As someone who tried not to care about this dumb trial I am very confused on the wide range of takes here.

My high level understanding was they were both abusive to each other, but people initially believed Heard when she came forward because of the gender difference.

You should watch the trial. Arrive at your own conclusions.

Do keep in mind though that the only people who will tell you *not* to watch the trial are AH supporters.

The "I don't give a shit about this" option of the poll of this thread:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/diablo-immortal-women-in-armored-heels.589842/
Was winning, so some salty mod deleted it.
  :lol :lol :lol

Quote from: Rackham, post: 87550524, member: 673
did mods remove the poll?

Quote from: Skab, post: 87554112, member: 1190
Wait, did a mod really delete the poll because the 2nd option was winning? The fuck?

Quote from: Rackham, post: 87554823, member: 673
That’s kind of how I’m leaning.

Quote from: Morrigan, post: 87558693, member: 27
The 2nd option was insulting, dismissive shit. Polls with such options are not allowed, since they allow people to essentially break the rules anonymously by hiding behind a poll option.

It sure was shitty to see how so many sexist assholes still creep about on Era though. Not that I'm surprised.

It was calling people complaining about sexism "whiners"

People are free to show up here and say it

Quote from: Skab, post: 87563517, member: 1190
Or maybe they just don't agree that it's sexist? See, this is what I don't understand about Era. "Agree with our definitions or be punished, no exceptions."

"High heels are sexist and only made with straight men in mind!" Meanwhile, you have known female Asian streamers playing Lost Ark who mention how cute they think their Gunslinger looks, or how hot their friends character look, and so on. So are they sexist assholes, too? Why is it unacceptable for people with valid opinions to have a different one than yours? Why does your opinion mean more on the subject than other people? What about the people in this thread who have said they don't consider heels to be an issue/sexist?

 It's always this extreme scorched earth approach around here, and I've never understood it. Like, no one is saying sexism is okay here. Were all on the same side. But people should be allowed to have a god damned discourse aabout what they think does or doesn't fall into that category without you calling them a sexist asshole and acting like you're better than anyone who disagrees with you.

And it goes from there  :popcorn

New thread let's see how long it lasts
https://www.resetera.com/threads/johnny-depp-jury-finds-that-amber-heard-defamed-him-in-op-ed.590196/

Quote from: Official Staff Communication
This trial was incredibly public and incredibly emotional for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. For men who have been victims of abuse by women partners, it's a moment where they feel like their trauma was taken seriously and not just laughed off. For women who have been victims of abuse, it's been a moment where they, at times, have had the legitimate worry that bad faith actors have been trying to roll back the hard won victories of the MeToo movement. At the end of the day though, this is about two people who were in a toxic relationship that resulted in abuse. For all the evidence brought forward, while we might guess at the truth, we'll never know for sure what went on behind closed doors.

In that frame of mind, we'll ask anyone posting in this thread to abide by a series of guidelines, which should be simple enough to follow:

1) Anyone being dismissive toward any of the abuse suffered will get banned.

2) Anyone posting GIFs or any random Tweets from Twitter randos will be permanently threadbanned, you will not be allowed back in under any circumstances. If you want to post news, use legitimate sources of information. Don't use your favorite Twitter follow, we don't care how smart you think they are.

3) Anyone going wild and engaging in toxic behavior, as defined by moderation staff, will be threadbanned from discussion in this thread.

There are a lot of different groups with a lot of different concerns as a result of this trial and they all deserve space to be discussed. Don't go trying to shut that down or misrepresent other users or put words in their mouths. If you have an issue with someone's posts in the thread, hit the report button. That's what it's there for.

Jayzeeeus, what a both sidesing, mealy mouth statement.

Morrigan can fuck right off with that kind of behavior.

 :lol

Quote from: Morrigan
lol what is this disingenuous fuckery

I pointed out that the poll option was dismissive and shitty and I was criticizing those who picked it (because it was, you know, dismissive and insulting) as sexist jerks. In the same post where you acknowledge that the poll option might very well have been that, you paint me as someone who attacks "anyone who disagrees with me as sexist", and you now openly insult me too. So much for "promoting good discussion" eh?

You clearly have an axe to grind with me (and the mods apparently), but I should have known you were not in good faith the moment you decided to hide behind "my favourite female streamer likes the heels, what about HER??" nonsense.

Quote from: Skab
You literally just called anyone who voted that option as a sexist jerk. I'm not painting you as anything, you're doing it yourself. Twice now. And I have never said that the poll wasn't poorly worded, but I'm not going to automatically assume that anyone who voted is a sexist and attack them for it.

So yeah, when you come into a thread all angry and call everyone who voted for an option you don't like the wording of sexist assholes, THEN cap it off by acting like Era and everyone on it is secretly a sexist troll, I have zero issues with telling you to fuck off with that nonsense. And if it gets me in trouble then so be it.

Disingenuous fuckery indeed.

It does seem like it is getting increasingly difficult to post opinions here if you show any degree of variance from the status quo. I've seen people get destroyed over questions they asked to educate themselves on things. Hell, I was attacked for mentioning I served in the military.

I've mostly taken a backseat to anything where political dialogue is concerned for fear of being banned.

Its the internet equivalent of "Caution: May Contain Nuts" labels on food for people whose 'allergies' are their own fragile sense of identity and lack of independent critical thought, in that their opinion has come pre-vetted & team-approved so you can just scarf down on the fighting with anyone not of The One True Faith

I don't know it's true it's "faster" and at the end of the day "the news" is just a different kind of mediator than Twitter personalities and I'm sure most people will often follow one or the other, not both, in random subject X or Z. I'm not judging, I'm not the last to get most of my video games and movie consumption second hand. And those internet heads also being invested with the duty of being a moral compass is likewise probably born of the same sort of time efficiency.
I'm not in disagreement with you, the constant drama and updating moral tier ladders at every new sentence is exhausting and wasteful.

Trying look for more info about the situation, and found a kiwi farms thing, the description was fucking disgusting, this was my first time lurking on this site, man, those fuckers need to be some Sex Offender list, it's basically pics of her in bikinis and shit, and mocking her autism and what not, they say we're the lunatics, and they tried comparing us to pedophiles and necrophiles, yet here they are, stalking a 16 y.o.

Morrigan openly admitting that they hide poll results when they don’t like them. Thanks for the clarification of what we already knew. Mods again being spineless to the point they don’t have the stones to come into that thread and say themselves that they removed it, so via discord they ask the lap dog to do it.

It means nothing, your sister doesn't speak for all women.

Lots of women don't like these sexist design tropes. Some of us (men) believe games are for everyone and should pay attention to how they're designing characters.

You can even criticise this crap from a male perspective. For example, one thing that annoys me is when I'm trying to play a game and the game is constantly horny, or expects me to be constantly horny.

It all comes from the same culture.

Always with the “your one case doesn’t speak for all of them” but then turns around and says men know what’s best for them. How about you poll some women and actually get their thoughts? Instead of speaking for these “lots of women”.

Men being like „lol this is a non-issue" in a thread about sexualization that's inherently misogynistic would be almost funny as it's so predictable if it wouldn't be so fucking annoying & useless.

There's a reason why talk about sexualization & misogyny in games is usually kept to the fantastic „Why women criticise sexualized character designs" by Persephone. Because at the end of the day, this forum is still primarily (cishet white) men who historically do not give a flying fuck about misogyny & sexualization. It's honestly a lost cause trying to talk about this outside of a designated community thread into which most of the „lol i don't care" nerds wouldn't ever set a foot in anyway. It's sad, but not surprising.

Anyway, female characters in high heels fucking suck if they're outside of settings where they're actually making sense. Which happens very, very rarely.

No one has the heart to tell this poor bastard that no one sane steps foot in that thread and it’s just the same couple of people vigorously nodding their heads along like puppets.

Honestly the fact that a number of progressive internet voices and media are ready to ignore the reality and the justice in the name of the ideology in almost the same way as the right does (but in a much minor way so far though) is pretty depressing.

the liberal left media right now is acting no better than the right wing conservatives, doubling down on being right for the sake of being right and not acknowledging reality and facts but rather arguing with feelings.
I've said since last week that this trial and the response to it by "progressives" and liberal media has been so discouraging to me. Like it legit fucked me up for a bit seeing the people I looked up to and followed on twitter for so long just blatantly stick their fingers in their ears and ignore facts and evidence. Luckily I'm in a better place now and realize that even some people on the left, who love fact checking the right, are capable of falling into the same trappings of the right. Doesn't make me believe in leftist values any less, I'll just make sure to always stay informed of the facts and don't blindly follow shit because it goes with a hashtag.

this is a complicated case that millions are trying to make black and white with clear heroes and villains. I am fine with some outlets trying to show different angles.
Watch the trial. Both-siding Trumpist.

This trial has shown not to trust everything coming out of left media. They are crooks just like the right. Always take every article coming out from media in general with a pinch of salt.

Every idiot just wants to fulfill narratives than reporting on facts.

When black people get murdered and people start pointing out that the black person was no angel and doesn’t deserve our sympathy….. do you think that’s ok?

Honestly the fact that a number of progressive internet voices and media are ready to ignore the reality and the justice in the name of the ideology in almost the same way as the right does (but in a much minor way so far though) is pretty depressing.

I feel like I'm being gaslighted by a lot of progressive people I used to like and respect and I don't know how to deal with it, it has depressed me a lot in the past weeks and even more since the verdict was reached.
I wanted to make a thread about it but I'm not sure how to frame it and I fear it would get locked.
Like, where do we go from here? Who should I listen to now on progressive issues? All the ones I know have been in support of Heard despite the trial proving time and time again that she lied and the victim was Depp...

the liberal left media or whatever we call it, right now is acting no better than the right wing conservatives, doubling down on being right for the sake of being right and not acknowledging reality and facts but rather arguing with feelings.

Maybe start thinking for yourself and forming your own beliefs instead of needing some blue check marks to do it for you.

Man when I look at this case the Jussie Smollett case where both tried to use social justice movements to benefit their own careers, I see that pretty much everyone turned on Smollett damn near instantaneously including the media that reported on him favorably before the truth started coming out.

Yet with Heard, it was and still is such an agonizingly slow process even when the audio and some of the evidence was made public years ago. And still the media reports favorably on her and "progressives" are standing by her. Despite her being pretty much completely exposed now.

The benefits of being a pretty white woman in America over a gay black man I guess.

So I ask again - What is the standard we want to maintain here regarding posters who call people who think Depp deserved to win misogynists like Jeff Grubb and Arthur Gies. Do we really want to give a platform to these people or threads on them should not be allowed?

Yeah but they were people who helped me a lot to figure things out in the past decade, especially around the years of GamerGate. Like maybe I would have turned into a shithead if I hadn't been paying attention to stuff like Feminist Frequency. Seeing the same people paint me and countless others as misogynists, it sucks.

I find it awful that their relationship was put on full display on television.I don't enjoy the pleasure people get from watching two unstable persons hash out and vomit their relationship on court for the world's entertainment. My wife watched this shit from start to finish and i am happy i was able to zone out the noise when she left it in the playground.


:sicko

also playground slip

that era thread about mike tyson beating the shit outta some rando had crab bucket superstars talking about his history of "allegations" against him, and he went to prison for straight up rape.

I wonder how long is going to last the “progressives are also liars” line of thinking there. RE has short term memory and the mods will start to feel uncomfortable if they keep shitting at Jeff Grubb.

Users like Neoxon and Kyuuji also need to keep the users in perpetual gaslight even in stuff that was proved false or challenged (people there still think ProJared abused his wife when it was just a regular creep).

Goofy thread and petition.

The contrast between "this has been a very serious social matter regarding the recognition of men as victims of abuse, and anyone with a differing opinion is harming society" and "LOL replace Amber TURD with A MAN in a SPEEDO 🤣🤣🤪🤪🙌🙌 or maybe just a plastic DOG POOP with a BLONDE WIG tee hee" is fucking out of this world.

And I say this as someone who thinks the jury handed down a totally appropriate ruling. It's all just fun and games for 99% of people and this board is no exception, despite the pretension of sanctimony.

I saw someone say ACLU was a shithole anyway.
When you're defending the klan out of some free speech purist outlook, you know something has gone wrong somewhere

Anyway, I continue to be genuinely surprised by folks being surprised at how petty and self serving and small minded most so-called progressives are. Like, have ya'll talked to these folks in real life at all? Most are horrifically out of touch with anything that isn't directly a part of their own class experience.
