Come on...clearly you wanted to start a shit on Epic party...by selecting a random week to declare it is...showing signs of death? Because of dudebro edgy concepts like alot of people don't want CSD3 because it's not Soulsborne or single player open world, like everytime this happens on social media gaming circles?

Like...

Try living without hearing a compliment from the other gender except for a couple times in your life, cause that's the reality for most men.

Huuuuh I'm not a Don Juan at all and I got a lot more compliments than that (not bragging, just a statement of something I'd expect to be "normal"). Not to belittle loneliness but that sounds really extreme.

The problem is obviously the whores who can't see what a nice guy he is and then choose to date the bad guys, not the fact that he does nothing to improve the way he looks or speaks to women...

You're literally strawmanning me you absolute moron.

No need to use personal insults

No need to put words in people's mouths either, but that doesn't seem to stop you.

Holy fuck anything to not get banned

So I went back and saw you're all for protecting the names of agents. So we're good on that and I apologize. What would you take issue with being redacted then? I'm trying to understand what's going too far because I don't like the idea not following the rules just because.

We can find out exactly what he's being investigated for while also protecting the agents and the sources. Is it really so much to ask that the American people be made aware what the former president is being investigated for exactly?

Dude, that comes on indictment, bide your time.

Also, slinging insults when you have no fear of being banned is a really bad look.

Are we generalizing anecdotes? Here's mine:

Haven't been wearing masks since they allowed us to take them off here -- like late last year or something? Also go out and to crowded bars/clubs a lot, major international city, etc. Never got COVID since then. Got it once while the mask mandate was still in effect and I was wearing my mask everywhere.

Short of a government mandate, absolutely nothing is getting me to put a mask back on. ERA's unapologetic love for masking sure is .. something.

Why you care if others wear masks, I use them because I think they are cool. Bonus that it helps with my allergies

Incoming 

What an awful fucking post. They've been scientifically proven to help. Legally nobody is able to force you to wear one but acting like OP's story is an equal "anecdote" as yours or that Era's "love for masking" is some baseless madness is... fucking gross.

I still wear my mask everywhere because I have family members that are vulnerable and unable to get a vaccine. Attitudes like yours are no different from the conservatives who made wearing a mask to be a shameful thing in public opinion at the start of this pandemic. This is selfish nonsense, re-evaluate.

I have allergies and I haven’t gotten bad allergies, a cold, or bad flu since COVID started, and I was wearing them even before when I would catch a cold and didn’t want to be gross on everything. I love masks and I think they should be a regular part of our society not just for COVID but for other health reasons. It’s nice not to be cyclically sick.

And what about places that wear masks regularly like Asian countries? Are we going to judge them too?

Theyve been on that bullshit for a long time now. They constantly stick out in threads about masks saying they dont wear a mask anymore. Very recognizable after awhile.

Not judging anything, wear them all you want -- but maybe stop hounding everyone else to wear them, too, just like the OP in this very post.

Sounds like your family members should rock their N95s. What conditions make them unable to get vaccinated? Genuinely curious.

Noted. They literally just said they don't care if they spread COVID to others so... yeah, not worth engaging with. I expect better of people here but if there's anything consistent in life it's that people will be selfish anti-science jerks with zero empathy or care for others.

I was going to post something like this, but you did it better than I could have. Really disappointing to see that attitude here.

I have asthma (even if it is under control), I'm currently living with family over a certain age - I'm not risking getting it at all when I rarely leave the house.

You know what you're doing when you say bullshit like "ERA's unapologetic love for masking sure is .. something" and follow it up with literally saying you do not care if you spread COVID to others. You can hide behind "I'm not doing anything illegal" rhetoric all you want. Your attitude is gross and has directly gotten people killed. I will not be engaging with you further.

Wore my mask the entire time it was deemed required to ensure public health by my local health department. Experts I trust more than the overbearing mask rhetoric popular on ERA. Disengage if you wish, not sure I will agree with your assessment of whatever it is makes you so mad about following the rules, but alas.

Guys, can we not with the TMZ stuff? If Angelina Jolie comes out and makes the accusation herself, because she wants it to be public and to have the conversation, then we can have a thread. But she's not doing that. We're just all here gawking and pointing and gossiping. There is a difference between discussing accusations of abuse and gossiping and this is just gossiping. None of this is about her or what she went through, it's all fishing for clicks and us engaging in gossip. Why don't we be better than that?

It's a fucking great movie but...let's be real, in 2006 Robin Williams voiced two racial caricatures in a movie about penguins. He voices a Mexican penguin (and is given more screen time than the rest of the Mexican penguins voice by actual Hispanic actors) and voices Lovelace, who seems to be going for a Barry White "Sexy Black Man" voice.

Kind of struck me as odd even for 2006. Apparently he was also gonna voice the elephant seals as hillbillies but someone was like "nuh uh that's too many silly voices".

Also goddammit it's kind of sad watching this now. Brittany Murphy, Robin Williams, Prince, and even Steve Irwin are all in it.

I can understand thinking there is no cohesion, but I think people are just not seeing the big picture they are painting here. Now saying that lacks ‘originality’ gets a LMAO from me. The MCU is simply going on uncharted territory right now, nothing in media has tried anything as daunting and massive as this, with so many genres interconnected throughout the stories they are telling.

If there is one criticism that I don’t think it can be leveled against them on Phase 4 is lack of originality and swinging for the fences both where the stories go, themes and even film genres that the films and shows take inspiration from to tell these stories. The MCU never felt not just as big, but also wild and anything goes as it has been since Phase Four started.

I will politely understand the criticisms leveled against both Multiverse of Madness (which I also love but think it’s a great and yet flawed film) and Eternals (which I agree with a lot of the general criticism but am extremely happy that Chloé Zhao is coming back for another stab at it now that most of the setting up what the Eternals are is done). But I don’t understand neither I agree with the criticism and hyperbolic vitriol against Love and Thunder. I don’t think I’ve disagreed this hard with the general consensus of a film positively in my entire life. I think it’s a misunderstood masterpiece, not joking. It’s the best Flash Gordon movie ever made, also the best Thor film and even if no one agreed with me, I am very happy that it exists and hope to see more of Taika’s Thor in the future of the MCU.

I don’t understand that criticism. Also I don’t think it’s true. Eternals is one of my least favorite MCU films. And yet, it’s absolutely gorgeous and has insanely well made CGI. I think the effects and cinematography on both Love and Thunder and Multiverse of Madness is superb, and I love everything about No Way Home.

If anything, the worst CGI in all of the MCU is sadly on one of their best films, and that’s Phase 3’s Black Panther, nothing on Phase 4 had ‘bad CGI’ in my opinion, and I’m including the shows here. Sure, they aren’t as polished as the biggest blockbusters out there, but it still looks as good as the best CGI on any other TV show that I’ve ever seen. She-Hulk‘s pilot felt like an actual short film and both She-Hulk and Hulk never looked better on anything before in the MCU, and that was a TV show, which makes it even more absurd and how far CGI has come since Hulk showed up first time in the MCU back in 2008.

Ignoring it will make it go away. As soon as you start banning for badthink, you just create a new fucking battleground for TEAM BLU and TEAM RED to start all over again.

If someone wants to play Spidersman without pride flags, honestly, who actually fucking cares? What actual harm is it doing to someone?

Even if they're a streamer repeatedly going "LOOK, NO GAY FLAGS IN MY SPIDERSMAN GAMES! TAKE THAT college intellectual CUCKS!" what is the actual real world effect of this? Other sad people also install that mod?

Making a big song and dance about banning, then racing to the gaming press to go "LOOK!

Isn’t the whole thing built on the idea that if a cis male joined any female sport they would beat them automatically. Which is not true at all

I think they want to do the same bullshit the Olympics so where they have gotten worse with testing levels of testosterone in women athletes. And have some “acceptable range” which is ludicrous.

Can we keep this thread for just shit JK did ?

we don't need a "something shitty a transphobic person did" ot, this will only make it harder to find JK stuff when we need and easier to see transphobic content, which is ... something i am avoiding

Even the regulars of this thread have realised what this thread actually is.

Yeah, I get Platy's point entirely but these are all rowling that I've seen so far for me. You can't discuss her TERFing it up without taking into account her influence.

When a member of a hate preacher's flock does something like, eg, stabbing an author, you can't discuss it without mentioning said preacher.

Not only is this literally insane false equivalence, but era can and in fact fucking does "not all _____" when certain group members do something reprehensible and make a point to not hold anyone else from that group even tangentially accountable
(e: obvious exceptions being ACAB and DRUMPF, obviously)

Banning someone for a mod that harms no one… this is why our community is targeted so often. It was a stupid mod that would have been forgotten. But now it has a fucking news article that will spread. It just screams —“LGBT+ community is attacking everyone’s freedom. Grab your guns!”—
We adamantly disagree with banning someone for making this, no matter how much it upsets us. The fact that this is published makes us uncomfortable and will undoubtably cause drama for no reason. Just let us exist. We don’t need help in this way, we are more than capable of standing up for ourselves.

—This is our opinion, we are part of this community and do not believe we need to be protected like this. We believe silly actions like this fan the flames of an issue that doesn’t need to exist and wouldn’t exist if it was treated like any other issue. We believe giving our community rights and letting it go is the best solution and would allow our community to be normalized, which is what we want. We are the same as you.

Fuck you you de-escalating rational piece of shit troll, streisand effect this mutha fucker for more CULTUREWARS

They got very upset with his use of "we" and "us" which is very Anti-System as that guy legit uses "we" instead of "I".

I expected better from Resetera

I can't help but feel the better response would have been for the people who didnt like it to just release their own mod that replaces all the flags with pride flags instead

Yeah, but I bet you that also could have backfired if instead became a huge flame war in between the site community (not that I know if it already is a flame war). This stuff escalated when is two groups of annoying assholes.

Like the OK sing bitching, people over reacted to something but there is actual malice and gaslighting at the other side that made difficult just ignore.

Dunno how Nexus operates and how is the user culture there, so I cannot  say what is the solution to this, specifically since seems it is getting traction.

I don't see how it doesn't escalate things like the era-banned-troll I just requoted was saying; its the same deal with the star wars FINALLY THE EMPIRE ACKNOWLEDGES THE GLASS CEILING! shit I posted above.
Ignoring it will make it go away. As soon as you start banning for badthink, you just create a new fucking battleground for TEAM BLU and TEAM RED to start all over again.

If someone wants to play Spidersman without pride flags, honestly, who actually fucking cares? What actual harm is it doing to someone?

Even if they're a streamer repeatedly going "LOOK, NO GAY FLAGS IN MY SPIDERSMAN GAMES! TAKE THAT college intellectual CUCKS!" what is the actual real world effect of this? Other sad people also install that mod?

Making a big song and dance about banning, then racing to the gaming press to go "LOOK! EVIL HAS BEEN DEFEATED" just amplifies this stupid fucking bullshit and its not 'the nexus community' who are arguing about it anymore, its all the other fucking culture warriors descending in to fight another fucking proxy war on another fucking proxy battlefield and shitting up another fucking part of a hobby most people don't want this stupid fucking bullshit continuously being dragged into.

They have a ban tracker topic where the mods post every ban and you can see it's now fully flooded with culture warriors: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/188-formal-warnings-and-bans/

To me, the message was more like-living in cities is dreadful and soul-destroying (common conservative belief), seeking happiness through dopamine hits from consumption is hollow compared to finding true purpose and meaning (big Jordan Peterson vibes there), and turning to narcotics or pharmaceuticals to medicate your reality that you live in to be tolerable is borne out of character flaw or great personal defect (literally Bronze Age Mindset stuff).

Well produced but came across more like ultra-conservative than explicitly anti-capitalism.

Finding happiness through meaning and not consumption?

Big Jordan Peterson vibes.  Only Jordan Peterson thought of that little chestnut.

any other thread you'll find people decrying consumption as driving climate change, fat rich americans taking more than their share, or being too pacified to take decisive action against chuds

The original creator seems to be anti-mask, so I assume it's just a dumb right winger/conservative who can't recognize systemic issues(capitalism and neoliberalism). Similar to all the centrist that joined the far right prior to Trump.

edit: The more I look into their art, the more I see a recent change of style into more boomer like art similar to the shitty facebook memes boomers post.

FUCKING FAR-RIGHT CENTRISTS

How can a "spectrum" be "totally flipped at birth"?
