I don't see the point in reopening the thread if everyone who doesn't think it's blackface is just gonna be banned. There's no more discussion to be had here.

Someone pls think of the blackface defenders

I'm not really defending anything, I just think the thread has run its course at this point. What more can, actually, be said outside of "it's blackface, she deserved it"?

I’ve only worn masks of white political figures, but are masks of non-white political figures inherently racist? I’m asking sincerely.

Is appearing racist really a prime worry, while you're robbing a bank?

"It’s not even makeup but a bodysuit. Personally I find it a lot worse, since why would anyone make a suit - not to cosplay some fantasy figure - but a black person. That’s beyond fucked up in my opinion."

But... it is... a fantasy figure?

A hidden benefit of @AndrewYang’s plan to tax big data is the aggregation of large data sets will have to be quantified and reported.

why can't there be a separate SJ thread?

Because every single thing that you all want to discuss in there is already discussed ad nauseum in here. All it would do is further fragment the community to no real effect.

i don't think this is true at all.

There a million and one separate anime threads. i don't see why more rules should be imposed on manga threads. You can say that you don't want it but there has been support for a Jump OT and you can't deny that.

I'm not about to argue this, but do you see an OT for specific anime production studios? How about for Marvel or DC comics? How would discussion in a WSJ thread be fundamentally different than in this thread? And remember, this community used to be a WSJ OT until everyone wanted the freedom to discuss other series and it was turned into what it is now. What happens when someone decides they want to talk about what happened in Komi-san or Ippo or JoJo in that thread? It will just default to a general manga thread over time just like this one did. The exact same thing will happen and we'll have two general manga threads.

I've been really nice about letting people go off-topic in other threads and discuss other series where they shouldn't be, technically all that should have been in here.

I don't buy this. I wrote in the OT itself what people can discuss in it. If people discussed other things and went against the purpose of the thread, I or others would've just directed them to more appropriate threads. It's not uncommon knowledge what is and isn't published in Shonen Jump and even for those who don't, I listed every single weekly series and the non-weekly ones. This not only makes me feel like the thread was cut off way too early before it could even settle into its own place and make clear to people what it's for like I've said but also just that you didn't read the OT and just closed it down as soon as you saw the thread instead of trying to see why it can have a place. And that is displeasing considering the effort I put into it.

Oh, I read it but my point still stands. And, fyi, I'm not derailing with this anymore and you shouldn't either.

Oh, I read it but my point still stands. And, fyi, I'm not derailing with this anymore and you shouldn't either.

No it does not at all. You just projected your own fears onto the thread before even giving it a chance to establish itself as well giving its users the chance to make clear for others what can go in it in addition to what the OP does. I'm not gonna stop talking about this when clearly there is support for it, clearly there is confusion over its closure and supposed redundancy. People have expressed a desire for a place where they don't have to worry about leaks too. Come on.

I just discovered a Bon Appetit thread today(and for the record I love their recipes) but there is also a cooking thread, and a baking thread already. Like I said, Era is already bad at duplications.

I suppose they should combined the MCU thread and the DCEU thread into a Superhero movie thread since there's no need to divide up that community

I'd like to discuss Jump chapters but I hardly ever do it here or in the individual threads because of early leaks

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Enough with the derail. If you have any moderation complaints either use PMs or the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page.

User Banned (1 month): hostility, ignoring the modpost
B-Dubs
Since you've clearly read my PM I sent after you asked to send moderation complaints privately and there is no answer despite me trying to keep this private, Imma be real damn clear and real damn public here.

Simply put, it's a BAD FUCKING LOOK for you to be not just a moderator but an administrator on this site that claims to have strict rules on piracy and do what you did to the SJ thread.

This is a site where piracy in general is frowned upon and people can get banned or threads can be closed for the mere suggestion that they've done it no matter the reasons or circumstances. We can see an example of it here in this thread with people reminiscing about emulation that you personally closed because it amounted to admission and/or advocating of piracy.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-emulation-scene-in-the-90s-was-revolutionary-for-video-game-history-fans.137952/#post-24045761

Yet you're the same admin who looks the other way on many manga threads whose foundations are built on this because of the history of late manga localizations. Not only that, you actively admit to piracy yourself weekly in these threads.

The time people brought up the hypocrisy in the way the site has handled manga piracy and the way discussion of illegal chapters has been normalized, you ducked out of the conversation. That's a bad look on its own, a worse one when we consider the thread linked above that you closed yourself. You are a hypocrite as an admin.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/manga-ot-no-matter-how-i-look-at-it-its-discords-fault-were-not-popular.9291/page-203#post-24918398

And now, I make one manga thread on this site where the rules of this site are actually respected, one thread that can legitimately be taken seriously on this front while not having to disrupt the rules and habits in other threads and that's the one thread you close? Because apparently, that one is redundant despite the clear support it's had and despite the fact that you didn't even give it a chance to settle in yet all these other threads normalizing discussion of illegally released material that those who prefer reading officially have to steer clear from are fine and you let those fly, actively partaking yourself? It's fine to be a hypocrite but it's not fine to have a thread about a particular magazine?

I'll say it again. It is a bad fucking look for you to do what you've done. It's hard to take you seriously as an administrator of this site.

If this is somehow bannable despite just wanting a thread for discussion of legally released material and despite me telling you this privately and you not responding, then whatever, you've already lost whatever credibility you had in my eyes anyway.

You sent that PM less than three hours ago, at a time when we are dealing with an unusually large number of reports. It's very disappointing that you would escalate in this manner just because you weren't catered to immediately.

If you had waited for B-Dubs to reply, he would have told you that he had already been working on a potential official releases thread and was trying to iron out the kinks before launching it. After receiving your message, he promptly brought the issue to the attention of the rest of the staff, and we were actively discussing the best way to get this done -- right up until you decided to exacerbate the situation with insults and personal attacks.

It's not clear what you believed you would achieve with this, but let the record show that this is not how you get what you want.

I'm just going to throw it out there; Why didn't he just mention that? A lot of the issues the past hours could have been resolved by saying "I hear you, I'm talking it over with the other administrators."

He was dealing with other very urgent reports while juggling his real life. He was going to send an update as soon as we had details to convey. No one expected nuclear escalation after less than three hours because generally members do not do that.

So reading the latest stadia black magic thread, I see the resident shill alucard hard at work, and he mentions he’s not even in a supported area for stadia?! He’s been shilling this whole time for a service that doesn’t even want to bother with his country, and he hopes Elon Musks low orbit satellite fantasy will save him? Hell even my connection to GeForce now is half the latency of his too!

I checked that resetera analytics page, it's weird that this "unusually large number of very urgent reports" didn't result in any bans. Unless the site is broken.

[Nuitangg]

Very urgent reports and juggling his real life.

I assume he's talking about the blackface thread that they had to lock and massacre. There were 30 actions in that thread alone, putting it in the top 25 all-time.

As a dual citizen from a tennis-obsessed 75% Asian household, this is going to be a thing all week. Still if you're ever gonna give up US citizenship without being booed at tournaments, now's probably the time to do it with panache and sympathy.

User Banned (1 Week): Excusing Blackface

Amazing costume.
Looking at the graveyard this thread has left behind, I'll refrain from expressing my opinion on whether this was ok or not, which would seem like an unpopular opinion here.

User Banned (permanent): xenophobia, defending authoritarian regimes engaging in violence against their own populace

This happens every time and it's honestly pretty sickening.

The very idea that huge masses of people, in the most populous country in the world, could be "brainwashed" or "controlled" is racist and xenophobic rhetoric itself, and it's disgusting. Mainland Chinese people are not any less intelligent, educated, "free-thinking" etc than you. There is no such thing as large-scale national "brainwashing"- you just think that you and yours are more intellectually capable and "freer" than Chinese people are. That's the exact same yellow peril rhetoric the west has regurgitated for a long time.

The fact that many mainland Chinese people support the CPC and don't want western model democracy is only so incredibly hard to accept if you believe, totally uncritically, that the West is the greatest and therefore it's common sense that everyone should want to imitate it and to overthrow governments which oppose it.

Hong Kong "protestors" have brutally attacked the elderly who challenge their uncivil behavior and anti-PRC positions, destroyed people's shop fronts and livelihoods who they suspect to be pro-PRC, etc. But they are covered by western media as saints begging for freedom because their interests align with the imperial interests of the U.S and it's allies. They don't wave the colonial union jack for nothing.

I wouldn't say you can give all credit to the Mod Admiral, but is clear that the Mod Admiral provides stability in these troubled waters.

The defense I've seen most often is that it's not paint it's a full costume, but that's no different. It's using darker skin as a costume.

And this isn't about being offended, or being too sensitive. Black people are systemically oppressed and the vast majority of white people will never understand what this feels like.

Imagine being someone living under that oppression, who goes through life feeling it from other human beings, seeing people who look like them murdered by police, hearing the hate of white supremacy, seeing the privilege of their white friends and knowing they will never obtain that freedom... then seeing a white person put on their skin as a costume for fun, not only that but that same person lashing out with their privilege when they're called out for it...

Too sensitive? I can't imagine the strength it takes honestly.

I may not understand what it feels like, but thankfully I now know what it LOOKS like when contexualized:

[Averon]

Shinobi bailing out is understandable. Not only did he admit he didn't bother to vote in 2016, but his just admitted to raising a racist kid. How could he show his face on ERA or have a leadership position on ERA after that? Honestly, he never seemed comfortable being part of the 'woke brigade' ERA is all about now. He's far more comfortable being a shill for companies, Bioware in particular. He could never transition like Loudninja did, which being both a shill and part of the ERA woke mentality at the same time.

He also has an actual job as PR with some game company now.

Considering how they tried to precancel his Escapist series and his inability to not tweet shit like about his ugly racist kid, he probably started to feel some of these Twitter driven controversies for company PR flacks that his forum is engrossed in were starting to hit close to home.

The original claims about blackface are so fucking dumb though.it was clear that being a woman trying to look like a male character, prosthetics were going to be a part of the cosplay. And when that point is reached, why would you paint prosthetics of any color but the character's? We truly live in a society
