" and she's supposed to be their slay queen or whatever.

[kingv]

I feel like if you say it in a Gollum voice you’re square.

“I want to fuck transesssss!”

[benjipwns]

it's almost like the goal is actually a constantly moving target that exists only to use against people rather than help establish a concrete yet inclusive language

The Importance of Work Ethic
I want to take a second to talk about work ethic.

I am very smart.

I heard that a lot growing up. I would place in the high 90th percentiles in IQ tests. I could read at a college level by the 4th grade. I did AP classes all the way up to middle school. Things came to me very easily.

‘Gifted’ was the term.

I’m not telling you this to brag about it. Instead, I’m telling you this to show how it adversely affected me later in life.

Yeah, Yaniv screwed up with the whole being a huge racist thing.

It's 2019, you must bond with girls of all races having their first period on a ferry ride and needing comfort from a transwoman known for garbage IT product reviews.

[Lonewulfeus]

The problem with Era specifically is that in an attempt to prove how woke they are, people often argue against points you never even brought up. They want an argument, not a discussion.

More than once I’ve posted something and gotten a reply from someone arguing against shit I never even said because rather than engaging in an actual discussion, people on here just want to argue and prove how right they are and how wrong you are if you don’t share every single one of their beliefs.

I always have and still do believe that I’m an extremely liberal and left leaning person but honestly this site just exhausts me and embarrasses me sometimes. It’s full of hypocrites who just want any excuse to “cancel” another human being who doesn’t live up to the impossibly perfect standards they’ve set.

I’ve really grown to dislike this site over time. People here rag on NeoGaf, and while I’d never post there again, at least there simply having an opinion isn’t enough to get you banned. The moderation here is terrible, you can catch a ban for simply not being liberal enough, and as a liberal, that’s some bullshit. You’re not liberal at all if you feel the need to ban and exile everyone who shares an opinion you don’t agree with.

He’s 100% right, so naturally he was banned for inflammatory generalizations

[benjipwns]

Is there a way to stop this though? I feel like acknowledging the issue isn't enough. The situation is going to keep getting worse. Maybe we should brainstorm and propose forum-wide policies to the administration?

My idea, have a elected Community Council, similar to what Sufficient Velocity has, where elected users discuss things like this with the staff, and can push for reductions/removal of bans.

It's going to take accepting input from outside the mods, and perhaps some public criticism of practices.

yikes, inflammatory attacks on staff and misrepresentation

[benjipwns]

This place is fantastic for game discussion but as a general rule I will never post about anything even remotely political here because frankly it’s not worth the bother. I will say one shitty thing I’ve noticed is people in threads saying things like “...says the troll with only 80 posts. Nice alt account, troll.”

Like really? I’ve been here for months and I barely have like 60 posts because I try to think and write carefully and contribute to the convo, but there are plenty of people who would completely dismiss me because of it. It’s the worst kind of gatekeeping.

It's really horrible. Just like the "junior member" hate people used to engage in on GAF a long time ago. As if you need to have made a certain number of shitposts to get your count up before you can be considered not a troll.

This is against our posting guidelines and something we do moderate, if you see posts like this, kindly report them.

okay, "post count shaming" is back

[benjipwns]

Just add certain users to ignore and it becomes simpler.

You can't add mods to ignore, and that's an issue.
