I know this was a few pages ago, but holy shit is it funny to see Era go after the tall vampire/witch lady in RE8. Those guys have never seen a woman, let alone attractive woman, in their lives and so they get into a frenzy when the Internet starts to get remotely horny over a legitimately sexy character design. Sexualization is by no means degradation yet these weirdos who are constantly angsty about gender cannot handle the completely normal human emotion of sexual attraction. It's a remarkably sex negative forum, which ironically contradicts what actual progressives and leftists stand for (Isn't the LGBT community extremely open about sex in the first place? So many LGBT people are outspoken about porn and whatnot, which would go against the strangely puritanical approach Era, an alleged safe haven for that demographic.). I'm glad Capcom is embracing the internet's reaction instead of kowtowing to these freaks. Another funny thing about Era's reaction is how there are many prominent female personalities who are promoting the sexualization of that character, too and also think she's hot. Suzi Hunter (The Sphere Hunter) loves the tall lady and shares sexualized imagery of the character. Is she degrading herself, too?

It's this reactionary culture that "feminist" figures like Sarkeesian cultivated in the gaming community that confuses the shit out of me. I'm happy it's obviously in the small minority, but man is that group irrational about sex. Sex is fucking normal! Go outside! Stop self-flagellating for finding women hot! They're supposed to be hot! Just accept that sexualized characters isn't a bad thing and stop wearing your goddamn chastity belt. It's clear many of them have never fucked in their lives as well and are actively afraid of sex, too. But that's a discussion for another day. It's just remarkable to see such regressive ideas in a forum that brandishes itself with wokeness and "inclusiveness". No wonder these guys feel miserable with themselves. They don't understand how life works!

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.
Much like the politics board, this thread serves as an outlet to keep the reset complaining contained. While I personally feel like having it around is like an umeeded ball and chain of emotional baggage, nuking it would probably cause those emotions to spill over in other threads. Keeping it around has slightly more utility than not having it. I do agree that things can get overly negative in here, which is not healthy, and can lead to very personal attacks, and borderline doxing. Those overly negative aspects can be more strictly moderated while keeping the utility of this thread intact, IMO. Sometimes people need to be reminded that mocking the insufferable negative nancies over there is moot if one is just going to be a slightly less insufferable negative nancy over here.

Personally I'd prefer this thread focus on the things that make GAF awesome moreso than the things that make other places on the internet not so awesome, but complaining is an inevitable aspect of human nature.
 
Willy Wonka is a racist now because the Oompa Lumpas were slaves or something.

Doing a prequel to the original books.

You got further than I did. I clicked on it hoping that it was a joke thread and of course it wasn't. I skimmed the first post, saw the end where the OP literally called for him (a fictional character) to be cancelled and stopped. Sometimes I wish I hadn't nuked my account because I want to reply to these idiots but it's probably better I don't have that option.

Slaves? I thought they came from a terrible land hunted by predators and he rescued them and gave them jobs? Maybe I'm misremembering that. Maybe there's a deleted scene where he whips them for dropping some candy?

Haven't read them since childhood, but don't remember the slave part at all.

However, according to Era now they're slaves as they had dark skin.

This is now cannon!
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Wait a fuck. How can that thread be boys club rhetoric when a penis does not necessarily make you a boy?

Trying to wrap your head around ERA's logic is like dividing by zero.

They’re the same forum that said penises are not exclusively for men. Can’t find that post but there’s a screenshot around here.

Abit late to the party here, but I'm all for keeping the thread. Sure there's been times when Evilore has had to step in and tell people to simmer down regarding Taysan, but it's been few and far between and bans are handed out fast when someone really crosses the line.

Also, someone explain to me. Why does everyone seem to love giant vampire lady? I don't get it. At all.

I actually read this again recently to my kids. Yeah, the Oompa Loompa's lives sucked. They jumped at the chance to live and work at Wonka's factory. For them it was basically like winning the lottery.

If Era wants to talk about Wonka being 'problematic', there's some pretty sketchy stuff in the Great Glass Elevator with the Chinese leader, going into 'me so solly' territory. Product of its time though.

Real talk is that they adored her because she has weird grey skin, large frame, very tall, has a hair style that looks like an undercut with the hat on and has a bit of a manly frame so they adopted her as their own weird non cute female, that was different from all the other 'females' out there. They thought all these things would put people off liking her and so she would be a protected outlier that they could argue was attractive and a good break from traditional waifu design.
Then when they realised no one was arsed and loads of people were just blown away by the rack on her (cos she's a ......um......real woman) and started internet fantasising about her, they became bitter and then looked for problematic stuff with her. And the thread (and mantra) changed course.

As for Wonka, yeah you can just pull the film transcript (not even the book) for the pertinent details
  • Loompaland is a terrible place because of the snozzwangers and whangdoodles, who were terrible beasts that terrorized the Oompa Loompas and they had nothing to eat.
  • All the Oompa-Loompas wanted to eat was the cacao bean, which, Wonka explains, is what chocolate is made of.
  • So Wonka brokered a deal with them: if they would come back and work for him, they could have all the chocolate they wanted.

This one's just sad. It's a tough time for everyone and people are taking joy in the little things they can control. I'd be completely lost if my cats went right now. Let's not be dicks about it.

I'm not down to knocking someone over getting upset over losing a pet that meant so much to him no matter what it is.

That is just being a asshole for no reason.

It's a fucking fish. A pet is something you interact with and something that has affection for you.

Fish aren't pets. They are live decor.

Im gonna try to explain, without going for the obvious she is hot! angle. 🤭

Miranda has old 1900 dress, big hat, gothic fashion, has a lot of 'presence when we first see her she looks awesome when obviously has the protagonist cornered, she is also some kind of vampire witch, and everybody loves vampires 🧛‍♀️
Her smile go her a lot of fans overall looks like a fun character

Also apparently she is very tall? i guess she could throw away the male protagonists or something and thats what turns gamers on 🤷‍♂️

Never thought I'd see one in the wild.

For reference. We're English, so not sure about the antifa thing.
I got few messages from friends when Tinder opened up for the world, during first quarantine and it was sight to behold.

The word queer has been totally ruined, nowadays it just means it's someone like that. I always swipe profiles with queer in them to the left.

Someone like that will cheat on you and tell you you're the asshole for pushing monogamy on them.
