I'm pretty sure they (as well as Kiwi Farms) have members here that are lurking or have been posting here under different usernames on this forum, & have been reporting to everyone else back at NeoGAF & Kiwi Farms by doxxing us (screenshooting our posts, etc.) & talking shit about everyone on here.

Just proves that they have no lives whatsoever.



As they should be.

Doxxing by taking screenshots of a public forum?

TheBire isn’t even mentioned as a hatesite? 

[benjipwns]

Pretty sure plenty of Neo(Nazi)GAF members are here in Era as well.

I think the admins should cross reference the list and make a thread outing these people to protect others and also to shame.

I never did suicide my account when NeoGAF came back from a very Assimilate-like 2 day lock orchestrated by the shower goblin. Was talked out of doing a porn suicide by a good wholesome person on a discord. Never requested a ban, but that doesn't mean I'm down with GAF and the  users that post there still.

As scrubby as these are, it's valid. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to use the arcade stick I bought in fighting games and just give up after a while because it's awkward/weird to try to do the motions you can do more accurately with the D-pad. And then having to put in time into the game after doing a full-time position? I can understand that not being appealing.

(I use the stick for Ikaruga and a few other shooters now. I stick with D-pad for fighters, I should probably look into modifying a cheap stick into a mixbox to go hybrid I guess)

To protect others.

First of all, that is an interesting choice of word, 'others'. The word implies she isn't including herself in that. She can take it. Others need protecting though, and she is one of the great heroes who can do it. The other thing is, it is a fucking forum on the internet not a refuge for abuse victims. Protect people from what? words? They either follow the rules (difficult as it is) or they don't.

If you're using a JP lever from a Sanwa JLF with it's square gate, you'll have to train yourself to stay in the zone and not 'ride' the gate, aka, throwing the stick to the edge of the gate.

If you do want to do that(throwing your stick to the edges like a dumb american like me), get a Korean or American lever. I have an etokki arcade stick that has a Korean Fanta lever as default. I know other peoples use Korean Crown's. It was expensive as shit tough ($200 for the etokki, and an extra $50 just to ship it from Korea).

Speaking of Mx./Mxs. in that lawsuit against YouTube for allowing negative comments, the QUEER KIDS STUFF creator was referred to by that:

5.Lindsay Amer (Queer Kid Stuff)
173.Plaintiff Lindsay Amer is the creator and owner of Queer Kid Stuff, a YouTube educational channel created to serve as a support for LGBTQ+ parents, LGBTQ+ children between the ages of 3 and 17, who have questions or face bullying for perceived LGBTQ+ status, and librarians and educators seeking assistance with respect to how to field questions about LGBTQ+ issues and support children affected by LGBTQ+ issues. Mx. Amer has an undergraduate degree in gender studies and theater; and a graduate degree in performance studies.

174.In 2015, they created the Queer Kid Stuff channel as a vehicle to upload their original video content. On May10, 2016, Mx. Amer uploaded the first Queer Kid Stuff education video. Initially, the video was shared and received roughly 2,000 views without negative comments or reaction videos. Within months of the uploading of the first video, the Huffington Post published a favorable article discussing the video.

175.On June 23, 2016, The Daily Stormer, a Neo Nazi website on that appears on Defendant Google’s search engine site published a commentary by Andrew Anglin entitled, “Sick Dyke Creates Educational Program to Brainwash Children Into the Homosexual Lifestyle,” which quotes from the Huffington Post article, and bashes both Queer Kid Stuff and Ms. Amer:

“Lindsey Amer is a twisted lesbo who is obsessed with psychologically abusing children, and has created an entire ‘educational’ program to teach children to become homosexual perverts. . . . [Homos] are always pushing for the ability to recruit younger and younger victims into their sex-cult, and now, our jewed-out society has reached the point where we are ready to show their recruitment propaganda to pre-schoolers – in order to prove we’re not haters, of course. . . . Please visit this creature on Twitter and let her know what you think of her plot. . . . Oh, and ask her if she’s Jewish.”
A Anglin, Daily Stormer, June 23, 2016. The article included a link to the Queer Kid Stuff Twitter account and Mx. Amer’s personal profile.

176.The Daily Stormer commentary generated an avalanche of hate speech directed at Mx. Amer and the Queer Kid Stuff channel. The hate speech involved vicious and obscene anti-Semitic, misogynist, and homophobic content, as well as other obscene material, and culminated in a death threat against Mx. Amer. Defendants permitted all of that hate speech to appear directly in the comment section of Mx. Amer’s Queer Kid Stuff channel. And although Defendant Google finally removed The Daily Stormer from their platform in the fall of 2017, the hate speech directed at Mx. Amer continued unabated on the channel.

177.As with the other the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs in this case, Mx. Amer supports the right of all to express their viewpoints in a civil and protected manner. But Mx. Amer, and the other LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs take serious issue with Defendants systematic efforts to restrain or financially harm Mx. Amer’s content and their ability to defend and protect themselves on a platform that promises to treat everyone equally. That is not the case here, because Defendants selectively apply their content-based regulations and filtering to promote and profit from homophobic hatemongers who are allowed to inundate Mx. Amer and other LGBTQ+ channels when thecontent directly and objectively violates Defendants content-based rules that they claim exist only to “keep the platform safe” for all of the YouTube Community, including Mx. Amer and the other LGBTQ+ members of that Community.

178.On September 14, 2016, four months after Mx. Amer uploaded the first video to the Queer Kid Stuff channel, they uploaded the second video. The four month delay between the first and second video was the direct result of the fear and chilling affect that the hate speech allowed and/or promoted by Defendants had on Mx. Amer. Mx. Amer was and continues to be unable to remove that hate speech using Defendants’ available filter tool. Repeated attempts to handle the tidal waves of hate speech that Defendants continue to allow to be directed at the Queer Kid Stuff channel has also interfered with Mx. Amer’s ability to reach and engage with their intended audience.

179.In total, Queer Kid Stuff published 12 new videos between September 14, 2016 and January 27, 2017. With the uploading of each new video, a new wave of hate speech filled the comments section of the channel. For every positive comment that appeared, dozens of hate-filled comments appeared and pushed the positive comment down the queue so that viewers would only see hate-filled comments when they watched Queer Kid Stuff content.

180.Despite repeated complaints to Defendants about the hate speech comments, and after devoting considerable efforts to reconfigure the Defendants’ filters to screen them, a number of members of Queer Kid Stuff’s intended audience, including parents, wrote to Mx. Amer complaining about the obscene hateful comments posted on the Queer Kid Stuff channel and informing Mx. Amer, that despite their approval of the intended content on the channel, these parents could not share the quality videos with their children, because it would expose the children to content which they deemed harmful and injurious. One parent wrote:

“I’m really glad that I ran into your channel today, as I found the videos to be easy enough for my 5 year old to enjoy and understand the content. This really is a godsend for me, a trans demi girl who has major problems with panic attacks just trying to address the subject with them. The only thing that I wish would get addressed with your channel would be doing something with the comments section. While it’s great that there are some positive encouragement from some viewers, others turn it into a dumpster fire dipped in cancer. I’m glad that my child can’t read well enough to understand the comments, but I think other children will inherently get exposed to transphobic, ablest, and queerphobic nonsense that may undermine the positive message of the videos.”

Another parent wrote:
“My 7 year old son (who self-identifies as queer) is home from school today. . . We love your channel . . . I wanted to reach out because even though we watch your videos, I have a strict policy against reading YouTube comments. YouTube suggested a bunch of hateful anti-queer videos in response to our watching yours, and as I went through the list to tell YouTube I am not interested in any of these, I ended up reading some of the comments. How disheartening. Talk about homophobia. I am literally crying right now at some of these and am quite glad my son is in the other room, since I’m not sure I’m emotionally up to explain it to him right now. . . .”

181.Because Defendants failed to regulate or filter the hate speech directed to the Queer Kid Stuff channel between 2016 and 2018, Mx. Amer was forced to disable the comments section to the channel in the fall of 2018 and to forego the ability to fully engage with and reach Queer Kid Stuff’s intended audience with its content. In the process, however, Mx. Amer noticed the hatemongers had started to upload and copy portions of or entire Queer Kid Stuff videos that they then displayed on the platform with disparaging, obscene, and hateful content, including fake voiceovers, or with the commentator inserted into a frame in the corner of the Queer Kid Stuff videos. Most of the reaction videos include links to the Queer Kid Stuff channel which acted as an amplifier for generating hate speech comments.

182.The obscene, hate speech filled reaction videos, many of which were spawned by The Daily Stormer article, also appear in searches for Queer Kid Stuff on YouTube, and appear in “Up Next,” recommendations on the screen whenever viewers watched Queer Kid Stuff videos, thereby exposing LGBTQ+ parents and children to inappropriate hurtful material. Mx. Amer repeatedly complained to Google/YouTube about the hate speech reaction videos which appear in the recommended “Up Next” material, and in the search results for “Queer Kid Stuff,” but Defendants refused to subject that content to their Community Guidelines and other speech regulations, or to prevent reaction video creators from posting links to the Queer Kid Stuff channel on the reaction videos.

83.In all, Queer Kid Stuff has uploaded more than 100 videos, of which Defendants have only allowed 94 to remain accessible to viewers; the channel has more than 2 million views and more than 15,000 subscribers. Queer Kid Stuff’s growth has been substantially stymied by Defendants’ selected, discriminatory, anticompetitive and unlawful use of its content regulation and monetization policies and practices, and has generated less than $500 per year. Defendants should be ashamed of themselves for promising LGBTQ+ consumers that the same rules apply equally to everyone and then singling out the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs, like Mx. Amer, and the greater LGBTQ+ Community for content and monetization violations while promoting and profiting from homophobic hate speech that threatens violence and goes unregulated on the YouTube platform.

Tripon: It's a HRAP 4. I have no clue which gate it is, I'm most just talking doing QCF's is awkward because I keep overshooting "forward" into like a 23696 sort of input for what I can 236 on D-pad pretty effectively.

So I can understand why some Smash folks wouldn't be into that, just like I couldn't "bridge" the gap going from D-pad to thumbstick on the pad for an "arcade stick" like experience.

(Mixbox is probably better for me as a person because I can at least assure that if I'm using 236 as an input and do binds for the keys, it'd be 236 for 3 button presses.

I wrote the confession about my thoughts on the current non-binary discourse.

I know my confession got removed, and I agree with that decision. I would appreciate if you could post this response with some haste, it does not contain anything objectionable.

I wanted to say that I apologize for what I wrote. I was angry and frustrated and had a lot of pent-up emotion after some of the recent discourse. I shouldn't have written it and I agree that it should have been removed. When I read it again after it was posted, I felt ashamed at some of the things I said.

But the reason I had all that pent-up emotion that came tumbling out in the first place is because this forum won't let me have this discussion, or anything resembling it. Someone responded to my confession saying that I could just "talk through it with the reasonable people on this forum" but we both know that's not true. I'd just get banned.

I don't fully understand your position. I want to understand it. I know I have problems I've internalized and I need to talk through them. But I don't know who I can talk to.

I apologize for what I wrote, non-binary ERA. I'll go back into the shadows.

If your attitude is literally "if I talk about it I will get banned" then you are either lying to yourself about how you actually feel about this and you clearly have stronger emotions than you're leading on, or you're not mature enough to talk about this without flying off the handlebars, or both considering you wrote to an anonymous confession thread ranting about the topic you are complaining that "you can't talk about".

Here is a hint, if you have fucked up internalized feelings regarding a topic that is inducing borderline rage/ranting posts about said topic, talk to a therapist and don't unload your baggage onto random people who fit the topic of your rant.

There's a difference between wanting to talk something through and sitting here and writing 12 paragraphs about how this is the truth that we need to accept. You also are kind of contradicting yourself throughout this apology. You say that you should not have said these things, but that we should also have fostered an area for you to say these things in a way that doesn't allow you to be banned.

I'm not trying to say that to be mean, but that I understand where you're coming from. You understand that what you said was hurtful but you still believe those thoughts that you have, and you're conflicted about it now. I do agree with a lot of what TLBB said above and that a therapist would be the best for helping you work through these thoughts, but I also know through experience that recommending a therapist to someone doesn't often really solve the issue as not everyone is willing to take that step.

If you want to have a genuine conversation about this, then please PM me. I have been incredibly active in the mental health and trans communities here and people often confide in me things that they're not comfortable saying out loud for all kinds of reasons. I have no reason to share these with anyone and I never intend to. I'll treat our conversation the same way, and it will stay between me and you. If you're not comfortable doing that, then I understand, but the offer's open whenever you want it.

[clothedmacuser]

It does not matter in general, your opinion is invalid when something does damage to people even though you shrug it off. Also don't tone police me.

Oh?

wow, you're full of yourself aren't you.

If you're adressing me keep at least a shred of politeness and a decent tone. Otherwise talk to your pals or whomever else you desire like that darling. Aight?

And don't @ me again or consider yourself muted. Take care now.

If you want people to address you with politeness and a decent tone, maybe don't make a post dripping in this much condescension.

Interesting how someone would talk about someone being full of themselves when having these sorts of demands.

I maybe full of myself too, no denying it, but I ain't pressing anyone to accept my view and I don’t pretend to speak in the name of the whole trans community like some of you are. I don't think asking for "these sort of demands" is weird in a convo, it's basic decency regardless of stance. Anyway, I really have other things on my mind and this exchange has run its course as far as I'm concerned.

This is not a good post.

Aussies don't read: Confirmed.

Disney+ OR the Main-pass (which is more expensive for Disney in the long-run because the employee can get themselves and like 3 others into the park for free, essentially)

NOT BOTH. ONE.

$75 a year vs like $300+ a year (possibly more depending on how often the employee uses their discount). Half of ERA would probably choose Disney+ because "OH MUH GURD! EWEN MCGREGOR OBI!!!!!!!!" over a more valuable perk that Disney is trying to get rid of to lower costs.

Not that hard to see why folks are mocking it, dude.

[SmokyDave]

See, I’d kinda understand making a noise if they’d swapped out the pass for the subscription, but they’re just offering a different (crappier) choice. That tweet makes it sound unreasonable that employees don’t automatically get both benefits.

I can’t imagine the hardship of having to say ‘no thanks, I’ll just take the free entry pass again’.

Still, this is the net so for all I know everyone is being totally reasonable and one employee mildly grumbling on Twitter has become ‘employees snarking hard’.

She chose to open her heart. Why did it need to be censored?

I'm so glad I got to read the confession in full, because benji copy/pasted it in it's entirety.

I must embark on a journey to engage in a struggle session and endure a self-504 Gateway Timeout Error in an attempt to remove some of the shame and dishonor.

Surprised to see no 9/11 mentions today. I guess people just don't care anymore

Oh boy, I really like the ones where a protected user or moderator declares what the acceptable responses are halfway through and then goes through banning anyone who spoke out of line retroactively, really gives era that forum identity all of its own.

Tripon: It's a HRAP 4. I have no clue which gate it is, I'm most just talking doing QCF's is awkward because I keep overshooting "forward" into like a 23696 sort of input for what I can 236 on D-pad pretty effectively.

So I can understand why some Smash folks wouldn't be into that, just like I couldn't "bridge" the gap going from D-pad to thumbstick on the pad for an "arcade stick" like experience.

(Mixbox is probably better for me as a person because I can at least assure that if I'm using 236 as an input and do binds for the keys, it'd be 236 for 3 button presses. [Read: 2 though since Mixboxes are like WASD or arrow-key layouts on keyboards, so it'd be more 2 2+6 6 "pianoing" if that makes sense)

Oh, you meant arcade sticks.  The "zoomer" complaints are about controllers.  Yeah, it can take getting used to sticks if you don't use them, but that's what I was saying...practice.  These people aren't going to do that. 

Also try doing 23+attack instead of 236 and see if it works for you.

Boiled Goose going full  ITT

I'm kinda meh on the whole ignorant American doing silly shit abroad schtick. It's been played out.

In parts he does that. In other parts his ignorance is purely ignorance and promotes skewed bigoted views of said cultures.

To me it's like South park season 1 tier humor. Making fun of your own ignorance only goes so far when said ignorance actually results in harm. Mocking germans isn't the same as mocking people from mexico. Not in today's context.

It's teenage level humor for narrow minded Americans or white people who feel well identified with their own culture and barely know any real people from the cultures being displayed. It's only funny from the outside.

There's very little substance or insight, except perhaps the realization of ignorance and the occasional glimpses of human connection and despite differences "we're all human". Not a shattering revelation for many.

White American self deprication is extremely condescending. Oh look at me I'm privileged enough to be condescending to not have to bother giving a fuck to learn your culture and yiir language and I get away with it and it's funny!

When an elderly grandfather from India was walking around a neighborhood in the USA, cops harassed him, body slammed him, permanently injured him because he couldn't speak English

Brown people in the US get constantly harrassed to "speak English, this is America" for simply speaking their native tongue.

Conan's whole schtick is being ignorant, borderline offending people, or making them uncomfortable, and then getting away with it because of his white privilege. To me, it just reeks of the worst parts of American culture. Nationalism, exceptionalism, and of course white supremacy.

Nice to use Trump's language to describe a country. What does Trump think about Ghana? Clearly loving Conan's special hasn't really done much affect how you see the world.

Like you, I have directly experienced the consequences of violence. Honduras at points has had the highest murder rate per capita at points. Extreme corruption. Extreme inequality. Of course those are issues. Being able to enjoy Conan's specials sitting in the US is a form of privilege. Go tour a culture and poke some fun. While people at the border from those countries are in cages.

 

fucking conan o brian, seriously?

like how the fuck can you watch that and be "oh look at mr cishet white american mocking the dumb natives"
