I feel like Hogwarts is far removed enough from JK that discussion here wouldn’t be banned, right? Feels like it’s more about the game and the team behind it than her……like a mod statement about how she isn’t endorsed here would be enough and there could be a thread.

I'm 39 with a career and family. I don't have much time to game these days and the only game I plan on buying on that list is Hogwarts. Starfield looks great but I only have a PS5.

When the game drops, if it ends up being good, I will buy it to support the devs (who have been open on being inclusive) and enjoy it.
J.K Rowling and her rantings will have no bearing on my purchasing decisions.

Not surprising.
Can’t wait to explore Hogwarts but it’s crazy how many non gamer friends are excited about it as well.

I mean, Hogwarts is probably the only game I search for since discussion is banned here lol

Hell I'm not a big fand, just watched the movies like a year ago and I'll probably be there day one

Facebook's parent company Meta is considering whether to allow former President Donald Trump back on to its platforms and is due to announce its decision in the coming weeks, a company spokesperson told CNN on Monday.

Era's stance on Trump, however, remains.

[nobody of note]

Last week had some of the regular complaints about moderation in the secret Constructive thread.
Mods said nothing about it, but do ding a user for these wild and nonsensical conspiracy theories:

User banned (1 week): conspiracy theories, permanent threadban from thread

I have noticed a little slide (not just in that thread but many others) towards the forum being ok with putting people down for their viewpoints. In the past it seemed like a lot of the times if someone was dogpiled it was when they made a comment that was undeniably wrong. Something racist, sexist, homophobic, etc and then eventually mods would get in and temp ban or action that person and things would move on. A general level of respect for disagreement was largely kept.

It really seems in the last few months that it’s been seen more often when someone has a contrary view to what seems like the general thread consensus. It’s open season on people for being “wrong.” Even if the wrong is merely a difference of opinion. Not something overly and easily identifiable as problematic.

You know why this keeps happening

Because certain users are basically mouthpieces for the mods so they're unchecked to dogpile as long as they're on the right side of the conversation

You know who they are. Users who hijack threads, make dozens of posts, lead dogpiles and then do it all over again in the next thread. Sometimes they'll get a warning or a short ban when it gets too hard to ignore.

Some people will deny this happens but it absolutely does.

So today Embiid catches up and lets everyone know to lower their expectations because unpaid overworked mods. He gets one response from a poster:

Reading the last few pages of this thread, it feels like a lot of the concerns being brought up…

- snarky thread locks, or locks with no comment
- not receiving a response to concerns
- inconsistency with rules / the TOS
- ban inquiries going unanswered

…can be chalked up to this forum having tens of thousands of users and like 30 or 40 mods, most of which aren’t gettin a dime. Like if you’re becoming “infuriated” by not receiving answers for every random thread lock and concern you have, you’re probably not being realistic about what’s possible from a moderation standpoint on a forum with tens of thousands of active users and a handful of mods. I’m not bootlicking or saying the concerns aren’t valid, I’m just saying if people are more realistic with expectations considering the ridiculous size of this community, maybe you won’t get as pissed off from this shit in the future.

I don't think anyone is sitting here frothing in anger at the mods. Well some people probably are but it's not the reason people keep bringing this up. I've only been active on here for almost 3ish years myself and this has been a consistent issue the entire time. When I look into the stuff that happened before I was here, this was a primary reason this thread was even created.

The size of this forum is definitely an understandable factor in why things like ban inquiries take awhile. But I don't see how that's even remotely relevant to things like "snarky thread locks or locks with no comments" or "inconsistency with rules / the TOS". I think it's a kind of undeniable fact that some of the mods have a habit of being very condescending to the users, especially when threads are locked. And when a mod locks a thread based on a misunderstanding of the thread's content because they clearly didn't read it, locked it with a snarky message, and then locked the thread clarifying what their thread was doing using a rule that also didn't apply... yeah, that's not because there are too many users.

I don't think I should need to clarify that I have nothing personally against any mod here in order to bring concerns to the table but I have done so anyway.
Nobody is asking them to answer all concerns perfectly within five seconds of them being raised. We're just asking for the primary concern this thread has been bringing up for years to even just be acknowledged to be being worked on.

And then B-Dubs posts!

We're swapping over PayPal accounts and as a result some people might have their Era Clear subs cancelled. While we set up a new PayPal, Stripe is still working perfectly. So if there's any interruption and you'd like to keep your sub going, use strip to re-up and it should be fine.

Fear underpins a lot of white supremacist thinking that feeds back into conservative "thought." For centuries there's always been the understated fear of Black revolt, whether it's been the actual uprisings by slaves, with and without white indentured servants joining in solidarity, myths of Black men being brutish things who want to steal away white women, Black and Brown gang violence somehow making its way to the gated white suburbs, and so on. Police killings of Black men and the military industrial complex are, in part, extensions of this fear, which is why white people act so fucking confused when the police are forced to turn their violence around on them.

The same "gated" suburbs you live in that you need to escape from to desperately pursue the desired features of other communities?  What?

Nepenthe:


If you disagree with Nepenthe, Queen of All Blacks, about anything, then the space is completely compromised.

[Propagandhim]

3. I'm absolutely for black men arming themselves to the teeth for performative bullshit in white neighborhoods. It's not smart, cause at the end of the day "but it was legal" only applies to whites (they will find a way to make you the bad guy), but there's no better motivator for the white supremacist to change their laws than a black man with more guns than they got.

So why isn't carrying that many weapons and body armor tantamount to yelling fire in a theater?

NepNep

Because we live in a country held hostage by white conservatives who have convinced themselves for one reason or another that everything around them is a threat, and thus the broadest interpretations of the second amendment are necessary to assuage their delusions, or as they say "keep the country safe." It absolutely should be illegal to even possess half of the shit he had on him, much less flaunt it around in public, but because of white supremacy it isn't.

Who gives a shit if he broke the law? US law is fucking stupid.

[Boredfrom]

Someone decides to start woke drama in the VTuber thread, but ended before it truly began with a bizarre rant:

This’ll be my final message here. I’m not going to pretend that I was hoping to find a bit more of a progressive community to discuss things, but lurking while waiting for approval to chat, I leave somewhat frustrated.

To preface, I don’t identify as male ( or anything for that matter). And for that reason, I picked up vtubing back in 2018 as an oasis to rid myself of the toxic masculinity that has spread within the anime and streaming communities over the years. I was able to ignore the 4chan stuff (the only place to discuss vtubing in English in those early years) because they were irrelevant. Got into Kizuna Ai, Mirai Akari, Siro and Kaguya Luna, eventually spread out to the likes of the Omega Sisters, Nobuhime Oda and eventually to Nijisanji and Hololive.

It was great to see women succeed without having to deal with the expectations of the male gaze and all that bullshit. But stuff like the Raita incident within Nijisanji made me rather cynical that things were going to continue to be safe. Don’t get me wrong, early on, it seemed Niji had safeguards for offcollabs like streaming at their studio. I still just couldn’t get it out of my head that what I was familiar with was vanishing. And with Hololive, known as an all-women group, I felt I finally found my place. Away from the toxicity I generally associate with cishet men.

Watching from outside, I could see that many of the girls in Nijisanji began to struggle. They were no longer as popular as their male counterparts. They seemingly got less views, less donations. It troubled me to see a blatant bias that I felt was gone within the vTubing community. And people who donated to the girls were labeled ‘simp’ and other sexist bullshit for anyone who dared to show support because they dared to be entertained by women.

Hololive continued to be my oasis. I got to watch them rise from having as struggling to hit 20k subs to being hitting 1m subs with ease. I felt so happy to see success for women in a field (streaming) that had been so toxic for them. Then came HoloEN and vShoujo, that success was looking to pass their way into the western world. Myth were shining stars and vShoujo made their name in the twitch world.

But I can’t help but feel things over the last year has changed. I counted, 15 men have been hired by the English branches of Cover and Nijisanji to only 6 women. When men have had so many advantages in the streaming world, watching as it seemed like NijiEN was turning into a boys club while Cover dropped hiring 5 more women in favor of an all-male group. It became clear that what I’ve seen in smaller, more diverse anime communities of yesteryear were becoming more cishet men-centric. I mean for Christ’s sake , Nyanners boyfriend got to be one of the hosted channels for the gaming awards when they were called out for not having any women’s channel from doing it!

Will that continue? I don’t know. Watching clips and streams along with whatever popped up on twitter and what whatnot, showing the wonderfully safe space women have created for themselves in this harsh streaming environment become a boy’s club, it’s blatantly obvious that I’m not welcomed in this community any more.

So you can shrug off all the transgressions that cishet men have done in the vtubing community, I won’t be a part of that.

Is Dubs in some kind of competition with Nep?

There are a growing number of folks who do it to protect the most vulnerable among us and I can't say they are wrong or that I blame them.

Bullshit. Seriously, I'm tired of people on the left trying to justify this shit when it so obviously costs people lives.

This is a bullshit excuse.

Bullshit excuse for what exactly?

It's not bullshit that many vulnerable folks are arming up because of the very real threat of violence against them. More of my Queer friends are arming up than ever before especially since many are BIPOC. Armed Queer folks showed up here to stop alt-right pieces of shit from hurting folks at a drag show recently. If they hadn't show up, the alt-right would have become violent.

Guns aren't going away anytime soon and if vulnerable folks, that are under threat of violence, are arming themselves, I'm not going to tut-tut that. You can if you wish. I refuse to tell the oppressed that they can't resist. Another one of the many reasons Queer folks know that we are on own.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun, but from the left. That's literally the argument. It's either a crap argument or it isn't.

The odds of anyone carrying a gun coming across a mass shooting is a million to one, and from there it's a million to one that they're in a position to stop it. It's a so completely unlikely that we regularly mock rightwing assholes for the exact same logic. It's not going to happen. Sure YOU might feel better, but what about everyone around you? You'll just be freaking them out because a bystander can't tell the difference between an asshole looking to do a mass shooting and someone looking to stop one. Wanna know why? Because there's no difference until they start shooting.

It's the exact same logic that is used to justify our current predicament. Only from the left.

And as someone who has had to be evacuated from a building as a result of a mass shooter, who has been in more school lockdowns than you have fingers, who was damn near shot through a wall, I am so tired of people justifying their crap. Having a gun makes you feel better, it's fine to admit that, but don't pretend it's anything other than that. And don't pretend you're doing it for other people. I can respect honesty, I refuse to respect bullshit.

Then what should a trans person do especially in state with lax gun laws and even more of a threat to their well-being?

Just because they're using faulty logic that literally mirrors the logic that got us here in the first place doesn't mean we have to go "well, nothing we can do about it"

But that still leaves my question unanswered. What should that trans person do?

You are literally buying into the exact same rhetoric that conservatives use to justify the status quo.

Are you going to say what the alternative actually is or are you going to keep tut-tutting trans ppl and pocs who are actually under threat here? Like how anybody here could look at the two groups of people trying to get guns and honestly think there's so little difference to be immaterial blows my fucking mind.

Dubs suddenly vanishes.

Not surprised people are anticipating the TERF game. But it makes me sad because Joanne is a piece of shit that is actively hurting people and yet people don't care. More important is the game from a shitty franchise.k

HP is a shitty franchise?

Cuphead iirc doesnt let you see the final boss and strait up cuts phases from regular boss battles

Yeah. That's why I used WeMod to play on "normal" but with easier difficulty lol

Are you a Telsa sales person?

Your post doesn't make sense if you aren't.

"You seem disgruntled with your purchase, are you aware that everyone else is dogshit compared to them? The current UX isn't as good as before but let's pray Elmo realises that and fixes it with some hardcore programming"

I previously remarked that a few years ago there was a number of people who'd make accounts on resetera just to say positive things about Telsa.

Like every single post of their's would be about Tesla.

You know this is a video game forum, right?
(Will you tell us about Telsa's steam integration? 👀)

also, what the fuck is up with yall taking this opportunity to shit on jason

Because he comes off as a "don't forget about the homework assignment, professor" type of dweeb. He has a strong "my shit don't stink" and shrinks under the tiniest bit of criticism by blocking folks.

As somebody with a small penis, it does get pretty frustrating. Body shaming as far as I am concerned. But I guess it is funny and an easy way to make small men feel smaller? I don't know.

I would move the fuck out such a state.

There is essentially no way to tell of the guy is just compensating for a miniature dick, or means to kill everyone in his vicinity until he starts shooting, which would be too late.

Nah, I'd be out.

User Warned: Trolling

I'd encourage people to develop better coping skills to deal with situations where things might not be favorable for them, as they will continue to happen throughout life.



With that said, I do not endorse setting off fireworks anywhere it's against the law; being a resident of California, I understand the impact fireworks can have during the dry season, and the reasons for those types of regulations. That is a societal impact that goes well beyond "but my dog doesn't like it".









Yah, seriously. Outdoor cats are terrible for the planet:





With that said, it's New Years Eve, and I'm definitely not spending any more time arguing setting off some fireworks to celebrate, as festivities are calling my name. I'll part with this note: it makes me feel good that this will continue to happen, every year, regardless of OP's and everyone in this thread's objections.



Cheers!

Stating facts is trolling?

Incoming rip bans!

There were posts in this thread where Royalan called out the op for speculating that it was a drug overdose. He must have gone back and deleted all evidence of the exchange after it turned out that it probably was an od.

So after seeing Hogwarts Legacy as number 1 for most anticipated game in that other thread…I had an idea.

I think, on the day of the game’s release, ResetERA itself should shut down. Like, have the wesbite link re-direct to a page with a message and links for Trans charities or something like that.

Hogwarts Legacy is sadly going to be a big game, and it’s most certainly going to draw attention to the site, ban or no ban. ResetERA going offline for a day would be a great way to get the message out and draw more attention towards what J.K. Rowling is doing.

I agree. I think Restera absolutely should shut down. In no way would it set a precedent that would backfire on them.

I want to burn this wretched world down seeing the number 1 on this list, and everyone playing this game will be my enemy, and I hope every one of you who plays the fucking Harry Potter game burn your hand into incapacitation, ban me if you want

And that's after the edit.

Half a day later and it doesn’t even have a warning

Considering the plot of the game is a right-wing fantasy based on the Protocols of Zion...

This game is already delivering so much hilarity for me.

I'd love that, but with new owners who like ad money, I don't think the current admins could do something like that.

I'm still hopeful all people aren't looking it up because they genuinely want to buy it. As I said in the thread, I've looked it up a few times just to see when it's releasing, but fuck if it's getting a cent from me used or new.

Every time this thread gets bumped I'm hoping this horrid human being finally got her comeuppance in some way. And every time, I'm disappointed.😡

[Averon]

It's sad how so many of them seemed genuinely shocked and confused about Hogwart Legacy's popularity. So many of them live in a complete and total bubble on ResetERA that things like "boys actually need/want masculine role models" and "people want to play HL and don't know or care about JKR" is a shock to their system. Their bubble popped and their only response to that is confusion and lashing out.

hey ninja dog, here is a pink ribbon of shame because playing on easy is like being a Women

I'm really glad I haven't run into anything like that recently.

This is a bit of a mischaracterization of the mode iirc. Ayane helps Ryu out after he dies a bunch, unlocking Ninja Dog difficulty, and giving Ryu access to her several ribbons throughout the game. The ribbons are many different colors, not just pink, and iirc are functionally the same as accessories you get in higher difficulties but you just get them earlier with less difficulty. They're optional to equip and provide additional benefits to the player above and beyond the already lower difficulty. Think it works differently in Sigma and Black so maybe there's a difference.

Honestly aside from the name, Ninja Dog is like...the opposite of this thread topic. You get the whole game content wise if you so wish including the final boss and whatnot on a much easier difficulty.

The actual ninja dog mode itself is good. It is a great set of changes to help the player succeed. But the tone is not good. It makes fun of the player, and abuses toxic masculinity to attempt to shame the player by giving them flowing ribbons and making the Girl Ninja their new master. This is, of course, very stupid: none of these things are actually shameful. But the intent is pretty clear if you examine it from a normal dudebro perspective. And the intent is what I take issue with.
