Reset Era....
-Where saying "relax it was a joke" gets you a perma ban https://www.resetera.com/threads/cy...account-makes-transphobic-joke-read-op.63305/

-And wishing Post Malone would die in a plane crash (while his plane was currently without any landing gear while in the air) because he is a white culture vulture that wont fully support BLM wont so much as get you a warning. Because..... Fuck white (straight) males! https://www.resetera.com/threads/po...-after-tires-blow-during-takeoff.63430/page-3


Yep. At least more level headed users are calling out the community/moderation for the complete hypocrisy.

Real talk here, this guy right here is an asshole. And I don't mean just a regular asshole like most, I mean an asshole, one that probably society could happily do without. Can't say I'm surprised, but this still makes me angry.

They removed the post/link if I remember correctly - but the user wasn't banned. Apparently attempted doxing is perfectly a-okay, but suggesting the tweet was a joke? Permaban.
 
I'm surprised they aren't calling the banned users Russian bots. It's like they can't possibly believe people in the world don't share the same opinion as them. Nope they are all one user from here making a bunch of alt accounts to get some lulz. They are delusional and its funnier every day I pop in to that hell hole.
 
We have reached the final phase, they are now attacking a trans woman for her beliefs. Apparently believing you are trans because your brain was not developed correctly is offensive and hateful. Coming from the most hateful community, that's refreshing.

Update: She is banned. LOL.

yeah I was watching it going down. Didn't think she'd make it that far before being banned tbh.

REEera gets a shoutout in Metokur's new video:


ERA getting shoutouts is nothing new. The designer for DMC5 gave ERAs DMC Discord a shoutout during the Inside Xbox GamesCom stream yesterday. Rod Fergusson gave ERAs Gears 5 thread a shoutout during an interview and the BC guys at MS gave ERA a shoutout for a leak. Geoff Keighley has also a ton of times given ERA shoutouts on his E3 stream.

Found a link for Rods ERA shoutout in case people don't believe it. If timestamp doesn't work, it starts at 4:40:

This is small potatoes, but it cracks me up a little bit. Link

Yes, please! We need a doctor that happens to be a man to explain to us how our own anatomy works! STAT!
What I find funny about this is that any doctor that happens to be a woman is going to know way more about how my own anatomy works than I will. I didn't go to medical school and then practice medicine for years.

This idea that a male doctor knows less about female anatomy than random women because they own the parts is hilarious to me. It's more of that "mansplaining" nonsense.

In the future, all doctors will be imprisoned for practicing biology. Because anatomy will be deemed a social construct.
Gynaecologists too, will practice in fear. After performing reproductive surgery, they will be sued for assault.
 
Damn, she got attacked by others on that forums. While I do admit that she was very frustrated, she did indeed have a point. There are things that can be offensive, but she is annoyed that the thing about Cyberpunk is viewed as offensive by peoples. It's just a meme, but a lot of peoples doesn't realize it or view it offensive.

Edit to say that he or she complained on Twitter too. Hopefully it will spread the word about Era's toxicity

Same dude that dug up Snorwich's articles.
 
Yikes, disgusting trash dumpster fire.
Agreed. She was polite and she had agruements that made actually very sense and was thought out. She didn't deserve this in my opinion.

But someone linked to her Twitter. Maybe we can ask her on Twitter to join this forum. And Snorwich, if you're reading here, you're welcome to join this forum, we aren't toxic as other might claim.
 
This.

Resetera is literally a containment forum for all the unhinged leftists that other internet forums didn't want to accept. The good users that are there are outweighed by the tons of bad ones who only contribute misery.

They're basically the California of the internet. And Neogaf is the Texas. You don't want Texas to turn into California. ;)

Naw, the crazies are everywhere these days. ResetERA isn't unique in that it is full of radical leftists and social justice types. So many sites have been taken over. Gen Z eats that shit up, and the younger Gen Xers go along to sound hip.

This is like a driver saying they know more about engine design than an engineer because they drive a vehicle every day.

My gosh this is great:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cy...obic-joke-read-op.63305/page-46#post-11742826

"What about university campuses providing safe spaces that exclude men or student organizations that exclude white people? That seems ok to me."

Answer:
And if I set up a student organization that excluded black people that would be ok too? What about Asian people? How does that seem ok to you?


Result: User Banned (1 day): False equivalency argument.


Holy shit.


Also she has a good point when she said
There's no point raging over such harmless comments. Honestly, getting so outraged just hurts trans people like me. So many folks are just rolling their eyes at this anger, and it reflects poorly on people struggling with their gender identity. It just makes us look weak.

Getting angry at EVERYTHING is a manifestation of weakness, of "thinn skinned" that gets burned at everything. People that can "get over it", that's the strong people worth knowing/having.

In October of 2017, NeoGAF was enveloped in drama, and while we were being DDoSed for a couple days there, some people decided to make another forum and NeoGAF was bombarded with advertisements and account suicides promoting ResetEra as the "successor" to NeoGAF. I had been trapped in self-loathing since March of that year and pretty much just fell apart seeing my community turn against me and implode from within like that.
Wow. What a spin. How do you even manage to go on like that?

Anyway, this took me way too long. Visited GAF about three times since October '17 and from the beginning it was in a sad state after every decent person left. It felt like a nuked city with some confused people tumbling around. Though the other day I came here after months to witness, that at least traffic wise it is still in a sad state. But what is posted throughout many threds is such a pathetic display of bigotry, ignorance and stupidity that I feel a deep shame to contribute to the member count of this site.

Request: Please perma ban asap.

I am not sure why they want to give any sort of credibility to such a vile, toxic site. There has been this growing issue of "toxicity" in Gaming, and Era is the quintessential poster child of it. You would think they would move away from references to it.

The only stupidity/ignorant posts I see are people like you, who cannot simply ignore a site and instead request to be permabanned. As for bigotry, any actual occurrence of it is dealt with swiftly by the moderation team. The real issue is that you seem to fail to understand the concept of "different opinions".

You really couldn't have just not signed in? :unsure:

Oh that's right, you had to state your moral superiority over others before you left. Seems that's a common theme with your types.
 
The irony.

Edit: and feel free to inform one of the mods still working for that fuckface to speed up the process.

You truly are a poster child of the childish membership that plagues 'Era. Also if you cannot understand the difference between your actions and what goes on in this thread, then you are already a lost cause. I wish you the best of luck and hope you gain some modicum of self respect in the future.
 
That's the most impressive thread I've ever seen on Reee. They dogpilled Snorwich0747 because he/she had a different opinion and wasn't "outraged" by the joke.
That's just a message board but can you imagine this kind of behavior in real life?

But remember, if they are civil we need to be polite and shit.

/s

This right here is why there can be no discussions in there. If you have a different opinion or if you are not 100% with them, then you are the devil himself.
 
The irony.

Edit: and feel free to inform one of the mods still working for that fuckface to speed up the process.
See in the top right where your name is. Click that and click log out. You're just like the account suiciders. You provide nothing of worth to this site, and not at all to ERA as well. You most likely are a poster that runs into one thread says "Cool, Nice, This is pretty awesome", and leaves to sit in another mega thread for another game and refuses to venture out of their safespaces. You clearly can't understand anyone elses opinions but your owns. You should take a break from the internet and talk to some people outside.

On that note, it's a huge shame that ERA has gotten this bad. Like how the fuck does anyone not see this site is just become nearly impossible to share your own opinion on. The hivemind is outright insane. They need to refresh the staff on there. It clearly isn't working out and they are rushing quickly towards a implosion.

Here's the thing: I don't care about how toxic people here say ERA is. Im there for the gaming news, the game OTs, PC gaming threads and simply random funny/drunk threads about random shit. Lots of fun and good discussions (especially in the PC gaming thread) and it's easy to ask for help or ask questions.

Ive been on GAF since 2013 because I really enjoyed the gaming section and the "fun/random shit" threads on off-topic. Now that has moved to ERA. Ive tried Reddit, but don't like the structure of the comments section (as in the karma points stuff).

ERA has so far given me my forum needs which GAF did before.

And considering how many people that posts on ERA I assume many have the same feelings.

Also, a ton of devs seems to follow and even post there (like Rod mentioned there in the interview). You probably think it's toxic, it maybe is, but somehow, apparently devs like the feedback and the discussions that surrounds their games. Why else would they post there or read the game threads there?

Most of Norwegian forums are barely alive or gone so nothing there.

That kind of thinking is in all essence the This is America music video, everything around you is chaos, yet you decide to only look at the positive nothing more of it. That's all you're looking at, and sure the few OT's are nice and everything but look at any thread it nearly always derails 5-7 pages in and then it's never moderated to go back. There's a few good/fun discussions I wouldn't say lots. Obviously you've moved over because of activity a lot of people did and that's just something that will happen. Nobody wants to post on a slow forum. They want instant.

That's a good question. Haven't loads of devs also mentioned that they do not like that place AT ALL? I remember old GAF also not being particularly well liked in the dev community.

The biggest reason I moved over was because everyone else, but most importantly, the SteamGAF community, where I was most active moved over. It's not that complicated.

I have no idea. I only know that the Kingdom Come (director?) developer don't like ERA.

I will echo what Blam said, but also point out the issue with the "developers". We have already obtained confirmation through Skyrim, a developer at Bethesda that they and a good number of others specifically do not post or use Era due to its toxicity.

Yes once era started up devs said they hated the community and the atmosphere of GAF, and ironic that is now ERA is now.

I know but just saying hey I don't care how toxic it is doesn't really work out since these people can easily ruin your experience too by just ruining those specific places you frequent.

Source? I know about the Skyrim dev who got banned, but I need source on that many others devs think it's toxic.

Well if they think ERA is toxic, why not post here?

If they're being honest I think most devs want nothing to do with the hardcore part of their fanbases. Too many crazy ass, no life losers in there. Same with musicians or athletes and their obsessed fans etc. They want their money, but no one wants to deal with crazy, random people.

Forums are too heavily made up of nutjobs that obsess over their hobbies these days. They started that way and got better gradually as the internet went mainstream and brought in more regular folk. The rise of social media has largely killed forums off for that mainstream crowd and now they're just the whackos and us old fogeys that have been into forums for 20+ years and didn't move onto social media. And most of us are probably like me and stay out of the controversial topics as we've got better shit to do and/or just aren't invested in our hobbies to that degree anymore.

So yeah, if I was a major dev I wouldn't have any online presence beyond sending out standard PR and wouldn't care at all what the online extremists in forums were saying about my products. That's a few thousand people when AAA games are trying to sell millions. And the average person doesn't give a fuck about the "issues" the losers on the extremes on both sides get outraged over. They just want to play games and have fun. Indies are a different story as they sell many fewer copies and most need to cater to that hardcore gamer niche as they lack mainstream appeal.

I hate how bad ERA has gotten since it's inception. The amount of coddling, dog piling, and echo chamber bullshit that goes on has caused me to greatly reduce my posting over there. I will continue to visit the select few niche communites that I do, but I'm quickly learning that the mod team there does not view anything without extreme bias.

I would like to point out the Easy Allies OT community as a perfect example of ruined experiences by the overzealous folk that tend to be the most vocal on Era. To the point where they have thrown hissy fits over Colin Moriarty working with Brandon Jones on Colin's own podcast, trying to insult/remove people who enjoy Senran Kagura, and make disingenuous comparisons to certain folks as being as bad as known rapists (look up the comment that makes the comparison to Harvey Winestein).

Source? I know about the Skyrim dev who got banned, but I need source on that many others devs think it's toxic.

Well if they think ERA is toxic, why not post here?

Colin Moriarty (though not a developer, he is a well known critic within the industry with many sources and friends), Danial Vavre, the Soret brothers (The Last Night), the Skyrim user (who apparently was banned, first time I heard of that), are who I trust over people like Austin Walker or Jason Schrier, who have been shown to be untrustworthy folk.

As for why they don't post here? Burned bridges by the same toxic community that runs Era. Also some of those folk (like Jason Schrier and Austin Walker), openly are far left authoritarian's themselves.
 
See i think theirs plenty of arsehole's on this site , i really do some of them arseholes try to get as close to line as possible without actually going the full way , it is what it is , i have no interest in becoming saintly and trying to change humankind for the better ill leave that to Bono .

What i cant stand or abide by is sniffling little fucktards , who pretend's to be a good person and how his such a ally and he understands the blight of a black transgender midget in 2018 and he knows what wrong in the world , then to go and DOX someone from CD project Red over a lame arse tweet. See there is not many things in life i hate but one of them is hypocrisy and to me that what Reset Era stands for , if i could associate Reset Era with a smell , it would smell of Bullshit.

Resetera is a site of intellectual midgets who have next to no life experience , who need to be told what to be upset about , they need to be told whats acceptable in the modern age , And if anyone goes against that grain , they get you're arse banned , because nothing terrifies them more then differing opinions , this is the last time am going to say it , there is more and i repeat more open discussion with differing opinions in a two page thread here at Neogaf , then there is on a fifty page thread over there at Reset Era , Go look any thread over there the OT starts , then for 50+ pages its different people saying the same shit over and over again but in slight different ways each time.

That's that i wont comment on them anymore , really and truly they aint worth shit

You know the funny thing is that I was once dogpiled in a thread not long after the forum went on (ironically it was about my dog) and I got a short message after from a mod afterwards where expressed sympathy to me about that frustrating situation. Wrote him back that they should do their best to stop this because it's only going to get worse and.... look at where we are.

I'm just glad to see more and more resentment towards this crap over time. But this was to be expected. Most moderates sympathizing with those far left people do not seem to understand they WILL NOT STOP. They'll just continue to raise the bar until they piss off every single moderate out there. Some will get there sooner (like me), others later. I'm just waiting for the next big step. Seeing that many of those people are vegans I can see meat eating shaming coming sooner or later. Mark my words.

There have already been rumblings. Largely confined to climate change related threads from what I've seen, but it's there. And it'll only get worse.

While this is an extreme view, I tend to agree. There are a number of individuals there who I feel would NOT act like they do online in person. They act like their world view is THE world view. I couldn't TELL you how many things I hear and see on a daily basis that would ruin all of them. It is what it is. I'm glad I have friends who I can make harmless jokes about, well, all the shit that a place like ERA would crucify me for.

I was wondering what his tweet was about. They are some sad, pathetic "human" beings directing hatred towards one of the chillest dudes in the industry. Thankfully MOST of that thread still has a head on their shoulders.
Well if they think ERA is toxic, why not post here?
Like others have said - burned bridges but also lower population. The reason they're posting on forums in the first place is advertising and they will try to advertise where they can reach the most people.

I don't think you really watched the video. It's not that kind of shoutout.
 
What is even more insane, is that Zhuge and Shinobi are admins over there. Both people in the industry for different reasons. Either Shinobi's Wushu Studios game is going to be the most pandering story/theme to those types, or both of those guys are kicking themselves for falling into the trap and they can't get out at the moment. They are far less active I noticed than they were here and when the site first launched, and they never respond to requests to discourse about the problems there.

Blows my mind, really.
