“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
Also when you take into account Banshee joined in February and is seemingly very locked in on making everyone else look like hypocrites or terrible people for just simple enjoying video games and the consoles they play them on I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a troll account meant to bait people into getting banned. In fact I wouldn't surprised if it was one of you guys on here lol
But going off of the activity of their threads most people aren't taking the bait anymore. You can get giant threads about that stuff in the Etc section, but on gaming side that stuff doesn't fly as easily. Especially if it centers around a popular game or company. Most people on gaming side just wanna play their games. They don't care who made their console or what their favorite developers politics are. And this Banshee person seems to be entirely ignorant of that fact.

I thought it was a masterful troll too, but that user has gigantic mod protection, so it's likely an alt of someone important.

Honestly I think it's more pandering than protection. Because if you notice the Banshee person has repeatedly called for threads about "problematic" games be banned entirely because it gives "free press" and the staff and stately flatly that it's not going to happen. If it was a mod in disguise you would think the staff would support the ideas they are producing rather than straight up shooting them down.
I think it's a person (or a troll) that is arguing very loudly for things that are morally correct, but that nobody wants to hear on gaming side. The staff knows this, but they can't exactly shut down discussion of arguably the most anticipated game of the last few years. And they are afraid to just say "hey cut it out" for fear of the backlash they would get. So instead they are just letting them make their threads and letting them call for this and that.
Basically they are just letting them shout angrily into the void about things needing to be better without actually planning to do anything about it since most of gaming side doesn't care.
EDIT: Holy shit I just realized their location is set to "from under a bridge" in their profile. They are absolutely a troll account I think.
Well played to whoever is running that account lol

But "African-American" is how 99.9% of government, academic, medical, and business refer to black people in america. Much like "Negro", "Colored", or whatever in the past, the 'allowable' term migrates. I agree that "African-American", or any "hyphen american", is really dumb because all it does is heighten the perceived difference rather than unite countrymen. So I'm cool with "black" but I'd really need a universal consensus because tripping over words is also unacceptable. And it MUST be universal consensus.

I don't think it's a mod's alt, just a prominient member. Those don't always agree with mods decisions, and they are sometimes very loud on that.
There was already an era poster who got their post's text deleted and their account banned for trolling because they raised suspicions on Banshee being a troll. So the mods definitely know something we don't about that person.
It's just a classic case of an unhinged individual being unrecognizable from actual trolls.

So... Where is the body fat?
Is gaming the only medium where like 90% or all people never get represented? At this point, in all games there is essentially just one type of people, gym/fitness people. They might be bulky with muscles but they never have what regular people have, body fat. You never see a male main...

Why does everything have to be political on here?
I joined Resetera to get away from the drama and shit talkers on another site. Early days things were good here closer community but lately every single post is About someone’s political or ideology being forced down my throat. Can’t we have a gaming forum without all this? Real life sucks...

Shockingly the guy with the name "video games are dumb" has a stupid gaming opinion:

I am curious how any of these people would survive media in general pre-2010.

These kinds of polls you see over there are the only way people can express an opinion without a ban. So you'll see these type of results. Most posters over there have learned to keep their mouth shut on certain issues, but sorry TransEra, most people just don't give a fuck about your petty concerns.

If only Dorfdad was ready to learn the truth that the drama and shit talkers were the ones that made GAF a place you wanted to get away from were also the same people that made Resetera. Gaf is now what he wants.

EVERYTHING was ahead of the times in regards to these people’s demands.Quake 3 was ahead of the times
We had fat characters in games, strong women in movies and books, kickass female politicians, prominent gay people, even famous trans people (minus the surgery and the hormone therapy, maybe) long before current_year. Heck, I’ve seen most of those in my lifetime, and I’m not even 40 yet. If only these people had an inch of history knowledge and perspective, they’d know this. But they’re trying to cancel the past instead.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
Ripley in Aliens is still probably the most kick-ass, intelligent hero in sci-fi cinema. We've had how many movies since about 1984 from Studio Ghibli featuring strong female leads or supporting characters? Many Nintendo games, such as Metroid, have featured females.
It seems like the far left at Ree want to keep going down further and further until every curve is flattened. No one is male or female any longer. No one is straight or gay. I guess we all just become blobs or some shit.

Strange to see them defend the privileged white cis straight woman Brie Larson so much. In the Brie youtube thread, a user mentioned how he came across a Critical Drinker(brilliant channel btw) video where he "ripped into her for no reason". Another user mentions RLM making fun of her. The user who mentioned Critical Drinker of course was banned on the spot because of fragility.

Kid me loved Dame Edna, she was really funny. Only years later did I find out that she was a he, didn't matter still funny. Historically there's a whole lot of LBQT performers Larry Grayson, Kenneth Williams, Kenny Everett and Freddy Mercury as well as many others that I've really liked their work.
Yet in 2020 the loudest voices complain that the only reason they are not successful is because of their LBQT/racial status.

There's too much to screencap so I might stop for a while but just wanted to preserve some in case they start scrubbing threads again.
Edit: Also poodlestrike seems to admit they can ban you for no reason if you've been banned in the past. They can just assume you're doing something wrong ("if that makes sense" as poods would say)
