No sticky/pin? I figured this would be important enough to bring more attention to.
Quote from: Rman on September 01, 2021, 09:39:22 AMNepenthe also doesn't understand the optics of telling a black person what to think and say. In this case, a black person with very strange views.That comes off as paternalistic. The OP had some crazy views--I agree. But if white people are told to shut up about anything black related, why would Nep and Slayven think that white posters would push back? They've been told it's not something they should participate in.This is honestly one of the most unsettling things around the culture Era has cultivated to me--there is only one acceptable way to be a part of any marginalized group. People not in the group shouldn't talk about it, at all, and just listen to people in that group. But if your opinions don't align with Era's sanctioned view of what you should think/feel as a member of that group, you are extremely discouraged from presenting an alternate viewpoint because reasons. I get why they need it--it's easier to do their ranking-of-grievances when trying to figure out how to navigate situations where different marginalized groups come in conflict if you can boil each group down to just 1 thing--but it effectively creates situations where you can't do anything but reinforce whatever the current admin-approved take on things.

either benji went out of his way to reproduce the links in the quoted post, or he has a secret era account and he was able to hit "reply" to copy paste the message as originally formatted
Not streaming for a day. Some peak slacktivism energy right there. I love MarvelVGM in that Era thread thinking he’s successfully dunking on Ninja, who’s married, by saying “less chance to interact with women today”. You got him, bro. Sick burn.
is he the streamer who once said he doesn't stream with females cos his girl gets jelly? like 3 years ago? why am am not surprised some ree incel is still harbouring a grudge

Honestly, you're right. I've tried to rationalize that it might be more difficult to disassociate from Kanye because there was over a decade of him before the MAGA nonsense and everything that has come along with it since, while with Doc, there really was no "before" and this has always been his thing. But I'm absolutely being hypocritical in trying to excuse one but not the other.Both should be called out and I need to be better at recognizing when I'm applying different standards to similar situations.

Hearing about the news about abortions in Texas being outlawed after six weeks along with state Republicans creating more voter suppression bills & laws just makes me livid. Absolutely livid.Meanwhile, Democratic politicians in congress should be absolutely chewed out for not doing a damn thing to protect everyone's rights in general. That just proves how weak & spineless that they are. They can never do anything right when it comes to rights in general. And just imagine if Trump gets re-elected in 2024?I'm just tired of it all, so tired. I'm wondering if I should apply for Canadian citizenship at this point (or for any other country), because at the rate we're going, we're turning into fucking Saudi Arabia, Russia, China & North Korea with all of this draconian, fascist shit. I'm 39 years old, no criminal record, & no children or spouse, if anyone's wondering.I'm just sick of this racist, backwards ass country. Sick of it all.

How many miles have you marched? How.much blood have you spilled? Have you even worked on a political campaign? Volunteered at a polling place? Anything at all?Where do you even live? What's your backgriund to be complaining and trying to flee to greener pastures like you are? Cause I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I'm a black man whose family comes from, and is still to a large extent in, Mississippi. And I lived there myself for a while. People with actual fucking problems who don't have the option of even pretending to chase some pie in the sky bullshit about running away to another country that'll treat them better.Yeah, I'm talking shit.

I can understand why normal users shouldn't be able to completely ignore mod posts, and that's fine, but can we at least get the option to put mods on ignore so that we can auto-ignore threads they create? Certain mods are just out of control with creating new threads constantly that I have absolutely zero interest in ever reading.
Quote from: Coyote StarrkIt's already been explained why. Once again the ignore thread option exists for this exact reason. To hide the things you are not interested in so that they don't bury the things that you are interested in. It's a single click to use and you don't even need to open the thread to utilize it. I don't understand why you can't just use it instead of asking that the staff create a workaround for your very specific problem.First of all, it's not a single click if we're talking about 20 threads a week.Second, is it really a problem specifically for just me? I can't be the only one who dislikes their feed clogged up by the same user posting all sorts of stuff I'm not interested in.And lastly, what do you care? If the functionality I'm requesting would not benefit you in any way, then I'm happy for you but you don't need to chime in on it.

They aren't the only one who has this problem. In fact I'd hazard a guess many people would like to opt out of that moderator's constant shitposting threads.
i think we all know that the real reason why you can't ignore moderators and admins is because there are couple who would instantly appear on like 30% of all ignore lists.
it *seems* like a poor idea to post in this thread where its been said time and time again to not target any one poster/situation/thread specifically doing exactly that but heyanyway there's another thread for feature suggestions, I forget where or what it is, but that's in here somewhere too!

I guess Joe Rogan threads is allowed as long as it is cheering for his death: https://www.resetera.com/threads/joe-rogan-has-covid.480463/Don't get me wrong. Rogan's a dumbass if he didn't get vaxxed, and he made his own bed if he ends up on a ventilator. However, it is obvious ERA mods allows "banned" people/topics to linger if the thread's slant is pointedly negative towards that person or topic. I just wish they would be honest about that and not with the weak excuse of "mods can't be everywhere at once." That Rogan thread's been up for hours, and I can't imagine multiple mods hadn't see it by now.
She's white, has access to 'money' () and has a babyChances are low she'll get the max due to the above. Heck I'll be surprised if she gets community service
So at best she’ll get house arrest and probation for months.

Lmao she’ll do like 1 year in “prison” at most
She will either get off completely or get probation with time served.
What exactly has been sinophobic here?The Chinese government is the largest-scale force for authoritarianism and political suppression the world has ever seen - in terms of humans suppressed, that's not an exaggeration.Hyperbole isn't hyperbole here, it's warranted.
