Resetera has always had an antisemitism problem. You can see that absolutely vile posts (like the Ubertag post I referenced before) get a slap on the wrist while the slightest transgressions against black people or trans people get met with a swift and lenghty ban.

I think the issue with ERA and the original GAF community is their lack of eloquence and precise language when speaking of Israel.  Israel does many problematic things, but they are unable to discuss this with nuance.  Everything is black or white. Hot or cold. 

Heck, America is problematic. Yet imagine if every thread on the USA would be carpet-bombed with the US's many issues. 

It gets annoying.  But that's Israel on ERA.

Honestly, the problem is that they're getting all their information from "woke" personalities on twitter and YouTube and don't actually understand what they're saying when they repeat what they've been told. So when asked to clarify they don't know how.

This kind of learned extremism naturally unfolds into actual bigotry at a certain point because in their heads they cannot separate the Israeli government with the Israeli people. I pressed multiple members on this exact point and they all had various answers along the lines of "Israel is inherently apartheid because reasons". So when Nintendo expands it's business into Israel instead of being happy for Israeli gamers they are affronted that Israel would support a "state" like that.

[Hot Slice]

I wonder if part of the reasoning in the ban was me mentioning Netanya in the OP. It’s a resort city and there are like 2 popular gamestores there. I think one of them is called Genesis games, and while they have been more legit over the years, they still have bootlegs.

But yeah, I wonder if part of the reason was that someone misread Netanya as Netanyahu.

 

Not like it matters or we'll ever know mind you.

You used to be like this on GAF if I recall correctly ... what made you finally wake up? You're woke-woke.

[Drainage]

Well someone created that one thread. Users could be flocking to secret Discords to revolt as we speak

[Hot Slice]

I hope not. I don’t want anyone causing trouble. Besides, I accept that I am just not well liked, justifiably or not. It’s not like I wasn’t going to ask for a perm in May anyways, I just wanted to keep my word on the Sonic thread, despite it helping generate the site more ad revenue.

So yeah, if anyone is reading this, don’t start shit. If you don’t like a community, just don’t post.

[Rman]

I think ERA is going to blow up like GAF eventually.  It's crazy how similar the arc is.

[BisMarckie]

Resetera:

Huelen was no angel.

[Leadbelly]

This reminds me of this one Jewish poster who would post in the Asian thread because Israel was technically on the Asian continent and that qualified him to post as an Asian.

You know technically Europe isn't a continent. It is part of the same land mass as Asia. So maybe Europeans can post in the Asian thread too.

[Propagandhim]

Actually articulating how Huelen was trolling would them be admitting they can't control the anti-semitism on their site.

[Lonewulfeus]

Comparing Huelen to Jesus

Yeah, Jesus didn‘t know shit about Sonic.

[nachobro]

I suspect this thread will be locked and I will be banned, in which case the answer is, “No. ResetEra does not give a shit about Jewish people.” and will join the ranks of other anti-semitic discussion sites like stormfront, 8chan, voat, and neogaf.

this dude with the option select on them

[Jenkem]

where the fuck is the *SNAP*

if you look in that thread there are no banned members.. this shit is FAKE

We have members of Jewish heritage on our staff and always consult with them on issues of antisemitism, in the same way we seek input from other minorities on issues that concern them. If anything, we receive more criticism for being overzealous on the topic than not zealous enough.

Cancer because world hunger is easily fixed by doing away with military spending.

People can at least beat Cancer and they are trying to come up with ways to beat it, but you can't beat hunger.

Curing cancer will cause hunger. Cure hunger instead.

I say cancer because of how dehumanizing it can be

I voted for solving world hunger but then I thought about the astronomical impact of putting billions of people out of agricultural/transportation work.

And of course because you can't have a ResetERA.com thread without extra film/TV references to explain a topic:

What if we rephrase the choice to..

Everyone gets either
1. The food replicator in TNG
2. The health bed from Elysium

The thread in question was created by a member with numerous infractions for trolling and attempting to stir the pot; they had recently returned from a 1 month ban for the same behavior on a different topic. We don't believe the thread was created to foster good faith discussion and that is why it was locked.

Lol, that ban was over a year ago. Why you lying Hecht?

[Propagandhim]

Guaranteed the list of Jewish mods is like one guy that never posts and Nepenthe fursuiting as Filbert from Rocco's Modern Life

[BisMarckie]

I demand Resetera release a list of all of its Jewish staff members

[PogiJones]

I was going to do the Team Sonic Racing thread and then request the perm myself. Why? Because I said I’d make the thread and I wanted to follow through with my original promise, even though it meant generating more ad revenue for them because you know my threads get a LOT of views, which means more money for them.

Yeah, that Team Sonic Racing OT was gonna be a real moneymaker

[Hot Slice]

Yeah, that Team Sonic Racing OT was gonna be a real moneymaker

If it did at least as well as the Forces OT, I would have considered it a fair success. I put love into my OTs. Not that it matters mind you.

[Jenkem]

the fact that a fucking SONIC FORCES OT did well tells you all you need to know about the users on resetera.com

[PogiJones]

OK, since the lists are so big they've been divided into two pastebins.

The first is a list of the fallen: https://pastebin.com/k9eqjSQG

The second is a list of the avengers: https://pastebin.com/gCbcd4ZC

We're going to be merciful and give you all a few hours to get your avatars and whatnot in order.

Why do they have to do everything in the most boring, anticlimactic way possible?

They are xenophobic as fuck towards Eastern European people who live under corrupt and/or semi-dictatorship governments, because of the actions of their governments. So what makes you think they would approach with any sort of nuance an Israeli society that is legitimately racist despite being an advanced country with a functioning democracy?

Huelen, you got boned. The admins there are so bad.

See, Potato, it's after seeing a chump ban like this that it's really hard to stick to my idealized post from the other day.

[Hot Slice]

People aren’t obligated to like people. If people don’t like me, that’s their issue, not my problem. Again, it’s all about respect. We can’t force people to respect others, it must come from within. More people means more views, means more ways to see things, which means more content which means more ad revenue, which means more money.

If someone got boned, it sure wasn’t me.

I never understood why some people love working as unpaid marketers for their corporate overlords (or to increase the profits of private forums owned by others) so much.

I actually didn't change all that much, many people simply went even further down the rabbit-hole of leftist extremism without question.

All of my viewpoints have been based on reason and research. If someone makes a claim on Twitter, I'll follow the chain of information until I get to the source and try to pick it apart. It seems like most ERA posters don't do this, they just accept claims as fact and amplify them for performative reasons. Not to go all horseshoe theory on y'all but I imagine most extremist communities are the same. You only get real notice by being more extreme than the other extremists so only the most insane rhetoric bubbles to the top.

[Hot Slice]

Depends on your point of views. It’s the same reasoning fan sites and fan wikis exists, some people happen to be passionate about a piece of commercial media and want to talk about it and share it with the world. Nothing inherently wrong with that. At the same time, I can completely see where you are coming from.

I didn't say they had to like you. The ban was contrived nonsense. If they had banned you for "We don't like this poster," that would have been less offensive.

[PogiJones]

Like bork banning Cream

Like bork banning Cream

How do you mean, that it was ok for bork to ban Cream because he made it abundantly clear how much he disliked her, or that his reasons for banning her were contrived?

Why are you letting Huelen troll this thread with her *checks notes* sincere posts about liking video games?!

[PogiJones]

The ambiguity was intentional

Heh I dunno. There's definitely some horrendous messages ("Probably another grift by a nation of grifters" about an Israeli lab optimistic they'll find a "cancer cure" soon is the one that stuck with me) but I think a lot of it is the lack of nuance mentioned with regards to any discussion about Israel and wokeness biting its own tail but without malice (most of the time). Same with most of the casual sudden eruptions of xenophobia.

PoliERA posters twisting some insane pretzel logic to minimize Jewishness as an official minority so that they could label Bernie Sanders "just another old white male" was really nasty though.

[pizzashit]

Gamers are just not allowed on reset™️ anymore.

That's what I mean. How can you sit and watch such fucking hypocrites continuously behave like that and not detest everything about them?

[CADborted]

Random thought: Resetera is often ridiculous with their warning/ban headers, but at least they let you know when/what you did "wrong". Reddit, on the other hand, is such a passive-aggressive place, with their habit of "shadow removing" stuff (that is, making a comment or post invisible to everyone except the author).

[Nintex]

Given this thread was not made in good faith and was an attempt to rile users up, it has been locked.

That's what you got banned for, Hot Slice HEULEN? seriously? Lmao reset mods 

If your memberbase can't talk about isreal without going into an antisemitic meltdown that's not heulens fault  treating the isreali people and government as one monolith 

Hey when you get banned does it tell you who did it? I got warned for antagonizing by a phantom. Not much use saying contact the staff when you don't know who did it!

Fair enough.

I think a site’s culture is the tone set by the mods. Then you have certain sycophantic power posters that will basically be in that mod’s ear as long as they abide by their belief system. Add that in with what I think is an internal “ban game” system to see how many people they can bring down by baiting and dogpiling and you get this extremist discussion board.

Fox News is pretty much a dangerous propaganda channel now and a major risk to democracy with its willingness to support even fascism as long as it comes from the right and lie and cheat in order to support it. Obviously laws can't stop them and a law that would may not be a good idea anyway. But what about using capitalism? Would it possible for e.g. Bill Gates to buy the channel outright and shut it down (or turn it into e.g. a nature documentary channel)? Of course the propagandists wouldn't just stop talking but they'd get scattered and lose reach. Kinda like the far right moving from Twitter, Patreon and Gofundme to short lived versions like Gab, Hatreon and Goyfundme which made it harder for them to reach the recruitable masses.
