After that, she said that there wasn't an incentive to go to college and "you're acting braindead dude", which is just a ridiculous statement. No, you shouldn't have to go to college to get a survivable wage. I took it to DMs and she said "no thank you I don't feel like I'm informed enough for a proper debate but the arguments from the other side makes more sense to me". Then I asked what arguments, but she wouldn't say. I told her that it was ridiculous that you make that point without any argument to back it up and said her point was outdated. Right after, she just said "please fucking stop".So yeah, it's going well. She doesn't want to listen to my arguments at all and she just told me to fucking stop.

So many people in my life are stubborn. I've worn some of them down by reminding them ( mostly gently but not always) when and how they were wrong. My mother and wife are two of them.Some people I just had to cut off.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/taylor-swift-calls-out-netflix-for-sexist-joke.386801/I find this one interesting. I can see that the joke can be considered as slut shaming but at the same time was the show created and written by women. So should Netflix have kept those women from writing about what they want?

If that stuff is true that’s not good, but I just don’t get ERAs behavior of regularly putting someone in the pillory. Look I’m by no means alt-right nor a trump supporter or Pro Gamergate/Anti SJW or whatever, but what I don’t get is that so many people from the industry here get crucified, banned or boycotted etc pp without even being asked about it?! I mean ok for obvious cases like the whole Ubisoft disaster I’ll get it.What scares me is if ERA would be a government than it probably wouldn’t be any better than any alt-right guys. There is no court, no benefit of the doubt, no possibility for those people to explain or defend or getting a chance to right their wrongs.Instead of actually talking to those accused people, asking them about the stuff and see how they respond or give them a chance to defend and explain themselves, maybe even to apologize there is at least one thread a week where someone gets pointed out, accused and crucified with lots of era users saying they won’t buy game x/y.There are lots of hard working people behind those games and all you can do is accuse one of them and then boycott the whole game without even asking the accused person about it or give the rest of the team the benefit of the doubt nor respect. I mean WTF?! That’s like in the dark ages when someone shouted WITCH(ER) and everyone burns or lapidates the person without even asking. That’s just sick! And that is something I can’t stand that much longer on this board tbh.
Thank you for posting this… i feel exactly the same.
Yeah this place can really be toxic like that and I hope this sort of behavior weeds itself out. Surely it has to.
People who want to fight oppression should join a socialist organization. They'll find very quickly that this online culture doesn't build power in real life.

Yep. And this is one of the more absurd examples I’ve seen of it.
You summed up my feelings of recent months on Era, it's like peoples are guilty until proven otherwise.

Not going to name call specifically, but I think some posts need to be looked at in that Mass Effect thread.
If an inclusive term such as this is getting a lot more flak for the term itself (and no, it's not just by the usual chud brigade) than what it's supposed to represent, then it might be fair to rethink its usage tbh.

Is it just me or does it feel like seeing people bringing up witch hunts is a shot at this topic?https://www.resetera.com/threads/playstation-the-ps5-version-of-oddworld-soulstorm-is-one-of-your-playstation-plus-games-for-april.385076/post-59778302Apparently now just simply asking if the person in charge of a small game has toxic views is a witch hunt and people would be worried about Era as a government.
When their post started with"Look I’m by no means alt-right nor a trump supporter or Pro Gamergate/Anti SJW or whatever, but..."I didn't bother with the rest.
I find anyone using the word witch hunt these days is suspect considering the kind of people who have been using it recently (like traitorous former presidents)
I think this is sound advice for life in general. If somebody starts with "I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/a nazi/anti-Semitic/etc but...", I'm just going to walk away.

They'll just wait until the thread dries up and hits second page and then they quietly execute the rebels when no one is looking.
So yeah, the only thing keeping Smash from going full horndog is the E10+ rating.
I was also an alcoholic when I first started college. I would get drunk like 2 times a week, sometimes 3.
I also used to smoke a shit ton of shisha, BY MYSELF. Like 1-3 times a day.
I actually made this petition 4 months ago, but then realised I needed to wait a month and accumulate 100 posts before I could make a thread here to publicise. And (to my shame) life also got in the way and I forgot. Currently at > 200 signatories.

Latinos is inherently inclusive of latinos and latinas, but latines is also coming into use.
is perfectly fine and accepted by the layman. I see the sentiment a lot on this forum that people find the word gamer either offensive or cringey and this is ridiculous. It's a perfectly acceptable term for someone who plays games as a hobby. Any feelings you associate with the word are entirely and probably a reflection of some misplaced shame you carry with your hobby. Just like we call people cyclists, or readers, bookworms, cinephiles, movie buffs, foodies or binge watchers we can define people with an ardent interest in games "Gamers". It really feels like some people on the site are stuck in the mentality of school and being social outcasts to look at a word and recoil from being defined as it. Games are as diverse as any other entertainment medium, They can reach lofty hights and be called Art or they can be hammy schlock and fodder. Opinions?
