Support NeoGAF

I really wonder what happened behind the scenes there. No doubt transera was involved. I guess that's a lesson to any lgbt who think some activism is going a bit too far and is too absurd. If you just go along with it and think you'll be ok since you're in the same community, you're next to the guillotine.

So pretty much the Reign of Terror. Guess they've never heard of Robespierre but they'll probably tell you how educated they are.

Era is basically 2017 GAF now except without the allegations

GAF never came close to the dystopian hell hole Era is.

 

[Barry Burton]

GAF, even in 2016-17, was never near as bad as ResetEra has been over the last year or two.

 

[EviLore]

In what ways is it different? Also apologies for bringing up a touchy subject.

Ban volume was far lower than it is on Reset, and the majority of the moderation abuse was the work of a handful of rogue mods acting against policy and taking measures to avoid detection and pushback from me. When the abuse was uncovered, e.g. with bish, it was dealt with, but by that point we had lost a ton of our old regulars and moderate voices and most of the mods were scared to even participate in the forum anymore because of how hostile the environment had become. Things definitely had tilted in a social justice direction overall post-gamergate, but nowhere near to the extent that the biggest video game of the year couldn't even be discussed. On the gaming forum mostly the Anita Sarkeesian threads were bloodbaths.

The difference is that what you see on Reset isn't rogue moderation or a failure at the top to implement consistent and fair policy throughout the team, as it was here. What you see from Reset is their policy working as intended. There's no one to push back against it and you're never going to get anything else from them other than more and more extreme outcomes.

 

[nush]

I assume my account there is banned. After catching a suspension I don't remember when, I clicked logout and walked away.

 

[TVexperto]

funny how transEra doesnt even care that their trans rep is not an admin anymore. guess they’re too busy playing cyberpunk.

also remember when resetera promised to be transparent lol

You need a constitution, is it possible whatever happened before repeat itself?

I wonder what the average age demographic is between here and there.

If this is a purely younger generation issue, wtf is happening in schools and universities. Just imagine if they get political power.............oh wait.

 

[EviLore]

We have a transparent ban page now, an open dialogue between the community and administration where we can discuss moderation outcomes, and the admin tools and logging actually work on XF so I can keep tabs on things (rather than it being more or less an honor system...). History won't repeat.

Reality is slowly hitting them in the face:

I almost feel sorry for these people:

Ups, one more banned in that thread.

 

[mr.dilya]

so only negative cyberpunk threads are allowed? im absolutly certain the sales thread would have stayed open if the game bombed

Yeah which is why the stand they are taking on the game is phony....from the wishy washy position on allowing discussion of the game, to it's biggest detractors actively playing the game and commenting on it.....it's all complete bullshit. Think about it, there are Jews, a group who has experienced real oppression under real nazis who would NEVER drive or even sit in a German car...even if it were given to them for free, regardless of how well it drives or performs. Those losers only pretend they are oppressed and can't even control themselves enough to not play a video game that is supposedly so offensive and dangerous to their lives. Maybe because deep down inside they know it isn't.

Don’t forget the biggest reason tho. That type of tomfoolery is a lot of work.

And none of us want to work that hard

HAHAHAHA I just found out I was banned from this post, lol.

OHHH and its permanent! Glad honestly, I cant even congratulate my friends and post that I'm proud of them. Fuck Era, they are worst than the people they claim to hate.

Yeah crazy right? Whats worse is just a few post down I even said I have several college friends I graduated with who are working there. I was then told my friends are racist. That place is seriously sick in the head.

 

[Papa]

CaptainConlock is that a commie hat

 

[Shmunter]

CDPRs handling about minorities in Cyberpunk 2077 is a joke

I posted this in the other thread again, but especially regarding Asian ones the game utterly fails. Almost every Asian speaks with an accent. The japanese with the typical Japanese accent like Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid, the other East Asians with the more "I not know..."one. For this NPC...

Sheltered individuals that have never been to a Chinese restaurant or a Chinatown. What is the end goal here, everyone talking and walking American?

The art of expression or cultural variety is incompatible with woke retardation.

[captainraincoat]

Wait, she isn't an Admin anymore?

i think it was a hissy fit ...dont think we have seen the last of it though judging by the discord
they are just copying and pasting the report post links of anything thats not anti cyberpunk

its gonna get worse..much...grab yer popcorn

 

[Rbk_3]

You have been banned for the following reason: User banned (duration pending admin review): Doxxing. Your ban will be lifted on Dec 13, 2020 at 1:00 AM.


Posted this thread there also and got banned right away with out any sort of warning which is kind of ironic because that is typically their thing. I think that's officially it for me over there.

Proof that an Assistant Store Manager from the Waterloo, ON Canada Computer location has scalped 5 RTX 3080's and a 5950x on eBay.

Here is a Tweet I came across and I did some more digging. Here is the said eBay account and past sales history. Since this person has tweeted to them they have changed their eBay name to 520flowerblade but you can still see the previous names in the photos with the graphic cards...

lol good. Fuck that shit hole



Oops! We ran into some problems.

I bet the real reason you were banned is because they know you post here.

*shrugs* I've never made it a secret, I literally kept the same name and aviatar. I've always said I post at both places and try to be a good centralist. Sadly they only accept extremist views anymore. You are either 100% with them, or you are a raciest. And I'd never be 100% with them, I think their views are terribly short sited and will lead to ruin and destruction. I think Gaf has many of the same problems (I mean just look at some of those Trump lawsuit thread 0_o) but at least Gaf accepts open opinions and differing views.

 

[Slurpy2k20]

The ban is even worse, with the context that you actually personally know the people you are congratulating.

The hypocrisy of these filth is so apparent in these cirumstances. All these shrieks of OH MY GOD THE POOR DEVS SOMEBODY SAVE THEM!! when they want to signal virtue about crunch, but then just congratulating these devs on finally launching an 8 yr project, is fucking bannable.

There are no words for this fuckery.

 

[nush]

The major difference is that politics is quarantined off into it's own sub forum so it does not spread across the whole forum and you can hide that sub and be blissfully aware of its existence.

Just how the whole of ree is a containment chamber for the Internets worst virtue signalers and crazies.

ZeoVGM's greatest achievement in life is being the fucking CDPR thread police on resetera. Unpaid, and with no mod position, but hey, gives him meaning. Who the fuck is "we"?

we have another racist concern troller here.

how good is your whataboutism?

I can't stand the prick, but he's right to feel like he speaks for the whole forum with how he's been able to take on that role with no pushback.

I mean, if I were legitimately trying to foster a positive online community, he'd be one of the first users I would ban. But ResetEra admin/mods almost certainly think he's doing a great service.

 

[HollowKnight]

Fuck that guy, I got a warning for saying i had him on ignore, then a 1day ban, for complaining about the warning. That was enough for me.

 

[InDaGulag]

Era's favorite "gotcha".

This comic does not apply to Cyberpunk 2077. No one needs to play Cyberpunk or any game for that matter. Video games are not essentials. They are luxuries.

People found enjoyment in other things long before video games were around and if the entire industry was to vanish, they'd continue to do so.

What does this comic even mean?

The comic is mocking idiots who think they're so smart by attacking people who want to see changes in society for participating in society. Usually by making use of systems or products they want to change or destroy.

Like for example, I'm sure everyone here is against child labour, but everyone here also uses products that are the product of child labour. This does not make child labour morally okay or everyone here pro-child labour. We should still combat it, but because of how the world economic system is structured, many essential items like clothing, food, and phones are tainted by child labour. Now applying the logic to justify playing a video game is a tad daft as video games aren't essential.

If they were honest they'd admit they value playing the latest AAA game over potential concerns of supporting transphobia. But because of how hard they pushed their campaign they have to come up with silly explanations such as they were gifted the game, they're using their friend's account, and Kyuuji's "for research purposes." The latter being as believable as your average right-wing Christian/Muslim politician caught on a gay dating website claiming they were undercover preaching. It's not like thousands of hours of streams wouldn't be uploaded onto the internet for her to watch. Or the countless articles touching the issue of trans-representation in the game.

While I'm on the subject of her, some of you folks could be the better people and not do stupid childish shit like misgendering her. It'd doesn't help your anti-Era argument. It only hurts it.

Honestly he was one of the biggest assholes, when I was on Era.

He was always so smug and ready to rip into anyone for the slightest mistake.

And I'm saying this as someone who probably agrees with him on 80%-90% of issues.

 

[CaptainConlock]

CaptainConlock is that a commie hat

It's a pic of a guy from a leftist podcast called Chapo Trap House I used to listen to/follow on Twitter. I just use it because I find him funny. That reminds me, I should listen to an episode. It's been awhile.

I'm sure I've seen bans or at the very least warns handed out for backseat moderating. Probably doesn't apply when it's the "right" kind of backseat moderating.

I'm more aligned with Marxism/socialism myself. I don't disagree with communists though, I just view socialism as a more practical and feasible alternative to capitalism. If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to DM so we can chat about this in private and not fill the thread with political talk.

Next step, in next months NDP thread, the word Cyberpunk will be redacted in the lists and a sticky mentioning not to mention the game and also that it's banned for propaganda.

Just wait and watch.

Are there any casual users over there, who have no idea whats happening? They just want to post about video games?

Many. They are just there for activity and breaking news.
