Nixtamalization was specific to mesoamerica, not southern US and in fact was not well understood by the European settlers. That lack of understanding caused malnourished and famines. That carried on to Europe, where they tried to grow and use it. They failed, and they also has starvation because the same methods were not understood.

Grits, and corn grains appropriately treated, happened much later. Grits, as it is today, is very different and it's use and flavor profile is distinctly derived by later southern Americans in the US. While some understanding was passed on, it was actually advancements in grain processing that gets us grits as we know it today.

Im not coming at you but your even bringing this up, as some weird subtle "well 300 year prior corn meal was made by the Aztecs" is super weird. Like a weird gotcha.

Point being here, is food evolved and changes regardless of it's origins and becomes something different. I do think it's reasonable to attribute grits with the people and culture at this point which have been making them for a couple hundred years since they are distinctly different at this point.

So cultural appropriation is good?

Era members currently supporting the Leopards Eating Jerk's Faces party, not really remembering how the other part of that joke goes.

The underlying point conditional pancakes is making is about doing the right thing, even when that's hard, because doing the right thing when its easy isn't something you should slap yourself on the back for being awesome about (although era regularly do).

Its the same deal as when you had people saying "when they go low, you go high" and era acted like that's some bullshit restriction being put upon them not a facet of doing the right thing instead of being just as much a piece of shit as 'the other team'.

It's like complaining "how come frat boys get to date rape women by drugging them / plying them with booze to the point they can't consent, and I got to rely on my charm, looks and/or personality?" like its some unfair restriction being put upon you, and not just the fucking right thing to do.

I mean, it'd be one thing if they really believed "Stick to the rules, and if you don't you're at least partially to blame if you get killed", but try bringing that up in the next police shooting fatality thread and see how far that gets you.

Its beyond that... it's people getting angry at asking to uphold an ideal they themselves demand, like its some bullshit rule thats being unfairly applied to them.

Like... describing it as "cruel" to suggest maybe do the absolute bare minimum of respect for the loss of human life, which is to just not openly gloat about it. How the fuck is showing the tiniest bit of mercy 'cruel'?
That's like saying "stop being so greedy" for suggesting maybe don't steal from charity boxes

I don’t know much about Asmongold, but if he’s pissing them off this much he must be doing something right?


Maybe he’s not a good person, I don’t know, I don’t really care (*gasp!*). But his reach that was able to tell 100,000 impressionable young adults and kids that what blizzard did is wrong and women deserved to be respected, and treated as people is far more powerful and possible to change minds, much more than a 5000 word hissy fit in your meticulously constructed thread about why he’s a bad mean man.

Thinking like this is why republicans kicked democrats squarely in the crotch in 2016, and you learned nothing apparently. Democrats are too busy proving who’s closet is the cleanest, and championing their performative wokeness (as long as people are watching, hopefully), and excommunicating anyone not up to a arbitrary level of virtue. Yea that sucks there aren’t an over whelming number of “heroic people that measure up”, but that’s life, learn to adapt or just cry about it and continue being irrelevant outside your echo chamber.

Or maybe there can be change, but those mindsets need to be forged, not everyone is a shut in, trapped in their own heads, posting online 24/7, to formulate their persona and better themselves. Asmongold reaching out to people who wouldn’t be caught dead with a RE account might just start a bit of a change that makes things better in the future. But it won’t have anything to do with RE…..

The wording in that page is bad, using words like "modernizing" was asking for trouble, but of course getting upset at people for adapting food for a different culture (or just their own fucking taste) is always idiocy.
At best you can ask they don't call it something it's not anymore, but that's about it.
And of course something race fetishists always do is consider these large vast geographic and historical areas as convenient blocks, when really, many of said foods were adapted and "borrowed" around in those very areas, before Karen came along.
Many Italian dishes share elements with northern Europe, North Africa, Greece, etc.
So "Asian food" is really a meaningless term, if you consider it some kind of monolithic sacred menu.

Much as I'd love to read the deep and knowledgeable mind that produced such a nugget as 'the same white supremacy that connects all black people not just in America, or Brazil, but on this planet', I think I've got a window to clean or something to sort out in the shed.

Nothing unites all 'x' people on this planet. Talk to enough people and you'll soon figure that out. Most defined groups of people have a fucking ton of infighting.

In light of the current trends of anti-Asian sentinment in the West, yes it is issue.

The newspaper you linked is SCMP and the author is based in Hong Kong. Of course he would think it wasn't such a big deal. He isn't surrounded by white people and Karens 24/7, and have to deal with cultural appropriation and Anti-Asian sentiment on a daily/weekly basis. Asian-Americans do. And this white American lady is profiting off Asian culture at an inflated price while Asians are getting attacked on the streets.

And while it may not be the biggest issue right now, what she is doing is totally tone-deaf and she should most definitely be called out and shut down her business.

Hong Kong? the island literally stolen by Britain because China had the nerve to try and stop us selling Opium to their citizens? That Hong Kong? That was a British territory until 1999? and has fucking "anti-asian" (specifically anti-chinese) actual fucking riots in the street that you may have heard about just last year?

Well of course they don't know what oppression is. People in america make fun of asian driving!

Good. ReserERA should ban Activision-Bluzzard, Ubisoft, Insomniac, and Naughty Dog too.

Yes, I think whatever actions Era takes is much more about what kind of community do we want to be rather than about effecting some corporation's bottom line.

Yep, not ever would I think an action on ERA would hurt a company, for example that whole Cyberpunk thing. Hoewever, it is a way to show what kind of community ERA is and what it stands for, and not letting shit like this slide.

They wouldn’t even ban a single game, Cypberpunk, that had problem after problem arise. While kept giving passes to a member who ended up making them look like fools when he was ban prior for offenses, meaning moderation never bother to look into complaints against that member, Especially with pathetic Explanation before and after.

I would like some meaningful action but I have no hope for this place to try anything.

The inmates are getting louder in their demands of ResetERA mods banninig entire publishers and developers from the forum. They even admit this won't actually do anything and it is just virtue signaling and backpats for them, but they don't care. This is what happens when mods capitulate to weirdos and trolls like Kyuuji on CDPR/Cyber Punk 2077. They always demand more and more later on.

Will be interesting to see how B-Dumbs address this. Historically speaking, he capitulates to the mobs, with the sole exception being TransERA trying to get a mod kicked for saying "pound sand."

This is coming dangerously close to calling out ResetEra moderation and the site administration as a whole. I’d be careful.

Okay and? If moderation can't handle a little criticism then they aren't fit for position. Let me get out ahead of an incoming message with this: I do not condone harassing moderation. But moderation isn't perfect and it is okay to say that.

The mods have enough sense to not allow that to happen. Despite what users like Kyuuji or ZeoVGM or Crossing Eden think, turning ERA in GamerGhazhi 2.0 will be the death of the site. It will just accelerate the path ERA is already on: irrelevance.

Kyuuji is disingenuous as hell, but she's not wrong here:

Not sure why people are acting like the push against Cyberpunk was to dent their business, over making it so that trans people here didn't have to see a transphobic product and company celebrated through roof and rafters.

There's a focus on numbers and influence and whatnot, but that should be purely a staff concern and not a community one.  If the site's mission statement is to protect marginalized groups to the point they should never be uncomfortable with the userbase of the site, why not do that?  If that means losing a good portion of the probably 70-80% cis white male userbase, oh well?  Who cares if there's no effect on the industry (or worse, even less people are aware of those issues) as long as the site can exist as a safe space for those already there.  The onus isn't on a niche video game forum to change things, just like the onus shouldn't be on marginalized groups to interact with those that hate them (even though it's scientifically proven that bigots can only be converted through kindness).

If they actually did commit to it, here's what should happen.  Game/company threads will be limited to controversies/social issues and raising awareness about them.  Marginalized groups on the site (honor system, so no doing what that one black subreddit did) will be allowed into a hidden OT where they can talk about aspects of the game beyond the controversies surrounding them as a sort of safe space, mainly so they don't have to see some white male in an open OT ignoring the pinned post and just go on about quest lines and stuff like that while never having to engage with the social issues. Indie games/companies with no known problematic aspects will be exempt from all this and can have OTs like normal.

This will never happen because it would immediately turn the site into an even more niche one and not a "crossroads of gaming" that Cerium and B Dubs want it to be.  And so Era will continue with it's identity crisis because they always want to have their cake and eat it too, which just pisses off everyone other than those that like the aesthetic of progressivism but don't want to actually commit to it.  That probably can't last forever either, but being wishy washy about it will certainly extend its longevity.

From article: "A third woman said she had worked at engineering teams at Windows, Azure, and Xbox and had been called a bitch by other colleagues. She said that other women at Xbox shared that they had also been the target of such demeaning language."

We should throw CDProjekt Red in there for good measure. And just WB Games as a whole for continuing to associate with that TERF JK Rowling.

Yeah exactly. While I'm not for banning all discussion relating to Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, you kind of have to if Activision-Blizzard is the moral red line for outright banning discussion of videogames and their creators (as opposed to just enforcing additional guidelines, which I think would be preferable).

There should be a community vote on whether to ban discussion. This site is supposed to be community oriented anyway, so we should hold more voting on this kind of stuff. I feel like the Bizzard-Activision lawsuit tips enough people into not wanting to support the company whatsoever.

Personally, I just can’t see myself enjoying a product from a company that has this much rot on the inside.

Yall remember THAT Harry Potter poll? 😕

No, what happened? Most against banning?

No, worse. If my memory serves me right, the poll was straight up asking if JK's hateful retoric towards trans people was going to stop them from supporting the videogame, and the majority voted no.

I think SE and Yoshi-P are doing a poor job of enabling this kind of behavior and thus should also answer of why they allowed Asmon into the game. Couldn't they just ban him outright or are they supporting this kind of character?
