If the transitions are legit, are there so many example of a FtM trans athlete coming in and beasting all the men so easily? Breaking records etc.

Personally I think it's a real gray area.

On one hand, I am 105% certain there are a number of biological women athletes who could kick my ass at just about every sport, gender difference be damned. Would being a man give a 100% chance of winning all the time, everywhere? No, likely not. Also, the hormones/etc that they go on to actually transition due have some impact, and after "X" number of months/years, it could lessen the impact their biological male-ness has.

On the other hand, the new thing is IF YOU SAY YOU'RE A WOMAN, YOU'RE A WOMAN! So literally anyone can just say they're a woman and need to be placed against other woman. This opens it up to literally anyone, and I can't see how this would ever be at all fair.

Why are these people being insta-banned for a month? It's sad that I have to worry that me even asking this makes me worried I'll get banned as well. Is this site taking the stand that thinking in any way that trans-women competing in with women opens the door to unfair advantages is necessarily transphobic? Can somebody not have the view that the intention behind separations of genders was meant to be around the practical understanding that male and female physiology is different and that can matter in sports. And is it transphobic to recognize that transition does not always remove these physiological differences? Like, I'll admit that I'm not as familiar as those who are going through these transitions, not anywhere close. But I am under the understanding that transition isn't the same for everybody.


This is entirely separate from whatever the transphobic Trump administration is trying to do and I don't really believe they are coming to anything here with any good intentions. But to me, the insta-month long ban on this is alarming. I am under the perception here that you can expect swift bans here now in a very inconsistent way. Not that I would necessarily want the exact same thing to happen with black issues, but it is clear that there is much more waffling on the moderation on those issues.

There is NO way anyone else posts that ^ and doesn't catch a ban.

So blacks are back above trans in the hierarchy again? I wasn't sure how the last summit ended, but clearly it seems like Trans are being put under another class (aka basically murdered).

By Trump. If Biden was president for life trans people would be deathless, and the surviving whites would be sent to the coal mines.

I don't think so. It's 99.9% always a man who transitions to being a female and then destroys female athletes in some sport nobody watches like the hammer throw or long-distance running.

Amd FTM don't get as much attention as MTF not only in sports but in general when it comes to the media.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm new here and I haven't seen the website before this week. But I'm looking at the ban reasons; I really hope you guys don't have as much... specific terminology. A different colloquialism for each and every type of perceived micro-aggression, diversified to cater to specific words used. I think a much more succinct "for being a silly" is far better than "drive-by micro-shill accusations with a history prior pseudo-infractions and hand-waving."

Welcome, the only people who catch bans here are for being a right cunt. Have fun.

True. They're almost invisible.

I do think it's funny when all the Reee trans members come out in those threads, like any of them are *at all* athletic. It's true, I think real women would beat them at every sport, ever, so it's not a problem for them.

" Transphobic concern trolling. Previously banned for pedantry in threads concerning trans issues."

Very big brained ban. Just say "trolling" or something. Even though I don't agree with banning people for saying negative things about trans, or that this isn't trolling. I think it's the over specification of language that makes them so weak to everything.

Fuck me I wouldnt be surprised. People are pathetic and sad these days where they feel they need to cling onto something to feel they belong or have a purpose in life.

I used to be a boxer, thats like me claiming im a trans woman who used to be a man, and I transitioned because I knew I could body everyone in the division.

fucking good, he didn't account suicide but I hope he does not come back.

So, Druckmann either:

- is aware, but doesn't care.

- doesn't know who Colin Moriarty is.

This is fascinating. I'll await the head explosions.

Moriarty did a history of Naughty Dog back while he was working with IGN. Druckmann likely only cares about real people he met along the way and not random poster srlsy? on a discussion board with a photo of a obese cat (seriously though what the fuck is going through someone's mind to put a photo of something so pathetic to be their avatar, it is likely fitting though)

Personally I believe that if the athlete has gone through puberty as a male before they transitioned to female that they should not be allowed to compete with biological women its inherently unfair because they now have the skeletal and muscular structure of a man.

Here's the funny. Most of the bans are people who say they are supportive but have some concerns. Re's answer? BAN.

Good job, take the people who are wrestling with a new social issue but generally supportive and ban them for sorting out their thoughts.

I am sure they will return even more supportive...

actually, some might be and this might be cult conditioning.

ResetEra is banning people for asking questions and not being enthusiastic enough in their support.

That's what always confuses me. If you want to engage with people and perhaps turn them around to see your point of view maybe trying opening a dialogue instead...

What good does banning people for having differing thoughts have? If anything it would just potentially foster more division and dismissive sentiments.

They're conditioning people to say the party line or face a firing squad. The fact that these people keep coming back is validating their methods I guess..

They don't care about changing hearts and minds. They care about keeping their respective groups happy and docile. The leadership knows they are one internal 'scandal' with a group like their trans members from a mass exile. And with the groups they cater to, it's a tight rope act and lots of 'customer servicing' to keep them placated. A ,mass exile would set off a chain reaction where the 'star developers' leave, the large amount of members silently pissed with their moderation will begin to spout loudly seeing them weak, and then the advertising evaporates.

This was always about power, control, and profit.

I was browsing old threads earlier looking at random shit, and it is so funny that like a third of the members are banned in many of them. I went down the rabbit hole of seeing why, and it's all shit that only juvenile stupid mods would ban.

I don't know how the site can maintain at this rate. They're banning people a mile a minute even for stuff like finding women attractive. Or hell even men sometimes.

True, there's only so long that they can deflect by calling all criticism as only coming from "Trolls" "Alt Right" and "Nazis". They are hated so much outside of their own bubble. That place only ever existed as a way to make a quick ROI as they planned to flip it to the first buyer that offered what was offered in the past for GAF. Except they fucked it up so badly, and have no idea what they are doing.
There was another member who offered to setup and pay for a new forum and he was quickly shot down as Cerium and the other "Investors" were not going to give up the potential cash cow they had stolen.

I think that there are many Era posters who enjoy these kind of bloodbath threads as much as we do. Over there, ban baiting is a beloved pastime. I imagine this Squarehard character is have a great time, and will no doubt be back to check back on the extent of the baited posters ban:

 

[Dick Jones]

If that's the case, then why has Druckmann become a virtue-signalling screecher who publically parrots REEE's talking points? A master cuck?

In my opinion (and that's all it is), I think that Neil Druckmann wants to occupy the same tier as Kojima making cinematic games that aim to continue to resonate with you long after the game ends. He wants to be remembered. Druckmann has a more serious tone in his approach (U4 was not the Saturday morning serial like its predecessors).

Sony told Naughty Dog not to put Ellie front and centre on the game's box. You played three characters in the game, two are teenage girls. They had a main character who was gay, but it didn't define who she was. If the pronoun for Riley was never mentioned (it was late in the game but not dwelled on), who would have taken Riley to be a guy? There was a secondary character, Bill, who was also gay but it was when Ellie talked about the male porn mag in the car that I realised Bill was gay. This all happened pre Gamergate. This wasn't anything Resetera or Neogaf pushed for.

When U4 was being cast, he hired Laura Bailey to be Nadine. Later when the character was animated, and she was a black South African, he could have either changed Nadine's look or change the voice actor he did neither. Those dickheads in Resetera still go on about it, ignoring the fact if it came out in public that ND whitened a black character, or Laura Bailey could sue ND if sacked and any future white employee leaving on bad terms could claim their sacking was racially motivated.

You say Druckmann preaches Era's talking points, I don't agree. I do think when someone is in charge they want to see all sides when making it. They dont want to fail and will try everything to see if something new could be found. I'd say the Anita thing was done to get a fresh perspective on things for U4 but she wasn't brought back for TLOU2 so he probably saw through her FF scam for cash. Now this could all backfire on me when TLOU2 comes out and every scene is 'Hey did you know Ellie is a lesbian?' and her attitude is diluted to being offended that clickers target lesbians disproportionately or some goofy shit.

Apologies for long post.

The Biden thread is just getting worse. Proof there is partisan fucking hacks that is willing to place party before ethics.

"But our Rapist will give us the judges we want. Shut the fuck up about your abuse and how this effects you. Shut the fuck up about the victim. This is reality" Btw- no one is getting a ban for this. Guess women aren't important in this moment.

Oh... their ethics... their virtue... completely out the window. It was always about party.

Maybe it only matters what Letter is behind their name all along and not who the politician was.

Honestly.....How are we supposed to defeat the cult of Trump when people want to sit out the election in November?

As my notifications on FB get blown up by a bunch of right wing nut jobs I have to wonder......how do we defeat people that are convinced this man is the greatest president of our life time? Everyone always says “don’t read the comments” No, read them.....and get reminded and understand that...

www.resetera.com

Their passion for hatred of things is matched by their sheer stupidity

you don't beat someone like that by basically being a left version sprouting the same hatred...being a reverse racist....hating straight people and generally being an absolute idiot

you do it by offering people an alternative that doesn't tread that ground......a majority of the population are sick of this politically correct social justice shit that has infested everything....the person that will win against someone like trump or the next republican after him will be someone who understands both sides and doesn't act like a spoilt child who gets their toys taken away from them like the democrats have

that's just my read on things
