Next up on era

If one trans person says this show had a transphobic episode  Any doubter will be banned for 2 weeks minimum .
To partake in a show is transphobic thread. You can only agree that it is or else do not participate because you will be banned

Future Dave Chappelle show thread: first 5 posts : “great show, chappelle killed it”. Trans member posts #6 post in thread: “but Chapelle is transphobic” . Mod issues staff post on post #7: “anyone who praises this show will be banned because Chappell is a transphobe, I have changed the topic to showcase that “

If this is the case at least they'll get it out of the way faster.

You ever take a step back and think what does being LGBT have to do with moderating a video game forum?

There's nothing wrong with it, especially from their point of view on representation, the problem is two fold. One they are demanding an affirmative action course correction in which 40+% of the staff must be TA rather than represent their actual percentage of the population which would be closer to a single admin and a couple mods. Second, they're stupid.

[Tripon]

A bunch of angry white women railroaded a gay black man. And they're howling for more diversity? How is the BCT not on fire?

I still think it's wild that the white women accused the gay black man of promoting White Feminism.

Hey there everyone, I’m here right now and I have a lot of things that I want to say about this whole situation. First of all, I want to thank all of you who sent me kind messages both within these threads and on discord as I really appreciate them! There are so many times where I look at the state of the society that we live in and question the impact that one person can have against the tide of bigotry and mental health stigma that exists, and comments like yours do a lot to alleviate those concerns!

As for the big accusation, there’s a lot to say about this. First and foremost, I want to make it clear that I did not invade Robin (my girlfriend’s) privacy to look through her private discords, messages, or anything else. I am not interested in being the kind of person that can not be trusted in the most basic ways, and it was shocking for me to see staff assume that I would do that so quickly. When I made that initial post talking about moderation and the issues that exist within it, I posted some information that was from a private staff discord. I knew it was from there, and I chose to post it publicly instead of going to them in private or attempting to find a real solution to it. I regret posting it in that manner as I never had any intention of starting any large scale drama about this incident, and I chose to keep the names private for the safety of the moderation team. However, I now see that I didn’t put as much consideration into that as I should have to begin with. There are quite a few places that exist off-site purely to document and harass notable people on this forum, and that includes people on the moderation team as they tend to stand out more. I have dealt with harassment from these people as being a minority or part of a vulnerable group seems to make you a target for them, and this is doubly true for minority staff members. I was hurt and disappointed that people that I consider close friends believed that I was capable of this, but they’re not bad people for thinking this. They’re just scared. And I don’t fault them for that.

The reasons that they provided in that initial thread detailed a history of suspicions that I was looking into their discord as well as that I knew some moderation terminology that was used behind the scenes. In the email that I sent, I referenced a very specific thing that is used however this specific term is one that is an open secret of sorts and I’ve seen it used in quite a few places. Throughout this investigation that occurred, I was never once contacted or informed what any of these suspicions were actually about, so as of this moment, I am still unaware of what they are and unable to comment on them. It’s hard to hear that there’s evidence against you that you aren’t allowed to see, but again keep in mind that at this point they’re still concerned for their privacy and unsure if they can trust me. I don’t blame them for wanting to avoid more of that, especially as they went looking for that conversation and did not feel the same way about it. I was assured by someone on the team who I deeply trust and is LGBT that the claim that this statement and the person who made them were against asexuals was incorrect and a misunderstanding.

And I do want to reiterate here at the end, I left out the names on both of those issues in my post for a reason. I understand the desire for wanting to know who said what in these conversations, but the way that this desire has manifested is worrying. There are mistakes that have been made by the moderation team throughout this whole ordeal as I know all too well. But at the same time, we can not realistically expect the people who moderate this website to feel safe when people are digging through their personal lives looking for anything that can be used.

I regret posting that line the way that I did and I’m sorry for all the headache that this has caused both you as users and the staff throughout this ordeal.

someone read this and give me spark notes

mods help

While Ketkat's political capital is at an all-time high she should demand the name of that truscum anonymous confessor.

[shosta]

There's still no answer as to why the bore dot com's avatars were stretched in a disgusting and threatening manner for a whole six minutes last night. I didn't feel safe at all during that time and I'm constantly worried it's going to happen again.

[Averon]

As long as it doesn't create some tier of forum celebrity users that, because of popularity, become borderline unbannable because of guaranteed appeal support or whatever.

Ketkat did just that, and not just a ban but a perm ban at that, so....too late

lol, I edited it out because even I had second thoughts and thought it was too mean.

[benjipwns]

Imagine how many minorities fled, or worse, died because a pillar of the community was temporarily permanently banned. I probably won't feel safe enough to post on ResetERA.com again until the next kerfuffle organized on Discord.

I don't feel safe here anymore because of this happening. I signed up for thebore.org in protest.

Wait a minute: My post is pending moderator review? What kind of authoritarian hellhole are you building there?

[shosta]

Fixed!

I think you're mistaken. There are no protected users on Resetera.

[benjipwns]

User Banned (Duration Pending): Conspiracy theories, ignoring staff messages, numerous previous infractions

User banned (duration pending): History of hostility towards members and staff, posting private messages with other users as a personal attack

Trans people are among society's most vulnerable, as this thread highlights. I hope - at least in America - we can work together during the next administration to ensure a federal government who can help protect them.

lol even when the thread highlights the complete opposite they still [talking points]

[Jenkem]

it's called internalized misogyny, bigot.

[shosta]

that sounds serious, hopefully her week ban for SAYING WHAT KIND OF GAMES SHE WANTS straightens her out

[Hermit]

The US is a long way off from ensuring trans folx are accepted and actively protected.

Shit, my aunt who is an extremely tolerant and level headed individual (or at least I thought) is apparently a transphobe. Can't imagine how many others in this country think like her.

[benjipwns]

Probably an alt-righter lying about being "Female" anyway, then running back to KiwiGAF claiming this is "proof" of ResetERA.com's hatred of women and minorities. Which is true, and all over the forum, but this is not an example of.

[benjipwns]

Not surprised that shosta would signal boost something like that. Once being part of a hateful bigoted moderation team.

[PogiJones]

TBF, she did take her preferences and generalize it, accurately or not, to her sex. Through the lens of RE, saying "women generally like this" or "women generally don't like that" looks like sexism.

Unless, of course, she'd said women don't like boob armor, which of course is truth, not sexism.

[remy]

fuck me, this one's awesome

Typical biological female sexism probably. probably a TERF 

[zepblackstar]

so I get this straight.

A Black gay mod was kicked by a cabal of Transgender white people because the black gay mod was frustrated by whiny transgender white people and others agreed who were also kicked out of modship...

right?

No he was kicked out because a different ( I PRESUME WHITE CIS MALE    ) mod didn't like asexual people and they sniped a transgender whistleblower in the cover up

Correct, except for the last bit. Volimar willingly stepped down (according to him anyway), but Royalan was by far the sacrificial lamb for this dust up.

I tried changing a setting and things got borked (I didn't see it!), so I changed it back.

I think we're all forgetting that Nepenethe changed her avatar in solidarity.

[BisMarckie]

You do know the site gets like 40K plus a month off ads alone right? Then clear is another giant bomb size subscription which goes towards nothing. So if GB can do all that with the subprice where is it going for us when do we see the improvements the money could bring? Anything lol.

I think this thread has run its course.

[benjipwns]

I agree with both of these and I want to say that I'd want edit history that anyone can see on a post. If it get edited we wanted to know how many times and if it's staff let us know, because you guys have hidden edits and it's sorta crazy ya'll haven't brought that up.

Just one last thing to add, be more human when you guys talk to us. Please it makes things a lot easier to say and more human. The way you guys talk like ERA leaves a really bad taste in our mouth.

If I get banned it's NOT a self requested ban.

I hope everyone starts putting this disclaimer at the end of all their posts.

I just realized hobbes is our new robby bobberts

[shosta]

Is my kid's teacher racially inventive [sic], or are her 1st grade classmates just little racist jerks?

So she’s 7 and got assigned a cultural class project where the assignment is to quote "Decorate a paper doll to express your own cultural heritage. Choose objects that represent your heritage such as chopsticks, flag, traditions or sports."

The kids drew straws to pick between a peach colored doll and a brown one. By the time they got to my daughter only the brown dolls were left and of course all the kids started laughing at the fact that she a bi-racial Chinese kid got the "black" doll. I'm really heartbroken and am not sure what to say other than assuring her that brown is beautiful...but her teacher freaking told her class that "if you don't like color just paint over it."

Do you think this assignment is kinda fucked from the beginning or is her class just full of little racists in the making? She came home in tears saying the kids all laughed at her and that she felt like this doll isn't pretty and I'm doing my best to try and make it a teachable moment but I need ideas.

shinobi woulda beat all those kids' asses

After Tiananmen the authorities would go to the houses of kids they suspected of being involved, the parents would reluctantly hand over the kids, then the police would come back to the parents hours later and say that they'd "committed suicide in custody" or "fell down stairs and died".

Probably what happened to tank man tbh
