Another Contrapoints thread, another chance for Era to directly lecture to posters who are Trans how they are wrong about Trans issues and they are bad for disliking Natalie.

Disney has put the final nail in the coffin of Club Penguin Online, one of the largest unofficial fan servers for the casual multiplayer game.

The server was shut down Friday following a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown from The Walt Disney Company earlier in the week.


However, following its closure in 2017, unofficial clones of the site began to rear their head – and many of these disabled the original content filters. The BBC found that moderators were no longer removing racist content and players were engaging in “penguin e-sex” – sending and receiving explicit messages.

If incel sent me a heart I’d report the fuck out of that message as harassment.

While that is probably why they suddenly want it banned now. They hated The Intercept long before simply because it's part-owned by Glenn Greenwald. So literally all of it is and has been suspect from the founding.

[benjipwns]

So one of the dumbest conspiracy stoners I knew used to go on and on about how Michael Jordan was actually poisoned in the flu game and episode 9 kinda shocked me to my core.
I'm kinda ready to reevaluate everything I think I know about life.
So about those 5G chemtrails...

Some tried:

Cool that we're immediately scrutinising the trans member of the council based on a harrasment campaign from a website called livestreamfail? Completely normal behaviour, not suspicious at all.

Yes? lmao, I wouldn't trust the ability for someone who thinks they're a deer in any regard.

Explain.

Existing for us is considered "political" so these garbage humans see a trans person appointed somewhere as a political act whole appointing only cishet dudes is apolitical.

Ok, why would this make them untrustworthy? Would a furry be untrustworthy in this position? I don't understand the position.

This is about online safety right? The way people are reacting, it makes sense why they'd go with someone who probably deals with harassment at a higher rate than normal.

I am seeing nothing but toxicity and transphobia on twitter directed at a woman who is a lot like me for the crime of being transgender and a streamer. I love video games but fuck "gamers."

I was waiting for this thread .

She lied about her placing at twitchcon
she then after her team mate called her out had a full on resetera style attack on her
The deer shit is fucking weird, like that is mental illness, it's gross as fuck.
her content is awful, she's not good at games and not at all interesting
Twitch giving her a role will only end up with more shitty rules on the platform
the initial take on voice comms should be banned was pretty fucking stupid too.

The second clip in particular is... completely innocuous though. Seriously?

As usual, clips posted to LiveStreamFails are taken out of context. Maybe she should know better, in that ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING she says right now can be taken out of context and/or blown out of proportion, but nothing about what she has conveyed in those clips is wrong or objectionable.

She is dealing with trolls coming into her chat. She is responding to the controversy. Maybe she shouldn't. Let's move on.

I am reporting all the posts in that thread that say things like "This has nothing to do with her being a fucking deer (Which in itself is riduclous anyway)" and other bigoted shit against non-humans.

edit:

I really don't mean to sound ignorant, and apologies if this causes any offence but identifying as a woman, man, trans etc I've heard of, but identifying as a deer? What? Can someone enlighten me here.

never reported a post so fast

Of course a loquacious cunt like Ksweely would enjoy the kind of shit head that routinely makes 10+ minute videos based on singular tweets 

Edit:

Bitch is now trying to bait naysayers into an ‘attacking community member” ban 

YongYea is all about drama.

What about YouTuber Jim Sterling? Another gaming YouTuber I watch.

Why do people not watch positive content on YouTube channels?

Also, I apologize for making this thread, I didn't know that YongYea and Jim Sterling are not good people to watch on YouTube for gaming.

YongYea fucking sucks, this is baseless, needless drama and this thread only fuels it.

As I've said, I apologize for making this thread, I didn't know that YongYea and Jim Sterling are not good people to watch on YouTube for gaming.

Ugh, stop watching drama tube, OP. It literally adds nothing to the discussion.
If you want to debate the tweet (and there really isn’t anything to discuss, maybe the overzealous attitude of some “fans”) link it directly and put forward your thoughts on it.

Those videos all try to wind up controversies because they earn them clicks, and thus, money.

Ok, I've already apologized for making this thread.

John isn't coming back, it's not "temporarily stepping back" and yes, he believes posting on Resetera isn't conductive to his mental health anymore.

John is doing well and just taking the necessary steps away from here that is for the best. I wouldn't expect either him or I to post anything here related to future DF Retro projects we do together and the like however since I will also be stepping away since I haven't really been enjoying reading forums much in the last few years and stuff like this just cements that it's better to focus on work and family.

Whelp, ERA was successful in driving the Digital Foundry crew out of the forum. To be honest, DF leaving and letting ERA stew in its own shit is probably for the best.

I hope John is taking care of himself, and he's able to bounce back. Love his content and wish the best for him.

This clown Messofanego have the gall wishing John well even though he was one of the main shit stirrers whipping ERA up in a frenzy against him. He's such

User Banned (Permanent): Inflammatory false equivalence surrounding online harassment; prior severe bans for racism and sexism

The first thing they said was that we should remove voice chat from video games. You could be a white dude and get the exact. same. response.

reminder that when nintendo made voice chat an optional extra by putting it into a mobile phone app instead of inbuilt to the hardware, people absolutely freaked the fuck out, so there's some precedent here that people do in fact give a shit about voicechat in their games and its not a subterfuge

In his YouTube comment he also said John was "blathering about tech". Really sounds like a fan

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The fact that this is a legitimate concern is troubling and says a lot about how terrible the internet is outside these forums.

The idiots you are referencing claim to want "freedom of speech", yet harass people to the point of submission. Not just with "criticism" but also with personal insults, death threats, and inflammatory misinformation. All to trick vulnerable people to join their cause.

When Jim Sterling made fun of "apolitical gamers" in his dark souls jimquisition, he lost so much patreon support that he considered it a failure. Not because his video was low quality or incorrect but because the idiotic side of his audience did not like it. And that subset of fans had enough financial influence on him to control what he talked about in future videos. It is sadly ironic - he left the escapist to avoid being controlled but ended up being controlled anyways.

These morons want to control us, who say things that they find inconvenient and hard to swallow. Even if we follow what we feel is right.

They are trash. Utter garbage. I hope one day the sites they call their "homes" burn to ash and fade away to be forgotten forever.

 

This is some pretty spectacular spiderman.jpeg lack of self awareness, even by era standards, to literally post in the very thread where someone was harassed to the point of leaving the forum with personal insults and disinformation and while their "home" is literally being torn apart by the people who "live" there, not by any external forces, and literally no1willcurr when it implodes outside of saying "christ, I hope they don't come here"

Bigots and trolls AKA actual snowflakes really don't need much to harass folks who are willing to step up to them, so if you're able to stand up to them, do it even just for your conscience. If you're fine with the inaction when it was possible for something to do to help marginalised folks, then don't do anything. Like mentioned already, Jim Sterling and other liberal or leftist content creators have been through this. Lost subscribers, lost money, threats, etc. Don't let them win if you can help it. If a simple disclaimer like "the views expressed by..." can't be done, then what hope is there for progress in this medium at any higher stage?

Innuendo Studios' Alt Right Playbook is a good guide for how to combat these fools.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Yes, resetera, he left the site because of the hypothetical future harrassment by bigots for doing a thing that hasn't happened, not the actual dogpile by the people on the site that he explicitly no longer wants to participate in and the actions that they actually did.

How anyone in the games industry still posts on Reeee in any capacity is baffling. They inevitably turn on people like clockwork. But even with that, the dwindling amount of actual industry people of note on the site tells it's own tale.
