Hey Era, my daughter wants to be a furry!

So you know how kids are with their interests, my daughter has taken an interest in the whole furry thing. Here is a picture of the mask she has been working on: She did that pretty much all on her own outside of us procuring the materials and offering suggestions, which is pretty rad. I...

Kanye West is responsible for police brutality against black people

did these woke SJWs break out the racial slurs? it's Kanye OF COURSE THEY DID

 

[Coolwhhip]

Be a member? None that I know of. But you can absolutely encourage others to donate and join such charities.

For example I have made monthly donations to St. Judes Children's Hospital for about 5 years now and I regularly encourage others in real life and on social media to do the same. Yet in all that time I have never stepped foot in a St. Judes facility or attended one of their gatherings.

Would you say that I have not properly supported their cause as a result?

Okay attending protests and donating money then. Donating money takes sacrifice too.

One of the endless examples they are not about supporting a cause, but they just want to hate on people.

 

[Ron Mexico]

It’s not a matter of attending versus not attending a protest or supporting a cause in person.

It’s the combination of moral grandstanding and virtue signaling that is so...self-serving.

In another time sure, you could say “well how do you KNOW their intent?” I’ll give you that. However, when you have a sample size the history of Era, it’s not exactly a leap in logic to see the motivation.

They want to be part of a “thing”. They want the dopamine hit of the sense of righteousness. They just don’t have the skill or the will to get in the thick of it but what they do have is time. Time to scream from the roof...er...forum tops about righteous they are.

It’s also why their groupthink evolves every time there’s a new twist or a new angle to whatever the major story du jour. They need to adapt as they go to maintain the dopamine hit. So they don’t just want someone who follows the groupthink. They want someone malleable enough to mold as the groupthink moves.

So no, you don’t have to physically attend to support a cause. A very large number don’t. A similarly large number also don’t feign moral righteousness while they do. Some just do what they do because it’s the right thing and leave it at that.

Would you say that I have not properly supported their cause as a result?

You sound a bit like me. I give money to the guide dog association, shelter and adopt-a-beehive. Like you, I've never attended a rally for guide dogs, shelter or gone to the beehive farms but I will always suggest them as worthy causes. That's because you and I seem like regular, normal people in life.

As Ron Mexico states though, it's more about the juxtaposition of outrage versus action. Those causes above are worthy but they're not life changing. I'm not going to be posting ridiculously about how everyone should be saving bees or making it the key part of a cause I identify with or have strong feelings about. On the flip side, if I then started doing this about the EDL is bad, and we need to do something, constantly bringing them up as a menace to society and how we should all stand united and making it well known that I find them abhorrent and disgusting, then the expectation is that I would attend EDL opposition rallies. And if I didn't I would expect to be asked 'why didn't you go? It's only 30 mins on the train and you've been strongly opposed to it for years. Why aren't you doing anything?' - And if I didn't have a grade A excuse I would expect to be called out on it.

What makes it worse is that an opportunity for change like this will be a once in a generation thing. Now the asshole looters and rioters have dwindled, this is the chance. To bleat on about it so consistently and with such fervour and vitriol about any opposition, and then just sit there with cheeto's stuck to their face as they tweet is just a bit hypocritical. If you give off the air of someone who is so staunchly behind a cause, then yes I'd expect more support than a monthly deduction, a retweet or froum posting. Otherwise, yeah it's probably iportant, but not as important as saying you're for the cause than actually being there.

 

[Coolwhhip]

When someone is dangling from a ledge, barely holding on and about to fall off you can do 3 things:

1. Take action and help him get back up (protest)
2. Send money so someone else can rescue him (donate)
3. Send a Tweet that you care about this man, just before he falls to his death

Apart from media made in the 1950s, I've never seen such liberal use of the word c**n as that site. Is this generally accepted as a black person insult to accuse another of being a race traitor? I always thought it was an old racist term by racists that thankfully died off, but its popping up again but only on ERA.

really looking forward to the cancellation of that smug SNL bitch tbh.

i mean, unless Era are complete hypocrites about this too and give her a free pass, which, well, actually, i can see that happening...

 

[Chase Lebowski]

Their obsession with statements (or lack thereof) on the current events from videogame companies is one of the most stupid shit ever. The statements are the same thing as those ads for COVID "we are in this together... so please keep buying our product. "
"FuCk CaPiTaLiSm... but also praise our multi billion company overlords who put out a very brave statement."
Now, donations are a good thing, don't get me wrong, but it would still be delusional to me to think that that money isn't basically just for marketing.
Also, "influencers who don't speak out are basically white supremacist, if they speak out are great... unless we didn't like them in the first palce, in that case, they are obviously fake.... "


Just like we weren't in this together, BLM doesn't give a shit about the meaningless .jpg from your favorite kiddy game company. It's only them who are obsessed with that, because even in the important matters they have to act as the usual SJW.

 

[Ymir]

Lol they're calling cops murders because a woman supposedly had an asthma attack from tear gas. You knew there would be tear gas, if you have a condition that you can't breathe it in then it's on you if you show up and get injured.

That also excludes the fact that there seems to be no real proof, there's just claims that she died from that. So more unsubstantiated news as PROOF that ACAB. You'd think them whining about NYT being fake news would have woken them up...

Have you been out protesting?

I am just curious how many people on here have been able to go out on the streets in their community to protest police brutality and violence against black people. No judgement, but I haven’t seen an actual poll and I’m super interested to see who has been. I am planning on going out in my city...

Watching Resetera eat itself and decline over the past couple of years gives me hope for the incoming woke takeover of Western society. Remember the promises of a "better way" when the split happened? Remember all the verified devs and journos who jumped on the bandwagon? Promises get broken and the left never delivers.

Once they get any power, the permabans will come for minor infractions, the half-believers will be pushed away and eventually expelled, the people who demonstrate “free thought” will be banished and it will all collapse in on itself. Alexa rank is the new pew poll.

Who knew a video game forum split would be so prophetic.

The right side of history, my friends.

"Right side of history" is such an absurd phrase. History doesn't take "sides". The Soviet Bloc during the Cold war thought they were on the "Right Side of History" too, and look what happened to them.

This is just the left-wing equivalent of religious conservatives saying "God is on our side." Like that phrase, it's just an excuse to be arrogant, self-righteous, and hypocritical.

Pretty much every poll on Resetera asking their users if they backup their online opinions with real-world actions has shown that at least 50% of them don't. There has never been a bigger forum of keyboard warriors.

[Goro Majima]

ERA is a lot like Twitter where moderate and level headed opinions get steamrolled by prolific posters posting the most extreme of opinions. Once you realize that you aren't getting really any feedback (positive or negative), you just kinda stop throwing your opinion out there.

As we've seen with other polls (race changing video game characters for example), there are a whole lot of lurkers or low activity posters who likely aren't drinking the kool-aid quite as hard but still browse ERA because of its size.

They also might be discouraged from posting because they don't share the same extreme values and don't want to get m moderated in some way because they're not joining the chorus 100%.

So when I see a poll where a lot of people aren't protesting, I tend to take that at face value. That lots of people feel the need to assuage whatever guilt by posting about donating money or being immuno-compromised feels like statistical noise rather than an actual reflection of their readers.

 

[Ionian]

The fact that Nepenthe didn't brag about protesting and using their capoeira on the police says quite a lot about their cowardice.

Not to mention the fact that a hell of a lot of the protestors are WHITE and she deemed every white person as racist from birth.

Hecht is also very, very quiet. Hasn't posted about animal crossing in ages. Wheres the fucking content for other sites Hecht?

I remember a story in a local paper in Ireland during recession where people called for jury duty in Offaly (economic black hole) where each person called said they couldn't be a juror as they were working full time. In the end the judge remarked that even in recession it's good to see that Offaly has full employment.

To be honest I'm okay with people making whatever excuse. I'm not a fan of shaming others when it's obvious they were in the same boat.

I legit have some respect for the 2 or so posters who admitted it was due to cowardice. Takes some guts to be truthful with yourself about your shortcomings.

But you just knew 99% of the ones constantly screeching on Reeee were no where to be seen at these protests, but did something even better like “used my platform to retweet”

Just think about how fucking offensive the whole Kanye West drama is.

A black man has the nerve, the god damn audacity, to have an opinion of his own. He went against their groupthink & made his own decisions. How could this be. How could he not follow his masters without question. They look out for him! This does not compute!

Turns out he was actually a fucking nut job all along. He wasn't capable of thinking straight & rational. His people weren't taking care of him. He was in the sunken place. He was whatever racist insult is ok on Era right now. & his music fucking sucked anyway. All was right with the world again.

But shit! Now he's doing good. He's donating a ton of money. Millions. What the fuck!

Ahhh... He was actually playing the long con all along. Yeah. That's what we'll go with. That works. Because it's just inconceivable that a black man would ever go against the whole liberal woke system. Yeah.

Jury service

What is jury service? Find out how members of juries in Ireland are selected, contacted and your employment rights.

www.citizensinformation.ie

"If you are in employment, your employer must let you attend jury service. Time spent on jury service should be treated as if the employee were actually employed. In other words, if you are in employment and are attending for jury service, you are entitled to be paid while you are away from work. If you have a contract of employment, for example, (temporary workers or contract workers) you are entitled to be paid by your employer while you are on jury service. There should also be no loss of any other employment rights while you serve on a jury. You can request a certificate from the jury office to confirm your attendance at jury service. "

Seriously. The direct and clear advocation of unnecessary violence is just embarrassing and should be enough for any corporation that wants to even pretend they are well intentioned to cut ties with the site completely. I mean some of the stuff I've been reading on there is just sickening (sentiments like, "Lynch all cops", "Rand Paul should be killed because he doesn't to broaden the definition of lynching to minor injuries", racist terms towards Kanye, "violent protests are what it means to produce reasonable change", etc).

Obviously there is a problem with America's police system that needs changing. So, let's advocate reform through the rules and constructs we have agreed to as a society, which includes peaceful protest but also voting. Instead of advocating for Joe Biden to make meaningful police reform a priority in his campaign, they are calling to Lynch every last policeman? Such careless and disgusting calls for violence makes me wonder if they are even taking the anti-racism movement seriously. It seems more like these are just a bunch of unstable people with a lot of pent up anger.

What's the problem they have with Kanye West?

I'm not really a fan of his music so don't keep up with him, but I'd of thought ree would of liked him from the famous "george bush doesn't care about black people" donation thing after hurricane katrina. If I remember rightly he also pointed out media bias in it aswell.

 

[Preacher]

I don't really understand the hate here? Between Covid-19 and the very obvious dangers of attending these protests can you really blame them for not attending?


It's would be questionable at best to attend one of these protests at this point given the violence we have seen from police and looters. I don't blame people at all for not going out to these events.

While I agree, theres nothing wrong with supporting a cause and not actively protesting but... With ResetEra, the posters there are so wild that they should be out there for all the shit they spout.

If you're going to be shouting "fuck the police" as a middle aged dude on a gaming forum, while some kids are really out there getting hurt on the streets, than your ass better be out there too.
Normally, I wouldn't care but this is why everyone thinks Resetera is filled with virtue signalers. I saw a post where someone genuinely asked "Should I give black people money as reparations"... These guys are out of touch.

So in this case, if they feel that strongly about it while spitting the most extreme opinions, they can go out and protest instead of typing "Yeah, fuck those cops. Hope they die!"
