lol what a cunt, "i'm going to twist this foreign guys translated words into something that upsets my insane US centric ideals "

I'm still mildly irked by this, this guy is going to drive himself insane if he treats benign statements from video game directors as Q drops that need to be decoded.

He's really terrified that Sakurai might take criticism like this not seriously

So he's basically a woke version of a Q guy thinking Joe Biden rambling on about iced cream is him really talking in code about his child sex habits or some shit

I'd forgot he had a specific hate boner for Sakurai.

User Banned (1 Month): Racism over a series of posts

The Taliban were in an increasingly disadvantageous position prior to the US' invasion of Afghanistan and in large part regained a LOT of their footing due to US involvement and actions in the Middle East in the following years. Yes, the US allied with the Northern Alliance in 2001 and directly led to the immediate ousting of the Taliban then, but the US involvement in the region created a lot of space for them to return and specifically to be seen as freedom fighters from an imperialist nation within the country. We can't obviously know for sure what would have happened without that invasion, but the invasion did create a time bomb that was all but guaranteed to go off upon any sort of US exit from Afghanistan since they were propping up the government almost entirely and failing at the whole nation building ideas that the US pushed forward as their goal.

The invasion did give those women the chance to get an education, but it also might have ultimately doomed Afghanistan to return to Taliban control when it's possible a different time table might have seen the Taliban lose control from within. And in that regard the violence committed by the US government in their invasion of Afghanistan did not really achieve meaningful change beyond the short term illusion of it that the US propped up and could maintain with military might. The broader War on Terror only further created massive resentment throughout much of the Middle East towards the US and allowed so many Islamic Extremist groups to gain the types of footing they did.

Ok, those are all valid points, but for a different discussion. This thread is specifically about access to education for women in Afghanistan. At what point do you think, in this theoretical natural Taliban loss of power would guaranteed education for girls have happened? I would say it would never have happened. A free and fair society wasn’t going to replace the Taliban with or without US intervention.

i don’t know how important something like that is to normal everyday Afghans before the US invaded, but without some outside influence who actually values education of women, those ideals aren’t going to be instilled or the Taliban would just be doing it themselves.

If Sakurai means in terms of bigots attacking women, minorities, & LGBTQIA+ folks, he'd be correct. But "attacking *each other*" could be interpreted as "both sides" BS depending on the context.

You literally prove his point here

That still goes back to the relative lack of women & objective lack of minorities.

[Boredfrom]

Afghanistan has been continuously fucked and pillaged for the past 40 years nonstop, with the last 20 years of American occupation being a complete and utter waste. All those American soldiers died for absolutely nothing other than Dick Cheney's war boner.

Sure, we made it better for women for a while, but at the same time strengthening Taliban forces by our countless warcrimes over there and brazen corruption. Taliban are awful, but give me a reason why they should trust America or the "rational" western negotiation, when America two-faced them endlessly, and shivved them in Doha talks? Why should anyone trust a thief who steals your money, or a warmongering dipshit who destroyed your lands, or a murderer that drone striked your children? America is clearly the one to not be trusted here.

I wish Taliban government would simply die but the problem is that we made the conditions for them to thrive. 20 years of billions of dollars and we couldn't defeat simple farmers with broken kalashnikovs. It's because we were not interested in nation building at all, but making sure weapons manufacturers and contractors were being greased with taxpayer money.

Two contradictory ideas:

1) Fuck the Taliban.
2) Why should the Taliban trust the US when the US fucked Afghanistan (not like they are doing now).

Rusty seems to still not able to accept that the Taliban has no interest in making Afghanistan better regardless of western pressure or the lack of it.

Plus I like how our expert thinks Afghanistan just started being fucked and pillaged in the 1980's.

I looked again because I was thinking he was somehow implying that the Taliban's current behavior was the result of recent American actions even though the US has always had an antagonistic relationship with the Taliban, especially after they hosted Osama. And while he did that, completely ignoring the history, I noticed something even worse:

Taliban are awful, but give me a reason why they should trust America or the "rational" western negotiation, when America two-faced them endlessly, and shivved them in Doha talks? Why should anyone trust a thief who steals your money, or a warmongering dipshit who destroyed your lands, or a murderer that drone striked your children? America is clearly the one to not be trusted here.

It's not the Taliban's money, lands or children. He's granting them ownership over everything in the entire country because they once before and currently control a majority of the territory within it and even though it's generally been their control of Kabul that gets them recognized as the ruling government by the rest of the world.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory commentary regarding prison rape

[benjipwns]

Taliban thread has a lot of hilarious fanfic in it where everyone seems determined mostly to prove how much they hate America and how little they know about Afghanistan.

They don't even get the part about how the Taliban's control had severely eroded after 1998 right. Yeah, the US allies had accomplished a lot but only the US was able to knock the Taliban out of power immediately in October 2001 because none of the Afghani allies had air power or a global logistics network. They're doing the same thing they usually do with Iraq, downplay the United States basically erasing a ruling state in a few weeks because the United States subsequently made only the stupidest choices possible in trying to form a replacement state.

While I have no reason to support foolish "nation building" exercises or even support punitive violence against other states in response to their increasingly poor actions it's complete nonsense to be totally irrational about the US's actual capabilities against opposing states especially laughably weak ones.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/christmas-disappointment-relationship-gift-giving.669109/

Me and my wife have been together for 16 years. We have beautiful lady who just turned 16 and we went on family vacation and came back home on Christmas Day.

I consider myself to be a pretty thought guy, so I got my kiddo a new set of air pods after her baby cousin lost her and her back set stopped working mid vacation, gave them to her on Christmas morning and everything. She was ecstatic!

Christmas success one down!

We traveled all Christmas to get back home, it was 7pm-ish by the time we made it home, but it was still Christmas and a few packages I ordered had arrived, so I give them to the wife and she was genuinely surprised. She’s an avid coffee drinker and often does coffee dates with her friends on phone with FaceTime and what not, so where she sit at the table I got her a coffee pour over, hand held frother and milk frothing cup, along with a electric gooseneck kettle that arrives on Friday.

She loves it right. Total win!

Then I go, ok where’s my present? To the both of them? I was half joking and half not cause I already knew they had got me nothing.

But man, let me y’all. This is wearing on me. It’s year after year. I even mad mention several times to the wife, before we even left on

“man, you know what I could use for Christmas, some new socks and underwear”

“I really miss my aunt, she would alway buys me socks as kid and I hated that. Now that older, wish she was around to buy me some socks for Christmas….”

Ya know, subtle hints. Nothing that will break the bank cause I often have to buy what I really want myself, be it my birthday, Father’s Day, or whatever.

But when it’s Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, her birthday, Jesus Birthday I’m expected to go all out.

I just don’t feel appreciated and it sucks…

Might as well post it here since this thread covers the interview anyway. Depending on what Sakurai means by "attack", this translation has me very concerned. If Sakurai means in terms of bigots attacking women, minorities, & LGBTQIA+ folks, he'd be correct. But "attacking *each other*" could be interpreted as "both sides" BS depending on the context.

I love how the self-appointed, unemployed "diversity analyst" implies that if they don't recast, he will "do something about it".

Honestly, its too early to say and its unfair on the guy, but I side-eyed Henry Cavill when the WH40K was signed.
I wish it was just cool nerd painting toy soldiers but it has a baggage that gives me pause.

Liking thing that uses evil thing as an influence absolutely makes you that evil thing

Edit: ANNNDDDD LOCKED  congrats on proving the OP’s point, B Dumbs. “There are no issues here. Silence, independent thought thinker”

 

dubs was just bemoaning the state of gaming side the other day

he wrote a giant post calling it out and saying we need to do better

And was the user doing better or was he making the problem worse by calling attention to it and inviting reaction and relitigating issues rather than simply obeying directives of the staff as good faith users do?

You see, Bdumbs was making those statements in another thread which derailed the discussion. This guy, who was deservedly banned, decided to make a dedicated thread so as not to derail the discussion in an otherwise irrelevant thread. That's where he went wrong and should be executed and killed in the digital and physical realm.

Thread wasn't derailed, it was locked for the lack of productive discussion.

User Banned (1 Month): Misogyny, sexist slur, implying women owe their partner sex.

Are you also having sex? If she's not intimate and not buying you gifts, it's plausible she may have found new dick

lol, I bet most were thinking this. Either that or she is a cold-hearted b***h

A bit hard to have productive discussion in a locked thread. But that's Reeeeesetera for you

User Banned (1 week): cross-thread drama and inflammatory accusations, prior bans for platform warring

Agree with you. That acquisition OT for example became a source of console wars, even misogyny lately and I saw no actions being taken. Do wonder if the fact that ResetEra got sold is why the moderation has become much less firm with these kind of users. Wasn't like this when this forum started.

Ignore things that you don't want to see, just because you find it tiresome doesn't mean others do. It's a forum, people are going to react to stuff, that's how it works. If someone doesn't react to something as you want them to, ignore or block them, it doesn't harm anything and it takes very little effort to do.

What "community" is there here though? The people that try to make communities already stick to whatever thread they congregate in, be it Xbox, Playstation, Specific games, etc. There isn't an overall "Resetera Community" because everyone posting outside of those specific threads are going to be vastly different from one another, just as forums tend to be.

Because a lot of times it actively ruins topics, it's not always easy to ignore. Just ignoring issues does not make them go away, and they have been more prevalent than they have ever been around here.

People are actively rude here to developers, and as a forum that supposedly cares about workers rights and developers and human beings, we do a piss poor job of showing it.

It's because of lax moderation. I didn't see mods once in that Neil thread until the very end when an Admin closed the thread with no commentary on what should be done to avoid this in the future. I've been a lurker since this place opened and the lack of moderation these days is a joke.

Mod Edit: Why is it always an alt

Banned for alt lololol

This thread made me check my Ignore list to see how many are on there and it's 555.

If you have to ignore 500 users it means there’s something very very wrong in how anything here works, starting on what is allowed and people just run with being jerks.

Yeah, you're right. I should get off the internet and take a break more often.

They ain't gonna take a break 

No no, I wasn’t talking specifically about your situation, it was just the example I chose as it was being very discussed in the previous page.

But what I meant is that if you had to reach that point it means there’s something very broken in how this forum works as a community.

Annnnd he kisses ass to that user

No, that's not the most rational conclusion at all.
