I was well aware of domestic abuse and sexual assault issues before the SNES launched too.

Stripping out the identifier / trait / group or whatever and it holds true so often. It's a key to understanding why we can't just instantly group more than one person in to 'good' / 'bad' / 'neutral' with any reliability. Pretty much all humans operate along a wild spectrum of good and bad, right and wrong, and any rule you think you find can be broken.Thing is, you can still point fingers at problems even if you admit that you yourself are flawed. It's a foolish pride that pretends otherwise.

The Emperor summons before him Bodhidharma and asks: “Master, I have been tolerant of innumerable gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, transgender people, and Jews. How many Virtue Points have I earned for my meritorious deeds?”Bodhidharma answers: “None at all”.The Emperor, somewhat put out, demands to know why.Bodhidharma asks: “Well, what do you think of gay people?”The Emperor answers: “What do you think I am, some kind of homophobic bigot? Of course I have nothing against gay people!”And Bodhidharma answers: “Thus do you gain no merit by tolerating them!”
Choices like this aren't usually up to the production crew. They can't make a country offer up a work visa. No visa, no work.And yes, countries of all sorts will go to crazy lengths to protect jobs. Don't underestimate the power of unions and local laws.
Outrage culture is getting too much. Pick your battles, someone always has to be offended by something nowadays.

If I whip my dick out on front of someone and pee yes it is absolutely sexual, and here in certain states will lead to you being put on the sex offender list.I understand their point that John didn't intend for it to be sexual, but when other people are forcibly exposed to his genitalia, his intentions don't really matter much. It is an act of sexual assault to expose yourself to others without their foreknowledge whether it's for funsies or gratification.
I can't help but feel that criticism of barroman is just sly homophobia. It was apparently tomfoolery, should we be making judgement years after the event?

. In a fair just world this is not an issue.But I live on a planet were dark skin is actively used against me and others like me. Any progress towards prosperity, acknowledgement, respect, is hindered, sabotaged, or dismissed. So yeah using my skin color for your "immersion" is racist to me. Skin tone is altered in post all the time unfortunately sometimes to lighten black peoples skin.Anything is fair game for the sake of believability, why stop there for this stunt scene. Any actor can play any role if they can convince us its genuine, if this is o.k.

I will be real with everyone here. I have dealt with a ton of racism here in America. Does not matter if I was born here, I was different. I felt the hatred at a very young age. My family moved to a small town in Texas. We were one of two Asian families in this small town. I was met with racial slurs and physical violence. I was fighting groups of racist punks often time 1 on 5. I still remember clear as day, one of the fights went from outside school to a few hundred yards and ended up in a Church.Pastor broke it up, and I will never forget, turn to me and said why did I provoke them and what did I do and that he will call the police on me. That mentally broke me, this damn adult saw one kid vs 5 and put the blame on me. I never fully recover from that, I was always angry, always ready to rip someone's head off. If anyone slights me in any way I react with extreme prejudice. And I know for a fact it all stems from that. Sure that has subsided but it all came back. 30 fucking years in this country, and I am hit with the same fucking feeling that happen almost 20 years ago.If some of you know or remember. I was again assaulted at the start of this pandemic. I won't go into details but I laided that bitch out. Sure I said I did it to protect my son who was with me, but I will be real, I was looking to hurt this mother fucker. And ever since then I been on edge. Everywhere I go now, I assume some asshole is going to harm me and my family. I look mean, and I look like I am ready to rip someone's face off every time I step out this door. I am ready to fight at a moment's notice, and I fucking hate it.I find myself snapping at people now. Everyone that approaches me now I see as a threat. I hate it. A dude came up to me the other day just to ask for the time or something simple like that and I immediately took a defensive position. He was taken back by it and said there was no way he would fuck with me because I look like I was ready to murder someone. I hate feeling like this. And every time I tell myself I need to chill the fuck out. I see more and more violence. Yeah it's not stopping, so I am not stopping. Fuck this world.
There have been unfortunate tensions in this thread and others about the fact that some perpetrators of recent anti-Asian violence have been black or other POC, and some folks have been interested in stoking division between these communities and pitting them against each other. That's not okay.It's fine to discuss the background of these attackers, but when we do that it should be done holistically. For example, in this case and many others, the attacker has a history of violent crime and there is a discussion to be had about whether the justice system and attempts at rehabilitation are working. There's a discussion to be had about whether the DAs and police in these cities are doing their jobs properly and making them safe for all residents.What's not okay is fixating solely on the race of the perpetrators and making inflammatory generalizations based on a handful of cases. It is not okay to suggest that a few violent, repeat criminals are representative of the black community. It is also not okay to suggest that these attacks were somehow provoked by anti-black attitudes in the Asian community. All of this ignores that some of the worst recent incidents were carried out by white men.Don't make inflammatory generalizations period. Members that appear more interested in stoking divisions between marginalized groups than in having a constructive discussion will be banned.
The posters on this forum are "normally" intelligent enough to know that terrible people that happen to be from a community =/= the entire community
I'm getting pretty tired of posters who are taking, black attackers who happens to be white, and turning it into, white people attacking black people.There is far more nuance that needs to be discussed when speaking to the issues and barriers between these communities, but trying to use stories such as these to define the issues is not only ignorant, but incredibly harmful, and only serves to perpetuate the notion that these communities are against each other.Trying to simplify such a complex problem only serves to promote division.We can do better, and we should do better.
Can Era just compile all their pre-approved world views and opinions in one place so I don't accidentally get banned, thank you. It seems to change depending on whatever we're mad about that month so if we could keep it constantly updated too that would be great

Is it really that hard to not generalize a group of people?

I wonder how many of the *ahem* more animated and opinionated Black ERA members come straight from Thecoli.com forums.
Neogaf went alt-right.Resetera went alt-left.While we just talk about video games and console wars in here.
Both places are full of themselves. They claim to be so progressive, but they end up being rather oppressive.
we/black community are conservative, religious and we don't really fukk with cheeseburgers or the LGBTQwe are the opposite of resetera which are predominately posters that wear purple hair, post queer shyt like Reggie and have 30 body piercingsas I said before, Hate to admit it but it seems like Alt right care more about freedom than Alt left.and all our freedoms here might have something to do with itwe alt right breh, but we gonna be alright.
Right wingers and Thecoli both agree onWomen should be second class citizensWomen should not flaunt their sexualityBlack women are dependent on welfare, attention, other people (usually men's) moneyNo LGBTQCries about free speech in terms of making fun of othersFocus on the Nuclear familyAnd much more. The main difference that a WS will call you a n***** after agreeing with you for an hour
The purpose of this discussion is to start thinking about ways to bridge the gap on a micro level rather than a macro level.Recently, often times in the numerous threads centered on the topic of racism, it's become more of a commonality of aggression between members from both of these communities specifically. Most of the time the discussion surrounding these topics have been on topic, and provides nuanced discussion by the members of the forum. However, more often than it should, it has also revealed a significant divide from many of the members from both of these communities.Much of the time, these discussions will start rolling into a discussion of personal experiences and perceptions of the opposite community, whether it was taught them, or something heard in their community, and then using those examples to define the other community as a whole. Throughout these threads, doing this have only shown to create a bigger rift and divide between these two communities here, and have increased the hostility with one another.Banning those who have gone to the extent of fueling these fires are fine, but it's clear there is still tension which exist for many users from both communities. Whether it'd be mild, or bordering on severe, I don't feel that we should wait until all of the users here are gotten to that point of severe and just end up getting banned, which just doesn't actually solve the underlying problem which still exists within these forums.To me, this is a significant issue that I feel we need to all do better with, and let's start making that happen here with a more specific approach in addressing the issue.A few things that I want to note before people start posting, and it's just things to consider as this conversation starts rolling.There is nothing wrong with sharing your personal experiences and background in your engagement with the other community. In fact, I would prefer everyone share their experiences regarding their perspectives on this topic. However, one thing that I do not want this to turn into is that your experiences are then used to speak to the other community as a whole, or used as an attack on the other community. Any single action does not define a community. Consider the purpose of sharing your experiences, background, and stories. You should share these stories in hopes of helping those in the other community better understand your perspective.This is a collaborative effort, not a singular one. Be respectful of everyone's perspectives on this topic, as long as they are respectful as well. If you feel someone is not being respectful to the core of the discussion, just report the post to the moderation rather than derail the discussion. The intent and purposes of this thread is to work together on better understanding each other. This will be more difficult if we don't respect the space of which we all share together. This isn't a demand, but just a request for a sign of respect for one another.Feel free to ask each other questions if you see a post that you want further clarification on, or if you feel there is misinterpretation somewhere. Often times, in these kinds of threads where the topic can get heated quite readily, I feel that patience and clarity can often resolve any misunderstanding easier than not. Ask questions, even if you just want to make a post to the communities in general on a question you may want answered, feel free to ask them. Unless it's a question that doesn't respect a particular person or the communities, then you should be ready to come in with a curious and open mind.Often times, when we are making suggestions and solutions in these threads on the topics of racism, we tend to go with more of the macro approach of engaging with the topic outside of these forums, and things that could be done to bridge those divides. But I feel that in order to truly engage with those discussions, we have to first bridge the divide on a micro level within these forums and the community members.Anyone can feel free to comment. You don't have to belong to either one of these communities to provide your perspective. However, I do want to avoid any personal experiences as it relates to, "I have a friend who says...", if you're not a part of the community. Two reasons for this. Third hand experiences are never helpful when discussing issues such as this. I would prefer you not sympathize with the situation, but empathize with it, and empathy can only be done if the poster is willing to listen more than they're ready to speak. Make sure the comments you contribute engage the discussions from your perspective, and that would be the best way you can contribute.If you feel that moderation has been an issue surrounding both of these topics, I feel that would be better served for another thread, and not in this one. Everyone can have their opinions on how moderation engages with these topics, but that's not really the purpose of this topic, and can be better served by just sending a message to moderation concerning particular issues. This is neither here or there. The purpose of this thread is for these two communities to engage in meaningful discussion to try and resolve this current division we have with one another, and we should focus on that more than anything else right now.I am looking forward to the discussions we can all have together on this topic.What can we do to start bridging this gap here on Era within these two communities?

Both Seth Rogan and James Franco are evil people, imho.
Sorry, I got angry for a split second and just "mouthed off" there.From what I understand: I just don't like his liberalism and him working with CIA/FBI intelligence for some of his films.It comes off... Well, just shameful, in my eyes. I don't hate him or even dislike him, but I just feel that he's a Hollywood type through and through. Also, I genuinely don't like his work, ahahaha.But yes, I lost my cool there.Frankly, the problem with Hollywood is that we have too many people that are liberals and not leftists, to put it mildly; they're content with how things are, for the most part, even if they sometimes shine a light on the "ills of society" or something.Anyways, rant over.Sorry that I startled some people; I don't mean to be some guy that's just out to "shock" people, but honestly, I just don't have much patience for the rich and celebrities, and Seth must've at least known Franco personally to some level so... Idk. Guess I just lost my cool.My apologies.
I take back what I said.I'm very sorry.
I hate Joe Rogan, but no.Frankly, I more confused him with most celebrities. Well, maybe he's not like the rest, but I genuinely don't like rich people even though life is more complicated than my hatred against the rich and powerful so... Yeah. Sorry. Lost my cool, probably over nothing.
Nothing. I genuinely lost my cool, probably over some stress.I hope that the mods will let this one go; sorry for diverting the topic. I did so inadvertently.
