Hey there - you’re not wrong that a ton of that thread was gross and bad and straight up nonsense. Greg asked if I wanted help making an account to post there and I said, “no thanks.”

(Image removed from quote.)

What a cunt, I hope she gets raped by Boogie and his gang of nazis.

[benjipwns]

Probably would like it, breed for the master race and all. There is no "of course" about this.

[benjipwns]

It's good to know they see their role as to just assume that people are inherently problematic in some horrible way and they pay attention purely to catch it when it surfaces in dog whistles like joking with Boogie1488 on Twitter. It's important to have a watchdog for the industry to help it towards the right side of history.

[benjipwns]

To be fair there's a lot of fucking nonsense in this thread mixed in with the legitimate concerns.

Not anywhere near the amount to label it a ton. In fact Idk how many pages you would have to go back to find any posts that are gross or straight up nonsense like she suggests. And honestly given the topic and how shes at the center of it she didn't need to say that. The complaints about the bad posts in this thread are honestly way over blown.

tfw when you're debating how much of your thread is actual nonsense

[BisMarckie]

I appreciate both of their responses. Hopefully they'll be able do better with how they communicate, to look back at this video and say, "I'm glad we're doing better than that"

I think cauli might be on to something, this might be a bot.

[nudemacusers]

It’s at most 500 kilos of nonsense

[nudemacusers]

ps UGH

It's what these people mean.

Some people sure like to micromanage minorities' emotions and reactions.

[BisMarckie]

With Andrea, if people want to accept her apology that's fine but there's a lot of things she's saying in those Reddit posts that's very suspect.

I think just the fact that she posts on alt-right haven reddit instead of resetera is sus.

[benjipwns]

she REFUSED to make a ResetERA.com account, like how is that not suspect, at least benji is angry because The Obliterator stole his name, what's her excuse?

[benjipwns]

Andrea isn't sincere whatsoever. She despises the community unless they're singing her praises and giving her money. I've followed Kinda Funny for a long time and I'm positive she'd rather put every single person who bothers her on mute and never interact with a single person who confronts her. Numerous times she's gloated about blocking people on Twitter and has asked if Kinda Funny can just disable the YouTube comments. One would think she's been conditioned to avoid all discourse due to the true pieces of crap who want to hate her for no apparent reason, but the truth of the matter is she can't admit when she's wrong. I guarantee Greg had to strongly convince her to write an apology. She would've never done that if not for him.

ugh this fucking nazi whore

Yikes, endorsing harassment via youtube comments and endorsing mansplaining.
UGH

[BisMarckie]

[benjipwns]

Of course and we absolutely should rebuke those types of responses. But they aren't the vast majority of posts in here and I think that matters. I mean shes posting on reddit where there are easily responses like that there as well. I have no issue with calling out shitty posts but a lot of people here and on reddit have tried misconstruing the actual content of this thread into something its not. And Andrea really shouldnt be harping on about a few outlier posts when she just got done defending a bunch of white supremacists. Let the mods here deal with that, theyre pretty damn good at it

Yeah I mean there are absolutely posts here that are shitty but just doesn't really feel like a great time to be attempting to suggest thats what a ton of the conversation was like here, especially given her position in all of this.

[benjipwns]

thank god The Bire isn't like that and all the posts here are completely endorsed by each and every member of the forum and the moderators and admins

As a side note, don't open your door for strangers.

These are people in their 30s.

[benjipwns]

She said she was coming back from her aunt's house and her car broke down and she was trying to get cab fare home. I didn't have any cash in my purse and felt uneasy but I gave her 2 dollars in quarters and she just looked at me in disgust and asked for more.

I don't know. She is knocking on my neighbors door now. This seems very unusual to me but she also didn't seem threatening at all. She left like 10 minutes ago and I feel guilty for being so suspicious but here I am I guess.

[benjipwns]

Becareful when it comes to strangers. It was probably a scam.

Don't open your door for strangers and especially not late at night.

I love my smart doorbell because I just make it say no one can come to the door.

[BisMarckie]

If I were you, I would've considered calling cops.

[benjipwns]

In college, so like fifty years ago, this dude came to the door and I accidentally answered it thinking he was the UPS guy, and he was claiming collecting for some charity, so I just looked at him like and said "okay...hold on" and gave him a handful of a bunch of the change (sans quarters obv) I had on my bookshelf and didn't really want. He looked at me like back after he realized what I gave him.

 

[BisMarckie]

The parents of these posters must be very proud considering their don‘t open the door for strangers talk had such a lasting impression.

[benjipwns]

Never open your door. You call the non-emergency police line to request a check well being and try to give them a good description.

[benjipwns]

nowdays personally i just dont open the door unless i know the person. for one, 90% of people who cold knock doors in my subdivision are salesmen. it's 2019. some comedian has a riff about how in the good old days people's doors were always open, but now people call from their cell from the driveway and an unannounced knock sends everybody diving for the floor terrified.

this dude's been to one of Transhuman's shows

I once signed up to donate to the WWF (not the wrestling one) just because the girl collecting was smoking hot.

Called my bank to cancel a couple of days later.

This was posted in a thread where the argument is over comic book movie character power levels.

[VomKriege]

If a mediocre plot is the price I have to pay for this franchise to get its foot in the door then so be it.

It's Pokémon, it already has the foot in the door of mass culture
It's depressing to see how far the audience has been conditioned to accept that somehow franchises need a string of mediocre movies before producing a good one.

Turns out the aggregators are also acting in bad faith.
Don't use MC, just RT ! Unless it's the User Review score tho.

[VomKriege]

I don't even look at movie scores now that Rotten Tomatoes exists. Why hem and haw over what that 63 or 72 really means when I can just look at RT and see a simple percentage of how many critics think it's worth a watch?

Why even bother with RT when you have friendly messages in front of your YouTube videos saying that you should see it ?

[benjipwns]

sometimes i get the impression that the collective ResetERA.com despite being ~30+ years old, didn't really get on the internet until like 2005 or so and then stuck to one or two forums, eventually NeoGAF.com, and didn't really go anywhere else for a long time other than occasionally and often only if something was pre-approved as not dangerous content

Nah to get rid of Steam keys.

[VomKriege]

The trailers honestly made it look pretty good up until now. Feels like more of a 65%-70% film, if you're at all familiar with Pokemon. A lot of these reviewers don't seem to be, which really hurts their enjoyment down to 45-60% seems.

 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/detective-pikachu-review-thread.114862/page-11#post-20428438

The negative reviews make no sense.

I really don’t understand the confusion reviewers have about Pokémon, they’re basically just animals.

I bet she has sex with men. Ugh.

This thread was intended to highlight a conversation full of uninformed insensitivity, and make a plea for better judgement. It certainly was not intended to be the "Andrea is completely terrible" thread. Yet there were enough terrible posts about Andrea in this thread to make her, or anyone, not want to come to this forum ever again. How people think that the focus should be moved away from the issue (and the concerns raised by your fellow Era members), and onto YOUR own theories of who they are and how they got here, or onto gross personal attacks just because YOU happen to know who works in the industry that is related to her, is beyond me. A few posts up from this one even suggests that a woman fake her response for a man's sake. Do you know how terrible that reads?

So yes, Andrea described some contributions to this thread as being from "big ole douchebags". You think she's wrong? Don't continue to post things that have nothing to do with the issue at hand, and/or serve to prove her right. Understand from my initial experience with Kinda Funny, and let's hope that others catch on to see that it doesn't take very much to turn people away for good.

Wow, yikes, ugh this post is problematic.

Oh wait a mod posted it so n/m.

Unless the mod is a bad faith alt-right plant from.... reddit 😱😱😱

I wonder who has Audioboxer's back, I'm surprised he hasn't been banned.

[benjipwns]

She still doesn’t get it.

One day y'all gonna have to come to terms with how many miscreants are lurking in the gaming community and how many public figures in this industry have no idea how to deal with them as their colleagues, associates and friends.

Can't believe people were big assholes to me over my

*check notes*

indifference and sympathy to white supremacists.

And further, Andrea talking to the subreddit about how shes doing this for them and not for THIS community, is part of the problem. Shes drawing a line in the sand for people of the KF community who post here and who post there, as if the KF best friends on ERA are somehow not apart of the real kinda funny best friends, but D bags merely because some posters made some shitty posts (a phenomenon that no message board is insulated from mind you, especially the one she chooses to post on IE reddot) and because were not willing to overlook the sad defense she gave of two white supremacists on monday. Like if anything her follow up comments are only aiding that poster's opinion of her-that any dissenting part of the KF community she writes off and shuts down. Acting like shes in a dammed if she does or doesn't scenario is ridiculous when all but 1-2 posts here following her apology were thanking her and ready to move on. And honestly those 1-2 posts that doubted her sincerity are starting to appear validated

Andrea's comments on reddit however calls her entire apology into question.

"Era sure is bad and gross" says person posting on reddit.

Andrea's Reddit comments risked undermining her own apology and fuelling the drama further. It's just unnecessarily combative and unprofessional regardless of the 'douchebags' in this thread.

Ooof, not a good look. Not that ResetEra wouldn't have it's fair share of douchebags, this thread included. But when you're responding to legitimate criticism and apologizing. Don't then just right after turn yourself into victim, it really takes away from your apology a lot. It makes it seem you clarified and apologized just because you felt forced to, not because you sincerely understood your mistake and felt bad because of it. She could had atleast played along for the sake of Greg and Kinda Funny.

She does have a history of refusing to apologize or admit being wrong. I’m sure Greg did ask her to make some sort of apology in order to keep this issue from getting to Colin levels.

And while I might somewhat agree with her that there were some awful comments in this thread, particularly early on, there were the significant minority and the fact that she feels the need to throw that in directly after her apology just kills any chance of me taking it as sincere.

I understand coming to Era to apologise and recognise you can do better, and that’s the first step.

Now, are these apologies coming in a video as well? Because all KF followed watched 2 creators Kinda giving a pass to racism and bigotry.

Until people apologising don’t start using the same platform, reach and power they used to say something bad, but for the apology, I don’t much value on this apology.

wommins amirite lol, always causing problems for their menfolk

[BisMarckie]

Good thing we have settled that this cunt corrupted pure and progressive Greg Miller into becoming a nazi. He apologized and maybe there is a chance for his rehabilitation.
Maybe it‘s even her fault that Colin Moriarty made that horrible, horrible joke on twitter?

Which man will this female with a history of severe infractions latch onto next and convert him to nazism? Austin Walker? Patrick Klepek?
I don‘t think we can take this chance.

Gosh, if only you had some sort of, you know, like, power, to make people turn down the hateful rhetoric, or remove the obvious hatemongers and populist rabble rousers from a conversation, even on just a temporary basis, or had, like, any abilities to moderate the discourse, or shape what kind of site and community you belong to.
