I actually wouldnt be shocked Microsoft has a vested interest in restera as the "The official place to astroturf" gamespass and thats why all critical discussion about xbox is banned or you can get a warning for even the most tame of console wars. I mean the attention xbox gets there, along with the positive comments, compared to say here is night and day. What im saying is i wouldn't be surprised if MS was bribing certain mods to protect the xbox brand there.

 

[DragoonKain]

Lol, please don't mention the police here, it's triggering.

I often think about the police force in the US. Is it really as fucked as some of these lunatics suggest?

Not even remotely close. Policing in the US is fine. It’s a false narrative created by the victim patrol.

Most people who claim to “leave their homes terrified of the cops” actually don’t and they just say that so people can feel sorry for them and give them what they want, which is power.

And the ones who do need psychological help.

 

[DarkParadise]

Its funny that they just discovered how the admins/mods abuse their power on Era. They were fine with it, when people got banned for saying "lets just discuss the game, stop baiting other people and derailing the thread". But now that the staff got enough of their shit as well, they are like "how dare you ban me after i told you to fck off, jesus those admins/mods are pretty bad and like to play police".

Nah I see way too damn many people that keep bringing up "but it's not sustianable!! but what about ownership!! but what if prices go up!!" over and over and over again and just can't understand the shocking idea that people would want to play a game for a much cheaper price

 

[Goro Majima]

The mods dropping perms for people comparing them to the police is the most fragile thing I've ever seen

And I read this thread regularly!

Because when you really want to play a game you pay full price to support the devs and even change your timezone to New Zealand's. Or in Era's case, pretend that someone else bought the game for you.

 

[Rillania]

It's a support group where they incite the worst in each other. They refuse external opinions or advice and want a safe space for their - let's be real - seriously damaged world views. I mean I've seen so many posts from people saying that era is their only social community including irl. These people need help and a change to their lives but will never face reality.

Not sure if this has been mentioned prior, but they've had a crazy high amount of suicide threads crop up in off-topic over the years. The amount of them spiked so high end of last year / beginning of this year that someone even started one about it and the mental health of the place. Thread went as well as you might expect.

Expecting everything to calm down over the next few days... then a mod is going to "accidentally" unpin their slanderous manifesto from the front page and all hell will break loose BY GAWD!

Oh yeah, for sure, he hit the nail on the head in that post. These issues have been long simmering over at Era, and I'm wondering if now is when it's going to all start boiling over or they're just going to continue going from one "crisis" to the next.

Hey, that's me!!! Lol

I used to think I was about as far from a bigot as you could get, but hey, Era says so, so it must be true!

Ayeee! lol

Your post was completely on point with how things have been going over there.

 

[Dunki]

I don't fucking get it. I didn't think half of the things on Era even needed to be done if the focus was just on the games, but it's not about games any more, it's about strangers giving a bunch of really damaged people free therapy.

This is not therapy this is letting your disabled and mentally ill child run around freely witout any rules or consequences because of your disability or mental illness.

Ableism & Era

While I am a new member, all things considered, it is already clear to me that there is an issue with albeism on this forum, it mainly manifests itself with both members and staff being dismissive towards those with physical or neurological disabilities. Gaming side is particularly bad at this...

Yeah, why can't other minorities get a piece of the TransERA pie?

Geoff came back here, haven't seen him post in a while though.

 

[Buggy Loop]

"Era is not a safe space" one commenter noted.

or the use of the phrase "reeee" which I have seen on gaming, this phrase is derived from mocking people on the spectrum who are overwhelmed, when someone uses it, they are mocking autistic people whether they no it or not.

Holy shit TIL what Reee is

 

[CaptainConlock]

Anything the staff does will not be enough unless they absolve all "trans" users of their sins, for they are the one who are oppressed and delegitimized.

If you're going to dissect insults, you're going to find out that they aren't very nice.

Sounds like Geoff read the Freddie de Boer Planet of Cops essay:

The woke world is a world of snitches, informants, rats. Go to any space concerned with social justice and what will you find? Endless surveillance. Everybody is to be judged. Everyone is under suspicion. Everything you say is to be scoured, picked over, analyzed for any possible offense. Everyone’s a detective in the Division of Problematics, and they walk the beat 24/7. You search and search for someone Bad doing Bad Things, finding ways to indict writers and artists and ordinary people for something, anything. That movie that got popular? Give me a few hours and 800 words. I’ll get you your indictments. That’s what liberalism is, now — the search for baddies doing bad things, like little offense archaeologists, digging deeper and deeper to find out who’s Good and who’s Bad. I wonder why people run away from establishment progressivism in droves.​

Wow, Hobbes permabanned and Transistor promoted to Administrator.

Bonus points if it's your "friend's non-binary wife" who bought it for you.

Yall mad but havent refuted my main point, which is it seems to me, that MS has certain staff on resetera to protect the Xbox brand from criticism and to play up games pass as the next big thing.

Whos going to manage the incidents without Hobbes?

 

[cormack12]

Reeee originally came from the ree frog in water meme as they scream. Cant find the original but this is the gist



Then itngot conflated with everyone being called autistic on 4ch and being told they were reeeeing. So its kinda the white ok sign again although it has actually been adopted I guess

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS. At this point, it'd be easier for them to provide us a whitelist of what words we can say, rather than the constant policing to dictate what we can't say. Oh wait, the term "whitelist" is HORRIBLY problematic - that's a perm right there, in fact!

or maybe its just a great service. This is coming from someone that isn't permanently subscribed to it or plans to own MS hardware.

Take off those fanboy goggles; not everything is a conspiracy against your plastic box of choice.

 

[who_me]

Seems like its been very popular place to dunk on cyberpunk 2077. When they want a company to fail, they really want it to fail. Such an idiotic thing to do when all of those developers hard work are just thrown out the window. Heard no qualms about The Witcher 3 came but due to one comment the game is entirely different. Also all of those videos showed by CDPR

They complain about the performance but at the same time buy Age of Calamity and excuse that performance (20-25 and sub hd).

It is a goddamn hive mind in that place. Say something good about the company and then meant with the transphobic argument right after. We get it already

I thought this was era for a minute. You sound as delusional as those Sony fanboys over there. Criticize Spider-Man or God of War's repetitive gameplay, the mob get sent after you

 

[Peroroncino]

Haha, hobbes should've just stuck to writing about cyberpunk, it's clear he liked the attention when he was the only one with a copy on era without an embargo.

This whole drama is delicious. Have some popcorn GAF, let's enjoy it some more.

Can't find it but the "Hobbes go to jail post" earlier in this thread I think is perfect for his ban lol.

 

[cormack12]

I find it amazing that when people shit on brie larson for captain marvel, its all incels and gamergate (again). Yet they can do the same and worse on gina carrano. They're only different when they're the same. Hypocrisy of the highest level. They were the real gators all along.
