I can't quite get why acknowledging Sasha Grey was a very famous pornstar (if a bit overrated) was sexist. I mean, Resetera can't let go off some out-of-context quotes some minor Internet personality said eight years ago but saying Sasha Grey did porn is sexist?
They pretty much branded it as shameful past that can't be alluded to which is quite ironic.
This is the part that made it extra funny. Her name isn't Sasha Grey! That's a stage name. You pick a stage name in porn so you can drop it and disappear. She dropped porn but kept the stage name and uses it for everything from normal acting to music to writing sex-romance novels to these gaming streams. So even if you knew nothing about her, it's clear she doesn't find it shameful. If you do know anything about her she has long talked about how she did porn because it was fun to her. She does want to be known for more than porn but she's never said she regrets it or spoken ill of it other than when she was backing up some fellow people in that whole "feminist porn" thing. And then they were never condemning porn, but simply industry practices at the time.

It's another example of where they ape progressive things they've seen without ever looking into any of it and then just come off as prudes. Nobody in the thread was condemning "sex work" they were making joking references to someone famous for a lot of things that aren't simple "sex work" as Sasha was fucking nuts* in porn. Yet somebody clearly got butthurt about it and had to protect the wommins who are not Sasha Grey. This isn't even accounting for the fact that the rule is most likely there because there are ResetERA.com users who make shitty porn under the same username they use on ResetERA.com since I can't imagine a situation in which users on a "progressive forum" would be "condemning sex work" in a way that wouldn't be triggering to some Westerner. You would never be banned for condemning third world sex work that's essentially slavery would you?

Plus the jokes were even incredibly tame, especially for the topic, I'm sure non-pornstar lady streamers have seen worse comments. Especially from capital-G Gamers of which there are none allowed on ResetERA.com.

*Even her Wikipedia page notes that she got famous for asking a co-star to punch her in the stomach during filming. She was always up for crazy shit.

I had a buddy who got in trouble because somebody ran up to attack the truck he was driving and he fired out the window to stop the attack. This broke the ROE and he finished his military career as a specialist. Meanwhile we get to see videos of cops breaking the rules, killing someone, and they get paid vacations for it.

Wild.
Stricter rules despite the people involved being much likelier to explode than to just be wielding a very, very blurry and scary phone.

Apparently, on reddit anyway, the driver/hostage was crawling out of the UPS van before the firing started. So they lit him up anyway. WTF.
I'm also pretty sure you'd at least be reprimanded for wasting ammo and being awful shots as the police do. Look up the car in Miami, that stopped and had surrendered, that the police then fired like over 300 rounds at and hit ten times or something. There's how many instances of police unloading all their ammo and hitting only other police.

Like a decade ago there was one car that ran a checkpoint in Iraq and the MPs or whatever shot it up (with far far fewer rounds expended), they all got reprimanded for how they handled it as the car had made it through the checkpoint and was obstinately driving away. They were, in theory, supposed to have let it go but they continued firing at it. IIRC, it wouldn't have mattered much as they had killed the driver with the first few shots. It was still a BIG DEAL thing. And I guess they were legit insurgents and car had weapons and such in it.

Cops want to play military and use all the gear and equipment but without any of the rules/guidelines/training that the military still follows pretty strictly. (Even when they're waiving all kinds of other rules to get people into uniform, they thankfully tend to not skirt the rules so much after they get them.)

Huh? What kind of conclusion is this? Someone pours out her concern, and you suddenly ask her to leave? Who are you? North korea leader?? It is very ironic though, you oppose nk's government system, and you act like one.

If one is at fault, it is better to point out the mistakes hoping she will be better in the future rather harrassing her

Here's the thing. If someone makes a bigoted or inflammatory post, do we wait every time for someone to try to educate them? What if there are dozens in a thread, which can happen if there's a fast-moving, controversial thread. Do we wait for users to try to engage each and every single one before we decide to ban them?

If we do this for each and every bigoted or inflammatory post, what does that mean to the minorities who have to read and endure these posts?

Pardon my bluntness, but this is a silly and entirely impractical idea for a lot of reasons. If someone breaks the terms of service or posting guidelines in a way that merits a ban, they should be banned. Period. That's not 'being trigger-happy', that's enforcing the rules of the forum. Adding arbitrary waiting times on top of that only serves to lengthen thread derailments, increase hostility, and burden the communities most directly affected by the behavior. This "I'm sure I can convince them to stop engaging in the ban-worthy behavior they already engaged in!"-idea is silly. How long should staff have to wait before banning someone who engaged in a ban-worthy offense? How many people should 'get the chance to convince them' before staff can finally ban them? One? Two? Three? As many as you deem it necessary for each individual case? What if nobody shows up to 'defuse the situation'? Now think about how all this immensely complicates moderation on the staff side, necessitating moderators to monitor one specific thread for an arbitrary amount of time to see if anyone shows up to 'convince' or 'defuse' the one specific user in question, thus diverging their attention away from the rest of the forum. How long should they let these types of discussions play out for? What if the user does not respond? Should the user be banned only if they explicitly and harshly double down, or should they be allowed a third chance to retract? What if one user's ban-worthy behavior feeds into another user engaging in similar ban-worthy behavior in part due to an apparent lack of moderator action? Should staff just allow threads to be derailed to be entirely about this one person's behavior? Should one person's determination to 'defuse' the situation overrule all other participants of the thread? Should staff burden vulnerable communities with having to 'defuse' behavior that harms them before they ban the user engaging in that behavior?

There's absolutely been times where people have been engaged by others by the time staff got their eyes on a situation, and in those situations, that engagement is absolutely taken into account in weighing how long - or even if - a person should be banned, but it is entirely impractical to expect a blanket policy of a mandatory and arbitrary waiting time for each and every ban, not to mention that it makes the communities most directly affected by the behavior feel less safe and secure on this forum.

When I see staff members, both former and current, talk about how much time they spend moderating the forum and how much of a toll that is or was on them, it does make me wonder if maybe you should have more staff members than you do? Mist mentioned earlier in here that some staff spent their entire day yesterday going through reports, and I feel like if you had more people, then that load could be lightened and perhaps it wouldn't cause you all to spend hours and hours of your day going through reports.

40 staff for over 48,000 members seems like a really low number to me, less than 0.1%, and when I see people saying that they spend most of their days helping to moderate the forum, that makes me worry that you are all burning yourselves out really fast trying to keep up with everything you need to deal with here on a daily basis. This forum is big, tons of posts and threads are made each day, and you're all doing great work keeping up with it as is, but it still doesn't sound healthy to me in the long run, it just seems like a disproportionate amount of stress is being placed on you all to me, and that makes me worry about you

Everyone is saying don't.

I say go for it. You can probably update your computer by cracking the admin password and forcing your computer to update it.

If you get caught they will probably force you to ghost your machine. I doubt they would fire you over it.

I once read a whole bunch of the Wikipedia articles of porn stars back before they cleaned them out for being too detailed, but I totally am not the porn hound others here are. Sasha Grey's entry is kinda more like how they all used to be as they used to be sourced from all kinds of porn fan sites/interviews/etc. that now isn't allowed.

The only other one I can claim any special knowledge about is Bobbi Starr because she got a music degree and became a classically trained oboe player before swerving into porn and the jokes write themselves, also she's in this video naming non-Mario games:


I remember NeoGAF.com had a BIG DEAL over some porn star who was playing a hardcore strategy-RPG game on PSP. But I don't remember the game or the girl. From searching a list of PSP games Jeanne d'Arc sounds familiar for its obscurity. And now I've found the who: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/934454-jeanne-darc/40772401 (Jenna Haze)

Hey what’s with some mods changing to TLJ themed avatars and tags?

If you were unfamiliar with the sites history with Daddy Disney you might just assume the staff are getting some of that mid-nations-GPD sized star wars marketing money to shill for it.

As it is, its just as likely that all the mods are all lock step in consensus about how super amazing new star wars is and all changed their avatar to disprove that groupthink they definitely don't have

Mod Post: Reducing an adult film star to their profession is an offense of the highest order and will result in an immediate ban. It is sexist because you jerk it to videos of Sasha Grey getting pounded by a dozen hogs at a time, which is not allowed in our TOS.  We support Ms. Grey in her career choices and even though we don't allow conversations surrounding the topics of gang-banging and bukkake, we are proud of her contributions to the world of film as a woman. An ERA approved way to discuss the actors/actresses in the adult film industry would be to include a fun fact about them, such as their favorite color and omitting any language that could be seen as sexual in nature as it could be offensive to segments of our preferred communities (If you are unclear as to the necessity of this last rule, PM Royalan for an explanation.)

Yes those websites exist and I am surprised by the amount of hate they display, even by Internet standards. Given the words, they use I am surprised they haven't been sued more.

I don't think it would be possible to identify people's screenshotting posts without resorting to intrusive methods.

The only solution that could be considered might be threads reserved to people belonging to subgroups I guess, some forums let you post in a section only if you request joining a specific group.(that limits spam but also other problems). However it might restrict the scope of conversations.

Back in the day a guy we banned from the forums tried to send us a personally drafted "cease and desist" lawsuit threat by mailing it to the address of the domain registrar on the WHOIS. (Which was just a server farm, not their business address I guess.) Even though there was an actual address and name for one of the admins also on the WHOIS.

I unbanned him from a thread he could post in to try and explain his plan. But he refused. :'(

This is the best one in the Sasha Grey thread.

Ron Paul: former mod

Would love to see her co-op with Mia Khalifa.

Mia Khalifa does indeed stream on twitch.  Either playing video games or cooking.





User Banned ( 2 Weeks): Objectifying and sexist commentary. Please do not reduce sex workers and former sex workers to their past work


Banned for wanting to see two twitch streamers together on a stream. 



Also, it's kind of strange how smart Sasha Grey came off but then she revealed she was pressured into porn by her BF who claimed to be part of a spy task force called the DIA or some bullshit.  He said her doing porn would be a great cover for him and his spy work.

I know that smart people can be emotionally manipulated and she was still a teenager at the time but it does change the way I look at her choices.  But in the end she came out of it with poise and dignity even if ERA thinks her past is shameful and all references of it should be banned.

User Banned (9 Days): Inflammatory Accusations

no, this is the nail in the coffin for ol' Bernard, who is the strongest against Trump in the general and is currently leading the field in California.

It's funny to see who would prefer Trump over Bernie to the point that they have to rush to post every minor fuckup his campaign makes (and then rectifies not even an hour after they post it).

At some point, aren't threads like this just bait? Like at least wait for the CNN article, don't go posting right-ring rags and Twitter reactionaries.
what an odd choice of days :lol

I love how Trump is fighting for fair trade from EU and China all while having awesome job numbers at the same time. And people swore China had all the leverage over us.

Nine days?  OMG, have they made a simple algorithm to determine ban lengths?!  Prepare to see the code be harsher to minorities and the poor.

A girl I really really like and had a major crush on said that she's not really interested when I asked her our last night. I was really hoping she would be up for going out, as I love her character and who she is. And she is also one of the few people I actually know here in Sweden that I'm interested in keeping in touch with, with most others being random people from work.

Haven't slept, been overthinking a hundred situations of how maybe I approached her wrongly or didn't choose the right moment, or who the hell knows what.

Also having a birthday in a few weeks when I turn 29 and not really having any friends to do anything with over the one month of vacation I have coming now for the holidays, is kind of hitting me hard. With all the burnout from work, I can just sense a self destructive period coming up again, just as I managed to get out of one.

I have no regrets as those are pointless and all the mistakes I've done have made me who I am now, but stuff like this drains the life out of me and makes me question whether coming to Sweden was a good choice. Feel like leaving all behind and running away again as I did before I came here. 🤷
Is Ketkat ever going to post in this thread again? It was the most important reason to unban her I thought.

Having just rewatched this for the first time in like eight years, it's even better than I could have realized, it doesn't pull any punches in regards to just how truly, utterly miserable this holiday can be. A movie all about spending time with your family when your family just so happens to all be terrible, terrible people. I don't know how it is for everyone else here but my extended family are terrible and having to spend time with them for even a brief period of time is hell on earth, and because of that Christmas Vacation is probably the most relatable Christmas movie I've ever seen.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Downplaying racism

How come season 1 is hated? This shit is golden. Micheal is basically super unfiltered. I am in the Dundies and he has literally Asian glasses in in Chilis as the camera zooms in on an Asian woman.

I super get it is offensive but it seems tailored to be humorous and make a point Micheal is an awful person.

Is the over top rudeness why season 1 is hated?
thread backfire lol

Update: I did it and my brother as well, we talked for over an hour and my dad just sat there not saying much. We left and said we will talk to him one day but we all need to focus on ourself.
The worse part of the day is finding out my 4k tv is cracked and broken.... 1500 down the drain... I barely used it this whole year. Had a 55 4k Sony 900e and now gotta look for a new TV. Hows the sony 950g?

I cut my father out of my life today but the worst part of the day was finding a crack in the overpriced TV I never used. Maybe I’ll buy a more expensive one... Any thoughts??

I can never understand how people fell in love with this ghoul.

God, they're insufferable.
Just gonna take the time here to point to more blatant sexism in this thread, are we gonna need another 12 hours for our lovely mod team to decide if 3 days or a warning is good enough

Can you explain how "ghoul" is a sexist term, or are you going to continue to diminish actual sexism?
I'm trying to avoid derailing the thread too much, but if calling her a witch is sexist than moving one step from that should be too. Mocking her voice is apparently a 3 day, and in a previous thread calling her a cunt is worth just a warning, so I'm not sure how the grading in this class works.

Eh, it could be a dog whistle, a replacement word for something more sexist

How come this is okay but mentioning that Billy Dee Williams once attacked his girlfriend isn't  :huh

If I didn't know better I'd say the mods are playing favorites.

At the time it was thought that Billy Dee was non-binary/genderfluid.
