People who watch WWE should be legally designated as subhuman and used for dangerous labor.

[Mr Gilhaney]

if you watch wrestling you are a subhuman. this has been known forever. i remember the one weird wrestling kid i went to school with, guess what? he's gay now.

What if you watch wrestling, but only because you really appreciate the homoerotic nature of it?

I agree, Rich Evans is funny.

Imagine if your superpower was knowing exactly which hour-long video to direct people to to find Rich Evans making a racist joke.

The choice of Rammstein for trailer music is almost as jarring considering that incident as the "ARE YOU READY KIDS?" tweet for the Spongebob game

If you're referring to Rammstein, then no, I would say the contrary, that they're anti-fascist. If you're saying the people who are actually working on this game, I'd also say no. If you're referring to the people who are at the head of THQNordic and its related parent company, then I'd say that they're overt Nazis

Because honestly, I don't care about "losing" some internet argument, but I damn sure want to know where you stand on that. Tell me it's wrong to dox them.

 

Concern trolling?  That's a ban.

[benjipwns]

The idea that Nazis and their collaborators will cease doxxing people just because people of the left won't is a laughable notion at best and basically the last decade of the internet stands in evidence against it. Who do you think was doing the doxxing first?

wow, good question

according to Wikipedia, the oldest known doxing is:

After the St. Louis Cardinals lost the 1985 World Series, umpire Don Denkinger became a victim of this when two St. Louis disc jockeys publicly revealed his telephone number and home address.

[benjipwns]

In 2016, Fox Business news anchor Lou Dobbs revealed the address and phone number of Jessica Leeds, one of the women who accused American presidential candidate Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual advances; Dobbs later apologized.

lol

[benjipwns]

The term "dox" entered mainstream public awareness through media attention attracted by Anonymous, the Internet-based group of hacktivists and pranksters who make frequent use of doxing,[32] as well as related groups like AntiSec and LulzSec. The Washington Post has described the consequences for innocent people incorrectly accused of wrongdoing and doxed as "nightmarish".[33]

In December 2011, Anonymous exposed detailed information of 7,000 members of law enforcement in response to investigations into hacking activities.[5]

In November 2014, Anonymous began releasing the identities of members of the Ku Klux Klan.

I'm not surprised to learn that even if we used the very loose and incorrect usage in addition to the "ALL THINGS ARE BINARY" mandate that ResetERA.com uses that it's likely the opposite of their version of history. With Anonymous first doxxing Nazis and then doxxing KKK members.

Oh, so some nobody. But I'm not surprised that Ars would have someone like that among him.

Mod Admiral's Top Favorite Bans (and one warning) For Today:

User Banned (3 Days): Persistent and repeated instances of subtle trolling over a series of posts in this thread

i remember paul pierce being wheelchaired off the court so he could take a shit

this feels passive aggressive

User Warned: Reinforcing Stereotypes

User Banned (1 Week): Inappropriate joke, history of inappropriate commentary

I'd take Global Illumination and 60fps. I might have a 4K tv, but I like my games the same way I like my women, pretty, smooth, and chained in my basement

I reported a guy for doxxing me on their profile for months and they didn't do anything so maybe valve doesn't really care at all

Actually - just to call out "Steam doesn't Moderate" - just the other day, a user here - InquisitorAles, mentioned on discord how someone was plagiarising his long form reviews - it took less than 10 minutes for 6 reports to get the reviews and user banned, and we mused of how this would be a fun example to point out. I'm sure he can verify that for you.

User banned (duration pending): antagonizing another member over their experiences with harassment and doxxing

Good to know that reviews are more important than my deadname and address

Post the steam ticket to prove it. It's super easy to do, as you should know.

Here's what I got:

User Banned (Permanent): Repeated and unrelenting history of inflammatory commentary and trolling; numerous accumulated infractions

Are you guys going post a new thread whenever Huawei sign a new 5G deal in a new country?

The US is not going to stop Huawei from doing business outside of NA and the 5 eyes countries. Both Germany and France have already said they won't ban Huawei.

Of course, they have to defend their masters at every opportunity.

User banned (5 days): Signal-boosting a banned member's post.

engagement metrics on my content are unstoppable, you should see the numbers I'm seeing

Much like I do ResetERA.com, I will continue to boycott them unless I follow a link to there and also continue pirating their content by blocking their ads.

In all seriousness, Ars Technica did a terrible job on even doing a cursory search on his social profile. Like holy shit, do a background check at least.

The guy has been writing in the field for 20 years (please correct me if I misunderstood this - edit : 10 years at Ars, wasn't a pro writer before that but in the digital induatry) and was a "known quantity", before even the social media age, as far as his skill, competence, ability to deliver and probably a friend / acquaintance / part of the social circle in some capacity.

I mean what would a "background check" even turn up ? That he had a bunch of racy / saucy / bad taste tweets (obnoxiously so), a loud online persona and kind of an asshole maybe ? None of it has any bearing on his capacity to work. Being abrasive might even be considered a good thing for an outline outlet, that's a pretty common character that can stoke audience engagement.

Unless there's some shady shit happening at ArsTechnica, there's no link between his employment and the twisted illegal shit he's accused of. I'm a bit mellow at the idea of "background checks" conducted by employers as a panacea.

TLDR Hindsight is 20/20.

How to discuss things on RE:

Not downplaying sexual assault since I have been a victim of it several times in my life, but which part of the scene is specifically provocative of sexual assault? In comparison to say Red Sparrow, Outlander or Precious? This just seems like a dirty old man being provocative.

- Before someone gets out the pitchforks and torches and reports this post, I'm merely delving into subjectivity, themes and topics and trying to understand how it can be comparative to significantly stronger and actually shown cases of sexual assault in film. I am in no way condoning sexual assault. I am trying to understand the context.

RedMercury with his dumbshit "It's not what you do, it's who you do it to" legal analysis again.
Where do you draw the line RM? Is it okay to rape a racist?

People aren't saying "You should not conduct yourself in this manner, and the fact they are a bad person does not excuse behaving like that" because there's a 'truce'.

They are saying that because doing bad things to bad people makes you a bad person. Because you are doing bad things.
Thats how you can tell someone is a bad person. They do bad things.

"Oh, I did bad things because they are bad, look double negative, it cancels out my bad things being bad" isn't how ethics work. You're literally just victim blaming.

like, these tweets are highly ironic given what transpired but they're not signs of anything, so what are we supposed to get out of this? this is basically the gamergate/alt-right playbook of searching someone's social media history for bad keywords and posting the results en masse regardless of context.

arguing about the age of consent - legit concerning. dunking on pizzagate? not concerning. his handle was created way before pizzagate existed, there's no connection.

I think we'll disagree here, those tweets are terrible and a I realize a personal account shouldn't be a reflection on a company, but just the jailbait tweets alone would should have alerted a company this would have been a risky hire. Bright isn't some shock jock, he's was supposed to be a tech writer.
