When I woke up I was reading Era and everyone was going in on a thread saying gamers are shit and who cares about these pathetic video game playing men? Just one flippant spiteful hate filled comment about horrible gamers and how they are all so terrible and deserve to die. Then an hour or two later all those people huddle together to give sincere condolences and wallow in their own pity and how seriously they take mental health. It would be funny and ironic if it weren't so disturbing and anti human
Fuck these bullies. I hope they are reading this.

What the fuck? Why are you comparing these two things? Using someone's death to push the anti-ERA sentiment is disgusting.

The reality is that all sites have their issues. Getting to the point where people believe their shit does not stink has caused more than one site to have to start over.

Your avatar is NSFW and has been removed. Please set a g-rated avatar per community guidelines. Thank you.
Did those sites apologize to their visitors and are attempting to own up to their mistakes?

Are you really going to be obtuse and try and turn this into some kind of defense force horse shit?

Lets not forget "ALL men are trash" which was the consensus in that thread, accepted as completely normal and anyone questioning that was banned , it wasn't about some guys being assholes but ALL men, and yes as you see there's the self riotous comments in poor etika's RIP thread on how riotous there all are( bar the deserved mod bashing ).
I'm truely shocked in the past 2 days at how awful that place is now.

Seems like to me that some here aren't interested in changing Era and its moderation and are just using this incident to take cheap shots.

I'm patiently waiting for people to come around to my theory that it is part of a mass regression to infancy in which the path of least resistance for the males at the bottom of the social hierarchy is to opt out of the challenging transition to manhood. It's no coincidence that there is a significant correlation with the gamer / anime demographic and 99% of them look like zeta incels.

Inherent inferiority complex. If SJW or niche groups out there want a world of equality, then act the part as well.
You can't be blaming others for the world's sins and expect all your insults, assumptions and accusations to be waived from criticisms.
All that does is show a whiney group needing to be babysat like children slinging mud, while the grown ups (the people depicted as kings) has to suck it up.
That's what the whole adult vs children comparisons mean. You want to be treated like an adult, then act like an adult where all adults should be responsible and don't act like 8 year olds complaining.

They have created a situation where everything is black and white./us vs them. The moment you do not agree with the hive then you are a nazi/racist/homophobe/misogynist/right wing something or other. Nothing you say matters, nothing you say should be heard, you should be erased and according to many beat up/executed. There is no mid ground, no conversation, no middle ground, no grey area. You are the enemy. Period.
There is no learning that can be done, no teaching that can be done, once you wear the scarlet REE you are less than human and should not exist.
It is has been a fascinating yet disturbing thing to watch evolve since the beginning and a breaking point is inevitable. Look at threads like the artist thread or even the Neverland or Michael Jackson threads and many others. Try and present any evidence that Jackson was innocent and you will be piled on like the last crab leg at the chinese buffet. Try and speak against the reparations thread or the Biden thread.
Agree with the hive or die.

all they do is shit on "toxic gamers". note this means all gamers aside from them. these are people who spend an insane amount of time talking about video games and outspokenly wishing for people to die. these people think all the OTHER gamers are bad. they are the only good people. then they shit on "racists", and what do you know, the threads are suddenly filled with open and accepted racism. but that is ok, because Trump is a racist, because the South is racist, because Bernie is racist, because "the US is racist and i'm from Canada", etc. they really are all about projection. hating on others for the things you subconsciously hate in yourself. just a void of hatred.

Not directed at you. My post is directed at anyone or message board who whines promoting SJW kinds of things like "men are all trash" being ok.

Apparently supporting the departed was supporting bigotry. In the very same thread where the mods are baring their repentant souls.
My only regret is that the hypocrisy is hidden

No worries. Might have been my writing style. Sometimes when I just keep posting, I might be swapping in "they" or "you" so it can be misinterpreted as directed at someone vs. something.

yes sorry man my sincerest apologies, i was in between things and didnt read your post properly.
I completely agree.
Instead of actually working on the problem its a case of FU we disagree about everything you are( genetically based - born white male - you are the target ). Instead of rationalizing about it and trying to further improve things.
They are pretty much the racist bigots that they are trying to defend against.......the irony.

Sincerely wish you the best. Please take care of yourself.
Cunt.Resetera made a thread about it. Then this shit came out about a mod.
Now the thread is closed. They don't want to talk about how they can be POS but want to talk about everyone else who doesn't share their echo chamber opinions.
Cunt."Please don't call out my website for being a den of hypocrisy and hatred. Look! We care about mental health now! Now keep moving bitches."
Of course there's resemblance. Because it's the same people who used to be here. Cunts.

Rest In Peace, Etika. I knew the news was coming.www.resetera.com
"Honestly, yeah I agree. Sucks to say but I see a lot of resemblance to what GAF was as we got closer to the end."
Shocking.

Well, this specific thread is about discussing era and not remembering Etika. I believe there is another thread specifically for remembering Etika.
Also, as far as the mod team on era goes, this specific incident is certainly not the exception.

It's one thing to mod to protect the boards from calls to violence, serious personal attacks etc...
But to control the narrative at every turn is scary and/or cult like.
I think last count was 9,000 bans... that's just incredible.
And the ban messages...they are word salads of buzzwords.

I confess an odd amusement at watching people be placated so easily and so willing to go back to their sheep pens with just one staff post (which staff actions contradict even as the ink dries)

That isn't exactly a denial.
Having an opinion is fine but it is natural to question someone who is participating on GAF to stan for GAF's homunculus, especially considering GAF's history over the past year.

. GAF is getting plenty active again lately, so don't hesitate to reboot any threads you remember fondly. Anything will probably get traction.
They've been conditioned into compliance.

People used to use this dismissive and reductive line of thinking with GAF too. And just like GAF was, ResetEra is absolutely a monolithic entity. When members are strongarmed into either falling in line with the common orthodoxy or risk banishment, you effectively become part of a monolith.

I'm impressed that some of them called out the contradictions, though like you said it seems like all it takes are some soft words from the mod team and everyone drops the larger conversation about ERA's cultish environment.

Era does have an weird hate for youtubers/twitch so maybe that fueled it. I just hope everyone has a better perspective now that something like this happened. I hope it never happens again anywhere and not just era. I'm pretty sure Etika didn't even know era and it's more about youtube and twitter.RIP.
27 pages of shitting on him for having mental health problems and making nasty memes at his expense, mod endorsed:
Internet celebrity Etika may be losing it again [WARNING: RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC SLURS] (Update: hospitalized again; see threadmark/staff posts)
Etika is a popular internet personality and content creator / streamer who has a large following in the Nintendo and Smash Bros communities. He had a massive following on YouTube (700k subs I believe) but his account was deleted a few months back when he seemingly had a nervous breakdown and...
Pretty sad story and it was very much preventable with all the sign. I fucking hate the internet.

Will be doing the same when my ban is up. I do not mind eating a ban when I deserve it. Talking abut bigotry because of supporting someone who committed suicide is just bad form

1% of Era's 50,000 members posted on Etika's thread. And yet you guys act like all of Era was hating and doubting him.
