One thing I want to make clear: not sharing the video and not watching the video does not mean we should avoid talking about what happened. White supremacy and platforms that allow such movements to persist and thrive should be called out and condemned. They are complicit.
I'm 50/50 right now on Waypoint announcing a ban on THQNordic.

I m sure there is more than four involved. Hopefully the police check through his contact on his phone and arrest anyone involved with this guy.
Better yet, why not round up all Kiwis who have ever visited 8chan or played a THQ game and put them in some sort of prison camp. Then we should just guillotine them without a trial, just to be safe.
Well, KiwiFarms at least. :ohyou

Quite frankly I'm considering banning all of ResetERA.com for not doing anything to stop THQNordic, PewDiePie, Ninja, YouTube, 2chan, NeoGAF.com, etc. by any means necessary.

ResetERA.com knew all about Evilore, but did nothing to stop him collecting money from the alt-right.

I'm with Nate on this one, actually. Yeah, this is a RE thread, and yeah, some of their reactions are bad and hopefully don't get any real traction. But it's weird when our reaction to a tragedy is "That's these weirdos' reaction to a tragedy? What terrible people!" Reacting to a tragedy by criticizing another reaction to a tragedy isn't particularly noble itself.

And yeah, now I'm reacting to a reaction to a reaction to a tragedy, etc. ad nauseum, but the point is, yeah they're kind of crazy in their reaction, but that doesn't make them bad people; just severely misguided in their misdirected rage.

Feel free to defend unhinged and barbaric insanity from a group that always acts in the same reactionary way... but there's no need to lump others in with your own reaction to a third thing that's actually not related except by the prior groups desperate need to connect it to their perceived enemies of the moment.

Idk if I’m being overly sensitive about this, but it’s weird you guys are criticizing RE’s reaction to this when other corners of the internet are literally celebrating. I know this is the RE thread, but their reaction doesn’t seem that bad to me.
i know what you mean, obviously breitbart, other more racist gaming circles are going to be way worse but there's something that, -to me- is particularly offensive about "left" "woke" types being more concerned over how this effects fighting whatever fucking dumb coorporate/political drama e-warfare bullshit they're embroiled in then the fact that 25-100 people got killed.

like who gives a fuck about THQ nordic especially at a time like this.

I agree that some of the responses are just awful, but none of them are even a tenth as shocking as what I’ve read on Breitbart (went their after Trump’s tweet). Obviously this thread isn’t about that, but RE’s responses seem relatively tame by comparison.

Really interesting to see a former voat poster concern troll about pewdiepie on the bore

A fair assessment of Era.  They really present a head scratcher when their targets for this attack are THQ and PewdiePie. 

I mean, people react to tragedy their own way but their reaction is an extra 2-3 degrees of separation from blaming this on Trump.  You might as well pin this on Glenn Beck and Joe Rogan.

Alright, benji, if you don't think posting quote-wall after quote-wall of people's reaction to the shooting and saying "lmao at these people" is itself a reaction to the shooting, then go ahead and take offense I guess.

All I'm saying is it's sad, and people are gonna take it poorly. And I don't think posting walls of poor reactions is any nobler than the reactions themselves. I ain't got no beef with you, man. That's just how I see the situation.

It's not. My "reaction" to the shooting is whatever I've said about it. Not about others bloodlust for their enemies invading any topic that amps them up. They do this all the time about everything. There doesn't have to be a shooting to set them off, it just helps them see red easier.

You're conflating two separate things that are only linked by an activating event and then talking about honor or some shit that doesn't even factor into it.

ResetERA.com is just showing their ass extra more because they're on their high horse because they perceive the shooting to be the work of their enemies: the entire rest of the internet.

PDP has persistently welcomed, entertained, joked uncritically, and normalized the exact attitudes, ideas, and motivations for this slaughter. He's made the weight of the Holocaust and genocide more generally the tinder for his "comedy" to children for years and years. He's shared and advocated for white supremacists and their propagandists with all the vigor of a true believer.

Who and what he is is crystal clear, and his direct contribution to these murders shouldn't be understated.
Quote
Wow who would have thought that years of signal boosting and promoting legit white supremacists would one day end in one killing people while uttering your name

Way to go, fuckwad. There's blood on your hands.
Quote
I hope this kills PewDiePie. He cultivated this audience, he should take responsibility.
Quote
Yes, the real monsters here are the ones calling for a man to take responsibility in his contribution to all of this.
Quote
This isn't a 1 to 1 example, but it really reminds me of those situations when people with large followings on twitter quote tweet someone. The quoted gets attacked by hundreds of people. When confronted, the person with the large following says "Well, I didn't TELL anyone to attack them!" The similarity I'll draw here is, no, PDP never told anyone to do this horrific thing. But to deny that he's been playing toward a crowd that could be motivated to do this type of thing seems difficult.

Now I'm confused, we don't hold others response for the thoughts and deeds of others. Correct me if I'm wrong but did the killer imply that Pew was the reason he carried out the heinous crimes?

But, in the actual topic about the shooting it is very clear that any links to the shooters' manifesto, video, or even 8ch itself will be removed immediately due to all of those things supporting the views and actions of 8chan and its adherents.

Which frankly ought to include THQ Nordic.
Quote
I also agree to ban THQ Nordic's videogame discussions, and/or to put a statement in each thread related to them about what they did and what they support.

On a side note: I really hope that a government will take actions and close 8chan for good. This place shouldn't exist. As for PewDiePie, this person needs to leave the internet. This influencer is breeding new generations of nazis.

The way Resetera is reacting to this is absolutely disgusting. I strongly empathize with the loss of life and the loss of close loved ones the people of NZ are dealing with right now, it is heartbreaking. Making this about your personal beef with Pewdiepie or THQN (the moral degenerates of 8chan can actually fuck right off) is so self centered and disrespectful to the victims, it does get under my skin. It also blinds them to the actual issues that are at play here. Some of the issues are those that I would imagine the leftists on RE would actually give a shit about, like gun control or accessibility to mental health professionals; while other issues I can understand their unwillingness to acknowledge, such as the demonization of white men in modern society. It just illustrates their self created intellectual bubble, boundaries and all.

With that said, the general mood of this thread is a bit whimsical and pokey. That’s why I like it. That is also why it comes across as a bit tasteless to just quote reactions of people who are making it about their own personal crusades. Ya know, it seems like you’re making fun of them, having a laugh.

There is nothing to laugh about here. Sorry for the uninvited care post.

It might be worth pointing out reactions like ResetEra's are tied to the motives of the killer who explicitly detailed he is hoping to accelerate things into a Turner Diaries scenario, where liberuls taking muh guns away results in the white race "waking up". Increase racial animosity, increase tension over gun rights. Mass shootings have become so cynical in presentation they are now self-referential and include livestreaming memes. It's gone beyond just hoping to get attention for a personal manifesto or a straight forward vengeance towards girls. These incidents are so absurdly useful for partisan reasons that a killer like this can now use them to hurt his own "cause" to increase polarization in the long term. It was once primarily a gun rights issue, but now it is a Trump and racial (and free speech/open internet) issue. He wants people to get more angry about guns and to be angry about straight-white-males despite those being principles he believes in because he feels society (whites) is too "made into a giant dad" for a race war. This also happens to sometimes be the underlying motive for instances of islamic terrorism, where they simply don't care about blowback in the slightest. To see how we get here, just look at previous ResetEra terror threads where they look on with great anticipation for the race/religion of the shooter. It's like your team winning or losing the big game if it's a radical muslim (right-wing) or 4chan cac (left-wing). ResetEra is a stand in for the whole internet. I could understand why you would find it tacky, but I don't think there is any separating of the cause and reaction in the age of twitch mass-killings.

The relevant narrative is how ResetERA.com became the reactionaries they probably once claimed to hate. They want to try people as war criminals, make exceptions for the death penalty (something they ban for under less heated circumstances) and use without trial, shut down entire websites and arrest their userbases, arrest anyone who's ever talked to an accused criminal, hold as complicit a moron on YouTube who literally does nothing approaching what they accuse him of because he was mentioned by an accused criminal, tear down an entire company and its employees for "promoting terrorism" for having an ill-advised internet goof, empower the Trump Administration to control Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. because these "further terrorism" and every other insane reactionary view that the first decade of this century were supposed to make "never again."

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing arguments in favor of torture on ResetERA.com. For a Twitch streamer misgendering someone or something.

That's their real ongoing crime. They're irrelevant so caring about their views is the wrong objective. What to care about is that we can't make fun of them and facetiously parody them anymore. They actually get to that point too fast. I had to make the above example so absurd to ensure they don't get there ever that it's not even amusing. And all this while being unable to identify the actual trolls and not paying me anything to run their Mod Admiralty for them.

I'm the real victim here. Can't you all see that?

It's like your team winning or losing the big game if it's a radical muslim (right-wing) or 4chan cac (left-wing). ResetEra is a stand in for the whole internet. I could understand why you would find it tacky, but I don't think there is any separating of the cause and reaction in the age of twitch mass-killings.

e: "made into a giant dad" what the hell do these word filters even mean

You're right; the reactions of people to this and other things like this will likely have a lasting impact. How people react does matter. And using RE as a test case for how the extreme left will react may actually be useful. And as Nate said, the reactions on the extreme right are extremely disgusting. The best way to combat an extremist and his plans is not with opposite extremism, but rather with levelheadedness. Unfortunately, I think that's becoming more and more difficult to come by.

The relevant narrative is how ResetERA.com became the reactionaries they probably once claimed to hate. They want to try people as war criminals, make exceptions for the death penalty (something they ban for under less heated circumstances) and use without trial, shut down entire websites and arrest their userbases, arrest anyone who's ever talked to an accused criminal, hold as complicit a moron on YouTube who literally does nothing approaching what they accuse him of because he was mentioned by an accused criminal, tear down an entire company and its employees for "promoting terrorism" for having an ill-advised internet goof, empower the Trump Administration to control Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. because these "further terrorism" and every other insane reactionary view that the first decade of this century were supposed to make "never again."

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing arguments in favor of torture on ResetERA.com. For a Twitch streamer misgendering someone or something.

That's their real ongoing crime. They're irrelevant so caring about their views is the wrong objective. What to care about is that we can't make fun of them and facetiously parody them anymore. They actually get to that point too fast. I had to make the above example so absurd to ensure they don't get there ever that it's not even amusing. And all this while being unable to identify the actual trolls and not paying me anything to run their Mod Admiralty for them.

I'm the real victim here. Can't you all see that?

Yeah, it all boils down to the most insidious forms of guilt by association. They have embraced it wholeheartedly, and if it were confined to just RE it wouldn't be so bad. But guilt by association seems to have taken root in our culture in ways I never thought possible even 10 years ago.

ResetERA.com is a self-proclaimed left. It's really quite hard to consider them progressive in their social views, or collectivist in their economics. They're mostly reactionaries who lash out at their perceived enemies (which includes all of the member base) first and decide the reasons never. Hence the constant obsession with optics and performative behaviors.

Yes, things like this happen in total vaccums. There's no issues with the people and organizations that promote said ideals. It's always just a singular person or small group that gets the idea in their head out of nowhere.

PewDiePie is a gross despicable human being for spreading what he does and knowing the influence he has. This is only going to happen more and more until he is deplatformed.

What's most annoying about ResetEra isn't really that they go with their most extreme emotional and irrational reaction, because everyone does that, it is that they immediately mow down anyone who dares tries to complicate that reaction.

I mean just think for a second: was this guy really supporting pewdiepie by shouting his name before committing one of the worst shootings in that nation's history? Do you think white supremacists feel any loyalty to pewdiepie besides "he makes the SJWs and mainstream media mad XD"?

There is no single through line from PDP to this mass shooter but PDP contributes to the pitcher of water that makes up the kool-aid that people just like these maniacs drink from. Just like Alex Jones & Beitbart & Milo Y. & Richard Spencer, and on.

PDP is part of the right-wing media that radicalizes people to become these Nazi fucks. He's a gateway into the bullshit. People usually don't just jump right into the deep end. He's implicitly part of the problem.
Quote
He isn't the only person who perpetuates the rhetoric that killers like this eat up. But he needs to be talked about and held accountable because he has a large audience and a large amount of sway within the world that gamers like ourselves walk in.
Quote
Speaking of Mansons, I guess you feel Charles Manson shouldn't have gone to prison, since he didn't actually murder anyone either.

There are different degrees of responsibilty when it comes to public figures with a lot of power, and to excuse them of any need to take responsibility for the effect their words and actions have on their followers is incredibly naïve at best. Do you really believe CEO's don't have any involvement in the scandals their companies are plagued with?
