Fuck it, whilst we are talking about bans nobody gives a fuck about, I got banned on resetera for stating a fact about domestic violence. I will NEVER get over this. Literally stated a fact that domestic violence increases during important football games in the UK. Banned. Banned for generalising a whole country as domestic abusers apparently. I emailed them with verified studies, NHS campaigns quoting these studies, but the ban would not be lifted.

The video game industry and its fanbase have been the source of some of the most globally vile shit in the past decade alone.

I was pretty upset when G*mers started civil wars in Yemen and Syria. :maf

The smash sex abuse stuff keeps getting worse and worse, the guy who owned the house (Sky Something) went on stream, apparently name dropped several times the names and usernames of victims and abusers despite being told not to, admitted to suspecting abuse all along while doing nothing and now several dozen people are saying he owes them money left and right.

Interestingly some people on ERA do want to pump slightly on the ever escalating  outrage breaks in this case :

So nothing has changed when it comes to trans people having the gall to just discuss their concerns around Contrapoints and the yass queen defense force suddenly coming in, shouting down people and derailing.

Seeing the same faces do it as the last times, that referred to us as "these people" before. Ya. Feels great. Thanks for the logo change tho.

I guess mocking yasss queen is now longer deemed homophobic.  :teehee

So, Im reading his streamerpedia, and it says that he declined an acceptance letter from Stanford University to become a doctor just because he enjoyed creating online content.

Is this even true? Because that sounds wild

I know it hurts friend to have your good name dragged through the mud only by stating a fact which is common knowledge for all of us in Europe.
For me it was saying that Poland was quite nationalistic and paranoid as they have a history of being sandwiched by Germany and Russia and have been a 'free' country for only about 30 years.
Which in turn has an effect on their world view and how they developed socially and culturally.
You can't just shake off being railroaded by fascism and communism but of course that made me a transphobic Nazi.

But you will get over the injustice and harassment in time. All of us have.

Now man up, we got a community to burn

JK Rowling joins 150 public figures warning over free speech
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53330105

I did find this bit amusing:

Quote
One signatory recanted within hours of the letter being published.

Jennifer Finney Boylan, a US author and transgender activist, tweeted: "I did not know who else had signed that letter.

"I thought I was endorsing a well-meaning, if vague, message against internet shaming."

She added: "I am so sorry."

It seems she failed to understand that a letter about free speech, is a letter about free speech. I'm so sorry I supported free speech, folks!

But VanDerWerff said she did not want Yglesias to be fired or apologise because it would only convince him he was being "martyred".

What was the point in writing to the editors then? What exactly do you want them to do?

Tucker is walking a fine line here he specifically talks about schools and indeed there is no science yet to support the effectiveness of the measures outlined.
In the Netherlands schools opened without the mandatory need for masks (in fact masks are only mandatory for public transport).
But there's a difference here in the approach with regards to different age groups. With most restrictions in place for universities and such.
On the flip side however, there's also no definitive evidence that the measures the US is implementing don't work. So they're mostly implemented in a better safe than sorry sort of way and you can't really tell if they work until you open op.
Plus the US doesn't yet have the level of control over the virus that other countries have. I feel that American Exceptionalism being blown the fuck out is the root of the 'problem' the conservatives are having trouble to cope with.

"If Germany and France can open schools and bars without masks, why can't the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD?"  :crybaby
The US for some fucked up reason really seems to consider this some kind of competition to see who can get the most tests, masks, lowest mortality rate etc.
and they've completely lost that competition despite no one else participating in dick measuring contest during a pandemic.

The science in Europe is now pointing more and more towards poor ventilation as being the main culprit for spreading of the virus, based on where hot spots appear from time to time.
Plans are being drafted accordingly to prevent a second wave taking that into account for care homes and hospitals and such.

You know what's scary? The original thread when everybody thought Depp was guilty.
Quote from: Pwnz
Agreed, and I don't think there's been any reflection on it. Statistical outlier and blaming the victim seems to be okay.
Quote from: K' Dash
Quote from: Bor Gullet
I mean, I get why. Lots of men in Hollywood were being outed, and Depp had a problem with drinking plus burning through his cash.

It was more logical to picture Heard as the victim.
You get why is OK asking for the blood of an innocent person before all the facts are laid out? I hope that never happens to you my dude.

Anyway, I'm out, this case hits close to home and I just can't see a hint of Heard's apologists before my stomach turns.
Quote from: Pwnz
But that shouldn't be all it takes to justify how that thread went. Depp had exes all vouching for his character. He isn't at all like Cosby or something where so many similar stories came up.
Quote from: Bor Gullet
Have you not seen any other threads when allegations against an abuser come out? Especially since on Era the importance of believing victims is always stressed.

I'm not sure you understand the issue with your comments. Let me use a simple example:

If I wrote an open letter warning people of the ills of voter fraud, would you sign it?

No, right?

Well this is the same thing. Unless you have some dark secret in your past that you're afraid you'll be "cancelled" for, there is no rational reason for fear-mongering about cancel culture. Same as there is no rational reason to fear-monger about voter fraud.

It doesn't exist, except when people lose their jobs, get deplatformed, or have their names dragged through the mud. It only happens in those moments, but not inbetween. The whole 'cancel culture doesn't exist' is just gaslighting at this point.

The thing is everything is happening so fast. It is pretty clear there has been a shift in the last 10 years or so. You notice it in various ways. Like the fact that every corporation and institution now hires diversity and inclusion officers. And these jobs are extremely well paid. There have been changes in education also. Changes in the curriculum and changes in practices and procedures. You see the language and jargon on forms and documents. Essentially every organisation and institution is trying to adapt to the changing climate. When every institution and corporation is trying to appear 'woke' it becomes increasingly difficult for them to support different opinions. And so, yeah, inevitably people get 'cancelled'.

This is how deluded they are: When JK Rowling saw an article in which women were described as 'people who menstruate' she said, "I think there is a word for that". To them if JK Rowling is now shunned by every institution, if publishers refused to publish her books, they would be okay with that. Because in their eyes she is a hateful person, so it is justified. Yet, the idea that simply stating a biological fact is somehow 'hateful' is completely deranged. The idea that we now have to use 'people who menstruate' to describe a biological woman is in itself completely deranged. If a man wants to be a woman, or a woman wants to be a man, fine. However, that doesn't mean we can no longer state biological facts. It's absurd. Yet, here we are.

If Google has a slide in the office, so do most other companies. In the video game industry, Valve was the inspiration for a while.
Valve has a storefront and an open office with no hierarchy, so should we.

People often think that a lot of thought goes into these decisions, but trust me no thought goes into those decisions.
Management hires some outside consultant because the company has some sort of problem or needs to rebrand, expand, restructure, reinvent, innovate etc.
and the consultant just looks at other successful companies. Sometimes they don't want to waste money on consultants so they just look at how others do it themselves.

At some point someone says: "Hire an "inclusion officer" to improve retention of employees and attract young people to your company". "You don't want the risk of missing out on millenials!"
And for a company that makes millions, spending 60k - 100k a year on a salary for that position to emphasize their 'core values' is cheap compared to not having new employees join (which is the risk they've been convinced of).

The real problem will arise when all the inclusion officers are send to the dumpster like the beanbags before them and something else is seen as more important.
And that will happen, as these things usually have a lifespan of about 2 - 3 years before there is a new trend. Very few of these 'things' have any staying power.
I'm not seeing it catch on the tech sector and they're usually trailblazers with these things. With reports of Google already scaling down those inclusion and diversity efforts.

It is pretty clear there has been a shift in the last 10 years or so

Growing up, religious groups would frequently get people terminated, projects cancelled, lives ruined because of their campaigns for content/actions they deemed wrong.

As their power and reach diminished, so did their effect. Artists would actually intentionally use their predictable campaigns as a way to garner free advertising (this didn't really happen until the late 70's  through mid-80's).

Periodically, patriotic groups have used their leverage to get people fired, projects cancelled or careers ruined because they were viewed as "unpatriotic" or deviants to the cause. Their power has waxed and waned based on what wars we are in. They get little windows of time to ruin people.


So, this idea that this culture is somehow new or unprecedented is wrong. It's always been there, just those that perpetrate it have changed as their influence/power has changed.

I would agree it has appeared in different forms. However, now we have the added problem of social media which amplifies it to an extent.

Well, social media trends do have a lot of staying power.

No, I simply enjoy message boards where you can still recognize the posters vs a place with thousands of anonymous users posting 'nice' with no identity of their own.

Every single person who signed onto this garbage fire of a "letter" is a racist, transphobic, myopic piece of trash. "Cancel culture" doesn't exist, and *freeze peach* does not mean freedom from consequences. Something needs to be done about these assholes and everyone sympathetic to them

What needs to be done exactly? Maybe we can silence them somehow.

Cancel culture doesn‘t exist!


Quote
Somebody send these assholes that picture of the tolerance paradox.

I am pretty sure Chomsky has read some of Popper‘s works beyond a really bad meme.  :brain

It doesn't exist, except when people lose their jobs, get deplatformed, or have their names dragged through the mud. It only happens in those moments, but not inbetween. The whole 'cancel culture doesn't exist' is just gaslighting at this point.

The thing is everything is happening so fast. It is pretty clear there has been a shift in the last 10 years or so. You notice it in various ways. Like the fact that every corporation and institution now hires diversity and inclusion officers. And these jobs are extremely well paid. There have been changes in education also. Changes in the curriculum and changes in practices and procedures.

This is how deluded they are: When JK Rowling saw an article in which women were described as 'people who menstruate' she said, "I think there is a word for that". To them if JK Rowling is now shunned by every institution, if publishers refused to publish her books, they would be okay with that.

To be fair, she really should have said "vaginal owners."

It makes sense for liberals to usurp the "moral majority," title and fight fire with fire.  But it really makes all talk of politics boring.  Every proposition ends with the argument, "because it's the right thing to do!"


"Do we really need a 1.2 million dollar bridge here?"

"Will a 2% tax credit for hotel maids affect anything?"

Response: Are you a bigot?  It's the moral thing to do!



It reduces all politics to being able to prove you are the most harmed, the most moral, or the most selfless instead of using practical judgement and fairness.  See: Excel

You misunderstand the rules of this game, my friend.
