The main person is saying she doesn't care about the character design and likes "sexy" characters, but thinks the Twitter account is being offensive and inappropriate.  I'm with her there- a reply from it that I think got erased was also "be sure to tag us and i'll retweet that shiz".  Very professional.

FDR wasn’t a rapist

Sure, every Kingdom Come thread has posts calling the creator a nazi, and every thq thread accuses them of personally being responsible for ms galaxies childhood rape, but bringing up Biden's past behavior is off topic.

The hypocrisy on display is unreal. No wonder women, minorities, and sexual assault survivors are leaving in caravans.

That's kind of how I understand his elaboration though ? That people from those so-called "cosmopolitan neighborhoods" may face prejudice because the -I suppose- Covid cluster(s) making headlines is located there. Poster is an expat/immigrant so is probably sensitive to it.

let's be honest, tweeting at them "how DARE you call this CHILD, A HUMAN BEING, IT" carries the undercurrent desire of somehow having thousands of people see your tweet, retweet it, make you famous, and ideally the other account will take the aggro bait and get mad back at you and lose their job

From what I understand Flynn's case was supposed to have been dropped. Documents and memo's were uncovered that revealed Yates, Clapper, Brennan, Comey etc. by their own account 'didn't have a shred evidence' to tie Trump or his campaign to Russia. They wanted to drop and close the investigation January 2017 because they quickly concluded that the Steele Dossier was bogus. Not to mention their efforts in monitoring Manafort and a few others hand't produced any evidence related to Russian collusion or interference. FBI agents Lisa Page and Strzok pushed for them to keep it open once they learned the case was to be closed as they were certain they could somehow get to Flynn. They texted about this effort to frame Flynn. Which is the evidence that made it impossible to continue the case against him.

This shines a new light on the Mueller investigation and the operation that proceeded it 'Crossfire Hurricane'. Especially if the heads of intelligence had already concluded before Mueller started his investigation that there was no evidence to tie any of Trumps associates to the Russians. Furthermore during the course of the Flynn case a lot of has been uncovered with regards to how 'Crossfire Hurricane' started in the first place. This is partly tied to Obama because as President he signed off on wiretapping the Trump people and launching 'Crossfire Hurricane' in the first place. But it is unknown if he did so simply because his intelligence chiefs told him or if Strzok and Page were not the only two trying to frame Trump associates.

No love for Ketkat but that's a real bullshit ban

What an absolutely bizarre mod post. This thread is full of people talking about FDR's racist and sexist policies, and the way that they hurt Americans but people can only talk about Reade's accusations in approved threads? How in the world is one off-topic and not the other? And how do you even see not allowing people to even bring up the accusations in threads about Biden's presidency as not shutting down discussion?

Suddenly the mods invent the rule that you can't drag accusations into every single thread.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It's not a bullshit ban. Dragging the same Tara Reade shit into every fucking discussion no matter how tangentially related it is to Biden makes the thread completely unreadable. It's hard enough to get people to actually contribute to discussions over there, but it's outright impossible if the forum equivalent of the principle of explosion makes every thread subject to an endless filibuster about something everyone already knows about. Making every thread about one subject that simultaneously no one can agree on is like demanding everyone play a Russian roulette game with all six chambers filled.

Its a bullshit ban by era standards because they established the policy that you can freely shit up any topic you want by bringing up any old controversy no matter how unsubstantiated, selectively evidenced or forgotten.

I mean, if the mods want to reverse that stupid fucking policy its a start I suppose, but if they only do it to subjects they care about and leave any thread about, say, THQ to get shitted up talking about kiddy porn and rape... well, I don't have a condition for that IF statement, because the mods really are that fucking shit at their job.

really kinda true, main example being "everything is political" so no matter what the game is you can pop in and drop a hot take about lara being a colonizer with white privilege and never get an infraction for being off topic, and anyone who tells you to piss off is minimizing real violence and lived experiences

I’m tired of this. My wife stops off at the grocery store on her way to work last night as a critical care nurse to grab something to take to eat cause we haven’t gone grocery shopping in a bit.

Person in line at checkout starts going in on her on how it’s all fake and they are lying and insert shit here. She just bites her tongue til she can get through the checkout.

We see all shit posted online. My dumb governor doesn’t even know wtf is happening. I see extended family who doesn’t understand how real this is despite us both telling. Then when my wife goes out in public she gets shit on (this isn’t the first time nor will it be the last).

On top of all of that her hospital administration wants to do everything to cost cut, act like oh you can get by on the supplies you have, and btw we need to get back to elective cases ASAP to make some money.

Meanwhile my wife is calling me in tears from the parking deck saying everyone hates her until it’s their family member that has this and then OMG please save them. She’s worried sick she’s gonna catch it. She’s worried she’s gonna bring it home asymptomatically. She wear’s a mask 24/7, and we haven’t kissed since like Feb.

We are both about done with it all. Fuck those people who just don’t care. Fuck our government. Fuck all the hospital admins. Y’all can rot in hell for all we care. I got a text at 2 AM with her saying she has half a mind to just quit and call it a day.


Can't tell between the cops and the robbers
They both partners, they all heartless, with no conscience.

I feel your pain. My wife and I barely touched each other in March out of fear of being asymptomatic. We probably are going to have to go back to sleeping in separate beds when I return to traveling for work.

Whilst I think ketkat is scum and a horrible person, the ban is pretty whack.
I do think the new mod team just don’t like her and probably are tired of her shit.
I mean realistically she should be permed anyway for doxxing mod discord’s
so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s given a perm soon as she’s building quite the history of bans at the moment.
It’s about time that ban baiting bitch got some karma anyway, bet she’s hating it stuck at home and now she’s in solitary confinement, bet she’s already comparing herself to Chelsea Manning.

It only takes one troll to destroy a forum, I remember when I was younger and fucking dumb (well slightly dumber) I used to go to some forums to specifically annoy moderators, they had hard and fast rules so I would stick just inside the letter of the rules but clearly break the spirit of the rule over and over. Eventually I trolled enough where they made the rules more vague and at that point chaos was unleashed like never before.

I don't think era is making it through this year.

By the time we get to november and Trump regrettably gets re-elected (much bigger possibility than the polisphere seems to think) it might have already crashed and burned.

seems like a weird bet, what are the stipulations

like would neogaf have met the stipulations of dying?  what was it a week offline cleaning and then reopen and gradual resurgence?

sites tend to not just disappear, they can implode but they always have some dedicated small user base that eventually peters out and one day you stumble across them like an internet archaeologist and say "wow there are 4 people posting in this one thread like once a week and the next most recently active topic was from 5 years ago"

I don't think cerium is shutting it down within even 5 years, he might transfer ownership at worst

now if you want to say minimum 100 people get so upset they publicly announce a splinter forum, now you're talking...as if discord wasn't already that
