It's not that hard to fight back against capitalist oppression and do your bit. Just order 'Marx for Dummies' from Amazon before the next time you get out of your Super Mario pyjamas to watch Avengers again.

Another ERA sucks for discussion thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/it-feels-like-its-getting-harder-to-discuss-thing-calmly-in-the-gaming-community.135450/

[paprikastaude]

I wonder what the final clue was. That thread about Nintendo animu turning into a fight about police brutality? The fact that, if it didn't go that way, there'd be protected manbabies shitting up the thread by trolling everyone who suggests Nintender things aren't always perfect? The fact that half the community is paranoid enough to sincerely believe gaming side is pro-Trump? Being the only place on the internet that can't discuss the biggest upcoming game without heavy moderation and wanting to cancel Keanu Reeves?

[Nintex]

So the secret to good old-school level design is autism 

[paprikastaude]

Remember how on GAF people would account-suicide by creating troll threads with faking positive news like "Gaben finally hints at Half Life 3"?

On reee this wouldn't even work anymore. To gather proper attention, you'd need to come up with something like "One artist of Tomb Raider says he wants high heels as DLC".

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

While we understand that a lot of this is playing out on social media, we do not need a play-by-play update every time someone tweets at them. Please post only important updates and avoid making the thread look like a twitter feed. A serious topic should be treated with appropriate solemnity.

Oh yes. That dismemberment, those different phases, the combat options that encompass ranged, up close, and high flying. Looks rad in motion.

I'm still out on playing as a cyber-cop protagonist, but I guess there's a chance the game will head in a subversive direction. Just a small chance, as near as I can tell.

Subversion? You know how many fucking games has the theme of “authority figures that you were working for are fucking evil”.

I'm so glad there are better communities out there, be it MetaCouncil or the discord of some private MMO server.

While I dive into Era and 4chan to get shitposts and nostalgic hits of degeneracy, there's definitely a time for a tight knit community of (mostly) stable people willing to have a discussion.

Rose-tinted glasses aside, messageboards have definitely changed. People banged out messages on their keyboards like morons, and with more of an open focus on consolewarring, but even then there was fun to be had in the shitslinging. It's just super exhausting reading all these "internet soldiers" jumping in threads to fight the good fight. On Era you'll even seen Cheebo and those types talk about not wanting [real-world popculture event] to happen because it would mean that they would spend all day posting on Era.

At the end of the day, shit sucks if you're looking for a sizable forum for entertainment or discussion. It's honestly just taxing.

I'm still using reee partially because I'm old and used to this kind of old forum structure, compared to whatever reddit and twitter try to be - even though the people there provide much more normal and relaxed game talk. It's really easy to block out extremists and morons of any side. At least I'm getting the hang of Twitter for game news and the bire provides a bit of game talk too. Still, at this point it's almost not even worth watching reee for the stupidity and the few bits of news I'd miss. They've fostered an extremist community that has become uncomfortably cult-like - I mean, they are celebrating the death of people whose "crime" was to cuss. At this point they've gone beyond irritating fanboyism and hilariously uneducated politics talk. They are just irredeemably bad people that make you feel bad.

It's the same with "death threats" on twitter.  It's bluster or a national threat based on who is receiving it.

Its dumb, but why is it something that means they owe someone an apology?
Whats their actual transgression? They quoted someone else saying something?
From what you say that person is a piece of shit, but they can't apologise on that persons behalf, and it doesn't seem like that one quote is an endorsement of everything else that person says.
Is that where we're at now? If you quote something someone else says, you better be ready to justify everything else about that person in totality, and apologise by proxy?

shut up nazi

Plaintiff Lindsay Amer is the creator and owner of Queer Kid Stuff, a YouTube educational channel created to serve as a support for LGBTQ+ parents, LGBTQ+ children between the ages of 3 and 17, who have questions or face bullying for perceived LGBTQ+ status, and librarians and educators seeking assistance with respect to how to field questions about LGBTQ+ issues and support children affected by LGBTQ+ issues. Mx. Amer has an undergraduate degree in gender studies and theater; and a graduate degree in performance studies.

In 2015, they created the Queer Kid Stuff channel as a vehicle to upload their original video content. On May10, 2016, Mx. Amer uploaded the first Queer Kid Stuff education video. Initially, the video was shared and received roughly 2,000 views without negative comments or reaction videos. Within months of the uploading of the first video, the Huffington Post published a favorable article discussing the video.

...

On September 14, 2016, four months after Mx. Amer uploaded the first video to the Queer Kid Stuff channel, they uploaded the second video. The four month delay between the first and second video was the direct result of the fear and chilling affect that the hate speech allowed and/or promoted by Defendants had on Mx. Amer. Mx. Amer was and continues to be unable to remove that hate speech using Defendants’ available filter tool. Repeated attempts to handle the tidal waves of hate speech that Defendants continue to allow to be directed at the Queer Kid Stuff channel has also interfered with Mx. Amer’s ability to reach and engage with their intended audience.

In total, Queer Kid Stuff published 12 new videos between September 14, 2016 and January 27, 2017. With the uploading of each new video, a new wave of hate speech filled the comments section of the channel. For every positive comment that appeared, dozens of hate-filled comments appeared and pushed the positive comment down the queue so that viewers would only see hate-filled comments when they watched Queer Kid Stuff content.

Despite repeated complaints to Defendants about the hate speech comments, and after devoting considerable efforts to reconfigure the Defendants’ filters to screen them, a number of members of Queer Kid Stuff’s intended audience, including parents, wrote to Mx. Amer complaining about the obscene hateful comments posted on the Queer Kid Stuff channel and informing Mx. Amer, that despite their approval of the intended content on the channel, these parents could not share the quality videos with their children, because it would expose the children to content which they deemed harmful and injurious. One parent wrote:

“I’m really glad that I ran into your channel today, as I found the videos to be easy enough for my 5 year old to enjoy and understand the content. This really is a godsend for me, a trans demi girl who has major problems with panic attacks just trying to address the subject with them. The only thing that I wish would get addressed with your channel would be doing something with the comments section. While it’s great that there are some positive encouragement from some viewers, others turn it into a dumpster fire dipped in cancer. I’m glad that my child can’t read well enough to understand the comments, but I think other children will inherently get exposed to transphobic, ablest, and queerphobic nonsense that may undermine the positive message of the videos.”

Another parent wrote:
“My 7 year old son (who self-identifies as queer) is home from school today. . . We love your channel . . . I wanted to reach out because even though we watch your videos, I have a strict policy against reading YouTube comments. YouTube suggested a bunch of hateful anti-queer videos in response to our watching yours, and as I went through the list to tell YouTube I am not interested in any of these, I ended up reading some of the comments. How disheartening. Talk about homophobia. I am literally crying right now at some of these and am quite glad my son is in the other room, since I’m not sure I’m emotionally up to explain it to him right now. . . .”
