The internet truly is awful.

A man died and his brother is an awful human being. You want to fix things? Stop wishing death on people. Vote the shitbag out, prosecute him, and support progressive candidates. Getting stuff like that trending isn't going to bring the temperature down and will only lead to more Trumps. He's probably going to relish in the fact that it's trending and frame himself as a victim to his supporters.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

I'm not sure why Bdubs hasn't removed that rule.  It's not like the userbase would be upset over it gone nor is it a means to cover their asses since celebrating death is a pretty mainstream bipartisan action on social media at this point.  Like there's a bunch of genuinely evil people in the world that would be cause for celebration if they died (not necessarily counting Robert Trump here as I know nothing about the guy). 

I'd question what they'd do when Trump himself dies, but I can't imagine the site lasting that long unless he literally dies this year.

People are mad that an authoritarian, racist fascist whose policies directly killed 150,000 americans alone is still calling the shots and you've decided to tone police them and ignorantly assume that they're not voting or being active in other ways.

Amazing.

I don't think they know what the word directly means.

An awful person died and his brother is awful too.

 

I really don't give two shits if some rich dude I never knew died and since he was a Trump that didn't speak out against the family you know he was in some shit.

 

You understand the man you're defending right now right? Wishing for his death and voting him out aren't mutually exclusive, I'd love for both. He is a fucking pox on this Earth and a heart attack can't come soon enough.

Wait, which Trump died again? Because this is making me confused.

Because their carefully cultivated userbase are vitriolic cancer and its to stop shit like, if miyamoto dies getting people going "good, I hope it was painful, now I hope the rest of INTSYS die in a fire so they'll stop ruining Paper Mario" or some equally wtf level of disconnect from humanity

Stinkles still duration pending nearly 10 days later.

With this little gem from a modmin in the Asian summit responding to a question about what a duration pending ban means:

In the interest of giving people a chance to learn, bans rarely are a perm the first time around. But repeat behavior related to bigotry definitely will lead to a permanent ban.

[benjipwns]

  THE MOD ADMIRAL'S DURATION PENDING WATCH FOR AUGUST 16, 2020

OPTO, HEROMANZ AND PAPA SATANUS: DURATION STILL PENDING (26 DAYS - NEW RECORD!!!)
SUPREMEWU: DURATION STILL PENDING (25 DAYS)
BDS: DURATION STILL PENDING (13 DAYS)
KILROGG: DURATION STILL PENDING (12 DAYS)
FUNKYMUNKY: DURATION STILL PENDING (10 DAYS)
FRANK O'CONNOR: DURATION STILL PENDING (9 DAYS)
KETKAT: DURATION STILL PENDING (9 DAYS)

At the very least, make her ban temporary with a clear duration (not a "pending" that might just quietly turn into a perm; "pending durations" are just dumb and often feel like a way to quietly sweep permabans under the rug btw).

I am not going to post more than once in this thread because I know my view is in the minority here.

I haven't seen Ben's video. The man is a loser and lacking in intellect.

However even a large proportion of left-wing non-religious people dislike how such music becomes the most popular music among girls. They especially dislike how it's become almost ubiquitous for female pop starts to be sexualized. This cannot be good for their mental heath. The lack of alternatives it not good.

Left-wing people like this do not normally post on forums. But we shouldn't just dismiss their views without thought.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

White Europeans: Hey look, our chefs took this "ethnic" cuisine and made it mainstream so that it could be appreciated by the masses. It wasn't copied, it was re-imagined -- food should be free from regional boundaries. We also took this cute street food from (insert non-white culture here) and elevated it into a gourmet dish. It's totally authentic!

Also white Europeans: No, you can't make this food item and call it the same thing -- it can only come from and be produced from this small region. You can't reproduce this food without understanding the deep and rich cultural background that produced it. If you do that you're just a fraud trying to devalue the meaning of the product or are tricking gullible consumers into buying a pale imitation.

It's almost like there's a difference between a general recipe and a product made using very specific ingredients only obtained or prepared in a very specific manner from a particular region whose geographic properties contribute to that preparation

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Also this guy;

I am very reluctant to call this cultural appropriation.

who was so mad a white girl wore a chinese dress to her prom he invented a whole narrative about her doing so specifically to mock the chinese, and then got all of her friends to do a pose that - despite having a far more rational explanation as to why they were all doing that pose - decided half of them were irrelevant and the other half were also all joining in with this one girl specifically to mock the chinese 

[VomKriege]

And there comes a point where the name of the location the product originated from becomes ubiquitous with the product itself. Are we supposed to find a new name for Champagne because it wasn't grown in the specific region of France?

Well yeah... Because that's how it is now. 

[SmokyDave]

I quite liked this comment on appropriation from the 'ethnic clothes' thread (on the subject of Nikki Minaj cosplaying Chun-Li):

Oh man this is always just one of those things where I'm like... ehhhh yeah that's actually not cool BUT I don't really want to start shit about that (I dislike minorities fighting each other out of principle) so.... I'm going to close my eyes and pretend I don't know about it and hope people will see this and be like yikes no and not keep doing it.

'It's only a problem when white people do it' is a stance that I can actually understand (seriously, no sarcasm). It's refreshing to see a reset poster be honest about it.

[VomKriege]

I'm fine with the sharing and transmission of cultural products like food and clothing, it's when it's turned into some kind of joke like those photos that I draw the line.

 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

era: I don't get why its a big deal to call some generic foodstuff the same thing as a specialty food from a particular region prepared in a specific way

Reason User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing yellowface

It’s a film where every race plays every other race including their own.

I could understand if The Wachowskis did what they did instead of hiring an Asian cast member and replaced them with a more well-known actor who wasn’t Asian. Or if what they did served no purpose.

But the decision was not just to help communicate the film’s theme of everybody being made from the same cloth - no matter one’s physical makeup, but in pure filmmaking terms, it was a $100m+ film of not just equal race and gender representation, but a film that sought to involve every represented race in representing one another.

You accusing the Wachowskis of being problematic racists due to their effective efforts at communicating a resounding message of tolerance requires an enormous amount of cognitive dissonance.

Seeing the Biden threads in Off-Topic is just... baffling. Purity tests, loaded titles, people that still act like Biden is somehow as bad as Trump (or worse). Do they not understand what's at risk?

It's a gamer site. Therefore it's loaded with secret Trumpers.

That's one of the main functions of ERA.  For people to "police their own," by outing members of their tribe that are not pure enough.

Donald Trump is without a doubt pretty much the worst POTUS ever and a horrible human being.

But you people's reactions in here are a fucking disgrace and disgusting beyond belief. Seriously. You gross me out. Absolutely sickening.

curious what the ban message they're going to cook up for this guy will be

[Nintex]

Yeah the sentiment is pretty weird. Trump seemed to hang out with his friends (Rudy, some golf buddies) after his brother died.
Which you know is not that strange to do when a loved one dies. Everyone handles grief differently.
It's also not that weird to bring it up during his rally with the New Yorkers, Trump himself is a New Yorker as was his brother.

Still, with Trump it gets weird when he says stuff like: "I had a great relationship since day one" but that's Trump I suppose.
Plus Trump is very disrespectful when other people pass away in general so he sorta had it coming from people who want to sink to his level.

[Clockwork5]

Nikki Minaj dresses up as Chun-Li - crickets

High school girl wears Chinese dress to prom - Let’s ruin her life. You know what to do boys let’s get her name, school, hometown, part-time employer and best friends all trending on twitter so we can all slide into her personal life and make it a living hell.

It’s all absurdity and hypocrisy. Sure, things may be more problematic when done by whites, due to symbolism and the history of white colonialism touching just about every race and ethnicity on the globe but come the fuck on. These people are total pieces of shit.

Unless something super positive happens for Trump that narrows things considerably, I’m decently sure there isn’t an amount of fuckery that could overcome his current deficit outside our actual election systems getting hacked on a widespread basis.

Well McCain is a war criminal (Era lore)l  I mean he volunteered to drop bombs on the Vietnamese.  I guess because he hated them so much?  And for some reason he was never arrested.

He is. It sucks that he seems to have so many issues in his private life.

Your problem is using facebook youtube and insta. Facebook literally tries to push that shit on you, Youtube doesn't necessarily but the algorithm definitely favors the shit. Use twitter.

 

[VomKriege]

Every now and again the algorithm will try to sneak some fuckbois into my YouTube recommendations and I can't ever figure out what causes it. Like, I got some Thoughty2 content one day who I admittedly watched, but then proceeded to quickly block when he started raving about how Ricky Gervais was sticking it to SJWs at the end of some video. All I watch are Let's Plays, art, animation, and film shit, science stuff, music, and Pokemon battling. So I don't know why YT insists on trying to put me on the pipeline. Like...bruh.

Asian Summit is going well

https://www.resetera.com/threads/takeaways-from-meeting-with-asian-members.269460/post-42727437

[BIONIC]

Hard disagree that it was productive.

A whole lotta y’all out there in Era are racist fucks.

Looks like you mods still got a loooooong way to go. Oh and I’m chiming in to say fuck the racists on this board.

We tried ERA. But personally it was a waste of time for me.

I hope I'm wrong and things will get better and I'm sorry to the Asian era and other minorities/lgbt etc members who have left in droves over the years due to constantly being talked over or ignored. This place was supposed to be better than this.

Y'all didn't do shit and now you're patting yourselves on the back for a job well done.

This is some performative bullshit. You should go back and actually address some of the users with the tougher questions instead of ignoring them and hoping that no one would notice.

As a non-white person, this forum mainly feels like white people shouting down at you and if enough of them band together, the mods side with them.

Thats why I post so little and try to never engage in debates or reply to members.

I'll add another voice to the disagreement that it was productive.

Pretty successful summit.

But please stop throwing out this apologist argument that it does not affect the overall success of the Xbox SeX as a platform. At this moment what premium experiences are we looking at out of Xbox by holiday 2021? Halo and Psychonauts? Where as likely on PS5 by holiday 2021 we are highly likely to have 4-5(Miles,Horizon, Ratchet, GTA, God of War 2) 1st party exclusives that will make a good case for customer to pick that platform instead.

"The thread will stay open until all concerns are addressed, for as many days as it takes."

Clearly the concerns weren't addressed or came to a solution.

It just seemed like mods put on their HR hats on with everything they said in the thread and the whole thing came across as very corporate and performative. So when users were still frustrated and not appeased, mods probably got exhausted because they didn't know what to do so just closed the thread. However the promise was broken of keeping the thread open. Why do these minority community meetings have such short durations and are shut down? It adds to the top-down nature that mods and admins control the conversation. Which is a shame because there are some mods who are amazing and a beacon of light in some threads.

Era mods really have the balls to fake interest in supporting minorities huh

Our takeaway: lol y'all learned nothing.

Why do y'all use so much corporate speak? Speak so much time crafting long essays full of nothing? Even with that many words you cherry picked the takeaways and ignored concerns. No wonder none of you have time to actually moderate.

Also, a couple members brought up how poorly muslims are treated on this forum, literally no mention. Era is a white space. Racism, corporate talk, protecting your own, targeting, favoritism, tone policing, and so on. For all the progressive paint slapped on, this is just a white lib playground.
