I love that Cerium will stay on as a 'consultant' if ever needed. He knew this shit would blow up. He isn't posting again until Moba agrees to his consultancy rate. Cerium is going to milk 'em.

 

[Buggy Loop]

This guy is completely removed from reality lmao what a tool.

Well yea, it’s RedMercury. The guy has such a brown nose for kissing ass to one day have the honour of mod’ing era, for free

 

[funking giblet]

Can everyone do me a favour, and list their ethnicity? I want to know who I can be openly racist to, and who to walk on eggshells with. Wild definitions of racism welcome.

Spoiler

No, you cannot know my race, cracka

Cerium is a clever guy. Maybe he was the one who loaned Nepenthe for her car loan.

What’s the context here?

Home page, bottom right corner.

But like any website, you'll have spam bots, alts, and banned users all part of the count. Even a banned profile with 1 spam post can technically count as a member I think. But I don't know. Maybe the site is transparent enough to show only active users.

Oh, so not at all accurate then.

 

[ManaByte]

Which makes me wonder if Cerium had to disclose the true active user count before they paid him.

If not, oh boy.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Long time poster, same username as on Gaf, somehow got banned for being an alt.

I could understand it if the remnants of The Third Reich were making a breakfast cereal and had ads plastered all over "hip" websites like ResetEra, but in all actuality: what the fuck are they reporting?

 

[sobaka770]

Let me try to explain.

Imagine if you have fear to driving so you will ask to remove cars from Gran Turismo? Fear of dark? Remove all the dark scenes from games.

I agree that games should say at description what it has that can cause some issues (like spiders) but the game should be the game and not have something disabled because somebody can’t play it.

If you have fear of spider you need to avoid spiders… so avoid games with spiders.

The issue is that games doesn’t tell you in description and not that it doesn’t have a “option” to remove a feature lol

If you will carter and remove every phobia in the world then you will have no game at all.

I'm gonna hard disagree with that assessment.

Spiders are in a lot of games from Dark Souls to Diablo to Skyrim. However they are rarely a defining feature of the game, they are usually an enemy or a specifically designed creepy encounter. I am not saying all games should remove spiders but I can say (with my mild arachnophobia) Skyrim is a much more pleasant game when these enemies are changed to bears by a mod (the popularity of spider-bear mod should tell you all you need to know about it being a nice thing to do). And it's not like it lessens the experience of playing the game.

I think a lot of people have a much stronger phobia as mine and it's not that uncommon so I definitely see how it brings value to have an option like that. Why would you advocate for cutting them off from experiences in RPG or action game spaces that may have 1-2 spider enemies?

Your examples of a driving game makes no sense because in driving games driving is the core mechanic. You buy the game to drive cars.
You're not going to remove jump scares from a horror game.

But nobody don't buy a game specifically to fight spiders. I am not saying there should always be such an option - if you buy Bloodborne you should know you're going to see some very creepy monster design, but in games where spiders are just a type of enemy devs giving a damn about such an option is a very nice gesture. It allows more people to enjoy the actual core of the game instead of driving them away with a pointless "just don't buy it" attitude.

Aside from Poodle talking about account deletions and some about SEO and some 10 pt laundry list how he's feeling about the deal, looks like Bdubs and the rest of the mods disappeared talking about the racism/Cracker chat users brought up.

They're probably all in a discord chat coming up with a uniform "let's back each other up plan" so they all respond with something similar.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

all the other mods:

 

[killatopak]

I’m sorry but I’m not following the era thread right now. Are the mods actually responding to Trey and the others or are normal members defending the mods instead of letting them explain for themselves?

I thought the notion of what he actually means is isn’t accepted according to them?

Just a lot of people talking over one another.

They've been ignoring almost everything all day. Not a lot of mod responses like there were yesterday. Nep is probably getting a scheduled flea bath. Cerium is still sleeping. Everyone else is just volunteering so they probably didn't notice it yet. I'm sure they'll answer the questions as soon as they're able.

 

[Days like these...]

That place is the perfect example of Horseshoe theory. Glad I got Perma banned for being "racist" I hated being patronized and talked to down by wypipo mods

 

[Maiden Voyage]

"You're not good enough to get to talk to the white mods"

 

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

Wouldn't it just be easier to say that using a white racial slur against a black man is denying the black man's heritage, and thus is just as racist against black people as the black racial slurs? I mean, not that the mods are going to listen, but at least it'd get the point across in less lines of text.

 

[DGrayson]

I cant believe they are still talking about this cracker thing.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

What a bunch of crackerists.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

This is performance art.

 

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

Since I can't edit my post I'll just join in the jokesters with this image. I wonder if they know this game prototype exists?

 

[ExcitableBoy]

It's hilarious watching that place slowly implode.

 

[Moon Grape Donut]

Is this "Whites are bad mmmkay!?" thing something that really occurs in America, or is it mostly an Era thing?

 

[Punished Miku]

It may not have material impact on you, but it sure as hell is unforced emotional labor on Trey! Morrigan should buy Trey a coffee immediately on his Gofundme. Breakfuss will probably need monthly payments.

I think this all started last night. There's so many posts I had to find one and keep backtracking to the replied to post until I found this one last night after dinner where ex-mod started it off with some white dude Cracker comment. From there, she and Breakfuss went at it. And then KJack interjected himself into the discussion "as a Black man I'm getting involved", and some users would defend the post as it's ok if some Cracker shots are said against white people because it's not as bad as a joke against minorities.

As as you can see Morrigan even brings up that Black chick agitator mod Nepenthe who likes to dish it out to users.

From there, it's morphed into some users wanting mods to explain themselves in which last couple hours they all disappeared except Poodle talking off topic stuff like account deletion protocols and other boring shit.

Please can you change "member" under my user name to 'Snow White Cracker' please.

Yes

The next time someone says you are culturally sensitive, just tell them you haven't caught up on the meta.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

I’d love to see the mod discord rn

 

[Moon Grape Donut]

Trey makes some solid arguments, and he is part of a minority that the mods try so hard to defend with a level 5 clearance level as if they couldn´t like... have an opinion or express themselves, or listen to constructive criticism in a fucking internet forum.

 

[ExcitableBoy]

This is performance art.

So she is telling people how they should feel when racially abused?

Can you imagine if it was the reverse and someone told her how she should feel?

Also she has her face so far up the mods asses at the moment - like yes Kyuuji we get it, you want to be on the mod squad.

Can you imagine when that happens? Anyone without their pronouns displayed will be arrested and shot.

[TheMay30thMan]

I get the impression that this guy doesn’t care about racism towards white people. He just doesn’t want to be called a cracker as a black person. If they’re championing for all-invlusive environment that’s safe from racism, all racial slurs shouldn’t be allowed. Racism is racism. It doesn’t matter if “one is worse than the other,” or if one has a darker history. Treat them equally if that’s what you preach.

 

[killatopak]

Trey is spitting facts

 

[Coolwhhip]

I don't get why some of you try to decipher their 50 IQ posts about racism. Who gives a fuck what these people think?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Imagine a mod just coming forward and saying sorry, my bad. Crazy thought.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The next time someone says you are culturally sensitive, just tell them you haven't caught up on the meta.

To me, the context or lack of context is only part of the issue. Someone saying something as serious or as an /S joke can provide context of the joke itself.

But something more deep rooted like Morrigan's (and other users and mod's views) saying things like Cracker should be ok because "don't worry White people you cant be that fragile" goes to show the totally blatant pot shots they want to do at the expense of White people with the reason being it's fair game because somehow they are all stereotyped as rich people who can afford to take a jab or two as they drive their Mercedes.

Thats the kind of flexibility and latitude low lifes hope they get so they can take shots at people and then fall back on the "But I'm a special needs group and you're so big and powerful please gimme a break so I feel better."

Total asshole attitudes. But something I sit back and laugh because having some freedom to take shots at people still wont get you a good car or house. lol
