Not that we needed confirmation, but here is more evidence of the "protected" class getting much more leeway when it comes to bans.

Definitely.
There's a user that's been banned at least 3 times for toxicity, once for harassing someone via PM so his toxicity would be hidden. He gets banned almost every few months and at most it's for a few days
Asked a mod why he hasn't faced a more serious suspension and was basically told it's because he loses his temper from time to time and contributes to the community a lot.

Gotta be shy or digitalOP right?

Would be interesting to know how they feel about giving money to a pedophile that may have went towards facilitating crimes against children.

I donated. Wasn't much, $20-$30 I think. I did it because even though I really didn't like Amirox as a poster (and I think we'd had a few run-ins at that point), I felt bad for his mum and figured he'd have to be legit with the cash because she knew about the appeal.

I know it sounds like bullshit but I don't really care that he fucked up and spent the money on drugs. You donate money to causes in the full knowledge that once it's left your wallet, you no longer have any say on how it's spent. People abusing good gestures shouldn't ever dissuade you from making good gestures.

Also, I'd have gladly paid $30 to read about him getting soaked in piss, so I came out even in the end.

I'd say you came out ahead in that exchange.

I donated money to demi and i'm sure he spent it on baby oil and strippers, but im okay with that

My wife and I just found out we will he having our fourth child and we are having difficulties thinking of names.

Before you tell me this is the wrong forum, let me tell you three boys names.

Our oldest (11) was given the same name as my Final Fantasy XI character - Latch.

Our middle child ( is Locke (middle name Cole).

The youngest (3) is Link.

We never meant it to become a theme, but we have three boys, all of which start with L, are one syllable, video came character names, and strangely parts of a door.

I don't think there is any possible names that would fit all those requirements to keep the pattern, so many just as close as possible.

My wife suggested the name Lara for a girl. That could work, I guess.

When we found out the news, we were on a resort vacation in the Dominican Republic and each night were playing a bit of Luigi's Mansion on Switch. Long story short, my wife did not like my suggestion for a boy name.

WTF?

Random idea:



For the major communities of ResetEra, members with semi-regular participation and some duration of 'citizenship' of said community (6 months+ to avoid an influx of saboteurs) should elect representatives to enter into the discussions with the ResetEra staff. This way representatives are not picked by the staff themselves which could lead to accusations of picking cronies or less oppositional members.



Then staff and the representatives have an open discussion on the important topics, where all of ResetEra can view (but not participate). Closed doors sessions would likely be necessary to avoid everyone needing to "perform" and to have more candid conversations, but at the end of these conversations, agreed upon summaries would be released with the endorsement of all who participated.



Clearly a lot of work, and not infallible, but clearly more representative and of redress than the current system.

 

No wonder they are so tired all the time, just reading that made me exhausted.

This is probably a moot point but I wonder if the moderation problems are a holdover from GAF and reflective of the fact that this forum is basically old gaf with a new skin.

Intersex - You get a mod.
Asexual - You get a mod but they can't interact with anyone.

Besides, when I frame asexuals as 'someone that doesn't fancy sex very often' then I simply can't see them as a marginalised identity in any sense of the word. I'd prefer to pretend they're resolutely against all sexual contact so I can at least pretend to understand why they feel 'unsafe'.

I don’t even understand this. As people keep demanding equal representation for smaller and smaller subgroups, we’re eventually going to get to that point of one person decrying lack of representation of themselves because they are the only member of that group.

I mean fucks’ sake, how many asexual members on that board? In the general populace, it’s an estimated one percent? On that board, even with a higher concentration, can they even reach 5%? But they need a dedicated mod who is also asexual?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/japanese-games-and-cultural-appropriation.154390/

! User banned (2 weeks): concern trolling

Japanese games take a lot of inspiration from other cultures, from myths, to history and clothing and armour design.

The problem is most of their characters look Asian, which wouldn't be a big deal to me personally, but they fail to represent the actual people they're taking these influences from.

For example Final Fantasy is steeped in Western mythos, the characters even have Western names, yet the majority of the characters are Asian and look like J-pop stars. Take Tifa for example, her name isn't Japanese, and she's from a town called Niflheim, yet is clearly Asian. Same with Cloud, and even Barret has a certain look to his face and lighter skin in the new remake.

Aerith was stated to be made more Western but still looks Eastern in the face. And in FFXII they stated they were told to make Ashe distinctly not Japanese but still did in the end to appease the Japanese audience. However with her I'm not expecting her to look White, but Indian. The team took a trip there for cultural influence yet there seems to be no representation of their people.

It extends to a lot of their games. I know a vast majority have anime artsyles, but even then, despite their brightly coloured hair, anime character have more Asian facial features with sharper eyes and smaller noses and chins. I just find it disingenuous when games like Fire Emblem have all these European inspired aesthetics and names yet everybody again looks like a pretty j-pop star. It's ok for characters to have bigger noses and differenr facial structures, Japan, as in the end most of the world and people your taking from do.

I know Japan is xenophobic, but when looking through Bulbapedia at the new Pokemon, and seeing that NPCs on the routes you battle in the original Japanese version ALL have Japanese names despite the country being based on England I just laugh at their need to self insert into everything.

Obivously this goes beyond games too. Stuff like the manga Magi with its Arabic influence yet features very little people with dark skin gets to me too. I just wanted to know if there's a reason for this and what your guys thoughts are?

Obviously I'm not against Asian characters, in fact we need more of them from Western developed games, I just don't like the lack of representation of the people they take influences from. If the West developed a game, based on Japanese culture, myth, and geography yet all the characters, despite having Japanese names, were distinctly western there'd be massive uproar.

Some of you are so woke I'm not sure how you make it through the day without offing yourself. It's great to think of others, especially groups that have been shit on historically. So do something for Native Americans that day or volunteer at a food bank or something, but trying to make everybody miserable on a day they want to spend with their family and being thankful for the things they have is a misstep. It's more about impressing others with just how woke you are instead of making a meaningful contribution. People are trying to get through this life with a little joy. They can visit with family, over eat and watch some football without having to feel guilty about it.
