Got a woman fired for a petty spat he has with the CEO. Amazing.

It's amazing how little self reflection these people have. Revealing that all of this only happened because you have a personal conflict with the company over some benign shit only makes you look worse.

Edit: wow he's actually mad that the CEO of that company DMd him on twitter to ask what the issue is. What a psycho

If there's anything good about American police, it's that they show up

You can count on them to do something.

In France, they don't show up when you call them and can be very frustrating. Other times, they say sorry we can't do anything about that.

Or if your laptop or phone is stolen, it's always please know in advance we won't do anything about it, we'll just register your complaint.

Most of the time they're useless...


I'm basing this on what I've read or seen online. I've never been to the States.

Sorry it's just gotten me thinking about police in general. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. You can close this thread.

The death penalty's existence is another tool of inequality though. Black folks are far more likely to get put to death while innocent than white folks. It's a little contradictory to be rightfully mad about Tyre's death while simultaneously upholding a custom that ensures the same outcome regardless.

Constructive thread:

It very much feels like trans people are being told to shut up and not speak up about topics, games, people, etc. who are harmful.

How?

Certain types of threads, like on OT for a new game, are promotional by their nature. It feels like we are being stripped of the means to protect ourselves from this place becoming somewhere where projects that will financially support the harm of trans folks are allowed to be promoted.

What? How?

I simply don't understand why we are not allowed, as trans people, to be able to weigh in on topics that can actively harm us.

Again, what? From where did you get the notion that the very people for the protection of whom this decision was made can't speak on it?
 

And the level of hostility at the topic even brought up only seems to further push a divide between staff and posters here. Obviously in this case the threads have been prohibited but in the future we as trans people will no longer be allowed to have a voice and that feels fundamentally wrong and discriminatory.

You're confusing me, frankly. Our LGBT+ and mainly the trans mod staff had THE most weight and say behind this decision, beside the community. I'm lost on your perspective.

LMAO, so they have a meltdown because they’re told not to discuss Hogwarts legacy despite wanting it to be banned, I think this is even more glorious than if the game was allowed to be discussed

Has the new Black Panther apologized for her transphobia? Didn’t think so. Where is the ban on all MCU talk going forward until she apologizes? Why was there a thread celebrating the new Ant Man looking at a big opening weekend? Also, Coogler wrote the BP movie, meaning he doesn’t care about transphobia either. Any movie of his going forward should be banned from being discussed.

Or they don't even engage with the supplementary material and instead just kind of ASSOCIATE with the fandom.

Personally most people I know who like HP do so on the most superficial level rather than engaging with the franchise on any sort of intellectual level. It’s treated more like transformers or a popcorn movie.

Don't you see!  Pac-Man was about anti-exclusionary TERF's and an ironic pro-capitalist message during the Cold-War!  Why can't other be as smart as me and see the inherent anti-slavery message blatantly used.

In the same breath they call them silly children's books and also deeply troubling allegories worth of grad level deep reading.

pac man is a commentary on the endless desire to consume under capitalism while being chased by the ghosts of those we've wronged

capitalism is inherently kept complex and "mazelike" to keep us confused and pacified (notice: PAC-ified); we may think we can leave its clutches by exiting to the left, only to come right back in on the right

it is all around us, and we cannot escape it until we are all equally in turn consumed

ms. pac man both reinforces the gender binary and traditional gender roles, notice she is even denied the basic respect to be known as ms. pac WOman

Everyone wanting to discuss the TERF game should just come out as trans (Scotland says it's ok to just decide these things at any time). Then they can discuss it to their heart's content.

Constructive thread shenanigans:-

The visceral of fear losing temporary access to her account :

Just to add, since I don't want to touch on the ban discussion for fear of being mistaken for either relitigating a ban or advocating for a ban, that you're missing the fact that what people also didn't like was him replying to a chud posting the SJW screaming gif with 'reee'; an ableist meme mocking people with autism.

While I'm here though, worth asking for clarity over the rule as to whether it extends to submitting a ticket suggesting a source be added to the banned list. Or whether it was just the mentioning of having done so in a public thread, thus prompting discussion on it, that was the sole cause of the ban.

Again, I'll make clear I'm not relitigating the ban or advocating for one. Just asking for clarity over the rule as I didn't get a response when I asked before.

You won’t be banned for submitting a ticket about a source.

(…uh, just don’t always expect the quickest response. Real life is kicking a lot of our asses right now. 😬)

In response to Ra:

As I explained, I feel that the fact that trans members of this forum are not allowed to discuss not platforming things that are doing tangible harm to us is a problem, the ban on talking about this is my key issue. If we can't even speak up about whether or not we feel something that is causing us harm should be allowed here then how do we actually have a voice?



The thing is I was referring to the community specifically and not the mods/staff. I would love to be able to believe that the mods will act in our best interest but frankly because of past incidents, that we are largely not allowed to talk about, it's difficult to trust that this will happen consistently. A lot of trans folks left this site because of the way things were handled in the past and I personally don't feel that things have improved on that front enough to just have faith that the right decisions will be made, especially when the community is not allowed to weigh in when something is platformed here. I get that mods/admins don't want to have this discussion about everything with everyone, but as trans people we are certainly in a different position than most, our lives are actively harmed by the money that goes to some of these projects. I don't well that it is unreasonable for us to have a voice here. And I really wish people in this thread were more willing to engage with this instead of outright dismiss it.

I thought they were talking about the bans in the Rowling thread. Someone got banned for suggesting a transphobe no longer be allowed as a source, with B-Dubs showing a lot of hostility towards the subject. I can see how someone could read that and be worried that trans people (or other minorities) are no longer allowed to speak out against other bigots being promoted on Resetera (without fear of being banned themselves).

It's not any one specific incident alone but this is definitely a part of it. I wish that people didn't get hit with bans for advocating against sources that are harmful to trans and autistic folks. And I wish that mods could be more measured when responding to rule breaking cases like this. Frankly I feel like if I or many other posters posted in that tone we would be banned for it.

Some ass kissing:

He wasn‘t hostile, it has been a long time policy that he has repeated many times that requesting staff to ban something is not allowed

He also said in the thread that HL discussion is not allowed, as is with anywhere else on this forum. You can‘t have pick and choose policies for discussion bans, this just creates a moderation nightmare

you can always talk about why some person/thing is problematic. the mods just don't want every thread tangentially related to <problematic thing> to get derailed by people demanding the forum ban it and/or complaining about how it isn't banned already. trust that if it's bad enough they'll take the appropriate action.

Again, it's not just what she says. She uses the money and clout to directly affect the lives of trans people. The equality laws that were popular with the public a few years back that ended up not getting voted on, Rowling spearheaded that. The recent Scotland bill England trying to block, protests and activism to not allow the law spearheaded by Rowling. Never mind the studies and statistics from organizations for trans youth like mermaids showing the uptick in suicides and self harm directly correlating to her and how it affected former fans. And don't forget she is also behind why a lot of these groups like mermaid have lost funding and been removed from help line infi and other resource links for public health.

It's not just words she has said, full stop. And if you know and support her the best you can be is not transphobic but also no pro trans, but most likely transphobic. And no need for trans person said, trans person thinks, we're not a monolith and there are self haters. Buck Angel, Blair White, and Jenner exist, very publicly self hating and community damaging, so no just because a trans person said it doesn't mean it's automatically okay. Rowling supports and defends and gives platforms to multiple people that have outright advocated for genocide and said all trans people should be murdered so yeah, buying the game means at best you don't give a shit about trans people at all, but most likely are transphobic, and unless it's for some kind of valid research that includes any trans person who buys it. If it comes down to fighting for our lives I don't think the trans person that still supports her is someone I want having my back, good way to get a knife in it.

People who keep regurgitating that they’re not a monolith suspiciously start sounding like they are, in fact, part of a monolith

I would love to be able to believe that the mods will act in our best interest but frankly because of past incidents, that we are largely not allowed to talk about, it's difficult to trust that this will happen consistently.

They banned discussion of a fucking wizard video game solely because one community demanded it. Nobody else on the site had a say in it and was promptly banned if they didn’t toe the line. What other “community” are you talking about?

This all slowly adding up to mods caving in and letting them talk about the game and Kyuuji playing the game 

The mods gave them EXACTLY what they wanted. And now, just six days later, they are inching towards the inevitable tantrum because they can’t talk about it. It’s just so goddamn predictable. That JK thread wont leave the top of page one once the game is out, meanwhile everyone else can’t discuss the game. The fucking audacity to play the guilt trip card anyways is insane.

They really really really wanna discuss Hogwarts 

They’re the dog who caught the car at the moment. They wanted discussion banned, but only after it came out and they had a chance to make a spectacle about how people on a gaming forum wanted to talk about a big new game.

If showergate didn't happen, do you think this is what would have been the logical conclusion to where Neogoof was heading? Or do you think the shower elf would have been able to somewhat course correct?

The freaks have been given much more licence to rule the roost on Reeeeesetera.

Nah, he didn’t have any intention of course correct when Amorim was exposed as a pedophile and mods initially banned any mention of it.

Are REEEsetEra really considered a "major gaming forum" nowadays, or are these news sites just trying to get some attention with those headers?

It is a really big forum , probably the biggest behind neogaf

 

let's look into this

neogaf:



era:



now let's look at ignboards.com:



uh...



giantbomb doesn't offer forum statistics, but it has nearly as many threads as era:



rllmukforum.com, an alternate universe neogaf that no one has ever heard of:



alright, it's on the smaller side, but respectable

let's stretch the definition of gaming and include tabletop RPG forums

enworld.org:



1.5x the users of neogaf (with a fraction of the messages, because grognards type up long screeds instead of just posting "lol")

giantitp.com:



again more users than neogaf

rpg.net:



a strong effort

honorable mention, smaller but trucking along: rpgcodex with 8M messages and 24k users

looking further abroad from gaming, infamous forum bodybuilding.com



is that member count correct what the fuck

newgrounds:



more threads than gaf

somethingawful:





there is also certain other forum which has nearly double the users of resetera and is catching up to gaf

finally, the incalculable heavy hitters:

reddit is not a traditional forum, but I'd say close enough, random headline topics with replies sorted under them from random users on any subject imaginable in its "subforums"

As of December 2022, Reddit ranks as the 20th-most-visited website in the world and 6th most-visited website in the U.S.

Reddit had 430 million monthly active users in 2020.

steam has traditional forums for every game on the service which is actually massive, and very easy to find specific help for any game at a moment's notice

Steam has 120 million monthly active users.

gamefaqs forums still exist and continue to fulfill a similar purpose, it has no central forum statistics but its politics board has 6.8 million posts alone, PS4 board has 8.5 million posts, Nintendo Switch 4.5 million...these are individual on-topic boards, not even beginning to touch the boards for every single game

gamefaqs had about 620k user accounts as of 10 years ago



so I'd say it's just a matter of not being fucking aware of the broader web landscape

Hello everyone. I’ve just spent 25 hours within the week to study for my computer science computer architecture exam at a popular online university. I missed exactly 2 questions to mark the test as failed. I’m defeated and am already behind on starting my other classes I intended to jump on tomorrow.

I think the issue is that I stayed up until 2 AM studying and I couldn’t sleep in because I had 10k run this morning. I’m exhausted but tomorrow I get back to studying it all again.

Students, please fill out the poll with your real life exam passes and fails this month. Seeing the fails will make me feel better and seeing the passes will fill me with sadness akin to seeing others on Reddit finishing my comp architecture  course within 2 weeks in which it’s week 7 for me.

Hear me out here.

Forspoken is the sickest wizard game I've ever played. Straight up Dr Strange meets the fucking Avatar.

Buy that instead.

 

Trying to dick ride Forspoken because perceived marginalized oppression.

Also, Dr Strange meets Avatar is like “Dull meets Dullest”.

How do indigenous users feel about such a racist IP as Avatar being used to promote an alternative, Hmmm?

Again, they don't want to be treated equally. They want extra rights/privileges. When they said they wanted HL banned, they meant everyone else should be banned from speaking about the game, not them. They should be allowed to talk about HL all day everyday in their special little stalker-ish JKR hate thread.

"What? We are just like every other user and can't talk about HL?!? I feel threatened and unsafe!!! Genocide!!!"

well yeah, it's reparations for thousands of years of mistreatment

you have to treat them like kings queens for a while just to start approaching the point where you could say things are equal

My mom and one of her cousins were sharing stories about Navajo boarding schools over dinner.

It sickens me that they would use a real event like that and compare it to something like this.





Just to score a cheap shot against Cameron.  It's a version of this.

We literally have had indigenous people come into these threads and say that the nonstop cheerleading of this franchise makes them feel ignored.

Oh no, they're well aware it exists. They just don't post there because its "toxic."

There are also plenty of natives that don't post there because it's "toxic."
