It has been extremely satisfying watching dumb fuck lefties who have consistently said dumb fuck lefty things about Russia and China getting their dumb fuck ideologies handed to them by Putin's imperialist invasion and dumb fuck ideological rants and China's reluctance to speak out and their opposition to motions in the UN to call on Russia to stop their imperialist war.

Has incelsiorlef and Morrigan and the rest just discovered CodePink and the rest of the "anti-war" movement? They've been talking like this for decades now. They defended people like Milosevic and Saddam as "innocent" too.

User Banned (1 Week): Concern Trolling; White Fragility

As long as character dont get whitewashed like Barret in FF7 remake I'm mostly just fine with it (as an Afro American).

Much rather have Ultrawide support on PC and good perf. So yeah, rather see the dev effort funding for an additional engineer over more artists.

tl;dr - As long as they dont whitewash (turn a black character into Italian or something I'm ok). And I still bought FF7 remake so meh its on me too

sometimes I just make an Asian looking character anyways so it doesnt bother me. But Iya sure it can be annoying cause I did try to make an african looking character in Elden Ring and it went real bad real fast. Even tho I was annoyed I'd rather see dev focus go into things that benefits all gamers (like improved perf)

This is like... the dumbest and most flippant point of view you could have brought into the thread.

S1 - User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive, inflammatory commentary regarding representation

Get mad all you want; I'd still rather the budget go towards programming then Art which is just fluff in the end (cosmetic)

Go make a poll. I'm sure if you got a 1,000 votes and the options were:
Spend time on making lots of options just for one race
Spend budget on improving performance on ALL platforms
Overwhelming the majority will vote on option #2. After game runs perfectly on all platforms then feel free to focus on cosmetics. That's all there is to it

You claim my point of view is dumb well; your argument makes no sense too me.

And yes I am a C++ software engineer so I understand software development. Plus I am Afro American. I'm just able to zoom out and see the big picture here with an unbiased view

Look at the PC Performance thread which has 33 pages. Now look at this thread which has only 3 pages at the time of my posting. Guess what the majority of people care about? Performance.

Mod edit: Post Reverted

He tried to delete the post so as not to derail but the mods edited it back then banned him for it:

*edit- removing; people seem to be offended. I'd rather remove this post so we can all invest our energy into playing the game instead. Thanks

Also, Welltall Zero is upset about a response it got but the critics aren't having it:

No one gives a fuck if you programmed The Last of Us single handidly on a graphing calculator.

I may not agree with them, but this is frankly uncalled for. I don't know what's up with Era shitting on devs, but it would be nice if any of us posting here got even an ounce of that respect and support you demand from corporations.

in a thread about black people not feeling represented this is a weird ass thing to get hung up over but go nuts

Except the dev in question is also black. I don't even agree with them (see my post above) but I think they should get a modicum of respect, on both accounts.

yes they’re black, and they made a nonsensical point and got called out for it. being black isn’t an excuse to post some goofy shit lol

I know. I was one of the people countering their argument. But it's way more productive to a conversation to point why the argument is wrong, like I did (programmers aren't being pulled away to model black hair), than it is to yell at him to fuck off with his "know-it-all programmer credentials", or whatever it is that caused the other guy to go off.

ok, thanks for tone checking those wild negroes king, cause that’s literally all you’re doing

I have this dude on ignore because they're always posting goofy shit. This is yet another example of why. Imagine this being the bullshit to come to a thread to comment on lmao.

I don't know what's up with Era shitting on devs, but it would be nice if any of us posting here got even an ounce of that respect and support you demand from corporations.

Dude's been banned like 7 or 8 times for hostility yet expects people to respect and support him?

From the very same site that creamed their undies over any DC movie that reviewed poorly in the past, now not liking anyone criticizing a poor review of the new Batman movie

People finding reviews they don’t like and stamping their feet about how wrong the reviewer is will never not be hilarious.

Yep.

How dare this person I have never heard of before have this opinion about a film I have not seen! It's an outrage!

You can tell some of them were giddy to shit on another DC movie and as the movie has turned out great, the thread hasn’t really gone anywhere.

blah blah rwanda blah blah, tell me how this affects ME, AN AMERICAN, because it definitely does

I love their totally scientific reading of that article too.

In the study published in "Epigenomics," they found that the terror of genocide was associated with chemically modifications to the DNA of genocide-exposed women and their offspring. Many of these modifications occurred in genes previously implicated in risk for mental disorders such as PTSD

First of all, how do you measure “the terror of genocide” so you can link it to these chemical modifications? And assuming that, the next line is saying some of those modifications occurred in genes previously implicated in risk for mental disorders such as PTSD. That is a ‘finding’ making quite a few logical jumps there.

The OP’s response?

This sounds like a major discovery and further evidence that a significant trauma can have dire consequences on generations of people after said trauma. I don't even want to imagine what kind of harm and change could be inflicted due to something like slavery.

Evidence?!?!

 

The parent publishing group, Future Medicine, is owned by a predatory publisher but the specific journal it was published in "Epigenomics" is mostly reputable and will preform proper peer review. Since I don't have access to this study I can't say for sure, but the abstract does make quite a big leap in scientific reasoning to specifically associate the genocide with the epigenomic differences that were seen.

Stress has long been known as a factor in epigenetic changes, so it would be shocking if living through a genocide DIDN'T affect some changes but what application those changes would have (if indeed there were any application) is not part of the scope of this paper as far as I can tell.

Thank you for the context, sir! I usually take write-ups like the quoted as a grain of salt to what the actual study is, and stress causing epigenetic changes is actually very interesting. Sort of emergency evolution as a poor comparison.

I just can't stand those tools over there taking some nascent research like this and politicizing it so they can have ammo for their arguments to avoid personal responsibility for their own shortcomings.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Misrepresenting Fellow Member; Inflammatory Accusations

Russian is invading a democratic country and promising to massacre its citizens, and you chose this time to deride NATO and place part of the blame on them?

Yes they can absolutry get the fuck out of Labour. You absolutely *are* supporting Putin tacitly if you are blaming NATO right now. He’s conquering a European nation like it’s the era of colonialism and you’re talking about how the western alliance to defend against Russia doing this is bad? Like on what planet do you think that’s appropriate, helpful or in any way advancing the cause of the left?

I marched with Stop the War in 2001 against Iraq. I’m embarrassed by what they have become and this lunacy. It’s the Socialist Worker party goons all over again.

This is a deeply, viscerally stupid position, given what the leaders of nato have been involved with, and are *still* involved with, just in this century.

Yes, putin is doing a conquering like in the era of colonialism and should be stopped. In the same way the nato leaders are supporting saudi arabia doing the same *right the fuck now*. In the same way they support a coutry doing the same to palestine *right the fuck now*. These are all terrible and must be halted, but curiously only the one where brown people arent being bombed to death, the one IN EUROPE is suddenly a massive cause for concern.

But hey, brown people never matter.

Go ahead, support nato blindly. Make it a hard rule. Its fine as long as it stops european blood from being spilled.

Apparently now it's bannable to suggest that nobody cares about brown people and only cares about Ukraine because it's white. Or maybe you just can't suggest ResetERA.com members also have these views?

As someone who doesn't have blonde hair or blues eyes...I don't see the problem with this.  Of course you're going to react more emotionally to people of your own ethnic group, culture, and identity being killed off.  I would never expect Africans and people of African descent to sympathize more with Cambodian genocide than the Rwandan genocide.   This is just human nature.  He's being honest - "it's very emotional for me".  It strikes him more.    Who gives a shit?  Why is this threatening to you?

That way of thinking is kind of depressing, to be honest.

It'd be nice to beef up the feedback on reports. If I report a guy who was banned over a series of posts he was making in a thread, but he didn't get banned for my specific reported post but for an earlier one. The only way I find out he is banned is if I happen to notice the banned text beside his avatar in an earlier post in the thread which I have to go back and manually check to find out.



I have no clue how the backend for any of this stuff works so if its overcomplicated and an unreasonable request I understand, but it would be really nice if a user you recently reported was mod actioned for any post, it still notified you. There's a decent chance that mod action will be related to the reason you were reporting in the first place right?
