Hot damn. Hell must have frozen over for ERA mods to correct themselves so openly so quickly.

The stealth edit to the article has been duly noted and added to the OP. Just as well, the ban has been stricken from the record.

Expected the ban to turn into a warning for the OP being essentially content-free; sort of nice to see them just take the L, albeit with some hefty finger pointing and no actual admission of flawed practices.

Maybe they need to bump the threshold to like 20 mods for a ban to make it more likely shit like this gets caught in advance.

absolutely wild. Are they trying to run interference for him? Like what is the purpose of editing out that part of the paragraph if only to try to make Chapelle look better? What am I missing?
I tweeted at their news director, whose tweet is still up (and was retweeted by Variety), asking for an explanation. Hopefully they say something.

I'm pissed that they would quietly remove this asshole's words just to seemingly make him look like less of a complete fucking moron, on top of it being pretty bad practice for a fucking news publication.

Meanwhile it's probably as simple as someone at variety not verifying whether he actually said this or not on the podcast.

Um, why were mods banning anyway before getting a chance to clarify the situation? Even if you couldn't see proof in the article (and it absolutely was there, I saw it myself earlier), the article isn't a primary source anyway, its quoting a podcast which presumably is still up and could have been reviewed if needed. Just jumping in and swinging bans/edits around without clarifying details or knowing what is happening is not exactly a great look...

“One lady was so mad with the protesters, she picked up a police barricade,” Chappelle continued. “You ever seen one? They look like a bike rack. This bitch picked that barricade up by herself and and threw it at the crowd. I gotta tell you, it’s an amazing feat of strength for a woman.”

Because he can't fathom of other people being oppressed. He's singularly focused on his own particular experience and the idea that trans people are suffering makes him super mad. He doesn't even acknowledge the fact that black trans women have been forerunners for just about every bit of social progress we've had in this country over the past century, he just paints all trans folks with the same brush and writes them all off at once.

It's not hard to find soundalikes out there. They'll be able to recast seamlessly and not have most people notice.

soundalike doesn't also mean "can actually act, understands the characters, and can improv as them with the same spark the original show had"

I want to believe that they did their own investigation, talked with Roiland and decided this was the best for the show…

Not that Tim Heidecker bitched about it to the higher ups and throw him under the bus before know whatever he was guilty or not.

It makes a decentish amount of sense that he would have likely seen JK's tweet, and not India's. I'm presuming JK's reach is (unfortunately) far vaster.

And since it was a screenshot and not a QRT, liking that, instead of going and searching out India's account and liking her tweet, does kinda make sense.

He said PERIOD...doesn't he know that it's not only women who menstruate? And what's with the word MENstruate?

I dunno, with all the errant tweet likes and his refusal to use the more acceptable term "people who bleed vaginally", I just can't trust him any more...and did you know that he once played The Joker? That's pretty sus if you ask me given all the mass shootings that happened in cinemas when that film played.

Sorry Mark, you're done.

Every single remote job has hundreds, if not thousands of applicants. I've applied for everything under the sun and can barely even get an interview, think I've had 3 in total and spoken to a couple of recruiters. Anything entry level has thousands of applicants to compete against and if it's not entry level and is in the field I worked in previously (real estate) it still has hundreds of applicants and there's no reason I stand out more than another. I don't want to work in office, I don't have reliable transportation, I live in a city with shitty public transportation options, Uber is expensive, and I just have very bad social anxiety and vastly prefer the remote work, but this is depressing. Is there any hope at all? I'm not even demanding too much. My minimum pay is only a little bit above minimum wage, I just need enough to survive with my current rent and still the competition is insane.

Actual psychopaths
They're not psychopaths, they're just religious nutters. (Though many do show signs of narcissism and/or sociopathy.) If you've ever wondered while reading about history how some small cult somehow dictated to a much larger population and nobody resisted or even seemingly spoke up against the insanity but just sort of voluntarily acquiesced to their delusional and paranoid nonsense until boiling point, just look at ResetERA.com. Even the more sensible members never question the false premises and illogical statements. I don't begrudge this because they know three or more staff members will agree to ban them for this since staff members openly proclaim many of the conspiracy theories on there. But there's still an overall effect where the most lunatic things said are ignored even while they spread and ratchet all rhetoric in one direction as everybody instead tries to nitpick or level accusations of sinful thoughts at minor offenses that subsequently swallow the entire conversation and are retroactively painted as the reason why they can't have nice things.

One problem is that even the more sensible members mostly accept the premise that the only way to resolve conflicts or disputes is the forced submission of all but one position.

If Roiland didn't retain control of the thing he co-created then he is a distinguished mentally challenged fellow.

I mean, getting drunk and flirting with random fans in the internet is already a shit idea.

I imagine that AS would have tolerated him during his legal saga if wasn’t for Twitter and Reddit doing spamming the old  anti YouTuber tactic of “grooming minors”. Tim Heidecker trying to be Josh Whedon 2.0 probably didn’t help his chances.

me too, Mark

and being referred to by the specific word you want when you're likely not even present is not a human right

otherwise no one would be able to call trump orange cheeto tiny hands 45

Eh, I don’t think that comparison works, specifically in the identity politics sense.

One of the great things about The Last Jedi, the only good Star Wars movie and the greatest cultural achievement in human history, is that Luke dies for no real purpose while not really accomplishing anything so I don't have to feel conflicted about Mark being on thin ice.

how doesn't it work?

the implication is that you feel negatively about yourself, self-doubt, distress etc. when referred to the wrong way, to the point that you might kill yourself

how does name calling not apply the same way? if it's rooted in the idea that "something is wrong with you, you're not normal, your body is different," how is dysphoria (if it is even truly felt) any different from a little person or someone with downs syndrome being called all sorts of disparaging names that highlight his "otherness" his whole life? and if that counts, why not any other sort of otherness, like being a nerd or fat or a fat nerd

and while saying these things is not nice, it's not a matter of human rights

even if you could develop a criteria that clearly separates the two, how could you make it a human right that anyone needs to speak about you any sort of way, or at all?

if I say boredfrom is great, she's the best, I deserve to be dragged into court for violating a human right?

It’s not remote work but if you want to get paid to mostly play with children on the autism spectrum it’s not hard to get a job as a behavior therapist. But you’d probably need transportation.

I’m saying that for people really into progressive and identity politics that is a laughable argument, not that I agree 100% with it.

In one you are just insulting someone and in other you are denying their identities (hence, their humanity).

I didn't hear this bolded part in the episode at all so yeah......My only guess is that they had notes from a previous episode that made it incorrectly into this article. Either way, Variety fucked up. I might start a new thread on another thing he said in the episode that I find just awful....

Do you need a degree in that? Trying to find something that works better myself. I’ve spent so much time as a customer service supervisor in retail. I like helping others but it gets tiresome when it means nothing.

Or post it in the thread about the article rather than telling everyone you might make a thread about another thing from the subject of article you refuse to say in the thread about the article?

edit: he seems to have done this a couple posts on and I'm not sure what the awful part is

insulting someone denies their identity, their understanding of themselves as someone who isn't stupid/annoying/hateful/laughable

in fact denying someone's humanity is a pretty common insult? like calling trump a pig or saying conservatives are subhuman garbage


imagine how fast someone would be banned at era for saying "remember, conservatives are often complex individuals with feelings too"  :lol

 :larry

Saying that a person who has a penis and all of the biological traits of a man is not a woman is not the same thing as calling a black person a monkey or some other insult which insinuates that person is sub-human.

Your gender identity does not relate to your humanity. Your humanity relates to your humanity.

Referring to someone by a different pronoun than they prefer does not deny any one their humanity.
