Your argument is currently “these things are tangentially related so everything concerning AI is ok despite how meany issues a worldwide audience have with B”

And that brings me to the very next question. Can you actually shut up? Followed by, do you not have th self awareness to stop “well actually”ing the collective worldview concerning a topic involving a specific subset of jobs you don’t fucking work in? SHUT. UP. Fucking hell. No seriously, how many times do I have to tell the calvacade circlejerk of AI chuds which you're apart of mind you that I don't give a fuck about your opinion. Stop fucking talking to me about my own goddamn profession and the theoretical benefits of your "well I, uncreatively, just steal this art and press this button. because I have no fucking artistic voice.." Stay in your fucking lane. It's so fucking easy to not fucking gaslight people. Like deadass so fucking easy to shut up instead of going "Well actually i'm doing you guys a favor aren't I making your job easier" Stop talking dude. I am telling you. I do NOT consent to this fucking discussion because this is not a debate. I do not consent to me, who corrently works in my work field on the fucking daily and the many people who spent just as many years training as I did to work having their job replaced by a button click. I do not consider the fucking shit you're stanning to be a favor to us nor even to TO YOU. Because I don't give a flying fuck about the voice of fake artists. Shut up. And fucking listen. Stop talking to me.

And frankly as a POC, doubly shut up and stop quoting outdated laws to me. You keep including "Well actually the laws say" as if that's a gotha.

I really hope AI can figure out a way to punch this cunt in the throat.

Honestly, I feel like a surefire way to make an interesting new take on Superman's origin that feels authentic and modern would've been to hire a queer writer and director.

I'm not saying make Superman gay, but having talent behind the camera with real experience in "desperately hiding a part of yourself in order to fit in to small-town America, while simultaneously trying to subtly embrace that part of your identity in secret" could have made something special. But who knows. I'll give Gunn the benefit of the doubt.

What happened to Eden really is fucked, and it should have never happened. And it is fair for trans people to feel frustrated and scared by some of the stuff the right-wing is trying to push.

However, one of the biggest issues with the trans community is that they do a terrible job building lasting, sincere relationships with people outside their community. Too many think social shaming and social coercion is all that's needed for acceptance. But all that does is build resentment and train people to give empty, vapid support if only to not get canceled. Why did they think bullying and doxxing people playing the wizard game would do anything else that engender resentment and negativity towards them? They give contradictory pleas for cis people to both speak up and to shut up and listen at the same time. They bite the heads off "allies" if said allies don't say what they think they should have said.

People don't respond well to social coercion. People don't respond well to being accused of being complicit in a "genocide" or getting death threats for playing an inoffensive video game that tried hard to be inclusive. Fair or not, people don't like the idea of a 6'4" 230lbs mtf trans athlete destroying female athletes half that size. 99.9% of people don't think it's wise to send someone convicted of multiple rapes of women to a women prison just because said person declared they were now a woman in the middle of their trial. Surprise, surprise people find that shit to be questionable at the very least and doubt that person's sincerity.

tl;dr summary: Trans community pr and tactics needs an overhaul.
It's not like they don't have ALL of the lessons learned by the gay and lesbian communities in their battle for acceptance to study and learn from...

Seeing this thread fall off the first page of results within a day never to be seen again feels as threatening and dehumanizing as the news itself.

I can't get over this sentence. They don't actually care about that trans woman at all if the news is equal to the thread falling of the frontpage on a fucking videogame forum

Its because the selfish bitch blamed highly personal relationships and unique circumstances instead of being a team player and blaming JKR and the BBC.

Honestly, some people just can't think about anyone except themselves.

People in the bento thread legitimately trying to get her in touch with people who might be able to help her out is a rare bright spot in the Era community--no idea if they'll actually be able to help, but it's people actually involving themselves and their contacts to help which beats 95% of era threads.

That's cause Bento spent, what... a decade now, building good will among users of GAF and then ERA and didn't treat that message board as anything but a message board. She didn't use GAF/ERA as a base for activism or bully users into silence and compliance. Community building SHOULD look like this, where someone can spill their emotional guts at their darkest moments and people will have actual constructive conversations that may even include challenging your initial assumptions.

Thank you for this. Especially harrowing between what happened with Tasty and what's his face that ran him off by being a bad person.

People with real problems make the ree’s hysterics about wizard game genocides look all the more ridiculous and entitled.

FUME5: if you’re okay with passing the offer along and Bento is willing to set something up, I’d be more than happy to help with a weeks worth of grocery money, or whatnot.  I’ve been where she’s at emotionally myself and I know how quickly it can pass and get so much better, but a little bit of help from asshole strangers like us wouldn’t hurt either in the interim.

1000 New NeoGAF Accounts for March 2023

A warm welcome to our 1000 newly approved NeoGAF members. It's an exciting time for the video game industry, with the current generation of consoles maturing, new VR and AR tech inbound, and AI transforming the tech world more broadly.

This is set to be a great year for games, too, with Elden Ring DLC, Breath of the Wild 2, Cyberpunk DLC, and probably some other stuff no one cares about.

Quote from: Iron Mike, post: 102732499, member: 60283
According to a lot of people in this thread, it's fine for me to not wear a mask but it's not fine for me to talk openly about how I don't want to wear a mask. Ridiculous. In the real world there isn't much of a left-right split when it comes to discourse on the mask subject but obviously a lot of you are over-exposed to political YouTubers and under-exposed to normal, everyday people

"Cancelling" Tilda all because she doesn't want to comply with some outdated rule that has nothing to do with considerations for people's health and safety and everything to do with potentially saving a movie studio some cash. Most people would voice their annoyance if their place of work required masks tomorrow

I'm not saying she's not a crap employee, I'm just saying this doesn't make her a crap person

Was going to use PMs for this, but Bork won’t fix his board.

Quote from: FUME5
So, you spend 45 minutes late at night talking to your suicidal friend trying to convince them to keep living, spend the night worried they wont be there in the morning and questioning yourself as to whether you did enough? Should you have said something different? Could you have done more for them in the past?

You wake up, very relieved to find out they are still alive and kicking, and then you find out your buddies on the bore have been talking about her and someone has shown her the post about having personality problems...

Having said that, you cunts seem to be supportive for once.

I wanted to clear the air that I was the cunt that let Bento know about the thread. I initially sent direct links to supportive messages to her, leaving out Greatness’ post, just to let her know even non-ERA people cared about her too, but ERA censored ‘the Bore’ out of the links. >:( Then, like a moron, I later let her know about the thread and forgot about Greatness’ post. It wasn’t my intent to single you out GG, but regardless that was the result so my apologies for that. Also, Fume I’m sorry to you as well for causing distress on her and your parts.

As to a go fund me, I don’t think she’s setting one up, and even if she decided too, would risk a ban mentioning it on ERA. If you still want to help for funds or otherwise, I’d recommend contacting her directly or seeing if Fume can help. I don’t want to interject myself further unless they ask.

Honestly I've had like near zero if not outright zero colds amd flus since masking started, I'll probably never not wear em in public

I take it off for work, but I work nights with minimal proximity to anyone other than 1 person one shift a week and it's still minimal proximity overall,  I'd wear em if I worked days or worked Tilda's job

I mean... I dunno if the tiktok app is inherently doing anything shady, but it does make you fucking think when you find out the version of tiktok available in china is hard capped in hours usage per day for kids, and the content it promotes to them is all fun science experiments you can perform at home with household items, where the version they let the west have is serving you up eThots lip syncing to cat dance videos or the drink bleach challenge 24/7

They publicly said everyone was getting their NeoGAF.com slate wiped clean and allowed to start over on ResetERA.com as long as they stayed a good poster there.

Then they told besada they were making sure I personally couldn't sign up and had already fingered multiple other people as me failing to get in. Then a few weeks in they banned people for posting here or something. :lol

I love how the posted tweet in that thread is billed as an alert with the following major warning/advice for readers:

Be extra critical of any political imagery (especially photography) you see online that is trying to incite a reaction.

No shit?!

1000 New NeoGAF Accounts for March 2023

A warm welcome to our 1000 newly approved NeoGAF members. It's an exciting time for the video game industry, with the current generation of consoles maturing, new VR and AR tech inbound, and AI transforming the tech world more broadly.

This is set to be a great year for games, too, with Elden Ring DLC, Breath of the Wild 2, Cyberpunk DLC, and probably some other stuff no one cares about.

Come in and say hi!

 :gurl  :lore

I'd actually be curious to see active user numbers for both forums, because without going all  :nothing GAF does seem to periodically add a couple thousand new members while you rarely see anyone who didn't register at launch on Era.

That Lobster Roll fella has over 27k posts, signed up in 2019. Their posts read like someone who got permabanned and decided to come back as a phony ally, one of those "That's it, I want to be a mod someday" types that never pan out.

Constructive starts pondering why Era hates Gen Z so much:
Quote from: TheEchosOfTheCyborg
So two observations I've noticed.

The first is that over the past few weeks I've noticed whenever Gen Z or just younger people in general are brought up or is a subject that affects them the most, the attitude of the threads are very often aggressive towards them; often talking down to the group, upset at some Gen Z in general liking or using stuff that the users don't, acting like their lazy or uniformed or just treating Gen Z with contempt or even glee at them being screwed over. To be honest, much of it comes across no different as the "Millennials are killing X industry!" or the many number of time throughout history where older generations have vilified and belittle younger ones despite it benefiting no one but right-wing media who need an enemy for the readers/viewers to dislike.

The second is and this may very well be luck, the subject matter of the threads or coincidence is that politely asking for people not to be toxic to each other in the OP, the threads are less likely to be toxic. Not completely, but when I've done it in the past the threads seem generally nicer. Again this could be a case of luck.

Reading Reset Era over the years really has been an experience of watching in real time as millennials become interchangeably the same people as the worst boomers.
Toss that around for a while, until somebody points out Era shits on basically everyone:
Quote from: Mana Latte
This type of thing has been brought up numerous times in the past few pages even. It’s not just gen z but anything certain posters just want to shit on. It’s just a shit attitude problem here more so than targeting gen z. I didn’t read the thread but it feels like enough posters have brought this up that maybe something can be at least discussed about it? Isn’t the goal of this board to be a “safe” spot for users to discuss things? Not to shit on one another for whatever purpose
Quote from: Tendo
I can't speak for the original poster that brought it up, but I've seen it across a few topics.  Especially things related to banking and money.  I've seen it in gaming threads too just taking potshots at new gaming genres and stuff as if everyone should hate it.  Its ok if you don't like something, just weird and grumpy to throw groups under the bus for liking stuff.

I actively try to keep an open mind and experience new stuff as I get older because I don't want to become shut off to the world like I watched happen to my parents.  Bummer to see it happen to people my age too.

I wonder if its a reaction to realizing you aren't the newest most important group being catered too and rejecting it.  In Bo Burnham's Inside he has a line about one day being the new kid on the block and then instantly being old, and I've felt that at least professionally.  And its a weird transition for me to wrap my head around.  I dunno.  I just get bummed seeing people shit on new things just because they are new.  Or new mindsets and viewpoints to situations.

I also think there's an urge to be snarky and shitty to people out of nowhere.  You can sometimes post the most mundane thing and someone will fire back like you ran their dog over -but that's just the internet haha.
Quote from: Rinse Bassfunk
This is honestly the root of the issue. It's not an era thing, it's an internet/social media thing. Whether it's people being shitty because they feel shitty for various and understandable reason or whether it's because they enjoy winding people up. I've seen younger posters being shitty and dismissive to older posters and vice versa.

There's no fixing it short term, only trying to gradually nudge people to have and show more respect towards each other.

But yeah, it's why I don't bother conversing in so many threads because people can often be thoughtless hyperbolic bellends and generally insufferable (to be quite blunt)

Someone brings up the ever-increasing number of users it's just never worth engaging with:
Quote from: Mana Latte
This is me. Or just try and avoid discussion with a fair bit of posters. To me blocking people is a band aid and not solving it when a fair bit of topics still turn into shit slinging feats. And often it’s a lot of the same posters. One wrong read of text over the internet does in fact not have to send people here into a fucking frenzy if you just breathe and think critically before assuming the absolute worst of someone right off the bat. And sorry to feel this way but it doesn’t help when the staff also participates in it
Quote from: Tendo
This is why the majority of my post history is "[INSERT MEDIA HERE] Looks great!  Can't wait to check it out!"  Too many people assume the worst and I get jumped on for random stuff.  Finally started using the ignore feature and thats helped.

But I used to be like that too.  I was just pissy and wanted to get a witty (hurtful) zinger in I thought was funny.  I can't remember when I flipped, but I now actively try to avoid doing that and engage with more good faith.  I'm not perfect, but trying my best to be kinder.  I type and delete a lot more posts than I used to haha.

Then this guy does the thing that will keep era an aggro shithole forever:
Quote from: Rinse Bassfunk
Thing is, in respect to topics that affect people's safety or identity or any number of very personal issues I accept and applaud posters who stand up for themselves and others even with volatility. It's just when the topic is media, products, or content so many posters are just so insufferable about their opinions.

The advantage in real life is that I can walk away from these types of people, not have to tolerate the toxicity. On here, unless the poster is acting in a ban worthy way they are here poisoning the well. They can be ignored, but threads can start to get illegible and are still poisoned in terms of the direction threads take.

Given how quickly posters tie everything to key identity issues (Crossing Eden's shitfit over AI, everything around anything tangentially HP-related, the ongoing quest to cancel everyone famous) giving identity-based meltdowns a pass will keep Era on the path it's on.

When I was a kid, my mum was a typist and my dad was a signwriter. Both of those occupations had been rendered largely obsolete by the time I was 10.

Crossing Eden is a whiny little bitch. Can’t be arsed to link any particular post, just their whole whinging woe-is-me bollocks toward AI in general.

That’s not to say that AI isn’t something to fear, it probably is. Not because you can’t sell your zootopia porn though.
