Quote from: Kito, post: 101824453, member: 31506
Okay so hear me out. I was taking a shower in November during my Pokémon Violet binge and I noticed something incredible.

When I wipe my hand up my forehead and into my hairline, a sound effect activates between my skin and hair that sounds EXACTLY like the shaking of a Pokéball before escaping or before the final click to signify a caught Pokémon.

Since then on my daily morning showers I look forward to that effect, and even follow up 3 of them with a click and then giggle to myself.

Surely everybody is different, and a variety of factors can make most if not all others hear something completely different in turn, and I want to know what that is!

Next time you’re in the shower, I’m curious as to the sound you hear when try the very same. One might call me a member of the Elite Forehead…

Quote from: Thequietone
I'm going to be honest and I'll probably be dog piled for it but I find the whole people having problems with dinosaurs having feathers to be very toxic masculinity for lack of a better word/term. I feel like it boils down to scary lizards = cool and masculine and feathered birds = unmasculine and uncool. Doesn't matter that these creatures can still kill with extreme ease, the fact it has feathers is too much to even consider to be cool or dangerous. I feel like a lot of you guys complaining could be getting eviscerated by one and be shouting insults at it, if you had no feathers you'd be cooler while killing me! Call that a tear? I've seen scarier teddy bears!

It seems especially ridiculous when you consider tips at upscale restaurants.  Someone waiting at Cheesecake Factory is doing the same exact job as someone waiting at Chili's, but they likely make significantly less money because... why? Because of the menu that people at corporate put together? Because of the skill of the chef?

This is how I feel. Sexist shitheads playing these games are obviously going to be sexist shitheads, but playing and enjoying these games is not going to inherently turn someone into a sexist shithead if they already know right-from-wrong.
The rabbit hole is much more complex imo. Like maybe someone plays Xenoblade 2 and enjoys it, sees people complaining about the game on twitter, sees a recommended youtube video about how SJW complainers are ruining videogames, then that connects to the ben shapiro, jordan peterson, joe rogan pipeline.

I dunno. Rampant sexualization definitely does psychic damage to me. That may not be a scientific finding, but just because it hasn't be scientifically proven to be traumatizing people doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and let devs and artists continue to be creepy perv weirdos and treat their female characters like garbage.

People wanted to post in support of the staff post, but literally said they were afraid to get dogpiled. So I said it's cool, if you go in there in good faith to defend us, and you don't attack people, you're good

But nah gotta twist it all out of proportion like always.

Anyway, all of this is very funny because I never even had anything to do with any of this. But none of you care, you just want your pound of flesh. Well congrats, you got it.

I'll agree with statements in the thread that makeup is fraught and that it's often moved into black and white territory when it shouldn't be, but we also know how different pieces of looks can get weaponized to sexualize characters, which is kinda the whole thing we're doing in this thread.

Quote from: Siresly
I just find the concept of depictions of real people in a video game weird.

It must be bizarre for the computer people in these games to see that, but they don't seem to care. I guess the idea is that they'd look at that like we look at CG or animated depictions of people. But as a real person, it's weird to play a game presenting a CG world, with real people in it. Like...how does that make sense? How do you explain it? How do the characters in this world know what real people look like? Where did they get these photos from? Is Yakuza a parallel dimension to ours? You can travel between them? Who has this technology? Why are they using it to put photos of real porn stars on a wall in a video game?

They should put some kind of filter on those photos to make them look like they belong in a CG world.
Otherwise my brain just starts dipping down that rabbit hole.

Quote from: ShadowKingpin
I did this in 2011 after nearly 6 years of being treated so poorly at Kroger (I stayed because of the benefits). That environment was all about management bullying staff and in some cases doing it in-front of customers. So, one day I snapped, got on the intercom and said (I shit-you not), "I'm a wild turkey!" and proceeded to make a ton of gobbling noises. I walked out and flipped off my Supervisor while walking past them, as she was the one trying to mess with me in-front of customers. The reason I did the turkey was because I was known as the guy who did all of the intercom announcements for the Meat & Seafood Dept., and my turkey gobbles were a common thing around Thanksgiving every year. Looking back at it, I am still proud that I let that abusive environment.

When I -directly- asked Nepenthe, why they hadn't corrected any of the initial statements, and basically doubled down on victim blaming, it was again, dismissed, with a "Sue me" comment.

Of course, because you were presenting it in a way that she didn't even mean lol, she doesn't think it was victim blaming and she doesn't owe you agreement. She admitted she had a different understanding of the article, if you want more than that that's your own problem. Her being an admin just means she does admin stuff, I don't know why you keep bringing that up like she has some special status, it's an internet forum lol she should be able to post like the rest of us, it doesn't mean she will always be right or people will always agree, you're taking this waaaay too far. If you care so much about how progressive this forum is then I'm sure you're familiar with Nepenthe being a big part of that for literal years so it's just weird people are so quick to throw her under the bus is all.

Some class privilege in this thread. When you grow up struggling sometimes the only thing you have is your reputation. That is why you should never insult someone unless you are ready to throw hands.

Lady is out here getting shit pay for a tough job to have someone come out and call her a bitch? Nah.

The american justice system is literally built on the idea that we should hurt people who hurt people, to show that hurting people is wrong. Don't act all surprised when you get hurt saying hurtful shit. (Note: I believe our "justice" system is busted and we should abolish the police and prison. That said, I am not going to act surprised or try to take the moral high ground when obvious shit happens. This shit is engrained in our culture.)

Failing real change, provided the senate and presidency flips, they might be willing to place sanctions on Poland until they relent.

Quote from: Delphine
Because right now, and I'm aware this isn't something a lot of people want to hear, but our staff team is wearing thin. Most of us are exhausted, mentally, emotionally, simply because this job, in essence just is. We are often confronted to the worse this forum has to offer, on a daily basis, and it takes a toll on us all sooner or later. I remember someone in a post mentioning the fact that we have to take the higher ground and be willing to take any kind of criticism at all times, and that's generally the mindset I'm coming from indeed. However, that also generally leaves me drained, with poor mental-health, and needing regular breaks from moderating (or from even interacting with the forum as a whole) just to recenter myself and feel good enough again. This is, in big part, the reason of our staff turn-over. People get burned out doing this, and end up leaving because they couldn't handle it anymore. This is how we lost many of our minority mods as well (because the mental and emotional toll on us is very often THAT much bigger than for the rest of the team), who often are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to replace. I myself have already thought about quitting the staff team half a dozen times in less than a year already. The apparently common sentiment that mods are easily recruited, and that they easily agree to become staff, and dedicate their time and energy to this forum, is sadly far from our actual reality, and the reason why it makes any single departure that much harder to handle.

I can't watch "real" porn anymore, especially after i found out how it's made, just feel bad whenever i see those Videos.

Nowadays all my porn consumption is ethically sourced hentai, patreon and onlyfans content

Not traditional porn but I read hentai doujin and look at hentai art on a daily basis, most of the time actually just looking at it without really doing anything. It's become a habit at this point, just like checking Twitter or reading this forum.

How about you quote what i actually said and you will realise I did not say at all what you just typed.
how about this ResetERA moderation, how about you actually do something?

I am calling this complete and utter bullshit. I clearly never said anything of the sort and have made Videos in the topic about how the SSD enables game design.

Quote from: Minsc, post: 28782644, member: 22529
You know how everyone likes to laugh (or be disgusted) at Xenoblade 2 character design?  Hope you didn't watch the superbowl half time show, this could almost be DLC for the game.  Everything has to keep getting racier and racier I guess (don't forget the twerk off).   At least she has human proportions I suppose, unlike Xenoblade 2.

I think it certainly doesn't help the situation imo when one of the most watched television shows does something like that.  I'm sure people look at that and use it as a bar in some way as what's acceptable.  But it's not just the superbowl, you see that kind of in a lot of prime time media, especially anything to do with modern concerts.

Quote from: Finale Fireworker, post: 28800165, member: 1944
I was staff here for eighteen months. In that time I had to try to become an expert on criminal cases with no clear conclusions, on controversies in every industry, on cultural expectations across different continents, on major historical events I'd not heard of previously, on personalities I didn't follow, and on geopolitical conflicts nobody has ever solved. I would stay up late reading about topics that I knew were in the news, asking for feedback from people more familiar with the issue, and convening with the rest of the staff who were all doing the same to try to understand as much about an issue before we passed judgement. As much as people want to believe it is, this is not easy to do. This is very stressful, very draining, and you do it knowing that people will not be happy with you no matter what. You're criticized for not being fast enough, or people misrepresent the actions you took and why, and you will always be the bad guy no matter what.

People have this image of free-wheeling or rogue moderators who just moderate in accordance of their opinions. But I had to get so far in to complex situations and process so much information and perspective that I don't even have my own opinion on some things anymore.

We don't have to be ok with harassment but we have to understand we don't have control of what people do when this goes public and it's not our fault when other parties have forced out hand to now go public. We can't stop people harassing Jennifer about this, despite explicit warnings. If people want to, they'll find ways. That's the issue of social media and the disinterpretation phenomena where good faith discussions are replaced by anger, bad faith disinterpretation, boxing people into anti- and pro- labels, and harassment.

I know nothing about the person in question, but this is such a psychotic way of looking at things and the kind of mindset that leads to more Alec Holowkas.  It also handwaves harassment for "worthy" targets, but that's not something new for these kinds of people.  That kind of hypocrisy has been on display for years.

There's not really anything we can "do" about this but I just wanted to say it's really jarring to suddenly see "based" popping up as slang again on Era. It's a word that was so strongly tied to harassment mobs and the early groups that became the alt-right that it feels like a word that wouldn't see a resurgence here.



eta: yes, I know it was appropriated from someone who was trying to reclaim it and we can make arguments about reclamation now, but... it really just feels less like reclamation and more like a lot of people who weren't much impacted forgot.

I'm sure saying that you dislike her would have previously gotten you accused of misogyny and being a gater, now the doors are open

Also kind of funny that in the twitter thread you have two women who each say that the other one abused her. Feel like that's the new future.

From the constructive criticism thread

Quote from: Dr. Monkey, post: 73485850, member: 2447

There's not really anything we can "do" about this but I just wanted to say it's really jarring to suddenly see "based" popping up as slang again on Era. It's a word that was so strongly tied to harassment mobs and the early groups that became the alt-right that it feels like a word that wouldn't see a resurgence here.



eta: yes, I know it was appropriated from someone who was trying to reclaim it and we can make arguments about reclamation now, but... it really just feels less like reclamation and more like a lot of people who weren't much impacted forgot.


:rofl

Ahh yes, my favorite alt-rightist and leader of internet harassment mobs, Lil B:

I'm feeling physical pain at some of the distinguished mentally-challenged takes in this thread, and the fact some of the most distinguished mentally-challenged takes are by people who actually are brits isn't alleviating it

I'm still trying to decode what exactly this jennifer scheule has actually done, other than it definitely wasn't what's generally considered 'grooming' :idont

weird, because this is literally my reaction to all kotaku staff writers and how they conduct themselves online

I'm sure saying that you dislike her would have previously gotten you accused of misogyny and being a gater, now the doors are open

Also kind of funny that in the twitter thread you have two women who each say that the other one abused her. Feel like that's the new future.

"But I'm black"
"Well I'm gay and was molested"
"I also grew up in an orphanage, am bipolar and just bit my tongue 👅 "

The mod cabal closing the shit thread can't hide the fact that I had sexual relations with SmokyDave's wife.

I mean, I'm going down this fucking twitter rabbit hole trying to find an actual thing this chick did that you can have an actual opinion on, but its all 'they are an abuser' as a factual statement, but right now I'm at a thread where people say they feel abused if they unsubscribe from an email and get a follow up asking why, and I'm just fucking :mindblown

The worst thing I could find is that she accused some random white dude of running over people with his car at a BLM protest. Later it turned out it was some black dude that did and it got dropped from the news cycles real quick.

How do you hear that joke and think he's a homophobe?

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Allegations of Sexual Abuse and Trolling Over Multiple Posts

...

Are you trolling? That "one dude's blog" just talks about the event. The event itself happening -- young girls being invited to an island for a "cult" celebration of Leto -- is an indisputable fact.
nd until anything is proven by an official investigation, I’m taking that blog with a grain of salt.

You’re free to believe what you want, or you can add me to your ignore list

ZeoVGM shitting up the Carnage thread because it's not Disney Marvel. It can't be healthy to be so emotionally invested in children's movies.

it's common for someone as deeply closeted as Norm to carry that weight of self-hatred, using homophobia as a cover

Ahhh, there it is! The Kotaku 'I've known about it for years' journalism starter pack. classic.

This is impossible. Slippery slope theory isn't real, it's just something that the alt right and etoilet use as a cover for their racism.
