It looks like we have an early contender for dumbest ree of the month -

In the U.K. you cannot carry a weapon. No baseball bat in the car, no carving knife. You can’t go out in public with a screwdriver unless you have a reason for carrying it.

You can’t keep a bat by the bed, a knife under the mattress. You can only ever, ever use reasonable force and only then if your life is in danger.

A person you find in your house can’t even be charged with trespass (it’s a civil matter). If you have barbed wire and they hurt themselves they can claim against you.

If a person wants my property, really wants it and is prepared to fight me for it- they can bloody have it. I’ll help them to their car with my Xbox.

That’s why I have insurance. I don’t have to fight, I don’t have to pick up a knife and raise the stakes.

That gun you have, is much more likely to be used to kill you or the people you got it to protect. The safest thing you can do is get rid of it.

It's true you can't carry a weapon around.

You can carry a baseball bat. You can carry folding knives, work knives and chef knives as long as they're in a roll. You'd probably get pulled walking up the high street on a Friday night with a machete.

You can legally keep a bat or a knife by your bed/ under your mattress. There are certain types of knives which are illegal in the UK so it wouldn't matter where you kept them. Reasonable force just means you can't chase a burglar down the road and hack their head off, or do weird sex stuff.

If someone broke into your home they wouldn't be charged with trespass. That law would be used as part of the burglary charges. Trespass is mainly used as a civil law in land cases.

If a burglar hurts themselves on your property, they can file a claim. Almost of those claims have been dismissed. If you have barbed wire on your property you cannot be sued if it's clearly visible. Things you shouldn't do - embed glass into your garden wall. Make Home Alone style burglar traps.

The best for last -

[NekoFever]

Trespass isn’t a crime but entering someone’s house with intent to steal is burglary, even if they don’t take anything, which is a crime. If they enter with a weapon it’s aggravated burglary. If they break a lock, window or whatever to get in, it’s criminal damage as well.

You’re perfectly entitled to defend yourself with force. There have been high profile cases where someone got done for attacking a burglar and it’s always been because they shot them in the back while they were running away or something, i.e. when they were no longer a threat and by illegally using a firearm.

distinguished mentally-challenged fellow acting like burglary has been decriminalised or something.

A very good male athlete transitions, competes in female athletics, and dominates.

I see this scenario being proposed all the time. Besides the fact that I have never seen this actually happen in practicality, the underlying assumption of this perspective is this:

Trans women aren't actually women

Because if they were women, then there's nothing to be "stolen" or lost by women, only a new/rising woman athlete to be celebrated.

 

Why do they find it so hard to accept that 95% of the world's population don't actually consider trans women to be real women?

There's a reason they're called trans women.

[Potato]

The Voting Rights Act only passed with 51% of white support, a few years after which point the government proceeded to assassinate one of major proponents of it and in general just kill Black Power movements altogether.

I kinda just glossed over this...is she saying the government killed MLK?  What were the rules on "conspiratorial thinking" again  ?

It's only a conspiracy if you're not a mod or a protected user.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Seriously if you are a cis person in this thread, shut up, this is not your lane

But why do our threads keep dropping off the front page? Fuck you, cis people.

 

This is such a bullshit argument anyway because if trans athletes have an advantage it very much affects cis women

I'm curious what the 'lane' people with >10k posts on vidya message boards have regarding professional athletes in the first place that places their opinion as more valid than people engaged in or employed by professional sports organisations.

The one leading to the food court?

[Polident Hive]

The sports debate straight up isn’t favorable to the cause. Every story has gone the same way. Mediocre athlete does the bare minimum to transition, dominates in the women division, and so on. Naturally raises some questions, eye brows, and some other things according to complaints in the locker rooms. From a PR perspective, they need an athlete at the top of the men division to transition.

I literally have no idea what I did wrong. I had my signal on and then got over. This caused the person to slam on their gas and almost hit me from behind. I had plenty of room when I started the turn.

They laid on their horn while we waited at a red light, and then they turned with me still honking. They finally stopped the horn, but kept following me and every 20 or so seconds would get up really close behind me and then honk their horn again. They also kept making that stupid motion where they spin their finger around their ear like im crazy. I was almost home and didnt want them to follow me home, so I started pretty much driving in circles around random neighborhoods and they still followed me. They eventually gave up about 10 minutes later and left.

There was also a shooting in my city yesterday that left 1 person dead at a park. Cant even fucking drive around anymore without fear of getting shot.

A HP megathread, where every other post is the entire list of Joanne's actions against trans people (from a mod, so can't be ignored), and a line saying that you are actively hurting and helping genocide by watching your wizard shows.

———

Clicky Cal:

How is a ban hypocritical or pointless in anyway? Do you not understand what Joanne is doing to the movement of trans genocide? We don't need to give this monster any more platform than she has already.

Hypocritical in the sense that people may want to ask for bans of other topics for similar and just as valid reasons, but asking for those bans would be against site rules and could lead to resentment

Pointless in that it there's no proof it causes JK harm to ban the discussion here, and could hypothetically cause harm by keeping decent people ignorant about topics of culture

Kyuuji:

Here's the long unspoken thing though whenever this comes up and we're expected to bite our tongues: no one has actually bothered or been motivated enough about those nebulous other topics to campaign about them on this forum for months or years. Dedicating time to writing thousands of words across numerous posts over that length of time to educating people and pushing for a change in how such a property is represented here.

Instead what you usually see is one or two weeks in the wake of any rule change, where a few people spend a couple of sentences pointing to another IP and saying 'what about this'. Of which an amount are doing so in an attempt to provoke drama, especially when they have posting histories that show no prior concern for said issues but instead adoration for Harry Potter. Too often people's only mention or engagement with a social issue is to use it to push back against action over another. Where other abuses of human rights are only invoked as a means to push back against another group campaigning over something meaningful to them.

People like to drag the staff in such moments for consistency or hypocrisy yet fail to hold themselves to that same standard. Where is the consistency of effort from such users in pushing for whatever change they are suggesting? In educating others around it? The Hogwarts Legacy ban came off the back of, though not necessarily a direct result of, years of education by the trans and non-binary community on this forum around both Rowling's transphobia and the growing Gender Critical movement. Writing threads and innumerable posts, speaking with staff in private to raise our concerns directly, and protesting of her within topics related to the IP. This wasn't a case of suggesting a ban in a couple of posts with a sentence or two and calling it a day. If people want to speak to consistency then they should be consistent with their own efforts when drawing a comparison to whatever led to a change in the rules here.

This ties into another facet of this, one that appears to have gone over your head when you regard it as pointless. This was never about harming JK or a belief it would impact her wallet; it was about the trans and non-binary communities on the forum not wanting to see an IP venerated here that's directly associated with the removal of our rights and freedoms. There is no risk of decent people being left "ignorant to topics of culture" because the ability for people to fawn over an IP isn't a prerequisite for educating them about it. Similar to the notes of consistency above though; when this education is spoken of, who does the expectation for it rest upon? It never seems to be the person suggesting it. Instead it seems to land on the very community the person is pushing back on when it comes to arguing against a ban.

AKA: we got what we wanted by being obnoxious cunts for years. Shitting up threads and engaging in emotional blackmail about our own pet issue and ignoring actual more pressing matters. And don’t you dare point out our hypocrisy, shitlord

Things seem to get worse every day and all I can see is people gushing about the latest HP bullshit. I really want to believe in good cis allies - I know they're out there - but it just feels so hard to find people who actually give a shit.

I work in a library and have to deal with patrons who go on and on about Rowling shit all day. They don't care that their nostalgia makes me feel nauseous and deeply unsafe. They don't care that I can hear the echoes of words from people who want me and my community dead in every little bit of HP/Strike praise they spit. It's all just noise that tells me how little they actually care. I stand there and I think, "You may not hate me, but you would never do a fucking thing to save me."

It's always the self-proclaimed leftists too, isn't it? The ones who smile in your face and say they'll respect your pronouns and frequent places like ERA. Conservatives don't feel the need to put on a whole performance to justify their apathy; they'll just call you a slur and buy the game or watch the show and leave it at that. Those leftists will refuse to say "fuck you" to my face while they scream it with every single one of their actions, and I'm tired of it. I'm just tired.

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia

He was even a supporter of the genocide narrative

I've been warning of the trans legislative genocide for a long time on this board.

Trans people are the punching bag of reactionary politicians now and there's not yet a political counterforce as evidenced by Labour and the Democrats waffling on these issues (or in the case of Labour outright siding with the reactionaries)

I find it extremely odd that I'm being singled out here just because I think it's a total waste of time and energy fixating on Harry Potter during an unprecedented wave of hate aimed at trans people - HP diminishing, to the extent that it's even feasible, is not going to diminish Rowling's voice on these matters because she has the backing of the media, establishment apparatus, and has a fuckton of money and influence. You defeat her by overriding her bigotry by law and popular support, the same way other minority groups and allies fought. It is not politically expedient or savvy to make this about a media property.

This entire thread feels like it's trivialising what's happening when you have trans protections being stripped and nutty forced detransitioning bills being proposed.

Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia

[Propagandhim]

That guy, and other people treated like that, who are one of a minority that are really on board with what they believe are now simply going to be a little less sensitive to their issues over time.  Great work.

[Averon]

That ban is a perfect example of why people are just stop bothering with trans topics on ERA. If you agree with TransERA only 95% of the time, you still run the risk of a ban for "Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia" no matter the context. TransERA don't want allies. Even close allies disagree about things from time to time. They want mindless puppets that agree with everything they say and be their constant emotional crutch.

That's why they constantly complain about cis allies both being too quiet and not "staying in their lane." They want and crave the constant attention, but only if it agrees with them 100% all the time.

I wonder what the next TransEra target will be once full HP discussion annihilation is obtained--another single game like Cyberpunk wouldn't be enough of a hit, and I don't know that there's another single IP that would be as validating as obliterating HP from the site. It has to be something big. WBD as a whole? Probably should be Twitter but I don't think they want to have to give it up.

Also, someone in constructive asks what everyone was thinking:

Regardless please continue to report post by anyone and feel free to point out blatant double standards when you suspect them.

Wouldn't that likely be considered as modwhining and get you banned? Often it seems better to just say nothing

The tone of your report is likely going to be a significant factor in that determination.

I wonder what the next TransEra target will be once full HP discussion annihilation is obtained--another single game like Cyberpunk wouldn't be enough of a hit, and I don't know that there's another single IP that would be as validating as obliterating HP from the site. It has to be something big. WBD as a whole? Probably should be Twitter but I don't think they want to have to give it up.

Also, someone in constructive asks what everyone was thinking:

Regardless please continue to report post by anyone and feel free to point out blatant double standards when you suspect them.

Wouldn't that likely be considered as modwhining and get you banned? Often it seems better to just say nothing

The tone of your report is likely going to be a significant factor in that determination.

Tone policing; for shame.

Meanwhile this post from yesterday is unresponded to but also unactioned:

Are banned sites/sources actually enumerated somewhere?

no, documenting the rules of the website would make too much sense

Unless there is a massive PR fuck up, WBD is still too big of target (specially because Game of Thrones shows). They still need Twitter brigading to show that something is causing TransGenocide (Cyberpunk shit talk started and continued at Twitter until Edgerunners and the Updates hyped the game again), otherwise they are just nutcases shitting themselves in a niche Internet forum.

They are lucky that RE admin team is so fucking stupid to realize that is probably better for the forum not longer comply to their demands. “Tapar el sol con un dedo” is just a stupid long term plan.

Some funsies from the now locked HP HBO series thread:

Staff is actively discussing how to deal with the wizarding world as a whole moving forward. It's a big decision and we want to make sure it gets everyone's input.

Oh good, will we get a poll or open discussion about it?

 

———

People still interested in HP world I mean look how successful the game was last few months ago.

Pai Pai Master:

this is a straight up transphobic post. fuck this.

you should be ashamed of yourself. do better.

Clicky Cal:

A HP megathread, where every other post is the entire list of Joanne's actions against trans people (from a mod, so can't be ignored), and a line saying that you are actively hurting and helping genocide by watching your wizard shows.

 

———

Clicky Cal:

How is a ban hypocritical or pointless in anyway? Do you not understand what Joanne is doing to the movement of trans genocide? We don't need to give this monster any more platform than she has already.

Hypocritical in the sense that people may want to ask for bans of other topics for similar and just as valid reasons, but asking for those bans would be against site rules and could lead to resentment

Pointless in that it there's no proof it causes JK harm to ban the discussion here, and could hypothetically cause harm by keeping decent people ignorant about topics of culture

Kyuuji:

Here's the long unspoken thing though whenever this comes up and we're expected to bite our tongues: no one has actually bothered or been motivated enough about those nebulous other topics to campaign about them on this forum for months or years. Dedicating time to writing thousands of words across numerous posts over that length of time to educating people and pushing for a change in how such a property is represented here.

Instead what you usually see is one or two weeks in the wake of any rule change, where a few people spend a couple of sentences pointing to another IP and saying 'what about this'. Of which an amount are doing so in an attempt to provoke drama, especially when they have posting histories that show no prior concern for said issues but instead adoration for Harry Potter. Too often people's only mention or engagement with a social issue is to use it to push back against action over another. Where other abuses of human rights are only invoked as a means to push back against another group campaigning over something meaningful to them.

People like to drag the staff in such moments for consistency or hypocrisy yet fail to hold themselves to that same standard. Where is the consistency of effort from such users in pushing for whatever change they are suggesting? In educating others around it? The Hogwarts Legacy ban came off the back of, though not necessarily a direct result of, years of education by the trans and non-binary community on this forum around both Rowling's transphobia and the growing Gender Critical movement. Writing threads and innumerable posts, speaking with staff in private to raise our concerns directly, and protesting of her within topics related to the IP. This wasn't a case of suggesting a ban in a couple of posts with a sentence or two and calling it a day. If people want to speak to consistency then they should be consistent with their own efforts when drawing a comparison to whatever led to a change in the rules here.

This ties into another facet of this, one that appears to have gone over your head when you regard it as pointless. This was never about harming JK or a belief it would impact her wallet; it was about the trans and non-binary communities on the forum not wanting to see an IP venerated here that's directly associated with the removal of our rights and freedoms. There is no risk of decent people being left "ignorant to topics of culture" because the ability for people to fawn over an IP isn't a prerequisite for educating them about it. Similar to the notes of consistency above though; when this education is spoken of, who does the expectation for it rest upon? It never seems to be the person suggesting it. Instead it seems to land on the very community the person is pushing back on when it comes to arguing against a ban.

AKA: we got what we wanted by being obnoxious cunts for years. Shitting up threads and engaging in emotional blackmail about our own pet issue and ignoring actual more pressing matters. And don’t you dare point out our hypocrisy, shitlord

Alice Amber:

This thread has run it's course, and is now locked. We will review and action any remaining posts that are deemed to break posting guidelines.

Staff will review and announce in the near future how the Harry Potter IP will be treated in the future going forward.

Does anyone with a burner wish to point out in the constructive thread that an admin was playing Hogwarts Legacy?

[Potato]

That ban is a perfect example of why people are just stop bothering with trans topics on ERA. If you agree with TransERA merely 95% of the time, you still run the risk of a ban for "Dismissing Concerns of Transphobia" no matter the context. TransERA don't want allies. Even close allies disagree about things from time to time. They want mindless puppets that agree with everything they say and be their constant emotional crutch.

That's why they constantly complain about cis allies both being too quiet and "staying in their lane." They want and crave the constant attention, but only if it agrees with them 100% all the time.

This is exactly how you get unfounded claims of genocide happening.

Can't disagree with anything they say. The more attention seeking members of the community escalate their claims. Anyone who asks for evidence is banned. Anyone left falls into line. Keep going until you get to genocide.

When someone invents something worse than genocide, they'll claim that's happening to them as well.

Fucking nutjobs...

Rian Johnson films still not happening but RE pretends:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kathleen-kennedy-on-a-prospective-obi-wan-season-2-“that-is-not-an-active-development”-plus-comments-on-taika-and-rian-johnson-movies.706466/

Rian's movie/trilogy would be the right movie at the right time then, wouldn't have to worry about following up someone else's movie, he can fully enact his vision how he sees fit

I think the main problem is that Lucasfilm probably wants a unified (if schizophrenic) vision given Kennedy quote:

"Rian and I talk all the time," she said. "He is unbelievably busy. So we're not actively involved in anything at the moment because he's doing another one of the 'Glass Onion' movies and then God knows what else. But he really wants to step back into the space. It's a big commitment of time, so that's really on him."

“It’s on him” is not what Rian Johnson has told us. This sounds less like “he needs time” and more like “he needs to accept our terms”. I guess Kathleen's bosses probably are less willing to give carte blanche given how many Star wars projects have died.

Still, is still mind blowing that they want this shit to happen in any capacity. Is Rian Johnson fucking Kathleen Kennedy?

Mario ain’t got nothing but white folks in it. Even the black voice actor played a white character. Shit even DK (who had a black voice actor on the old DK show -may be problematic, a whole nother) is a white dude. It’s all flat and white and I never expect it to be anything different.

That is not what is at issue here though. Anya Taylor Joy’s career is not impacted by lack of diversity or inclusion in the way someone like John Leguizamo’s probably has been. He’s a guy who I’m sure has seen this first hand which is probably why he’s talking about it. Taylor Joy is not missing out on roles because of how she looks or because of her ancestry/ethnicity/race/nationality.

Anya has openly talked about being bullied for her looks and mixed heritage before. She's too white for him and the other jackasses to care what people actually went through, though.

Instead it seems to land on the very community the person is pushing back on when it comes to arguing against a ban.

Notice how Kyuuji conflates action with inaction so as to accuse those pointing out double standards of "actually" being the ones with double standards since they fail to devote themselves to silencing discussion. In Kyuuji's mind the natural state of things is to ban (aka the use of force, in the real world it would be violence) entire subjects when certain specific people complain, there is no presumption of discussion, those who favor discussion on a discussion forum and a consistently of rules are to be accused of ignoring an abuse of human rights. We can note further that this "abuse of human rights" consists of a single woman discussing a subject, mostly on Twitter. Something which members of this community deliberately share with each other endlessly.

Nor should we forget in regarding "communities on the forum not wanting to see an IP venerated here that's directly associated with the removal of our rights and freedoms" that Kyuuji happily continued to post about the dozens of times they watched Avatar 2 in the theater and proclaimed it a masterpiece and emotional wellspring of culture even as James Cameron's crimes against Indigenous people were outlined by Nepenthe and others. (Despite pushback from a person from Peru because lol fuck those Indigenous people, Nepenthe's speaking here.)
