I was well aware of domestic abuse and sexual assault issues before the SNES launched too.

Why would you watch her streams, she looks like she is 12 years old.
EDIT: @ adding two years. Matching your local AOC.
Quote from: stufte on December 12, 2019, 05:00:33 PMMan, as soon as it was revealed that the Jersey City shooter was an antisemitic Black Nationalist, the thread for it when quiet. I wonder why.spoiler (click to show/hide)[close]This is what bugs me. The trans community on Era successfully managed to get on the staff's case. That let them mention that bigotry in general would have harsher punishments, mentioning by name the Asian and black communities on Era.No mention of the Jewish community at all, and that's because a lot of them actually have left. The people remaining will only condemn antisemitism when it's associated with a target they hate like Trump, but no one cares when antisemitic dog whistles get posted because there's few people left around to even call out the fact they're dog whistles.Even when apparently every single marginalized group's concerns are being heard, I imagine an "Era has an antisemitism problem" thread would get locked in an instant.

Why would you watch her stream, she looks like she is 14 years old.
Also, I've never seen a Tourettes who actually had it full blown like that. They mostly just chirp or suck air in quickly.
Isn't that stupid bitch a congresswoman?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/stargirl-trailer-dc-universe-the-cw.158482/era: YAY MORE COMIC BOOK SHIT!https://twitter.com/Brecbassinger/status/698043341301125120era: boo! cancel this!
Can't they just recast her and delay the show?
Has any of her tweets since then referenced any sort of right wing bullshit? If not, then it's probably just a one off thing of a girl that probably didn't know anything about Trump other than he was on TV while she was growing up.
We can say people calling for that makes the discourse needlessly vitriolic if we don't have all the facts. Fine. But this level of discourse has existed for far, far longer than the idea of a "cancel culture" and its ability to actually end careers is effectively nil.

This is the kind of shit that gets tiresome, and pushes people away.
QuoteWife. They aren’t getting a divorce. Why would you assume they’re getting a divorce? I don’t want them to. They’ve been together a long time and have that old married couple style. She doesn’t mind me being around much. You can love more than one person. I’ve only met his younger kid who’s 12 years older than me she’s cool i guess. I’ll hang out with her sometimes but she stays in her room a lot. His other kid is 15 years my senior and doesn’t live close so i haven’t met himImagine your parents banging someone 15 years younger than you 😷 AND they're underage.

I see racist shitheads using the "bad candidate" excuse isn't only a US thing.
Quote from: riotous on December 12, 2019, 08:37:55 PMI see racist shitheads using the "bad candidate" excuse isn't only a US thing.It probably had a lot do with labor perceived anti Semitism and Corbyn ambivalence about Brexit and the second referendum.
Maybe it is a sign of needing to spend time hoofing around and talking to people, get a feel for why they voted as they did. People who didn't vote for you in non-blowout places. Was it the media? Have you lost touch with the people you think you represent? Was it the Brexit effect?
Imagine a party in such disarray that they can’t beat this guy. (Image removed from quote.)

Some of the Sony Ponies already having meltdowns. Already having to assure people that this holiday season still belongs to PS4. A whole year of meltdowns awaits us
Alright, y'all. Obviously there's issues with the state of the thread, and comparisons to other threads. I'd like to try talking it out with people, which we can either do here, or via PMs, per preference.Just to get the stuff a lot of people are talking about out of the way: Most common question seems to be about the bans and the unlock message. Long and short of it is, we feel like the case being made in the OP is fairly convincing re: Cenk's misogyny issues. So if you come into the thread and just post "yeah well I like him", it reads as dismissing all of that. Thus the bans, and the lengths.The Michelle Obama thread is going to stay locked. The updated lock message goes over why - in short, we feel like that's significantly more complex than we can address right now, due to sitting at the intersection of a lot of sore spots. It's going to be one of the things we're talking about with various communities going forward, trying to figure out how best to handle topics like that.
xboners are still 30000% more hilarious than ponies, neither holds a candle to a wild nintenyearold though. Being an xboner is like walking into a store, seeing jammie dodgers are on special then walking right past to buy a box of digestive while telling yourself 'this is fine', later the same bonerbro will post on online forums complaining about not having jammie dodgers.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Trolling and antagonizing other users in a sensitive threadthis is brilliant news. So happy. Brexit done. Corbyn gone. Labour can recover.jo Swinson is also in trouble
User Banned (Duration Pending): Supporting bigotryQuoteReally goes to show how much we live in our bubbles. None of my friends of family would dream of voting Tory. The online spaces I patronise are the same. People on here think I'm right-wing ffs. And yet clearly most of the country feels completely differently.I'm a Conservative voter but I try and read a wide variety of sources for news to avoid this problem. I post and read here, on 4chan, The Telegraph, The Guardian, FT, The Times, and The Independent. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this site and that's fine by me, but engaging and reading a wide range of opinions, often times going out of my "comfort zone" has certainly helped my world view and opened my eyes to issues I may have glossed over before.

User banned (2 months): mod whining, doubling down on previous infractionHey everyone.I don't want to derail the thread but since it's the only place I can speak about it, I want to post about my ban here. Well, not my ban, but its consequences. I was banned for two weeks in the thread about gender and ethnic diversity in games. My opinion was that we should not try to "force" diversity on creators, but especially I wanted to focus on the fact that it is - for better or worse - the fight should be given on the creator's turf. This means finding a way to give voice to creators that represent those people. This will ultimately be more effective than anything. Celeste was a perfect example for me, because it was a creation of transgender people, featuring a beautiful transgender character, and narrating a story about actual trans issues.I got banned after I engaged with a couple of members who seemed to be overly aggressive towards me. I was attacked for my opinion, while I never even said I was against them - on the contrary. I can understand that minorities need to be protected, but this didn't seem to me like protection, rather than imposition. You either agree with them, or you are imposed to shut up about it.A member quoted my post some time before or after I got banned. This was his/her post: https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-is-there-so-much-blowback-from-people-when-asking-for-more-gender-ethnic-diversity-in-games.155361/post-26902194.I wish I could engage with this person because some of the things he/she said I would like to extend on, discuss about and clarify. Heck, I can mostly understand, agree and relate to what is being said, and I would glad to contribute in productive dialogue.This will never happen, and in fact, it will never happen in another topic about anything that might be deemed sensitive to this forum. And whenever I realise a person who is considered a minority takes a stance, I'm out - I don't want to be part of it, read or converse about it.I might be nothing and my voice might mean nothing - in this forum or elsewhere - but there will be people that have something to say, and might be silenced or choose not to speak because of this climate. Dialogue should always be the desired outcome in a public forum, otherwise it is not a conversation, but an echo. It doesn't matter if it comes from a minority or a majority, it is still an echo. This makes for a poorer forum, as simple as that.Thanks and apologies if I offended anyone or derailed the thread.
QuoteQuoteSince Brexit is pretty much confirmed to be happening at this point, I don't fancy being in England when it all goes south. Plus I'll bet another recession will be on the way over the next few years to really help things along.Will be looking at emigrating somewhere else. Have to find a place where the political right haven't ruined everything though.How old are you? If you're young, have a degree and no dependants then go teach English in Asia.Early 30s. No dependents at the moment. Thats a good idea.
