Defending against what, precisely?Yoshi defending the Resetera defense force agent, news at 10.
Going thru it is difficult better to just ignore it all & embrace historical ignoranceAre we seriously going to go back through every piece of art created in the last few thousand years and remove every instance of potentially offensive language? Might take a while.
Folks think that Reeeefugees showing up in this thread is a sign of the barbarians at the gates, when in reality it's GAF's second-most effective honeypot to spot the screechers early (the most-effective one being the Politics board)
This thread isn't so fun to read anymore and I'm getting tired of seeing the same few people getting uptight and fighting with each other over nothing. Feels like the poison is slowly trickling back in. Please chill, you are bumming me.
Don't misunderstand: I'm not saying any and every person returning from ERA "exposes" themselves in this thread. All are welcome, obviously.I don't know about anyone else but this is the only place where you can talk about the bullshit over there, so naturally it's going to pull in Era members who aren't part of the cult. Most of us were on here first anyway.

I am pointing out, however, that this thread has been a great way to hear Reeefugees on their way back through the door since they volunteer their thoughts very easily. Some of those people complain about ERA and why they finally left. Others seem to wander in cluelessly* and ask "uhhh why are you being mean to ERA?"
*and others are feigning ignorance on purpose to soak up attention. ERA is a breeding-hive of narcissists.
To the bolded: indeed, it is why this thread is important. Indoctrination is difficult to identify and/or to break out of unless there is a wealth of evidence and events and contradictions that the cultist must confront. Cognitive dissonance usually follows, then the cultist either breaks away (finally) or denies the evidence and their faith is redoubled.It does kinda beggar belief that someone could not understand why mocking ERA is so easy. I guess if you spend all your time in that environment with its ironclad rules and zero-tolerance which seem to be accepted and applauded by all (except when the mods aren't harsh enough) it's a bit of a culture shock to go elsewhere and realise how off-the-wall some of those positions are.
It's very cult like. Some of these people are indoctrinated. And I say that as someone who is left-of-centre.

Knowing about someone having said something bad in the past and not openly complaining about it has, to my best knowledge, not been grounds for any bans on Resetera. I do not think you give good advice to TaySan, considering he values his Resetera account. The accusations against B-Dubs are not that damning and TaySan would bring himself into much more trouble than it's worth it. In fact, I am pretty sure if he posts about this, sourcing NeoGAF of all places, on Resetera, he will just be swiftly permed and absolutely no action follows from it.
Also it can hardly be called fishing for attention when TaySan is being called out here by others.
I wouldn't say "seriously". I don't lose sleep over it, but it's hard not to see when you're already clued in to the characteristic behaviors of cults and indoctrination.Damn you're taking this shit seriously huh. I never thought about it in that way before haha.

I don't know what the end game is, nor does there have to be one. Narcissists exist everywhere and they tend to behave erratically, impulsively, and eventually flame out when their tactics stop working.So what's the end game to all this? Ad revenue? I cant think of anything else. How much money could possibly be generated there?

I do think it's interesting how this ERA situation all traces back to GamerGate which accused certain journos/gamers of trying to enforce their own political/ideological beliefs while cutting out their opponents through disinformation, slander, and forced bannings/deplatforming.
If Trump wins in 2020 I think it will be what kills the site.

Edit : I just noticed that Krejlooc requested a self-ban from Resetera. Am I late or is it recent ? I don't particularly like the guy, but I remember that he needed Resetera to survive and make money with his games. He's probably doing fine without Resetera now.
Lol You guys can be a bit dramatic at times.TaySan
You're a fairly established member of Resetera. You know about B-dubs words and deeds and you decided to brush it off, because you're afraid of losing your precious account. Instead, you prefer to spend your time here, fishing for attention and damage-controlling Resetera daily dumbness.
Some key Resetera members know about B-dubs words and past stances on certain matters, like defending "poor" pedophiles, on Gaf and other platforms. Or him throwing the word "nigga" around like we're on a sugar plantation two centuries ago. They also know about other moderators doing the same things, here and there.
Those key members are also aware that you knew and decided to swept things under the rugs. Those members are waiting for the perfect occasion to bring all of that in public (another KetKat moment I guess). When the time comes, they'll remember everyone of the choice you made : valuing your own little pitiful account and comfort instead of doing what you should have done.
If I understand you right, you value your virtual importance on Resetera. If that's the truth, you should speak about the problem on Resetera or ask someone you trust to do it, in my humble opinion. Things could turn really nasty for you if you decide to bet on your own luck.
Don't try to be smarter than life.
Lol You guys can be a bit dramatic at times.
Anyways I don't have any duty to do anything as far as B dub is concerned. He hasn't broke any laws. Maybe he said some shitty things in his youth he needs to clarify on, but nothing I need to report to the authorities. That dirty laundry isn't my business.

yeah amazing how they think they are victims, when you are posting fake images of them saying shit they don't actually say.Finale Fireworker

Great job, @Llyrwenne.
Nobody should be circulating fake tweets but we still got a good look at some irrefutable truths as a result. JKR perceives herself as an activist. Her followers perceive her as a heroine. They all perceive themselves as victims. The image was fake, but these things are still true. That's the meaningful take away here. They are rank and file transphobes.
Holy crap. Krejlooc was one of the most knowledgeable people about old hardware there. There basically was never an uninteresting Krejlooc thread.I just noticed that Krejlooc requested a self-ban from Resetera. Am I late or is it recent ? I don't particularly like the guy, but I remember that he needed Resetera to survive and make money with his games. He's probably doing fine without Resetera now.
It is a big staff, so it is not to be expected they are absolutely consistent, but it would be a novel behaviour for them, so I stand by my claim that it is very unlikely that TaySan has anything to lose by not attacking B B-Dubs based on those quotes. On the contrary, he would probably be banned for it.You make the mistake of picturing Resetera's staff and the members as reasonable and consistent people.
You know, my second perm was handed out to me for my posting behaviour on this site, what kind of strategy do you think it would be to try to regain my RE-account by posting here?That's probably why you think, after all those months, that you'll get your precious account back by trying to damage-control their madness on each and every occasion you have (you won't).
I think we would do good in not throwing around any unfounded diagnoses. Stockholm syndrome and autism must be the two most abused terms on this forum.It's either that or blatant Stockholm Syndrome that you should get checked.
I somehow have a feeling that E excelsiorlef has no issues getting attention, as long as she does not care whether it is positive or negative.Exceliesed or whatever the pseudo is, is the perfect example of that. The entire reason they behave like a huge dick online is to fish for attention they'd never get IRL.
I have no contact to Resetera administration, so I cannot say one way or the other, but that would be a pretty stupid reason not to ban excelsiorlef. If excelsiorlef is so unhinged to kill herself over a ban, she would probably kill herself one way or the other sooner or later. If anything, moderation would probably be more worried to have a reaction similar to Ketkat's ban a few months back, because for some strange reason, excelsiorlef seems to be pretty popular, even though she is incredibly aggressive and arrogant.That's also the reason why the staff are so reluctant to ban that Excelsiefled : They threaten to jump out of a window each time it happens and they're unhinged/desperate enough that you would be a fool to not take them seriously (sourced directly from one former admin I use to speak with).
They don’t care about real trans support, they want compliance. They want power, and they want to control the narrative. The reality is they don’t care who you are or what you are. You could be a black trans women Muslim. If you are against their ideology, they want you to get in line...or else.So I heard good things about resetera but I wasn't able to register until I started school and got a school email address. I tried it out and got banned for transphobia my second day of posting despite myself being trans because I thought it wasn't the end of the world that Bernie Sanders was endorsed by Joe Rogan and that I still support him. I heard that place was a spin off of here so I signed up here instead. I had contacted the mods and they extended my ban by a month. I'm not sure what I did.
Anyway hopefully there's a middle ground here between being overrun by Nazis and adjacent and enforced orthodoxy. I am a leftist but I feel that there's room for debate about things.
Papa ? *Looks the other way*Lol at Reset mods being "authorities" lol.
Matt404: "Help, I have fallen and broke my legs, call the Police!"
Cerium: "Police here, we will save your life citizen! We will put y- What's that red hat there?"
Matt404: "Some Maga hat, now hurry I am in massive pain! helppp!"
Cerium: "Sorry nazi!" *Drives off*"
Matt404: "I'm dying."
See what you did TaySan ? See what you fucking did?
In fact, I am pretty sure if he posts about this, sourcing NeoGAF of all places, on Resetera, he will just be swiftly permed and absolutely no action follows from it.
Tay you do realise that reee has gone after people for lesser thingsLol You guys can be a bit dramatic at times.

"Accusations are evidence" never forget.Jesus fucking Christ
Kobe Bryant's sexual assault case didn't even go to trial.
Its nothing like Bill Cosby, who has been convicted of rape and is in prison.
No, they'd call it off-site drama and taken out of context.Are you insinuating that they'd call it fake? Era may try to treat Gaf like Voldermort, but the site is a pretty massive part of their history and no one there can deny that. Bdubs posted here and unless they're going to bring up the asinine accusation of Evilore editing posts, it would be hard to deny.

You just don't know ERA like they and thousands of others do"The authorities"... Do you realize how knee-deep you are into that cult ? Man, wake up. Those people aren't authorities.
Telling you what will happen and how your account will get nuked into the moon isn't being dramatic.
Regardless lad, you're posting on Resetera. Resetera doesn't care someone didn't break any laws and if dirty laundry isn't their business. They'll jump on people because they used the wrong pronoun or the wrong word.
We have hundred of examples documented here and there. Just recently, someone who translates SNES games decided to end his passion because of Resetera harassment. We're speaking of a fucking video-game forum and real consequences. It stops being virtual when real feelings are involved. By posting on that awful forum, you support that kind of behavior, de facto. Is that being dramatic too ? All your reasons for not calling out B-Dubs fall on themselves : by posting on Resetera, you endorse and support the opposite.
So dropping n words was taken out of context?No, they'd call it off-site drama and taken out of context.
Bill Cosby may be the most prolific rapist in American history. It's not remotely comparable and totally disingenuous if anyone compares the two. I hope no one has, that would speak to utter poor intellect.Jesus fucking Christ
Kobe Bryant's sexual assault case didn't even go to trial.
Its nothing like Bill Cosby, who has been convicted of rape and is in prison.
Maybe discuss that with Resetera staff?Yet they cause all kinds of drama off site with their doxing and harassment campaigns.
Funny that.
Maybe nush will sacrifice one of his accounts to (in)validate my prediction.So dropping n words was taken out of context?
You know, my second perm was handed out to me for my posting behaviour on this site, what kind of strategy do you think it would be to try to regain my RE-account by posting here?
Assuming you are an average poster, probably no (disregarding the time limit).
Is that too far back....tell me if i posted that in era is still have an account 5 mins later?
I love my family, my friends, science, if we stretch it, also some video games and other media (Star Trek). Certainly not Resetera. Even while I was on Era, it was not even my favourite video game forum.Who knows ? People aren't always perfectly rational creature, especially when blind-love is involved, which seems to be your case. My diag are always right, I should make people pay for it but hey.
*BERNIE SANDERS THREAD ALERT!!!* (This must be the notice that gets auto sent to RE mods any time a thread with "Bernie Sanders" or some variation thereof is created).
At this point the mods look through the posts. Is this thread going their way, or is it positive towards old white man Saint Bernard? If the latter, LOCK IMMEDIATELY AND AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
And really, get some new material ffs. The terrible Bully Bernie Bros lul. We're going to eat your lunch and spit it in your face at the polls with rehashed smears like this. So once again, thanks for the boost. It is appreciated.
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
Locking this thread while we review reports and consider next steps.
Considering how old the comments are and the fact that you all are publicly speculating on trying to leak it I think most people would say that what he said is bad, but that Gaf is just trying to stir shit up for the lulz in order to try and get rid of an Era mod.Are you insinuating that they'd call it fake? Era may try to treat Gaf like Voldermort, but the site is a pretty massive part of their history and no one there can deny that. Bdubs posted here and unless they're going to bring up the asinine accusation of Evilore editing posts, it would be hard to deny.
