Support NeoGAF

[nush]

The site has just gone to shit and the mods need to stay firm.

It's a dysfunctional relationship from both sides.

They need to have their bluff called. I'm sure some of the more credulous hangers-on are making a new forum but it will fail because, as many people have pointed out, they don't want a trans utopia forum with 500 members. They want to shout at people and they want thousands of people watching them do it and patting them on the back.

So call their bluff. No politics in the gaming forum, no hostility, even to people you have decided are Nazis, no more bans for differing opinions etc etc.

Put in a an announcement and let it rip.

Then perm the first ten people who hurl abuse as a warning to the rest.

See what happens.

All hell will break loose but when the dust settles you're probably going to end up with a better forum and most of the userbase. There is definitely a chance they will pull off a second exodus and take the vast majority of the users but it's going down the tubes anyway so...

 

[Throttle]

If they [owners] really want that site to improve, here's a list of people they need to get rid of...like yesterday:

ZeoVGM
Hobbes
Kyuuji
Banshee McSpook
Khrn
Astro

There are others, to be sure - but pruning those thorns would help the rose grow stronger.

I genuinely feel sadness for the few good people there.

I hope they all become admins

Think I'm #TeamAdmin for this particular skirmish.

Would be a good idea but we all know that will never happen. They don't have the balls. (no pun intended )

I think siding with the nutjobs would be to support another exodus, rather than keeping them in their Internet zoo.

I'm in it for the most drama. I think I would ultimately prefer for there to be a second exodus accompanied by all the shit that went down when it happened to gaf (it's already happened a bit with 'ban me' threads popping up but hasn't reached critical mass). But I don't want it to be as successful as the first one was initially. I want half the users gone and the other half remaining and then both groups sniping at each other.

Anyone reach out to ace reporter Jason for his article on this. He is part of ERA and there are allegations of transphobia in a place he frequents. Surely there is a story here.

He doesn't have a book going on sale soon so his involvement will be minimal.

He was their PR rep when they launched running an advertorial on Kotaku for them. He's involved.

 

[Lunarorbit]

I got banned for a month for saying that when Chris Pratt flashed Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones in an episode of parks and rec it wasn't sexual harassment.

Hey maybe I was wrong but that seemed really harsh to me. I only had a warning about Port begging before that.

I would have argued that they were coworkers and comedians and while it was inappropriate to flash them we don't know what relationships they have with each other. There is no nuance most of the time at that site.

almost 200 responses bragging about how much better their financial situation since the wuhan virus.


i actually agree w/ them, but the irony is hilarious

I know he was involved from the start.

I'm implying he's a cowardly shill who will clam up if things turn south.

Its a common blooper as well. Where he walks in naked, think some of them are even on the parks n rec blooper reel. Uou can see any and rashida laughing. Steve Carrell does the same in the office bloopers and you can see Jenna laughing as well.

It's a stupid toilet humour joke for people who are comfortable with each other and the cast. Even John Krasinki had a few bloopers where he walked in with pants down (underwear on) though.

Sexual harassment /smh

I'm #TeamLetItBurn personally. I did my best to improve the place, I was pushed aside for that. Now I'm enjoying the drama as an outsider and seeing when they blow up for good, so that the sane part of the website can either create a better place or find a way back here.

 

[Barry Burton]

A new context to use their favorite image!

 

[Astral Dog]

i don't like ERA they don't celebrate videogames (on a forum) they don't celebrate the LGBT community either (only in name but not really) or god or their country or food or, anything. many don't even like each other they are more like a huge woke cult looking for blood.

 

[cormack12]

Its crazy how something becomes 'the new thing' and then its over used everywhere for months by people trying to use it as a public display of how they get it

 

[Jill Valentine]

God they really love all these labels and putting each and everyone inside a group and then one group against the other...

Lightning Returns was alright. I never did finish it. I fucked up by not making enough monsters extinct for when you do the gauntlet with the time limit and my borderline autistic ass wouldn't let me finish the game, nor load an old save file to try it. Obviously on hard difficulty with no outside help. I managed to cheese most of the game with an outfit or weapon I bought in the desert (the vendor is RNG I think?).

I don't know if it was better or worse than XIII and XIII-2 but I sure as fuck hated all the needless dialogue to start every quest.

 

[XXL]

Resetera (and super woke progressives) imo are just a massive group of narcissists. A lot of people have misconceptions about this condition. I mean....

"Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others."

Here is more on narcissism

What Are the Nine Traits of a Narcissist? 5 Types & Treatment

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), or narcissism, is a personality disorder characterized by a sense of grandiosity, the need for attention and admiration, superficial interpersonal relationships, and a lack of empathy. It often accompanies other psychiatric disorders and can be difficult...

The signs (and all the sub traits) line up perfectly with what Resetera is all about.

Forum Banned (Permanent): Promoting alt-right rhetoric

 

[cormack12]

Someome creates something moderatelt successful. But we need these harpies to run it and show everyone how they are doing it wrong. They only create drama.

Let them make their own forum. Call their bluff.

 

[Cob32]

If the trolls running the Banshee McSpook or Kyuuji accounts are reading this, it's time to start pushing for ZeoVGM to become a moderator and the trans community won't accept anything less.

 

[ConanTheKing]

Is anyone siding with the nutjobs?

Yeah me. I'm a troll at heart so I am with them. It's like being a fan of the Sith instead of the Jedi and just wanting to see everything go to hell.

Well I'm glad someone still reminds me as the one and only FF13, Lightning and Toriyama's true fanboy in the old gaf days

I still proudly wear Kagari's stigma under my name!

 

[Evil Calvin]

Just looked at that Cyberpunk "transphobic' thread and on one of the most recent pages someone posted 'God I hate white people!' If that's not racist, I don't know what is. He wasn't banned. If it was reversed then I would be banned for saying that about black people. Those people are the most racist, close-minded idiots. They portray that they are all-inclusive, liberal and open minded but god no they are the worst. Most toxic place ever!

This guy was terminated at : white straight man.

He never had a chance.

Btw, wtf is this need to qualify gender, ethnicity, pronoun and whatever else before expressing any opinion?

Shouldn't we focus on the opinion itself?

What a perfectly decent, sensible, honest and level headed post.

Ableism & Era

While I am a new member, all things considered, it is already clear to me that there is an issue with albeism on this forum, it mainly manifests itself with both members and staff being dismissive towards those with physical or neurological disabilities. Gaming side is particularly bad at this...

www.resetera.com

Yeah, why can't other minorities get a piece of the TransERA pie?

We don't measure the opinion itself, we only measure the number of boxes the person giving the opinion ticks.
☑ POC
☑ Woman
☑ Trans
☑ ESL
☑ Poor
☑ Elderly
☑ Disabled (physical or otherwise)

Thankfully, most REEE posters tick the last box at a minimum

It's itching to create an account there with all those stats. I will be king!!!

I didn't check this thread for a day or two, and it's gone from page 786 to 800. I'm going through 786 now and catching up. Up to the 'pound sand' comment kicking everything off. Anyway...

 

[ozz ex machina]

Any news from Kyuuji?

That fucker got me perma banned because I said the safety of female professional fighters is a concern when fighting male fighters who have transitioned to being female after they are fully developed male adults.

God damn I wanted to go down with a good post but foolishly didn't think such a sentiment would get me perma'd.
