Good lord I kept thinking about the topic he brings up at 39:07 throughout the entire "How Gabe escaped" section.I absolutely feel that way about GAF/ResetERA. Its frustrates me that I feel this community once was a place you could bring someone on the edge (looking to escape) to converse. But in the past few years its instead become the last place you would want to bring that person because its become far more harsh, unwilling to discuss or usher someone into an idea, instead opting to just gang up and pile onto someone who isn't 100% in lock step with everyone else. That sort of thing could push away people looking to convert easily.But the video also flat out points out that lefty places just may not be a decent place at all to bring people like that, because of those reasons. Really wish we could have gotten some examples of good places to bring those folks in the video. Its hard to know where they are if you aren't personally familiar with them.Really great video.
Really? I honestly don't think Gaf or Resetera was ever one of those places. If anything, this is a safe space for leftist people and anyone who displays gaslighting or alt-right viewpoints tends to get put on the chopping block pretty quick, and it's been that way since....well, since atleast 2016.And I'm fine with that. There should be a safe space for people who are looking to come back into the fold of humanity, maybe there should even be a thread on this site dedicated to just that, but the Gabe's of the world are not nearly so prosecuted as, say, LGBT folk, so their comfort kind of comes first here.
Quote from: DooberYeah, I somewhat understand why it seems that way but Era as a whole definitely scorns the idea that it has any responsibility (for lack of a better word) to pull Gabes back. Stage 1 Gabe gets thrown in the same garbage can as full-on nazi Gabe.Lets be 1000% clear here:Era doesn't have any responsibility to pull Gabes back. None.Nobody here is responsible for any another person's personal descent into nazi-ism.If you want to say that there should be a place where Gabe's can commune with Era members so that they get the help they need, yeah, fine, maybe we should have a thread doing that, where the rules of moderation are loosened there and only there so as to let people get the help they need. I wouldn't oppose that.BUTDo not for one second frame this as our (as community) responsibility to do so. I want that particular argument nipped at the bud right now.

There are many people of color and people who are LGBT+ on this board. A large portion of them do not feel like they should be held responsible for coddling people who are "recovering Nazis". And it would be irresponsible of us to ask marginalized people to hold their tongue in response to hate. It's not on the shoulders of communities like ours to be their therapist. People like Gabe need to interact with individuals who accept that responsibility, not entire communities. Really, what they need is professional counseling.
There are several nonwhite, nonmale, nonstraight, noncis members on this board. It is not our duty to ruin our mental well being to coddle an almost Nazi from being a full on Nazi.If Gabe runs to the Nazis because a bunch of people were mad at him, that says more about his self centered immaturity.
Quote from: Rendering...Yeah, it's a real problem. You can see how fence sitters could be seduced by the right's welcoming front. It's a plain fact that you catch more bees with honey than vinegar.No one's obligated to humor trolls or be nice to proto-Nazis, but, you know, there are consequences to rejecting any possibility of earnest dialogue with misinformed people.I easily could have gone the other way if I'd stumbled upon the wrong influences 10 or 15 years ago. Many times, I've reflected on how much more effective it is to meet people where they are instead of browbeating them for not bootstrapping their way to enlightenment.That's one reason why I appreciate the communication style of ContraPoints so much. She gets it. She knows how to change minds.UhMaybe someone who invited an anti-nonbinary truscum asshole on her video shouldn't be your go-to example

Not this shit again. You're gonna dismiss a channel full of exceptionally written, produced, and delivered content on the basis of the latest controversy? Well, enjoy.
Yes, this again. She's harming NB people with her actions. My life partner is enby. I will not be silent, FOH with that.
Her actions being putting the wrong foot forward in an ongoing dialogue? The left really does eat our own, wow. Guess she should shut up and disappear forever.
So disingenuous. You already know this is not the first time she's said bigoted things about nonbinary folx, and inviting a person who doesn't believe enby folx exist is the worst enbyphobic thing she's done to date.You can keep telling yourself you know more about my community than actual members of it, but you don't.
Natalie Wynn is no bigot. I don't agree with any perceived endorsement of bigots from her corner, but I also don't have time for reactionary canceling.I brought her up as someone I personally admire for her ability to bridge a gap that most people at this polarized moment in US politics don't even attempt to cross. You're supplying a textbook example of the approach that raises people's hackles, ruins dialogue, burns bridges between allies, and entrenches opponents across the ideological divide.It's possible to criticize problematic actions without dismissing a brilliant resource like the ContraPoints channel.
Keep telling yourself that. You're wrong.
When does the self-awareness kicks in?

If your thoughts as a creator about a protagonist in your upcoming work involve the words "toyetic" and focus-testing your merchandise, you're probably not dealing in something that is considered Art.
This is what sets a traditional forum format apart from something like Reddit where the "free market" dynamic more frequently prevails.
Were the replies deleted from that thread? Seems unlikely that nobody else posted in 9 minutes.
Most of the threads that have "run their course" tend to have a lot of engagement and then some mod just kills it.

Not that there's anything wrong with liking fast food to begin with. I don't even understand why they are mad at the comparison that everyone's been doing since... Avengers 1?
I personally feel that the way they handle threads locking them before people have the chance to get tired of fighting each other is what is somewhat causing the place to get so hostile in the first place, in turn creates the oh I’ll have to go back to my normal thread and bitch about said incident. Sometimes for the greater good it’s better to let the kids fight and then step in punish them accordingly and move on to the next couple of kids arguing.Sure it’s not nice watching distinguished mentally-challenged fellows fight but sometimes you just got to let them for the greater good.This whole just put them on ignore is pathetic. Well that was quite the long care post sorry.
alas the longer a thread goes on the higher number of reports are generatedthey probably have it down to a science over there, if a thread generates 40 reports it has officially run its coursebecause it has become prohibitively taxing for the moderation team to police it to the high level of standards all have come to know and love within the hallowed halls of era
NO ONE DOES THIS! No one calls someone who isn't acting like a Nazi, a goddamn Nazi

The only ones I see calling non-nazis nazis are nazis who're trying to muddle the water. See: "sOcIaLiStS aRe ThE ReAl NaZis!"
I saw a variation of that tweet thread on the `news`.

God, I hate this guy.(Image removed from quote.)The known TERF and trans Contrapoint girl manages to do the "read from a encyclopedia," youtube shtick without coming of as an ass, massive idiot and condescending douche. Neither seem to have any real opinions and do little more than explain vocabulary terms but she's not as boring as that other douche who just discovered people think differently than himself.

blast from the past, but a nice conclusionhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/transgender-woman-human-rights-waxing-1.5330807
The ruling also found that Yaniv engaged in improper conduct by misleading the tribunal, by being untruthful, and by engaging in extortionate behaviour and scurrilous attacks.It was also noted that she brought most of her 15 complaints against women described as "not white," while expressing racial animosity on social media and in her testimony.Yaniv was ordered to pay $2,000 to each of three respondents.
