Uh, HECHT, did you not do the normal extensive research your position requires you and the rest of the staff to do??? Here, the hate site was already on it for you yet again:

You mean this Barbara Walters?

Sherri Shepherd slams Barbara Walters for using the N-word on 'The View'

On Monday's episode of "The View," the 43-year-old television personality got upset with her co-host's use of a racist epithet.

Walters, 82, said the word in context of a story about presidential candidate Rick Perry and a West Texas hunting camp that he leased named "N-----head," but it still rubbed Shepherd the wrong way.

"I didn't like the way you said it," Shepherd, 43, scolded veteran news reporter Walters.

Walters dated lawyer[71][72] Roy Cohn in college; he said that he proposed marriage to Walters the night before her wedding to Lee Guber, but Walters denied this.[27] She explained her lifelong devotion to Cohn as gratitude for his help in her adoption of her daughter, Jacqueline.[73] In her autobiography, Walters says she also felt grateful to Cohn because of his legal assistance to her father. According to Walters, her father was the subject of an arrest warrant for "failure to appear" after he failed to show up for a New York court date because the family was in Las Vegas, and Cohn was able to have the charge dismissed.[74] Walters testified as a character witness at Cohn's 1986 disbarment trial.[75]

Walters dated future U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in the 1970s[76] and was linked romantically to United States Senator John Warner in the 1990s.

In Walters's autobiography Audition, she wrote that she had an affair in the 1970s with Edward Brooke, then a married United States Senator from Massachusetts. It is not clear whether Walters also was married at the time. Walters said they ended the affair to protect their careers from scandal.[77] In 2007 she dated Pulitzer Prize–winning gerontologist Robert Neil Butler.[78]

Walters was close friends with Tom Brokaw and Woody Allen, and was close friends with Joan Rivers as well with former Fox News head Roger Ailes from the late 1960s until his death in 2017.[79]

lol @ the entire premise of this thread. I don't set off fireworks, but it takes quite the hissy fit to post something like this as a response to people just having fun on one of the few days of the year where it's socially acceptable to do so.

Yes, fuck all animals and people with ptsd. Also fireworks are terrible for the environment and have caused awful fires on the west coast. At the most I’m fine with them in the hands of professionals. They should be banned for purchase by the average dipshit.

People who do this are absolute assholes. I will not back down on this and no justification exists that does not include some severe form of “I don’t care about you or whoever’s with you”. Animals always have it rough. Pets have the care of their owners but most don’t. Kids can have it rough too, if they’re sensible to it, and frankly most kids I’ve known have a hard time with it. And there are lots of other people who might not be kids but still suffer with these things. Multiple times in my life I’ve had to help with kids or teenagers who were very scared of fireworks but found themselves unawaringly close to fireworks about to go off. I’m especially reminded of a teenage girl who was laying down, terrified and crying because suddenly there were fireworks that no one was expecting.

Nothing is worth this kind of shit.

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.

We have a real live racist on the bore, folx 

Look at all that racism.  Advocating for Afghani womens rights.  What's next?  Measuring skulls you piece of shit?

 


i'll say that when i copped that ban i was pretty offended for basically being called a racist.  not sure what it is i said that was specifically racist.  It was an opinion about the political system of government in the area that would theoretically replace what was in existence.

How is it racist to suggest that women probably weren't going be receiving equal rights in a country like Afghanistan when women in the US are severely oppressed and it's literally Gilead there?

because if you don't say every society will become free and fair when their previous tyrannical government is replaced, it is racist.

Homophobic, xenophobic, racist, misogynistic and transphobic. I love Japan, and every Japanese person I’ve met, but their society isn’t immune from the broad negative cultural aspects of the homogeneous East.

Never take for granted what we’ve gained in the West in terms of equality and progress, and never stop fighting for greater awareness and equal opportunity for all.

We're really going to need the ResetERA.com staff to sit down and make a list of all the races they've discovered in their essential and extensive research for the rest of us.

So is the absurd logical end conclusion of a total rejection of cultural and moral relativity in favour of eras stance on any issue being the One True Faith, that any shortcomings against that moral absolutism made by non white cultures but pointed out by yts is automatically racism?

if you say that a culture that isn't of western origin doesn't value the same things as the west, it is apparently racist.

This is perhaps the greatest thing that rubs me wrong about that board. They act like the gossamer threads only they can see between some picture or sound in a game reaching all the way to the fourth reich establishment is enough to convince young impressionable malleable gamers to join gatorgate and Joanne’s genocidal campaign against transgenders. Simultaneously, the violence that drenches most games these days, especially the most popular ones, is philosophically inert and hold no sway to those same impressionable and malleable gamers. This despite the research on links between game and physical violence, as tenuous as they are, being far more established than the societal links, real or imagined, that show up in a game.

It’s a vile hypocrisy at the foundation of their belief system that they refuse to even remotely acknowledge, much less address.

I just can't get over how christian moral busybody of the 80s and 90s morphed into some form of secular religious moral busybody that's almost indistinguishable

the worse problem is that the modern version doesn't even have any core tenets that try to define where the lines are, it's an ever-shifting relativistic mob rule situation where whatever the majority are saying on twitter are morally correct, and the large corporations which own everything also all bend the knee to it

People in that thread fully admitting (but in typical Era fashion, too stupid to understand what they are saying) that the directors of MCU movies are never actually directing the movies and just riding the wave of what Feige and company put together in the board room meetings. Congrats, I guess.

Seems bizarre to see many suddenly against the Russo brothers though after piling on the praise, most of them having all of their MCU movies at or near the top. I guess stepping out from under the MCU umbrella does that. Next up, James Gunn for being in charge for DC’s reboot.

Don't want to hear disruptive music blasting in your neighborhood? Well, you're just a middle class, dead-end suburbanite according to Nep:

Not sure how being annoyed or even mad over people unable to control their volume in public is “whack.”

It's a symptom of middle class, dead-end suburbanism. To me, a lack of noise in an area makes it feel legitimately lifeless and unsociable, and more often than not if it gets too much I need to drive somewhere or go do something where I can hear and see people actually communing with one another. I grew up always hearing music from house parties, loud cars, block parties, etc., and a lot of the noise making I participated in myself. The need to escape from all noise or, when that can't be achieved, to rant against such people as idiots or sociopathic, is just fundamentally repugnant to me. Again, I never want to get to a point in my life where I find the occasional loud car or even phone so annoying and offensive that I need to rant to strangers on ResetEra about it. It's about as cool and appealing as going on Nextdoor to complain about the rap cars.

You can tell Nep wants to deem people complaining as a bunch of privileged, lame yts.

I was falsely labeled a racist, sexist, homophobe and transphobe and lots of folks DM'ed me that it was bullshit but none dare challenge the mods.

From what I recall I was in the crosshairs because the GAF mods had sort of put their SS uniforms in the closet and were acting all smug and self righteous and I called them out on it. They were giving 'advice' on how ResetEra should be run. It was laughable.
There was also a lot of fear among the Nintendo Insiders that I would steal their lunch. They had all sorts of arrangements of who would post which topic and who was the expert in what and they spread so much misinformation that I simply had to intervene at times. The guy with the Kirby avatar and the black ribbon(?) was especially stupid but considered to be gods voice on everything Nintendo.

Then I explained something about how Poland was lagging behind most of the EU in terms of the economy and social issues considering it didn't became a modern democracy until it joined the EU in 2004 or so in relation to a controversy with some Polish developers and boom, banned.

It's a symptom of middle class, dead-end suburbanism. To me, a lack of noise in an area makes it feel legitimately lifeless and unsociable, and more often than not if it gets too much I need to drive somewhere or go do something where I can hear and see people actually communing with one another. I grew up always hearing music from house parties, loud cars, block parties, etc., and a lot of the noise making I participated in myself. The need to escape from all noise or, when that can't be achieved, to rant against such people as idiots or sociopathic, is just fundamentally repugnant to me. Again, I never want to get to a point in my life where I find the occasional loud car or even phone so annoying and offensive that I need to rant to strangers on ResetEra about it. It's about as cool and appealing as going on Nextdoor to complain about the rap cars.

You can tell Nep wants to deem people complaining as a bunch of privileged, lame yts.
 

She's a middle class suburbanite. Jesus she's such a fucking liar.

Still better than the "Penis pointing to vagina" suit that MCU Wasp has.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

Imagine looking at this costume and only seeing a penis pointing to a vagina...


And then imagine getting annoyed when people accuse you of looking for things to be offended about.

Especially when a wasp looks like this

Yes, fuck all animals and people with ptsd. Also fireworks are terrible for the environment and have caused awful fires on the west coast. At the most I’m fine with them in the hands of professionals. They should be banned for purchase by the average dipshit.

People who do this are absolute assholes. I will not back down on this and no justification exists that does not include some severe form of “I don’t care about you or whoever’s with you”. Animals always have it rough. Pets have the care of their owners but most don’t. Kids can have it rough too, if they’re sensible to it, and frankly most kids I’ve known have a hard time with it. And there are lots of other people who might not be kids but still suffer with these things. Multiple times in my life I’ve had to help with kids or teenagers who were very scared of fireworks but found themselves unawaringly close to fireworks about to go off. I’m especially reminded of a teenage girl who was laying down, terrified and crying because suddenly there were fireworks that no one was expecting.

Nothing is worth this kind of shit.

 

Lot of angry Ree starting the New Years as expected

Most teenagers are afraid of fireworks?  And lol at the PTSD part.  People on era claiming they have it like they served in Fallujah.  And then whenever a real vet foolish enough to shows up in a thread they call him a baby killer, fascist, nazi who just wants to shoot brown people.

Face it.  People are having fun and that gets you mad.  Don't bring vets into this or "most teenagers," who are actually scared.

Have you met any teenagers lately? They've all got some sort of PTSD, ADHD, LGBTQ, WTF, WWE, STD, or something...

Yeah I hate it

My city will do fireworks without sound this year in respect to elders, babies, animals etc

What in the fuck are these people talking about? Why are they so insistent that everyone else on the planet, including animals now apparently, is as stupid as they are?

So in one thread we have every animal on the planet and millions of humans having complete traumatic breakdowns from a few minutes of fireworks and in another thread we have Nepenthe calling anyone who doesn't like excessive noise sociopathic idiots.

Just popping in to say you are doing a much better job at actually framing the discussion than most others here who frame anyone who sets off fireworks in a non-professional setting as mouth-breathers/sociopaths/sub-human (while also expecting these same people to have empathy.)

I think it's reasonable to expect someone not to care for you if you call them a mouth-breather or sociopathic for partaking in something humanity has been doing for literally hundreds of years.

(...)

Like either we want to have a conversation, or we want to call people assholes. You cannot have the latter and then expect the former from people who are being called assholes.

I don't think people should have to earn empathy on principle. But at the same time, I think where that poster was coming from was the fact that this particular topic was fundamentally started by people who were not being charitable in the first place. Like, I'm not going to care about being nice or charitable to someone who is coming at me while on one.

 

[benjipwns]

She's literally in the other thread doing exactly that.

[benjipwns]

I was looking to see if Nepenthe had suddenly discovered the term sociopaths which I found interesting because of the amount of weight she gives other people's concerns (zero) versus her own (imposes it on, at the least, every Black person on the planet) and found this thread from last week where Nepenthe thought a prank was hilarious and people were calling the prank sociopathic: https://www.resetera.com/threads/new-tiktok-trend-live-reactions-to-fake-celebrity-death-announcements.668761/

How is this harmless? People can have pretty real emotional responses to deaths. Just so a kid can laugh at you and film it?

Having an emotional response to something fake is not abuse.

I guess trolling is not abuse.
smh.gif

Depends upon what the trolling is occuring over.

If I tap you on the opposite shoulder, that makes me a sociopath?

I feel like I shouldn't really have to point out that this is an extremely bad take. Even if you don't view these videos as crossing a line, this is absolutely not the justification for them being fine.

The context I made this defense in was that another poster said that these specific videos constituted cruelty on the basis of merely soliciting an emotional reaction out of someone. I simply disagreed. If you think that means I now think that shit like gaslighting and emotional abuse from a significant other are okay, you are also out of pocket.

You were the one who failed to qualify it, so that misinterpretation isn't on me.

The qualification is what the thread is about and who I was talking to before you decided to jump in with your hot take. Your inability to read, parse context, and assume good faith is indeed your own fucking fault.

Well, agree to disagree, but I don't think I'm the only one who took your post that way.

The only other person who did also made a crack about being an admin, like I haven't heard that shit before. Regardless, most of the thread seems to be able to understand the belief that I'm not out here advocating for domestic abuse.

So maybe, just maybe, you should take your own advice and take some responsibility for the emotional upset you're causing. Hmm?

I'm sorry to have caused you any emotional upset. I was concerned that, taken out of context, a statement like that could be seen as a tacit endorsement of certain kinds of abuse. Thank you for taking the time to explain your intent to me.

It's okay. Maybe it's my fault for misjudging the tenor of this forum, but I was under the impression that we could have approached a thread about kids pranking their parents in a manner that did not escalate to accusations that are as serious as that, regardless of whether or not you found the videos funny.
