[Himu]

For that to happen, at this rate, we need a gaming era purge (or a new site).

GAMERCIDE

Please.

[benjipwns]

WE GOT IT EVERYBODY, WE'RE DONE

Site has been bleeding POC and women for awhile now

CONGRATS TO ALL WHO WORKED SO HARD FOR THIS

[BisMarckie]

Not so bold prediction:
There will be one significant splinter site before the 2020 election

[Himu]

I truly feel for Era staff. What is Cerium doing over there?

[Potato]

REEE would be a pretty good place to discuss videogames is you could just get rid of a few of the more militant political communities like the BCT, LGBTI,  the anime pedos, the weird fuckers who have grave concerns about women's carotid arteries, the pro-burka brigade who want women to cover up their ankles, the US politics thread community, the upper-middle class socialists, the people who take Disney properties too seriously, the idiots who feel the need to tell actual people who are suffering under a despot that they are wrong about the situation in their own country, the mental health problem oversharers...

Oh and the mods and admins.

[james]

If hes smart, he will start the splinter forum under another name and monetize both

[BisMarckie]

NOW IS THE TIME TO UNBAN FILLER AND BENJI!

Oh and the mods and admins.

If you want to hear a bunch of straight cis white males talk about how they hate black people and women you have NeoGAF.com. Maybe I dunno. I couldn't tell you as I am still unfairly banned much like filler and Cauliflower of Love. This despite me creating the Donald Trump 2016 OT, the ultimate straight cis white male privilege.

[ResetBanBot]

Imagine being a cis women on ResetEra constantly having to censor yourself and placate troons who find your very existence to be triggering. Where if your opinion's don't fall in like you're a stupid coon token-woman being used as a meat-puppet by men.

[Potato]

For that to happen, at this rate, we need a gaming era purge (or a new site).

GAMERCIDE

Yep, that'll work. Get rid of the only people who actually discuss videogames on your videogame board.

NeoGAF would be a great place to discuss videogames if you could just get rid of the Nazis, MRAs, incels.......

Fuck it, you get the idea.

[benjipwns]

imagine being so lame that you go to your one special thread where there's no real actual topic just people jerking each other off and you complain about a forum and say things like we should make our own forum with blackjack and hookers and you don't instead you just post endlessly and pathetically in this one single thread criticizing an entire forum over and over and over and yet you never know if sabrina actually is okay or not

[benjipwns]

like this dude:

I do not blame anyone for peacing out, I'm a cis hetero white dude and I get exhausted by people being shitty about a wide variety of topics around here.

Can't imagine how exhausting it might be if it's talking about shit that impacts your everyday life.

[ResetBanBot]

Why don't they go to MetaCouncil?

So what youre saying is....

[Himu]

i don't understand why they are biting the hand that feeds them. They're very much accepted on reset yet they have some agenda against it because it's not "pure". It's insane. Reset bends over backwards for you people and you treat them like this? If I were the mods I'd be pissed tbh.

[benjipwns]

WrassleEra isn't there.

[Potato]

The mods are the source of the problem and perpetrate the belief that there is prejudice on the forum. It's the whole Reds under the beds thing.

[Nintex]

I'm not sure if that's the way to increase empathy for LGBTQ+ people, because, like, sure, with that background info I can see the intent but that's clearly not obvious from the info given in-game.

So much fucking hate at the people mocking others for being concerned about this and getting on their high horse about it.

The response is decent but I feel like you people would have accepted any old shit they said, just like how you all creamed your pants over the shitty non-apology they gave for making transphobic tweets and acting like it completely absolved them.

And yeah I'm angry about this because I've seen all of the CDPR threads so far and seen all the bans and shitty opinions while I try and defend the most vulnerable members of my community and to be mocked for actually giving a shit is just peak non-interested gamer bullshit

As I said in the other thread, I really feel like this is not a satisfying response. It can be, for the folks that are only interested in the game, but the past CDPR actions are still echoing in the back of my head.

It seems like we have two distinct "contexts" here: the context that the designer wants the public to accept, that is, the context that the game is a progressive take on the cyberpunk genre, treating social issues as actual issues and portraying problematic concepts as negative.

Then we have the real world context, which is the fact that CDPR has not positioned themselves as particularly pro-LGBTQ, going so far as having transphobic jokes in their social media more than once. According to RPS, Cyperpunk 2077 is also not very sensitive towards people of color. Maybe that is also part of their discourse that everything in the game is supposed to be portrayed as bad, but it is interesting to note that the trailers have always featured white male protagonism. There's also the fact that their past games have always had more immature portrayals of sexuality, such as in the cards in Witcher 1.

But even if the context proposed by the artist is the one we should consider, there's still the fact that they have not tried to make this a dominant theme at all. This game is colorful, pretty, full of action, violence and Keanu Reeves, but nothing in their portrayal of their own game have made me think that it will tackle social issues, even in a cynical way. It works in GTA, for example, because of the tone. In GTA: San Andreas, you have black voice actors, black writers, black protagonism, etc. This is why, even when it shows racism, the game itself is not characterized as racist.

Or maybe the actual context is a hybrid between their narration of what we should expect and what we've come to expect according to this company's past: an alienated take on social issues that has to put those commentaries aside to show things that they have been trying to sell (cool future, cool guns, hot cyborgs)

what broke these people

The mods are the source of the problem and perpetrate the belief that there is prejudice on the forum. It's the whole Reds under the beds thing.

Why do they think this is a good advertisement for their form of progressivism? They're basically telling everyone that if you don't agree you will be silenced. They're acting like commies while saying,"well, ACKSHULLY that's not REAL communism" and it's hilarious. This does not instill confidence in leftism in any way. I'm not even sure if they're leftist. Their concerns are so vapid.

I mean, look at morrigan... she's convinced there is a conspiracy against women on the very forum she moderates. Seriously? When was the last time anyone said anything remotely sexist on REE that wasn't obviously meant to be taken tongue in cheek?

I can say without a doubt that I have been turned off embracing some leftist ideas because of the crazy that's displayed on that site. My first thought is, "imagine if these crazy fucks ruled the world?"

I fell into a similar mindset. I legitimately started to believe that SJWs are proof that if socialism were done in America they would start putting people in gulags and that socialism is dangerous of because of things like RE and social media platforms.

It took a while but I learned to separate the wheat from the chaff. Essentially, what RE represents isn't even leftism. It's just an outrage culture. Their ideas aren't even mainstream and are laughed by actual mainstream leftists. When you start to look at actual mainstream leftists in positions of power such as AOC, Bernie, and Tulsi I started to believe in progressivism again. But these people on the internet? They're just noise. Stupid, idiotic noise. Don't let them influence your ideals in any shape or form.

[nachobro]

lmao this is still going?

my avvie rocks, dude

cyberpunk also rocks, might give witcher 3 another shot. This time I'll actually buy it rather than bum it off a friend. maybe people can give suggestions on how to enjoy it more this time!

the best advice for enjoying W3 is not to do every sidequest, pick and choose with what sounds interesting. Otherwise the game really becomes a major grind

maybe we could like drop Boogie1488 and his horrible teeth that he kept for some even worse reason from the moon into ResetERA.com and just solve everything, I don't know, Congresswoman-elect Wu is probably the one who needs to handle this

I don‘t think Brianna Wu would know anything about trans issues.

[benjipwns]

pretty sure she's an expert on and experienced in everything

Oh, that's cool. I didn't know where you were on the spectrum, just that places like RE and social media shouldn't be a good indicator of political apparatus and ideology.

[nudemacusers]

Leaving in droves!

It begins...

[benjipwns]

I'll point out that the number of cis people dismissing the topic out-of-hand was significant enough to be moderated heavily. Don't pretend it's not an issue in these discussions. If trans people are actually being treated in a hostile way, I'd recommend reporting it, but being trans or not doesn't have bearing if people are criticizing particular ideas or assertions that do/don't make sense.

oh wow, that must really be serious then

I'm just getting to work and i have a fuckload of stuff to finish today, but I'm really worried I'm just going to sit on my phone laughing at this shit all day..

I just realized that in previous years (including gaf), all the bans would be because of console warring. Now it's because of an in game advert for a fake company.

The Patriots have won. Fucking Kojima was right.

[Averon]

I don't know what it takes to make them happy, or at least satisfied. The mods bend to 95% of their demands, whether it's fair or hypocritical or not. Anyone that dares try to argue against them are banned 90% of the time. They are protected in that they get away with stuff that other members would be perm banned for long ago. Any discussion regarding trans issues, racial issues, feminism, or just politics in general is almost immediately monitored and "massaged" into a certain direction and stays there; anyone that tried to argue different is immediately dogpiled and banned. All conservative voices on the site was essentially purged.

They have all that going for them, but it is still not enough.

[stufte]

This whole idea that only trans women can have dicks is super exclusionary and offensive tbh.

Are women using strap-on's offensive to the REE trans community? What about effeminate gay men in a leotard with a giant cock? Why does the REE trans community think that they own this "issue"?

[benjipwns]

The only lesson people should learn these last days here is to stop doubting concerns from trans and minorities people. But I know it's easier to call them outraged and kick them out of our community like it's already happening. This is the most dissapointing thing in Era right now

Is there another place of discussion with real activity that one could go to?

I wish.

Are these people actually saying that REEE does not protect and cater enough towards their special interest groups?

[nudemacusers]

As it turns out, a community of where insular, melodramatic misanthropes are the loudest voices and rely primarily on “town-square” accusations of duplicity toward one another as a mechanism of resolving any/all conflict, regardless of degree, would be difficult to sustain 

[Himu]

Reset Civil War!

I'm lovin' it, bb's

[stufte]

Are these people actually saying that REEE does not protect and cater enough towards their special interest groups?

Yep, it's because no matter what the mods/admins do, it'll never be enough. Unless there is total purity of thought, it's not going to be enough.

And REE created this, this is the community they curated.

[Himu]

I like how Cerium is nowhere to be found.

EviLore, during major gaf drama would show up.

He needs to set the record straight and lay down some ground rules. It's gone too far.

[benjipwns]

this guy gets it most of all:

I would really love for the new halo game to launch and be a graphical master piece like the original was on the first Xbox. The footage shown has me worried. I think if they can blow people away graphically , the buzz can come back.

But even those who deem themselves "of pure thought" spend the entire time accusing others of having "impure thoughts".

Have these people read 1984, Fahrenheit 451 or Animal Farm? Have they educated themselves about the USSR or the cultural revolution?

[benjipwns]

That really sucks with how things went. I came to this site cause it was insightful and had meaningful discussion while being loose enough to have fun. Obviously the whole design of the site was going to still have people like those who push Kinsei and it pretty bad that it went that far.

Does anyone know if Kinsei has a twitter or anyway for follow their ideas?

i'll have what she's having
