:cop User Banned: (1 Month): Inappropriate joke concerning a highly maligned medical condition
Quote from: bionic77
Quote from: spyder_ur
Magic knows.
Anyone with half a brain can clearly see it that that is the AIDS talking.
So the issue is that AIDS is "highly maligned"? If AIDS was exactly the same but only mildly maligned would this joke be inappropriate to the level of a transphobia ban?

Not surprising or new from Jonny.

Gifted musicians have this uncanny ability to not be so admired when it comes to other things in their lives outside of writing and playing music. This is the latest example perhaps.

I can only hope this was a mistake because that’d be such a disappointment as a huge Radiohead fan.

Between this, Will Smith and Johnny Depp, it's almost like musicians and actors aren't exactly the best role models and might not be the most well adjusted people or something...

The thing is...

If I were to answer this prompt seriously, one of the worst things you can do in the event that you're robbed at gunpoint is anything sudden. That includes running. So, if I didn't break up with my boyfriend (and I still would, I'm real about mine), I'd also be enraged at them for doing something that in reality only increased the chance that harm came to them OR me (because now the robber is pissed, and the partner running is likely WHY I got fucked up and not just my shit taken).

EDIT: I mean, this is hood/self-defense 101. You don't run from someone pointing a gun at you unless you KNOW they're planning to shoot, in which case you take your chance.

The real reason he would break up with his boyfriend (lol) is because he was holding the bag of cheeseburgers.

Right? There's being hesitant about handing out bans in a sensitive topic, even if that's not how ERA moderation usually operates, and then there's ignoring repeated, grade A victim blaming.

I was even wondering if this is some "prominent" old user that might sadly explain how they get away with it, but not even that applies. It's just some junior account that should get their perma ban yesterday.

Like, I'm starting to find this lack of even just warning (with the one ridiculous exception) extremely bizarre.

Quote from: NaDannMaGoGo
No, not what you are saying at all. Like any decent troll you just happen to purposely misrepresent information about Depp, casting him in a bad lighr, like your garbage comments about his UK trial. When called out, you move goalposts, maybe vanish for a bit and then make the next accusation on Depp's character.

What we won't see from you is remarking on the tons of evidence painting Heard as a pathological liar, for instance.

Of course, you care about that a lot, too. 😉 And you don't want to put any blame on Depp, no no.

You just coincidentally make wildly inaccurate remarks about him every now and then and further derail the thread by acting upset when called out.

A typical asshole and troll behavior that usually gets you banned sooner than later on this forum, because no one wants to deal with wankers like you. If we had to give any junior member the benefit of the doubt when they keep their bullshit up over a serious of posts we wouldn't get anywhere.

And with that, you're ignored, because I have no intention there's of course no point arguing with, at best, a troll but more likely someone that just has that terrible of a belief.

https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1519012937704394752

lol at including The Washington Post

what are examples of "vital platforms for communication" which have ever not been owned by some rich guy/corporation

I remember when firefighters were combating fires in the western US and Verizon throttled their data in the middle of it all despite them being on an "unlimited" plan

for something to have enough of a broad reach to provide global communication it inherently requires a lot of money changing hands, even decentralized platforms like mastodon requires someone footing the bill for the servers and performing the moderation, which means they have "unlimited power" within the realm they are paying for



the owner being a multi-billionaire is the problem? so instead the government should step in and hand the platform to a guy on food stamps in Louisiana named Bertram, which will fix everything?

Nope, wrong. The government should step in and run all forms of media itself. The government is us. Government is just the name we use for things we do together. This is the best way to eliminate concentrated power and create a framework for actual true free speech that doesn't commit violence against anyone and ensures that right-wing lies don't spread. (And nice try, but the government doesn't engage in violence, it simply enforces the terms of service you agreed to when you were conceived.)

Quote from: Deleted member 64666
Not to cause some ish, but he was fired from Shakira's new TV show (coming out this Summer, I think) for sexually harrassing an employee on a hot mic. People are even saying it might have been Shakira, as she unexpectedly deleted him from all social media, after posting a video with him a couple days before. He was replaced by Nick Jonas.

These toxic men behaviours are vile.

Trying to use stuff like this to "paint a picture of bad character" is just disgusting. How about you watch the actual podcast and hear him talk about how many mistakes he's made in life? Nah can't do that, there is a trial to be held and the prosecution needs to withhold evidence.

Between this and the Mike Tyson thread it seems that forms of rape are less disqualifying than uncouth tweets or podcasts.

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," said Mr. Musk. "I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it."

He forget to mention bringing back Trump.

"Authenticating all humans"? This isn't Cyberpunk 2077, Elon. What you're gonna do, make face recognition mandatory to log in?

Actually nevermind, the idiot probably thinks it's a good idea.

so which is it

Just wondering what people do when people come over to visit them.

I know we're all around the same age 30s. I also know a lot of us like anime paraphernalia (figurines, manga mags, t shirts, wallpapers, sextoys, cosplay stuff, DVD/blu-ray boxsets, collectable candies, etc).

So do you display your figurines proudly? What do you do when someone asks you about them?

I ask because I had someone over and they pointed and laughed at me.

Thanks.

Edit: also, if you're into hentai too.

Not a Radiohead fan so that part doesn’t bother me. What bothers me and I keep saying it ad nauseam with no one listening so this may be a good place to say it. And im already seeing it in this thread like it’s an outlier or uncommon. EVEN ON THE LEFT AND WITH PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY ON EVERY OTHER ISSUE, MOST PEOPLE ARE TRANSPHOBIC AND ITS SEEN AS BEING OKAY. ITS NOT A MINORITY POSITION. PEOPLE KEEP ACTING LIKE ITS OUTLIERS AND ITS NOT. EVEN A LARGE MAJORITY OF OTHER QUEER PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO THROW US UNDER THE BUS AND THEN BLAME US FOR THE RIGHT TAKING AWAY THEIR RIGHTS.

And online, even here most “Allies” are performative only. Other than a post here, tweet there in support, a “trans rights are human rights” in celebratory or happy threads, but don’t show up for the day of rememberance or the bad stuff, and all of a sudden have “concerns” once the issue of sports come up. We are a true minority, a lot of times minority’s of other minority’s (and quit blaming just white people transphobia crosses color and ethnicity lines and is strong in all community’s). And stop going “terf island” and acting like it’s just the U.K. More than half of the United States are trying to implement anti trans laws, and Missouri just instituted a law forcefully de-transitioning anyone under 18 even socially, and killing trans healthcare for adults. And there are not enough trans people to change anything or have enough money or voting power to change anything. And I don’t see many cis “allies” protesting, or boycotting, or doing much of anything really. They are literally going to genocide and erase us from history and most of the world including those saying they stand with us are complicit.

If this really bothers you do a little more than be upset at a musician and act like he’s an outlier. But I doubt many will, truth is people like me are now an endangered species and most won’t lift a finger to help, and even more that claim they care secretly agree with the transphobia.

Thats the facts and I am so sick of others acting like it’s not. But then again I and people like me are the ones that will end up dead, not the majority of world and not any cis people.

Eek - "avoid commenting on things about which I am ignorant." in response to liking very blatant transphobia is entirely the wrong response.

Only right thing to do when seeing hate-speech is report it and not fat-finger it and shrug it off.

I’m not talking about sites like YouTube where it was a good judge of the quality of a video. Downvoting a video can lead to positive change or bring awareness to troublesome content so it can be removed from the site.

But the function elsewhere? Holy cow. It makes people act like clowns. I’m pretty glad that we don’t have that here. I am glad that we have signatures back with the Era+ $6 sub. I’m glad I got in with the $2.99 lifetime sub back in 2017. But if they could reassure us that we will never have to deal with Karma or upvotes/downvotes I will happily pay the full $6.

Yeah, unmoderated twitter will just turn into 4chan/b/. Even if they limit threats of violence it will still be racists rant and picture spamming. I doubt Elon will actually make twitter into free speech utopia he is spouting because all unmoderated forums will turn into shit. He is operating on loan money, Twitter needs to make money and turning it into 4chan is going to tank Twitter's existing revenue.
So ResetEra will turn into shit?  Oh wait, it already is.

She's also got an obsession with hating fat people and villainises any woman outside of overly feminine characteristics, will give them masculine aspects in the Harry Potter books. If she hates a woman, she'll give them facial hair. There's a lot of gender essentialism that was present in her books before she went mask off with transphobia a few years ago. This misogyny and meanness over physical characteristics was mostly excised from the films.

I just don't get why people are like this. It feels so alien to me to get so caught up in other peoples lives and harbouring so much hate for people. She has all the money in the world, and she's still just sat on Twitter putting venom out in the world for seemingly nothing.
Quote
She not only equates others similiar but different struggles as being identical with her own and thus thinks it nullifies the validity of other peoples experiences (because she seems to believe in her own limited "I am the protagonist of the world"-view) but her moral absolutism makes her believe that anyone who disagrees with her has to be wrong and thus evil, just another point where she can't and won't accept that her personal biases and imbecile moral system isn't the final and absolute answer of everything or the limit of the human conscious capacity.
:hmm

She doesn't like women who she thinks are too masculine. She doesn't like women she thinks are too feminine. It seems Rowling's idea of what a woman should be has to line up pretty closely with herself! How feminist.
Quote from: Cenauru
It's also stated in some interviews and autobiographies (I seriously cannot find them, I saw the links via twitter years ago, and twitter is HORRIBLE with archiving shit) that she hates being a woman and says alot of "woe is me" shit for being a woman and how horrible it is, and that she might have even transitioned to a man when she was younger if she had the opportunity too, or some shit I don't remember the excuse. It makes sense if she's projecting self-hatred onto people who are actually trying to become who they want to be, rather than throwing pity parties and wallowing in misery while refusing to ever do anything about it, and the existence of trans people isn't allowing her to give up and pretend there's absolutely nothing she can do.
Quote
She certainly seems to have a pretty low opinion of women in general.
Quote
A lot of 'left wing' comedians here, especially established successful ones, are centrist libes and so being transphobic is sadly all too common.
Another 48 pages and we might yet crack this case.

the owner being a multi-billionaire is the problem? so instead the government should step in and hand the platform to a guy on food stamps in Louisiana named Bertram, which will fix everything?

How about a guy on food stamps in Austin called Tyler?

so are most people in ERA in HS or something? why are they so perplexed with celebrity culture? this constant putting celebrities in this strange pedestal.  it's a very naive, black and white way of looking at the world.

there's a lack of adult experience here.  reminds me of parasocial relationships.  these people do not know will smith or johnny depp, but so much emotional involvement.  i don't get disappointed when celebs do dumb things. i don't know them. they're not my friends.  i really don't get it.

i guess that makes sense. many of the complain about their jobs and stations in life, but fritter their lives away on stupid shit like will smith, the latest outrage porn, or obscure japanese game that takes 200 hour to beat.

i'm not shaming gaming. i game. but i also know that my priorities and it's not celebrity bullshit.  and anytime people post about improving, maybe going to a coding bootcamp or something, you have posters attacking "capitalism".  i'm super lefty, but i also know i live in a system that does reward rare skills.  and today you have all the resources in the world to develop them.  you have some posters there have been around since the GAF days. They post daily, non stop, yet still are stuck and hate their lives.

it's like the forum is a nursery for them that they don't want to leave.

So just to sum up some of those recent mod decisions:

James Gunn clarifying that Chris Pratt doesn't attend a homophobic church = twitter drama, locked thread
Jonny greenwood liking a problematic tweet = A-OK thread, good discussion.

Derailing every Chris Pratt thread with his supposed problematic behavior = A-OK
Posting Shaquille O'Neal's actual problematic behavior in a thread about a bad statement of his = thread derail + ban

Is the accusation of being a shill actually worse than being a shill?

This is in addition to their work-from-home options which have been implemented for years, their hourly paid leave system and their staggered work system so that employees can work in ways comfortable to them to maximise their potential

This reads like a press release

That is ONE MILLION PERCENT taken from the marketing department of said company. Imagine being banned for pointing out the obvious.

When I saw Jimmy planting evidence. Inventing fake crimes so he could continue persecuting black businesses. Sleeping with whores. Destroying his career and every relationship he had in an alcoholic vendetta, I thought, wow, being a cop is awesome
