The "ACAB" thing feels very alien to me coming from a country where police is well educated, and well respected by the general population.

But saying some cops (even foreign ones) are good would probably catch a ban on ResetEra.

What makes you think this thread will remain intact either?

Regardless, way too much creepery.

Well the RE lady thread went to shit lulz.

That avy tho...

Then wtf is the point of the ignore thread feature then, bunch of pricks.

Nice tag. "Gordon Ramsay can stuff me any day". Sounds very sexual, like he could fuck her (or him) any day. Not sexist?

Only once did I try to have a discussion about this over there, because where I'm from the police is very well respected too. In fact, saying cops are bastards would probably warrant you a punch in the face. Unfortunately it seemed that because the USA police force has racism issues, literally every police officer in the entire world is a racist bastard. In fact, at this point it's a-okay to say someone's relative is dogshit when they're a cop.

You're literally called out when you feel that not every cop in the world is a racist asshole.

What kind of bubble do you live in when you think every cop is a bastard anyway? Surely only people who never had to call upon the cops for help live inside this dream world where the cops are out to get you.

 

[Buggy Loop]

ACAB rhetoric had even poisoned the threads and discussions about Astral Chain over there. Some posters were trying to shame peoples excited for an anime apocalypse cop because ACAB..

Hahaha, that last sentence sounds like from a Nazi concentration camp.

"Will be moderated executed accordingly."



Hahaha already banned in that thread. Will probably see more bans.

is jason schriek really another member if he has an inactive account and posted on twitter "what the fuck is wrong with these people"?

Anyone who seriously says ACAB is a fucking idiot not worth any time. I once saw Jason Schreier on Twitter say “because ACAB” as a response to something. The guy seems like he has a brain but that is the most brain dead of responses.

 

[DapperSloth]

Dirtyshrubb is male and speaks for women apparently, more news at 11.

RyanG speaking truths, will be banned soon, more news at 11.

EDIT 1:
What the fuck is this ban? I swear to satan...

EDIT 2:
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!? She is not sexualized, jesus christ. What, you want her to have small boobs because you are afraid of women? She has big tits cause she is a big fucking woman, and she is dressed classically. It is a very nice design. They were dropped on their heads on ResetERA? You want women in burqa so you can be satisfied?

"Era we need to talk about how all these loli anime PFPs are of great offense to victims of child sexual abuse."

! User banned (permanent): Generalizing posters, meta discussion.

Like I get they don't want porn being posted or blatant sexist posts but does every thread have to be super serious? If someone doesn't like a thread, then they can ignore it.

But for many of era's most unhappy users, that's not enough. Even if they only saw a thread for 2 seconds before blocking it, that was a great injsutice and punishment MUST be dealt.

[Goro Majima]

It will feel like a milestone if/when this thread passes onto the Undying Lands. Like Frodo on the ship, sailing out of the harbor. Some of us teary-eyed on the shore to see it off one last time.

I think a case can be made that this thread has run its course considering we’re not great at keeping it civil and not making it personal.

But for me personally it might also be that after posting in this thread for months and then stepping mostly away, my annoyance with Era has been reduced to apathy. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do and nobody can change that.

Plus I don’t think anyone can question that some people might get a bit too angry with Era. So with the new kinder and more level headed political forum, does this thread stick out even more?

I’m not really advocating one way or another but we’ve all read between the lines and have a general idea what will happen.

 

[IntentionalPun]

This is the true story of 149,922 strangers picked to live on a forum and have their posts read, to find out what happens when people stop keeping it civil and start making it personal.

[Ionian]

What am I missing here?

For the most part the thread is light banter about laughing at dumb posts?

If EL closes it, well his forum etc. but Era is rapidly declining but still loads of extremely funny posts along the way, with surely more to come.

Nobody is forcing anyone to read the thread. (don't know how anyone takes this thread seriously)

 

[haxan7]

Why do they have a thread comparing an episode of the office to a movie where people are brutally raped and murdered and forced to eat shit, etc.

What the honest fuck is wrong with those people.

People say Salo is hard to watch. Nah. Scott's Totts is so much worse.

Captain Midnight's video popped up in my feed and I can't even finish watching the video. I remember this episode. I have never felt so awkward and just more awkward watching a movie or tv show. What about you guys?

I don’t know, I get a good laugh everyday checking this thread and seeing what lunacy reset is up to. Feels good to crack some jokes on their behalf.

The vast majority of posts is simply posting theirs and laughing about it. (mostly abusive rantings against users)

There is an 'ignore thread' function that could be used.

Anyone who steps over the mark does get slapped down from what I have seen.

Gonna be talked about anyway, best kept in one place IMHO. Otherwise will bleed into other threads and people may be banned. (A guess)

 

[Chittagong]

I do think this thread serves an important function in highlighting to Reee’ers that not everyone considers the lunacy going on there normal, and in fact, this thread helps fighting it becoming the new normal.

No media will challenge the fact that saying you think it’s ok to discuss a giant vampire woman’s tits is somehow a bannable sin. Or that enjoying a Harry Potter game requires you to be acutely aware of debates around child HRT.

People may come think that it is the new normal, unless they see some reasonably normal people elsewhere pointing out it’s not.

This thread is a service to the society.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

I need a sanity check when I even look at one thread there.

Why is it always anime avatars? Lol

 

[EviLore]

The reason the "stay civil" and "don't get personal" are front and center in the thread title is to steer people away from the uncomfortable aspects that can come out in a thread like this. Of course when you see abuse of power on display over there it's natural to react harshly. And when you see the serious dysfunction on display it's natural to comment on it. I'm just not fond of when the environment leads to resentment boiling over toward identity groups, like with one of our recently banned users increasingly hating trans people in general, or following users' personal lives with ongoing screenshots because they're a little too open with their lives in an illusory safe space open to the public.

Highlighting the lunacy of their moderation actions is reasonable. And when refugees stop over, this thread is a good way to decompress from all the groupthink pressure a lot of people are under there 24/7. We've picked up some cool people that way. The rest of it we can do without. Nuking this thread is under consideration for those reasons.

I'm just happy that the Alanah Pearce thread is gone. That thread represented the worst of GAF, imho.

Wow, will be a shame. Didn't know someone was doing that or it was a factor.

Will miss the thread when gone, could you archive it maybe? (minus those posts, I never saw them or participated in them)

Strictly to only re-visit the funny parts.

 

[EviLore]

I'm just happy that the Alanah Pearce thread is gone. That thread represented the worst of GAF, imho.

Yeah. I tried to jump in and steer the discussion away from hating on her, deescalate, but there were some pretty overboard comments from people. We'll be more proactive in handling threads like that going forward.

 

[elektrokats]

Eh this thread was the whole reason I came back here in the first place. Sacrificing users and discussions for the sake of what you percieve as the "greater good" is kind of what got you into this situation in the first place imo. Not sure if I support valuing content over discussion.

Oh well, still lots of other good forums to contribute too though. If this thread goes, so do I unfortunately. There is a line and I think you're crossing it slightly for a lot of folks here.

 

[Roger Rabbit]

I like this thread very much. Hope EviLore decides just to mod it more closely, and not nuke it.

Is Spider-Man: Miles Morales still gonna work with NYPD cops?

Considering recent events with the murder of George Floyd and just decades of police brutality and racism with NYPD, I wonder if they'll have Miles work with the police like Peter did in the base PS4 game. It's not clear if Miles Morales is entirely an expansion so new story, or he's a new skin...

www.resetera.com

A Black Batman whose parents were murdered by nazi cops makes so much sense. It needs to happen. Especially now post-George-Floyd.

Batman's identity is that of a vigilante who is fueled by his parents' murder. Until now, it's always (or mostly always?) been a white guy who was angry at criminals because his parents were killed by petty criminals. The spin on that tale whereby Bruce Wayne is a Black man whose parents were...

343i removes police sirens nameplate from ODST flight - Some fans with expected views whine and threaten to boycott

So a user by the name of Moses_FPS brought up an issue regarding one of the nameplates in the current flight for ODST firefight and H3 hit registration fixes and one of them are police sirens. Of course in the ODST campaign there is not only police vehicles stranded throughout the game but also...

In short, yes, everything including cops should turn into an anti-cop thing, regardless of where it's from, if it's fictional or not, if it's set in the USA or not, if it's in the future or present, and so on.

 

[TVexperto]

This thread is the reason I came back. Its just too hilarious to see the comments on eras madness banning

 

[Halo is Back]

this ban is just so fucking hilarious, they aren’t “deciding what should be offensive to others” they are just literally stating that they asked their wife who is Japanese and she didn’t see a problem with it. THAT IS IT.

Era is fucking crazy town, you cannot post an opinion at all, I’m just flabbergasted at the bans that go on there, they really are fucking stupid.

"doesn't give you the license to decide what should be offensive for others"

Excuse me, hold my beer while I judge what people should be offended by

Im gonna be honest with you guys though. Staying in this thread for extended periods of time is probably not good for your mental health. Some users get too personal and angry. Era is crazy don't let it consume you.

Just ignore the thread, job done.

There's lots of people who enjoy laughing in it.

Same. To someone browsing the site for the first time it gave a very bad impression (like, incel red pill bad), even though the amount of people who hold such opinions don't feel numerous here. I don't ever report people (99.9% sure I've never reported anyone), but I considered reporting that thread.

Not even Era's mods are that stupid.

They have a very large pool of idiots to draw from...they have made some absolutely fantastic choice for moderation and admins...Stalin would be proud

Don't nuke this one, please. This space is needed, catches a theme most people know and feel about, catches a lot of potential derailing of other threads too.

Nice tag. "Gordon Ramsay can stuff me any day". Sounds very sexual, like he could fuck her (or him) any day. Not sexist?
