You mean on Resetera? That's what he wants to do, he wants to sever all of the ties with that forum. Looks like he is finally realizing just how much of the toxicity is that forum.

Well the name change is to hide in the crowd, so that makes that hard to believe.

I suggest posting a giant cock with a few choice words, then screenshot 😉

Again, can you post examples?

Ironically, I actually believe Neogaf is the most progressive when it comes to politics.
For example, I recognize both mainstream left and right-wing parties as being corporate pawns. Neither party represents my interests, but I only support the Conservatives because they are closest thing to "Liberal" was 20 years ago.

On Resetera, no such nuance exists. If you don't support LGBTBBQQ2723y82 you are literally hitler. If you don't hate all men, you are literally hitler. If you don't hate yourself, you are literally hitler.

Resetera is serious about painting everyone as Nazis, whereas Neogaf is more likely to be skeptical of government in general.

Come the fuck on lol, glance into any thread involving feminism or MeToo or hell, just peek into the politics forum and check out the topics and replies.

Here: this is the thread about the upcoming dem debates, literally the entire thing is just shit talking the left.

Even the language you all use here "MSM, cuck, soyboy" it's basic /pol/ bullshit and incel talk.

You can't honestly believe this place is progressive when all it does is harbour disgust for anything remotely left of centre or against conservative values.

For example, imagine someone actually stanning for feminism here, do you think they'd be met with tolerance or derision?

I've been thinking of requesting an account closure ever since this came out. I think I'll do it as soon as I've been able to clear out my name here.
Judging by how things are handled over there they might ban you anyways before that happens just because of what you said here. We will see.

I don't like witchhunting and I do hope you can clean your name but it all depends on how this story will end and if youre indeed clean.


Also being clean yourself doesn't mean knowing and ignoring what's happening infront of your eyes is any better.

That sounds like a way to hide something too. Don't do that. Get it banned if you want but dont try to erase anything. If you wanna own up then own up. Can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm willing to believe you but you have to understand that the site is looking very guilty and your making it look worse not better.

Let me just ask this, is anyone in that cord a pedophile or has a history of looking into content like it that the staff just ignore?

Doesn't really require much thinking, to be honest, but you do what you believe is the right thing.

Just remember though, the hive-mind bullshit you participate in and influence over on Era just isn't going to fly here. People will shoot you down for it, and you can't really blame them.

Yeah, that should suffice. If you say it's gone from your discord server list, then you can do a screenshot that proves you're no longer in that server.

Okay, here's my current discord server list. From top to bottom, the first is a discord I made to play overwatch with my friends, the second is a Pokémon discord, the third stands for "Dropsite" and I just drop links so I can grab them on Discord mobile. The fourth is a french blindtest server. The fifth is a french mario server. There's no era server anymore, at all.

Do you plan to still use and browse a place like Resetera? Why did an admin have no say over what the mods were banning people for? If most of you knew that the site's moderation acts insane, why did an Admin do nothing about that or the pedophilia content found in that server and elsehwere?

Sorry but secret discords like that are just automatically sketchy to me. There's no reason a sales discussion like that needed off topic discussion or not to be a public forum in the first place unless there was something to hide. Speaking of, I recommend you make a thread on Era explaining all of this as well and use your connections to get them to allow discussion so this doesnt look any more suspicious. Banning people from talking about it just makes them look more guilty.

I do not want to browse anymore Resetera. I was not aware that it was a place so hated, and am here to clear my name fully from it. I just want to precise that there wasnt pedophilia content in the server, otherwise I'd have already run from it. My posts screencapped in OP were misinterpreted. Admin of era had no particular power in the server ebcause, since the server isnt affiliated with era, they were first and firemost here to discuss game sales.

I have no connections with era anymore to make use of, because as I said I'm cutting ties with the server or suspicious people close to it.

Haven't been on here since the split happened. Just saw this last night and woke up to find that the mods/admins are granting these users name change requests (you can still find their accounts if you search for their old usernames) on ResetEra instead of completely banning them and disassociating themselves with them. Gross.

Ok. I certainly am willing to listen. I have a question for both you and L LuigiBlood

Are you still part of that discord. Did you see the pro pedo conversations being had? Did you leave the discord because of it? Did you say anything to mods about them?

No one I know is a pedophile or remotely interested in that content, apart from the user you people pointed by digging his twitter account and of which I was not aware at all. He never discussed that kind of vile stuff in my presence.

I'm not a part of the discord anymore (I posted proof in a previous post). I left the discord server once this situation blew up because I didn't want to be affiliated with pedophilia accusations. I did not see any pro pedo conversations because none happened in my presence, as the posts of mine screencapped in OP were misinterpretated. If I ever saw anything suspicious or straight up dangerous, I'd have reported it immediately.

Fantastic, I just found myself blocked by Zhuge on Twitter and I've never been anything but respectful to the guy as I enjoyed his tweets on the Chinese market and sales stats.
Suppose this kerfuffle made a lot of people freak out and dig in for the long haul, roll out the block lists/bots.

Yes it is, why are you all so scared to admit it?

Is it just a coincidence all the talking points here, mainly anti-feminism, pro-gamergate, anti-MeToo#, pro-Trump just happen to be all the same talking point from /pol/ and other far right shitholes?

Like why even deny it? Anything even slightly to the left you all leap on and berate, anything even remotely progressive is instantly considered evil and lol worthy.

At least don't pretend this site isn't what it is, have the balls to be honest with yourself.

Betty, you can think modern feminism is not a great movement, be pro-gamergate because you think press is fucked, thinking MeToo is a movement that some people are using for their own benefit and also vote for the president you think will do the best. Because, you know, it is a free society. What is wrong with having this opinion? Could you explain it to me? What does it have to do with "far-right shitholes"?

I say you need to read the entire thread if your only take away was "cuck soyboy".

Nope, Neogaf is just highly skeptical, that's all.

Again, context is important.
What exactly is someone "stanning" for when it comes to Feminism? If they can have a rational discussion backed with evidence, there should be no issue.
But if they only come here to say "All men are rapists! I hate how video games are turning people into rapists" then of course backlash can be expected.

You clearly have an issue with reading comprehension.

You can be against feminism while still being pro-egalitarianism. Being anti-feminism doesn't mean you hate women or don't want them to have equal rights. Many left leaning folks are not pro-feminism - or do you mean to tell me that they are all secretly right-leaning/alt-right folk? Same concept goes for #MeToo.

Most people here don't agree or outright disagree with GamerGate. It isn't a black/white subject. People here can discuss what they think of it, what parts had merit, what parts didn't, and the clear and obvious hit pieces made by gaming "journalists". We allow people to discuss like adults here, not try to create little echo chambers to coddle them from different world views.

Most people don't participate in the politics threads. Also through basic critical thinking you would realize, just because you may agree with one action done by Trump or his group, that doesn't immediately mean you are "pro-trump". The vast majority of Americans are like this.

I, and many others here, are left-leaning/liberals. We criticize idiotic actions whether from the left or the right. What you call "slightly to the left", most would consider that to be extreme left. Many "progressive" actions are not progressive, but regressive in nature. "Toxic Masculinity", the universal OK hand gesture being considered an "alt-right symbol", the denigration of white people because of their skin colour, de-personing people and family because they support the right/republicans, doxxing, etc - all these would fall under regressive actions that you and yours seem to think are "progressive".

Have the balls to stop drinking the kool-aid and think for yourself for once.

you.
Another thing to point out is that mods are banning anyway who brings this up and changing the OP. Like I don't get what benefits they're going to get protecting these users, unless they have some dark ass secrets in that discord server that they don't want coming to light.
Is there any proof, if I may ask? Well, asides from that one post where someone said to let the community discuss about the incident in good faith.

Ok. I'm starting to believe you but you didn't answer why the Discord was private to begin with. I know all Discord require an invite but how come they had to have their own private sales discussion? Also you say he had no power but he seems to have had a position of power IN that server too based on the user list on the right.

Also, why did this post only get a warning not a ban?

You know mate, even if you are not twisting the truth here, the way you acted to the OP beforehand and the way this site tries to protect you and the others is highly suspicious, and you know, I am not sure if anyone is going to believe you tied cords with that site instead of changing your username and getting back to it, the whole thing is suspicious and your own non-explanations are not helping you to clear your name.

He did. He stated the discord was private to prevent randoms from entering and causing console wars.

I thought that by laying low I would be able to get out of this situation I never wanted. I thought that, since I didn't cared much about my era account anymore, I'd just request a name change to get rid of that name, and to not be affiliated with those accusations. It's clear now it was a mistake, and so was me DM'ing OP aggressively. I'm very sorry about both of those instances if they contributed to the perception of me being guilty. I really want to clear out my name.
 
Having read and posted on both ResetEra and NeoGAF, I would hope NeoGAF would be better than this.

As a transgender person who was permabanned over a "transphobic pm" that wasn't actually transphobic, I'm going to have to respond to your defense of ResetERA with a resounding FUCK YOU. The website is hypocrisy incarnate. The fact it's also a pedo nest on the side is just the final proof we need to try and take it down. I suggest you sit back and watch the destruction.

The discord was private because we didn't want console warring of trolls in it, as we were discussing sales numbers and those discussion can get heated sometimes. We just recruited the people who often talked about sales on era and seemed cool.
I'm not an era moderator or admin so I don't know why is this only a warning and not a ban.

I'll be real that doesn't sound like a good excuse. I know console wars still happen obviously but going private doesnt mean you're gonna be rid of that. Especially when such off topic discussion can happen like... Well whats in the OP. Didn't want to be rid of that, but consoles wars? Sound the alarms.

If LordKano is so innocent then why the threats about suing the OP and telling her to BE GONE

I didn't threat to sue her. I (aggressively, I admit) told her that she may be in danger of a lawsuit by someone else who was ready to do it. I know the OP since we had some discussions about all sorts of things on Discord.
I also didnt tell her to be gone, although I get that it could be interpretated that way. I said "à la revoyure", which is simply means goodbye.

So what is it, an Era server or not at all an Era server? Getting mixed message here.

The server was not affiliated to era in the sense that, although it had people from era, it was usermade and also had people who weren't on era. It was also not subject to era's authority and didn't reflect any of their thoughts.

That makes you look super guilty. Not saying you are but by trying to change your name and run as a first instinct, it's not a great look. Props to coming here NOW but you should've done that first.

Whether you believe L LordKano or not, it's good to see him here respectfully engaging in discussion.

If he is indeed innocent then hopefully he is able to clear his name and cutting ties with that discord server is a good first step.

Requesting a name change on Era however wasn't a smart move and just makes it look like he wants to hide and run away which is usually the behaviour of a guilty party.

I do want to give him the benefit of the doubt though, especially since there isn't any direct evidence that he has any kind of pedo tendencies.

Pedophilia, lack of enforcement, censoring all discussion after getting exposed. There's something familiar about all of this...

So a large chunk of GAF moves to another forum for a fresh start, but old habits die hard.
