User Banned (Duration Pending): Advocating invasion and imperialismBrazil has been an independent country just shy of 200 years, the US figured out sustainable land management and forestry in less time than that. Brazil has no legitimate reason to hold the Amazon hostage for cash.Also I think that radical solutions are needed to prevent catastrophic climate collapse. If the US lifted all restrictions on Arctic drilling and was going to completely destroy that environment I'd want a military response from other nations if all else failed.There seems to be a lack of understanding about how just critically important the Amazon is to the habitability of the Earth. If it goes, so do most higher lifeforms. Also everyone seems to be missing the qualifier "if all else fails", intervention should literally be a last chance hail mary throw to prevent total system collapse.

User banned (2 weeks): Inflammatory false equivalence concerning sexual assault
QuoteUser banned (2 weeks): Inflammatory false equivalence concerning sexual assault They changed their ban to 2-weeks instead of 3-months. They can't even admit they were wrong on banning them in the first place.
Accusations are good. Maybe someone will keep an eye open and it can be proven afterwards.Taking everyone at their word and burning everyone at the stake is the dangerous precident. Remember the times that's happened in the past and we look back on it shaking our heads?Women, or anyone, being assaulted is fucking terrible, but automatically wanting to burn everyone who is accused of it is equally terrible.
This is a clear example of why my post count here has plummeted over the last year +.Came here with the exodus from the other forum. Minored in Women's Studies. Card carrying liberal, ally to women & LGBT, advocate for racial justice. Protested with BLM, have been involved with many liberal organizations. After all that, I see people here getting banned for not immediately joining in on the mob mentality and simply acting as a voice of reason. Rarely feel like I can have a genuine conversation here without the threat that one perceived slight becomes a ban.ERA is home to a wide array of incredibly intelligent and thought provoking people. Yet in some ways it is far too extreme, which is partially due to the moderation. I wish it wasn't the case, as I genuinely believe this mentality actually gets in the way of the things these people want/strive for.

This thread is a classic example of why the expression "believe women" is nonsense.
The majority of people understand what "believe women" means.But considering your name and avatar are of a literal rapist, I'm not sure you're doing this in good faith.
Seriously, what the fuck. Their two posts in this thread were already some bullshit but the avi/name take those comments to a whole other level.
These threads are always contentious. A lot of posters come into them with a lot of history, despite the fact that a lot of women either never come forward or are not believed when they do. When someone does come forward with accusations of assault, we should believe them. Running in yelling "innocent until proven guilty" can feel a bit dismissive to victims of assault or harassment, so please be sensitive about this.In this thread, a single ban was issued earlier in the day. We have reevaluated it and found that the ban given was too harsh for the content the posts contained. As such we have readjusted the length to be appropriate and have emailed said user explaining the issue with the posts in the hopes they will learn from this.Concerning all the complaints: this site was founded on the idea that women are largely telling the truth when they come forward. There might be cases that don't pan out, where the accusations might not be true, but that is not the case in the vast majority of instances. We aren't going to be banning anyone complaining unless it really crosses a line (that said, derailing the thread to attack a team of volunteers and re-litigate your old bans instead of sending a report or contacting staff directly is really not OK), but please remember that it takes an incredible amount of courage to come forward. That those that do, can be subject to threats or harassment by fans of the accused.Given how this thread is going, we're opting to keep it locked. If there are further developments in the case, feel free to make a new thread.

Don't let Bieber off the hook. Maybe he assaulted someone else and we haven't heard about itQuote from: https://www.resetera.com/threads/justin-bieber-has-been-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-two-women-up-bieber-responds.232141/post-37674031For what it’s worth, I always side with the victim.I don’t like Bieber, I think he’s behaved like an asshole frequently.Could be he’s assaulted someone else. We don’t know. It just looks like this one, the victim may have been lying.He's siding so strongly with the victim that there doesn't even need to be a victim

This is literally out of the DENNIS playbook of how to be a sexual predator and get away with it, when he makes his victims's phones send out consent texts, has tapes, and the evidence to cover his rapes. Angry Joe knew exactly what he was doing.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/angry-joe-accused-of-sexual-harassment-predatory-behaviour.232600/These “always knew it!” types could have stopped amirox but did nothing!
Seriously. I could write a better story in an hour. How about this: Joel builds a massive truck made of knives and drives it across America, killing all of the clickers. At the end, he listens to some Slipknot, looks at the camera and says, “That was the last of THEM.”
Some people paint Joel as a villain, due to the fact he guns down loads of doctors at the end of the original game. These disgusting surgeons want to fashion a cure from Ellie to save the world, but there’s a catch: the surgery will kill her.
Oh Jeez, yesterday it was Biebor, now it's Angry Joe. Mess and his guilty conscience is waving his pitchfork around as usualQuoteThis is literally out of the DENNIS playbook of how to be a sexual predator and get away with it, when he makes his victims's phones send out consent texts, has tapes, and the evidence to cover his rapes.

I thought it was clearly established that these surgeons were sketchy as fuck and didn't exactly know what they were doing. I read it as Joel refusing to sacrifice his surrogate daughter for a very remote chance to find a cure.

I stopped watching his stuff years ago when he began slopping out half assed movie reviews. If what the girl says is true then yeah he's getting close to Evilore levels of creep.
Wait till TLOU3 where we see Joel returns, only this time, he's half ROBOT!
My personal run in with “Angry Joe” happened at PAX West 2017. Right after Bungie’s Destiny 2 announcement I had to use the restroom. I entered the restroom and to my surprise it was relatively empty. I entered closest stall and began my business. Well no more then a minute into being in the stall I heard someone in the stall next to yell “AYYY ITS ME ANGRY JOE!”. I don’t know if the acoustics of the bathroom played a part in it but the voice did not sound at all like Angry Joe. I ignored it and tried to finish my business. It was not until I looked up when I saw what I could only describe as overweight smiling 35 year old Mexican man looking down on me. It was Angry Joe. What happened next was something of pure horror. He began to scream “I AM ANGRY JOE” repeatably and with his two hands began to vigorously shake the stall wall that divided us. I immediately got up and ran out of the bathroom with a quickness. That experience my day at pax shitty.
Not enough proof? It's enough to Phoenix Wright the situation.Can anyone at the executive meeting confirm that Joe was with the girl?
Trash. Twintelle is the only character from this IP worth a damn.
I like her and all, but man, how incredibly disappointing.
Fuck that guy.
Another L for black representation in Smash. Pretty disappointed by this when they had an extremely popular character they could've gone with.
Garbage. A real opportunity for diversification -- one of the only opportunities among Nintendo's brands for a black woman specifically -- totally squandered.
God damn it.Once again they refuse to put POC representation. Twintelle was an awesome popular character as well and yet they didn't add her...
Today I learned Chinese isn’t considered a minority or a person of color apparently.

She has all the characteristics of white beauty standards: light-toned skin, green eyes and blond hair. It doesn't matter much that she's canonically chinese in the context of demanding diverse-looking characters, especially dark-skinned ones.
bork exposing all his Resetera alts.
If we wanna get technical there are 1.3 billion people living in chiner and many more of Chinese descent worldwide, they are a global majority if anything
