Doxxing Files |OT| Do not use a pandemic to make a platform wars thread

[Cauliflower Of Love]

So the last thread about this got closed because it focused on Ted Cruz's response, but mods did give the green light for a general thread about the ad, and I didn't see one yet so lets do it.

Imagine thinking this is a progressive forum.

[nobody of note]

This seems like a thread ResetERA is totally capable of handling:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/im-black-but-im-not-sure-if-im-pro-black-anymore.420626/

This sounds like a bizarre statement but it's how I feel. Hopefully this is a safe space to express that feeling.

When I say I'm not sure if I'm pro-black anymore I mean it in the sense I don't care about black issues. I care. I deeply care. But caring about those issues and being pro-black feel so separate. Being pro-black feels like in itself a specific identity. I want to reject that identity.

A lot of black Americans today act like our shit doesn't stink. On social media you constantly see white people being referenced as "yt" people. Social media combined with the lack of justice in America's court rooms and streets is radicalizing black Americans to an extreme. Being black now, beyond the defenses of our own humanity, is so tiring. It's black this, black that. Constant checks on how black you really are. Always puffing up your chest, talking about how "our people" do it the best. Dr. Umar Johnson shows up on The Breakfast Club and it sparks another fucking argument about interracial dating. You've got black people talking about black people messing up the "gene pool" sounding like some bucktoothed klansmen. I think many black Americans today are truly morphing in to what we hate: supremacists. More specifically, the idea that black people are better than other races.

Over the past few months I've witnessed countless amounts of apathy towards the struggles Asian Americans are going through from black folks. Sometimes it goes beyond apathy and into full of hate towards Asians. You've got people that consume Asian cinema, animation, games, and food like it's water and they don't have anything to say to speak out for people that are down because of targeted racism, something you should be able to relate to, and

I'm not sure what this mindset has actually done to improve the lives of black people.

I'm an artist and hang out in a lot of artist circles. You've got so many artists now talking about human experiences and all the black artists are just talking about blackness. Black black black black. It is uniformly boring at this point. As a black artist you feel pressure to have to constantly talk about being black. In fact, it's the expectation. Meanwhile, other races get to make art besides their race. Look how limiting being a black artist is. You've got Ta-Nehisi Coates, a great writer, talking about making Superman black. Spike Lee? All that dude does is talk about blackness. Where's Pretty in Pink featuring black folks where people can feel normal? Every single goddamn black movie or show that comes out now is some fucking misery porn that hinges itself on the throes of black pain. How original. How unique. How utterly banal and will be forgotten in five years time. Lovecraft Country, that Janelle Monae movie, Them;etc.  Where's the black positive tv shows or movies?

I'll always care about the struggle but I'm so sick and tired of anything and everything being defined by blackness. I feel so bad about feeling like this too. I don't know how to handle these feelings.

First reply is a solid start:

It sounds like you are in some kind of weird social media bubble where you think every black person feels the exact same way about every issue. Not sure what to say other than that.

Also, being fair with one of the examples, isn’t Spike Lee best and more successful stuff has always been heavily related to the black struggle? Blackkklansman revived his career after failures like the Oldboy remake and that story mode in NBA2k.

I worked the graveyard shift for two years; 12AM to 10AM or 12PM. It made me completely miserable after a while. Nothing I did to cope worked. Now I work 2PM to sometimes 2AM. It's a bit better but still has that same shittiness.

I have nothing to add except watch out for it changing your personality.  I eventually became evil, slowly sabotaged my supervisor's career because he pissed me off one day over something that was his fault, got him chewed out by his boss in front of everyone in the building (he looked like he had a frog trapped in his throat while he was taking the verbal beatdown, so everyone called him "bullfrog" behind his back afterwards), and made him lose the respect of his coworkers. He became so ashamed afterwards, he transferred to Tennessee, but not before management screwed him over one more time by delaying his transfer without telling him at the absolute last moment (he already gave up his apartment by this time and got a new one where he was going).

I know the FGC think highly of themselves, but declaring themselves the inventors of esports is prettyyyyyy 

It's super weird to try to pin the creation of esport on one community. Like what about Korea and how starcraft became a massive phenomen? The article appears to just ingore that. And I don't know if there's anyone directly to blame that price pools for Moba games are much higher than for fighting games. Moba games just seem to be more popular.

I feel people going on about the fact e sports developed elsewhere as well are kind of missing the whole point of the article which is not attempting to be an expansive history of all esports.

Meanwhile the article is titled "Black players pioneered what we now call esports. The industry hasn’t paid them back"

The funny thing is that the creation of the diverse US FGC is a great story by itself, but they had to go with the hyperbole

[Nintex]

The premise doesn't make any sense.

eSports used to be sponsored mostly by console makers as glorified ads then it sorta died along with the arcades and everything moved to online PC communities with clans competing in games like Counter Strike.
Korea brought it back in a big way with Starcraft and it slowly made its way back into Europe and the US.

As far as I can tell these events have always been quite diverse. Like when I catch a glimpse of a fighting tourney it is all sorts of people competing with one another from places across the world.
The only thing you need to do is to become a master of a specific video game. Unlike say professional soccer and such there's really no college league, city or whatever that gives you a leg up.
