I'm guessing it was this:

it makes sense that they would take that down, because it's kind of fun and completely harmless.

Harmless memes and these fucking chumps take it as a chance to go white knighting for a ruthless dictator.

I see those idiots over there once again argue whether Orcs are racist or not. Fml.


It's a Terra Torment topic, a known problematic internet user with a long history. It's just been written up to feed her attention and stir people up. Ree will very soon no doubt regret letting her In and ignoring that history.

Essential reading.

When normal identity politics runs its course and it's old hat, you need to go into fictional ones.

They are right-siding-of-history so hard right now. Peak right side of history.

This is the noble battle for this exact moment in history.

They are literally killing orcs in the dungeons right fucking now! And for what?! The capitalist drive for better loot!?

RPG games are so problematic and a form of oppression.

It looks like a reference to K-On. Is it the weebify that resetera mod were referring too.

Edit: And now I have the K-On music in my head. AAAaarghhh

Yeah, the running with toast thing was a meme around April Fools day. It's about as mirthful as it gets.

It is sad that we now start a generation who will never know the mirth and merriment of making the Land O Lakes lady expose her buttery Ta Ta's.

LOL, the first person responded "no" and got banned for "drive by trolling". Correct answers are trolling now? So much for them hating alternative "facts".

This is some amazing logic to say Tolkien and his creations are racist even if they're not:

"I'm pretty sure Tolkien said himself that his orcs weren't meant to be a metaphor for black people, but that doesn't mean subconscious racism didn't influence their portrayal without his realization."

Era displaying how racist they are by conflating orcs with black people.

Normal people dont look at Fantasy characters and jump to the conclusion that its representative of a race of people.

They did this same shit when some crybaby journalist wrote about how cleft lips were being made fun of in rage 2 and how it made him feel bad but the developers ignored him (shock!).

Some idiots were trying to equate what the journalist was going through to what black people went through pre civil rights movement. That was the final straw with that place as far as I was concerned.


Absolute fucking idiots. Imagine being a game developer and pandering to that lot.

I can't get my head around this one.

I get the distinct feeling that 4chan started this one. Kinda like the OK hand sign.
These fucking idiots get played like a dame fiddle.

Might need to spend a little time diving into this one, while they were at the precipice of their downfall as the weight of their own hubris toppled them off the edge.

If the theory is that some old racist guys invent the idea of Orcs as a "dogwhistle" while simultaneously denying that this is the case then what's the point?

Surely in the 1950s guys like Tolkien would have totally gotten away with racism? So why go to all the trouble of covering it up like that?
They knew that many decades down the line it would be seen as completely unacceptable and so they were ahead of the curve?

It's funny because you can imagine the difficulty of writing a fantasy story that is intended for entertainment value but you have to account for each and every grey area and offer a nuanced take and you absolutely must NOT write characters that are purely "savage" and brutal and evil.

Then you turn to the same people who demand that level of nuance and try to convince them that maybe Trump isn't all bad or Conservatives aren't all irredeemable scum and they simply will not entertain the notion.

It gets to the point where people who look for racism absolutely everywhere will inevitably find it.
Yet anything goes when it comes to their own ideological enemies.

An absolute belter of a post from that thread that shows how DUMB these kind of conversations really are when the people having them are so utterly clueless.

MrConbon210: They only become werewolves though once every month during the full moon though? It’s not like a vampire where they have to hide for half the day. I thought if anything it was more supposed to be about HIV/AIDS which yes, are more common in gay men. My only media I’ve read with werewolves is Harry Potter though lol.

There you have it folks. Mythological creatures that date back hundreds, if not thousands, of years are actually "about" a virus that first emerged in the 1920s and didn't really take hold of national consciousness in the USA until the 1970s and 80s.

This is the level of stupidity right here.

Didn't we already cover the "Orcs = Racism" thing back when the LotR movies were releasing? People didn't buy it then, but I guess recycling it for the twitter generation is worth a shot.

It’s still never not surprising the lengths they will go to in order to feel oppressed about something. They view everything in the terms of racism even if they look and act nothing like the race they assign to them. And of course TaySan is in there whining about people shouldn’t be made to feel bad.

Very prophetic, its a great thread which highlights the insanity of that hate forum, no skimpiness for female clothes, should be fully covered and fat/ugly, except of course if the female in question is a rapist and dominatrix( i never played Drakengard 3 so just going by the comments )

IIRC, that thread is what got me banned. I posted the last picture of this comic:

That is all these people do in that thread. Apparently the comic was created by someone from "gamer gate" and I was "promoting gamergate/alt-right" with that comic. Fucking retarded.

We need to have the name,so that everyone knows what piece of [...] s/he is. Didn't like the crunch, ehh? I hope you enjoy being unemployed for quite some time. Unless you want to work in McD instead of gamedev


Resetera cares about developer's work rights, condemns crunch, claims to not encourage harassment and public lynching ... EXCEPT WHEN THEIR PRETTY MOVIE GAME IS LEAKED. 🤦‍♀️

You think these people actually care about anything they claim to so passionately care about?

When it's time to act (act as in make a real difference, not just furiously tap away on your keyboard while being signed in to Twitter) these people don't do a thing. Before the Internet was a thing these types of people lived on the fringes of society, or they were in psych wards.

Yep.

Btw sorry at whoever mod edited my posting. No console warring intended. Nintendo fans look just as bad when they defend Switch' lack of voice chat. All fanboys suck.

Here's something I wondered ages ago but forgot about. You know that "Why women criticise sexualblahblah" thread? Doesn't it seem like a whole lot of guys use that thread as a place to safely post pictures of sexualized anime chicks with their bits out... While putting on a performance about said pictures?

Like, "Look at this character design! Isn't it so problematic you guys?! Check out the way her breasts are just hanging out! & look! You can see her panties & everything! I for one am disgusted by this & that's why I've posted pictures of it"

The problem is that era likes their cartoon porn in a certain age bracket as apparently cartoon porn of young children does not make you a pedo

Mods now saying how much more progressive they are after yet another thread on Joe Biden’a rape accusations. Was plagiarize part of


plagarize said:
I'm proud that our community, is talking about this much more than other spaces. As much back and forth as there has been here, that there's even a discussion puts us ahead of most places.

I want Biden to step down, but given that stories detailing Reade's account in the NYT and in the mainstream media hasn't shifted polling one bit, and given that Donald Trump was elected President despite being on tape bragging about committing sexual assault, and given that the list of men accused of rape or sexual assault who suffered consequences in any way is extremely short (and the list of people who suffered when there wasn't or couldn't be charges filed is even shorter), I've come to the conclusion that despite #metoo that very few people actually care.

And that there really isn't much partisan difference there. That's depressing as hell to me, but that's the conclusion I came to.

Reade was right to come forwards, and I severely doubt that any Biden loss will be attributed to his actions back in 1993.

We've still got a shit load of work to do to fight for victims to be believed.

Maybe when (and if) this story isn't playing in the background of novel Coronavirus news, it'll start moving polls, but I have so little faith given the world around me that it's going to.”

yeah i saw that lol what the fuck? the board has been very shitty on this situation and it blew up in their face and caused multiple longtime posters to leave or get banned. really wonder what the fuck plagarize is "proud" of because the fantasy of a board that has taken the accusations seriously is about as far from the truth as could be. they tried their best to ban anyone that discussed it and to keep it separated into it's own thread so that nobody could bring it up in any of the primary or general politics threads for as long as possible. they tried to bury it like the cowards they are. gtfo with this "i'm proud of this community". lol what a dicksucker.
