Nintendo is double-matching staff donations to the Black Lives Matter Movement, also has stayed silent all day #BlackoutTuesday
Artist at Nintendo confirms it, they have also not tweeted anything at all today, it very well could be because it is #BlackoutTuesday, they have not made a statement yet however. They do match donations a lot in various cases when something happens, it is still dishearting that they have not...
I like how they have a thread bemoaning Nintendo over not apperently support BLM even though they have another thread that implies otherwise.
Anyway, Activision, who bowed down to Pooh Bear last year suddenly cares about justice? Now that is what makes those brand statements a joke to me in my eyes.
"We are not providing a platform for Nintendo. Thread locked. Read official staff communication."

That's the thing. It really is all about power.
What if a corporation was making donations in the background and just really didn't want the publicity here?
That would seem acceptable to me.
I mean, it's not like the whole situation is lacking coverage.
It's interesting that they'd rather march each brand out in public to state "we are against X" or "we support Y".
The absolute need to see corporations come out and bend the knee really is more about flexing power.
Most major companies will have some volunteer and/or charity program for sure and I'd like to think that mostly it comes from wanting to do some good in the world.
Pretending to care to improve your brand image is greasy.
Hell, even if you do care but you are using it to promote your brand it's still a bit gross.
I just wonder how many brands are thinking now "we need to say something before the mob demands we say something".
In the end it raises the question of why brands choose to support some causes and not others.

two separate threads
double matching donating to BLM doesn't matter
hiring a black person onto the board of directors doesn't matter either
ALL THAT MATTERS IS AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT THEY CAN USE TO VIRTUE SIGNAL HOW WOKE THEIR CONSUMER CHOICE IS.

i think it's both. the thing is, a lot of Era IS in this high priest class. they ARE the media mouthpieces. they ARE the corporations. there are people over there who are literally making these games and writing these articles. and the meta way Era works, by keeping discussion tightly gated around pre-chosen talking points, provided by media articles, only enforces the importance of the Voice From On High.
any refusal to accept what the high priests deem TRUTH is seen as suspect. you will be excommunicated a la Kanye West for being a heretic. note how this is referred to as "the sunken place". the terminology they use reveals how they think this ideology elevates them above others.

This is a disturbing thread. The few sane people that already explained it was him giving the ok sign to the camera crew getting group piled on by the super far left hive mind is shameful.
The people on that board would start world war 3 if given the reigns of any power. The politics over there are truly frightening.

Try harder. I used to play Rugby and have tried American football.
Rugby is more dangerous and the hits are just as big as in American Football but less often due to the rules of only contact aloud on the ball carrier.
Most Rugby players are also over 6 feet tall and weigh over 130kg.

Nintendo capitulated to the mob, makes statement. Gotdatmoney (lol) is now pleased. didn't matter that Nintendo hires a black man as COO and President of the company. no, what matters is them making a statement in a Tweet.
Gotdatmoney claims it is "not a fucking political statement" yet of course if you don't say it in a Tweet, then you have bad politics, and will be trashed for it. TRY SQUARING THOSE TWO THOUGHTS IN YOUR BRAIN
and of course no virtue signalling can pass without taking the time to trash "some of yall in the last few threads". yes always pointing the finger. the need to publicly shame others could rival Indulgence-era Catholicism or Struggle Session-era China.

John Boyega on if He’ll Do More ‘Star Wars’: ‘You Ain’t Going to Disney Plus Me!’
The irony that The Mandalorian is more beloved than Finn will ever be. He should be so lucky as to get a D+ moment because his film career is not looking bright imo.

Fuck.
I usually stay far away from these sorts of discussions as I don't give nearly as much a shit about politics as alot of people seem to, but last night I thought I peruse the George Floyd threads both here and fucking resetera to get an idea of the takes from different angles. Sometimes you just wanna hang out and check out a car crash you know...
As usual discussion here is far more nuanced, with people actually giving some thought to the situation and mostly being pretty civil about it. But that fucking other place... They've gone full N.W.A circa 1988/89. Except unlike Cube and Co they're not doing it with mad poetry, and most of them are feeling second hand offended, seeing some moral high ground they can jump on, and then getting all outraged. You know, cos everyone else in their little echo chamber is
I mean, you have a thread full of people seemingly in agreeance that some 700,000 odd police officers across America, to a man, are all corrupt and power tripping and only took a job so they could get erections while beating down/shooting black people. Anyone who suggests that MAYBE, just MAYBE, not all of them are bad and its more like a few bad eggs making them all look shit, is shouted down and eventually banned. I guess that means all Muslims are suicide bombers as well using their logic. Or all black people are gangbangers who do drive by shootings in the hood every night (wait... might not be the best example right now...). I know Religion/Race and occupation are a little different but painting a whole group of people broadly with the same brush and labelling "BAD" hasn't really helped anyone in the course of human history.
The one excpetion to this imo is all Reeeeee'ers are fucked in the head. No exceptions. Well except maybe a few I still game with who are normal people and pretty sure don't partake in those threads. Actually, fuck it. They're fucked too cos sweeping generalizations are now the way to go and far easier to make then treating people on their own merits. *Goes to psn to delete half of friends list*
Also, are all these people that damn sheltered they haven't had any interactions with the law themselves. I'd almost guarantee most of them spouting that drivel have very likely interacted with officers on that very board without even knowing it. Pretty sure cops play games too (if thats even what that forums about any more) I'm Aussie so its a bit different here, but I've had quite a few dealings on both sides of the law with cops, and I'd say all but about 2 were great. Even when I was younger and stupider and got in trouble with them a few times, the officers I dealt with were decent, respectable human beings and certainly did nothing to treat me poorly. Oh and of the 2 that veered into dickish territory one was a traffic cop who 20 year old me decided to be a smart ass too, so I kinda had that one coming.
Anyway I could go on, like how alot of them are happy to incite 'protests' (not the R word though. Not an actual thing. All 'Copaganda' I think was the term they were using) but I'll be here all night typing.
Sorry if thats all a bit long and brings zero to the discussion. Its just I made the mistake to read that shit last night before bed, and then couldn't get to sleep for a few hours because I was that pissed off at some of the sheer nonsense I read. So I guess I needed to verbalise it some.
Lastly, I hope any gaffers in any of the hotspots over there are doing ok. Safe stay (or however that new in phrase goes)
Peace

"it's not a fucking political statement."
Wait, I thought everything is political to them?
There was one certified retired cop there. I dunno about others. He often got shitted on because of his opinions.
But I'm not sure a cop still in active service would risk being caught with his hands in that mess of a message board. Posting on Era may not kill your career in gaming, but I'm not so sure about a career in the law department...

he's doing a few things here. first off he means it should be expected. it is not "political" as in, it's not a thing you should choose to do, as a cult member you should do this BY DEFAULT and without validation for it. as in, "we expect people to behave in such a specific way that when they do, we will give them no special approval for doing so"."it's not a fucking political statement."
Wait, I thought everything is political to them?
it is a method of sheepdogging. they are always going on about people being "narcissists", you are not supposed to revel in your virtue signalling, because drawing attention to it is a no-no (it will break the spell). this falls in line with the socialism theme, the idea that nobody is special, your own ego must be sacrificed to the collective, etc. also the "myth" that the site is a hivemind (which they can't stand)
it is a way to berate people into certain behaviors all the while keeping them in need of your approval. the person is not successful with THIS virtue signal attempt, but they were given almost a taste, so they remain hungry for it. but you don't congratulate them, no, that would inflate their self worth, which must be kept at a low. once you have the behavior you desire, you don't reward, in fact, you punish. THIS IS THE SAME BEHAVIOR CONTROL USED BY CULTS.
remember that you can be cancelled (Excommunicated for heresy) at any time, so you are kept constantly in a state of needing approval.

The SA thing is crazy, Lowtax reappears the odd time to cry about having no money and wanting to move to Xenforo.
- Blames past staff (volunteers) on the broken site
- Makes promises he never ever delivers on
- Starts a Patreon that cries about it dropping even though he still get's nearly 8k/month for doing NOTHING.
- Then allows the lunatics to run the site and runs away again, over and over again.
It's pretty pathetic but this thread is about Era, so meh. whatever. Still quite funny though.
