Why did some posts from this thread magically get memoryholed

I had a top of page earlier...

I always just assume it was something filler posted.

Of course, this was anti-Black of bork as now my top of the page bald black women post is no longer top of the page.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Chris said something horrible off script.

Will made a mistake in his response.

Jada didn't deserve that.

Will resigned from the white people awards.

Not really sure why people are still going in circles about this. You don't have to choose a side on everything guys.

Maybe stop with the wildly disingenuous revisionism that borders on gaslighting then?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I just wanted to highlight this line because this is now no longer true. Jada isn't being lost in the conversation, she's now taking criticism equal to that being levied at her husband.

This weekend alone...

Tony Rock, Chris Rock's younger brother, called Jada a "bitch" during one of his stand-up shows.

Bill Maher said on his show this weekend, "She should just wear a damn wig if it bothers her so much."

And Michael Che's goofy ass went after her on SNL. "Can we stop pretending like we knew she had alopecia!?"

Keep in mind, so far Jada has said NOTHING. She is guilty of SITTING IN A SEAT AT THE OSCARS.

because someone got in their feelings and reported some bore posts I reposted here 


it's completely fine when the piss babies are dishing out insults and calling for me to be locked away in a mental ward. let me poke fun at them back and they smash the report button 

But it's okay for you to report posts, right? Next time you do that, I'm going to go ahead and make sure everybody knows that it was you who did it.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

for the record it was me

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The thing is you don't have to speculate.

Will Smith not only addressed the issue head on in his tear-soaked acceptance speech at the same awards show, talking about how he's been taking a constant barrage of criticism against himself and his family for years; but he then also addressed it the next day on his social in a direct apology to Chris Rock.

At this point, the continued desire to speculate about what the REAL issue is, rather than what Will Smith has directly commented on, feels like people searching for a reason to just view Will as inherently violent and undeserving of sympathy.

Is posting an instagram story actually a 'direct apology'?
Because from all accounts he hasn't said shit directly to Chris Rock, let alone an actual apology; what he has issued are a number of public statements that incorporate apologetic rhetoric, but for a site that is usually fucking ruthless on apologies having to be in a specific format before they 'count', era sure are giving big willy style an enormous benefit of the doubt here

"@jk_rowling HEY JOANNE YOU TERF BITCH DIE DIE DIE"
"Look at the weirdos who send me hate."
"LIKE OMG WHY IS SHE SO OBSESSED WITH AND HARASSING US TOTES EMBARASSING GET A LIFE JOANNE"

thats almost literally this, but unironically

The most infuriating thing about Rowling is her flagrantly selective view on reality. She is the pure distilled embodiment of confirmation bias and applies it to absolutely every manner of engagement she takes. She pulls out complete hacks who make the arguments she wants to push, completely ignores the wave of people who can clearly discredit their work. She darts in on any negative commentary in her mentions to paint trans folks as bullies and again pays zero mind at all to the nonstop waves of harassers she throws at us calling for genocide. She'll even pull her examples within the replies of well-thought critique, or replies to anti-trans harassers, just ignoring that chain to only pull up the takes she wants to magnify.

Rowling just absolutely will not engage in any sincere manner in this discourse that she quite clearly wants to embed her life into and it's fucked up.

also spiderman at the bolded

also, also let's watch the usual denial cycle;

• nobody even harasses her
• ok, some people might harrass her, but also people harrass us too
• she rich tho

This said without irony on a forum which decided that all trans people didn't have an unfair sporting advantage based on one poor quality study using very little evidence and only drawing conclusions about a very select group of people...

I hope you're not implying that Smith should apologise to Rock face-to-face.

Especially considering the huge power imbalance of Chris Rock being a white comedian and Smith an underprivileged black man who is genetically predispositioned to not be able to control his emotions and innate violent tendancies...

The REAL issue being that Will Smith was wrong to engage in violence, as he admits, and everyone should agree that this was not justified and should not be defended? Or is this stance still "anti-Black" and "misogynoir" because Jada is a disabled Black woman under relentless assault from an incel stalker making the REAL issue be that someone dared to stand up for and defend a Black woman in public as you, a janny of color, attested earlier?

[benjipwns]

I am scared of a future where we have so many games and no one sticks out. They are all made from the same template. I’m savages that XBOX is going to push out Game Pass games like they were Netflix movies. I feel like Halo showed this really well.

If I were to draw a parallel to movies again I feel like Game Pass is Netflix/streaming movies while Sony and Nintendo is “Cinema movies”(not that they are all good or whatever).

I’ve no complaints with various categories on the spectrum, but I’ve never understood the flag thing. Isn’t the point of the rainbow flag that it’s all encompassing. There’s the implicit understanding it includes colors between and beyond what’s literally present.

Wake up, people. It’s all a scheme by Big Flag!

Will Smith has made jokes in the past directed at people with medical conditions. Chris Rock did not specifically target Jada's condition, but instead made a joke that involved it. What Chris Rock did is not out of the ordinary for what comedians do, but even so he has acted with modesty and as a professional throughout the whole ordeal. My respect for him has gone up through this, meanwhile what Will Smith did still shocks me.

Royalan

Modesty?

Modesty would include an apology to Jada since now he knows his joke hurt her.

Modesty would include censuring his brother who called her a bitch at one of his public shows this weekend, since we're now holding people responsible for their families.

Chris Rock does not know modesty.

User Banned (1 Month): Ignoring Staff Post

People here have obviously never been bullied. Enough people didn't "buy it" either when I told them, and only my behavior was questioned as others tried to dictate what reality was for me. Getting very familiar vibes here.

Anyways, getting closer to back on topic, not even the "questlove and four white guys" quip was correct in number of producers, or in their racial makeup. Joseph Patel is still upset his ethnic background was set aside for the sake of "comedy."

https://ew.com/awards/oscars/summer-of-soul-south-asian-producer-angry-chris-rock/

The academy just needs to take the L when it comes to this appearance of Rock as presenter. And if they want to uphold the importance of the academy and the awards it bestows, then be resolute in setting forth that Oscar invitees and their guests are not playthings for the hosts' and presenters' amusement.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/hopefully-the-final-thread-i%E2%80%99ll-create-regarding-the-inheritance-i-was-supposed-to-get.569272/

So some of you may have remembered the 2 threads I made in…. around late February, I believe? Regarding my discovery of me having 200k inheritance that I was supposed to get 8 years ago, but my mom forged my signature and submitted documents and somehow cashed the check.

I discovered this because, for the longest time, I felt like I was in a household where my mom constantly acted like she was short on money, but wasn’t. We live in a decent townhouse, she’s gotten a boob job, she’s always leasing new cars, she’s always shopping, etc. and yet, I’ve been working minimum wage jobs for years. In addition, she’d do things like, when I was 19 y.o., I was taking 16 units at school while working 2 jobs with no car. I was leaving the house to get a haircut and when I informed my mom that I was going for a haircut, she said “you’re supposed to be using that money to help ME.” Which was ridiculous.

So I went digging into one of the file cabinets one day and unexpectedly found out that I was supposed to inherit 200k. After contacting the life insurance company they confirmed that the check had been cashed. Also, at least from life insurance, my mom had collected around 850k.

Some Cliff’s Notes:

1. I confronted my mom about it via text when I wasn’t home and she kind of short-circuited and called me numerous times, saying “don’t come home” “don’t come home” “stop investigating. Focus on your studies and your future.” Etc. Keep in mind that I’ve still been living with her… but we haven’t been talking and it’s very awkward/uncomfortable, obviously.

2. Ever since my father passed away, she has, in a way, “parentified” my brother (though he was already a legal adult by then), and relies on him whenever possible. So she got him involved.

3. My brother and I had a back and forth for like 3 weeks, where we talked about our history and the way our mom is and etc. He was on my side. I spent hours and hours making budgeting plans and showing him.

4. On one particular day while I was still talking to my brother about it, my mom went into my room and started crying and saying “it was for the family” etc. I told her that, at this point, I have detached myself from her and that I also don’t trust her.

5. My mom, my brother, and I, sat down to “discuss” things. But it was basically just my mom talking about how she has used the money to provide for the family, and that she currently has 400k left.

She offered for me to get 20k initially, and then to get 2.5k per month.

I had a problem with this because:
I. She’s had to pay my aunt back for years. And my aunt told me that she gave one check of $5000 and then gave her $500 per month for 2 years and then just stopped. I don’t want that to be me.
II. I’ll be having a lot of initial expenses when moving out. What reason is there for it being so low?

My mom and brother argued that, if I were to take all the money I’m technically owed, my mom might risk becoming “homeless” because she also has to do things like “pay her taxes”(?). Which just seemed insane to me. Even if she gave me a lump sum she would have 200k left over. What kind of expenses does she have that would make her “homeless”?


And sorry, I do tend to write in a “stream of consciousness” style, so I’ll also vomit out some details before I forget:

1. My mom has been doing pretty well for herself. Last year she made six figures. So, again… how would she be homeless if I were to take all the money I had?

2. After our meeting, my brother and I continued having a back and forth via text, where he was basically suddenly giving me attitude. I asked him where the sudden attitude is coming from, and he basically said that mom would “make his life hell.” I’m assuming because she would act broke and then pester him for money or something? Not only is this not true, but it’s not my fault that you can’t establish boundaries with her.


My brother ended up saying that I should accept “120k.” And that it shouldn’t be a lump sum. This was like 2 weeks ago.

I HATE my mom but I don’t want her life to be “ruined” and I don’t want her to ruin my brother’s life, either.

I’m willing to accept less than what I’m technically owed, but to cut it by 40% along with not getting a lump sum is ridiculous. I’d be okay with 150k. But what if my brother claims that that’s still “too much”?


I just don’t know what to do. I want my money and I want to move out but I can’t decide on a number.

And it pisses me off that my brother doesn’t ask my mom things like: can I see your account? I mean, what if she has more than 400k in there?

While we were arguing he was basically saying things like “despite what you may feel about her she did a good job giving us a roof over our head” which I just don’t agree with. I’m supposed to applaud her for doing the bare minimum? I just feel like my mom kind of has my brother a little bit by the balls, because, for whatever reason, he feels obligated to keep her in his life.


Also please don’t tell me “ummmm you shouldn’t post this here.” I’ll request deletion if I feel like it.

Thank you!

Lastly: I know this is probably very confusing, so feel free to ask questions for clarification if need be.

So many smug-ass members who dismissed all criticism of that toilet of a community as being from bitter alt-righters and thought they were part of the protected "in-group" with the mods.. Then, when the mods do what everyone outside looking in expects them to do, these same members all act shocked and angry and then quit the community all together.

Some even go on Twitter to yell into the ether and repeat the same criticisms they all said were from alt-righters without a hint of irony or self-reflection.

Whereas I took the high road, shitposting on the bore and calling ol boy roy a fatty fat fat.

Pathetic word salad in the Community Thread from Coyote Starrk trying get that sweet mod protection:

Gonna get some brown on my nose here for this, but I think it needs to be said and I truly do mean this. The staff in the last month or so has surprised me with how well the have handled some wildly varying situations one right after another despite the various events literally spanning the globe and the social spectrum. They have encountered a wide variety of hype, disgust, drama, and just general disarray. First off let me preempt this statement by saying that I am by no means comparing these situations to one another by their importance or anything like that. I am also not trying to downplay any topic that I don't mention here. I am just mentioning the big situations that I myself have noticed in my very limited travels on here. I only mean this as a compliment to how the Era staff have been able to handle it all in a relatively short period of time. They have walked and chewed bubblegum while also doing mental calculus while doing a jumping puzzle at the same time as far as I am concerned.


In the last month or so we have seen the rise of Elden Ring as THE talking point of the gaming side which promptly flooded the section with drama, hype, questions, debates, and technical breakdowns. Despite the flood of threads the staff have handled these with poise and a readiness to let people reasonably engage despite the emotions and the hype surrounding it. Including the discussions of an "easy mode" which I know has been a hot button topic for the community for awhile now.


Then we have the whole Will Smith thing and I am not going to get too far into that, but I will say that I support the measures that the staff took by shutting things down rather than just letting them devolve further into hostility and anger. And that is all I will say there. I don't want Nepenthe to dropkick me with facts that need to be said and a well put together post to go along with it. I saw that Staff Post in all those threads. I don't want any of that heat. No thank you lol


Then we get to the truly serious stuff. The massacres in Ukraine. I was afraid that the news of the genocides would be directed to the usual Ukraine thread, but the staff allowed the "new news new thread" mantra to continue and we saw a new set of eyes on the atrocities that have been committed in Ukraine. The people who might not follow the usual thread daily got to see what is really happening there and I feel like that is important for this community. We pride ourselves on shining lights onto important and sensitive issues and I can think of few issues more important than actual real time genocide. Mass graves, rapes, executions, etc etc. These are things you do not normally see talked about in places like this but the staff managed the flow of such disturbing information with an intelligence and a fervor that I wish the rest of social media would facilitate. These horrors need to be seen. They need to be spread far and wide. By allowing a separate thread for the massacre in Bucha and surrounding areas the staff allowed a new set of eyes on the situation and I feel like they need to be thanked for that.



Royalan Nepenthe Hecht B-Dubs and all of the other staff I might have missed who have put time and energy into the topics I mentioned both on the forum and off of it in the staff discussions I appreciate what you have managed to balance here in this past month or so. You all have shown me that you guys not only handle the petty and the dramatic well, but also the emotional and the important all at once when needed. It may not be perfect, but nothing ever is. You guys have done your best with this stuff and I feel like it has turned out for the better of the community as a whole. It may not make everyone happy, but it keeps things moving. No matter the other complaints people I have I feel like even the hardest critics have to at least acknowledge that much.

None of this is real. It's all bullshit invented by a loon desperate for attention.
