Quote from: EntelechyFuff
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.

Totally not someone really mad Depp got justice

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.

There’s not enough spidermen for the Depp verdict. It’s the worst of their critical lack of self awareness on display.

Finally stopped crying on the floor. Still can't believe that queer disabled BIPOC women have to go through this their entire lives. I thought things were going to change now that we defeated Trump and his allies like D*pp. But this just shows that Gamergate is as powerful as ever.

And then to see that ResetERA.com isn't even a safe space for progressives to productively discuss things without being under siege from Gamergate trolls? Like, what even is the point in living anymore? Especially now that we can't have MIMIC's hilarious threads to cheer us up?

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.

Quote from: Cipherr
    Man I hear you on that. I had a similar feeling some time back over a different issue. People that helped keep me from exploring/falling into the whole MRA thing turned out to show their asses later and it really bummed me out.
Why do so many people on that forum think it looks good to say "I'm so weak willed I would believe anything and become a fanatic for a cause I hate but thankfully I watched a YouTube video from the other side and it saved me"?

Quote from: Stop Motion Pornography
When MeToo started, the "I'll wait for the evidence" people would often get dogpiled for being fence-sitters, or both-siders. The mentality was to pick a side and place blame, facts be damned. If you're actually a fan of justice, you would see this trial as a gift, beautiful evidence and facts and arguments splayed out for all to see, to make an actual educated opinion. But in a post-truth society, that's deserving of ridicule and shame.

The future they want for trans people is what the Nazis wanted for the Jews.

Mass concentration camps, executions, and eventually wholesale genocide.
Well, that was the future Nazis wanted for trans people as well. They threw LGBT people in camps and destroyed an institute that was doing research on trans medical care. There is no difference between a transphobe and a nazi.

By "some Supreme Court Justices" that article means two, which it later names, the other seven have shown no interest in revisiting Sullivan. There's a lot of things the Court doesn't agree on, but the one thing most of the Court (except Alito and in some cases Thomas and in this particular case Gorsuch, along with the "liberal" Justices desire to outlaw political speech by non-politicians) agrees on is that a majority won't be rolling back the First Amendment anytime soon. You need four votes to even bring a case to the Supreme Court and if you count the ones in my parenthetical on "either side" you'll notice that you only get three.

If/when these cases get to the Court it will be to strike down lower courts that have decided to limit the First Amendment like the Fifth Circuit has recently done, that will lead to a circuit split the Court will resolve in favor of a strong First Amendment.

The Gawker lawsuit is also a good example of assholes doubling down on a shitty stance because social ideology. They could still keep calling Hogan a racist cunt without pretending that he didn’t have a case. Many of the same assholes complaining about this right now we’re also Gawker minded alumni.

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”.

"Games are for everyone, but they must all conform to my own personal standards!"

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.

Most of that thread is moaning about how its Japanese creators who don't kowtow to western netizens demands, so I guess this posters using Neoxons Jap = White colour code

I feel like people are making kind of a leap here. The reality is that there's no reason at all to go into a thread about someone claiming rape, domestic violence, or sexual harassment and say "I'll wait for more evidence." If you're going to wait for more evidence, just do that. You don't have to loudly proclaim it. The only thing it does is say that the word of the victim and any evidence already supplied isn't enough. It's basically telling survivors that if they don't have a concrete case then they shouldn't come forward. Everyone has the right to stand up and speak their truth, and when they do that what they deserve is support, not blind belief OR callous skepticism. MeToo was always going to face challenges, from without and from within, but it's only "destroyed" when we marginalize the vast majority of men and women who have come forward with honest intent and successfully outed some very dangerous predators, and they wouldn't have been able to do that without support.

So now RE wants to pretend that they're all reasonable about allegations and yet if anyone were to ever post "I don't think person X should lose their job, right now these are just allegations without evidence" they'd get instantly banned.

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...

Incel cannot help herself:

Quote from: Kinthey
   Regarding metoo, I think one poignant argument Depp's lawyer made in the closing remarks was that actually no one said "me too" in regard to Depp. Heard stood alone with her accusations. Meanwhile all the metoo cases that were essentially the foundation of it were cases of multiple women stepping forward, saying that this person did this to them as well.


Quote from: Incelsior
That's uh no.

That's horrific implications

Someone will always be an absuer's first victim.

MeToo isn't MeToo I was also abused by the sams person, it was MeToo I'm also a victim of abuse period

Quote from: Incelsior
It's still an absolutely twisted argument.

Depp isn't innocent because no one else accused him, probably worked really well for the jury though

Totally in Depp side, you guys.

Quote from: StudioTan
I'm finding myself in a tough situation. My girlfriend who repeatedly told me she didn't want to know anything about the trial is now mad at me because I'm happy that Depp won and got justice and she continues to believe that Amber is the one that was abused. Solely based on "I believe women". When I try to tell her all the things Amber was proven to have lied about she gets upset. She basically thinks I'm being anti-women.

She's using the one text message that Johnny sent about want to burn her body as proof that he abused her and ignores everything else including Amber admitting on tape that she abused him.

I'm mostly trying to not talk about it because we literally don't fight about much at all but she'll complain that she can't go on Twitter because of all the people supporting Depp. I don't want to upset her but part of me just wants her to look at the facts and understand that some women are actually liars. I know, I was involved with one that was constantly emotionally abusive towards me.

It's a frustrating situation.
You’re not going to be alone on this, unfortunately this case is going to cause a lot of rifts among progressive couples who otherwise agree on most everything. I don’t have a good answer, as every situation is different, but I feel for you and hope it works out

That's uh no.

That's horrific implications

Someone will always be an absuer's first victim.

MeToo isn't MeToo I was also abused by the sams person, it was MeToo I'm also a victim of abuse period
FACT CHECK: MeToo isn't "MeToo I'm also a victim of abuse period" it's a movement against all things bad:
Quote
The scope has become somewhat broader with this expansion, however, and Burke has more recently referred to it as an international movement for justice for marginalized people.
Someone shouldn't have to suffer literal physical abuse just to be a survivor who is part of the MeToo movement, incelsiorlef. Do better.

I'm also a #MeToo victim.

I'm constantly abused by the absolutely fucking moronic takes on display.

For the record I was staunchly not favorable to Amber, my stance was neither should have a career and I largely conceeded she was likely the more significant abuser in the relationship

Always on the right side of history :ego

It's not a "progressive couple" if one of the people supports Gamergate. That's an abusive situation that the woman is forced into much like any woman forced to play Diablo Immortal while high heels are in the game.

Worse, the ResetERA.com staff aren't enforcing the proper pronouns but instead favoring only some of them leading to threads full of misgendering:

They previously used all pronouns interchangeably, but as of 2022 uses they/them, it, or zir pronouns.

I also use the zir pronoun.

I'd like you to bow down in front of me and call me zir HardcoreRetro.

Failing to do this is trans genocide.

The new guy in charge of Warner-Discovery is very cheap. He'd sooner just not release the movie at all before he reshot the whole thing with a new actor in the role.
Being cheap is not why this won't be reshot
Quote from: incelsiorlef
I mean it's worth remembering that Ezra Miller is hardly Kevin Spacey here or something

This is well we probably should move on from them.

Not a well we need to take a massive moral stand against them and any movie they're in.

I feel like people are making kind of a leap here. The reality is that there's no reason at all to go into a thread about someone claiming rape, domestic violence, or sexual harassment and say "I'll wait for more evidence." If you're going to wait for more evidence, just do that. You don't have to loudly proclaim it. The only thing it does is say that the word of the victim and any evidence already supplied isn't enough. It's basically telling survivors that if they don't have a concrete case then they shouldn't come forward. Everyone has the right to stand up and speak their truth, and when they do that what they deserve is support, not blind belief OR callous skepticism. MeToo was always going to face challenges, from without and from within, but it's only "destroyed" when we marginalize the vast majority of men and women who have come forward with honest intent and successfully outed some very dangerous predators, and they wouldn't have been able to do that without support.

So now RE wants to pretend that they're all reasonable about allegations and yet if anyone were to ever post "I don't think person X should lose their job, right now these are just allegations without evidence" they'd get instantly banned.

and - shockingly - that poster is completely wrong in saying there is 'no reason at all' on an internet message board to state your opinion on a topic on an internet message board because apart from the fact the raison d'etre of being on an internet message board is to discuss things with other people, instead of just posting DAMN, I HATE JOHNNY DEPP for the world to :no1curr on your LiveJournal and circle jerk threads on an internet message board die within minutes when there's nothing to discuss.

But even apart from that banal truism about what an internet message board actually fucking is, era are constantly espousing the moral necessity of telling people who have harmful beliefs to maybe cool their fucking jets, which, you know, "I heard a rumour and its fucking true lets form a mob" falls under. Obviously not on era, but in general.

I'm finding myself in a tough situation. My girlfriend who repeatedly told me she didn't want to know anything about the trial is now mad at me because I'm happy that Depp won and got justice and she continues to believe that Amber is the one that was abused. Solely based on "I believe women". When I try to tell her all the things Amber was proven to have lied about she gets upset. She basically thinks I'm being anti-women.

She's using the one text message that Johnny sent about want to burn her body as proof that he abused her and ignores everything else including Amber admitting on tape that she abused him.

I'm mostly trying to not talk about it because we literally don't fight about much at all but she'll complain that she can't go on Twitter because of all the people supporting Depp. I don't want to upset her but part of me just wants her to look at the facts and understand that some women are actually liars. I know, I was involved with one that was constantly emotionally abusive towards me.

It's a frustrating situation.

If your relationship can't survive a difference of opinion over one single celebrity defamation trial, then maybe you should both just unalive yourselves.

If you don't fight back against the concept that respecting someones pronouns is a matter of courtesy and not a violation of human rights, you lose the bigger ideological war that they must be legistlatively enforced as a hate crime
