PSA for shit thread exclusive posters:

Okay, an alt-Bore for unfunny incels is available now: https://thebore.net/forum/

I made a couple example threads just to test things, as people make the threads like "what are you playing?", random talk thread, the movies thread or whatever I'll sticky them or not. The emoticons are in a bit of a mess at the moment as I mass imported, they're all on the server but a number of them I need to go through and match the codes to here for so they aren't available in the pop-up. (Which I'll probably need to edit since it's made for a normal amount of them.) Most other things should work as intended, though I know a few things are missing and I already have some plugins. I installed no themes or anything like that. I'm posting this now in part because I can't test the likes by myself and we all know that's essential. Other features to add/disable/etc. we can discuss over there.

If bork, Joe and demi sign up I'll make them moderators just because even if they don't want to do anything. (I probably should recreate the Icon status just in case anyone ever comes back by accident or out of personal despair.) Anyone else we can discuss down the road.

Yes, I know the newsfeed only shows up on the main page. I looked at the template and it's supposed to be there. I don't have all the newsfeed items I know because the one long one about sleepovers or whatever never turned up for me to copy/paste.

I'm unfortunately not going to be available to refresh constantly out of anxiety for much of today so please don't post too much illegal content or try to crash the server with exploits. And most definitely do not use problematic uncouth language.

No.

Seriously though, this would be too easily abused by clicks, popular users, toxic users, and bad faith actors to ever be viable. You also need to keep in mind that when making ban decisions, at times we have to take into account information that we cannot share with other users due to privacy concerns.

The idea is squashed and locked within two minutes, before any regular user can comment. That's some highly efficient union busting. lol

Imagine if they went actually with this idea.

What's great is that he didn't squash it because it's a stupid idea that doesn't make any sense but because of how important the unpaid staff and all their dossiers on the members are that questioning them when they ban people for having the wrong opinion is unthinkable:

There have been situations where a stray comment to the wrong person could have gotten people into real trouble in their real lives. Or at times we've been told information that specific users felt we need to know to do our jobs correctly, but that had to stay secret due to their privacy or harassment concerns. Choosing someone to do this job requires a level of trust in the person that I don't take lightly. Everyone on staff is beyond trustworthy and we are careful to make sure it stays that way in order to keep the users safe. This isn't the sort of job where we can ever really share everything we know when making certain decisions without breaking someone's trust.

As a result, this sort of thing could never really work. Because the second we need to say "No we cannot tell you why we did that" it will turn into a dumpster fire and we're stuck between breaking someone's trust and a mob of angry users. Been there, done that. No thank you sir.

so they dox their own users and use that info to decide bans? lol

I'm pleasantly surprised this didn't get a 90+. More reviewers should call them out for the lack of non-white people and the terrible treatment of the few female characters in the game.

Hopefully Square Enix will finally get out of their edgelord boys club phase with FF XVII in 2028 or so. Maybe next time women will be allowed to do *something* besides being abused and rescued by the main white male character. Perhaps a woman could even be the next FF protagonist. Can you imagine it?

Anyway, I guess I will keep waiting for FF VII Rebirth in the meantime. I can't believe a 1997 game is more diverse than a 2023 game, but here we are.

Square Enix devoted a trilogy to Lightning, by the way. Somehow this nutter forgot that.

I have nothing against Majors. And maybe there is something more to this story, but it is hilarious ERA is bending over backwards to give Majors benefit of the doubt or at least not immediately going into "fuck him" mode and ban anyone that dares imply otherwise. I mean, these takes here:

We should all reserve judgement until the truth comes out.

That's a lot in Majors' favor. Of course, in cases like this, both sides will present all they can, so, yeah, this is 'wait and see'.

wild that so many people who purported to know him from college were dogpiling him on twitter as this news came out, implying that he'd done this before. maybe just bitter classmates?

I 100% agree. But Era often does knee-jerk reactions and “fuck this guy” responses :shrug

...would have gotten those users immediately dogpiled, accused of being a rape apologist/misogynist/rightwing chud, and shortly perma banned previously. All of a sudden "Let's wait for more info" isn't an immediate knee-jerk ban in those topics. Though I doubt they'd be as patient for more info if, say, Chris Pratt or Tom Cruise was accused.

Reminds me of when my mom and I watched the racing movie Ford v Ferrari with Matt Damon, and in the middle of the movie they showed an advertisement on a billboard of a young girl getting her underwear pulled off by a dog.

The advertisement was for a sunscreen called Coppertone, and my mom was laughing when she told those were very common back in the day.

I literally stopped the movie because I was so shocked lol.

This thread is wild. People are now arguing whether characters in FF16 are sufficiently non-white enough:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-verge-final-fantasy-xvi%E2%80%99s-lack-of-diverse-characters-makes-a-huge-world-feel-small.734409/#post-107910447

How is that confirming that Hugo is white? I'm playing the game. I'm looking at Hugo. I'm looking at Vivian.

Again, how are they white? Because Eurogamer said so? In what reality is Hugo a white man?

This is a white woman to you?

They look like white people with slight tans to me. And the developers didn't jump to cite them as PoC when asked; instead, they said that PoC wouldn't be realistic to medieval Europe. (Which is ahistorical nonsense.)

The fact that you had to say "Hugo aside" confirms that even you understand the statement "no PoC" isn't true lol. Hugo isn't white no matter how you look at it. The game is lacking in diversity and that is an issue. But there are objectively PoC in this game. There's no amount of reaching that would change that.

Am I missing something because the people in Dhalmek actually do look brown to me (I’m brown and they’re darker than I am)

Apparently everyone in Dhalmekia is white because The Verge and Eurogamer said so. I’m all for wanting devs to do better, but this is a bit too much when they straight up present misinformation about the game.

This is what happens when you're obsessed with bland, token representation: arguing whether a character is sufficiently shaded to be considered white/non-white.

This is what I found in some Resetera thread. The rest is them just complaining about his videos being clickbait.

"Anyway, to add to this thread, I'll toss in YongYea. I enjoyed his videos leading up to Metal Gear Solid 5 and Fallout 4, but once those games came out, he leaned hard into the typical gamergate style of coverage which antagonised developers and women. He also ran to PewDiePie's defense after he got caught saying the N-Word. In his response video, YongYea said that "black people say the word all the time" and that it shouldn't be a problem for PewDiePie."
