Thordison: A sino plant or an idiot?

The number of racist Republican asslickers in this thread is pretty surprising. Imagine licking Republican ass. Couldn't be me.

Quote
Biden and Trudeau are known Republicans, are they? I hate Republicans but I hate the CCP even more.

Quote from: Thordison
Why is that, if I may ask? Republicans are actively committing genocide against trans folks and stripping women of their rights in the country you, presumably, live in just to name a few things. Shouldn’t this be far more pressing for you than spy balloons?

I completely understand hating them both

Transgenocide  :snoop

Quote from: Thordison
The average Republican would love a ruler for life and would love to suppress the press except for Fox and other Conservative networks.

I’m not sure that they are more repressive when it comes to individual rights since there are tons of Republicans in my state, including my Governor, that would put me against the wall if they could.

It’s entirely possible, and in my opinion correct, to hate both. I was just curious why you hated the CCP more

Yeah, except they don’t because there is actual opposition (as flawed it is) in your government. The CCP has the luxury of having none.

He's naive like he's a teen or something.

The one barking at people with the anime avatar to at mention her because... check notes "this isn't Twitter" is the idiot. Always the anime avatars.

You are saying that, but they are the first assholes to bitch and moan that don’t like anime and disassociate hard their tastes with what they are saying. Like the dude with the One Piece avatar saying that “I’m not surprised that Justin Roiland is a creep because the humor of Rick and Morty is vulgar”. Or that guy with a Azur Lane character bitching about female character designs being sexually suggestive or looking young.

Samus being trans is really dumb because it is never once implied in any way shape or form that she is anything but a biological woman.
In fact, according to Other M's lore she has feelings for Adam Malkovich to the point that she goes on a dangerous mission after his death to recover his helmet.
In Fusion and Dread she preserves his consciousness and personality in her ship's AI and names it after him.

That's not too bad considering how niche these forums are, man I'm probably retiring early both because I want to as a software dev but also because this stuff is going to turn 1 dev into 4 with AI generated code snippets.

Well I didn't say he was smart.

You'd think they'd moderate this China stanning stuff after so many tripped over themselves for Putin 12-18 months ago... But I think we know why. You get moderated on era on "just the story" mode if you meet certain criteria.

The "fuck you bitch, mention me when we argue" is just so fucking ridiculous I legit laughed when I read it.

Samus is a competent women. Ergo, she must have previously been a man because it is known that Resetera thinks women are incapable of being capable and autonomous.

I actually come from a country that has gone to war with China twice, a place that has had numerous border skirmishes with China, our lands have been annexed. So you telling me I'm a CCP bootlicker for their human rights violations is gold given some of those violations have happened against my own people.

You telling Yeona they're a CCP bootlicker is also gold, given their country was razed and completely annihilated by the US and China jets and bombs.

These spy agencies have been fucking around with each other for decades. Painting China as an invasion threat over a fucking weather balloon and drumming up overblown outrage is not something that just affects the CCP. Trump called it the China virus and it directly led to a meteoric rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes in North America. Literally last month, a Chinese girl was killed in Indiana and you know what the killer had to say about it? "I killed her because it'd be one less Chinese to blow us up."

Do you see how overblown outrage like this can feed into that racist hatred against diasporic Asians? Y'all have literally zero understanding of microaggressions. You see someone whose people have been affected by the US military's actions, who criticizes the US for their hypocrisy because instead of balloons they have sent drones and fighter jets to reduce their countries to rubble, and you automatically assume this person = CCP bootlicker.

Turns out the statute of limitations on criticizing the country that fucked yours over has passed because China sent a fucking weather balloon.

China's human rights violations deserve all the flak, just like the US's human rights violations in South America, in the Middle East, in Vietnam, near the Mexican border, and their human rights violations that were swept under the rug in forgotten wars like the Korean War.

Telling an Asian to shut the fuck up and calling them a CCP bootlicker because you have no lived experience of the realities of life on how shit like this overblown outrage affects them is fucking racist and entitled as fuck

The people at RE more willing to allude this happen to be the first that get mad that westerners are not fan of the CCP.

What Republicans are doing in red states to trans folks and what the entire country has done and continues to do to Native and Black folks fits even the UN's definition of genocide.

We don't need to compare the abhorrent situations. We need to condemn all of them.

But you didn’t do it, you fuck. You also directly compared them.

Kind of gross that one of the first female protagonists in video games is often try to be appropriated by terminally online male to female transexuals for god knows what reason.

I’ve seen it said that it’s to do with how everyone assumed the main character in Metroid was a man until she “came out” as a woman in the ending.

And just for clarity the UN definition of genocide:

To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.

Maybe people are ignoring it, and not giving it steam.

Like you should.

Quote from: pioneer, post: 101184475, member: 117072
Not giving it steam? I think that ship has sailed the moment it’s performed for the annual largest audience possible. This isn’t the same as ignoring some random nazi with 200 followers on Twitter or something. Kanye and his music need to be out of the spotlight entirely and while that’s still not happening anyone opposing the rise of nazism absolutely should NOT be ignoring it.

Quote from: Royalan, post: 101184538, member: 41
No, people should ignore it, because want do you want people to do otherwise?

Are we going to ban the halftime show that happened last night?

Are we going to condemn Rihanna for performing her part of her song?

Are we going to perform rage, and circle the wagons around the person who doesn't post the word "FUCK" in all-caps loud enough?

Sometimes the best thing to do is just ignore something, because what are you going to do otherwise except shame a thread for NOT talking about it?


Quote from: pioneer, post: 101184715, member: 117072
It’s dangerous to be this flippant about an open nazi being promoted on the world’s biggest stage. Nazism needs to be condemned and shut down at every step. I’m not suggesting there’s anything practical the members of this forum can do about it, but it’s gross to see so much discussion of the performance ignoring it. And yes, Rihanna absolutely should be shunned for it because she could have chosen from her dozens of other hits that weren’t written by people who said “I love Hitler” recently.

Quote from: Royalan, post: 101184763, member: 41
I'm a Black Queer person. I know you're not telling me that I'm flippant about Nazism because I'm not flying off the handle over a Rihanna performance.

The problem is looking at this as an issue that needs a solution. Kanye West is Kanye West, nothing Rihanna does changes that, he doesn't need her to be who he is. Because the other thing to point out is that another reason Kanye wasn't mentioned in this thread is because you have to dig into the writing credits to even know he had a hand in those songs.

If you want to talk about it, talk about it. I'm not stopping you. But consider this, the last page of this thread is now more steam than Kanye has gotten on this site in weeks. So short of anything actionable, what are we actually doing other than contributing to the din?

I'm only harping on this because we just had that insightful FD video that left people asking the question, "how can the left be better about not falling into the drama trap?" And one of the answers to that question is stop giving everything air.

This entire post, in light of the way Era is handling Hogwarts Legacy and the forum's obsessive single-minded need to staple a game she had no direct hand in to JKR's transphobia, is just stunning. It's art.

All of the Lights is on Kanye's album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy....and he's rapping on over half the song.  Everyone knows that's his song.  What the hell are you talking about, fat?  Wow, Royalan going as far as lying to protect a nazi.  Crazy how far Resetera has fallen to the alt-right.

The average Republican would love a ruler for life and would love to suppress the press except for Fox and other Conservative networks.

I’m not sure that they are more repressive when it comes to individual rights since there are tons of Republicans in my state, including my Governor, that would put me against the wall if they could.
This guy thinks the powerful in his state seriously couldn't randomly have this completely irrelevant dude they've never heard of killed?

Quote
Trump called it the China virus and it directly led to a meteoric rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes in North America. Literally last month, a Chinese girl was killed in Indiana and you know what the killer had to say about it? "I killed her because it'd be one less Chinese to blow us up."

Do you see how overblown outrage like this can feed into that racist hatred against diasporic Asians? Y'all have literally zero understanding of microaggressions.
I have, which is how I know that "meteoric rise in anti-Asian hate crimes" was actually mostly microaggressions rather than hate crimes and the group that spread the report created most of their statistics by including tweets as "violence" in their report.

China's human rights violations deserve all the flak, just like the US's human rights violations in South America, in the Middle East, in Vietnam, near the Mexican border, and their human rights violations that were swept under the rug in forgotten wars like the Korean War.
Notice here how the non-CCP bootlicker juxtaposes ongoing Chinese human rights violations solely against U.S. actions back to the Korean War in their attempt to grasp at demanding current condemnation equivalency. (Why not farther back like World War II? Or the Spanish-American War? Are they ignoring slavery as part of some kind of anti-Black agenda? Why not current U.S. violations truthful or false?)

What Republicans are doing in red states to trans folks and what the entire country has done and continues to do to Native and Black folks fits even the UN's definition of genocide.

We don't need to compare the abhorrent situations. We need to condemn all of them.
Jamie, pull up Thordinson's posts condemning the actions of the CCP against its own citizens. We can probably fit them all on the screen.

Accidentally clipped this out:

I actually come from a country that has gone to war with China twice, a place that has had numerous border skirmishes with China, our lands have been annexed. So you telling me I'm a CCP bootlicker for their human rights violations is gold given some of those violations have happened against my own people.

You telling Yeona they're a CCP bootlicker is also gold, given their country was razed and completely annihilated by the US and China jets and bombs.
This is amazing logic. Apparently events that happened well before you were born and for various reasons somehow exempt your current actions because everyone should assume that you're irrationally bigoted because of these events? We should ignore that people favor ideologies over nations (see: communists, conservatives, liberals, etc. all handwaving actions of their fellow travelers) because we should know that Asians hold these grudges as part of their being permanently and for generations.

This person expects us to believe this even as they shift the events of the Korean War entirely onto the allies of each side and thus completely exempt the North (and South's response) being willing to destroy the country and slaughter most of the population in order to conquer it. (A position the North still publicly holds by the way!)

The problem is looking at this as an issue that needs a solution. Kanye West is Kanye West, nothing Rihanna does changes that, he doesn't need her to be who he is. Because the other thing to point out is that another reason Kanye wasn't mentioned in this thread is because you have to dig into the writing credits to even know he had a hand in those songs.

If you want to talk about it, talk about it. I'm not stopping you. But consider this, the last page of this thread is now more steam than Kanye has gotten on this site in weeks. So short of anything actionable, what are we actually doing other than contributing to the din?

I'm only harping on this because we just had that insightful FD video that left people asking the question, "how can the left be better about not falling into the drama trap?" And one of the answers to that question is stop giving everything air.

This entire post, in light of the way Era is handling Hogwarts Legacy and the forum's obsessive single-minded need to staple a game she had no direct hand in to JKR's transphobia, is just stunning. It's art.

Questioning black excellence on today of all months :wag

This just dropped in the constructive thread; I don't see it linked anywhere else, I don't get a banner notifying me of the policy change on login, it doesn't look like the FAQs or rules have been updated yet, it doesn't seem to get a dedicated thread--so far just buried in a random thread for users to express criticism to staff, and it doesn't really seem like there's any way of knowing about this unless you travel into the members-only constructive thread.

Quote from: Princess Bubblegum
[staff]As of today we are implementing new policies to curb the use of the word "cunt" on the site.

How
Before we start issuing bans for use of the word, we will be actioning users with warnings (minus threadbans unless deemed appropriate) until April 1st. Said warnings can be seen as a tap on the shoulder in order to prime members for the new guidelines. Then the below banning guidelines will take effect.

Users will be actioned using the following general guidelines (for exceptions see the next section)
- Using it towards a public figure will result in a 1 week ban if said public figure is a man; 2 weeks if the public figure is a woman
- Using it towards another user will result in a 2 week ban, a month or more if the targeted user is a woman

Exceptions
These are merely guidelines and context will dictate if staff go above or below these stated ban lengths. For example, women members of the site will not be actioned as harshly for not following these guidelines. The reason for that is simply the misogynistic use and history of the term, and as such women users have a right to reclaim it. Again it is going to come down to the context of how the word is used.

Why?
This is possibly the most contentious word that has been argued over behind scenes, for years at this point. It generates both reports and argumentative feedback, which we have not been able to handle with consistency. That changes now.

The simple fact of the matter is that the word "cunt" is a misogynistic and gendered slur against women, as well as those perceived/treated by society as women. At best people can and have argued that it's a very emotionally charged expletive. Some will say it isn't a slur or not so charged in certain regions of the English speaking sphere. However after years of internal debate and insight from relevant staff we have finally decided that this is a word we want to see less of on the forum. Previous internal debates led to us being inconsistent in how we have moderated use of the word, which we are rectifying with this policy update. These new guidelines are being carved in the public record for both the benefit you (users) and us (staff). We stand by our decision and this is not up for debate. Feedback is welcome but this is not a dialog for future policy.

"But [word] is allowed and not moderated."
While we are coming down on the use of "cunt" now, this does not mean we will not create nor alter policy regarding other words we find too objectionable or harmful to minorities members of the site. No, this is not an opportunity to suggest words you would like to see actioned on the site. Again, this is a statement of policy and not a dialog for future policy. Inflammatory whataboutism posts will be moderated accordingly.

Sincerely,
ResetEra Staff
[/staff]

The amazing thing is they're so bad at running a forum that the actual content of their decisions doesn't matter; the manner they announce them just reeks of high school lunch room politics.

So will cunts who are perceived/treated by society as women be able to reclaim cunt or will they get banned by the cunts for saying cunt?

They’ve finally got some evidence about the trans genocide. There’s a funeral procession going on in the Joanne eating crackers thread about a 16 year old UK trans girl that got stabbed to death by a 15 year old boy and another girl. Police haven’t confirmed it’s a hate crime yet but that doesn’t matter because it’s 100% a hate crime.

Just a reminder: On average there’s a whopping 25 trans people murdered in the U.S. per year. Almost all of them are domestic violence related, not hate crimes. The number in the UK where this took place is even less.

But they got their pound of flesh with this girl. The genocide is now officially on.

This is actually the first death by violence of a trans person in the UK in the last 4 years, based on their own morbid 'day of remembrance' ritual death collaters

e: and obviously I can't view the JKRwi Farms thread any more, but people on Tw@tter are being spectacularly obnoxious about the tragic death of a fucking 16 year old by bringing up Hogwarts Legacy in the same sentence with line like "OH WHILE WE'RE BEING MURDERED HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR LITTLE GAME BTW YOUR TEACHER DIES AT THE END" which is just... I fucking despair, I really do.

You think it's a coincidence this happened right after Hogwart's Legacy came out? I don't, these kids were definitely influenced by the violent video game and the record setting streaming of it.

There are people literally stating this as a fact and @ing JKR that blood is on her hands.

I assume Kuntuji adds this to their manifesto.

On the base concept of just writing the word off, I kind of get it. There've been a few times people tossed "cunt" at me specifically because the lower-tier gendered insults didn't get a reaction, and in certain circumstances it really is people just trying to be as vile as they can possible be since it's the Worst Word. I get deciding that dealing with trying to divine intent and the context in which each user is using it is probably a fucking nightmare and it's probably easier to just tell people to pick other, more creative insults.

But then you don't come out with an absurd policy that triples down on intent and context for moderation. Women don't, in fact, need to be able to call people cunts on a video game message board to reclaim it. It's absurd to expect every woman on Era to self-identify in advance so that mods know which level of moderation they deserve, and doubly so because it'll mean any time anyone quotes you with a 'he' pronoun some other jackass is going to pop in to shove your pronouns down their throat even if you don't care. If it's a word that it's not okay to call someone, just make it equally unokay to call everyone. Don't continue to give the insult power as some grave unknowable against women.

Has anyone ever written a good explanation on how this "reclaiming" shit is supposed to work if everyone keeps using it as an insult against the same people? The only one I've ever seen make sense is how queer was "reclaimed" in the UK (and only the UK) because they specifically took it from an insult to using it pridefully. (This was before everyone on Twitter decided they were queer.)
