Boyega thread is a funny one. they were butthurt when he tried to stand up to his corporate overlords last December saying "you ain't gonna Disney Plus me" and now they are pretending they always loved him.

Some posters are just chasing the highs of indignant outrage and social justice. I wouldn’t expect too much logical consistency with something like Boyega or other issues like COVID-19 and the lack of social distancing with protesting.
You could spend a week digging up posts with people saying that COVID-19 was literally killing grandma and are now cheering on riots and protests.

This Boyega 180 and arse kissing reminds me of another black "celebrity" they threw under the bus til it fit their narrative.
Etika.
Also, what's this "stan" shit I keep seeing people fling about? All I can think of is the Eminem song? Are they saying people are super stalkers?

Maybe Jack_Package_200 finally understood the joke or was told that Finn was going to lay his female penis into Rey so we can have Star Wars first canon (except China and Russia) interracial lesbian couple.more from the Boyega thread. 6 months to go from trying to cancel him for a "sexist" joke towards a fictional character to calling him "King"
Poor lad was hounded by the wrong Tico.
Side note: isn't Allison Brie of Community married to James Franco's brother. Has she called James out for his male toxicity? I thought not. Shouldn't Jack_Package_200 be banned for promoting sex offender apologists? #metoo

Are these people simply incapable of seeing all the good will they're squandering with the way they're acting this week? The murder of George Floyd was not a contentious issue. Everybody on planet earth who saw the video agrees he was murdered. Everybody was cool with the protests. Then all this shit happens. Doxxing, literally forcing people to bend the knee, neighborhoods being invaded by looters, untold amounts of property damage, people getting shot to death by their fellow "protesters," FUCK WHITE PEOPLE amped up to 11, the anxiety they're causing with these nightly riots fresh off the heels of the coronavirus, agitating police officers, etc.
I'm done with this shit. This is not about George Floyd anymore.

Basically, someone has to subject themselves to that insanity long enough to hit 300 posts to remove the junior status from that website.
EDIT: I should elaborate. Not only subject themselves, but actually interact. That means trying to put out meaningful posts/threads without inciting a reee-rage.

I always hated that. Hearing 'Shut up Junior' and knowing the vultures would circle the newer member and tell them off to feel morally superior. I remember having to bit my lip once because at the time you knew sending a 'How about fuck you?' would get you banned. That was the fake SJW mods here that lied about Evilore and fucked off over the ERA.

ALERT ALERT "so fucking sad" people said things to YAS QUEEN Rian Johnson during his Moment of Virtue Signalling
what are the horrible replies that made this sycophant "so fucking sad"? top reply:
a lady pointing out that Rian joked about leaving Finn in a coma for the whole movie because Boyega's character was literally an afterthought in the writing process. these are Rian's own words! THE HORROR!!!
a POC furry anti-cop activist who is upset Rian didn't bother giving Boyega the role he deserves.
LOL it must really be hard to try and pretend Rian Johnson doesn't have a racist bone in his body. it's like a 24 hour a day job for these people. is it really so fucking sad that people still speak out about whitest richest fattest bearded baby Rian doing a shit job with his POC characters?

Can you imagine trying to explain to someone outside of this little bubble that the following is a BANNABLE offense:
"People should be hired based on talent and credentials. Not the color of your skin or race or sex."
For sure you could convince me it's getting a ban on some extreme right wing racist group that ONLY wants to see whites getting certain jobs.
Right? Maybe if you think an Indian doctor is the best man for the job he should get it. They'd say "NO this is 'murica, jobs for 'muricans only".
On a videogame forum? No way.
I wonder if a reason why so many of them seem a bit messed up is because of the constant effort required to believe two completely contradictory views of the world.
"Discrimination is bad and should be erased completely from the video game industry". Strongly agree. 10 Virtue Points.
"People should be hired based on talent and credentials. Not the color of your skin or race or sex." Strongly agree. Virtue Points Removed! BANNED!
It's quite funny because it actually reveals their own hidden racism.
Think about it.
Scenario One - White Guy and Black Lady both apply for the job at a mostly white company. White Guy is the less talented candidate but gets the job. Raises suspicions of prejudice in the workplace. At the very least hiring was NOT based on talent and credentials. ResetEra condemns this.
Scenario Two - White Guy and Black Lady both apply for the job at a mostly white company. White Guy is more talented candidate and gets the job. Hiring was based on talent and credentials. ResetEra also condemns this.
Unfortunately for these idiots they put themselves in a bit of a bind here.
WG - more talented. BL - less talented. "Most talented should get the job" = Banned from ResetEra
WG - less talented. BL - more talented. "Most talented should get the job" = All OK on ResetEra
It SHOULD be the case that the statement is a bannable offence only when the races of the candidates are known.
Think of that as Schrodinger's Bannable Offence.
However it is flat out just a bannable offence.
So the only way that "I think the most talented person should get the job" is a bannable offence on ResetEra is if ResetEra themselves actually believe that there is no way a non-white person can be the most talented candidate.
What's fucked up is that the extreme right stance is basically:
"We don't give a damn who is better, American jobs for Americans ONLY".
There's no racial "supremacy" there. They literally just want to discriminate.
The ReetardEra stance is:
"We think the white ones are all better but sometimes you have to give the less talented person a job for diversity".
They literally believe in white supremacy but they feel guilty about it.
How disturbing.
The far right white supremacists see themselves in some racial "battle" where they have to fight and do anything they can to prove they are better than an actually worthy opponent. They have this hatred and anger and horrible, toxic, bigotry but that is fed by holding other races up as this legitimate and capable threat. It's ugly, it's wrong, it's abhorrent and it has brutal consequences.
The far left whites on the other hand treat minority groups like your little brother who's rubbish at Smash Bros. You let him win sometimes anyway so he won't feel so bad and you probably feel better about yourself too. They don't actually hate people of other races, genders, etc but they sure as shit don't respect them. It's not immediately harmful so at least there is that.
ResetEra can at least say they aren't as bad as the extreme right wing racists. After all, your younger brother could grow into a very awesome Smash Bros player on his own which is obviously better than using blind, irrational, hatred to crush him entirely.
Doesn't exactly make you a paragon of virtue though.
This kind of stuff just makes them seem like nothing more than white supremacists with unbearable guilt.
The correct worldview for a fair and just and reasonable society is ACTUALLY:
"People should be hired based on talent and credentials. Not the color of your skin or race or sex."
In the US it's probably true that the people who end up in these videogame jobs and had a relatively wealthy family and lots of support and good learning facilities and decent equipment to learn on and good prep work for interviews and mommy probably ironed their suit the night before the interview and picked out the best tie blah blah blah were mostly white dudes.
Soooooooo.
Donate to programs that give less privileged people a leg up.
Volunteer your time.
Get in touch with government officials and keep badgering them about programs and grants etc.
Identify areas where people may have less opportunities and HELP THEM.
Or, you know, just talk a lot of shite online and ban anyone who wants to inject common sense into the conversation.

So when real problems arise, these people step up, but otherwise everyone takes care of themselves and their own families.

LOL.
I love the idea that you can cherry pick a few things that the cops have to deal with and be like "see, look how life would be so awesome without the cops".
The problem with all of that is you need the individuals within a society to exercise personal responsibility.
Possibly the only way you'd have a "no cops and no crime" human society would be to develop into some post-scarcity situation where everyone has everything they could ever want.
Do we even know the specific cause of certain other, more serious, crimes?
Sure it would be great if the city employee just fixes your car and all that.
What happens if my neighbor is knocking the shit out of his wife and kids? I need to go round there and get beat up too? Or is this new neighborhood pussy patrol going to go and sort it out? What if the guy just knocks the shit out of them too?
Or am I missing the point where this is more like a dystopian future where everything has nice colors and fonts but actually Mrs Smith who was behaving erratically gets taken away to the "Ministry of Safety" to "get the support she needs"?
These goddamn people.
Anyone who wants to understand the need for Law & Order just needs to think back on their high school days when the teacher left the room.
Some of those people NEVER grow up.
Look at how folks behaved with COVID-19. FFS the people MAKING the rules couldn't even obey them.
Anyone who ever had to use a public toilet knows why people can't just be left to do their own thing.
It's pretty ironic that the ONLY way this perfect Utopia could come into being would be through an EXTREMELY authoritarian system with the people being under CONSTANT surveilance.
Of course anyone who steps out of line will "get the support they need".
It's the language used and the nice friendly colors that gets me.

You call +311 and a trained Attitude Correction Squad pays them a visit.
1 hour later they are taken to a learning facility out of town where they will learn to be a better citizen.

IMAGINE...
You call +311 and a Special Snowflake Safe Space Officer gives you an instant, free, therapy session.
1 week later your neighbor hasn't been seen or heard from since the night you made the call.

Your friend starts dating a woman that everyone describes as *trigger warning - misogyny* "really, really, hot".

An expertly trained Equality Assurance Unit visits her home and puts her on a specialized Force Feeding Program.
1 month later she is Healthy At Any Size.

oh my god that thread is just.. beyond stupid.
Most of the things on that list are already done.. by Police.
If they weren't done by Police. They would *always* need someone with the powers that police have to enforce - Because people aren't always the lovely flowers they should be.
Example
> "Your friends are intoxicated & fighting but you don't want them getting in trouble - Imagine you call +311 and a crisis intervention team comes to your door"
Yes, also known as the Police. If some random city employee rocks up without the powers or oversight the police have then they'll be as useless as a wet fart.
> "You are experiencing partner violence"
Yes - You probably need the police to get you away from said partner and to protect you after. They can't do that WITHOUT THE SAME POWERS AS THE POLICE
> "Someone is behaving erratically & in harms way"
Again, you need SOMEONE WITH THE POWERS OF THE POLICE. Without the powers of the police to forcefully intervene & stop that.. What are they going to do exactly?
> "Someone seems to be snooping in car windows"
Holy christ they actually suggest that someone comes who is "trained in self-defence" and "De-escalates" the situation - HOW CAN THEY DO THAT WITHOUT THE POWERS OF THE POLICE. A hardened criminal would just laugh at someone who has no real powers to stop them.
It's like they watched Demolition Man and thought "Yes, lets copy the police in that"
