And yet, buying a gun will more likely hurt and kill you or your husband or your wife or your children or a completely uninvolved third part than it will ever help you.

Do they think guns are pitbulls?

So I don't want to see generic statistics on guns causing more injuries when 5+ assault rifle carrying white republicans that revolve their lives around gun ownership and are just now coming around on mental health being a thing are being lumped in with black democrats picking up a handgun just to feel that if the worst comes to worst they wont be a sitting duck

Is this braniac suggesting that blacks are less likely to use a gun for violence than whites? Or less likely to be a target for gun violence than whites?

What he thinks those statistics show: Black people get killed by white people with guns more. Gun ownership would be a deteerent.
What those statistics actually show: White people kill themselves with guns, black people kill each other. Gun ownership doesn't do shit in preventing that.

Royalan with the "actually I wasn't talking about you"

I wasn't just talking to you with that post. There have been multiple people in this thread boiling down Black people's motivations for arming themselves to feels (which, to be clear, is fair motivation enough. But when so many people in this thread have gone out of their way to give the history, boiling it down to that is more than a little reductive). If I were talking to you, I would have quoted you.

But since you're addressing me now, how about answering the question that I asked when I actually did quote you?

What a load of crap 

And talk about a leading question:

Should Black people have ever owned guns?

(We are now on page 10)

And when he doesn't get the desired response

I don't think any private person should be allowed to own a gun, no. I also don't think cops should have access to guns (see Ireland, Norway etc.)

That's not an answer to the question I asked you. It was a very simple question.

There are plenty!

That Wiki is so ego-cringe.   

ResetEra is an independent internet forum dedicated to the discussion of video games and contemporary culture. Founded in late 2017, ResetEra quickly gained prominence for being the source of a wide range of gaming rumors and leaks,[1][2][3] and members of the video game industry are known to also participate in discussions on the website.[4]

.....

On October 21, 2017, following allegations of sexual harassment by the video game forum NeoGAF's owner Tyler Malka, a majority of the moderation staff resigned, and the site went offline soon after.[5][6] During its shutdown, members of the forum flocked to the chat platform Discord in order to continue their discussions, and a group of former NeoGAF members took it upon themselves to create a new forum.[7]

Three days later on October 24, 2017, ResetEra was launched, with the initial wave of members composed of former NeoGAF users.[8] To deter internet trolls from flooding the forum, the ResetEra staff worked with the various communities to filter their members to ensure that unknown users were not part of the initial wave.

I like that they mention industry people as members who have notably quit posting there. 

In March 2021 after it was reported that the lead designer of Hogwarts Legacy published commentary that many found to be bigoted, the staff of ResetEra banned any threads about the upcoming video game

Did Slayven write that?

Bragg gonna get got

You're just using the same tired "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" nonsense rednecks have been claiming for years. In this thread alone I've seen variations of all of their "guns don't kill people, people do," "don't want to die on my knees," etc, greatest hit excuses.

We have data. Its been shared. It doesn't matter what's motivating people to get guns. We know [GROUP X] owning more guns = more of [GROUP X] dying from guns. The overwhelming majority of the time (like 90%+) people kill their own race. White people kill white people. Black people kill Black people, etc. More minorities owning guns is sadly only going to result in more minorities dying from guns.

Can you seriously argue that guns have been good for the Black community (or any community for that matter)?

"Gun violence has for the longest time been a public health crisis in the Black community."

i wish i had the luxury of being able to tut-tut people from halfway across the globe and throw statistics at them to try and get them to stop buying guns because of the very real threat to their lives on a daily basis

I wish people would stop using feelings to rationalize their anti-science behavior.

Should Black people have ever owned guns?

I'd like someone to seriously answer that.

Broadly speaking, no. I don't think we should have ever let citizens own guns, at least in the near carte blanche way we have.

Can you answer if guns been good for Black people?

Can't believe on Page 11 we get this wrong headed of a Question. Did you not read this thread at all, cause you wouldn't ask this otherwise.

Lol. The OP of the black gun thread isn't even American (Taiwanese).

"Fuck your facts, I've got third-hand opinions on my side motherfucker!"

Science and data doesn't take into account real life.

That's kind of the point. Science and data take facts into account you dumb fucking moron.

You don't get to ask more of my thoughts until you answer my question. Should Black people have never owned guns?

And "nobody should own guns" is not an answer.

thatsbait.gif

What a cunt of a human being...

Good. Not perfect, obviously, but better than waiting on all the broken promises to fix policing, let alone economic racism. Anti-gun fundamentalism hasn't done shit for anybody, and neither has the tunnel vision on gun ownership only being possible on the level of the individual.

Yeah, I'm done talking about this.

More guns won't make anyone safer and even though there's a multitude of data that shows that no one wants to listen to reason.

Solidly stupid pronouncement when there's literally white supremacists marching and menacing people anytime they think they have an opening. But that's the 'progressive' way, pay lip service to the brutality of policing against minorities in one breath, and excoriate those same minorities when they have the gall to take steps to defend themselves and each other in the next. You're either with us or you're with the frothing NRA gun cultists!

Can someone explain why on page 3 this is worthy of a three week ban, but by Page 8, this is what will get you banned?

The fuck is wrong with people saying this is a good thing.

I get that people want to defend themselves with all those right wing idiots running around like military while cops shoot blacks on sight.
 
But more guns is never ever a good thing cause it just increases the amounts of accidents and suicides.

And things like white idiots not wanting blacks in their gun club and now blacks forming their own "black only" clubs just leads to more tension and segregation.

Get your fucking gun laws straight and stop all that needless hate on any skin color. The color or your skin doesn't make you a good or bad person you are still a human being and should be treated as that, another fellow human being trying to live your life.

Sounds like.. prison. Where violence and mind games are an everyday occurrence.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing six initial actions to address the gun violence public health epidemic. The recent high-profile mass shootings in Boulder – taking the lives of 10 individuals – and Atlanta – taking the lives of eight individuals, including six Asian American women – underscored the relentlessness of this epidemic. Gun violence takes lives and leaves a lasting legacy of trauma in communities every single day in this country, even when it is not on the nightly news. In fact, cities across the country are in the midst of a historic spike in homicides, violence that disproportionately impacts Black and brown Americans. The President is committed to taking action to reduce all forms of gun violence – community violence, mass shootings, domestic violence, and suicide by firearm.

Look at these racists. Always knew Joe would show his true colors.

This is like the third time now. It's getting a little annoying... Just merge it back with NeoGaf and be done with it please. --2603:9000:CC02:4E00:4CCA:C406:D944:C216 (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

    Sorry to annoy you IP. As I stated in my edit summary I felt the subject met the criteria of inclusion in the encyclopedia. "Since 2019 the site has grown and its impact on the industry has increased. I've reviewed the previous incarnation of the article and updated it where I could. While web rankings are suspect ,ResetEra is a magnitude larger than its predecessor, NeoGaf by multiple analytical tools. It has also been referred to by RS "one of the internet's largest video game forums"" If others disagree, let's discuss why. Ckoerner (talk) 17:21, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

        Honestly, this article speaks like it was written by someone from that very forum itself. It's leaving out the warts (only criticism is on David Jaffe's relationship, which......it isn't), while overselling the other aspects, like the user ratio and notable industry figures who registered for the site. Specifically: How many of those notable industry figures are active lol? More specifically: How many of those notable industry figures have been active in the past year? More more specifically: How many of those notable industry figures have been active in the past few years? ResetEra is an offshoot of NeoGAF - same people, same members, same drama, renamed in an effort to distance from a single person. That's all it is: A rebranding, and in terms of industry recognition, nowhere near the level of clout GAF used to have. As a community, it is just incredibly insignificant when it comes to gaming hubs when compared to reddit subs, individual company Discord servers, or hell, even Gamefaqs. They've accomplished nothing of any significance, set no benchmarks of any kind, since their inception aside from their general toxicity and social media drama. And, I'm gonna gingerly put my foot down on this, they don't deserve to be rewarded with a Wikipedia page for that. They're a footnote on NeoGAF's main page at best, and considering how many times this has happened already...it's inevitably that this page is gonna get deleted and/or merged. Again. It's becoming an annoyance. --2603:9000:CC02:4E00:7524:11CA:354:339B (talk) 21:19, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

 

Absolutely SCATHING.

Why does this article ignore pretty much all and any of the severe criticism against Resetera? This article makes it sound like a helpful, positive website. Very bizarre to read.

To go in on the details:

Resetera has been at the helm of many toxic harassment campaigns against developers, development studios, publishers or otherwise people that they deemed "bad". You will probably ask for sourcing, which is difficult because these toxic actions always gain traction within the environment, then are executed on other platforms like Twitter. That shouldn't keep it from being mentioned, though.

Examples of the top of my head: - Calling Vavra, head behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance, was and is called a nazi, despite utmost evidence having cleared all suspicions. - Alec Holowka, indie developer, was driven into suicide by a random call from Zoe Quinn. Resetera helped making her story big until a person died. - Similar, Etika was ridiculed until he killed himself - CD Projekt Red an Cyberpunk 2077 are being called transphobic only for depicting a fictional cyberpunk world where genitals can be changed and used for advertisement. - recently, Sakurai, Nintendo and Smash Bros were accused of racism for not having more black characters in Smash - and countless more that could be added to their organized harassment campaigns

Then there's also the way that discourse is conducted on their forum: Having a "wrong opinion" gets you dog piled and banned. This is defended by labeling the "wrong opinion" as "bigot" or similar, and therefore the punishment is justified. Many of the above mentioned cases saw some users argue against and explain, but these explanations always fall on deaf ears and are dismissed.

Resetera has strong fascists leanings, openly expressing about changing the judicial system in favor or a court of public opinion. Relentlessly and without empathy nor mercy ruining the lives of those they chose as "having a wrong opinion". This extremist attitude should absolutely be expressed in any article about this community. There should be enough people that can add much, much more severe criticism to what I already mentioned. They're also pro-censorship, demanding any changes to topics in games they find uncomfortable. And last but not least their extreme hypocrisy where sexualizing female characters gets you banned, but threads about sexualized male characters are tolerated.

If you really find this community worthy a Wikipedia-article, I beg you to update the critcism section by A LOT. As it is, it's warping reality, and Wikipedia should strive to present facts and information, not propaganda. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D8:8F07:A300:101F:9780:F3EF:749A (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
