Just because something makes you money, doesn't mean it is work. Taking off your shirt isn't work. Getting on your knees and sucking a guy off on the other hand, is work. Masturbating on camera isn't work. If i get home from work and decide to jack off, i don't consider it a second shift.

You might think its work if you’ve been jacking off all day. Anything can become work if done enough times to remove any intrinsic enjoyment or if enough effort is poured into it to remove any satisfaction. Whether its a hardship is another matter.

[joeboy101]

It's clearly sexualised but I'm always amused by those realism takes. A shirt and pants aren't going to protect you from any of those monsters either you numbnuts.

Also let's criticize how REALISTIC a fantasy-action video game is where you run around fighting dinosaurs and shit with a giant cat while riding on a dog.

User Banned (Permanently): Troll Account

getting banned for a whole month just because I wanted to clarify what the word "racism" - a word a LOT of people use instantly without giving a second thought - actually means.
never change resetera and bye. this is no place to discuss anything for sure. enjoy your entitlement and rage about topics you don't even directly suffer from in the first place. banning a woman in a feminist thread because she had the nerve to speak up, gg mods
while you're at it, delete my account as I can't do it myself

I've been banned usually for passive-aggressive behavior and dismissive remarks. Last time it was for a full month over something i don't even remeber. I'm not saying mods are always right, but i suggest you to go back to the post that caused you ban and re-read it again, you may find that you were actually in the wrong (Not that i actually have anything to say in the matter, i don't know why you were banned, but i had to swallow my pride quite a few times since i signed up here, it's actually quite humbling)

More like swallowed deez nuts. Haha got eem.

As a man posting in this thread, I just wanted to say thanks to the people highlighting these problems in this thread. I thought I was already aware of most of the ideas highlighted in here, but it seems I’ve been more unthinkingly unresponsive about it than I realised.

Question: Is it right to be more concerned about mainstream media than niche media (because of it’s greater potential to normalise harmful implicit attitudes)?

I do find the difference between the prude progressives of Era and aggressively horny progressives of Twitter pretty fascinating.  Obviously mass differences in ideology even within a movement aren't a new thing, but it's funny to consider the ones of Era think they're more forward-thinking when they share more traits with the highly sex-negative and gender essentialist stereotypes of the second wave feminists.  It feels like the internet has only gotten hornier as time has gone on, so I doubt they'll be winning out in the long run.

[BadAss2961]

I think with Ree it's all mostly virtue signaling. At times they reach points that are completely impractical. Like the pay for porn thread, by all means, do your thing. But going by some of the logic in that thread, using any free site at all is piracy, and that you're also possibly condoning rape/revenge porn. Does anyone believe these people are actually vetting the porn they watch to make sure everything's kosher? And only consuming content they've paid for?

Or is it just a situation where they're also using all the free sites, but think they're woke because maybe they're subscribed to an onlyfans or two.

[Potato]

Which onlyfans is pirated and stolen as are camshows. Let alone people who watch the shows and dont feel the need to pay at all. It's super hard to make money for their work which is ravenously consumed people are so proud not to pay.

Taking out your tits for a photo, or diddling yourself on camera is not work. Jesus Christ.

Never understood this dumb take.
Playing games on Twitch isn't a real job, painting isn't a real job, playing soccer isn't a real job, fucking on camera isn't a real job.
Meanwhile "real jobs" become obsolete through outsourcing and automation, and the government has to step in to save people from hanging themselves.

The reality is, if you can find a niche within society to make a living (or part of it) out of, it's a job.

Sure. Doesn't mean I have to have any respect for the way you make your living though.

Yes this is the same logic people use with artists: "You're drawing for fun anyway, why should i pay you to have fun?"
Some jobs may or may not be more demanding than others, but that doesn't really disquilify them from being "real jobs".

Selling drinks at a bar isn't even remotely as hard as working your shift at the local coal mine, but you wouldn't laugh at a barman's face going "you think this is a job"?

Sure. Doesn't mean I have to have any respect for the way you make your living though.

Admiration? Yeah that's up to you.
Respect as human beings trying to make a living however they can, in an already very difficult economic situation? Yes, it does.

There are plenty of jobs that require little to no skill, and have even less career potential than being a Chaturbate hoe, say, cleaning up vomit as a janitor at the local school.
If you think that also doesn't "deserve respect", i don't know what to tell you.

If you can make a living without hurting others in the process (also not a given) you deserve a basic amount of dignity and respect.

Door to door salesmen targeting old people to sell their dogshit deserve less respect than someone showing their tits for money.

How is a post explaining the point over multiple lines of text "drive-by"? Seems to be their magical "apply when needed" bullet, every time, like the infamous "history of histories".

[Snoopycat_]

They really do everything they can to be as miserable as possible -

It started when we as a society made the shift to streaming - suddenly my weekend schedule wasn’t bound to “when the good games would be on.”

Then, we have the pandemic and the question of whether we should be trying to play sports in this time, combine that with growing awareness of gay / trans athletes, and the obscene amounts of money that even so-called “amateur” sports in the US generate (which has been known for a long time), and you’ve got a mess.

I always preferred college sports because they seemed more “pure” (grew up in the ‘90’s y’all) but if you still believe that today you’re just fooling yourself. Even my small D2 alma mater is in on the game, and it’s gross.

So I’ve got US college football being shitty, and the NFL by extension. Basketball is equally shitty (with its own unique problems). Baseball is surprisingly the stable guy here - until the next PED-abusing 14-year-old comes along. But I digress.

FIFA has the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and I can’t support that. I hope you will also not support that.

So I find myself at a loss. I’m more interested in small leagues, local teams, anything other than the growing conglomeration of (at least US) sports that seems to be happening.

I still love the game, the game has become shady though.

I've got loads of respect for people who clean up vomit for a living. It's hard work and there's dignity in doing a tough and essential job that others don't necessarily want to do.

Internet grifters and those door-to-door salesmen are essentially the same thing. Trashy put it well earlier:

The number of times that threads go out of control with people responding to thread titles with some kneejerk bullshit in an attempt to be "first" is getting ridiculous. The forum is near unreadable because of it.

There is 0 enforcement of the rules and that thread proves it and much more. Volunteer or not, stop hiding behind this sorry excuse that they’re volunteers and can’t be bothered to do the thing they volunteered to do. They shouldn’t be moderators if they can’t step up and do it.

Just look at the sorry state of this thread too. Not a single staff response in over a month. No discussion to be had. Sad state of affairs.

Talking "badly" about B-Dubs and his crew is the one thing you can do that'd guarantee a banning. No matter how valid the criticism is, or how respectful it is expressed, they don't want to hear it. They will call you a "troll" or being "dismissive" with concerns or some other bullshit reason they can think up to ban you to shut you up.
