Other Forums Containment Thread

They really want to make the whole concept of cancel culture to be lepered by associating with alt right while pretending “it just fake shit”. At the same time, they get mad every time they get called out or point out how cancellation is bad.

Is worse when there is people that understand that cancel culture is nothing new and that exists, but because cancellations are now also driven by social media is now a good thing to “empower the marginalized”.

Hasan supposedly (unless he ends up reconsidering after the backlash he's got from trans people, but having seen how pissed he gets after getting criticized, I honestly doubt it & feel like he'd just double down) plans to stream TERF Legacy while competing with other fellow streamers who'll also stream it to see who can raise the most money for a trans charity.

Some fellow cis streamers/Youtubers or streamer-adjacent Twitter people have been supportive of that while also defending their choice to play HL, but he's rightfully gotten pushback from trans people. Some cis people (like Hasan's editor ofc) joked around & made memes about how without him streaming the game, there wouldn't be any money going to trans charities from streamers or their fans, so they should absolutely stream it & people shouldn't criticize him. It's just so damn tone deaf.

They could hold charity streams for trans people literally any time they wanted while playing whatever the fuck they want, but no, of course they can only do it while buying & playing the game that supports the violent TERF who literally sees people buying the game & playing it as support for her transphobia no matter their actual opinions. Literally nothing is stopping them from instead of buying & playing HL, playing games that feature or are made by trans people. Many of which are very heartfelt indie games. You could also invite trans friends (if they have any lol) or creatives & activists to have them talk about the ongoing issues surrounding trans people in our society.

I don't expect anything from Hasan anyway - or any other cis streamers for that matter -, but you'd think that they'd at least think twice about doing this or listen to trans people instead of a sea of other cis people who'll kiss their asses either way. Like, of course we know people will buy HL either way, but why is fucking signal boosting it & sending JKR your support in one way or another the only damn way you can raise money for trans people? It's just so fucking stupid & not at all thought-out.

I dunno, maybe the non-binary & binary trans people I'm friends with & follow are too militant like me, but I'm just so sick of cis people literally not using more than one braincell when it comes to fucking TERF Legacy. You wouldn't hold a charity mukbang stream in which you buy everything Chick-Fil-A has on the menu, but then have people donate to an LGBT+ charity, so why the fuck would you think this stream is a good idea? lmao. Not even going into how this whole thing would just massively boost HL on Twitch which is just more free publicity for JKR, because we all know most people wouldn't even just think about her transphobia twice considering how little the general public cares about transphobia. And as much as I'd love to be wrong, I very much doubt some Twitch streamers holding trans-supportive fundraisers while playing HL would get even remotely as many eyes on them from the general public as they think. Especially not when it's people who've been transphobic &/or dismissive of trans people in the past lmao.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad that he's the same streamer who was utterly dismissive & an absolute asshole towards trans people both on his stream & here on Era when people kindly pointed out Kyuuji's thread about Cyberpunk's transphobic shit in & outside of the game when the game released & he defended his choice of playing it.

This may be a dumb questions on my part but if it is hey …

In light of the latest Nepal crash, it sadden me to see this tragedy repeats every once in a while. In almost every crash reported, death is almost guaranteed..

Anyone taking a plane is really at the mercy of the pilot or plane malfunctions.. the whole thing is really scary if you think about it…

I really wish they would focus on making plane crashes survivable .. if it is even possible to achieve..

I’m just bummed out whenever I see a plane crash and everyone is just gone .. just like that.

Edit:

I realized the question I asked was worded wrong.. I really meant to ask .. why can’t they improve human survivability rate when planes actually do crash? Planes are safe.. yes.. but the rare times it happen everyone on board is just out of luck mentality should really make industry start focusing on this issue more.

Nobody really believes there was “transphobia” in Cyberpunk outside RE and some woke niche circles. Hell, Hassan got more blowback at RE from his takes on Russia VS Ukraine pre-invasion.

Official Staff Communication

With all the debate around this term, something has been lost: how LGBTQ+ individuals in these nations and of these descents feel about it. This isn't a discussion for cis people, it's not a discussion for white people or anyone who isn't a part of the community that is having this discussion. By stepping into this, we trample the feelings and opinions of those who are most affected.

What Governor Huckabee-Sanders has done is exactly that. She has inserted herself into the discussion, seeking to use it as a political football, using it as a wedge issue to gain more power for herself, instead of elevating the voices of those who are most affected.

A lot of people in this thread are also trampling over the feelings and opinions of those affected, of those who should be having this conversation. We insert ourselves here, to argue and yell over the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals of Hispanic and Latin descent. This is not what we should be doing.

Let us leave you with one question to answer: When was the last time you spoke to someone who was directly affected by all of this and asked them what they thought? How closely did you listen to what they told you?

I have a feeling if we listened more, and spoke less, these threads might go a little better.

Who's directly affected by the Government of Arkansas not using Latinx on government documents?

Also notice how B-Dubs orders everyone to submit (if you disagree, look at how he says "how closely did you listen" implying that you must accept their views or you're not listening, the same language the student at Hamline used when the professor merely apologized to her for showing the painting) to the views of someone who merely claims, since none of those things can be proven on ResetERA.com, to be of the proper class. The inclusive inviting bonfire of ResetERA.com, where members of the wrong class are not allowed to speak.

Alright let's take a look at what's going on at the ol' gaf...

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/any-horny-people-here-tired-of-findom-and-escorts.1649975/

I go on escort sites a lot since I'm single, and with how you get spoken to by these women online, it honestly makes me half glad to be single. Talk about having a narky aura about them.

Basically, most of the profiles on there I think are gallery scams. The members keep changing location. The same can be said about Fetlife as well. When you send them messages, you feel like you have to not step on anyone's toes for fear of being blocked, slandered, spoken to like rubbish, and whatnot. I understand that they in all fairness, likely get a lot of people mucking them about, or they may be doing "the job" to make ends meet, so I have a shred of sympathy for their situation. Their safety is paramount. But I think it's a two way street, to be honest.

I had somebody on my radar for a while, and she was touring in Edinburgh during the fall. So I signed up to her OnlyFans. Despite the fact you're paying for a subscription for to simp for them and gawk at their boring wank fodder, half the videos and pictures are still locked behind paywalls, and there's nothing that really stands out either. Then I attempted to book her on the appropriate site, and I gathered she must think the sun shines out of her arse. She said she doesn't see anyone without feedback, yet her profile completely omits that fact. It's more like an egotistical demand list, quite frankly. It doesn't sound very friendly at all, but she does look stunning. And she tours with women who are low key porn stars, and they charge ridiculous hourly rates and have enhanced boobs, and don't look nearly as attractive as her anyway. But it's a common theme. Say anything to break their all too delicate skin, and you'll be meeting the block party. It's very common and cut-throat of them to hit their red button so quickly, so don't expect to be giving a second chance.

I was talking to a girl on WhatsApp a few years ago, and she blocked me too. I wasn't too chuffed about that. Then she found me on another forum, and called me names. She emailed me because she found out my real name and address. You can see some really dodgy videos of her doing things I best not describe here, but I try not to judge them too harshly. And I didn't even know it was her at first, although I think it's all because some moron in Australia was spamming it on a forum that's no longer moderated, and that jackass has been such a thorn in my side, that I recently consulted with a lawyer in Western Australia - only to be told he requires a $30,000 fee upfront. I'd explained how this guy has been bothering me online for years, and the solicitor said they can still accept clients who are from overseas.

So she basically got sarcastic and said she has a torture room in her mansion in Scotland, or something, where we could shoot a movie with me "being the star of the show." I thought she was being a drama llama over nothing. So in response, I said she probably made men vanish. This was intended as counter sarcasm. I cannot quite remember how I worded everything. Then she got a lawyer just because I said that, making out I defamed her. I honestly had to laugh at how stupid the whole situation was, although it came as no surprise. I had to do a video link to a court, which I filmed, and all they did was butt in and barely listen to anything I said. But the bottom line is, they identify as sadists. So I mean, why bother thinking they're going to be in any way calm and civil, right? She even has a post on Twitter about wanting a shrine built in her honour when she dies. What the hell?

Apart from herself, there's all manner of women creating accounts on Twitter these days, purposefully posting saying sexist comments about guys, and thinking they're on a pedestal. But if you're a guy and you say something about women, they moan about it, and you never hear the end of their ranting. So how about taken their own sour tasting medicine for a change?

I went to a dungeon years ago, to meet a Spanish woman who was there temporarily. I only seen her twice. The next thing I know, I'm being slandered by somebody else on Twitter, who I never met. She looks like a Margot Robbie wannabe, with a bit of a dumb blonde and Catwoman look thrown in for good measure. Well, she was doing it along with the mistress who runs that joint, and now all of these women who coincidentally know her are doing it as well. But I've never said anything out of line to any of these ladies, so why they prefer to act so mollycoddled, I don't know.

They demand money, reimbursements, gifts, or whatever, and say you're a loser and stuff, while talking about how godly they are. So I really don't get why anybody would be daft enough to follow them, knowing they don't even value you as a person. They're ruthless and without a good bone in their body. Maybe not all of them are like this. You really do have to discard a lot of chaff husks to find any golden wheat, so to speak. But I was told though that if they do not offer aftercare following a BDSM session, then they're not a true dominatrix, which I don't think most of them are. And I'm not a woman hater. I just think technology has gone to their heads. It's only gonna get worse if people fall for this, and I'd consider it an embarrassment to be in their company.

At the end of the day, something that's supposed to relieve sexual tension for a socially dense autistic man such as myself, is essentially just grinding my gears, and it's feeling like a pointless side hobby now. But it's not like they will give a damn if they never spoke to your ass again. There's literally millions of loners out there that chase after their sad gimmick, and they know it too. So maybe it's time to call it quits.

At the end of the day, something that's supposed to relieve sexual tension for a socially dense autistic man such as myself, is essentially just grinding my gears, and it's feeling like a pointless side hobby now. But it's not like they will give a damn if they never spoke to your ass again. There's literally millions of loners out there that chase after their sad gimmick, and they know it too. So maybe it's time to call it quits.

User Banned (3 Months): Downplaying sexual assault allegations, history of inappropriate sexual commentary

The allegations were first aired by Twitter user @milkievich, who posted a thread where she claimed White's group of friends would throw parties where they would "explicitly invite women they thought were hot so they could get them drunk and high enough to have sex with them

So basically the same as every party in the history of the world?

Haven't read the twitter posts so there may be other stuff, but just judging by this quote it seems ridiculous.

Yeah you did. And this is a highly similar case. The high school teacher gave a class on freedom of expression and told beforehand that students could leave the class if they found it offensive. The person making the allegations about hate wasn't in class and later confessed to have made it up.

It amazing how this is explicitly a point made in the movie, that humans are less thaning the bugs, humans think they are superior, much smarter and more advanced then these silly insects, only to be proven wrong multiple times.

And yet a ton of posters continue to think the bugs are some inferior race and repeat the propaganda, just a totally missed point.

"How could this multi planetary species that manages to do so biologically possibly manage to strike Earth halfway across the galaxy without computers" is just a wild conclusion after you see the mighty human space fleet get absolutely devastated by the bugs in their first encounter because they think the same thing about "random" things coming from the surface, then a large portion of the end of the movie focusing on the brain bugs which do the strategic planning and information for the bugs.

Exactly.

The way people are completely missing the point and are dangerously edging real-life conspiracy theories is making me uneasy.

Fire Emblem chases what's popular in anime styles. Always has, always will. Right now, Vtubers are hot, so we get a game with character designs by someone who drew several Vtubers. It is what it is. It could be much worse.

And if players such as yourself keep being apologetic about that, it will be much worse in due time.

Though I feel we're still at an age where we're very concerned about representation, but the blatant sexualization of women and children is totally fine. Remind yourself that the whole "Vtuber" thing is even a thing at all, because the Internet has reached such an actual insane level of objectifying of female content creators that actually nothing short of a literal perfect anime model will suffice.

That is the culture being catered to here. If that's where you want to see Fire Emblem go, then hey fair fucks. I'm not a fan of the series myself so I'm good, but that's not the type of thing I ever thought the FE fandom enjoyed.

A social media campaign against Paty was linked to his subsequent murder.[2] One of Paty's students had alleged that in a class on freedom of expression, he had shown his students Charlie Hebdo's 2012 cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad, despite the fact that she was absent from the class that day.[3][4][5] She alleged that one of the cartoons portrayed an image of Muhammad naked with his genitals exposed.[6][7] Since then, ten people have been charged with conspiring with and assisting the killer, including an imam, a parent of a student, and two students at Paty's school.[2][8]

more details from Wikipedia

Paty taught a moral and civic education course in early October 2020 on freedom of expression, in accord with the French national curriculum.[43] He showed some of his teenage students a caricature of Muhammad from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo during a class discussion about freedom of speech.[3][4][5] Before showing the caricature, Paty had invited Muslim students to leave the classroom if they wished.[5] According to one student, he had previously shown these cartoons as part of the discussion every year since the Charlie Hebdo shooting in 2015.[44]

...

According to some sources, Paty showed two cartoons to his students, one of which portrayed Muhammad naked[23] with his genitals exposed,[6] although accounts differ on precisely what was presented in the classroom.[45]

Brahim Chnina,[46] a female student's father, accused Paty of disseminating pornography to students and filed a criminal complaint with the police.[47][48] Paty responded by filing a complaint of defamation.[47] Chnina claimed on YouTube and Facebook that Paty had displayed an image of Muhammad nude; he named Paty, and gave the school's address.[49][50] He encouraged other parents to join him in action and mobilise against the teacher, whom he described as a thug.[5][51][52]

The Grande Mosque de Pantin published a video on its Facebook page a week before the murder. Abdelhakim Sefrioui [fr], the imam of the mosque, a member of the Conseil des imams de France, and an Islamist militant known to French anti-terrorism police,[44][53] accompanied the parent in his protest against the teacher in front of the school for showing the caricatures and demanding to meet the school's principal.[54] Sefrioui called the teacher a "thug" in a video (French: voyou[54]), while denouncing the administration of the college. He demanded the teacher's exclusion from high school with the rectorate. The term "thug" had been repeatedly used by the parent Brahim Chnina earlier. The videos were taken down in the hours after the murder.[55]

Chnina also filed a complaint with the school, and encouraged people to protest at the school.[23] A meeting was held between the head teacher, the teacher, and an official from the education authority.[5] Chnina additionally filed a legal complaint about Paty's lesson, leading the teacher to go to the local police station accompanied by the principal.[5] Paty told investigators he could not understand the complaint because Chnina's daughter was not in class on the day Paty showed the cartoon.[5] In March 2021, Chnina's daughter, known as "Z", admitted she had been suspended from school due to truancy since the day prior to Paty showing the cartoons, and, as such, she had not been in the classroom that day. Instead, she made up the cartoon story to appease her father. According to the Paty family lawyers, however, Brahim Chnina was aware that his daughter had been expelled before the cartoon incident.[56][57]

On 16 October 2020, a week and a half after Paty's freedom-of-speech class, Anzorov, having been driven to Paty's school by an alleged accomplice, waited outside the gates and asked a number of students to point out the teacher.[58][23] He paid two students, aged 14 and 15, around €300 to identify Paty; the two then waited with Anzorov for two hours until they sighted Paty leaving.[59] A Friday, it was the last schoolday before a two-week holiday.[60] Anzorov had told them he intended to "hit" and "humiliate" Paty; according to France's chief terrorism prosecutor, Jean-François Ricard, in order to "make him apologise for the cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad".[59]

Anzorov then followed Paty as he left the school.[58][23] Using a knife 30 centimetres (12 in) long, Anzorov killed Paty and beheaded him in the Rue du Buisson Moineau in Éragny-sur-Oise[61] near the school where Paty taught, at approximately 5:00 p.m.[23][5][62] In addition to decapitating Paty, Anzorov inflicted a number of wounds to his head, abdomen, and upper limbs.[5][63] Witnesses told police they heard the killer shout "Allahu Akbar" (the Takbir) during the attack.[22][64]

Minutes after the murder, an account named @Tchetchene_270 (French: Chechen 270), identified by prosecutor Jean-François Ricard as belonging to Abdoullakh Anzorov, posted on Twitter an image of Paty's severed head. The photo was accompanied by the message: "In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, ... to Macron, leader of the infidels, I executed one of your hellhounds who dared to belittle Muhammad, calm his fellow human beings before a harsh punishment is inflicted on you."[5][45][65][66]

Then they wonder why nobody participates in “Israel is bad, bullying Palestine” threads. Even if everyone agree in something, you call out a protected member (neither the teacher or the Charlie Hebdo staff deserved get murdered), get a ban and the staff will label you as the problem.

But I guess you could say banning discussion here on era isn’t some hypocrisy, it’s us actually having some power and say in not having to compromise and “be reasonable” for once, and that is fair and healthy.

So close.....

I think you’re right. I don’t disagree with any of that.

I spend a lot of time with the mentality that it’s not reasonable to judge people who are otherwise good but won’t give up HP, but I’m asking myself why am I always expected to be the reasonable one? But how then should I feel about the people I know who are in that boat? I feel like I have to give them that benefit of the doubt, but if I do it for them it should apply to strangers like here on era, and I get hung up on that. But I guess you could say banning discussion here on era isn’t some hypocrisy, it’s us actually having some power and say in not having to compromise and “be reasonable” for once, and that is fair and healthy.

i just found it ironic you were talking about how people should use the initial meaning of terms, only to immediately turn around and use the coopted and distorted version of a term yourself

To be perfectly honest it does feel like a ptsd response. Obviously not akin to anything a rape victim would feel.
But the idea of latching on to a detail that is ambivalent and possibly out of place, while simultaneously discarding much larger chunks of information from a message does bring up connotations of post trauma. Like a war veteran jumping at the sound of a car engine backfiring. Perhaps that's not at all what's going on when people react so strongly, but I do not intend it offensively in any way.

I've just assumed the decision about an OT lies 100% with them, irrespective of what we say, which is why I haven't bothered to offer my opinion on it. (Besides, I'm not a gamer, so perhaps my input wouldn't be considered all that meaningful anyway.)

Please set me straight if I misconstrue?

User Banned (2 weeks): Inflammatory accusations. Multiple prior bans for antagonizing other members.

Fire Emblem chases what's popular in anime styles. Always has, always will. Right now, Vtubers are hot, so we get a game with character designs by someone who drew several Vtubers. It is what it is. It could be much worse.

And if players such as yourself keep being apologetic about that, it will be much worse in due time.

Though I feel we're still at an age where we're very concerned about representation, but the blatant sexualization of women and children is totally fine. Remind yourself that the whole "Vtuber" thing is even a thing at all, because the Internet has reached such an actual insane level of objectifying of female content creators that actually nothing short of a literal perfect anime model will suffice.

That is the culture being catered to here. If that's where you want to see Fire Emblem go, then hey fair fucks. I'm not a fan of the series myself so I'm good, but that's not the type of thing I ever thought the FE fandom enjoyed.

But the literal perfect anime waifu is actually a 1000 year old dragon so your arguments are invalid

They’re trying to “manipulate” the initial meta score I see. Hope it backfires badly.

Reviewers will have to just buy a copy if they want to review it. Anyway, this is such a nothingburger issue, I'm sure there are tons of reviewers that don't receive review codes for various games from various companies and we don't hear about it. The only reason this is such a "big" deal is because so many people want this game to fail because a woman "talks too much".

First off...why?

Second, the middle tweet is another account with like 4 followers, lmao

Anyways he's already marked as anti-trans in shinigami eyes and blocked by either megablock or the blocklists I'm subscribed to that blocks bigoted pieces of shit, so it's already apparent he's one of them...does it really matter how some guy is being a dumbass?

I forget that plug-in exists but how do they know what bigots are posting if they have them blocked with said plug-in

[benjipwns]

People who use those plugins and blocklists are such paranoid weirdos.

On a similar note:

I spend a lot of time with the mentality that it’s not reasonable to judge people who are otherwise good but won’t give up HP, but I’m asking myself why am I always expected to be the reasonable one?

The company I work for removed all mention of Harry Potter from team building exercises and internal presentation packs because they're aware of the association it brings. That meant something to me, and the few other gender diverse people working here. I don't think asking people who are allies to avoid playing the Harry Potter game is a step too far, and I don't think perpetually tip-toeing around people's feelings when it comes to showing that is something a minority should constantly have to do. Acting like expressing some level of judgement for people continuing to fawn over the IP is some catastrophic cannon-shot to their soul is tiring. It's putting more weight on the feelings of people wanting to play a game guilt-free than those who have to see others fawn over an IP directly tied to the push for the removal of our rights and ability to safely live as ourselves, and it isn't by accident that that's how it often shakes out.

Resetera as an entity is in a position of influence. Their taking a continued stance (the no-promotion rule has been in place without issue for awhile now) in this regard would work to further emphasise what Rowling is doing at a time where significant portions of the media attempt to sanitise her and distort our issues. This is somewhere that rightfully prides itself on its concerns for minority views, a rarity within the gaming space. So all I'm pushing for is for it to hold by that existing commitment at a time where our voices alone aren't enough to register. I don't expect it to appear on the radar of WB, Rowling, or politicians. This isn't that. It's that I believe it has the potential to register with other people and hopefully make them consider their own involvement with the IP. That I see value in our corner of the internet doing what it can at a time when many others are. That, fundamentally, I don't think she deserves a place within our community for people to fawn over her work at a time when she's openly smug about what the IP allows her to do; spearhead a campaign that works to remove our humanity.

In case you were wondering if they're just as insufferable and insane in real life...

I think you’re right. I don’t disagree with any of that.

I spend a lot of time with the mentality that it’s not reasonable to judge people who are otherwise good but won’t give up HP, but I’m asking myself why am I always expected to be the reasonable one? But how then should I feel about the people I know who are in that boat? I feel like I have to give them that benefit of the doubt, but if I do it for them it should apply to strangers like here on era, and I get hung up on that. But I guess you could say banning discussion here on era isn’t some hypocrisy, it’s us actually having some power and say in not having to compromise and “be reasonable” for once, and that is fair and healthy. Idk. (I don’t necessarily expect an answer, I’m just thinking out loud)

To add to this and give my own perspective, I don't see it as hypocrisy or giving certain people special treatment for not being as harsh on them as we are here. We HAVE to compromise. We can choose what areas to compromise for our own sake, and what areas we stay vigilant. I made a post several pages ago about this dilemma I was having, but I don't feel like I'm giving people in my life special treatment as if they're exempt, I'm practicing self-care because frankly, I'm fucking tired of all this and constantly engaging with it is just gonna be poison to my mental health. I wish I could push back harder, but I do not have the mental capacity to be fighting 24/7, so I pick and choose my battles to avoid hurting myself.

"Without issue" meaning some dudes getting banned because they said "hey this looks good" in some playstation thread. So very reasonable.

It's not. There are alot of people shitting on the game at every moment and they want the game to fail and using this as justification of anything negative.

There's nothing wrong with waiting for reviews and should square give copies out earlier. sure that would be great but it doesn't seem like they are so people should just wait and see.

Have you seen any of the forspoken threads in the last year? There’s clearly some unjustified hatred towards this game.

The confirmation bias is strong in this thread.

That said I feel for the devs. The PR and marketing for the game has not been great with many unforced errors on their end. Like as if those teams are purposefully trying to tank the game. I know I would not be thrilled with the marketing and PR if I was working on the dev team.

Which is a shame because everyone who has gotten their hands on the game are kinda singing the games praises and having a good time with the game. Hell, many of the impressions from people who got it early say they are enjoying even the story a ton and intrigued with the world and lore.

Reviewers will have to just buy a copy if they want to review it. Anyway, this is such a nothingburger issue, I'm sure there are tons of reviewers that don't receive review codes for various games from various companies and we don't hear about it.
