Lots of people pointed why this person was using terf talking points but i want to focus on this

"biological women's category" is straight up terf 101 because it implies trans women are either cyborgs or not really women.
Trans women are biological. Trans women use biological hormones to biologically change their biological bodies to match biological standards.

Using "biological women" instead of "cis women" is a classic terf strategy

“Uncle”, say what you really mean, TERF :ufup

The thing where they take a term that's not the preferred term for something, then totally change its meaning so they can shriek TERF at anyone who will listen is maddening and part of why trans Era is literally never worth engaging with. "Biological female" as a saying has been replaced by AFAB, but it doesn't mean cis any more than AFAB does. Cis women are a subset of biological women, but someone referring to biological women participating in women's sports can mean the superset of nonbinary, trans men (like that Harvard swimmer who ultimately chose to compete on the men's team to be able to take testosterone, but prior to starting that was on the women's team), and cis women.

Like try to grandstand about people forgetting trans men in the conversation about sports, but then also take a term that technically includes them (albeit one that is frowned upon) and redefine it to leave them out so it can once again be solely about trans women.

Their feelings are paramount. As far as they are concerned, fuck "allies" that don't grovel and go along with their every whim, and cis women can piss off if they don't let them take over and redefine women's spaces.

They are extreme narcissists.

Honestly, i think a lot of people have a differing opinion on this topic, but are afraid to voice / type it in this thread.

I'm progressive as fuck but i don't agree with letting trans women compete in biological women's category.

The fact that to a LOT of people insinuate or straight up say this immediately equates me to JK Rowling or fucking Matt Walsh shows why we can't have a level headed discussion about this.
I havent looked at the science of this so i have no opinion. But i know better than to ask questions about topics like this on era so i'll just read them and if someone posts something that answers my questions great and the other questions i might have are just gonna have to stay unanswered.

Quote from: bionic
Thank you for not looking at the science or articles that have been posted by trans people in this thread to educate yourself, and instead feeling persecuted and silenced. Would you describe yourself as “worried about being cancelled”?

He says with no reflection in a thread where posters are getting perm’d in a heartbeat if they even ask a question, much less disagree.

As to the ‘science or articles’ mentioned, which would suggest there are multiple?

https://www.cces.ca/sites/default/files/content/docs/pdf/transgenderwomenathletesandelitesport-ascientificreview-e-final.pdf

That’s it. Yup, only link… a review of existing scientific literature done by a ‘research hub for gender+ equity in sport’.

It’s pretty predictable in its screed, especially on the conclusion. Yet, even in their section on Biological Considerations…

Quote
Biological data in this area are severely limited. In fact, an illuminating place to start is to note that, “to date, there have been no prospective studies investigating the changes in athletic performance in transgender athletes after hormonal transition” (Harper et al., 2021, p. 1), and many pertinent biological questions remained unexplored. The data that do exist often come with methodological concerns, and/or are limited in their ability to generalize to elite transgender athletes.

Yeeeaaaah, so a scientific literature review where the literature is near absent.

 :science

And that is what they are using for their ‘science’.

At least they finally posted a study but also happily ignore the parts where the study notes that muscular etc. remains stronger in trans women. This study just comes to the conclusion that this is in line with the variations in cis athletes which I find arguable. The study also feels like it has a pretty strong bias, for example complaining that biomedical studies are valued more than social science studies which... seems like completely logical to me when we're talking about biological effects? Or am I misunderstanding what social science is?

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia

Quote from: Three Seagrass
Honestly? I understand where she's coming from. Transgender people don't need to be centered in every single conversation. For example, if we're talking about abortion, it's okay -- and, I'd argue, the right thing to do -- to say "women" and "women's rights." And "women need access to abortion." And then, when appropriate or called for, expand that conversation to include trans men and non-binary people. Because it's ten-year-old girls that are being raped in this country and being forced to give birth. Ten-year-old girls.

And don't think I haven't noticed that, when it comes to "inclusive" language like this, it's only women who are having their place in their conversation subsumed by other people.

Predictable :lol
Why a duration pending on transphobics? :lol Just perm tranphobes ffs

Not a single one.

Even the ones I liked originally were sub-par to the original voice actor, once I got to experience that version.

This includes Anime, Movies, Shows, and yes...Games.

German show? Original voices are better
Russian movie? Original voices are better
Japanese media content or game? 本物声のほうが上手です
English media content or game? Original voices are better
Spanish media content or game? Las voces originales son mejores

Disclaimer: In my opinion. Of course.

I am going to make this short but sweet: Boredfrom knows that many, if not most, unregenerate flakes rely solely on emotion, not reason and evidence, to determine what is real and what is fake. Boredfrom exploits this knowledge and those people in his incessant quest for power. When writing this letter, I had originally intended to segregate the pure errors of fact in Boredfrom’s comments from the assertions of questionable judgment where there could be room for dispute. I eventually decided against that approach because I must ask that Boredfrom’s trained seals demand a thoughtful analysis and resolution of our problems with Boredfrom. I know they’ll never do that so here’s an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to infantilize and corrupt the general public. I might have been dreaming, but I believe I once heard Boredfrom admit, sotto voce, that he’s trapped in a vicious cycle. The more opposition to his utterances he faces, the more appalling he becomes. The more appalling he becomes, the more opposition to his utterances he faces. Now there will, no doubt, be beastly schizophrenics out there who will ask, So what if his faithfuls spatter my reputation? That won’t affect me. Such crippled thinking is the best example there is as to why reality has just dealt another harsh blow to the alternative narrative that he has constructed around his story that destructiveness and impulsive violence are ennobling traits. It is now evident to just about everyone that Boredfrom labels anyone he doesn’t like as insensate. That might well be a better description of him.

Of course, there is a lot of debate on this subject, but the best scholars think that Boredfrom wonders why everyone hates him. Apparently, he never stopped to think that maybe it’s because when I was younger I wanted to anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good. I still want to do that, but now I realize that I am troubled by his constant exaggerations and half-truths. Now let us consider a more concrete example of Boredfrom’s desire to provoke terrible, total, universal, and merciless destruction. In particular, think about the way that Borderfrom recently stated that peace is merely the absence of opposition to savagism. What’s notable here is the clear implication that Borderfrom intends to blame all of our problems on the poor, beleaguered, taxpaying drudges of society who are only one paycheck away from the poorhouse. Were he to do that, I would have to say that we ought to ponder the lessons and examples of the 19th century’s abolitionist movement. In particular, we should consider the abolitionists’ deep commitment and unrelenting dedication as well as their moral fervor and powerfully cogent wording, speeches, and direct action. I, speaking as someone who is not an irritating, cruel mattoid, propose we expand upon those and make the associated lessons and guidelines usable in today’s world, emphasizing that the simple ability to invite all the people who have been harmed by Boredfrom to express and assert their concerns in a constructive and productive fashion is a pons asinorum that Boredfrom may never cross. There are important lessons in that, even apart from another reminder that I can’t make heads or tails of Boredfrom’s slurs. I mean, does he want to take credit for others’ accomplishments, or doesn’t he?

I have never encountered a more systematic assault upon the individual liberty, dignity, privacy, and autonomy of ordinary citizens than that which is promoted by Boredfrom’s hypersensitive writings. Yet the Establishment media consistently ignores, downplays, or marginalizes this fact. So who’s crazy? I, or all the temulent cads who contend that Boredfrom has a fearless dedication to reason and truth? Before you answer, let me point out that this is explicitly or implicitly expressed or presupposed in most of the material I plan to present. Get that straight, please. Any other thinking is blame-shoving or responsibility-dodging. Furthermore, we must highlight all of the problems with Boredfrom’s eccentric wheelings and dealings. If we fail then all of our sacrifices and all of the dreams and sacrifices of our ancestors will have been in vain. The key is to realize that Boredfrom is not just complacent. He is unbelievably, astronomically complacent. In closing, I ask that you swear in the holy sanctuary of your soul that you will never stop maximizing our individual potential for effectiveness and success in combatting Boredfrom. That’s how I live my life, and that’s how you should consider living yours.

Constructive shit:

Quote from: Kalik, post: 103142611, member: 29149
can we please a get a sticky or thread detailing exactly what is and isn't permitted...for example I've received several bans recently for things I had no idea weren't allowed...I received a 1 month ban for making a comment about another game comparing it to sales of Hogwarts Legacy...I had no idea that the game was banned plus I wasn't even specifically talking about the game itself...recently I posted a new thread about Cyberpunk 2077...I had no idea that all CP2077 was banned and only allowed to be discussed in the main OT thread

another time I joked about PC Master Race...another ban...there needs to be a way of knowing what exactly is permitted and what is not...this forum seems to have way more rules than most other forums but it needs to be laid out clearly so members know...at the very least warn a member before just outright banning them...there needs to be a better way of dealing with things rather than just hitting the ban button for every single infraction

I don't read every single thread and have no idea about certain things not being allowed etc...how is a person supposed to know these things?

Quote from: Dakkon, post: 103143799, member: 17085
On one hand I totally feel you, and agree that there should be a better, updated rules thread and at no point should anyone get banned or even actioned for something if the rules thread isn't updated for it. You can't expect people to follow rules that aren't put down to paper, users simply don't have an eye on 100% of the forum at all times, esp your Cyberpunk example where the thread litigating that is nowhere near the front page so no one new to these forums is going to know about that.

On the other hand though, I will say there is quite literally a sticky about the wizard game, so if you missed that I'm not really sure how well a more general sticky thread would have helped you for at least that instance.

Quote from: ModCocksuckermax3901, post: 103148023, member: 4989
The situation around wand game has a stickied thread on the main gaming forum, that one is on you. 'Master Race' is nazi terminology, I'd say that one is also on you.

Given you've had an account here since 2017 I find it VERY unlikely you completely missed any and all conversations about CP2077 so, again, I'd say that's on you too.

Quote from: Kalik, post: 103148632, member: 29149
it's these kind of posts that are annoying...so you're saying that I purposely started a CP2077 thread knowing that it wasn't allowed?...I don't read every post or every thread about a game...I've noticed that this forum in particular has a sort of mob mentality...I'll give another example...I actually wrote about this to the Mods appealing a ban

in the Forspoken thread I posted that I didn't like the female protagonist's constant chatiness and running dialogue...another member responded with literally the following post: "we all know the real reason why you don't like her"...implying that it was a sexist or racist reason when literally nothing in my post or posting history stated anything close to that...multiple other members then also chimed in agreeing with the poster and complained to the Mods...I literally stated in that same thread that it had nothing to do with sexism/racism...I get banned for it based on a misinterpretation of my post...in the appeal I even referenced other posts of mine where I said the same thing about the constant running dialogue and chatiness of the main character in another game- Biomutant- to prove that it had nothing to do with sexism or racism and was based purely on the fact that I hate characters who talk too much

that is not an exaggeration at all and is exactly what happened...I even appealed the ban and complained to the Mods but all I got in return was a 2 word reply- Appeal denied

so if a member posts something and another member totally misinterprets that post and gets others to agree with him/her and complains then the Mods without even looking at the original post in question objectively will just ban the person?...how on Earth is this even remotely fair?...which is what I mean by a mob mentality...50 people can complain about a post...it doesn't mean that the post in question is wrong

Quote from: Plinkerton, post: 103149853, member: 30736
I agree the rules need updating, but I just don't see how you can be a member here and not have picked up on some of this just by osmosis. One game's ban has been a stickied thread at the top of the gaming forum for months and has been discussed at length, and the other has had discussion restricted to its OT for over two years now.

Also, if you feel you need guidelines in place to be told that invoking Nazi terminology as part of platform warring is wrong, I honestly don't know what to tell you.

Literally just proving this guy’s point :lol

I honestly think there's an intentional effort by bad actors to destroy language. It takes less effort to fuck up the discourse around a word until it becomes meaningless gibberish than it is to actually promote more thoughtful and beneficial use of language.

If a vulnerable group says they're being abused, the people abusing them try to take their words and distort them for themselves, because for them language is not about communicating ideas. They just see language as a tool, a bludgeon they can use to beat things down to promote their own interests, and if they see someone else wielding a tool they just want to take it away from them and keep it for themselves.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't know and probably don't have access to the post regarding the banning of the word "cunt"... but I believe a large reason for banning that word was because it was misogynistic and degrading to women.

Did the post ever mention that it would also be degrading to men with vaginas? Or did they make a bigoted post without even realizing it?

to be honest, I have to agree with those other posters. if you've had an account on Ree since 2017, it should be blatantly obvious what opinions are allowed to be shared and which aren't. stop being a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow and just quit posting there like I did instead of feigning ignorance on why you were banned.

one caveat being the "cunt" thing, because that one really was a rule approved in complete secrecy.

Not a single one.

Even the ones I liked originally were sub-par to the original voice actor, once I got to experience that version.

This includes Anime, Movies, Shows, and yes...Games.

German show? Original voices are better
Russian movie? Original voices are better
Japanese media content or game? 本物声のほうが上手です
English media content or game? Original voices are better
Spanish media content or game? Las voces originales son mejores

Disclaimer: In my opinion. Of course.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia

Quote from: Three Seagrass
Honestly? I understand where she's coming from. Transgender people don't need to be centered in every single conversation. For example, if we're talking about abortion, it's okay -- and, I'd argue, the right thing to do -- to say "women" and "women's rights." And "women need access to abortion." And then, when appropriate or called for, expand that conversation to include trans men and non-binary people. Because it's ten-year-old girls that are being raped in this country and being forced to give birth. Ten-year-old girls.

And don't think I haven't noticed that, when it comes to "inclusive" language like this, it's only women who are having their place in their conversation subsumed by other people.

Predictable :lol
Why a duration pending on transphobics? :lol Just perm tranphobes ffs

Levi’s to Use AI-Generated Models to ‘Increase Diversity

"Lalaland.ai was founded in 2019 in Amsterdam and says it uses “advanced artificial intelligence” to give fashion brands and retailers the ability to create hyper-realistic models of every body type, age, size, and skin tone."

“We believe our models should reflect our consumers, which is why we’re continuing to diversify our human models in terms of size and body type, age and skin color,” the company says, but goes on to explain that working with real people isn’t enough to meet its goals."

"Levi Strauss says that diversity, equity, and inclusion are a “top priority” for the company and says that while AI-generated models are a way to help reach its goals in this area, it’s not the only solution it is using. The company says that over the past year, it has been working to assure that not only its own workforce is diverse, but that those both in front of and behind the camera reflect its “broad consumer base.”

They admitted to lying...the key "witness" admitted to lying..

They retracted the accusation and it was so egregious they awarded him 7 figures in libel court, something that requires a high burden of proof for award.  He went through an investigative process.  This guy went through the ringer, had everyone turn on him, and had his career destroyed over nothing.  You fucking piece of shit.  You people are not the good guys.

Here comes the defense force.


Quote from: Jebusman
That's the part you're missing here, nothing was forced. The court did not make any ruling or force anyone to do anything. They were sent to mediation, mediators do not have the ability to issue binding rulings. Both parties negotiated until they came to an agreement, and then both parties voluntarily agreed to make that agreement legally binding. That agreement would've been entirely focused on the plaintiff's demands of the defendants, as it was essentially "do these things (settle) or this goes to trial". They chose the settlement. We can't ever know why.

We can't ever know why two women who admitted to lying and their witness admitted to lying, to avoid a costly trial where the defense has claimed plenty of evidence for a libel case, would avoid trial.  It's impossible to know why they did this.

Quote from: Jebusman
There was no judge's decision. The case did not go to trial. It went to mediation. A mediator does not have the power to issue legally binding rulings. Both parties worked out an agreement based on the defendant not wanting to go to trial, and it's hard to infer that's because they were "guilty" because of the many reasons why someone wouldn't want to go to trial even if they felt they were in the right. That's why settlements happen all the time, when defending yourself is more costly than just settling.


Quote from: Jebusman
And the thing is that originally that's how this was shut down. His original lawsuit, the defense filed an anti-SLAPP motion and was seemingly successful, but he refiled in a different courthouse where seemingly that wasn't an option. I don't know the specifics of what went down in the previous lawsuit, but the dismissal must not have precluded him from going elsewhere to try again.

Good.  Avellone found a way to catch these liars abusing anti-SLAPP bullshit.

Not every victim wants to re-live their trauma in a public courtroom, much less in a courtroom where their attacker has a right to be in the same room.

Well, good thing that wouldn’t be an issue in this case, since no trauma occurred and the accuser is a liar.

Edit:

Or it’s good this was settled out of court Chris doesn’t have to re-live his trauma in the courtroom with his abuser right there.

Uhhhhh he has a severe mental health disorder
Look, it's been said in other threads, we shouldn't need to go into it in yet another one:

The act of teaming up with a neo-nazi, going on Alex Jones and screaming he loves Hitler, while screaming anti semitic conspiracy theories about how the jews were cancelling him, is not a side effect of his bi polar disorder.

Hes a wealthy man with access to medication and therapy. And it is known that in the past his close friends and family has confronted him about his behaviour and begged him to get help, and every time he has refused.

Even in this weak sauce attempt to walk the past half year of his behaviour back, which could very well just be a cynical way to try and scrape back some kind of good will and build his brand back up without giving any apology, he's only saying he doesn't hate all Jewish people now because one guy made him laugh.

Kanye West isn't acting out like this because of his mental illness, anti semitism and siding with fascists is not a symptom of bi-polar disorder. The fact is that he also holds some really horrific views.

Acting out and believing non reality based ideas is absolutely a side effect of poor mental health. Crazy people say, do, and believe crazy things. Era can be incredibly ableist when it comes to mental health.

After all they haven't gone quite as far yet and proclaimed that "trans women are female".
You need to check out trans Twitter, this theory is very predominant on there. There's some famous (as in NYT quoted) trans women who claim this.

You can post "racist", "sexist" and other "hateful" shit constantly on there and they ban you for a couple weeks, but if you question the cult belief it's an instant permaban even when clearly baited. :jeb

Why do these organizations care so much about Women. If this were truly about being fair then why only target Women? Is there no concern for the protection of Trans Men competing against Cis Men? Shouldn't they also stand up for Men who may have gone through female puberty?

They always treat this as a gotcha for some reason.

No one cares about trans men competing as men for the same reason why nobody cares about boxers choosing to compete in a higher weight class.

Hell, I bet most people wouldn’t care about a cis woman choosing to compete against cis men if she was good enough.
Cis women currently can compete with cis men almost everywhere. None of the professional sports leagues have a female ban, school levels often do not. One place you can see this? There's almost always some girl somewhere on a high school handegg team as a kicker, there's been ones who have made it onto college handegg team, I think one got a scholarship even.

I don't know the specifics of what went down in the previous lawsuit, but the dismissal must not have precluded him from going elsewhere to try again.
This dude sure is issuing a lot of statements when he doesn't understand the law. We can answer his nonsense about agreements not being "legally binding" by asking "who sent it to mediation?" The judge did, you idiot. If there was no agreement it would have come back to court, this means it's legally binding. He says "both parties voluntarily agreed to make that agreement legally binding" which, fucking duh, if they didn't it would have gone to court. Does he think parties can negotiate and agree to a non-legally binding agreement to keep it out of court? What the fuck would even be the point of that? :lol

As for the last one, fucking duh again, yes, if your case is dismissed you're not precluded from trying again especially not trying in a different court on different grounds. Being dismissed on anti-SLAPP grounds doesn't mean you weren't defamed, it means you didn't show it to the court. If he later found out these people were lying, and his team thought they would admit to it, then of course he can bring it to another court because that's an entirely different case.

Also, "they admitted to lying to keep it out of court" isn't remotely a defense because if they weren't actually lying (as they admitted) then they'd win the case! He could be on the hook for their court costs, especially if it was as frivolous as you're alleging!

People need to learn that if they want to critique the system they need to learn about the system. Just because none of the famous leftist critics they think are smart ever bothered to do this does not entitle them to also do it because for one thing they aren't anywhere near as smart as those idiots.

I do wonder, if someone was to have a thread title saying "Abigail Shrier's Hatred towards Trans people is a Vibe" they would be banned immediately.

So it's ok on Era to think hatred towards one group of people is ok but not at others?

And I'm not being "oh won't people please think of the Colonial-era British". I grew up in Ireland which was colonised by the British for about 700 years.

I see a lot of people saying that cases like this make it hard to deal with future similar situations.

I disagree. As a third person with no prior first or third hand knowledge dealing with cases like this one and most others is damn easy.

Don’t take sides. Don’t cheer anyone. These are serious issues.

Respect women that come forward. This shit is hard. No questions asked, respect women that come forward.

Afford men the benefit of doubt. Specially if they are not well know, or if there is not much evidence.

There are some cases that are so overwhelming that the only course of action is to take one of the sides. But they are a minority. Most cases are not as clear cut.

As someone that has been on Era and previously on GAF for a long time the way we dealt with cases like this and specially Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case was fucked up on many levels from beginning to end.

Again, don’t take sides. Don’t cheer up nobody. You don’t know the facts, you don’t know these people.

Respect women, allow men the right to defend themselves.

It shouldn’t be hard.

:cop User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory comparison regarding trans people, previous ban for dismissing representation concerns

Watching this movie for the 100th time and fuck the Brit’s… ever damn time. When their music motif comes on you know it’s the villains
I do wonder, if someone was to have a thread title saying "Abigail Shrier's Hatred towards Trans people is a Vibe" they would be banned immediately.
In 1920, during the British Raj, Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in Adilabad and there abduct Malli, a young girl with a talent for artistry, from the Gond tribe. Enraged by this, the tribe's guardian Komaram Bheem embarks for Delhi to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim man named Akhtar. Elsewhere, the Nizamate of Hyderabad, sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists A. Rama Raju, an ambitious officer in the Indian Imperial Police, to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several pro-independence gatherings where he feigns to support independence.
Not to necessarily agree with this view of Abigail Shrier's positions in her own writing or the merits of the British Empire, but I think the context of the portrayals might be relevant here.

Context? You mean like the Nazis used to defend their views? :social
