I'm glad someone there finally said it. If you're a white dude, ERA isn't really for you. That's not an intrinsically bad thing but I wouldn't feel comfortable being at a never ending meeting conducted by the NAACP for instance. It just says to me that ERA isn't really meant for people like me.

you know what’s funny? I considered saying the exact same thing earlier in the year,I really did feel like I was not welcome there as a straight white dude, but I knew I’d get the “white fragility” and “clutch your fucking pearls “ insults. The utter hatred they have for cis white people is crazy

The problem is you an never moderate on a claim you can only take at face value. What's to stop me signing up and LARPing a black Englander? Are they going to need forearm photos next?


What they really mean is they will moderate according to their whims, as long as it sounds like something the stereotype of a minority would be liable to say - in their heads. Which is even worse, and why they have actual asian members causing a ruckus because of the trolls. That's a great copypasta they started too

"Resetera should be a safe space where mods are looked upon as gods and their words are gospels"
They have exactly the same chip on their shoulders as gaming bloggers. They think they are better than their audience.

Sometimes (rarely) they do good threads. Was looking for the feedback one and came across this and busted up laughing;

They‘re all missing the fucking point that the movie is rated TV-MA and isn’t obviously directed at an acceptable audience of 8-13 year olds.

If it was some Disney channel dancing movie for kids then whatever. That’s not what this is!

They're not missing the point. They're pushing the narrative that anyone who thinks its inappropriate and creepy are the weirdos, cause "freedom of seckshuality" and "this is normal in french culture."

The point and intent is to normalize this shit and pave the way for MAPs (who've made a nest on era) to be accepted by society. Its disgusting and intentional.

Broader than that. Era isn’t a place for anyone who doesn’t toe the left wing, socialist line. White, black, brown, male, female. If you don’t hold the right values, you’re not wanted.

Can you imagine being a straight woman who had understandable issues with trans women occupying women only spaces? What kind of abuse she’d get for voicing her opinion? The misogyny and hate that would be thrown her way just for voicing a genuine concern?

Us white dudes are fine... it’s all the people from other genders and ethnicities who don’t share the groupthink that I feel sorry for.

You are correct, sir. For example, they have banned lesbians for saying they would not want to date/have sex with MTF trans people. For all of their screeching about being inclusive, it really is a bunch of white men (I count the fashion trans posters like KetKat and Excelsiorlef in that) dominating the narrative on the forum.

She had a very tough day in the pharmacy, doing her JOB. Give her a break.

Working the till while the actual pharmacist makes up the orders is tough.

Especially when you have to serve white people.

:D

Hey, give Neppy a break. Making those payments on a 7%/7 year car loan for a Versa and putting together furry suits is eating up a lot of their paycheck.

This is the actual video I was perm'd here for by Besada for saying she was a "Dumb Chick"

Thankfully years later EL reversed the ban (it's in the get un-banned thread and my post history.)

Honestly try to last a minute, I thought they had cancelled her as well? I can't remember why.


EDIT: Oh Jesus Christ she's still at it. ( Do NOT recommend ) But can you take the challenge?

Yeah I’ve been trying to put it in words but you know that feeling where you’re the only white guy in a room and you have that weird instinct that says “I don’t belong here”. Like you look up and you’re the only white kid eating lunch at the table with all the black kids?

That’s what posting on ERA feels like. You have to ask yourself “would I say this at that lunch table?” before you post even if you’re arguing against Hotep nonsense.

At some point you just go “yeah this isn’t where I belong”.

Sexualizing breast milk: ban (although unevenly applied because several people randomly escaped the ban hammer)

Sexualizing 11 year olds in a French movie: Okay

Idk, its a difficult situation and they have a right to raise concerns, but people that say things like that, be women or men also rarely try to offer solutions, usually get in 'i don' t want those sick men dressed as women in our barthrooms' arguments wich ARE pretty transphobic :(

Like, for a real trans person i imagine it must be very difficult when their gender identity is rejected that way by others when using a bathroom,its not really their fault society enforces some roles based off the outside body wich many people don't understand

Your argument is pretty dumb, because word a having word b as a component does not necessarily mean a is a special form of b. I am sure there are many English examples as well, but since I am a German native speaker (and also national socialists is originally a German term): A "halve hahn" is not half a chicken (German: Hahn), it is bread with cheese. A kalter kaffee (literal: cold coffee) is not a coffee, but it's Cola mixed with lemonade. And even if this was the semantics behind compound words, it was a self-descriptor, not a term chosen by neutral observers. It will be easy for you to find out what happened to the parties on the left spectrum and their adherents after Hitler took over (communists, socialists and social democrats).
The Nazis weren't directly socialist, but they were certainly anti-capitalist, seeing business as another aspect of the evil Jews.

As far as I know there was no welfare state, but definitely believed that every hard working German should have a holiday and supported large families. But in classic Nazi way, only healthy Ayrian families, fuck every one else.

National Socialism wasn't socialism, it wasn't capitalism, it was a weird brand of their own racial and militaristic policies. Probably wasn't fun to live under as a poor person, nor as a rich person who wasn't wholeheartedly supporting the regime.

Sorry for the off topic post.
