User Banned (1 Day): Hostility/personal attack towards another member

Don't know why you guys continue to argue with subpar spatula. He is a known troll.

Dood deserved to get his ass beat, end of story.

User banned (2 weeks): repeated hostility and backseat moderation over a series of posts + recent ban for hostility against other members

Then his ass needs banned he does this shit in every thread. MOD team ban this fucking troll already enough is enough. Spatula needs gone from this forum

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
While we understand that this is a sensitive situation, posts that advocate further violence have been and will continue to be moderated accordingly. Additionally, backseat moderating and other forms of antagonizing members will not be tolerated. Stay on topic.

More legitimate leaks originate from 4chan than Reee. And they know it, too. That must be a real bug up their ass.

[Momo]

Do you see how this still falls within ree's definition of normalization?

I mean sure; the few people on Re who think we shouldn't even have bad people in movies even if they are portrayed as villains you might stretch that into thinking even showing a fat person is bad.

But you are just conflating different things to make some point about some small minority of Re members IMO.

I didnt click through to the thread, but I doubt it's the minority that's okay with this, but explodes when pewdiepie makes a video on youtube, gonna guess there's a huge overlap here.

[Transhuman]

I mean;  it's a fat person having fun at the beach... as long as it's literally not one of those "fat acceptance" ads I don't see how it's a problem.

In a swimsuit showing off her smooth skin. The premise of the ad is that morbidly obese women are sexy just like any regular-sized person, and that seeing her ample folds of fat doesn't trigger revulsion and empathetic pity from most people.

[VomKriege]

Points to Spatula, he really got under the skin of quite a few people.

[Momo]

what we really need is a new dodd scientifics.

[HaughtyFrank]

With obesity one the rise, a razor company will of course want to promote the idea that even fat people are hot when they shave their body.

What's funny though is that anti capitalism RE eats it up

User Banned (1 week): Downplaying a hate movement.

Thought: Game Journalists want GamerGate 2.0 to happen because GamerGate made them feel important, a feeling someone earning his livings talking about videogames generally doesn't get to enjoy.

User banned (1 day): hostility, antagonistic rhetoric

Eh, Sekiro's kicking my whole ass right now and it upsets me, but I'm not gonna bitch to the devs about it, I'll spend time getting better instead of being an entitled prick.

User banned (3 days): accusations of astroturfing and antagonizing another member over a series of posts

Claim:AC game have moved away from assassinations and stealth mechanics
Reality:No, they literally haven't in fact there are more targets than ever to assassinate as well as more ways than ever to assassinate and take advantage of stealth systems even in spite of the fact that they moved away from social stealth specifically as it didn't fit into the new gameplay loop they were trying to establish

Goalpost moved:But they don't have as many cutscenes......
Reality:Unlike in the past the majority of targets are encountered dynamically in the world. There are still targets related to questlines who have cutscenes and story, these factors affect the inclusion of traditional confession scenes.


You:why can't you accept a bullshit criticism
 

Maybe if the "criticisms" weren't so easily refutable and didn't always boil down to "it's not exactly the same as older AC games"

Do better with your build:


All that needs to be said. Note, this video was made before they added even more ways of maximizing assassin damage.

I swear you work for Ubisoft.

User Banned (5 Days): Inflammatory point of comparison.

Didn’t expect era to be so full of so many selfish assholes not just regarding kids but this easily implies that 40% are the kind of people who would also look the other way during something like the holocaust. Me me me, gotta save my ass first.

User Warned: Sweeping generalization of the community.

Era was super guilty of this too. Obvious it came from a place of ignorance, lack of understanding of technology and a seemingly innate desire to whine.

User Warned: Vilifying media outlet.

Disappointing article, but totally expected from media given their history regarding Epic Store. It's especially bad and apparent in Gamer Network owned websites.

User Banned (1 day): Vilifying media outlets

With all due respect, is EPIC moneyhatting media outlets now? There are so many "EPIC controversy explained" articles out there...

user Banned (3 Days): Conspiratorial rhetoric regarding accepting bribes

To be fair, one of Ars Technica's editors is on ERA and in one thread on this, they mentioned that when asking THQNordic about this whole thing, THQ instead sent an unsolicited code for an up coming game. That in itself is a story there. Yet no article.

Wow. So they literally took the bribe to stay silent.

User Banned (1 Day): Accusations of Shilling, Accumulated Infractions

So do they compensate you for playing the role of damage control or what?

12/10 would downplay vilifying the shilling movement with antagonistic rhetoric again

Cool clip but I’m not a fan of Brie Larsen as captain marvel. She’s been great in other movies so maybe it’s just the material but I’m not feeling it.

Is cap marvel always that arogant in comic?

Yeah, she just comes across as an annoying killjoy.

And now it begins.

Confident woman bad

Captain Marvel is cringe af

And you're fragile af

just making sure that tone is established; that literally the first woman in film cannot be criticised because shes literally the first woman ever in film.

I think I have to ask you guys for your express written consent when I send you some steam keys in the future.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Calling 50% of the population bigots and undesirables really did the liberals a favor in 2016. The cycle just keeps repeating. You would think that the party with "all the good ideas" and all about "toleration" would be able to convince everyone else with their toleration and good ideas instead of just name calling. Obviously there are people that are "lost causes" I think we can all agree on that, but just calling anyone that is a republican a bigot is foolish. Nations run on compromise, not on stubbornness and ignorance.

Either they are, or they are okay with it. That's just the unfortunate truth.

Hey, maybe I shouldn't call 45% of resetera child murderers, but either they are, or they're okay with watching a kid drown in front of them to save their own ass.
That's just the unfortunate truth.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY UNSOLICITED GOODS CANNOT BE RETURNED TO YOU

when I asked THQNordic on their official YouTube account's latest trailer if they had a secret history of genocidal fascism they sent me the IP rights to a bunch of early 2000s shovelware

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

In these questions I always look to age. The youngest people live. Everyone else has has more life than then, it’s only fair and pragmatic to make it age biased.

So at what point does the age difference cease to be a factor? Does a 25 year give up 50 years of life because he lived 10 more years than a 15 year old on the boat. That doesn't seem fair to me

bruh, a 15 year old probably hasn't even kissed a girl yet, but...

Oh man, with all those bans about conspiratorial rhetoric, it's gonna be really hard to make wild accusations against Russians and Chinese.

yep, things are changing on ResetERA.com for sure:

User banned (72 hours): Peddling conspiracy theories.

Seems like a clever stunt from Epic, by making ridiculous accusations against them they try to win people's hearts. It's in our nature to side with the one being bullied.

User Banned (3 Days): Baseless conspiratorial rhetoric.

Normally I would say this is conspiratorial nonsense, but considering the shadiness of the likes of Huawei and how deeply they have penetrated the west, these days you just can't underestimate the chinese government and their influence.

User Banned (5 Days): Vilification of journalism and media; conspiratorial rhetoric

That’s exactly what is happening and the fact people are falling for it makes it even more laughable.

Tim really is doing everything he can to garner sympathy for Epic whilst simultaneously screwing over consumers and engaging in anti-consumer practices and behaving like a marketplace bully.

Like you say, a fringe opinion from a bunch of people on reddit who think the Chinese government might be collecting data has now been made the front and center argument to protect the shady stuff Epic are doing and handwave it all away.

And then to cast a wide net out and throw accusations of racism/xenophobia at people who take issue with what Epic are doing is absolutely insulting to people who have to deal with racism/xenophobia on a daily basis.

The media using race as a manipulative tool to disguise poor business practices and deflect away from real issues, I am shocked, it’s almost like the media don’t actually care about racism/xenophobia and just use these topics as a way to cause conflict between people and deflect away from things.

Like I said before, I have no doubt there is an element of racism/xenophobia involved from
some knuckle dragging idiots when it comes to anything related to China but to pretend a fringe element represents the majority view and to cast aside the real concerns and put this front and centre is incredibly disingenuous, especially when you consider the majority of people who even mentioned the Chinese connection made it abundantly clear it was because they do not trust the Chinese government and it has nothing to do with Chinese people or race or xenophobia.

[BIONIC]

Fuck the ChiComs 

[benjipwns]

I'm just afraid of what the gaming corporations like THQNordic will get away with if the game writers go on strike, at least with Epic Games I don't have to worry about anything, but what about the Warhorse Studios or the HAL Laboratory's or the Tim Soret's of the world if no one is working to hold them accountable?

As AI evolves, the line between it and human consciousness will be blurrier. Unless you believe in some spiritual mumbo jumbo, then we don't even understand how our own consciousness works. It's literally impossible to prove anyone but you is actually sentient. So thinking you can definitively decide if AI is sentient and conscious is insipidly and disgustingly self-important.

Can’t wait for the first robotphobia bans.

I saw Aidan Gillen at an airport in Uzbekistan a few weeks ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a hothead and bother him and ask him to take some men free of charge.

He said, “Oh, you want me to call it in?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “BANE? BANE? BANE?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my boarding, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my ticket up front I saw him trying to board the plane with like fifteen doctors in without paying.

The girl at the desk was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to file those with the agency first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the desk.

When she took one of the doctors and started checking for ID multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any master plans,” and then turned around and gestured a feather in his cap at me. After she scanned each doctor and gave them each a stamp and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by gripping his belt really loudly.

3 years ago, I came across a kid in a practice room working on his cowboy stance. He was early 2nd year and he'd started at the Agency with a lot of hope...like all you guys. But the truth was he was barely called in to begin with and uhh....he was really struggling. The people in charge here were all telling him "Maybe this isn't for you"...but they didn't see what I saw...a scared small guy cursing himself because he couldn't figure out if he should shoot a man before or after throwing him out of a plane. I saw a master plan in him, and I put him in his own Studio Plane. And when he graduated, Ittin made him third agent at the CIA. A year later he was CIA. And that's who you're all dressed as now.

His name was Bill Wilson..... I find out this morning that....Bill....died yesterday...in a plane crash....no survivors. They found him in the wreckage...and uhh..I just....I wanted you guys to know.... that he was a big guy.............I just wanted you guys to know.

spirtually true source: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/a-normal-persons-guide-to-how-far-right-trolls-talk-to-each

Baneposting
A convoluted meme about Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. In the opening scene, Bane is brought onto an airplane by a CIA officer played by the guy who plays Littlefinger in Game of Thrones. While Bane, the anarchy-loving villain, seems like an obvious idol for 4chan, they became weirdly enamored with the CIA agent, partly over an awkwardly homoerotic piece of dialogue (CIA: “You’re a big guy.” Bane: “...for you.”) While Baneposting isn’t explicitly alt-right, it’s bled over. For example, a guy dressed as the CIA agent showed up at the counterprotest of Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump art project “He Will Not Divide Us.”

yikes, that name:

Bernard the Polar Bear
A forced meme that a polar bear cartoon purports to be an alt-right symbol. There’s a real cartoon show from South Korea about a polar bear named Bernard, but this isn’t totally related. The meme is basically fake and spread only in hopes that people will fall for it. Thing is, if you force a meme hard enough, sometimes it works. So far, this is still pretty obscure.

Shitposting
A classic forum term for flooding a thread with worthless or annoying posts, either because you're bad at posting or because you do it on purpose to troll. The alt-right uses shitposting as a derailing tactic, kind of like a digital filibuster. The term is used flexibly to sometimes just describe any kind of online posting: tweets, memes, etc.
