It's less that what Lion Pride said was awful and more that the bct folks are ripe with racism and the mods need them to keep it on the down low.
I think the star settler mods are trying to set an early tone that this isnt allowed anymore, tbh it's probably best for them long term, else the conversations will become mid 2017 gaf nonsense super fast.

Look its been fun guys but i got to be getting a move on.
It was glorious to see Tyler burnin, Amerox pissed on, rentacenter and yall banning me, and the silly normie discussion about Seinfeld.
But the funs over, rentacenter is not gonna cause too much drama, the ssw thing is either dying out in 6 months to 10 years (if the latter there will be some blood shed but atm who gives a fuck if blood splitting in the streets right?) and we aint gonna trust no female around us anymore cause yeah well they want to rule over shit and yall saw what happened to Brazil, Argentina, UK, Germany, Sweden...
I might be back but doubt it I got too much irl stuff to do atm.
Thanks for the fish.

I have a serious racist question: why are black dudes so into sofas? Like they're always talking about an upcoming sectional they're going to purchase once they have the money. Where does this come from?

Being a minority myself, its all about that yearly tax return shakeup. Thats when you buy a fresh sectional from your regional furniture dealer. You then throw your old sectional to whichever unfortunate family member is on a lower economic rung.

Black guys also randomly fall asleep when they start to get older. You can be there watching the game with the guys and then Lucas is suddenly snoring.

So that couch is their eventual nap place.

Cut Lucas some slack. He was probably reading one of Lime’s threads.

As a minority let me speak for all black people... 

... are we on GAF?

Despite all that pc bullshit, you can in fact approximate some behavioral trends from any given subculture. Though i do chuckle when Americans use the "white" and "black" to describe their own little nuances when the vast majority of people belonging to those colors don't live there.  :doge

Not really my point;  no clue what minority group Blue belongs to just sort of poking fun at how often on Gaf/Reset non-black people want to chime in when discussion african american culture.

I dunno, probably cause either it's confusing or they are closet racists. Not much choice there. Like, for all that talk about individuality and not judging people based on what group they belong to, Resetera and Gaf sure as hell liked to make their own distinct hugboxes and go apeshit over people misappropriating the cultural traits that those hugboxes valued. Can't really have it both ways.

Soon, white people don't spice their food, will get warnings.

If we'd spice our food it'd be cultural appropriation. Either we get made fun of or be a literal nazi. Stay losing white people. :'(

Cultural apporpiations would be ok in my book if it meant I didnt eat another broild pork chop seasoned with not enough salt

He's mad because I'm right about the BCT on GAF (and now Era) being reverse racist as fuck and can't look into the mirror to see it. He can continue to snipe, I couldn't give a fuck at this point what he thinks. If he thinks I'm racist for (rightly) calling that shit out and saying it is detrimental on getting folks to support black folks/BLM's movement stuff, well... he can stay mad.

Besides, he only posts in this thread anytime I mention that shit. So... whatever. He can go back to Era or wherever they congregate and cry about "white tears" or whatever while putting anyone that would help them off their "struggles."

i recognize that besada is a piece of shit, but that doesnt change the fact that jado is also a self hating piece of shit

youre a self admitted racist though. dont act as though your some sort of virtuous person looking to shout out racism. you clearly have something against black people in general.

There is systemic racism in the system but it’s largely, not solely, focused on black community.

A scarlet letter would be if the warning was on every one of a user's posts, rather than just the offending one.  Also, you know the user would've been dogpiled for that post on GAF, which rarely had mod warnings.

The post falsely equates people brought as slaves for physical labor to immigrants who got to the U.S. on a largely merit-based system.  Of course the Asians in the U.S. are going to do well in the country; the whole reason they got visas in the first place was due to being exceptional.  They're cream-of-the-crop by design.

Yes, of course hard work will do anyone a lot of good, but if you're born Asian-American you generally have a significant leg up over someone born African-American.

I'm sorry. The substance of the post definitely needed the pushback but even then a mod neon light sanctioned blinker just feels odd to me. Not in any way saying the person deserved the platform to begin with though. I feel weird saying the communities invisible hand will deal with this stuff though.

In the off chance I ever would be offered a modship (:sabu ME?! Lmao) I'd turn it down in a heart beat. I've been a mod on a big ass forum before and it was enough for me the last time!

The reason warnings are easy to make fun of is that there have been quite a few shit ones either because they targeted innocuous posts or they are just complete bullshit to begin with (""""""disingenuous argument"""""") and the system rubs it in your face.

Yeah I don't get the complaints here;  they actually tell people to stop dogpiling on Resetera, unlike GAF, where the dogpiled would end up banned and the thread would stay focused on them sometimes for days after.  On the surface the warnings seem like thought policing but in the end if a thought is going to get dog piled on then "policing" those thoughts is a form of dog piling policing too.  A long as the dog piling is also curtailed it makes sense to me.   It's easier to try to get people to chill out on posting thougths that are just going to get dog piled in the end though; "shoot the hostage" sort of situation.

If they were going there effectively moderate a discussion, preventing dog piling would be the way to go. I’ve rarely seen them do that though. They SHOULD be warning the dog pilers themselves. Especially the ones responding to a controversial statement with pointless or passive aggressive shit posts (ex: “oh wow”, “really? really??”, “Can’t believe someone went there”, etc). They instead warn and ban users who engage in wrongthink. It’s really no different than it was on GAF because ultimately they’re using it to enforce their personal opinions on a subject, rather than acting as a neutral observer and allowing the discussion to go where it may.

They use different methods to achieve the same results. So again, it’s really no different at all. Any sort of meaningful discussion is strangled in its infancy. So their ban policy isn’t as heavy handed as GAF’s was. Who cares when the end result is the exact same thing?

If we'd spice our food it'd be cultural appropriation. Either we get made fun of or be a literal nazi. Stay losing white people. :'(

Nah, us Europeans spiced our food for millenia, it's just knowledge the emigrants forgot to take with them to America. As a nice European, I'll happily grant all white Americans permission to spice food any way they see fit though.

A "warning" on GAF was a 30 day ban, if not 60 or 90 days.  It's not "no different" whatsoever;  it was rare you saw an actual WARNING on GAF.. they just banned people, for extensive as hell times. 

That's pretty damn different.

Still, the type of thing people are getting warned over is ridiculous.

It's a "all white people = WASPs" thing.

The whole "cultural" conversation surrounding food in America is just too fucking dumb. If I have to read one more thinkpiece because a white chef put something different in their vaguely asian noodles...

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
