This is hilarious coming from /r/games which is a subreddit that banned April Fools posts of all fucking things a few years ago to draw attention to social justice issues and ruined a fun day for a lot of gamers. Their mods were the same as, if not worse, than Ree mods.

If you see your unpaid mods collectively approve racism against white people and you still stick around on that forum to talk about genders in video games, my god what a humongous cuck you are then. I mean, god damn.

If you see unpaid mods collectively support pedophilia and encourage active discussion on it and you stick around on that forum to talk about spiders in videogames, my god what a pathetic excuse of a human you are turn. I mean, god damn.

It was all fun and games and jokey to make fun of white people until it turns to straightforward hate and full on racism. "But systems of oppression!" My ass. Just be kind and understanding to anyone. It's a good start.

I just wanted to say that it warms my heart how we can have all of these differences here on GAF, Twitter, Reddit, IGN Boards, VG boards, GameFAQs, you name it. Political divisions, divisions over games and consoles and platforms, industry practices, fucking sports - everything. But when it comes to ResetERA the entire fucking internet comes together like the Knights of the Round Table to rightfully shit on their terrible mods, culture of rabid harassment, and absolutely incoherent performative wokeness. It's fucking glorious. This thread and the laughing at Ree on Twitter and Reddit and pretty much everywhere has made my week.

No no no, you can't just do that, don't be silly.

You need to devise a complex and illogical moral system making heavy use of whataboutisms to justify your desire to attack people for their skin colour and ban them for using whataboutisms and tell yourself you're not racist or hypocritical. It takes a lot of jumping through hoops to do all that and still pretend you're the good guy, and if you don't understand that then you're obviously alt-right

Going with his logic can i shout n***** to a black gaffer as long as i have some cool, level headed, anonymous buddies (who coul be black!) laughing with me?

Sure! General Manager of Recetera B-dubs approves!

I ain't saying shit without an incident manager by my side. I may be dumb and gullible, but at least i didnt post on ERA

 

[toastyToast]

I just wanted to talk about videogames, man.

 

[clem84]

I know Cerium didn't post on Era that much so his silence over there isn't very unusual but has he been active anywhere else since the buyout or has it been complete silence? Given the grievances folks have over there and the laughing stock Era has become over this situation, I'd be kind of embarrassed.

 

[Doczu]

Ohhhh look at that!
We've got a migrant from ERA. First post in 4 years. You need a blanket, some hot cocoa and a hug, or are you one of those thst need a bullet in the back of their head?

I didn't post there nearly as much here back in the day. Mostly moved because so many of the posters I knew did. It was cool for a little while but the cynicism just got too strong and the "personalities"

Just look at how inspid the announcement thread got. What the fuck is that? I thought they were mad?

Please start talking, tell us everything....

Haha. I wasn't too deep into the matrix for any interesting observations. It was just a populous videogame forum to me

The moderators only care about preserving their little sphere of influence. The issue isn't about the unpaid volunteer moderation, but the owner of their forum selling out his own community and by extension the values it was founded upon. The moderators are deliberately reframing the discussion in order to deflect from the real issues at hand. Even worse, they are accepting their new corporate overlords with open arms, because they are afraid of loosing whatever online power they hold. They view their own members as nothing more than a means to an end, hence why they can so easily speak down to them. This is the community they created and what is happening to that place lies squarely on their shoulders, shitty leaders lead to shitty outcomes.

As with any dictatorship, those who are in power are unable to comprehend why the people don't love them. If only the proles would stop criticizing their leadership and be grateful for being berated and taken advantage of, a true utopia could finally be achieved. They have become everything they hated, opportunists in positions of power who are unwilling to listen and ready to defend evil in order to cling to their positions.

They have been sold, like slaves, to their new masters but instead of fighting for their independence and ideals they bow. They have betrayed themselves by joining rank with the faceless advertisement firm instead of listening to their own community so that they could draw a line in the sand. We all know what would be the right thing to do, instead we get to watch them squirm like little worms with their contortionist justifications.

It is not the community that is hurting them, but the slow realization that they have finally revealed themselves as the hypocrites they are and no amount of sophistry will ever amend that betrayal. They have become their masters' pets, the rats and weasels who would turn on their own people so they could keep feasting. As such, they have lost their ability to grandstand, to point fingers at others, to tell others to be better since they themselves have shown to be so so soooo much worse.

Their thread is the distilled echo of their community's righteous disappointment and the mods can't bear the sound of it.

To be honest, sort of

I can't remember these layouts for shit so I keep getting lost when I get a new power. I know there's a map but that'd be throwing in the towel

 

[EdGalTBR]

As a brazilian, the perception that media give us is that all american young people are like ResetEra stupid cuck progessists. GAF shows me how media lies.

I wonder that american buddies also might buy some lies, like that our president is a genocide fascist.

Fuck the mainstream media.

Hmm, I hate bringing politics into this but Bolsonaro ran a campaign fully based on anti-gay rhetoric. I should know, I'm Portuguese and the mass exodus of gay people from Brazil to Portugal is real. He's not a genocide fascist but he's great at division and fuelling hate.

Seriously, the guy made a Devil may Cry clone with an ancient Greece skin and people acted like he was a fucking game Mesiah or something.

To be clear, I know you were being sarcastic, I am just smh at the reverence this guy still gets from some people.

She used to make (and sell?) furry costumes. Not sure if she's still doing it.

Things get more juicy, folks. Hidden cam footage of Cerium and the sale negotiations have surfaced, which explains the relatively low price of under 5 million:

Given the grievances folks have over there and the laughing stock Era has become over this situation, I'd be kind of embarrassed.

Why would he? He finished up his long con and disappeared into the wind. He was probably packing his suitcase while posting and set off for a well earned vacation before planning to meet up with his financial advisors to decide how best to use the capital going forward. Why would he be embarrassed in any way whatsoever, he will be grinning from ear to ear about what he has just pulled off. I see it like selling a second hand car to some gullible well off fool that looks nice and shiny on the surface but one that you know is going to breakdown and be scrap after a couple of hundred miles. It may be way past its prime but this story is ripe for that Spanish laughing guy meme.

That's the thing with the site. It's an off-topic section with a gaming sub and their brand of off-topic is internet famous. I barely ever saw any of the nonsense in the few official threads I frequented. The wider site just got less and less appealing over time. It's just boring

I started here in 2009 and man, it's hard to describe how nuts the gaming board was. The level of activity was insane. People were going nuts. Console warring, gifs, game tech comparisons turning into dick measuring contents . I was on here all day and this was right when I got a PS3. I cared about the enthusiasm about games not the community.

Oh and in that gif Al was being pretty woke at the time. That last sentence would get him cancelled nowadays lmao

For anyone wondering just why jufonuk Maiden Voyage and myself are running an autist screenshot party here's your answer. They delete, edit and retcon anything that makes them look bad.

 

[cormack12]

I thought Cracker/cracka was like nigger/nigga from the Treyvon Martin case. Given who originally started the whole shitstorm, I'm guessing they knew exactly what they were doing. To coin a phrase 'you ain't slick mods'. Ironically the guy pushing back is called Trey - coincidence? But he's right - it's easier to just say we only want your content if you're white, otherwise listen as we educate you (from our poverty stricken backgrounds where we were kept down by whitey and never had the same breaks, opportunity and education). This is why we are qualified to deal with intersectional issues without prejudice.

I don't like Cerium but I respect what he pulled. Ofcourse, apparently he is from a wealthy family, has his connections to start such a thing in the first place, but he pulled it off.

He played those self righteous SJW. They were against capitalism and all kinds of shit, they worked for free. They provided the content. They kept the forum alive and growing towards some point. He cashed in when he noticed their peak growth (which is prolly 50k ish members, its not really growing further).

Exactly what I was permanent banned for. Saying "leave the bullshit" out of Halo threads. Not even directed at a particular topic. ERA mods showed their true colours and applied their usual USA black and white, trans agenda. Pathetic. GAF like games and tolerates saying your peace as long as you're not a total asshat.

I woke up. Glad you have too.
