I'd like the potential new neighbors to be young DSA-style leftists that Hank and crew (probably not Dale though) could learn from.

[jorma]

I thought this forum was supposed to be cool. Y'all are nothing but gamergaters. of course she is going to push back against the people who are digging up all her shit to smear her. It's all motivated by bigotry. You guys are like the useful idiots who think that gamergate was about ethics in games journalism. Any trans person they would have appointed would have gotten this kind of scrutiny and would have fallen short.

Wait, why are they defending Sophia Narwitz now? I thought they hated her!

Couple of things to address as we reopen the thread.

First, the derail. A number of posters stopped talking about the security council, twitch's issues, or frankly anything germane to the thread, and instead focused on picking a bone with one of its members, namely, FerociouslySteph. Let's set aside the fact that women and LGBTQ+ people always take far, far more than their earned level of vitriol for any personal issues they may have, and focus on the somewhat strange accusation that she's an otherkin, just to begin with. We don't know if it's true or not and we don't care. It's a ridiculous derail. The people who started it were banned. Drop the topic.

The second issue that consumed the thread was her calling out gamers. Many gamers are in fact white supremacists and misogynists. You can either grapple with that or collapse into a quivering pile of fragility, but it's the truth. Trying to argue that her calling that out is prejudiced herself would be laughable if it weren't also downplaying the real issues that plague actually oppressed minorities. Framing the twitch clip as 'power tripping' is something we have and will be moderating, when the context of the clip is a trans woman being harassed who is clapping back at bigots and harassers.

Going forward, please examine the posts that caught bans. Please report posts like them in the future, and if you were thinking of *making* one... obviously, don't. Take care to consult the general guide and respect your fellow members.

I mean I have no idea how you arrive at the fact she’s not an other kin when they actually claim that they identify as a deer, dismissing that is just bigotry and poodlestrike should be fucking ashamed of themselves and should maybe think about making a donation of their wages to a deer charity and then be banned for a month to think about their actions. Disgraceful.

[cosmicblizzard]

Like the "maybe she's otherkin, maybe she isn't" is literally passive-aggressive fake news shit.  The source is deer lady herself.

Seriously can't stress enough how bizarre it is that Era staff is taking Steph's side.  A lot of moderation decisions are nuts, but this puts them straight up in tinfoil hat territory to not just the gaming community, but a lot of people outside it as well.  Do they really have THAT little self-awareness, or do they just not care?  Big and small names alike are laughing at Steph right now including personalities Era actually like.  If people actually cared about the site, they'd be a laughing stock right now as well, moreso than usual.

FATTY SUMMIT NOW

Rather than calling the new states by their previous country names, you would just call them numbered regions. For example, the country formally known as France would be region 3. England region 14 etc.

Regions 1-26 still hate the Dutch Region 27

[BIONIC]

Welcome to Region 27.

It’s directer here.

[BisMarckie]

[HaughtyFrank]

Welcome. Welcome to Region 17.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of Region 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Region 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Region 17. It's safer here.

No you haven't you idiots. The derailed discussion has run it's course. They've completely forgotten that this thread was actually meant to be about Ion Fury's tech.

Also amazing how they claim that they haven't run off John when he literally quit the forum because of them.

[porkbun]

It's amazing to me that bringing up tara reade in a biden thread is considered on-topic but bringing up that this chick eats grass and identifies as a deer is not

There is no logic to their thinking.  Like they would label a 10 year old who is being given hormone blockers as a hero, but if that same person grows up to be a white chef that cooks Chinese food on YouTube, they're a racist cultural appropriator and should be deplatformed/blacklisted/whatever buzzword they're using that day.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

That staff post is interesting because it's in the EXTREME minority of, well, everyone.  Like, literally only crazies are taking Steph's side, and I would bet forum-goers like Excel or Sweetnicole wouldn't either based on the fact she's an otherkin considering threads like these:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-read-about-otherkin-those-who-claim-they-are-are-they-roleplaying-or-do-they-actually-believe-in-it.136330/

Outside of that bubble, there's not a single Twitch person taking her side, even trans and "woke" people.  She's made an enemy of practically everyone and Era validating her is quite possibly the most fringe thing they've done.  Like, it's genuinely nuts how in the minority they are on this and I can't imagine it won't bite them in the ass. 

She is 100% getting removed from the council btw.  I would love to see how Era tries to spin that.

Can't help feeling this is another of those occasions where they're FOR something based solely upon what someone else is AGAINST, rather than having an actual considered opinion of their own.
Like that time they decided they were AGAINST reading books or knowing the names of classical music.

I don't know where she got her ideas about deer behavior from, but she's way off-base.  Deer spend their days fucking up expensive landscaping and kicking the shit out of each other and anything that walks by them, they have no other purpose.  Vile animals.

I hope John is taking care of himself, and he's able to bounce back. Love his content and wish the best for him.

Bigots and trolls AKA actual snowflakes really don't need much to harass folks who are willing to step up to them, so if you're able to stand up to them, do it even just for your conscience. If you're fine with the inaction when it was possible for something to do to help marginalised folks, then don't do anything. Like mentioned already, Jim Sterling and other liberal or leftist content creators have been through this. Lost subscribers, lost money, threats, etc. Don't let them win if you can help it. If a simple disclaimer like "the views expressed by..." can't be done, then what hope is there for progress in this medium at any higher stage?

Innuendo Studios' Alt Right Playbook is a good guide for how to combat these fools.

 

Yeah, sure you do, after you started all that shit and chased him off the site.

No issues with signal boosting and platforming Digital Foundry content for years, building up a fambase here, but the slightest bit of good faith criticism comes along and now gamers want the organisation to be treated with kid gloves if there's a threat of harassment? Compare that to the harassment, doxxing, and bigotry some of us ERA/GAF regulars who happen to be minorities have received over the years just for daring to criticise and demand for representation and diversity, call out bigotry, how we live rent-free in alt right fools' heads and are obsessed over in our social media posts, appearances, and content. We can't redirect all that to a company or other person to handle our social media if it gets to us. We can't take a break because we are followed wherever spaces we go.

John is doing well and just taking the necessary steps away from here that is for the best. I wouldn't expect either him or I to post anything here related to future DF Retro projects we do together and the like however since I will also be stepping away since I haven't really been enjoying reading forums much in the last few years and stuff like this just cements that it's better to focus on work and family.

Did EG comment? Why is there no note on the video yet?

Because they don't want to put one on there. You think just because ERA demands it, they're going to do it?

I just want them to do the right thing here. It would be upsetting to see them ignore this. Not so much EG, but DF.
