[maninthemirror]

Actually going through the entire thread of Chappelle 90% have not watched the closer special. It looks like they are all basing it off screenshot quotes from news article which ironically Dave also says in the special. “The folks who criticize me never see me talk or never actual hear me … I’m not against trans people… I have an issue with white people…… and if they only listen they will realise when I’m joking about trans people I’m actually talking about white people…. So I’m begging the lgbtq community to stop punching down on me”

It was preceded by a bit where he said : “the lgbt community is gay until they become white, then they use their white community to call the cops on the black man… I know a black gay brother would never call the cops on another black brother”

According to local media reports, Fifty was killed by a man with whom she had been in a relationship for more than a year. Tragically, interpersonal violence accounts for a significant number of fatalities against transgender and gender non-conforming people. In 2020, approximately seven in ten transgender and gender non-conforming people killed as a result of fatal violence were killed by an acquaintance, friend, family member or intimate partner.

Yeah, Dave Chappelle's jokes are literally killing trans people.

This happened with the first Netflix special. All the metldowns over the Jenner joke. Half the people arguing admitted to not seen the whole thing or the punchline.

"I don't have to see the context to know the joke"

This also around the same time they were championing traitor manning, and defending manning as "undercover' in right wing circles.




e:

People are reacting to another joke from the special after it was written about.

Nobody clearly watched the special in that thread.

“The man loved my sister and felt empathy towards her human experience and, yes, he makes terrible jokes that are also funny,” Brandy added in her Facebook post. “News flash, our whole family does that. Our funerals are laughter through tears, we mourn by remembering the times we laughed together, and yes, some inappropriate humor, too... As often as Dave stands up for Daphne, we will be there for Dave. This man is our tribe, and we mourn alongside him.”

The 48-year-old was quickly taken to task by the LGBTQ community for wading into the controversy surrounding rapper DaBaby, who inexplicably spewed homophobic comments during his performance at Miami’s Rolling Loud festival over the summer.

They actually did, there was a thread announcing the special that got locked with this message:

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
So the special is out, and yet again it contains some deeply transphobic content.

Dave Chappelle Says He’s a TERF and Is Quitting LGBTQ Jokes

Given that this is the case, we are not comfortable with allowing this thread to exist as an ordinary "hype" thread. This is not ordinary content that can be ignored, and comments just blindly applauding the special will be hurtful to many trans members. For that reason we're locking this thread.

MEMBERS MAY CREATE A NEW THREAD ABOUT THIS SPECIAL, but if it is to stay open the OP must highlight the transphobia and discussion must not blindly praise the entire special as though the transphobia does not exist. Engage with the problem, acknowledge the problem, or don't have a thread at all.

Also be aware that racism in any thread no matter the context will not be tolerated. This has been a problem in past Chappelle threads and we're not looking to repeat that.

They only allowed a thread to criticize Dave Chappelle for transphobia, not to actually discuss anything in the special.

Yeah, the thread on r/games is pretty much the same as this thread on ERA. The mods there usually clamp down on anything similar, but it's very telling that they've allowed Sugiyama to be an exception to the rule.

He might be the only person in the entire gaming industry so far that will get this kind of public treatment. And it's for a very important reason. We're living in an age where more and more people are starting to wake up to the idea that using decorum as a defense is really just the ultimate admission that the subject being shielded by it has few redeeming qualities to begin with, and it's a tool to preserve a shitty status quo rather than anything borne out of good faith.

It's also worth noting that the whole 'separate the artist from the art' stuff kinda falls apart in this case when there's reasonable cause to believe that his politics have indeed seeped into his work - I wouldn't put it past him if it turns out that the reason why we got MIDI soundtracks overseas while Japan gets orchestral music was partly due to his ultra nationalistic tendencies.

Human rights (except self-ownership of labor) are more important than your desire to accumulate (aka steal) things. No one should have to work for anything they need. Simple.

If you reject this then you are perpetuating criminal behavior and literally cooking the planet.

I worked freelance for like 5 years after leaving college, do you know what I learned? You need to have a change of pace at some point. You can't do your work in the same place you have fun or you'll have a hard time turning off. Having an actual place to work that is separate from where you play can be good for your mental health. It helps turn off and get away from work after the job is done. I damn near lost it before figuring that out and getting a separate desk to work at.

Love how ‘instrumental in the shaping of harsh copyright law’ is in the same breath of ‘denied Japanese war crimes’.

I really wonder two things:

1) if at some point they realize that the decrying of these death celebrations are for their own humanity, not for the dead persons
2) how soon that particular bar is dropped until it goes to just ‘proponent of harsh copyright law’, to ‘retweeted Joe Rogan’, to ‘didn’t put the change in my hand’.

I haven't read the entire thread so there may be one or two people doing this. But literally nobody banned was "tone policing ... with regards to Sugiyama's bigotry" they were tone policing with regards to people "celebrating or cheering the death of public figures" and tone policing "members that appear to be using an obituary thread solely to post about how glad they are that person is dead" which may be words that should be familiar to someone claiming to be an admin of ResetERA.com.

If the admins like Nepenthe wish to establish that the "sensitive" thread was an exception to the rule as allowed by the rule they should state that. Instead they are too pussy to do that because they're afraid of any kind of standard being established that they can be criticized for.

Ethos and Praxis in the Meta: ResetERA.com staff actioning racist student group at Emerson College: https://www.thefire.org/emerson-college-investigates-suspends-conservative-student-group-for-stickers-criticizing-chinas-government/

The next day, Emerson's International Student Affairs team sent out a statement to the college's international students decrying the "stickers that expressed anti-China hate." Emerson Interim President William Gilligan sent a separate email to the student body in which he promised that "the College will initiate an investigation."

Under pressure from other student groups who accused TPUSA of anti-Asian bias and xenophobia, including the Emerson Chinese Student Association, the college launched an investigation into the group. In an Instagram video, the TPUSA chapter said the stickers are critical of the Chinese government, not the Chinese people.

On Oct. 1, the TPUSA chapter's leaders received a letter from Julie Rothhaar-Sanders, Emerson's director of community standards, stating that the college had launched a formal investigation of TPUSA under Emerson's Bias-Related Behavior and Invasion of Privacy policies. While the investigation is active, TPUSA faces "interim action," meaning the group is barred from normal activities, such as hosting events or reserving campus space for meetings.

The most prominent student organization pushing for TPUSA’s defenestration is the Chinese Students Association (CSA), which has a dubious record of taking Beijing’s line on various issues, including the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement.

Before Gilligan’s email and the announcement of the suspension, the Emerson CSA posted a statement to Instagram complaining about the stickers. “We denounce all forms of racism and bigotry against Chinese individuals as well as the entire Asian community. Emerson is supposed to be an inclusive community, yet any hate speech is unacceptable and we experience tremendous pain from this incident,” read the post, which went on to call for disciplinary action to be taken against the Emerson TPUSA chapter.

“The school’s official Instagram account liked a post from a student organization calling for our punishment, all before reaching out to us,” Neves told NR

In 2019, a campus controversy over the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong bubbled up. Frances Hui, then a junior at the school, led a movement on campus to draw attention to the plight of Hong Kong’s democrats. She wrote an op-ed for the school’s newspaper that earned her threats from two members of the CSA that April. A number of the group’s other members claimed that her criticism of the country was racist.

In an interview with NR, Hui recalled that after one CSA member posted her op-ed alongside the message “whoever opposes China must be executed,” the Emerson administration failed to take action. Hui had asked only that the university issue a statement condemning the death threat. Instead, in June 2019, administrators held a meeting with her in which Jim Hoppe, the college’s vice president, dismissed her concerns about safety. Adding insult to injury, she was eliminated from consideration for a part-time job at the Office of International Student Affairs soon after. She was, she claims, deemed too controversial to represent the school to its international students, some 60 percent of whom are mainland Chinese.

At the time, the CSA’s officers made an argument remarkably similar to the one that they have advanced in their social-media posts about the TPUSA controversy. “You are disrespecting my country, and that’s my culture and that’s part of who I am. As much as I’m really open-minded, I still feel really uncomfortable to be confronted by others here,” Beini Wang, then the president of the group, told WGBH News.

Even includes a self-hating bigot:

Emerson TPUSA vice president Kjersten Lynum said in a video posted to Instagram that the stickers referred to the Chinese government’s well-documented human-rights atrocities, including the Uyghur genocide. “It has nothing to do with Asians or Asian culture. I am Chinese-Singaporean myself, and I’m offended by people who suggest I have hatred toward my own race,” she said.

• dislikes could be added, but only if mods and prominent members get to have more and weightier dislikes to remind everyone how much more important they are
• prominent member dislikes auto generate reports

This Kotaku article is literal gibberish, they have no idea what any of it means so they just pasted random paragraphs from DFEH's request while hinting that Activision Blizzard was doing something nefarious by complying with the EEOC settlement. This is the actual only relevant parts in the entire article, the rest is nonsense reporting:

Yesterday, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) filed a motion to intervene in a potential settlement between the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Activision Blizzard. The motion argues that the DFEH’s own trial against Activision Blizzard will be irreparably damaged by the conditions of said settlement. The settlement includes a clause which requests that Activision Blizzard be able to remove any allegations of sexual harassment from the personnel files of settlement claimants, effectively destroying evidence that is essential to the DFEH’s own trial.

The order to alter records is included as part of the settlement and reads as follows:

Within thirty (30) days of the date that the EEOC notifies [Activision Blizzard] of the names on the Distribution Lists, [Activision Blizzard] agrees to:

A. Remove from the personnel files of each Eligible Claimant any references to the allegations related to sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and/or related retaliation except to the extent that Defendants must keep records of the allegations or any Eligible Claimant’s involvement in this Charge in order to effectuate this Decree, in which case such records must be maintained separately from Eligible Claimants’ personnel files.

Totally shocked that the comments both on Twitter and Kotaku are all about how this should be illegal, that Kotick should be in prison for doing this and that it's legally an admission of guilt.

NOTE: Literally all companies have been credibly accused of illegally shredding evidence whenever possible in defiance of the law, this is not a reason to single out ActivisionBlizzard titles for criticism or banning nor is it reason to ruin the enjoyment of others of their wonderful titles that are available now like Diablo II: Resurrected!

The most prominent student organization pushing for TPUSA’s defenestration is the Chinese Students Association (CSA), which has a dubious record of taking Beijing’s line on various issues, including the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement.

So they are counting that useful idiots think this is totally a racial thing and not usual republican China fear mongering (that they just proved right...).

Didn't they cancel Hoeglaw as well? Not entirely sure anymore what it was related to. Cyberpunk, Harry potter?

He follows Colin Moriarty on Twitter.

eta:

Zeovajayjay is of course onto it

While this might be true, I would ask that we not boost up Hoeg Law too much in this thread.

He's recently shown his ass lately, showing support for Colin Moriarty and defending Rowling's transphobia as an "opinion."

According to local media reports, Fifty was killed by a man with whom she had been in a relationship for more than a year. Tragically, interpersonal violence accounts for a significant number of fatalities against transgender and gender non-conforming people. In 2020, approximately seven in ten transgender and gender non-conforming people killed as a result of fatal violence were killed by an acquaintance, friend, family member or intimate partner.

Yeah, Dave Chappelle's jokes are literally killing trans people.

 

They did this with the Trans rememberance month sticky or whatever too; while implying every single name listed was a victim of hate and killed purely for beign trans, it had people who'd done shit like murder their ex and their new partner, then suicide by cop by trying to stab police officers.

It's almost like there's just a list that nobody fucking bothers to check before propagating.

Dafuq is this? So because shelter is a basic human need, its reprehensible to offer it as a service in exchange for currency?

Dumbfucks, how do you square that with a restaurant? Or a clothing store?

Are they really so stupid to not see they are arguing for people to just walk up to or in something and occupy/take whatever they want?

“This is my place now. You own it? Fuck ooooof, this is a N-E-E-D! I’ll take that cheeseburger too, I’m hungry”

 

era genuinely seem to believe that a global redistribution of wealth would be the famous billionaires theyve heard of like jeff bezos lose their gold plated toilet paper, and everyone else gets to live with whatever free shit they feel like getting forever.
Not that they'd lose a bunch of shit because they think $100k p/a is struggle money and meanwhile in india / africa / large parts of asia

You know he is just stating a fact and you can totally ignore the rest of the stuff you hate him for?

What does this have to do with working in an office?

he didn't even get a fruit basket!

It's pretty funny that his two "Space Jews" jokes, which were critiquing how Israel treats Palestine, have flown completely under the radar

What do they have to do with Dave Chappelle's transphobia? (Assuming they even exist, I haven't seen them mentioned in any Twitter threads about Dave's transphobia.)

For a site that sure like to throw around the term "anti intellectualism", #cancelling a lawyer for supporting the idea that its beneficial to be exposed to multiple viewpoints - not even the person espousing that statement! - sure fucking seems like its not exactly a fan of critical thought
