[Bore Expert]

Remember when Cerium and all said ResetEra will be more open and less power trippy than GAF was 
That lasted less than a year before the admin devolved back into GAF's admin's worse habits, maybe even worse.

Unclear, unwritten rules that gets you banned
An admin that has skin as thin as Evilore's
Protected posters having open reign to go wild with little consequence

Let’s see... take the worst posters from Gaf and create a new forum, then put the biggest idiots in charge. I’m shocked it ended up the way it did. Shocked.

The think pieces coming from this are worth spoilers tbh

I do not expect most readers to remember this, but, back in the summer of 2011, I read the first four books of A Song of Ice and Fire, and I hated it. The evil sexy bitch-queens. The constant sexual violence. Daenerys, a 13-year-old, “consented” to sex with a grown man; Sansa, also a small child, was sold off to a different man for a different variety of sexual trauma in every book; Tyrion, by all accounts a hero, had as his backstory the fact that his father “forced” him to participate in the gang-rape of his ex-girlfriend, who he thought was a sex worker, but who wasn’t, which supposedly made this worse somehow?

HOLY SHIT WHY BDS IS STUPID ENOUGH TO LINK TO THIS SHIT!

How much is "1p" in real money?

Regardless it's fucking stupid to expect people to pay to do something that was previously done by an actual employee.

the store owners should pay the tax if anyone, since they're the only ones to actually profit from it

but hey, that would actually make sense which rules it out completely as far as the British parliament is concerned

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Its because young people voted against brexit more than old people did, and young people use self-service check outs because its fucking faster, and old people like to have a natter with the girl at the checkout whos on minimum wage and probably wants to take a break, so young people should pay a tax to help out old people who feel lonely as 'punishment' for voting differently about whether the UK is actually a part of Europe or not (because it fucking is).



the same think tank also want mandatory 'no headphones on public transport' days to force young people to talk to (lets be honest: listen to) lonely old people too.

Hey, guess what happens to the verb 'volunteer' when you make it a paid activity?

Why isn’t this story all over news sites or sports blogs?

Something like this needs to be front page on Deadspin or Buzzfeed so that more eyes can see it

Unsubstantiated accusations that were later withdrawn, and the person who made the allegations is now dead, is why.

Which don't mean shit to eras usual suspects, obviously, because 👏 always 👏 believe 👏 all 👏 accusations 👏 but yeah, gonna be interesting to see how excelsheetthief reconciles this wi- aw, who am I kidding, they'll just turn their internalised anger stemming from their cognitive dissonance into starting shit with some poor shmuck and utilising their ban immunity to get them got in some other thread.

Setting aside the fact that a reduction of tax is not a 1 to 1 substitute for paying someone, volunteers get paid stipends and reimbursed for expenses by non-profit organizations all the time.

[HaughtyFrank]

I don't know why people are dunking so much on riotous. When you purposely spoil shit you're just some edgy shithead.

He comes this close to realizing their bans are way too heavy-handed, but then veers into concluding they're just banning the wrong people, like himself.

[Boredfrom]

ERA won't ban Atlus threads after the continued and unapologetic homophobia/transphobia, nor PewDiePie threads, nor THQN threads after... what they did.
There won't be a ban on anything WWE related.
Please, prove me wrong.
Please.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Yes, if true.
But like with Jussie Smollett, the grotesque nature of what happened as described raises a lot of questions.
Like... opportunistic rapist of an anaesthetised patient? Sure. Probably happens way more than people would like to think, and theirs probably victims out there that don't know they are.
Opportunistic rapist with sufficient medical knowledge, lack of oversight of access to supplies like paralytic agents, and with a buddy willing to be complicit in everything except the actual rape to cover for him?

I actually kind of believe her now, given that the incident actually happened in 2006. Just blown away that this is not a bigger story given how vile it sounds.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm not questioning the capacity of a soldier to commit rape - examples are unfortunately well documented throughout history, as dehumanising an enemy is something of a necessary step to then go out and kill them.
I'm questioning;
 - an opportunist rapist doing that to an ally VIP
 - with access to a muscle paralytic
 - and clearance to go into a VIP treatment room and adminster it
 - with a female accomplice happy to help
 - knowledge and clearance to move a patient on an IV into another area without anyone noticing or questioning it
 - the not-giving-a-fuckness / maxed luck stat that the victim while conscious throughout the attack would not say anything at the time, or get a rape kit done

[Lonewulfeus]

[clothedmacuser]

Before the wars, they are pumped up by some false ideology that they will be fighting for the country and so-called 'freedom' . Yayyyy hurrrraaaaaa!!!!! 'MERICA!!!!! They don't even know how they are being played by their bosses for the interests of some very powerful individuals and corporations. And media plays a big role in this, including games that condition the youth with war-based games like COD etc. All these being used as tools for brain-washing and conditioning them in a certain way to accept these missions without thinking.

Their arrogance and ignorance of people in the military is typical of the Era brand.  These guys have never met a person in the military.

[Boredfrom]

I mean, this also happened:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/17/ohio-state-report-reveals-team-doctor-sexually-abused-at-least-177-athletes

Is not exactly hard to think that the US military will be better in covering this out.

I was doubting because I thought the incident happened in 2018, not in 2006 during the Bush years.

[REDPILLALPH ABIGCOCK]

Yes this military rape is exactly like Atlus not making a character gay like you wanted because you were too stupid to understand the point of the story.  Equivalent crimes at the very least.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm questioning: [snip]

well personally I am glad WWE's board decided we didn't need to know the answers to these questions because one of their stars being raped would hurt brand image and also they need to run interference for the department of defense

I have zero knowledge about what was investigated (or not investigated), what the result of any such investigations if they occurred was, or the circumstances as to why the lawsuit was dropped in its entirety.

Its good to know that era - despite being clear that this definitely happened exactly as alleged, because they are clear that they will ban anyone questioning any aspect of it for 'downplaying' - are happy to let the testosterone ballet & soap opera community continue uninterrupted though.

To address messages we have received: We will not be implementing a blanket ban on all WWE threads. However, we will have zero tolerance for any kind of excusal or downplaying of what happened here. This subject will be fair game in all WWE threads going forward. Any bans issued for violating this policy will not be short.

If Dany was a man she would look even more like a white imperialist, I'd be business as usual.

Did you willfully ignore the part where I implied that, for the analogy to kind of work, gender-bent Dany would have to be a POC, or?
Thus rendering your point moot, unless you wanna make the wild and inane point that POC can be white imperialists.

Is kind of frustrating to see people that are the first to ask for representation or more woke media can actually grasp how superficial was the cult of Dany and why her ending was expected. They are perfectly able to understand fiction beyond the usual tumblr demagoguery but choose to pretend they don’t get other people arguments.

[Averon]

So it seems that the mods settled on a policy of not banning anything popular, but allowing posters to derail and shit post in any thread related to it. They are trying to split the baby by keeping their children placated while not wrecking their site by banning popular topics that helps drive traffic and views.

Reading Resetera is like watching an episode of The Americans.
Everyone is a spy, highly sus, so transparent, dog whistling, signaling, talking in code... even when it's about a fucking fantasy tv show.
So the arguments themselves don't really matter, only the meta narrative behind them,
