I just don’t understand why the last thread was deleted tbh. Just lock in, and say you’ll be making a post shortly. No need to delete the whole thread.
Since they're all asking, someone needs to post links to the comments in question.
I'm sorry but... no ?I don't fear for my account being banned, I'll speak out.You're sorry because you got caught, that's all I'm reading. You should have spoken about it way sooner and big shame on the other members for not telling it how it is.Oh and by the way, your past isn't the only one that is currently being dug up. There are many more posters on those imgur links that are being spread around... plagiarize , ElectricBlanketFire , Jarmel ?You're not just a random moderator, you're the manager of the community and frankly, I don't trust you anymore. Not because of what you said, but because you've waited so long to speak out about it.Just no.
Looks like I got called out in one of the threads too, and while some of posts are taken out of context and I could say it was a different time, two things that were shared were really embarrassing. First, I can't believe I was ever one of those people that made it a point to point out the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia since when I see that kind of post these days I cringe so hard. I spent a lot of energy back then trying to make the case for treating pedophiles instead of putting the attention to victims that they deserve. Ironically I think it was a GAF mod who went too far with that kind of argument that showed me how harmful that focus was.The second thing was a post that comes off as defending a female teacher who took advantage of a male student. I don't even remember the context there but I'm ashamed that I gave any kind of cover for the perpetrator of abuse.I'm sure my words back then were harmful to people who read them and if I could go back and smack some sense into myself I would. I apologize to anyone who was affected by my actions.I'm not even a mod anymore, so maybe I don't even have to address these things, but I felt it important to do so.
For the record, we just removed another post from a user whose account was compromised by the same individual who has been doing this.
Stuff
I’m not fucking trolling. I’m fucking sick of anyone that doesn’t fall in line being harassed and treated like some nazi. I guarantee if we started taking the ResetEra purity tests in real life I’d pass and most of these losers would crash and burn. I’m not the dude that used to throw around the N word, Bu bU Bu it was in the BOONDOCKS THREAD! Fuck that shit. If it wasn’t an issue, you would’ve ignored it.
Don't fall for Gamergate tricks, people. They will always try to weaponize decency against us.
QuoteIf anybody else here posted what B-Dubs posted they'd have been labelled a transphobe and racist in under 10 seconds and quickly perma'd. Keep that same energy.But similarly, if anyone here posted those comments a decade ago and then had them dug up, ERA would not retroactively ban that person. That's not how it works.

Because we are judged on what we post to this forum, not content from off site?
Banned for off site drama. LMFAO. Unreal.Beef was picking a fight with me and wasn’t contributing shit. Post the fucking imgur link and own up to what you said.
Too bad Royolan got demodded for comments he made years ago, how is that different from what’s happening here? Different standards for different people. I read some of the posts made and were posted in that Imgur album. Any celebrity/normal person would be crucified for the same comments. There is a double standard in this thread with all the hand waving.
What you asking for, era mods to retroactively enforce their rules on other sites?
I actually feel kinda bad for bdubs cause I’m sure most of us have said shit in the past that we aren’t proud of and doesn’t reflect who we are now. But they’ve condemned so many people for that same shit so
What about the other mods?What was said, even considering context, would get someone banned here.I'm onboard with the "people change over the years and become better people" idea, but it's important that the community and moderators feel like this person, this leader, is at that point where they can lead others.What happens if that's not the case?
im just laughing at the fact that somebody can be shown to be a piece of shit and it's fine because they didnt post it somewhere specifically
QuoteTrolls weaponizing cancel culture was inevitable.And this isn't the first time this forum has fallen for it, either.

mountain out of a mole hill. Who hasn't said something dumb once in a given 10 years span of time.
I'd note there's a couple blatant differences: his comments weren't exactly that old and were directly relevant to an ongoing controversy (ERA staff not listening to concerns of trans users), and he wasn't demodded, he willingly stepped down.
I checked some of the dates of the posts. 2016, 2017. It was not all that long ago. Yes, the screenshots range over the past decade. I also edited my post before you quoted it.
You can't retroactively punish someone for someone they said years ago on an entirely different website. That is stupid.

Put it this way: I'm a transgender women, and I trust and respect the person that B-Dubs is today. If I didn't, I wouldn't have accepted the mod captain position. I can't say I knew the person B-Dubs might have been in these images, but in the time I've been a staffer I've been treated with nothing but kindness and respect by him. He's looked out for me during the hardest moments I've had as a staffer, and I've seen him do the same for the other minorities on staff.

The person who's puppeting these accounts is making this as least entertaining as possible.
Ask yourself this. If some celebrity said something really awful in the early to mid 2010s, would it be okay to brush it off as "well that was years ago?".And at times like this it is critically important that we first and foremost listen to those impacted by these statements, and that is certainly not me. I want those people to chime in with their thoughts and feelings.

would say that the celebrities who get shredded are ones that continue to dismiss or deny their prior bad acts vs the ones to have admitted them and taken steps to change themselves
When will Jarmel make his thread defending the fact that he loves and is sexually attracted to children?https://m.imgur.com/a/AjVwt9A
BisMarckie great job on the era hacking but you have to stop spacing out your punctuation marks !gives you away immediately
