Isn't he very politically conservative?
Now the thread will be anything but the music, so you got what you wanted, I guess.
Both can be talked about so why does it bother you so much that others are referencing it?

If that offends your privilege and sensibilities, oh well.

Hahaha posting about things you like in games on a gaming forum hahaha

I go into PoliEra to see if the DEMANDS are being met and instead they're all trying to speculate as to why the DJIA went up.

Multiple things.

a) Powell talking about his infinite printer money last night.
b) Vaccine news.
c) More stuff opening up. Every time a store anywhere in America reopens the S&P500 jumps because reasons.
d) Eurobonds agreement.

I thought this forum was supposed to be cool. Y'all are nothing but gamergaters. of course she is going to push back against the people who are digging up all her shit to smear her. It's all motivated by bigotry. You guys are like the useful idiots who think that gamergate was about ethics in games journalism. Any trans person they would have appointed would have gotten this kind of scrutiny and would have fallen short.

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.

 :doge

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"

Also, you people need to realize that it is always ok to bring up things unrelated to the topic at hand. Unless it is about Joe Biden's rapes, then please keep it to the relevant threads.

This goes back to my issue with liberals. I don't get how the people who stan the hardest for minority liberation and freedom, who believe black people, LGBTQA+ people, women, the disabled, et. al, should be able to walk down the street and exist in a state of peace, harmony, and love, are such fucking worrywarts and wet blankets all. the fucking. time. Yeah, yeah I know. America refuses to grapple with the shadows of colonialism. Human behavior is annoying to fight against. Global warming is coming to throw us back to the stone ages. But, the things we believe in, and fight for, are legitimately good things worth fighting for. They sell themselves. Just look at polls about things like universal healthcare. People do like our ideas, but we're garbage at selling them.

This entire thing Era does, our cynicism, our frustration, our nihilism, our insistence on judging people and making moral condemnations over the slightest, of blowing everything up into battles for the country's soul, of ignoring minorities' perspectives. I hate it. I legitimately hate it. And I'm on your damn side! So I'm offering an alternative: actually believing in your fucking candidates and ideas for once. Live by them. Show people the values of being empathetic to others. Actually be a relatively optimistic and positive person once in awhile. "Be the change you want to see." Literally! Be excited! Be fun!

BACK OPEN:
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Couple of things to address as we reopen the thread.

First, the derail. A number of posters stopped talking about the security council, twitch's issues, or frankly anything germane to the thread, and instead focused on picking a bone with one of its members, namely, FerociouslySteph. Let's set aside the fact that women and LGBTQ+ people always take far, far more than their earned level of vitriol for any personal issues they may have, and focus on the somewhat strange accusation that she's an otherkin, just to begin with. We don't know if it's true or not and we don't care. It's a ridiculous derail. The people who started it were banned. Drop the topic.

The second issue that consumed the thread was her calling out gamers. Many gamers are in fact white supremacists and misogynists. You can either grapple with that or collapse into a quivering pile of fragility, but it's the truth. Trying to argue that her calling that out is prejudiced herself would be laughable if it weren't also downplaying the real issues that plague actually oppressed minorities. Framing the twitch clip as 'power tripping' is something we have and will be moderating, when the context of the clip is a trans woman being harassed who is clapping back at bigots and harassers.

Going forward, please examine the posts that caught bans. Please report posts like them in the future, and if you were thinking of *making* one... obviously, don't. Take care to consult the general guide and respect your fellow members.

I don't think deer even really eat grass, they eat other plants. They aren't on the cud chewers side of the ruminant family IIRC.

edit:
Quote
Deer do eat grass but it is not their preferred or nutritionally-necessary food. Deer eat mostly browse (leaves, twigs, shoots of woody plants and vines) and forbs (weeds and other broadleaf flowering plants). They do eat some grass, but only when it is young, green and succulent.

That staff post is interesting because it's in the EXTREME minority of, well, everyone.  Like, literally only crazies are taking Steph's side, and I would bet forum-goers like Excel or Sweetnicole wouldn't either based on the fact she's an otherkin considering threads like these:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-read-about-otherkin-those-who-claim-they-are-are-they-roleplaying-or-do-they-actually-believe-in-it.136330/

Outside of that bubble, there's not a single Twitch person taking her side, even trans and "woke" people.  She's made an enemy of practically everyone and Era validating her is quite possibly the most fringe thing they've done.  Like, it's genuinely nuts how in the minority they are on this and I can't imagine it won't bite them in the ass. 

She is 100% getting removed from the council btw.  I would love to see how Era tries to spin that.

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Bigotry and Attacking the Community Over Multiple Posts

Yes dozens of posters collectively wagging their finger at John for not being aware of a rather small controversy, questioning even his morals can be massively frustrating. There's zero doubt in my mind that the community could have behaved a bit more reasonably considering who the person in question is.

meanwhile in PoliEra:
NATO directly just needs continued support and vibrancy, stay the course and wait out Putin until he croaks. Kleptocracies have a way of falling apart when the mob boss dies. Don't shirk back from humanitarian intervention. America needs to kind of stop being so nuts about getting member starts to pay into their share and recognize the huge amount of political power that NATO gives to the US in the region.

An adjacent Western League of Democracies type group using the same diplomatic and administrative infrastructure should be founded that will mutually support each other with economic/trade ties and political power to promote and encourage democracy. This group can expand to include members from the rest of the Americas and Africa.

The series has a bit of an "Apu" problem with the Souphanousinphones. While Kahn, Minh, and Connie were never used as one-dimensionally as Apu was on The Simpsons, white actor Toby Huss performing a Laotian character with an exaggerated accent feels pretty out of place in the modern era. Lauren Tom, who voices Minh and Connie, is a third-generation Chinese-American--while not exactly true to first-generation Laotian immigrants, I think people are less uncomfortable with her involvement. The Souphanousinphones' purpose was to be a foil to the principal casts' comfort in their southern white surroundings, but as the show went on, they became a largely accepted part of the neighborhood. They've more or less outlived their role.

Couple of things to address as we reopen the thread.

First, the derail. A number of posters stopped talking about the security council, twitch's issues, or frankly anything germane to the thread, and instead focused on picking a bone with one of its members, namely, FerociouslySteph. Let's set aside the fact that women and LGBTQ+ people always take far, far more than their earned level of vitriol for any personal issues they may have, and focus on the somewhat strange accusation that she's an otherkin, just to begin with. We don't know if it's true or not and we don't care. It's a ridiculous derail. The people who started it were banned. Drop the topic.

The second issue that consumed the thread was her calling out gamers. Many gamers are in fact white supremacists and misogynists. You can either grapple with that or collapse into a quivering pile of fragility, but it's the truth. Trying to argue that her calling that out is prejudiced herself would be laughable if it weren't also downplaying the real issues that plague actually oppressed minorities. Framing the twitch clip as 'power tripping' is something we have and will be moderating, when the context of the clip is a trans woman being harassed who is clapping back at bigots and harassers.

Going forward, please examine the posts that caught bans. Please report posts like them in the future, and if you were thinking of *making* one... obviously, don't. Take care to consult the general guide and respect your fellow members.

I mean I have no idea how you arrive at the fact she’s not an other kin when they actually claim that they identify as a deer, dismissing that is just bigotry and poodlestrike should be fucking ashamed of themselves and should maybe think about making a donation of their wages to a deer charity and then be banned for a month to think about their actions. Disgraceful.

Love that they pretty much condone any kind abusive behavior as long as the perpetrator is trans.

RE users: Mods suck

RE mods: We're sorry to hear that. We just want to let you know we listen to all of you and love you dearly, so here's more mods.

Actually, those are admins.

Like the "maybe she's otherkin, maybe she isn't" is literally passive-aggressive fake news shit.  The source is deer lady herself.

Seriously can't stress enough how bizarre it is that Era staff is taking Steph's side.  A lot of moderation decisions are nuts, but this puts them straight up in tinfoil hat territory to not just the gaming community, but a lot of people outside it as well.  Do they really have THAT little self-awareness, or do they just not care?  Big and small names alike are laughing at Steph right now including personalities Era actually like.  If people actually cared about the site, they'd be a laughing stock right now as well, moreso than usual.

I dunno man. I personally wouldn't hire a deer to do a job that required the ability to speak and the use of opposable thumbs. Not even a Doe-Deer transdeer.

Gonna be real, as someone who is obese, and is currently dealing with a health complication that is a direct result of me being obese, the garbage I am seeing in this thread is not fucking okay.

Just because it's a Trump thread, and we're all shitting on the worthless piece of human garbage in the white house doesn't mean that some of the things being posted in this thread are okay, because spoilers they fucking aren't.

As if I needed another reason not to feel safe posting on this site anymore.
