Hey lads let's talk about a little problem going on era lately considering how so terribly often our forum has been attacked by racism, sinophobia, transphobia, and all manner of hateful shit either slipping by lately or getting a slap on the wrist. I'm genuinely upset and shocked this is STILL occurring and honestly, the last straw was last night. While I respect staff greatly I am aware of how easy it is to make mistakes with moderation practices and decisions however erasure of wrongdoing is where I draw the line. I genuinely feel like era is suffering for these improper decisions pushing so many members off the forum and into private groups on discord which has lead the forum to both stagnate and get worse with protecting the groups that are still here. The lack of protection for minority communities is very clear and it's hard for me to consider era as a safe space for them when I see these issues at the forefront of the forums especially recently. I understand how difficult it is to bridge the gap with everyone and I know that it's difficult to fix these issues overnight which I am not asking for an instant magical fix right away. I do however want to open a dialogue to fix these issues in a way that is positive and can help the community as a whole instead of what occurred the other night as a recent example of the problems I am seeing recently.

example from last night

https://www.resetera.com/threads/mo...-amendment-to-covid-bill.389612/post-60195965

the original ban message read transphobia and racism and was changed to inflammatory thread derailment despite clear uses of racism and transphobia in his posts throughout the thread. This is not ok we do not give bigots a slap on the wrist no matter what and there should be no exceptions to the rule. We all know he's gonna be back one month from now all fine and dandy with no consequences for his actions how is this ok? I'm sorry I am getting so angry over this but it's straight-up upsetting to see on the forum. This was not the thread for transphobia when this was a thread about a really shitty thing Manchin did to hurt the trans community.

Like what is era doing for Asian era right now considering how rampant Sinophobia there has been so much anti-Asian sentiment on these forums starting with the epic games store threads and how ridiculous it is that they are continuing period. I am also aware of the heavy toll this has had on Asian staff to the point where many people have been pushed off the forums by hateful people on the forum as a whole. (this is not ok either) What I want to do is to bring attention to these issues and ask for the community as a whole to pitch in and help get rid of these issues so that we can have a safe space on these forums for those that are still here. I especially take offense to all this when I have an Asian sister and I do not take these issues kindly. Furthermore, the constant console warring and fearmongering on the store has to stop because this is all tied into sinophobic behavior also the internet as a whole can do a whole lot less with this kind of behavior and needs to stop.

example of that
https://www.resetera.com/threads/chinese-vaccines-sweep-much-of-the-world-despite-concerns.387533/
this entire thread is littered with it. The article itself is essentially fearmongering and pushing everyone on even more anti-Chinese sentiment. This is not ok.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/ep...mediatonic-fall-guys-dev.387353/post-59897264
This post in particular just blatantly being out there with its racism and I find this to be the most abhorrent because it is something that has been barely policed on this forum for a long time causing untold stress and has lead to many on this forum to leave due to it. This absolutely has to stop.


In conclusion, I am sorry for having to bring this all up but for the sake of era as a whole we do need to absolutely stop these problems from occurring on the site as a whole It does not make era a safe space and also actively spits in the eye era stood for when we left that other place. Please we are better than this don't let this place become an echo chamber and the minorities of era to pull out completely we must protect them keep the forum safe. This means

1. Reporting posts that promote racism homophobia transphobia sinophobia and other hateful bigoted posts that crop up on the forums.

2. become more proactive in community engagement and talk to your friends about what you can do about stopping racism look up resources on approved sites and please spread awareness this is such a major issue that the only way to stop it is to fight for it.

3.Stand up! Not just understanding the issue helps anyone it's important to take a stand against injustice wherever you see it no matter what happens. We all get one life on this world and it is so important to treat each other with respect as it's such a key thing that many of us need to remember.

4.Do not take advantage of our pain this is not the place to relitigate bans or restart old wars. What is important right now is making sure minority voices are heard and can speak out against these issues.

5. please respect staff and do not attack them as this is not helpful or productive as a whole. I am aware that staff is always working on the forum and is always working on ways to better the site. Criticism is ok as long as it's constructive.

6. Do not make driveby posts it is disrespectful and rude.

7. Please please please do not just play lip services to our communities as we are all struggling.

Finally, please if anyone else has anything to add feel free to because right now we all need to work together to solve these problems on the forum as a whole. I hope many on-era can stand with me. Thank you for your time and I hope this thread is constructive.

Funny that, to them, having the freedom to explore different sexual attractions and sexualities is great...until your preferences touches upon trans people, in which case you're a bigot if you don't want to bang a transwoman or transman.

The end result of this kind of discussion is either admitting that transphobia is an overused term or that people actually shouldn't have the bodily autonomy that progressives have spent decades fighting for.

Remember how much of a celebration it was for gay people when they were finally able to be themselves and choose to sleep with whoever they wanted instead of being forced into the trauma-inducing heteronormative society?

Progressives are eventually going to have to come to terms with the contradiction that is rescinding consent for ANY reason and then labelling someone a bigot when that reason is the person is trans.  Either you respect the sexual autonomy of a person or you don't.

Really, I think it's kind of fucked up that "would you or would you not have sex with this person" has become a litmus test with progressives in the first place when consent has become such a big talking point in general.


They harassed a porn star who refused to do scenes with guys who did gay scenes until she committed suicide. They have come to terms with it, and their conclusion was that they get to decide who people have sex with.

If I remember correctly, the reason she didn't want to do the scene with the gay performer wasn't because he was gay. It was because there was an outbreak of HIV in the gay porn scene at the time, and she was rightly concerned about doing a scene with that gay performer that filmed gay scenes at the time of the outbreak. But that didn't matter. All ERA (then GAF) saw was a "bigot" refusing to have sex with a gay man and not a woman taking control of her sexual autonomy to protect herself from getting infected by a life changing STD.

So, to them, having sexual freedom is great...until they deem you a bigot for exercising that freedom.

Resetera is a smaller part of the always-online trans community that really doesn't represent the community at large.  Most trans people understand that the fight for rights doesn't suddenly supersede consent.  "Trans rights are human rights" isn't some rallying cry for "YOU MUST FUCK ME OR YOU BIGOT" that a lot of always-online trans people try to conflate it with.  And the online ones that do try to speak out against this nonsense get lumped in with conservative trans people like Caitlyn Jenner and dismissed out of hand.

It's unfortunate because these voices get amplified over the "normal" trans people just by virtue of people not really knowing any/many trans people, at least non-closeted ones.  It's screwing with people's perception of the community and directly hurting the people in it that aren't insane.

I think it's perfectly fair to want to have kids, and to have that as part of your selection process/bias in a partner. I don't, but it's okay. I think it's also fair to be attracted to certain body parts (or be unattracted to others). Just because you think it's "boring," that doesn't make it wrong. You sound just like people who look down on monogamous relationships, saying they are boring and restrictive. It's not discriminatory to say that you like penises, or don't, or like vaginas, or don't, etc, and it's fine to not want to date someone because they don't have something (or have something) you want/don't want

A lot of people here who don’t understand what it’s like being an inner city minority. How can you understand the concept of “privilege” and then throw everything out the window to call some black kids lazy.

I dunno man, if you as a parent have not done anything to find out how your kids doing at school in 4 years, and when you find out they've cut 70% of classes your first response is that it ain't the kids fault, it's the schools and they need to do better at their jobs, I can see exactly why teachers aren't exactly lining up to phone home and say that little jimmy isn't the angel you think he is, and I sort of suspect he wasn't exactly a pleasure to teach if and when he did show up.

Not even my point. It’s the sheer number of people saying it’s the kid’s fault that makes me roll my eyes.

Here’s a thread from 2018 about the willingness of cis people to date trans people, albeit based on a scientific paper rather than 4chan shithousery:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/new-research-shows-a-vast-majority-of-cis-people-wont-date-trans-people.50541/

Compare the popular sentiment and what was getting called out as unreasonable then with the current goodthink. Those summits seem to be working.

huh, by the time I got to the topic it was mostly blaming the parents as the people ultimately responsible for how a kid turns out, before nepenthe decided that was attacking black women and ackshually teachers suck and its nobody but them to blame

Amazes me that in the year 2021 there are countries that still hold on to medieval traditions such as assigning a king and queen and royal families and such.

amazes me that in the year 2021 there are first world countries that wholly reject the decimal system, don't pay for ensuring the health of their citizens, still have the death penalty, and don't allow the population to directly vote for their goverment

:gbcry :snob :gbcry

So what you're saying is that society's most burning problem is bikini outfits in niche videogames?

It's just women in general now, not just the ones in skanky clothes: https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=60305360

How is it even possible to point out transphobia if transmen/women are men/women? Shouldn't you just call it plain discrimination at that point. Calling it transphobia basically just highlights the differences.

Your unwillingness to fuck all morbidly obese 90+ year old women is blatant fatphobia and ageism.

A lot of people here who don’t understand what it’s like being an inner city minority. How can you understand the concept of “privilege” and then throw everything out the window to call some black kids lazy.

I dunno man, if you as a parent have not done anything to find out how your kids doing at school in 4 years, and when you find out they've cut 70% of classes your first response is that it ain't the kids fault, it's the schools and they need to do better at their jobs, I can see exactly why teachers aren't exactly lining up to phone home and say that little jimmy isn't the angel you think he is, and I sort of suspect he wasn't exactly a pleasure to teach if and when he did show up.

Not even my point. It’s the sheer number of people saying it’s the kid’s fault that makes me roll my eyes.

so much of modern discourse is centered around finding the one person or institution who is absolutely definitely at fault and the rest is blameless

because if you don't identify that you could be Blaming The Victim which means you're not just commenting on a story, you've committed a sin

sometimes...everybody's a little at fault

If I worked in marketing, this is all I'd do all day.  It's so easy and predictable.  Hocking chicken sandwiches would never be easier.

I work for a charity in a somewhat contentious field and our marketing guy does it all the time. Tweet something snarky and mention someone prominent who doesn't like what we do, provoke them into a response, watch the donations from supporters flood in. Our boss loves it and it works every time.

Clearly that school sucks ass. Advancing kids without proper credit to hide just how much they're sucking ass. But mom is delusional lol.

Aware of it or not, your kid is late or absent half the time, that's on you. You know his grades are shit, you must have heard something or had an inkling that the school sucks ass, so you thought he was getting a pass since they were failing to leave him back. That's on you.

Yes, this could happen to anybody since probably most parents (at least in the US) are this clueless and reliant on the schools. But don't be surprised when reality hits. Admit your role in this failure. The school absolutely failed him, but so did you. It's your kid, it's ultimately your responsibility to see him through.

people who use the report button on internet message boards are so dumb  :neogaf

era: No, we don't want likes because people will 'weaponise them' to make it obvious who's actually won an argument, and we can't control that.

also era: Here is our invisible set of rules to follow, and here is our invisible brigade button, if you would like to secretly dogpile someone into a ban
was hoping da mods here would list all the reports I've made  :lol

So a JK Rowling?

-This character is gay.
-It is shown somewhere?
-No.

This is just trying to win representation points without doing nothing.

deep friendship..must be gay, isn't that a stereotype?

Also considering Thailand and other south East Asian countries are relatively conservative about this

After all this time I've concluded that Disney shills are the worst. They are so bad that it actually hurts the enjoyment one might get out of Disney products.
Something that not even Sonic fans or Snoy fans can accomplish.

Now this narrative will take hold and if in the next film, god forbids one of the two characters is not gay there'll be a 10000000 page thread of dissapointment over something they made up in their own head.

Its literally the same story as when the blogosphere started running stories about Lando Calrissian being pansexual because some reporter went "dontcha think Lando might just fuck anything tho?" and Billy dee Williams was also like "sure, whatever you believe, you do you"

e: oh, it was a writer, not the actor. Same difference. just inventing shit about fictional characters so you can ship them.

I don't believe anything she says frankly. She was happy to happy to have all the attention up to getting married, I think she wanted it all but didn't like being told what to do. Joining the Royal family is like joining a business, you can't just do what you want. I also don't believe that Harry didn't mention anything about how life would be prior to her meeting the family and getting married.
He also wants the quiet life but then goes and does several big interviews on TV. What a moron.
