Doxxing Files |OT| Do not use a pandemic to make a platform wars thread

[HaughtyFrank]

This is not a "gaming forum first and foremost", no. It's a community that has specific underlying principles. We can argue all day about how this actually pans out, but this is not the place to come to call for people who "just want to talk about video games".

If all this talk gets in the way of you discussing a game, you could easily go elsewhere to do it.

This just in, Resetera isn't a gaming forum.

Leaves the question what kind of forum it actually is

[team filler]

Biden won the election and yet ERA still seems to be as miserable as ever.

It's a community that has specific underlying principles.

I'm not sure "specific" is the word I would go with here.

[Straight Edge]

Their principles are fluid and ever-changing just like their genders.

While the user might have ignored the OP of the thread, the thread itself is linked in the thread reply-banner for everyone to see, and is very difficult to miss, which may indicate bad faith on this user regardless. Users are free to repeal bans through the contact links, so we don’t need to discuss this further here.

If LampTramp didn't want to be referred to as "dawg" because she felt it was a gendered term (which it really isn't, but thats not the point), I would 100% understand that. But to call it vulgar and compare it to an actual, real life slur? At best it's anti-black, at worst it's actively violent considering this site's history with policing AAVE and black slang.

Marzoo was banned for misgendering a member (whose pronouns were clearly marked) in a report. Her ban duration is under admin review at the moment, and Marzoo is welcome to appeal this ban through the contact us link. Also, this thread is not to be used to re-litigate bans.

[thetylerrob]

Oh my god TELL me about it. I almost never comment on here because of all the hate I get for trans (demi-two spirit, but more fluid), and just today alone i cried so much i stained my brand new sequined Bebe top and matching school girl skirt.😢

And then my older brother keeps calling me for money, mind you this same POS molested me as a child and got away it.

I JUST...CANT EVEN TODAY.

[benjipwns]

Bit weird that flooding the forum with hype threads is fine but "hostility" to people being willfully obtuse is what warrants a ban. Kind of reinforces my point I made in this thread, really. This entire thread is full of trans people feeling genuinely unwelcome because of the blind hype surrounding some AAA game but you call someone a bootlicker for hammering in on suvivorship bias and redefining "preservation" to the point of meaninglessness and that's just too much.

Banning "hostility" is just a way to tone police in a professional way. The fact there was apparently *another* hype thread again makes it clear that the mods here favor band-aid solutions against "bad actors" over tackling the more "silent" issues that cause way more damage. What a joke.

The annoying part is that most of us don’t want to be aggressive or hostile. But when we approach in a docile fashion we just get ignored, so we have to push harder. It’s lose-lose for us because when we want to be heard we have to be so confrontational, which then just gives bad actors firepower because ‘lol sjw’s’.

The deliberate ignoring to replies has really, really upset me more than anything else TBH.

[benjipwns]

era claims to be a progressive haven on the internet but it's transphobic, racist, misogynistic and ableist as fuck lmao

[benjipwns]

I can only imaging one specific poster refusing to reply to me despite me never addressing them prior (or being this "militant" until today) comes down to them being a coward, a whining asinine coward, or just ignoring people they don't want to hear.

"We don't want to be aggressive"? You fucking take over and derail every single Cyberpunk thread, attack everyone who is in the thread to talk about the game and then scurry back to the stickied thread to talk shit about them for not responding to you.

And then a one day thread ban for a prominent member shitting up the thread but a fucking permaban for "misgendering in a report"? And these prominent members want to say the site is racist and transphobic?

the irreparable damage caused to trans people worldwide cannot be made up for by some token lip service here and there in a game created by a transphobic company

Banning someone for misgendering is nuts. That's an honest mistake that can happen to anyone, but instead of correcting her it's the banhammer.

[ToxicAdam]

I've been aggressively ignoring Nintex for months and it hasn't changed a thing.

[ShutUp]

A mistake? Permaban. Repeatedly going at another member, not getting a response and running back to your friends in a different thread and calling them a coward? Meh we'll give you a one day ban from the thread you attacked them in.

The most protected communities on the board endlessly playing the victim needs so badly to be called out. Or a moderation team actually not afraid of doing what they should be doing. So somewhere not named Resetera basically.

Honestly, Marzoo "lost" the second they engaged with the shitposters. Marzoo, and everyone else in that thread, should have continued doing what they were doing for weeks and ignore the crybabies. Now the thread has been successfully derailed, and the shitposters are getting what they want: attention and baiting people into bans.

All different users in that thread:

Because they hate Biden and are going to spend the next four years complaining about how he eats crackers. Ignore.

they are more interested in shitposting than having a functional intelligence arm of the government to stop the rise of domestic terrorism

When they announce his pick for Secretary of Education every other post will be something something drone strikes.

I blame moderation for continually letting them get away with this kind of shitposting. All the usual suspects ready with their canned responses regardless of who was nominated. And yeah, I’ll likely be banned for this post, but it needs to be said because this place is becoming unreadable.

And I wonder if there'll be any Biden administration threads that aren't overrun with shitposts.

Nice to see half of era has already decided Biden and his administration are gonna be drinking the blood from the skulls of children they commit genocide on.

I'm so out of the loop -- can someone briefly describe what these drone strike posts are about? I'm aware that the Obama administration has been criticized for the role drone strikes played in killing innocents but what does that have to do with the incoming Biden administration?

Drive by shitposting for a brief high.

There is no "criticism" in 8 people just running in and dropping "DRONES STRIKES!" and fleeing

How about criticizing when he actually does the stuff instead of before he's president even?

Yeah, didn't take long did it?

so did you end up voting trump or third party?

a good portion of era thinks that the world would be better off if the US disintegrated over night so its not surprising.

It's getting annoying in here to see these shitposts that don't contribute to any constructive discussion about these positions.

Moderation needs to deal with the ridiculous amount of shitposting that is surrounding the Biden transition moves.

I hope the mods step in because I actually do want to discuss the positions/experience of these people.

Some of these posts are embarrassing. Ignore feature working overtime.

What the hell I can’t even with this site sometimes. These people haven’t even taken their positions yet.

oh wait it's just twitter level "please notice me" posts 🤣

Jesus Christ, are you shitposters just bots?

This forum is just a straight up turd sometimes and this topic is a prime example.

Also, christ the trolling on that first page is so cringe. Enough with the shitposting.

The fifth column tries in vain to derail yet another thread, but will not sully the rightful next government of the US.

These "both sides are the same" drive-by posts remind me why Donald Trump was the president we deserved for the last four years.

I do not look forward to the next few weeks of shitting all over anyone Biden picks with the complaint of drone strikes thrown in.

This forum shouldn't aspire to be the Youtube comment section.

shitposting is against TOS - you are free to post elsewhere if that's the level of discussion you're interested in

No, it's about shitposts that derail discussion in a discussion-oriented thread.

The only other post in the thread from the poster will help explain it:

That he's a white dude from a privileged background. Trying to spin his prospective nomination as some sort of progressive achievement by itself (as the title of the article implies) is disingenuous.

It’s a cesspool of despair, false information, jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, and memes.

I would recommend staying out of it unless you have a good control of social media OR need it for work purposes. It can be a horrible place, specially when you can get most of the same information in much healthier channels.

[ShutUp]

Saw that thread earlier. Woman on Twitter getting attacked over a Leia looking hair style in Animal Crossing is such a pathetic commentary on the state of things now. Of course the ones attacking her are tons of white people. Another one talking about KKK meetings and its just a massive WTF.

[Boredfrom]

It's not my place to say whether it's offensive or not, but I feel like I can see how it might potentially be being a sensitive subject. Especially the name. Just looking up images in Google, you can see that most of the "space puffs" you come across are clearly straight hair collected in a lump, which doesn't really look like what the hair in the OP is.

The person in the tweet doubles down on referring to them as space puffs, which may be frustrating when the entire point of the inclusion is to add hair styles that are built around hair textures that white people generally don't have.

You are such a scumbag, L_thammy

I said before but RE hates twitter but most of the controversies they latch on come from there.

[Transhuman]

Resetera is so insane they think that the "the next missles will be sent by a woman" comic isn't anti-war, or anti-united states foreign policy, it's anti-Hillary. I don't visit PolIEra or whatever it's called, but is it really that contentious to be anti-dronestrike, or anti-"poorly-executed-dronestrike"?

Maybe it's happening too far away from them to care. Maybe if it was an pro-blm comic like "they say the next cop to to get away with killing an unarmed black man is going to be a woman" or something.

I think she was trying to get attention and you people gave it to her.

"She was asking for it with those slutty space buns"

[BIONIC]

I'm honestly disappointed in a lot of the posts in this thread. There is nuance here and the issue shouldn't be taken at face value with no inspection.

Yes, the tweet is getting unnecessarily attacked but, the erasure of what the hair style is by calling it and transforming it into something else, disregards the representation and forgoes the attempted inclusiveness. Anyone can do whatever with their animal crossing avatar, but you should respect the importance of the hairstyle being included and the conversation surrounding the history behind it.

When something is being adopted, the culture needs to be respected and not consumed to the point of being washed out.
