Holy shit the "other guy" is Ethan Nicolle, creator of Axe Cop. I've met that dude, several times. Shared a hotel room with him one Comicon. He was (is?) a very good friend of a friend. That's wild. Also fuck them.

excuse me? that ethan nicolle, of axecop?

though I guess glorifying a cop is prob the sign I missed

I mean I don't follow the guy any more, but fuck

Sigh... another one to the list.

Axe Cops Are Bastards

I hope the kid brother that wrote it grows up to be a decent human being though. He didn’t know.

We're level-headed, mature individuals, and we should be able to have a dialogue and reflect as a community on how we can improve our experience on this site.

We are always going to provide a platform for calling out abuse of power and any other shitty thing out there. If that makes you so uncomfortable that you feel you can't handle the discussion here, the door's thataway.

Unless, of course, you're calling out abuse of power on Era.

I like this site a lot but imho it never captured the heights of GAF at its peak. It's the vibe of the thing, y'know?

We're a long way from Twitter or Gamefaqs levels but yeah, we should be more positive and less negative.

 

[paprikastaude]

The truth is that very few people on this website actually have anything interesting to say. There’s kind of a shitty culture here where most people just want to express their outrage on a given topic as fast as possible with as few words as possible, and it’s reinforced by a group of users who use the Report function as a super downvote.

I don’t think it’s fair to characterize these criticisms entirely as “stop talking about politics.” I want to talk about politics and social issues here but in a less exhausting, aggressive and toxic way. The two shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.

Oh yeah, I used to dream about that...

That Alinity chick looks like she's in her 30s.  Something wrong with you if you're streaming twitch as your primary activity at that point in life.

yeah, she should totally ditch her million dollar income and take a job as a min wage waitress instead, i don't understand her priorities in life   

Wow so stream or work as a waitress? Are woman CEOs not a thing in jormaworld??   

i wasn't talking about women in general tho? for alinity those are pretty much the options available to her

[Boredfrom]

There is something that's been bugging me for a few days after he tweeted out his response. This may be a small opinion from me but I saw that he's been tweeting a lot more, streaming like normal and talking like normal after being accused like he felt no remorse at all. It gave me a bit of a goosebump on how he can move on so quickly. I would personally felt the need to take a break mentally after being accused like that but that's just me. Just wanna express this concern.

Some guy on the first page of that negativity thread had the most spot on thought when he said there's a deficit of trust on ERA. They made such a big song and dance of vetting the core userbase to an extent no other forum I know of did...But I suspect the lack of trust is rooted in some unhealthy self depreciation. No fixing that.

It was the "police burned down a house to cover up a sex trafficking ring" thread when I realised era hasn't just driven away or banned the natural contrarians, the devils advocaters and the socratic methoders, and it hasn't just driven away or banned the fact checkers and claim verifiers.
Its driven away people who actually read the fucking things they post instead of just a headline that they got from someone on twitter

The problem with Resetti is pretty obvious; it's been hijacked by crazies. They were even made mods and admins to appease the other crazies.

or more succinctly basically this.
Admins like Nepenthe and poodlestrike are both dogmatic AND morons, which is the winning combo for promoting a healthy discussion

One thing I think would help is tamping down on the transitive property of badness. While it is rare to see someone actively being hostile to specific members about their interests, it isn't hard to see the general atmosphere of passive aggression surrounding certain topics. Using some examples of games I am not really into just to make a point, but I feel like Persona and DQ fans are often passive aggressively lumped in as "bad people" simply because they like media with problematic creators. There is so much passive aggressive "Oh, well x fans are trash because Y reason related to that media" and "I cant believe terrible people buy this trash" that it actively stifles discussion about anything other than the direct and specific problems with the media that have already been discussed to death. Is isn't just an era issue -- it's an internet issue in general, but the constant extreme polarization of things being Good or Bad with no space for nuance just increases the propensity for really hollow and unsavory posturing.

People in here, more often than not, assume the poster is posting out of ill intent, and not just out of ignorance / genuine curiosity.

The onus is not on us to read the mind of those posters to know what they really mean is it now.

 

[Clockwork5]

They have built the board they want. A place for people who endlessly victimize themselves to complain about how unfair the world is and a place for pseudo-intellectuals who side with said victims and spew logical fallacies under the cover of social justice in order to shield themselves from question and critique.

The first group isn’t so bad, a bit exhausting with the “This is why I am offended today.” threads but harmless enough and they even raise a good point from time to time.

The second group, let’s call them the “prominent users” have made that board a cesspool of internet bullying and have made the place even more attractive for the Nepenthes and the RedMercurys of the world.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I think it's kind of a strawman to portray anyone who's saying "i don't really partake in certain threads on certain issues anymore because..." is doing so because if they'd partake, they'd be wanting to post bigotry.

One middle ground could be to offer actioned posts people feel have helped build up the sentiment they hold.

So, what? If people don't willfully ignore a truck with two black teenagers in it getting perforated by armed "security" to spare the blush of the wannabe-anarcho-socialists who decided setting up an adult pillow fort was more important than pushing the city for reasonable concessions, you're going to drop the Leftier Than Thou Card on us?

Fucking have it, man. I doubt anyone wants to be a part of what you're defining the "Left" as.

If you're going to accuse anyone in particular of being a fascist, quote that person directly, you coward.

If not suddenly clapping because the Police are taking action because I'm "TIRED" of the things going on in my city is "holier-than-thou" then I'm guilty as charged. I see no reason to blame the protestors over the authorities when the authorities are responsible for the situation unfolding in the first place. People are all angry at the Protestors when it's not their decision if the Police never come back. If your first reaction to the Authorities incompetently doing their job is "Yes finally, justice" I'm not sure you're as left as you think you even could be.

I'm not as "left" as you, but I'm also not a fascist or a fascist sympathizer like some here would suggest. Fucking get over yourself.

The willful sandbagging of black lives being lost to the failure of this zone in favor of "ARE YOU LEFT ENOUGH?!" is pretty indicative of the problem.

Americans are stupid assholes and love guns.

You don't know anything about me, and I've decided to no longer give a fuck about proving my "progressive creds" to people who would call me a fascist/fascist sympathizer for not falling in line with everything they believe in. No. I'm not as left as you. So fucking what?

But I *will* take issue to people slyly suggesting I'm fascist, fascist-sympathizer, or some other flavor of awful, and then cowardly retreating to "I never called you a fascist, but if the shoe fits!"

[Nintex]

Not sure how anyone thought this was going to be a good idea in the first place, I'd say it were an interesting "experiment" were it not for the shootings and other issues the place went through and were unequipped to handle.

So the rumour that WB are recasting Cyborg in the Flash film seem to be true then.

He wouldn't be doing this if he still had a chance of coming back.....right?

Eh he might. If they fire him now it’ll be definitely a bad look on WB and DC especially in light of BLM. In fact, by doing this he might have secured his role as Cyborg in the future. At least as far as recasting. They could always just not include him in the movies.

That's a good thing then is it?

why are they saying Bully, wasn't that a Jack Thompson "video games cause violence" refrain
