ResetERA.com: CDPR and Harry Potter are banned due to their creators supporting LGBT+ but in an insufficient manner according to extremists
Also ResetERA.com: ActiBlizz, UbiSoft, and every developer in history (Source: B-Dubs) may be accused of criminal conduct but it's not like we can ban people from enjoying those things, that would be wrong

Of course you're non-binary, OP. Binary gender is a colonial conspiracy and does not appear in nature. Nature expresses sex and gender each through a single root with infinite variation, something the colonial conspiracy suppresses through a variety of means, including brutal surgery, violent social enforcement (including through legislation), and a constant bombardment of propaganda. People who claim binary gender identity are deluded at best, and actively, consciously committing genocide at worst.

This is not a new idea. The "Long Eighteenth Century" is a history of suppressing the truth through a fraudulent structure of fabricated science.

They banned this person for speaking truth to power:

User banned (permanent): concern trolling

I like how none of the responses pointed out that nature is very binary, at least according to the colonizers science.

[Uncle]

boys used to wear dresses in olden days so anyone who thinks they are being non-binary by cross dressing are actually tapping into a well of deep-seated, instinctive masculinity

they cannot help but return to their masculine nature, and in doing so, express their need to conquer by encroaching on any small amounts of cultural territory that women have managed to claw out for themselves

So the gist of this seems to be that AEW is having crossgender matches where a dude and a chick face off. Some of these posts are setup for the good part. Spoiler cuz tweet is big, but image/video of one part of one match.

Might be an unpopular opinion…I’m all for intergender matches but have zero interest seeing a guy chop the absolute shit out of a woman like that. If AEW ends up running matches like this, no chance spots like that are allowed, esp on tv.

gotta admit that I felt very uneasy seeing that photo of Shida with the Danielson esque red marks on her shoulder. intergender matches are a no for me outside of mixed tag that forces an instant tag out for a man if a woman gets tagged and vice versa.

y'all are 100% weird.

this is wrestling. women's wrestling is wrestling. there isn't men's wrestling and then frou-frou wrestling where the hot girls pretend to wrestle, too. women's wrestling is at its best when they are fucking destroying each other -- just like men's wrestling! watch stardom. watch gcw. or any of over a dozen indie shows. women wrestlers take this shit incredibly seriously. to insinuate that they should or shouldn't be able to take a wrestling move or can't partake in the violence of the sport is complete bullshit.

tired of these sexist views of what a woman is capable of and how it's actually respectful for men to treat women as soft and to go easy on them in a SPORT THAT IS FAKE AND ENTIRELY CHOREOGRAPHED AND CONSENSUAL.

give me your scarred up, half-blind, broken bones with metal plates, red-chested warrior women and let them trade chops with minoru suzuki ASAP. wrestling is worse because of its sexist proclivities. intergender matches are the future.

the markings inflicted onto Shida in the tweet she sent out were not make up, they were legit and were intentionally caused by a male wrestler. Excuse me if that’s something that I don’t like seeing.

Women can do anything a man can and I don’t think either me or Luschient suggested anything that said they couldn’t. The hardcore match Britt had with Rosa is up there with the best matches AEW has ever done.

The context matters a lot. This was clearly a kind of initiation/recognition of her being part of the crew, a celebration of 10 years in the biz. It's something she appears proud of.

I am wary of intergender matches with green workers for a variety of reasons, but people 10 years in, with good relationships and understanding of the biz can do whatever they want imho.

Not sure why you mention the make up cuz no one said anything about this.

And that match fucking rules. Y'all are weird.

Before we start calling people weird sexists, maybe we can put a little more thought into the possible reasons that some have an aversion to male on female violence, scripted or otherwise

Like, there are very real and serious reasons that some people find those kinds of images discomforting

No. Seriously, fuck off with this shit. This is so insulting and sexist. Just get the fuck out of here comparing WOMEN'S JOBS to abuse. Absolutely disgusting. In one swoop, you hold women back in wrestling while also insulting millions who suffer from actual abuse.

What a day for several dudes in this thread to reveal how little they actually think of women.

Never said it shouldn't exist or that others shouldn't be allowed to enjoy it, but I guess since it personally makes me uncomfortable based on my own life experiences, I don't care about women

But hey, thanks for telling me that the PTSD I have from witnessing violent domestic abuse when I was a child is not a valid reason for me to be triggered by such things...really cool thing for you to do

Domestic abuse is abhorrent and a plague and your trauma and feelings are valid, but projecting that on Shida and further on an entire women's profession is objectively sexist and unacceptable.

Please don't tell me my feelings are valid and then immediately misrepresent what I'm saying in an effort to paint me as a sexist.

I made ZERO statement on the performers or the profession or anyone who actually does enjoy those spots and the only comparison I made was on a purely visual level.

All I said is that those kinds of images, in any setting or type of media, are a psychological trigger for me and possibly for others as well. I'm sorry that my brain works like that, but whatever.

I'll stop clogging the thread now.

My bad then. We were having a conversation where multiple people said they weren't supportive of intergender wrestling and drew parallels between it and domestic abuse. You joining into that conversation led me to believe that was the point you were making, too. If you were just sharing a personal comment, and not lending support to the idea that we shouldn't have intergender wrestling, then I apologize.

Jesus Christ bluexy , literally prefaced my post with the fact I support intergender wrestling, but now I’m sexist for not caring to see a dude welt up a woman’s chest? Fuck outta here with that.

the same way that all the people talking about eating the rich and guillotining billionaires has led to the real world consequences we've seen with all those dead CEOs, all those people influenced by twitter to kill their bosses

in some ways, normalizing is worse than actual actions

Jussie Smollett being found guilty of hoax will hurt LGBTQ folks reporting hate crimes

The Jussie Smollett saga may now be technically over after a Chicago jury found the actor guilty Thursday of five of the six counts he faced, but its impact will be — and has already been — felt for years to come. It doesn’t matter if the actor, who starred on “Empire,” really was beaten up by people yelling “This is MAGA country!” and is wrongly being punished or if he did stage an elaborate hoax, as the jury decided he did by finding him guilty of five counts of disorderly conduct.

Instead, the seemingly never-ending questions over the almost three years regarding the truthfulness of his account means the indisputable victims of hate crimes will now carry an even heavier burden of suspicion.

The only winners found as the dust settles are the members of the right who have declared themselves America’s real victims of hate and discrimination — people who have strategically made the Smollett case their go-to example for how the left operates and how it wrongly makes villains out of Donald Trump supporters.

Meaning Smollett's guilty verdict is their new crowning jewel as our culture wars rage on.

...

We couldn’t help but cover the story of a Black, gay celebrity who said he’d been attacked by Trump supporters. This wasn't just because it was a story involving a famous member of the community we covered, but also because for many of us who had been reporting on anti-LGBTQ crimes for years, we believed his case might help shine a light on the fact that LGBTQ folks — especially trans people — were dying at historic rates in the streets. Smollett claimed to have been attacked in those same streets.

Since journalists began accurately reporting trans homicides in the early 2010s, we have consistently seen a rise in anti-LGBTQ violence, with 2021 being the deadliest year on record, specifically for trans people. Black people in this country, regardless of their sexuality, also find themselves over-represented in FBI data documenting hate crimes in the U.S. each year.

With this guilty verdict, it’s really those people who lost — not just Smollett — with the winners being people who are now more emboldened in demanding even more from victims before receiving justice. Sure, Smollett may have lied — or at least was found guilty of it. But statistically most people who report these cases do not lie and are rarely ever believed.

What is so important for us to do in this moment, as we look to what’s next, is to ensure work is done to stop the epidemic of hate facing folks who look like Smollett. Trump supporters are not being subjected to hate crimes for supporting Trump on any level — full stop.

Trump is an expert in gaslighting America, and if we continue to allow the Smollett case, no matter where one stands on it, to detract attention from everyday people impacted by hate in this country, it would be the greatest gaslight moment of all — and a signal of more to come.

https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/jussie-smollett-guilty-verdict-rcna8192

What conservatives should realize before they relish the Jussie Smollett verdict

The actor Jussie Smollett has been found guilty of lying to police in 2019 when he claimed he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack in Chicago, bringing to a close one of the more bizarre high-profile celebrity cases in recent memory.

The Cook County State's Attorney's Office initially dropped all charges against Smollett, best known for his role on Fox’s “Empire." After a special prosecutor's review of the case, a grand jury indicted Smollett on similar charges last year.

Smollett told police in 2019 that he had been assaulted by two masked white men who shouted pro-Trump slogans, poured a bleach-like substance on him and tied a rope around his neck. But two brothers, Abimbola and Olabingo Osundairo, testified that Smollett asked them to stage the attack.

Abimbola Osundairo, who said he was friends with Smollett at the time, accused the actor of orchestrating the incident to draw media attention to actual hate mail he received in 2019. Olabinjo Osundairo told prosecutors that Smollett “had this crazy idea of getting attacked by two Trump supporters so he could post it on social media.”

Smollett held throughout the trial that the incident was not a hoax.

Nonetheless, the strange, seemingly ever-changing details in the case have provided nearly three years’ worth of material for comedians and online commentators. Some of it has been quite funny, in fact.

Even more comical, in my view, was the predictable conservative outrage over Smollett’s allegations. Conservatives took to social media in 2019 to express outrage over the dropped charges. How dare someone make such a heinous claim about followers of their dear leader, they screeched. Violent, masked white guys who shout Trump slogans and use chemical agents to attack victims?

Many on the right shamed those of us who knew such a claim was totally plausible — and then the Jan. 6 insurrection happened.

Thanks for the thread, lots of feel good posts with sound historiography:

Legit pissed that we saw all this happening in real time and certain influential pols were alright with it happening (probably because they're white supremacists).

Slow slide into tyranny.

Democrats paralyzed by fear.

I have to move out of this shit hole country asap.

I wonder if there'll be a point where elections will finally be removed. With the shrinking republican base, I can see no other way conservatives can win in the future.

What can be done?

There are two voting rights bills in the Senate, but can't really pass them due to Manchin and Sinema upholding white supremacy.

But here's the secret, it was always here. Ever since The Civil War. As the astute Professor Eddie Glaude has said, America has never dealt with its original sins of white supremacy.

I agree that the Constitution is garbage. It always was.

Absolutely in denial if you believe there will not be a civil war

and here is the secret

it ain’t the white nationalists who fight for freedom

it’s everyone vs the fascists who will have complete control through force

no scenario will lead to people just accepting fascism as the normal one party system of govt

the fascists are outnumbered and are going to continue this because it works and they feel boxed in watching the country change into something they don’t accept. They stayed in the shadows until the math was against them. They’re out in full force cheating and suppressing

Really wish it wasn't impossible to move out of this country before shit starts. It's going to get very very bad once a dictatorship starts. Especially if it's someone like Trump.

Maybe not every American is willing to fight fascism, but I have to believe there will be a fight.

People of color and a few brave white people like John Brown and other abolitionists have always been the ones with the courage to actually fight. Most white people in this country have always been fine with having a sham democracy.

Historically, the people who fight fascism have been groups of minorities that were slandered, falsely imprisoned, and murdered. The Black Panther Party, for example. I don't think the vast majority of white people are going to lift a finger.

I have a far right/Q person in my family I can check in on their social media from time to time. The current narrative is that the CIA/FBI and every other org is corrupt and our entire system need to collapse and be rebuilt under "their" guidelines. This is their plan all out in the open.

So you all are convinced that the USA will be run by a fascist dictator soon? As a Canadian that’s terrifying.

GOP won't rest until they have one and infinite power. Once they saw how easy it was in 2020, they've gone full steam ahead on it. All they need is congress/senate control and you'll never have a dem president again.

The GOP wants authoritarian capitalism controlled by one party. They want us to become China in other words, but worse because of our selfish individualistic culture.

Last civil war didn't have explosives, internet tech, drones, or guns like we do and it won't be pretty if the left ever gets as committed as the right is, it will also be necessary considering bullies and tyrants never back down.

Dems should grow a spine and just throw dirt as well to get what needs to be done. I dont care if they break the rules to pass progressive agenda. This reaching across the isles shit is DONE. Find out how to get the Dem majority (do the same shit GOP is doing, kick Reps out the seats and put your own), stack it to your advantage while its possible. It's obvious GOP isn't doing anything "illegal" so Dems should play by the same book, do questionable stuff and turn or keep counties Blue.

Democracy is ending in the US. I wish I could leave, because the writing is on the wall.

When you put it that way it sounds like there isn't necessarily a majority of Americans who are against fascism.
If that's really the case the only option is to break up the union.
Alternatively, if a majority of Americans are against fascism then you should break every rule that's standing between you and actual democracy.

Fascism can only ever exist as a reactionary, destructive movement. There's no actual theory or vision for a different government or world. It strictly exists as a reaction to perceived threats to right-wing hegemony, which is why it originally sprung out as a reaction to the fear of communism, and why America has a history of funding and aiding far-right movements across the globe. Which is really, when you boil it down, what a lot of this CRT crap is.

The world would be a better place if American "democracy" had failed as an institution.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that they only way America will ever get fixed is through lots and lots of blood.

Little bit of discussion about this going on over in the Constructive thread, where the "why aren't we banning Kanye" talk went nowhere last time. Kanye still making them sooo tired:

With the current thread about his publicist threatening people, him platforming people like Marilyn Manson, Da Baby. And performing in a concert with people like Drake a known groomer... I figured this was good to bring up again.

We should not be having hype threads for a chud.

What does not allowing posting or threads about Kanye actually do though?  "Deplatforming" Joe Rogan or Shaprio is easy, nobody wanted tor really post about those guys anyway other than to shit on them.  But the vibe I get is that this is a road the forum sort of regrets going down, because it has turned big parts of this thread, for example, into calls to ban this person or that company.   If people are free to post about whatever Kanye does, but people are also free to counter those posts and bring up what a shit head Kanye is, is that not a better solution for a discussion forum?

Not at all.

Because it's fucking exhausting to the people who are constantly having to be like "hey, maybe don't talk about a chud" and then the other people in those threads just whole heartedly ignoring any post other than they're hype.

"Discussion" doesn't work when it can be easily ignored.

I mean, its not like threads about Kanye (especially positive ones) are popping up 3-4 times a day.  I don't understand why the existence of Kanye discussion on this forum is "exhausting".  Discussion should be able to be ignored, especially here.  Thats not a bad thing.  Not everyone has to engage with you just because you feel a certain way.  And I say this as someone who thinks Kanye completely fucking sucks as a person.

It's exhausting because it's the same people in those threads just hyping it all.

It's exhausting because we say the same things in each thread.

It's exhausting because while they don't pop up often, they often stay near the top.

I'd rather not have to go into a thread a few times a month to say "Hey, maybe we shouldn't promote a MAGA chud who promotes terrible people."

That's why we stop discussions of artists and creators.

Meanwhile, deplatforming discussion engine revving up for HP:

Honestly, if this site is going to keep banning hype threads for the Hogwarts game, then might as well extend that to the movies also (or the IP in general), especially when JK Rowling is directly involved.

Probably inspired by:

I'm curious, perhaps a mod could explain?

Why do we have a total ban on discussion of the new HP game (which I agree with, btw fuck JKR) but discussion of the films which very much also fatten her purse is allowed?

Like, what's the difference?

On topic: The FB films are a boring slog you should avoid.

Their cries to ban people/franchises never fail to amuse. And it all began because the mods banned Colin Moriarty for making an Al Bundy joke

Is it even deplatforming, if you never had any interest in his content in the first place?

If you think about it, Al Bundy made more harm to women than Ted Bundy.

Best part is how he goes "you're not the main character my dudes" to straight white cishet males while making himself the center of the entire rant. (Sure, he claims he's doing it on the behalf of the oppressed but he does that by centering his own voice.)

edit: omg, the follow up post is entirely about his own experience as a white cishet male

its a pretty  take that him calling some gay guys feggits a propos of nothing gives him insight into writing a comedy routine.

I just changed my answerphone message, guess that makes me qualified to talk about the life of a professional voice over artist

"yes I'd like to sign up for an I-told-you-so, to take place here three years from now"

I mean... in a way, that was the original jussie smollett thread.

JAYsuzzz Christ, pal! It’s called ‘Copy & Paste’!

And more to the point, if its so fucking exhausting, SKIP IT, you choad. If you keep having to do it, then it sounds like anyone who would see it has done so and have rationalized past it or dismissed it. This is the heart of their bullshit. There is no moral disagreement, its only my position or Chudville.
