lol, she made a video? Doesn't surprise me, she seems 100% ideologically driven.

How can you even misgender self declared "gendertrash"? It's extra funny because the member even used "she" clearly meaning they're not phobic, they just don't know what pronoun Sterling uses this day of the week and hour of the day

Quote from: Drek
The exploitation of this industry isn't limited to using slave labor in China to build consoles.

Capitalist enterprise steals labors of love to not just commercialize but to commercialize with no meaningful compensation requirements to the artists who made them whenever possible. This parasitic dynamic and the fact that consumers only access the content through the gateways constructed by the exploiters is, in my opinion, at the root of the toxic culture present and clearly growing within mainstream media fandoms.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/bloomberg-a-tense-pay-dispute-overshadows-nintendo’s-upcoming-bayonetta-3.644811/page-11
Hey, how do labors of love do in the proposed alternative where the state establishes a single monopoly in all industries, outlaws any deviations and deliberately engages in slave labor?

Quote from: Slayven
It was better than what he did, I am not even saying that to hate. Watchman was so surface level edge. Like Dark Knight returns
Dude, nobody had done these before. Their limitations are only retrospective because they came first and everything has been internalized into everything else for decades. I don't worship TDKR (Year One is blatantly Miller's clearly definitive Batman work) but you can't compare it to the hundreds of other instances or any others that did it better (including maybe Miller himself) because nobody did it until he did. Nobody tried to dig into heroes as potentially broken people in a near-realistic world until Watchmen. You're establishing impossible standards and then criticizing leading works for failing to meet standards they never attempted to. People don't tell people getting into comics to read Watchmen and TDKR because they necessarily love them but because they changed the entire medium and could show someone who has notions about what comic books are what their potential can be. All modern Batman work is informed by TDKR (and arguably even more so, Year One) so it makes sense to point to it directly.

Quote from: krazen
One of my daydreams is if I ever became billionaire wealthy literally set up black gun stores and make a big fucking deal about the openings in places with a long history of systemic oppression…like go to Jackson Mississippi and have like Malcolm X posters all on the wall and talk with reverse dogwhistles “Sometimes the law isn’t around, and sometimes the law the problem” and effectively help save America from itself once it goes viral and helps push reform.
Hey man, how that'd go for the guys who tried it before in ways beyond putting up posters of the guys who tried it before?

Also, this dude thinks there aren't Black owned gun stores?

I love how ResetERA.com is a forum full of people obsessed with things that aren't real and their central theory that things that aren't real are more important than reality. The MCU, video games, race, gender, optics, etc. Then they spend all their time as if they're determined to prove they don't even grasp these things conceptually.

This is around where I'm at. People taking her side, at least tentatively, wasn't the problem. Every single person in the previous thread was operating on incomplete information and could only make the best choices they could using the information they had.

It's turning into a sports game where you're trying to get your side to win over the other rather than what it is; us hearing about a labour dispute that we're not actually privy to the details to.

Two things:

-Taking a side by basis of incomplete information is not desirable most of the time. People should be wary of giving a definitive sounding opinion of topics that don’t fully comprehend.

- You are one of the assholes that made the forum a ideological sports game battlefield and goes ballistic for shit.

This will sound flippant, but I mean it: if we start to police this, there won't be a forum left to use. The original thread on this was embarrassing and it was spurred on by a massive amount of users who rabidly entrenched into their position from the jump and just eschewed any sort of critical thinking. I think the fact is that this sort of dogpiling, reactionary zombie outrage isn't contrary to the culture of the forum...it IS the culture of the forum. It's not going to go away, mod-enforcement or not.

But the community (GafEra as whole) was not as horrible a decade ago. Yeah, you are not going to completely eradicate dog piling, hot takes and tribalism… but mod teams of both oldGaf and RE have actually been encouraged this shit (until it became unsustainable). The mod team is both laughable incompetent while being duplicitous in their handling of the forum culture.

:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Generalization and Thread Creation; Prior Bans for Inflammatory Behavior
Quote from:  Baphomet
I was having a conversation with a friend earlier and he started talking about he didn’t like how he liked and how much weight he’s put on these past years. I told him to just stop eating out everyday, replace sodas with more water intake and exercise for at least more than 14 mins and you will lose weight. He then made an excuse about how that wouldn’t help at all and that losing weight is a lot more complicated than that…

I dislike people who try to justify being lazy and not putting an effort to improve their health/self image. I was guilty of this year until last month when I really took it seriously and started eating better and have a consistent exercise schedule , losing weight is really easy , it’s finding the willpower to keep doing your schedule that most people can’t do.

So this show is trending as #1 above Dahmer this week (which is also problematic as hell, but that's a separate discussion), but I wonder what the hell the writers were thinking with a subplot of The Watcher. It's a story loosely based around real-life events of a family who had to deal with somebody stalking their house, so they took some elements of that and made it into a show. Included in the creative liberties are the introduction of a 19-year-old dude who installs a security system in the house that wasn't present in the real-life events. He meets the family's 16-year-old daughter who upon their very first introduction says to him, "I'm jailbait, creep". Their ages are very well known to one another and the show decides to make it a storyline of the two of them sexting and hooking up and keeping it a secret from the dad. At one point the dude is like, "but you're 16 and I'm 19" and she says something to the effect of that's what makes the risk so much fun. 🤢

You could have had the same over-protective dad and a secret relationship with two characters of the same age, but NO, we gotta sit here and watch a 16-year-old literally hide a 19-year-old in her closet and use it to paint the father in a light that makes him look overbearing and controlling. They could have had the same exact effect with two 16-year-old characters or by making the characters 18 and 19 or something but nope. Let's make them 16 and 19. It's even more skin-crawling later in the show when the dad confronts a police officer about it and the cop is like, "yeah, well, the age of consent in New Jersey is 16 ..."

Like what the fuck are these writers going for here? Can we not normalize this?

I didn’t know everything in fiction needs to be a morality tale of some sort.

It's unlikely that the full story will get as much traction or as many eyeballs as the original Twitter videos, which (imo) raises some interesting questions about pleas to emotion and how information is disseminated in the social media age

Oh! In Your Opinion, there's now interesting questions about social media and pleas to emotion you duplicitous piece of shit?

EDIT: Be Kind, don't know how to embed a tweet

Delete everything from the "?" in the url (included).

Speaking of pleas to emotions on social media.

A lot has been written about learning not to jump to conclusions. I have learned my lesson. I fell for Taylor's emotional plea and believed her, despite the red flags that were there.

What I haven't really seen addressed so far was the embarrassing Twitter witch hunt that happened in the original thread. The topic was a dispute between a worker and a corporate entity on a professional level, but people dragged unrelated things into it to start a pissing contest. People dug through Kamiya's, Taylor's and Hale's Twitter profiles, desperately trying to find some dirt on them, any problematic comment or like that they could use to start a mob and accuse other users who didn't support "the good side" of being problematic or whatever. None of that had relevance to the actual topic, which was whether Taylor's allegations against Platinum Games were true.

Whatever Kamiya, Taylor or Hale wrote or liked about foreigners, trans rights or autism has no relevance to what they did or didn't do in a professional capacity. There was a new twist on almost every page, the good guy became the bad guy and vice versa. And with this came disingenuous insinuations and accusations about other users. If you were skeptical of Taylor's claims, you were a sexist or a corporate bootlicker. A few screenshots later, the tables turned. If you believed Taylor, you endorsed harassment or were a transphobe. How Hale's autism comments played into this I have no idea, I stopped reading when that was brought up. Anyone who partook in that circus had no interest in the actual topic. They just wanted a pissing contest and showed that they have the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old who can't even grasp the most basic levels of nuance. That was the most pathetic aspect of the "discussion" in the other thread.

Post an example of this, I jumped in the thread near the end and that seems like a gross interpretation of what happened.

People were completely dismissing her bigotry by calling it "political beliefs" or saying that she was just a religious woman. That's what I and many others were taking umbrage with. One of the banned users called us corporate bootlickers because we didn't fuck with a person who thinks a kiwi farm user and vocal anti-trans figure was someone to follow. I don't particularly take kindly to you saying that people caring about a human rights issue have the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old.

Vonocourt really making a name for herself as of late. It must be a great rush of power for people on RE when you can report anyone you dislike and watch them get banned.

Also I love that the big lesson from all of this is to not jump to conclusions, except the conclusion that Taylor is a TERF, that's proven beyond a doubt because she follows someone on twitter

There's really no lesson here and there's no strong conclusion to draw, even though taking sides is an absolute invariable moral act for Resetera.   First off, she lied and because of that, she'll be blacklisted, but there's no strong takeaway other than 'don't lie'.  The crux of the argument was about labor and pay in the games' industry -- everyone already knows lying is bad.  So, beyond the lying, she's right: This series does make half a billion dollars.  And the truth is, she is getting paid a pittance for the amount of money these games make.  It is not crazy for a person like her to say to herself, "Hmm, Hollywood movies make as much as this game, and those actors make millions per film.  All I'm asking for is 6 figures to play the main character."  She was simply mistaken -- those film actors are more irreplaceable than she is, and they play a large part in driving sales.  Nobody really cares that she's the voice of Bayonetta.   Platinum realizes that, and pays the voice actors what they're worth.   The moral argument went out the window when she started lying, but she isn't wrong or crazy to think to herself that she was entitled to more.  After all, indie game companies pay streamers more than the $20k she was offered to play their games for a day or two.  She threw her career away to bulwark a reasonable belief.

My neighbors on one side are always shooting guns. I've heard them randomly start shooting at 10:00pm before. Every New Year's Eve, they start shooting as soon as it hits midnight. Back in the 90s when they were younger, they used to kill our dogs all the time. We couldn't keep a dog more than a year or two. I've heard second hand from other people that they used to brag about killing them. Also, they have something burning almost every day and we're down wind of them.

I have a cousin in the woods behind our house who is a worthless methhead. He has cut the gas lines from two of our vehicles and stolen the gas, broken the window out of one of our work vehicles to steal stuff out of, and now he's started stealing stuff out of mailboxes. He steals anything that's not tied down so he can go buy pills and meth. A few years ago, an ambulance and police cars were in our driveway. He and his girlfriend got stoned and she supposedly shot herself in the head. The local police and TBI investigated it. They believe that he killed her, but there wasn't enough evidence to prove it.

I don't really have anywhere to go and couldn't afford it if I could. I just have to suck it up and wait. I could handle the shooting. What really gets me is that cousin of mine trying to cause as much trouble for everyone as he can. They caught him and his new girlfriend at Wal-Mart a few months ago, even though they were banned. He had a baggy of meth that he ate when they were putting him in the police car. They ended up dropping the possession charges and just got him on criminal trespassing. He did 30 days in jail on the weekends.

That are some stupid parents… they should have cancelled the mural with the argument that is tone deaf promoting the hijab when girls from Iran are getting killed by the regime.

:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Generalization and Thread Creation; Prior Bans for Inflammatory Behavior
Quote from:  Baphomet
I was having a conversation with a friend earlier and he started talking about he didn’t like how he liked and how much weight he’s put on these past years. I told him to just stop eating out everyday, replace sodas with more water intake and exercise for at least more than 14 mins and you will lose weight. He then made an excuse about how that wouldn’t help at all and that losing weight is a lot more complicated than that…

I dislike people who try to justify being lazy and not putting an effort to improve their health/self image. I was guilty of this year until last month when I really took it seriously and started eating better and have a consistent exercise schedule , losing weight is really easy , it’s finding the willpower to keep doing your schedule that most people can’t do.

All these lazy fat cunts having a sook, glorious.
