^ One of the biggest woke try-hards on there, lol.

That same dude lobbied successfully to get me banned for their own bad-faith interpretation of my post just this morning. I even went back and clarified what I meant by my post and offered an apology for not being clear, and they banned me anyway.

There's obvious favoritism going on. I never thought I'd be back on GAF after all these years but Resetera has made it pretty clear they don't want me there. I'm politically among the most left-leaning people I know, and I've been an active proponent of women's rights, trans-rights, gay rights, fairness for minority and oppressed groups, etc. I'm not one of those people who thinks cancel culture is a real problem, and I have no problem changing my language and behavior when it is pointed out to me that I could be making somebody uncomfortable.

But honest to god, the mental acrobatics required to read some of my posts and then to launch accusations of transphobia and sexism at me, that takes an extremely sinister and/or depressed mind. It really does feel like the site is being moderated by people who fundamentally don't understand their own biases, and they seem to want to find bad motives so badly they constantly commit Type 1 errors and pat themselves on the back for it.

I feel really sad for the site tbh. It has such potential for a progressive and civil forum but it's totally ruined by the bullying committed by the mods. As users we are expected to just take it and say nothing for fear of the perma-ban. A bunch of clowns riding their high horses around a kindergarten. Pathetic.

I don't know if I'd go as far as calling The Quartering a scumbag, but he definitely is a grifter. He over-exaggerates to generate buzz, and he openly admits it. I also think he overreacts to things just because they come from someone on the left, and aren't always warranted criticism. Not everyone on the left is crazy. Many aren't. But people call him racist, sexist, etc and I've never seen that from him. He's basically a shock jock.

TheQuartering is just an anti-parody to the parody. I cant see anyone really subscribing to him, but every now and then he makes a video that is just good at highlighting a specific issue or pushing back against the unflushable turd types. And it gets shared and some traction as a result.

Basically he just reads stupid takes on a video. Pretty much what this thread, era takes and other places do to point out stupidity and hypocrisy.

No description of anything.

Imagine if they did what we all do. And just ignored assholes.
Ignoring? That’s privilege!

I love how they’re always like “it’s 201x and it’s still like this!” Been saying that since 2016 at the least. Like yeah, human nature can change in a few years on a global scale. All it takes is a few Twitter campaigns and a change of POTUS.

That post only gets the silver medal in the "entitled Era member starts a new job" award. The guy who waited twiddling his thumbs for 2hrs then quit will be hard to be topped.

Hold your horses there son. We don't know what the actual issues are yet. If they are spectacularly trivial then he maybe has a shot
 
But apparantly, "that shouldn't be the focus", according to one poster.

I did enjoy that.

"Let us not concern ourselves with the details. It is enough that racism and personal questions took place. We must condemn. Anyone asking questions is a racism apologist. We see you. You are not slick."

I also liked the people telling the guy that makes small talk with interviewees about their family and their birthday and such that he is being 'horrible' and 'literally illegal'.

Validation from Ree does not translate at all in the real world. Even IF the problems he experienced were true and of the worst kind, he's the new guy and nobody will back him up. He'll just go back to work the next day even more self-righteous after reading the replies and help himself out the door even faster.

Life lesson: If you get accused of doing/saying something at work that could get you in trouble deny deny deny with a poker face. It even works on supervisors and middle managers when it's a he said she said situation with no witnesses where they have to follow a due process.

I have no idea how some of them cope out on the real world. No wonder that place is a dumpster fire.

I guess some of them don't and this is perhaps a perfect example. All trained up to spot the thinnest possible microaggressions from the perspective of Planet Woke, this kids turns up at new job and ends up making two complaints in his first two days because he is parsing everything he hears through his resetera filter. Already HR are already getting shitty with him and his position looks shaky.

In fairness, we don't know what was said. Maybe someone called a colleague an n-word behind his back and asked OP what porn he liked to wank to. That would be fair grounds for a complaint. I wouldn't for the second thing but it is inappropriate. But I think we are all guessing right now it's going to be some fringe bullshit that happens everyday.

I think taking the OP at face-value would be questionable, considering his lack of details etc. I'd say he's most likely just a troll that is giggling away at the responses he's getting.

Place is riddled with them after all. Then again if they weren't a troll I wouldn't be surprised either considering it's Era.

"I started a new job, nobody talks to me or sits with me at lunch. Why are they such assholes?"
It's just bizarre. There are people in that thread pointing out that it is "literally illegal" to ask personal questions.

What in the world? What life do you live when your first thought in regards to personal questions from new colleagues is "THAT'S ILLEGAL". What the hell are you even doing in a workplace if you cannot tolerate people asking "personal questions".

This is an S-tier troll thread with some excellent troll replies. There's just no way this is real.

Yeah unless they’re willing to divulge how it happen (we don’t need the racist remark) it sounds like typical era attention seeking thread.

the op can’t even say "person A came up to me and said something about my skin". There literally no details. I think one person asked what actually happened and was immediately told to stfu.

“Thats racist!!!”
“Why?”
“Its racist of you to ask me to explain myself, Check your privelidge”

If an incident of casual racism actually did take place, why don’t they explain exactly what was said and done? And if something bad did happen then i will totally be more understanding of where that user is coming from

i hate that we live in a fucking world where asking questions is considered racist. How can we possibly come to better understand and empathize with eachother if its offensive to ask why something is offensive. How could we possibly learn from mistakes if its offensive to try and find out why what we did was offensive? How do we get rid of casual racism if its taboo to ask what is considered casual racism?

The OP updated what racist thing was said and it def seemed like actual racism and not casual racism. Also..the OP is lying...Just to on the nose. Like who would just say that to some new hire they don’t know. Nice troll though.
