Imagine modding a thread about a hurricane.

Emily Rogers, Nibel95, Sweet Nicole, sirpopopop is no longer an admin either, same for Methuselah, Rowlf (who even requested his ban... Didn't remember that. That's, huh, something).

That's 2/3 of the original admins out not even 2 years in. Plus the constant revolving door for mods. What the fuck is even happening behind the scenes, Jesus.

The Israeli media is reporting on the reporting on the Arab media on their front pages.
This almost certainly mean that they know it's true but can't report of it because of the military censor. You can tell by the way they word it.

Like topics on John Carmack interviews or original sources on E3 leaking attendees personal information

when relitigating the 2016 primaries for the billionth time gets too real:
User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory Community Attacks and Antagonizing Other Users Over Multiple Posts

PoliERA is one of the worst places I've ever discussed politics online, and there's a lot of bad places I've tried to discuss politics online.

You all are so damn up your own asses that you clearly are incapable of even trying to understand anyone not inside your bubble.

Unless there's something really intriguing to the plot that the trailers completely omit (and I am generally aware at this point of who gets killed), this movie really seems to me like a case of style that tricks people into feeling like there's substance.

I always hope to be wrong when thinking a movie looks bad or mediocre, so I hope I'm wrong but... yeesh, does that trailer make it look like the socioeconomic aspects are going to be superficial at best, and completely embarrassing at worst.

They missed the Captain Marvel review thread by five and a half months or so. Impressive.

It would be ironic if the 233 million dollars brought in partly to resurrect Squadron 42 type of space combat campaign games would encourage to turn focus away from future single player games by the 460 million dollars valued Cloud Imperium Games.
I can appreciate that English isn't your first language, it's not mine either, there's nothing wrong with that.
But why do you consistently talk like a press release?

I have many complaints, lol. 1) The hypocrisy of complaining about crunch, but then gleefully mocking a delay, 2) the inherently paternalistic "you shouldn't be able to buy what I don't subjective value" arguments, or 3) the fact that SC is a referendum on videogame monetization on Resetera bc there are so few ppl to defend it.

 :social2
It's so fantastical to suddenly shield behind employee welfare when the criticisms are pointedly made at the obvious mismanagement and poor planning.
Actually for the little we know through rumors, labor conditions at CIG aren't exactly ideal and crunch do happen at points.

I don't think there's a galaxy big enough to hold some of the big brains in that Joker thread
Quote
Personally this film seems like a shit interpretation of Joker designed to speak to those who have coopted him as a symbol of hate and misogyny, all while having zero subtlety with its toxic message.

And to be very honest with you all, I'm more displeased that my kiddie comic crap is being misrepresented, even if this film is high art or something than I am with the message this movie sends.
Quote
Oh wow, looks like "I can't get laid and the world is unfair to me so I'm allowed to be an asshole: the movie". I also think that comparing it to Taxi Driver etc. is misleading, since this one is set in a fantasy world.
Quote from: Nepenthe
The "personal discomfort" is essentially the idea that the film adds- however slightly- to a landscape of white victimization that gets people killed. But again, this isn't all that brainy a take. The character himself has always lent easily to these themes, and the film is unfortunately surrounded by an environment of right-wing fuckery the entire world over.
Quote
Can anyone direct me to a review that talks about the optics of Joker being a misunderstood white dude who "rises up" with a bunch of other isolated, troubled people? I don't want spoilers I just wanna know this movie is coming from a good place
Quote from: Nepenthe
It's like we didn't watch Lindsay Ellis discuss Mel Brooks. And now people are suddenly acting as if those concepts are irrelevant to a film that-to some degree- sympathizes with a lunatic not unlike the lunatics running around right now causing actual, irreparable harm to minorities.
Quote
Quote
So this is basically "Incel: The Movie" then?
What’s the point of this movie then? I thought maybe it will build towards that. Lame..
Quote from: Nepenthe
Incels and bigots are not inspired by anything and everything. They become more active and bold when we create environments that are to some degree tolerable to their ideals. Why in the world do you think ResetERA is not an alt-right haven like other- sometimes even official- video game enthusiast outlets? It's because we all- staff and members alike- make sure to try and stomp that mess out when we see it. We make it hard for them here.
Quote
This is what we need. I am immensely excited for this movie, but ultimately it's about a man's actions when he himself is so intensely oppressed by society. It's important to hear from the voices of those who in all actuality bare that pain because of their skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or all of the above.
Quote from: Nepenthe
Like, I'm just...really fucking disappointed. And tired. And annoyed.
Quote
If we are going to talk about the themes of this film and what it means to those oppressed in our society, it's good to highlight the voices of the people within those groups.
Quote from: Nepenthe
My problem is not about the film's existence so much as the open hostility towards people criticising its potential thematic ambiguity in a time where people are honestly sick to death with society sympathizing with white male murderers. Joker is and always will be an inherently deplorable character and any work focusing solely on him is going to touch these kinds of themes, so it shouldn't really be shocking to anyone that these takes are happening in an era of increased focus on how these values are directly contributing to social harm, compared to, say, pre-Trump eras where you could have the veneer of unbridled progressivism
Quote
There was this guy in the other Joker thread arguing American History X should not have been made because Nazi's liked that one curbstomp scene in it.
Quote from: Nepenthe
I'm telling audiences to allow minorities the room to feel naturally uncomfortable with films that sympathize or even go "apolitical" with characters like the Joker in a period of time where Joker-esque folks are snapping and shooting us to death on the regular
Quote
Now people express concern over the handling of it's themes in Joker, despite any merit in it's art, and people want to completely dismiss any criticism likening it to video games inciting violence.

There is one thing about making Taxi Driver and another about making a mainstream Taxi Driver where your "anti-hero" is an unambiguous villain and it's nihilism is being pushed as both art and cynically by a corporation trying to cash in on it's brand. This is the same villain that has a weird sort of worship of Ledger's Joker from certain circles and where your could actually point to some inspiration due to the Aurora shooting during a The Dark Knight Rises screening by a guy who "was a fan of superheroes, including Batman, and his apartment was even decorated with Batman paraphernalia", who came into court with bright red-dyed hair reminiscent of a clown, whose ex-girlfriend said "their breakup contributed to his violent depression", who was quoted as saying of his shooting "Terrorism isn't the message. The message is, there is no message," and who had undertreated mental health issues.

WB decided this same villain needed his own movie with a backstory that fed directly into narratives of society picking on a neglected loner, treatment of the mentally ill, rejection of love by women and others, and in the end, it's an origin story for a murderer
Quote
Sounds to me it will be a movie with very little substance with a great performance and gripping moments for people who don't want to think a little deeper, as well as one for incel-like individuals to latch on to.
Quote
I would like there to be some balance. More than just the audience realizing that violence/murder/joker=bad.

Did we talk about how Era updated their TOS with a Corporate Mission Statement yet?

Why the fuck didn't we talk about resetterradotcomellellsees corporate mission statement yet?

Since its founding in late 2017, ResetEra has been an inviting bonfire at the crossroads of the gaming industry. Our goal is to provide a modern platform where enthusiasts and industry professionals alike will want to talk about all kinds of video games -- and everything else under the sun. Safeguarded by technology, a vigilant staff, and some of the toughest registration screening of any public forum, ResetEra has been able to cultivate a highly active and passionate community while keeping most trolls and bad actors off of the site.

Today ResetEra is the most popular independent gaming forum on the internet as measured by traffic. It is also an inclusive space that proudly welcomes members of every gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Respect and decency towards each other, regardless of background, is nonnegotiable. Posters are expected to enter discussions in good faith.

In order to maintain the community that we all cherish, moderators are tasked with upholding this mission statement. The following document aims to provide guidance that can help members be successful posters over the long term. Please note that attempting to use the following text as a shield while violating its spirit (or the mission statement) will not protect you. We include as much detail here as possible, but it is impossible to cover every subject that might require moderation or every exception that might be made.

It is pretty hilarious that Joe Rogan is banned but Polanski is okay

There's just not logic to what type of persons RE bans

Maybe if Joe Rogan was a pedophile, they would accept him again.

I have no idea how can anyone even think that we're supposed to feel any kind of sympathy for Travis in Taxi Driver or consider him an hero. Where is this narrative even coming from? Have they ever actually watched the movie?

whats the point? de niro, foster and keitel have never starred in the MCU, and scorsese never directed for it
These other movie companies are just in the way of Disney's 2019 $10 billion box office goal.

They'd better go bankrupt before the holiday season IMO

there's a weird narrative around whether people are supposed to identify with the protagonist or not

like the movie doesn't do enough to let you know he's a bad guy when he obviously fucking is

every media with detestable protagonists you have morons not getting the hint that they're bad but that doesn't mean it's the show's responsibility

"Always Sunny doesn't do enough to communicate to the audience the gang are bad people  :'("

"people are worshipping Walter White as if he isn't committing unspeakable crimes  :'("

no one has any agency or personal responsibility

instead studios need to self censor

oh wait

What even is censorship anymore? According to RE it's not even censorship when it's done to appease a ratings board

Quote
Making minor changes to art and characters for changing cultural norms or to meet new rating board standards isn't a good argument for censorship.

Instead of arguing why they think it's necessary to be censored they make up new definitions

Can people ever rise above their worst actions? On the internet the answer to that question is no. If you did something bad but you turned your life around you'll likely never amount to more than who you were at your worst online.

I can't say what Quinn's objective was in her actions but I can say what the result was. That lead to a chain of events that ended a person's life. That's a hell of a thing to go to sleep at night knowing you contributed to in any way at all. People need to reflect on this the next time someone decides to go on Twitter and make a post to expose someone. You have to know that when you do something like that you will ruin someone else possibly for the rest of their life because online people will always be held to their worst.

I'm shocked, appalled and flabbergasted at your comment. A man committed suicide to elevate himself to martyrdom after sexually predating many unidentified women and abusing Quinn to the point of closing the game industry doors on her face, for many studios. And it worked! This despicable man decided to become the new face of GooberGutter by indirectly incriminating zoe of something she didn't mean to happen. Consequences don't matter. Her follower count and power dynamics in the industry don't matter! LISTEN AND FUCKING BELIEVE. OFF WITH YOU, BIGOT!!!!!111


PS: I should make a Reee account with this persona. I'd probably end up in the cool kid circle.

ResetEra is controlled by a cabal of dorks drunk on the power of being able to ruin people’s lives from behind the safety of a keyboard as some kind of cathartic revenge for being swirlied a couple of times in middle school.

I lean toward believing Zoe Quinn’s claims and she has every right to speak out but justice belongs in the courts and not on Twitter. And justice certainly isn’t meant to be unilaterally dispensed by the mob.

Those fools really did get a taste for killing after Etika.

but only 1% of these cases taken to court actually result in justice  :'(

and the mob didn't do anything at all, he chose to take his own life, both quinn and the mob are blameless in what happened  :'(

There is a certain schadenfreude in seeing Quinn shamed into leaving twitter, but if you're against 'cancel culture' you'd have to be a hypocrite to think that she deserves the same tarring and vilification that Holowka got. Only morons believe in eye-for-an-eye.

she didn't leave are you kidding

she's coming right back

I think you have 30 days, you can come right back like nothing happened and have all your tweets and followers and everything

and if you have a blue checkmark you have like an entire year to do that before you're really deleted

The only thing I want for her is to actually be questioned in a trial based on her and others vague accusations which led to a social pressure that made a vulnerable individual commit suicide. Law should 100% be involved in what happened.
