My favorite part of that OP is:

"I'm going to keep this short, because I can only type with one hand. I broke my right arm and it fully hasn't healed yet, so I have to type with my left hand only which is why I tend to keep my posts short. So to keep this a short matter...."

Just, delightfully stupid.

It's kind of wild that you're so openly admitting to everyone that you view an entire culture strictly as a sexual fetish

THIS is why people are not open or sharing on Era, or at least, the smart ones aren’t. Here’s the relevant parts of him mentioning Korean women.

So to keep this a short matter, this genius decided to pay for a high-end Korean escort. It was my dream to do a Korean chick.

I just might have killed myself for fetishizing Korean women. Go me!

Content Investment

Create a new fund to specifically develop trans and non-binary talent
- This fund should support both above-the-line (ATL) and below-the-line (BTL) talent;
- This fund should exist in addition to the existing Creative Equity Fund;
- Increase investment in trans and non-binary content on Netflix comparable to our total investment in transphobic content, including marketing and promotion;
- Invest in multiple trans creators to make both scripted and unscripted programs across genres;
- Revise internal processes on commissioning and releasing potential harmful (“sensitive”) content, including but not limited to involving parties who are a part of the subject community and can speak to potential harm, or consulting with 3rd party experts/vendors;
- Increase the ERG role in conversations around potentially harmful content and ensure we have best in class regional support on complicated intersectional diversity issues;
- Hire trans and non-binary content executives, especially BIPOC, in leading positions;

Employee Relations and Safety

- Recruit trans people, especially BIPOC, for leadership roles in the company (Director, VP, etc.) and promote an inclusive environment for them;
- Allow employees to remove themselves from previous company promotional content (e.g. allyship and diversity videos, etc.);
- Eliminate references/imagery of transphobic titles or talent inside of the workplace, including but not limited to murals, posters, room names, swag;

Harm Reduction

- Acknowledge the harm and Netflix’s responsibility for this harm from transphobic content, and in particular harm to the Black trans community;
- Add a disclaimer before transphobic titles that specifically flag transphobic language, misogyny, homophobia, hate speech, etc. as required;
- Boost promotion for Disclosure and other trans-affirming titles in the platform; Suggest trans-affirming content alongside and after content flagged as anti-trans.

For all seriousness K-Drama's are, for the most part, awful at LGBT representation and the Netflix funded ones aren't any better than the rest. Would be nice to see more K-Dramas that reflect the reality LGBT Korean people rather than using them for tokens/quick jokes.

Fast forward to:

"I can't believe Squid Game just killed a trans character"
Throw it on the pile:
Squid Game plays into a harmful homophobic trope
This could have been handled better.
It's Kinda Weird How Much Squid Game Hates Women

In a strange way, Squid Game reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077. Both have women as their best characters, be they Kang Sae-byeok, Judy Alvarez, or Panam Palmer. However, both also seem to harbour a deep resentment towards women
The women in "Squid Game" deserve better than their supposedly heroic acts onscreen
In shortchanging its female characters, the Netflix series also falls short in its critique of a capitalist society
However, our youngest generation may not understand the show’s context, according to Wheatley.

“It may make them question, ‘Why is nobody helping them?’ Clearly, there are messages there that we really don’t want our kids to take onboard,” she explained.

“That might well shake the foundations of what they’re being taught at school, which is that we care and we help each other.”

Her statement comes after a primary school in Belgium earlier this month warned parents about “Squid Game” after finding students re-enact dangerous games on the playground as depicted in the show. “We [must remain] vigilant so that this unhealthy and dangerous game is stopped!,” read an announcement from the school on Facebook, after students were seen punching each other as penance for losing in the “Red Light, Green Light” game.

I knew this scene would cause problems when the show started blowing up, mainstream lefties aren't ready for just how poorly LGBT characters are treated in Korean media.

The article mentions Love Alarm as a positive representation of queer characters which makes me wonder if they've watched Love Alarm at all lol

I had somebody highly recommend the Netflix K-drama Mine to me, and it has a plotline about a closeted lesbian and what her identity would mean for her in the business world that felt ripped straight out of the 90s or early 00s. Pretty in-line with the TV era that matches the VIP thing in Squid Game, but more for the drama and less as a joke.

I take it that's progressive for K-dramas, then?

2. "History of sinophobia" - Perhaps this is true -no idea of this poster's history- but in regards to the post...what the fuck does that have to do with anything?  Absolutely nothing.  I guess they just wanted to shit on the guy after perming him.
The Sinophobia:

User Banned (1 Month): Sinophobia

Larian Studios, the developers of the Divinity series and Baldur's Gate III, is known as one of the biggest independent game development studios in Europe. It's not part of a bigger publishing structure or publicly traded company.

In the last couple of years, very hungry caterpillars like Tencent, Embracer, and Keywords have been gobbling up companies everywhere. While I was under the impression that Larian was still wholly owned by its founders and some early investors, a friend of mine and I did some research into the company and we found out that Tencent actually holds 30% of the shares of the company. As far as I knew or could find online, the acquisition of a minority stake in Larian Studios by Tencent was never publicised or reported on (but maybe I missed it?).



While we don't know exactly when the acquisition happened, there are signs it may have been around September 2018, when the company was restructured from a legal perspective and a holding company in Ireland was established (this correlation is just a guess of ours though). In the financial filings we found of that holding company for 2019, the following shareholders are listed: 62.04% by Swen Vincke (the founder and CEO), 30.00% by Tencent Cloud Europe BV (a Dutch letter box company wholly owned by Tencent), and 7.96% by Swen's wife.

So yeah, Tencent owns part of Larian Studios. I thought this was newsworthy. Sell my company to China if old.

Mine is pretty progressive in terms of LGBT representation and it's pretty bad.

For good representation I'd suggest Romance is a Bonus Book or Reply 1997. They're both great, on Netflix, and have queer characters that aren't treated poorly or as tokens.

Why is Era not covering the #netflixwalkout  which has 30-40 people protesting?
FACT CHECK:
Hundreds of Netflix employees and supporters gathered in the shadow of the streaming giant’s Los Angeles headquarters on Wednesday to protest Dave Chappelle’s standup special “The Closer.” But the event, which was intended to showcase solidarity with the trans community, grew tense at certain points as protesters clashed with a vocal crowd of the comedian’s fans.

...

Ashlee Marie Preston, a media personality who organized the event, said that she and other organizers had invited Chappelle to speak to them and were rebuffed.

“We’re up against a the emergence of hate economy,” said Preston. “And there is this manipulation of algorithmic science that distorts the way that we perceive ourselves and others. And I think that companies like Netflix, Facebook, and Instagram, they play into it, and they monetize on it. And so I think that this is important to show up today.”

Counter-protesters were also out in full force, bearing signs with messages like “Jokes Are Funny,” and “Netflix Don’t Cancel Free Speech.” At times the situation threatened to devolve as counter-protestors pushed up against trans speakers. One man’s “Jokes Are Funny” sign was ripped out of his hand by a pro-trans protestor and split in half, leaving him with a stick and little else. Crowd members said he was wielding a weapon and asked for his removal.

...

A subset of counter-protestors, primarily comprised of white women, shouted anti-trans catchphrases, saying, “self-love, not surgery,” which appeared to be a dismissive reference to gender reassignment procedures.

...

The event attracted some high-profile talent, including “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway, who argued that Chappelle’s jokes crossed a line.

“Trans people are in the middle of a holocaust,” Soloway said in an address to the crowd. “Apartheid, murder, a state of emergency, human rights crisis, there’s a mental health crisis. There’s a suicide crisis, a bullying crisis, an anxiety, depression, self-hatred state of emergency crisis. But trans people are also out here dreaming. Dreaming of safety, dreaming to be alive, to be human, to belong and to have some time, which is privilege.”

“The line is simple: stop making things worse,” Soloway added. Soloway also called on Netflix to appoint a trans person to the board “this fucking week.”

Gee, I must have missed where the vast majority of the media was loud in its support of the Jewish people in Europe and there were German government programs to support them too.

I also must have missed Dave Chappelle's gas chambers and roaming death squads and the ghettos that they've been forced into.

RE member counts:

In August 2018 (when Era was a year old) they just hit 40k members. [OP nuked their account LMAO].

Now, a little over 3 years later, they have only reached 54k members. So less than 400 members a month net gain.

XenForo does not include banned members in member counts by default iirc. It would be interesting to see the cumulative number of permabans but as far as I am aware reseterabans does not do this which is a shame
It's more dire than I thought.  :lol I've been out of the Resetera Cinematic Universe™  for a few years but gave them the benefit of a doubt and assumed they had a steady level of new accounts YoY.

Dying forum is dying. Cerium grifted out at the right time.  :like

Yep.

Also nobody smart or who wants to have genuine debate without getting banned for wrongthink, wants to post there. Breaking news will be all over twitter or discord.

It's funny. A cursory glance at the gaming part of the forum shows threads that haven't even dropped off the front page for 2 days, and outside of the official threads have barely crossed 10 pages. Today only the GOW for PC thread has done numbers, everything else is stagnant.

Most of the more rabid 'content' creators of the forum have moved to other sites.

The ban bot used to have graphs of the active users and user count over time and stuff, now it's just a 404 page though. Wonder if that's what was breaking it.

If it was setup as a nonprofit, then no, it wouldn't be sold for millions. This forum was setup as an LLC. There was a motivation to profit after making this forum, regardless of the intent.
I remember when all the prominent members and "community resettlers" were spreading the story that forming ResetERA.com as an LLC meant that there could never be a single owner.

Now, of course, we know that Cerium did it to lock out anyone else from profiting.

Glad to see how much Era truly gives a shit about the trans community in regards to the Netflix employees doing the walkout. All this rage at Chappelle and barely any discussion today as the walkout happened. Was honestly looking for the thread about it to be firmly planted at the top of page 1 all day. Nope! More evidence of how performative they are over there.

I don't know why I went down this rabbit hole about non profits and gamer hotline.

The shift of compensation and program services is.   :delicious

(I'm sure this has been run into the ground.


Also Imagine thinking being a nonprofit prevent you from cashing in on it.

"Now you just gotta see this one folks, the alphabet people started protesting at Netflix because of some jokes I made.
So we send our audio guy Brad there with a couple of friends, a pack of condoms just in case and a sign that says 'Jokes are Funny', now watch what happens next"

Why is Era not covering the #netflixwalkout  which has 30-40 people protesting?
FACT CHECK:
Hundreds of Netflix employees and supporters gathered in the shadow of the streaming giant’s Los Angeles headquarters on Wednesday to protest Dave Chappelle’s standup special “The Closer.” But the event, which was intended to showcase solidarity with the trans community, grew tense at certain points as protesters clashed with a vocal crowd of the comedian’s fans.

...

Ashlee Marie Preston, a media personality who organized the event, said that she and other organizers had invited Chappelle to speak to them and were rebuffed.

“We’re up against a the emergence of hate economy,” said Preston. “And there is this manipulation of algorithmic science that distorts the way that we perceive ourselves and others. And I think that companies like Netflix, Facebook, and Instagram, they play into it, and they monetize on it. And so I think that this is important to show up today.”

Counter-protesters were also out in full force, bearing signs with messages like “Jokes Are Funny,” and “Netflix Don’t Cancel Free Speech.” At times the situation threatened to devolve as counter-protestors pushed up against trans speakers. One man’s “Jokes Are Funny” sign was ripped out of his hand by a pro-trans protestor and split in half, leaving him with a stick and little else. Crowd members said he was wielding a weapon and asked for his removal.

...

A subset of counter-protestors, primarily comprised of white women, shouted anti-trans catchphrases, saying, “self-love, not surgery,” which appeared to be a dismissive reference to gender reassignment procedures.

...

The event attracted some high-profile talent, including “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway, who argued that Chappelle’s jokes crossed a line.

“Trans people are in the middle of a holocaust,” Soloway said in an address to the crowd. “Apartheid, murder, a state of emergency, human rights crisis, there’s a mental health crisis. There’s a suicide crisis, a bullying crisis, an anxiety, depression, self-hatred state of emergency crisis. But trans people are also out here dreaming. Dreaming of safety, dreaming to be alive, to be human, to belong and to have some time, which is privilege.”

“The line is simple: stop making things worse,” Soloway added. Soloway also called on Netflix to appoint a trans person to the board “this fucking week.”

I’ve never been to a Hooters… I kind of want to go to see how horrible it is. The ones close to me look so run down I’m surprised they are still around.

Gee, I must have missed where the vast majority of the media was loud in its support of the Jewish people in Europe and there were German government programs to support them too.

I also must have missed Dave Chappelle's gas chambers and roaming death squads and the ghettos that they've been forced into.
Are you being a Trans-Holocaust Denier?!

All this for Netflix to give them a pat on the head and say they’ll take all this under advisement.
