Fuck the NCAA. If they were making as much money off the women's tournament as they do the men, I'll bet you'd see equal amenities then.

:pika

Could this be a new tactic? Hide your counterpoint to the threads narrative behind an agreed upon opinion?

Especially when the DC books/shows were diversifying the shit out of a lot of their stuff long before it was seen as positive publicity and a fiscally responsible thing to do (black Supermans and green lanterns, gay/bi heroes left and right, etc., whatever the hell Hawk and Dove were).  Hell, half the arrowverse is probably gay and they never played it off like it was special or something, just normal everyday living.

do you know anything about comics?

genuine question non-shit thread topic kind of

I was curious about comicsgate and did a small dive earlier trying to find info on it and it feels like there's scarcely anything about what played out past the initial furor

from what I gather it's like, bros claimed marvel was doing the whole go woke get broke thing, introducing changes left and right that they hated, kamala khan, riri williams, female thor, straight white captain america was secretly a nazi, all this stuff

they liked saying that all these changes were made for pandering and nobody was actually buying these comics, but people on the other side argue that there was a massive comics slump and every comic was selling badly at the same time, but some woke comics were doing well, but I can't find any citations either way

I know for a fact kamala khan was/is popular

what's the current state of all this?  have any of these changes stuck around, and if so was it a giant nothingburger and they're selling just fine?

it feels like an un-googleable question

I do remember when marvel announced new heroes snowflake and safespace, met with general disapproval from both political leanings, and to date the characters have not appeared in anything

No changes of this type sticks around. Comics don’t sell the numbers they need so publicity stunts like “gay Cap” are not uncommon, specially in the Marvel side, since more of a decade. But Comicsgate was kind of a nothingburger because they ignored the context (female Thor Identity was actually a well established old character) or ignored that the changes were not permanent (is not even the first time that Iron Man is a minority).

I think the answer is more simple: influx of new and casual fans thanks to the films. People that are mostly new to reading comics but bitch about It at Tumblr and imageboards. So you have people of both political spectrum demanding things that are mostly trite in insight, you have old fans and creators getting sucked in the political maelstrom (some were already pretty open with their politics but others got really worse). And both companies don’t really care of comics beyond trying to justify their investment on the publishing side of things.

makes sense  :like

although it seems some of those "changes" did stick around, if you count them as changes, from what I see kamala is going strong and riri is still a character...iron man's just not in a coma anymore so they both exist

There's so much potential for self-reflection in this thread. Time for these humourless fucks to realise that they have created an absolute authoritarian dystopia where people are constantly looking over their shoulder and others are disappeared without trace for innocuous comments or imagined slights. Instead they just pine for neogaf without realising they are the ones who fucked the whole thing up and handed the reigns to a money-hungry racist who doesn't even bother posting any more.

User banned (1 month): Aggressively dismissive rhetoric in a sensitive thread. Show more tact when many are angry and grieving over a recent tragedy.

Some of you guys here are getting worked up over nothing because you barely spend time outside of your own online bubbles. People start affirming that what Biden said is self-evidently wrong, no questions asked, when that isn't the case.

Biden specifically put the "we don't know the motive yet" precisely because some media outlets and local authorities were running with the shooter's own description of his motives before there was any investigation. But we don't know yet. He infers racism with the rest of his tweet and other statements he's given today. He's the president, and after 4 years of Trump it might be weird to see a president deferring definitive statements about motive and suspects to the proper authorities, but Biden can't go and just state for a fact specifics like motive, suspects, etc.

It's always been like this with Biden. People really just decide right away he's saying everything for the wrong reasons or something.

RE mods locked it before it escalates further

3. I'm getting the tape digitized next week and have pulled the property records for my house. I'm fairly certain I'll be able to locate the former owners or their son(s?). Once I do, and with clearer knowledge about the lyrics and songs they were singing, I'll just ask questions if they are willing to answer them. I'll be totally disarming in my normal way, so I see no reason why they wouldn't talk to me lol, unless they really are a part of some hate group or another.

I'll report back if I make connection with any of the former owners, and once I have the tape digitized, what the name of the band was if I can tell more clearly.

If anyone has any questions they would want me to theoretically ask, put them in here and I will take note of the best ones.

They're actually getting mad at Wonder Woman's outfit now. I guess as soon as it's not directed by Patty Jenkins it's now super oppressive to have her show skin

The ass shot might not be in Snyder's cut, but WW is plenty sexualized in his version too. I mean, look at the way she's fucking dressed in every scene, with the high heels and backless shirts and shirts with shoulder cutouts. I hope you noticed all that before deciding to call me ignorant.

Royalan with some truth

Quote
Uh, not trying to talk over this discourse, as I am not a woman and can't claim authority over this discussion. At the same time...

Feminism != Masculinity.

Wonder Woman is not a less feminist character because she wears heels or backless tops. One of the pillars of feminism is that all women are equal and valid regardless of how they choose to present themselves. In 2021, this shouldn't be hard.

Like what? This “age of accusation?” So we should just go back to the early 1900’s where gay people couldn’t come out, black people had to know their place, and trans people couldn’t be who they are? Guys I guess women should just keep their experiences with sexual assault a secret. Don’t want to be accusatory towards harmful people. Gotta think about the bigots and abusers I guess...

Man I am soooo fed up with this shit.

Literally her essay about being the survivor of sexual assault and how being attacked by "the trans community" makes her feel like that did is what escalated the harrassment campaign against her into full on culture war

Blaming the games media for ignoring LIS2, lol.

From the LIS2 reveal thread:

I would say I'm disappointed, but to be honest I'm not massively surprised I feel this way. I just don't think DONTNOD really understands why people loved Life Is Strange, but I'll give it a chance of course.

How are yall judging the game just cause the trailer and then cause its two brothers? Is it because its not 2 white chicks?
Eh, I can't get mad at people who are disappointed in this kind of shit when the entire fanbase was built upon a story centering on a demographic of people who never get games with this kind of production value.

Quote
Would you play a Zelda without Link? A God of War without Kratos? A walking dead without Clementine?

Maybe, just maybe, they mad a huge mistake.

Quote
Low key it is kind of fucked up that they Dotnod kind of got out there because of the "female protagonist" story they told and ever since they had their first hit all of their subsequent games have had male leads.

Kinda sad that Era apparently didn't yet notice that Firesprite's AAA multiplayer game turned out to be Star Citizen. Quite a few ponies were hyping it up, thinking it would be a new Socom or MAG or Killzone or something else Sony related.

Look who’s upset that people are getting paid for their posts online.

Oh, I figured out why incelchief has sand in their vagina about this; glen greenwald is on it, who I only know of because incelchief has a grudge against them and regularly posts totally reasonable points as 'evidence' of how awful they supposedly are.

McCammond apologized for the tweets before, when they surfaced in 2019 while still employed at Axios. The tweets resurfaced again over the weekend after Condé Nast announced her hiring on Friday. On Monday, a group of more than 20 Teen Vogue staff members sent a letter to management expressing concerns about McCammond's past tweets.

Welcome to the future, kidos

Aaand she's gone

Seems excessive over tweets that are a decade old and something she apologized for twice but I guess that's "consequence culture"

ResetEra is no longer a safe, welcoming space for minorities. I would argue it has never been one.

I take no joy in saying this whatsoever.

Some of you may know my story. I was harassed by racists based on being an Asian-American. When I went public with this after over a year (naming people I suspected), Era staff said I was lying for attention.

This is not relitigating that - I made my peace with that situation long ago. I have not been a member of the site for two years now.

This is about someone else's story.

This is about the lack of support the minority communities have on the site.

The Asian community on Era has been devastated by years of casual racism and sinophobia, which has continued unchallenged. Even today, in a devastating week for Asian-Americans, things have been exacerbated.

The 'yellow peril' narrative of a Chinese company stealing someone's personal data and selling it to the Chinese government continues, unabated, on the site. When COVID-19 first became prevalent, discussions about it dissolved into racism immediately ('I heard you get it from eating bats!' - 'We won't get it here, our living standards are better than in Wuhan!', etc).

The Black community has been attacked from day one - racists attacking them both on and off-site, attempting to dox them, gaslighting them with coded phrases, and doing it in a saccharine sweet 'civil' way to get black members banned for angrily defending themselves.

It's 'easier' to see anger and cursing and just action that. That is not the way to protect a community. That is how you lose a community.

The Trans community has had to defend themselves for years from transphobic users. There have been multiple instances (lately with Cyberpunk 2077), where most posters would blatantly ignore the trans community's issues with the game's content, posting things like 'looks great, can't wait!' and 'why are you so upset?', tacitly stating that they don't care about the issues - they just wanted to play a video game.

Questions:

'Why does it matter? It's just an online message board for video games, right?'

For many people (including myself), it is a large outlet for socializing - a wonderful way to stay connected and build friendships.

For some, it is the -only- outlet. That should hold weight, and responsibility. It matters.

'What about X thing Era did to support? I thought they've been great at supporting progressive causes?'

Yes, Era staff have done things like change the logo for Black History Month, ban games based on content/the creator's views, and pinned threads with donation links.

All these changes are performative at best. They don't serve any lasting purpose besides making the people supporting these things feel better.

All the minority communities have requested for changes. There's been many 'closed-door' conversations with Era staff and minority communities. None of them have ever gone well.

Known racists continue to post on the site. They are either protected because they are part of a community a staff member favors, or because they haven't been racist 'on the site' yet.

All these things, small and large, lead me to discern these things:

Era is run like a business, not a forum.

Staff bias is protecting larger communities at the expense of smaller minority-led ones.

It is not a place that can handle matters of racial, sexual, or gender identity whatsoever. Most are met with complete apathy.

'Why go so heavy now? I thought you were over this?'

From a personal perspective, I am. But the events of this week (and last year), lead me to believe that I made an error staying silent for so long, and for not stepping in and standing up sooner.

My tale should be a cautionary one - an extreme outlier, never to be repeated. I fear it is becoming the norm. And that angers me.

If one person reads this, and is avoids a comparable situation to mine, then it's worth speaking about.

'TLDR it for me'

OK.

If you are a minority poster on ResetEra, take steps to protect yourself. If you feel like the community is not supporting or welcoming to you anymore, speak to your friends. See how they feel.

Group chats exist. Discords exist. There are safer ways to hold a community online now.

If you aren't a minority poster - if you see casual racism, transphobia, etc, call it out. The more things like this don't get challenged publicly, the more people will think it is acceptable.

It's simple.

Just do your best.

Well, that's one way to describe shilling the epic game store hard, trolling PC gamers, then getting rando twitter users calling you a stupid cunt then naming rando era Pc gamers as being secretly behind it I guess.

A fucking stupid way of describing it, admittedly, but a way nonetheless.
