ResetEra is - ostensibly - a place for like-minded, progressive-leaning gamers (particularly using The Old Place as a metric for comparison), LGBT+ friendly people, and those whose political/cultural/emotional ideologies align somewhere inside that diagram in some way or another. to expect a place like that to entertain or welcome discussion of a position that inherently supposes some of those people are Less Than, or Other, or Wrong in some capacity is, to be frank, completely fucking insane. it has nothing to do with an echo chamber - it has everything to do with a safe space.
That's not how prominent members of ResetERA.com describe it. They use terms much much worse to describe the horrific reality of ResetERA.com. Where members are almost always talking about how some people are Less Than, Other and Wrong. And then it all sends the staff members into crying fits and therapy rather than them doing anything to stop it.

Also, literally every member on there is acting in bad faith and it's all one big organized conspiracy that the staff aid and abet:
Don’t worry, that person is almost certainly still here. Probably someone that spends all their time posting on gaming side because posting in OT would get them banned due to their vile social/political opinions, so they dusted off an alt to rile feathers and JAQ off.

Didn't he talk about contacting her family to set up a trust fund for her daughter?

Yes, he did.  And her family supports Dave:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/10/11/dave-chappelle-is-an-lgbtq-ally-family-of-late-trans-comedian/amp/


Quote
“Dave loved my sister and is an LGBTQ ally,” Brandy added in a text to the outlet, referring to Daphne, who killed herself while under attack for sticking up for Chappelle over his earlier gags about the trans community.

“His entire set was begging to end this very situation,” she said.


Brandy added on Facebook, “I feel like he poured his heart out in that special and no one noticed.

“What he’s saying to the LGBTQ family is, ‘I see you. Do you see me? I’m mourning my friend in the best way I know how. Can you see me? Can you allow me that?’” she wrote, calling the set a “call to come together.”

Quote
But in texts to The Daily Beast, Becky said her late sister “was in awe of Dave’s graciousness.”

“She did not find his jokes rude, crude, off-coloring, off-putting, anything. She thought his jokes were funny,” she wrote of her rookie comedian sister, who Chappelle had invited to open for him at shows. “Daphne understood humor and comedy — she was not offended. Why would her family be offended?”

.....

Becky insisted that “Dave was the biggest bright spot for Daphne” before her suicide.

“Blaming Dave is beyond the wrong thing to do,” she told The Daily Beast. “He helped her and let her be comfortable while talking with him. She had many demons; Dave Chappelle was NOT one of them.”

I have no idea why people are saying it was a week then
Because they'd rather that it be true. No matter what that would actually imply. The facts are inconvenient to the narrative, but the narrative cannot ever be dismissed.

Imagine taking this for context, and not the actual netflix special.
I just did a quick look through the thread, and the dailybeast article about daphne's family is no where to be seen, but rando twitters posts of screencaps from facebook (LOL) are taken as gospel.

Reminds me of trumpers.
They don't care about Daphne other than how they can blame someone they've decided to hate for her death. Really they don't care one iota about trans people, especially their rights, in general except where they can be used as a cudgel to beat on their perceived opponents. And especially the prominent trans members exhibit this behavior led by detestable scumbags like Kyuuji and incelsiorlef. They care more about temporarily claiming scalps in the culture wars on the internet than anything else on Earth. That they would promote an obviously false story designed entirely to smear someone is not surprising in the least, why would they care about openly and blatantly lying in the service of harming their perceived enemies? That the staff allow it isn't surprisingly either because they share the same warped worldview in which pursuing the destruction of people's reputations based on anything (true or not) is the greatest social good possible. Nothing gives this kind of trash pleasure like using whatever little power they can claim to harm others.

On this broader subject, just look at the continuing behavior of this other lowlife they've promoted to hero status:
https://twitter.com/RainofTerra/status/1447666781795930112

At this point, Netflix should fire her so she no longer has to feel complicit working for a company she publicly accused of directly contributing to the murder of trans people. An accusation she has not modified or withdrawn and continues to promote as she gains followers and attention for her original accusation. Why would you want someone so craven and vile and uninterested in the positive goals of your operation working within your company?

edit: I'm going to add this to make this more of a final post for this subject rather than continuing to give it any airtime.

Can Dave Chappelle be criticized? Of course, always. Can he be called transphobic? Yes, with good reason. (Disclaimer: I am not a Dave Chappelle fan.)

But they're taking someone, however misguided in his views, who seemingly only wished to express those views and accusing him of murder or worse, fabricating multiple stories to smear him, and not only not pushing back on their allies who do these things but actively promoting them while lashing out at anyone who dares question if he's an actual malicious villain.

Nah, there's no reason to be polite, they've shown themselves to be garbage.

For one thing, the default is that you no longer see tweets from non blue check marks without actively doing so by following them, etc.

They also take your reports of other accounts more seriously probably.

part of me wishes you werent banned because this is a common refrain people use in situations like this and its fucking outrageous and while im sure it would fall on deaf ears, i wish you could hear why. im not going to sign up for a membership on Stormfront and expect to have a casual, open, and intellectual conversation about why white supremacy is bad. im not going to join some Trump-loving subreddit and get pissed off when no one wants to listen to my carefully crafted and cogent arguments about why he's a monstrous demagogue who has genuinely damaged not just the fabric of this country but possibly beyond.

ResetEra is - ostensibly - a place for like-minded, progressive-leaning gamers (particularly using The Old Place as a metric for comparison), LGBT+ friendly people, and those whose political/cultural/emotional ideologies align somewhere inside that diagram in some way or another. to expect a place like that to entertain or welcome discussion of a position that inherently supposes some of those people are Less Than, or Other, or Wrong in some capacity is, to be frank, completely fucking insane. it has nothing to do with an echo chamber - it has everything to do with a safe space.

I mean... comparing Era to stormfront or a trumpist subreddit in terms of how they all behave towards people attempting to go against 'the narrative' is accurate, but...

It's mind-boggling how the common resetera reaction is "she got fired for her posts but they won't say that because of the optics" (she isn't fired, just suspended) when in reality, probably the only reason she didn't get fired after entering that director's meeting was because of her posts because of the optics. Netflix's sensitivity saved her job it didn't cost her one.

This is some fucking hilarious stupidity.

People with large Twitter followings are one of the main reason crisis communications experts are necessary.

As a communications expert with crisis communications experience, I repeat my advice when targeted on Twitter for cancelling:
  • Don't engage
  • Don't respond
  • Don't apologise...ever!

Usually, at the end of a suspension like that, there would be some sort of "show cause" for why they should keep their job. This person is doing a fantastic job of illustrating in grave detail why they should be fired. If Netflix had any sense, they would already be sharpening their knives.

Edit: They should also be asking the hiring manager that employed her why they should keep their job too.

In fairness to her, she's a Senior Software Engineer with experience at Blizzard (she worked on Battle.net), and other companies, so I have no reason to assume she's not qualified at her actual job of doing backend work. They just need to tell her to shut the fuck up with publicly accusing the company and its major stars of contributing to criminal behavior.

Here's her recent background, she worked in similar positions at other companies going back another five years and has appropriate certifications and recommendations on her profile for someone not totally shit at their job:

I have no idea why people are saying it was a week then :idont

Yeah you'd think her friend would know.

The people in that thread will keep saying "a week" because it gives their bias an immediate connection from the special releasing and Daphne's suicide since to them it will appear to have happened immediately afterwards.

timetable issues are due to the way dave tells it in the closer

from what I remember he actually says it was one week later, which by looking at dates on tweets is either him embellishing the point (all stand up comedians lie/embellish any based-on-a-true-stories), or forgetting, or talking about the timing of different related events

I'm not even sure if the timing matters that much

it's ghoulish going around in circles on the details of this poor lady's final moments, honestly from what I saw you could even chalk it up to the recent ending of a relationship and not even any transphobia or abuse of any kind

Life Pro Tip for everyone with a job...no matter how qualified you are, don't publicly criticise your employer and don't try to crash a director-level meeting that you're not invited to. If you do, you'll be suspended and probably fired.

The only reason she's not gone is the diversity armour.

All of those things ARE hilarious. Even Michael Richards when he's not being a racist cunt.

There's a little thing called context. Every one of those situations is presented in a way that you're laughing at Seinfeld or the other cast members, not the person.

User Warned: Misgendering
Quote from: Warhawk4Ever
If it was anyone else I'd agree. With her? She is just insane.

Only warned for misgendering and refusing to edit it? It must be nice to be one of B-Dubs poliera friends.

If we're going to have another "Let's dunk on this celebrity" thread, let's respect their pronouns. Yes?
Quote
Lovato has some brain damage from an overdose that almost killed them in 2018, so I feel weird about mocking them for a fair bit of the ludicrous stuff they put out (all the reaching aliens extraterrestrials through meditation shit), but yeah, it's being monetised and signal boosted, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Quote
no matter how stupid the shit they say might be, misgendering demi (they‘re non-binary, hell the fucking tmz article even uses the right pronouns) & calling them insane in the same breath is fucking disgusting
Quote
Is there anything to suggest that Demi's quirks stem from them having brain damage? The brain is a complex organ, and damage can result in almost any kind of symptoms, both physical and mental. But Demi seems to have been more erratic in their behaviour even before 2018.

That said, they have a long history of struggling with mental health and addiction, so I'm not entirely comfortable with how they're being thrust under the spotlight for the sole purpose of being pointed and laughed at.
Quote
Can someone fix the thread title please? They are called Lovato and not Lavato
Quote
Could you edit this with the correct pronouns please? And "insane" may not be a good choice word either...
Quote
i watched that demi lovato documentary this past summer and the stuff theyve been through was pretty horrific. overdosed on drugs and left for dead after being raped by their drug dealer. previously raped on the set of one of those camp rock movies too, i believe. so ill keep from judgment regarding them from now on.
Quote
This forum is really terrible when facing and recognizing mental health issues.
Quote
My two cents: I wish ERA wouldn't allow threads like this. Demi has gone on record about how their overdose resulted in permanent brain damage, bad enough that they are no longer allowed to legally drive. Want to dunk on someone like Donald Trump, go apeshit. But mocking someone who clearly suffers from lingering mental issues isn't fun.

No one in the thread is going to agree with Demi, so there's no constructive discussion to be had here, it's all just "Wow, aren't they dumb/stupid/crazy? Hollyweird, amirite?!"
Quote
This.

ERA a long way to go on a lot of issues including mental illness.
Quote
seriously. people in this thread actually calling them insane? gross as fuck.

and if you don't know enough about a person and the things they have going on, don't say shit like that about them and act repentant later. that's just a good rule of thumb for being a decent human.
Quote
Yeah and the thread title and the article themselves seem in bad faith too
Quote
I had no idea about their brain damage. That is so awful and puts a lot of context into this. :/

I also agree with you - this thread feels a bit weird to me. Uncomfortable even.
Quote
I gotta agree here
Quote
Completely agree. I'm actually a bit shocked to see some of the comments here. Folks sounding like a boomer facebook page.
Quote
Thanks for saying this and I agree, a lot of horrible comments from some posters in here.
Quote
Hi, they literally have brain damage

How about we quit it with the ableist language
Quote
Fuck this. They have brain damage. This thread only seems to exist for fuckos like you to make fun of someone with mental health issues.

Y'all are fucking gross.

You can also easily tell in this thread who has never been called an alien by a cop or border agent
Quote
100%. The poster who was like 'hell, everyone on this forum is an alien to me, its no big deal!!' showed their whole entire ass
Quote
Came into this thread ready to dunk on what I thought was yet another self-important celebrity having weird takes, didn't know about their actual brain damage so instead I end up questioning why the thread is still up and why the mods notes are just about their gender.
Quote
Why do posts in this thread sound like KotakuInAction bullshit, lamenting how far PC culture has gone that we can’t even say “alien” anymore, and calling people “insane” for saying an opinion about language while misgendering then in the same breath?

OP: you couldn’t spell Demi’s name correctly, get their pronouns right, or show even a basic respect for another human being by not referring to them as insane for the crime of…saying a goofy thing related to a show their job is to promote. What makes you any sort of authority on language and what’s acceptable or not?
Quote
Cmon don't be so "woke" bro

ITT basic human decency is "woke"
Quote
Gotta love the threads on here where the thin vaneer of progressiveness that this forum likes to champion itself on drops away and it becomes crystal clear that the demographics and lived experiences of those on here are overwhelming that of straight white neurotypical men
Quote
Agreed. I have tremendous sympathy for Demi because they are just trying to get their life back together as a current/former drug addict, and they’re lucky to have survived their overdose. I don’t necessarily care or agree about mislabeling extraterrestrial beings until we find them and know what they are, but I don’t think Demi is stupid or insane just because of this interview slice. Demi is a great, sweet person it seems like. As far as celebrities go, they’ve never hurt anyone except themselves, they deserve public support, not public ridicule.
Quote
OP seemingly only started this thread to shit on Demi while misgendering them and calling them insane and a number of similarly-minded users have come in to do the same freely. Not sure why this is still open but its gross.
And this is a so-called "safe space" :notlikethis

Not trying to say that poster is doing it on purpose, but similar shit was happening in the Demi Lovato thread. Either people refuse to read it says “they” under their name, or that user is a bigot.

My husband was cooking dinner last night and asked where our garlic press was. I said I didn’t know as he was opening and closing every drawer we have in the kitchen. He continued to look and frustratedly exclaimed, “I can never find where we keep it!”

I said, “it’s a privilege to not know where things are in your own kitchen, because that means you weren’t the one who cleaned the kitchen last.”

He said “I guess you’re right” and hasn’t asked where a single thing is since.

—— EDIT: Getting a lot of questions on who is cleaning our kitchen if I didn’t know where it was either.

I recently hired cleaners since I started a new job that requires long hours.

Agreed.  And I'm going to go ahead and say something controversial yet brave:  Resetera is the biggest white supremacist forum on the internet.  One poster complaining about the rampant sexism and racism?  That's a one-off thing.  But all these posters can't be wrong.

I can't name any other forum that has as many people in distress (many brought to tears) when confronted with the racist lived white experiences of its users.  They're living these experiences.  They're lived fucking experiences.  And it's gross.

So after she od’d and got brain damage she said start using they and them on me . That would mean the brain injury contributed in that decision correct ?

At least the Metroid threads are semi-topical currently. (My favorite one so far was the one asking if Dread getting so much ResetERA.com bubble attention meant Metroid was becoming a superstar franchise metaverse ala Fortnite. lol no) It's the guaranteed weekly Smash hypothetical threads that go on for pages and never seem to drop off the front page that I truly enjoy.

"Do you guys think if Nintendo makes a new Smash in 2025 and includes Halo Chief and Kraitos it would sell more copies per week than Smash Brawl sold in its lifetime?"

I'm making a ruling to insert an exception to my Chappelle posting moratorium, you'll understand in a second:
The last comedy special to hit big on Netflix was Hannah Gadsby‘s 2018 “Nanette,” which vivisected the (straight, male) toxicity behind certain kinds of comedy. In a case of brutal irony, the special includes the story of Gadsby, who is lesbian, being beaten up by a man who mistook her for another man, a traumatic event she first tells as a joke and then unspools to reveal exactly how unfunny it is.

Strangely, Sarandos neglects to mention “Nanette” in his memo (possibly because he does not want Gadsby’s take on Chappelle’s show)
