I do think the trans segment of Era could be one possibility for its ultimate downfall.
A lot of people like to think they're over represented on Era, but in terms of pure membership numbers, they really aren't. They're 0.1%-0.5% of the population there just as they are in reality (if not slightly more represented). They just happen to be really loud.
When you're a marginalized minority like that to the point most people have never even knowingly interacted with someone like you, there's going to be misunderstandings and a learning process. Most trans people acknowledge that and won't blow up on you the second you don't know some new term that isn't widespread.
Not Era. They want it to be a complete safespace where no fuck-ups are tolerated even from well-meaning people. Cerium will need to make a choice if he wants to cater to that very small segment of the forum. I imagine he wants to believe all the supposed "allies" on Era will be perfect with their language going forward, but that's just not possible as long as trans people are that small of a population. So the best bet is just straight up making it a true trans safespace where cis people straight up aren't allowed. If he got every single trans gamer in the world on board, he could probably make a good living off it. But that won't happen because a large segment of the trans population, gamer or otherwise, aren't fucking psychopaths like the people on Era. So he's stuck between a rock and a hard place in regards to simultaneously catering to normies and people that fucking loath normies.
If I were in his shoes, I would have just sold the place by now and let whoever's in charge next get cannibalized.
