User Warned: Cisplaining

Cisplaining now in the mod lexicon. Ketkat did not die for nothing

This is an actual warning on ERA, holy shit 

[Jenkem]

According to Think Progress, the Salvation Army is an anti-gay hate group because it “at the time of the donations [from Chik-Fil-A] had a written policy of merely complying with local ‘relevant employment laws’” which “since changed to indicate a national policy of non-discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

McDonalds and other big chain low-tier fast food are all in the "desperation food" category; You only go to those places if you're starving and too far away from anywhere decent.

Then you regret your decision the next morning.

Imagine how empty your life is when you're regretting fast food next morning.

I had a quarter pounder and half a big mac last night. Rather than regret the decision, I ate the other half this morning for breakfast.

When I was in college I had a coupon to buy the basic ass cheeseburgers from Burger King for 50 cents. Bought like 15 of them and that was everything I ate for 3 days.

So many stanning for ket in the trans thread, but the last time they posted in that thread was over 6 months ago. They only ever shit up other threads. They are a blight on the forum and provide zero positive input.

In college I would get as many coupon books as possible and buy Del Taco Double Del Burgers for like 99 cents.  Way better than the Five Guys across the street.  That Del Taco was like 60 feet from my apt.  It's dangerous for your health when you suddenly want nachos at 11:00 pm and realize you have the ability to get them.

Double Cheeseburger. I have a freezer drawer for surplus when I buy too many but they don’t stay in there for long. Nuke ‘em in the microwave and job’s a goodun.

Go fuck yourself, you pathetic piece of shit.

[benjipwns]

As for Ket I personally look up to her as kind of de-facto leader/voice of the community and as I have stated I am truly bothered by this but I didn’t even think about it until reading the posts because it’s not one of my issues and I am not part of that community but I didn’t even realize until this and looking into it that she could also be considered a leader/voice for the mental health community and I worry about how this affects them and their stability now.

Even if it comes with heavy caveats about the behind the scenes stuff going forward she really needs to be unbanned/allowed back, no exceptions.

Also consider the fact that a lot of those people in the mental health thread are also LGBTQ*. Not only has their help been banned, but they've received a very clear message re: their status in this forum.

I don't know her except through having read her posts but my greater fear would be that she may choose to leave permanently of her own accord because this leaves a bad taste, and I think that would be a tremendous loss for the community.

CERIUM WANTS THEM DEAD

Public discourse around bans has never been a thing here. Not sure why people are demanding an exception.

If it wasn’t enough you defending Chapelle’s transphobic trash or whining about cancel culture we don’t need you popping into the thread purely to prod as you usually do.

SHUT UP YOU

It’s been their playbook for a long time. Every time a community has issues with this place, a mod of that community’s identity gets trotted out as if that was an answer to systemic issues with the site

Yeah, the admins of this place have always been super cagey. It's been that way since day 1.

For real. Transparency my ass. We have never had a clue about what goes on behind the scenes and the admins refuse to elaborate on any decision.

GOOD POINT

[benjipwns]

SOMEONE CERIUM WANTS DEAD:

First of all i just wanna get the elephant out of the room and say im not capable of talking about what's going on with ket and im sorry im so fucking stupid about it. It breaks my fucking heart and I just don't want anyone hurt, and my splitting has made it impossible to look at things properly. I just don't want anyone to hurt and she was amazing in this community and i feel for everyone involved. I also feel extensively for any trans people in this forum, what you have to go through both in and out of this site is unacceptable.

On a personal level im both really good and really bad. I'm doing theatre again, shows this week actually and it's kept me really busy which has been good for my energy. My car might be undrivable tho. Shop wanted 800 dollars to not even fix the problem. Figuring things out but my debt is just climbing through the roof.

Almost had a suicide attempt but I did not (talking to my partner helped tremendously) when i got a medical bill in the mail for 900 dollars (this was a mistake thank God, short version they were supposed to pay for my therapy but it was an error of paper work on their end) however that moment i also realized there's never going to be a "good time to leave" so I'm just at determined to leave, fuck the consequences. Once i get the job im going i have to.

One major change is im really not ashamed how i look these days. My dysphoria is slowly going away and im feeling pretty good. Im taking more selfies, trying new looks, its hard where i live to go as far as id like to but Im finally feeling okay being me.

[benjipwns]

Ketkat hasn't posted in the Mental Health Era thread since September.

Also like every post in there is "you should talk to a therapist"

Double cheeseburger, huh?

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

McChicken sauce

[benjipwns]

All this time and we're still trying to account for all the loss of research caused by the Nazi's destruction of research on gender and sexuality, and there's zero question that the replication of fascism in the modern era is tied to this fact. Transphobia is one of the biggest, most obvious tells for fascist grifters who want to appear "respectable". This shit is painfully relevant.

It's been five days with no resolution. I don't understand, on a logistical level, how this can take five days to sort out. Maybe the discussion about moderator policy going forward, sure, but five days just to come to a conclusion on whether someone should be banned at all and, if so, for how long? That strikes me as odd, at the very least, suspicious in practice, and horribly unfair to Ketkat and all the people who have come to see her as an important resource and advocate on this forum.

Meanwhile:

User Banned (Duration Pending): Conspiracy theories, ignoring staff messages, numerous previous infractions

When you know you've said something truly horrible, so horrible that if anyone discovered it you'd be ruined, you get super paranoid that people will find out about it.

So when a poster references that event, even if they name no names and mention zero specifics and there's no way it could possibly be related to you, you panic because you know they know, and at some point in the future they could attach a name to the horrible things you said.

so they ban you

I think this thread wasn't posted: Why do you post on a video game forum?

Because it's a lightning fast news aggregator.

Somehow I get all my news here first. I see it sourced for news sites all the time, too.

Because it's a lightning fast news aggregator.

This.

Yup, Big news wont get missed here.

It’s a great source of news without the insane clutter that twitter entails and generally I am accustomed to message board format, while most of similar discussion groups moved to facebook groups and the likes

I get all my gamer news here first

Because it's a lightning fast news aggregator.

yah this is it for me

For fast news and as a social outlet

Great for breaking news.

Here for the gaming news and because of habit.

News and discussion.

It’s a great spot for news

Because it's a lightning fast news aggregator.

also this.

I'm a gamer, and we ban alt-right, gamer gate, etc. types here. And it's a forum! Hard combo to find.

This place is also amazing for finding out news.

I mean, they're right, where else on the internet am I going to find news?

I still enjoy some games, even if I don't play that much anymore.

Sometimes I wonder why Era is a video game forum. I mean yeah, there's a gaming side and all but there's a strong undercurrent of... animosity... towards damned near every aspect of the hobby: the games, the industry, and especially the fans, to the point that some use the term "gamer" as a pejorative.

I get it - there's problems with the hobby that deserve criticism and sometimes even contempt but still, it seems excessive coming from a place that is obstensibly a forum for people who like games.

I used to be a very avid gamer, amassed a collection of over 1,200 games (all originals, complete with all packaging and manuals) across 27 consoles/handhelds across 3 continents.

So I started posting on the forums of the website that pre-dated the old place. Back then it was a part of Gaming Age.

I haven't been a gamer for quite a few years now...

[benjipwns]

I like games but I really like the community, it's not a cesspool, you are interesting, funny, friendly and insightful and when the hammer falls, it's fair and you learn the error of your ways to understand topics better and be better.

[benjipwns]

I'll be honest if she doesn't come back either from being perma banned or of her own will then I'm done with this place. The mods have been great but the admins have proven time and again to be unfit to handle this community.
I keep giving this place more chances but the admins always kill the goodwill the mods build up and I just can't stand the all this self-serving "stay in line" bullshit.
This doesn't mean much to most, I'm new to being trans and I've not been a very active member of this community. I wanted to try and change that because I love a lot of people here, but I haven't felt safe here for a while.

I checked on the NEOGAF JUSTICE  PROJECT and there has been no reply to recent posts calling for filler to be unbanned since Friday.

It’s like Tyler doesn’t want his forum to thrive.

[shosta]

I understand. It really sucks. I don’t think you’d be alone. If it comes to a mass exodus that’d be heartbreaking. Eras trans and more broadly LGBTQ communities are extremely important to this place’s DNA and I don’t know how well things would survive another massive shift. That’s just me being self centred though. I like y’all and I want to keep reading your posts. Here’s to hoping things settle out for the best soon.
