Support NeoGAF

[Dick Jones]

At least a few people are calling it out in there. As much as Morrigan sucks, I know she'll have my back on stuff like Jewish issues and Israel.

Congratulations on your graduation to the colour grade White. Jewish people had suffered for too long so now is the time to abuse the privilege. We'll send on the privilege card in the post so you can charge everything to it. Only drawback is you can't mention times where your people were treated poorly based on their ethnicity on ERA. I wouldn't put it past ERA to now ban mentions of the Holocaust as it is derailing from the real problems of the world, Cloud Strife is too white for my screen and it would help my tv contrast if he was a transwoman of colour (but not Asian or Native American, I mean African-American but will say people of colour so other minorities think I care about them, but I don't) male deer.

Sorry for the bit of a rant there. It's been bubbling for a while. I hope you don't think I'm trying to offend you. The tone sometimes doesn't travel as well in text form.

Give it time. Hell, I even have a black Bruce Wayne comic pitch I've been sitting on I've been thinking of sending to DC. It's more topical now than ever.

But we'll get a black Bruce Wayne eventually. Not soon, but eventually.

I'm sure DC has been dying to your black Bruce Wayne fanfic lol

Should video game remakes/reboots change the ethnicity of the main character?

So long as it makes sense within the context of the game then sure, whatever. But don't try to pass it off as doing some sort of favor. I'd much rather NEW IPS with PoC as the leads. But devs don't know how to handle that properly, are afraid to mess up, or their higher ups see their profits...

The thing to keep in mind when it comes to ResetEra moderation and administration, is that none of these people have ever held a job that required lots of responsibility and authority. None of them are educated beyond high school. None of them have run a forum or any kind of community before.

They're retail workers, disabled people on benefits, low level military, etc. So the pettiness, poor decisions, inability to treat other adults with respect, all of that, should be expected. The only educated person among the staff, Cerium, who founded it, is fine leaving the forums to the wolves and collecting that ad revenue.

Honestly, being Jewish is precisely why I reject the "can't be racist without power + prejudice!" bullshit. Like 60% of the world think we have all the power. In their minds, they're "punching up" anytime they spout some antisemitic bs.

(Yes, this is a year old, but it went viral recently due to the surge of Karen-related incidents) There was also an article in the local news for that area: https://kfor.com/news/cashion-citizens-question-police-tactics-after-woman-tased-during-arrest/

Anyway, this incident right here is why I don't elect to give white people the benefit of ignorance when it comes to racism. Amy specifically knew what the consequences would be for sicking the cops on a black man. White people understand, at the most, that there are systems in place that benefit them just for being white and that they can use and weaponize those systems against people of color anytime they feel mildly inconvenienced or have their ego tested, whom they don't even consider to be people, by the way. We are forever animals, nuisances, and unwanted occupants in our own country, blessed to have what we little we have and, as a result, we have no right to tell them what to do, even if they are in the wrong. Don't give white people an out. Don't presume that they don't know how this country has always worked. Yes they do.

Yes, you pay an absurdly high car loan and work minimum wage jobs because of white people. Not poor choices you've made in your life. Must be so liberating to pin all personal responsibility on some the group.

The thing to keep in mind when it comes to ResetEra moderation and administration, is that none of these people have ever held a job that required lots of responsibility and authority. None of them are educated beyond high school.

I suspect this applies to the far left in general - they seem to despise anyone who actually wins an election (see leftie hatred of the uk’s most successful left wing prime minister Tony Blair). The reason is that in opposition, or in a low level job, you can sling mud and say you’d do better and that’s easy because you can pretend the consequences of your decision don’t exist (or be too stupid to actually be aware of them) but once you’re in power or managing people or just doing anything with a bit of responsibility the hard decisions come thick and fast. Those hard decisions rarely have a perfect outcome available in which nobody suffers, often the best you can do is choose the least shit option. In many ways I envy them their carefree existence, never having to be unpopular, never risking getting it wrong and screwing up people’s lives.

I know we're all sad that Resetera College for Game Design and Critical Race Theory wasn't able to have their graduation due to the COVID pandemic. Fortunately, they were still able to publish their yearbook and one of their mod's senior photos leaked out:

Does anyone know who the artist is? I’d like to buy that for over my bed.

From a business perspective of having such a forum, it's pretty much the worst business plan ever, start off well, alienate everyone and ban them to be left with only the crazies.
Hugely depleting user base and 0 attraction for new users.
Yep, that will last!

I completely agree. Hyper aggressive people like Nepenthe and Hecht are the last people you want trying to moderate or administrate a social group.

I believe this particular piece is from the hot new intersectional artist Irma Notakraker. The way ze plays with the lumps and undulations of the zir's healthy proportions, it's breathtaking to behold.

 

[Hecaton117]

From the recent Xenoblade 2 thread on the front page.

Anyone else think this post reads like someone became a born again Christian and has renounced their sinful pleasures?

They start off stating that they like the game and are happy that they got all of the rare characters in it. Then afterwards they feel regret and shame and people who enjoy the game and the female characters should be ashamed as well.

Of course it's more likely that they read some feminist screeds on how skin is sinful and forbidden and as a result have changed their outlook because they believe that their capacity to be a good person is gated behind them.

This could also be a parody post. But it sounds like something that someone would genuinely say so I can't really tell whether it is or not.

Theres like 3 forums that have ResetEra focused discussion threads.
Theirs a twitter account with more followers then ResetEra has that does the same.

People have been documenting odd corners of the internet since its inception and laughing about it.

If ResetEra was a person, it be Chris Chan.

It would be great if they did.

Imagine if North Koreans were allowed to walk to their border and look at the outside world? Do you think they would still think positively of their government despite it being hammered in their head life is great?

And you may be wondering "Come on, they're not that bad", but that's why there's 1000+ comments here. They are even worse...

I don't think you understand what i am trying to say. Alt account is against the TOS. I agreed, they banned my alt account 3 years ago and kept my regular account active. I am not even complaining about why my alt account was banned.

Anyways, few months after my alt account ban, original account was banned for "abusing the alt account" after I disagree with someone. So i just made another account, after few months that also got banned "Abusing alt account". This rat and mouse thing went on for 3 years, at first i thought there was a bot and I was randomly getting banned because of using same IP and got stuck in a loop. But each passing time i realized i am only being put under a microscope WHEN i go against the herd opinion.

Yesterday though, it sealed the deal for me if i even had any doubts about how the site is being run. As i pointed out above, i just stood up against the guy generalizing a race because of few bad apples. People started ganging up on me and I was gone within minutes and remember this account i have been using for 1 year. Reason "Abuse of alt account" . But this time i couldn't let go, so I emailed them and their reply was what i posted.

Here is a work around btw. Make a new account using VPN. Keep using VPN until its approved, once its approved you don't need to. However, as i said once you go against the herd, it will be put under a microscope and you will be gone.

So thats what i mean by i am finally done. If they would have banned me randomly one day stating you made alt account once, its against TOS and you are banned for life. Would have made sense. But the reason i was put under a radar for saying what i said yesterday, really connected lot of dots for me why i got banned the other times as well. So eventhough i know the work around, i am really done. They have no place for different opinion.

You do not seem to understand: Every account you created after the original one was an alt account.
First account - fine
Second account - alt
Third account (even if first and second were already banned) - alt
....
Yesterday'a banned account - alt.

If they checked every new account for being an alt, you could never have posted with accounts 2 and onwards, but they seem to only check when you break another rule on your new account. You can be in disagreement with the reason your last post was considered a breach of the rules, but it is clear that the actual ban reason - usage of an alt account - is correct.

It's all a big nothingburger, I mean ffs even 30 Rock has people doing blackface, and Tina Fey is as far as I'm aware not a massive racist and is generally well-regarded in the left.

All of my reee alt accounts are using seperate vpns ....they scan banned members ips against other accounts.

Gonna be a fun day when I get sick of creating greatest hit threads and reveal I was a troll all along

I’m still suprised the threads I’ve started managed to get them running with their pitchforks as I tend to think of the most retarded and dumb topic and apply a left view to it and it works...I log onto the alts to steer the conversation and soon enough we get some posts worthy of resetera takes.

This thread is so active because we just laugh at SJW and simps here, it's bigger than that forum in my opinion. But since a nice mix of them hang out there, it's easy to laugh at that forum.

Whats the point?

Inept, unemployed, uneducated, racist, angry, virgin people with no morality and no sense of responsibility or consequences talk to each other: I don't care.

Wow. Another original half baked comparison, that is absolutely brand new insight. This is not only asingle pearl of wisdom, but an entire string of them. Well done, you.

We get too many of the divorce/ex girlfriend analogies tbh. Here's one for Resetera. It was like when you have a mid-life crisis and start lashing out at everyone because you're fat and balding. So you walk out on your wife who was the best thing ever to happen to you. Your head gets turned by a new chick on /r/instagramreality and you bound over with your thirsty tongue hanging out and start feeling good because you get a lot of headpats from all the sycophants. You pay for a boob job for her and all the fake bake etc. Next minute the weight of the implants are pulling the skin loose under the armpits, the veneers fall off and you're left looking longfully at your first wife who looks even hotter these days

REEEEEEEEEEE V GAF

I doubt mods would be cool with them being posted here, but you can probably google them up. There have been ones posted on Era and other places since the whole 'hurr hurr capoeira ' thing.

 

[mr.dilya]

Oh I see. Well in that case, I was permanently banned in 2017 for making an alt account. And after every ban, I get the same generic msg "Abusing alt account"

I have been using this new account for over a year, and the moment I stood up against the guy who was generalizing a race, i got banned. Literally within 2-3min

I emailed mods and here is their reponse

It may seem confusing because they used my old user name, but I msged using that account because i no longer had access to the email which is being used by my new account lmao

You seem like one of those Indians who long to hang around white people and seek their approval. Look at you begging to be in their midst, going as far as to create alt accounts to post where you aren't wanted. Pathetic.

People here will coddle you just because they hate resetera. Not me, because I know you would never defend the honor of an Indian person with the same fervor you do white people.

If he was I’m guessing me finding out he was the owner of a cult site that promotes hatred/racism/doxx attacks would be the relationship version of me finding out he has a collection of used realdolls with wear and tear in a secret sex dungeon hidden below an old ladies house

That site looks like the scenario where artificial intelligence takes over the world. I found the topic about "Neogaf", 20-30% of those who commented on the topic were banned I love both sites, but I preferred to register for one, because the environment here is more fun. But talking about them in so many pages? I think it's awkward. Do you talk about North Korea or any other "bad" site that much?
