Cerium doesn’t care about those uppity coloreds, Royalan’s treatment proved as much.  A Rose avatar adds some protection points against immediately being cancelled exposed as a bigot whenever a poster says something reasonably moderate that activates the reee-cabals into red alert.

User Banned (duration pending): Antagonizing another member in a sensitive thread.

In one of your many other suicidal threads a couple months ago you had made it sound like you were an accomplished chef. Now you’re saying you’ve just been washing dishes the last 8 years. Am I missing something here?

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia, inflammatory comparison

If you are walking around with a small penis, you don't lead off with that on the first date. You show off the things that make u more appealing and hope that by the time you take them home and open the box, and plug in the chord its too late for them to back out. Then you come overcome that deficit by showing them great first party moves and oral skills err i mean OS.

I value transparency to be honest. Your analogy doesn't work because, no one shows off their dick before interacting with someone (in a traditional dating situation). If someone has some sexually transmitted infection, or is trans, I think that's info that should be given prior to any type of intimacy. Put all your cards on the table, and let the other party make a decision from that point on, then we go from there. Otherwise it seems like you were attempting to hide aspects about yourself you'd rather others didn't find out.​

Lets say a pregnant woman lost her baby when Thanos snapped his fingers. She's got a womb full of dust. When the snap is undone, she'd suddenly be pregnant again, right? But what if she died in the time between snaps, where does that newly undead baby appear?

Hello Era, I had a very enlightening but also difficult meeting with a woman the other day. We had a conversation that revolved around gender politics, an area where she is very clearly much more knowledgeable and experienced than I.

Fortunately she was patient and was able to clearly explain to me certain aspects of radical feminism. The evening ended with many questions remaining on my part.

She in turn was I think exhausted from the effort she had made to get across ideas and ways of thinking that are still foreign to me.

I thanked her sincerely the next day in a message, after spending part of the night digesting the experience, and she was moved by this. I followed up asking her for some more pointers or a recommendation on a good text on gender politics and radical feminism, but have not heard back from her.

Since I have the day off I was hoping to get in some reading on these subjects, so I'm asking for recommendations in this thread as well.

Specifically, the part I had the greatest difficulty relating to was her attitude towards romantic partnerships between men and women. From her point of view, in an ideal world, men and women should live almost entirely separately, in same-gender or mostly same-gender communities. She seemed very confident of this, which confused me, as we had met on a dating site and she wanted to meet in real life almost right away.

So I'd like to understand what role do men play in society according to radical feminism, and also if possible I'd like to know what fundamental concepts in gender politics should I educate myself upon in order to be able to have more encounters like this in the future?

Thank you.

Again, you are failing to understand that they can do something racist without intending it to be so. All that you said is immaterial to the fact that one of the few times an Asian person was a main character of a blockbuster series, JJ and co decided to revoke that status. You don't seem to understand what systemic racism is and I urge you to do some research in it.

If you contribute to systemic oppresion of minorities, you are at least doing some racist regardless if you had bad intentions or not. JJ and co do not have to overtly hate or feel prejudiced against Asians to do something racist against them. He has a responsibility here, and he failed.

OK I'm out.

[Tasty]

They had so little Leia material to work with that I'm having a hard time picturing what hypothetical scenes she could even have with Rose.

"We adore the character, and we adore Kelly – so much so that we anchored her with our favorite person in this galaxy, General Leia."

All I see is "Please don't hate us" from this.

Carrie Fisher died in 2016, which impacted the shooting of TLJ to an extent (iirc, the film might already have been in post-production or on the way to post-production). The justification in saying that they planned to pair Rose and Leia is complete bullshit considering the timing.

Yeah, the way Carrie Fisher's death is used as the catchall/excuse for why the film is a mess is ridiculous.

This guy somehow knows exactly how much Leia footage was usable, and the writer of the film either doesn't or is lying.

posting on era is racist because:

• no matter how regularly they're banned, you're actively spending time in good company of others who gleefully make racist comments like defending disney's destruction of rose, and their racist mindset subtly seeps into your own
• black culture is relegated to one tiny thread off in etcetera hangouts, segregation exactly how the racists want it, and they're being picked off one by one; don't even start talking about asian or jewish culture
• era's general standard of lunacy reflects badly on "minority" viewpoints and provides morons with the perfect strawman without having to construct their own

Nah. If you think back they've always been this crazy. Remember when they tried to claim Kingdom Come: Deliverance was racist because the game tried to be as historically accurate as possible? If it seems like they're getting crazier it's only because there's less dissenting opinion as they shave away all the sane members.

It will never not be weird to me that The last Jedi of all things is a platform on the site that you absolutely have to agree with. Like lmao it was a wack movie who cares?

All according to plan. That’s exactly what they’re seeking with redefining terms and definitions so they can do the six degrees of racism on anything anyone says or does. All depends if it gets enough attention to reach that critical mass of offense.

DF create videos to make money. The guys have to be paid for their analysis. The more videos, the more revenue.

It’s a shame they’ve become a bit spammy in the past year (Directs and Let’s Plays) but I get the hussle especially after the ad pocolypse.

Yeah DF seems to be headed down a dark path with this nonsense. How are they any better than all the other clickbait sites when they’re peddling the same exact shit? They could have just waited for Sony to reveal the PS5 specs which is very soon and go from there. This smells of desperation.

This is NOT being “allergic”.

What the fuck. I mean there are people who truly cant drink a sip because it means death to them (due to medication) or who have a real allergic reaction.

Getting a headache and feeling awful might be bad to you, but do not compare it to an allergic reaction.

That’s lack of respect and insulting towards those who have a allergic reaction.

Ever since I’ve turned 21 I’ve fucking dreaded going out. All anyone ever wants to do is go to a bar/club!!! And/or waste money eating expensive garbage.

That whole thread is great... Era has such a weird relationship with alcohol. Like, there are a shit ton of perfectly valid reasons why someone would abstain, but they are so quick to give themselves a medal and boast about it. And of course Era is totally extreme about it - either people completely abstain or they are getting piss drunk and waking up in pools of their own vomit... the concept of people having a glass of wine with a nice dinner, or a pint at the local dive bar to unwind is lost on them.
