User poses an actually kind of interesting question in the Constructive thread:

Can we please censore the F word in the thread titles? I live in Iran and the government here will block urls based on words. So if enough people here were to visit such threads Resetera might end up getting blocked entirely.
On top of that most swear words in thread titles are unnecessary, look at the new CoD OT.

Users empathize and discuss:

I'm not a mod, but this honestly doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I'm not sure we really need blatant swearing in thread titles.

Hmm, I'd feel quite uncomfortable restricting my "free speech" (so to speak) just so some super restrictive regime doesn't take offense with it.

I wonder if a workaround could be for the title to show it but the URL to change it to f$@% somehow (not sure if that's possible but it seems like it could be).

This might be a tolerable solution if its possible.

I mean I don't think it's really curtailing free speech as much as just asking people to be considerate in thread titles specifically. I mean you all know how much I swear.

The regime taking offense means the Iranian people won't be able to access this website freely.

Morrigan Morrigans:

Tbh I'm surprised it's not banned there already. My site is banned in Russia, lol. Russian visitors just use a VPN...

Curious to see if staff address the post, and if so if they'll go with Morrigan's 'lol use a VPN'.

Ideally you'd want to visit Era only through TOR.

Messofanego in that coworkers talking crap thread:

It sounds like they want a bit of power so they have found a weaker target to bully, maybe because they were bullied in school so want to take it out on someone else? Don't give them the satisfaction, just report to HR and leave after you've found a replacement job.

He's supposedly a therapist, right?

It is legitimately pathetic how much effort incels put into hating women.

It's also worth noting that Black Panther, the most critically acclaimed MCU film ever released and one of the most important cultural moment in modern cinema, has the third lowest user score behind the two female-fronted solo films.

I actually cringed at the Venom joke at the end. I don't mean that in the hyperbolic internet definition of "cringe" either.

This looks amazingly bad.

It's almost impressive how terrible this looks. A few notes:

- The joke at the end makes absolutely no sense.

- The line about San Francisco seems to confirm that this takes place in the Venom universe.

- In the old trailer, some people assumed that using the Raimi Spider-Man on the "murderer" poster was a dumb placeholder but it's still here in this trailer. Why? That doesn't make sense. Also, it's literally PROMO ART for the old films. They used promo art for that.

This is Musk trolling the "tax the rich" people. We've all seen these unfounded claims/memes running around that "world poverty could be solved by blah, blah, blah". He's just asking them to put his money where their mouths are. Show him the evidence and he'll fund it. Don't have any evidence to back up your claim, then fuck off.

If they don't have the evidence, then they are just contributing to the fake news epidemic that currently causes most problems in the world.

In fairness to the UN dude, he never actually said he could solve world hunger, he said that cash would save a bunch of peoples lives and also offset some of the things-got-even-worseness of covid.

CNN added the "2% OF MUSKS WORTH WOULD SOLVE WORLD HUNGER" nonsense to get people to click on the article.
Which doesn't exactly refute your issue with 'fake news' I realise, but...

I wonder if a workaround could be for the title to show it but the URL to change it to f$@% somehow (not sure if that's possible but it seems like it could be).

Careful now, this would set a dangerous precedent in allowing users using - perhaps unknowingly! - offensive language to be automatically corrected prior to causing any offence and needing to get a 3 week ban for Ableist Language.

This could even extend to not banning people for referencing unpersons and ungames!

Where will this not-banning madness end?

While we probably shouldn't make light of nazis, grammar prescriptivism does have its own roots in racism, classism, and ethnocentrism. So being a grammar snob isn't exactly a historically good thing.

I mean think about what you are equating the person to for being a stickler about grammar. There are better terms to be used than to label anybody a (blank) Nazi, unless they're a literal Nazi in 2021.

No, but it needs to be written better. Why have racism or discrimination in your game if it isn't actually exploring the issue or has zero applicability to the real world? If you're oppressed group in your game is either A) actually REALLY fucking different (ie not even the same fucking species) or B) have committed atrocities in the past, then just stop writing this side plot right fucking now as it has no bearing to the real world.


For instance, the latest Deus Ex games take what is clearly a Class Struggle but stupidly tries to co-opt imagery and words associated with racial discrimination. Hey idiots, 1) Becoming Augmented is a choice, 2) Augmented people ARE different, they can literally rip a humans arm off with little effort. So yes, you should expect some different treatment. You should expect to see words and imagery associated with class struggle, such as "Peace, Land and Bread" instead we get "Aug Lives Matter." 🤦‍♂️

How is ethnocentrism even bad in this situation?  I learned proper English grammar after immigrating from a non-English speaking country because that's what's expected of you to communicate with other people here in the US.  Of course a language revolves around ethnocentrism - that's the point.  What am I missing here?

Oh for sure this will happen. Venom gets panned by critics and they think it will bomb, movie proceeds to do gangbusters at the box office. Joker was going to unite the incels worldwide and we were set to have theater shootings in record numbers, movie proceeds to review fairly well, no shootings happen and the movie does gangbusters at the box office.
