First major girlfriend I had, had a plan or some shit about ovulation, Mother was into Homeopathy. Even into star-signs and how they predict life. Hippy stuff.

The amount of pregnancy tests she took in the local shopping center was something else. We were only teens.

Then it would roll around and she's say it was safe and next day worry again.

Pretty loopy but I was young. Very stressful though.

do the NeoGAF.com moderators have this kind of dedication? I demand they stay up for 48 hours straight to prove they have more

I know nothing about the sleep cycle of foxes, but judging from name and avatar there I smell a furry fully identifying as a fox and who knows... maybe it’s normal for foxes?

Got my account approved to post at era today.

Crazy how it seems like people are looking for a fight or to shut threads down.... No topic is safe no matter how niche.

Definitely. I was only there for a couple of months until the inevitable ban, but it's by far the most toxic community I have ever seen.

(Also the first time I've been banned from a forum in my 20 years of internet)

It's she, but yes she is a huge asshole. She appears to dislike almost every other Era member. I'm not sure why she still visits the site if she hates most of the userbase.

It's a power trip. Outside of Era, she's a night shift stocker for a grocery store that is ostracized by her co-workers and regularly cries in the aisles. But on Era, she can mash the report button to get rid of any differing opinions and be queen of her pathetic little world - which includes being one of the biggest supporters of WWE on Era, even though Vince McMahon is the epitome of everything the woke crowd is against.

Math fail when it's right in the topic title.

Ageism, it's OK when the guy is the older one. Gender swap it and they'll be all Go Girl!
What's with americans and ageism/age gap fear? Any other place in the world doesn't give a shit about age gap unless it's something like a 40 yo with a 15 yo.

That's a good point never got that. They constantly MsPaint their avatar. Used to think it was weird X-Men I'd never heard of. Same outfit.

Seems so off as you mentioned. Then again it's Excel and ERA. Anything goes.

I'm not sure I understand it either. As long as both are adults. I think some worry about a "power" imbalance when older men date younger women. I never see that referenced when its flipped though. My gf is almost 13 years younger than me and we are great for each other. Not perfect by any means but it works.

A lot of Era are perma-virgins to the point that they've never even asked someone out, and there's an incredible amount of jealousy for those that can make romantic connections. So they get angry at those that do and claim it's due to some nefarious reason (old man preying on a young woman) rather than the person has a decent job/looks and/or self-confidence/sense of humor, etc. There's a lot of women in their 20's who would rather go out with older guys because honestly, a lot of guys in their 20's still need to get their shit together, whether it's financially, emotionally, mentally, etc.

Of course, if the situation was reversed, they would be all "you go girl" and "slay queen" kind of crap.

This is how I see it, I’ve only ever seen “cis” on Era, and 99% of the time it’s used as an insult! So fuck off, as that post says , if someone says they don’t want to be referred to that way, don’t refer to them that way.

Wow thread went off the rails immediately.

What a bunch of... Weird anti-science idiots. "because they're used to being the default/normal, and can't handle change and/or are transphobic" seems to be the general answer.

You... Uneducated mongrels.

"cis" is the default. It is the normal. Do you even know what those words mean? Did you flunc basic english, or are you yet again trying to change the meaning of words? Pick up a dictionary and learn words.

No bans isn't surprising, they let things spiral then lock it for 3 days and ban half the thread. They're all just bait threads to start banning people.

Eh, 90% of the responses are just the same handful of people screeching in the thread that have in every trans thread on that site. Most people probably ignore all those threads after the purges in recent months.

I'm completely lost on what half their arguments are, for example:

a42NYAs.png


"It puts them on the same level as a trans person", what does that even mean? Cisgender is now the top of the oppression pyramid also? It's a term used to attack and erase their very existence? They keep vaguely responding about how it's not an insult but most of their implication is that it lowers cisgender people. So whether it was originally meant it as an insult, they seem to absolutely use it as an insult while simultaneously saying it's only an insult because of your fragility.

LOL already permanently banned

Lmao. Did one of those idiots seriously say that being 'cisgender' is no longer the status quo? 😂😂

I'll tell you why nobody like the term cis man or cis woman, because it's a term that tries to normalise the idea that nobody's just a man or woman.

Fuck off, there's men and women and then there's trans men and trans women. Just because trans people need a qualfier it doesn't mean that ordinary people do.

Alright, so I was reading their Gamestop thread and some of them ventured over to wallstreetbets. The WSB community delivered as expected. Reset folks came back to discuss. Hilarity ensued.


The one poster Stooge went "A poster said I should be literally eaten." and I absolutely cracked up.

Oh... oh my god... this thread... this is just GOLDEN HARRY! I sure as shit have not created a label to be used on other people just because I am white and I sure as shit don't like to be labeled cis by someone who came up with it just because they want to be unique snowflakes. What the fuck is going on? I LOOOOVE how they say that we MUST have a label on us because "SOCIETY!" but if you see someone label THEM with something they don't like then it's "off to the fucking gulag with you!"

JUST LOOK AT THIS SHIT! This is so baffling that I am surprised that they even have a functioning brain with emphathy.

"Nothing is being forced on anyone"
"Nothing is being forced on anyone"
"Nothing is being forced on anyone"

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT ASTRO!?

30+ single with your shit together? Younger women will chase you, no creepness involved. It all stems from jealousy and sexism "She's too young to be in charge of a vagina, stupid girl getting taken advantage of by DILFs". I wouldnt put it passed the fact that at least one person in her girl friend circle has reported back that older men are a better fuck either.

Just wanted to post again to say it’s pretty sad how the topic of this thread literally says “don’t get personal” yet this thread is FILLED with people making personal attacks against posters on another site they know nothing about.

like come on, we all know resetera is trash when it comes to moderation and stuff but when posts in this thread devolve into “LOL X POSTER IS PROBABLY A TRANS VIRGIN ANYWAY” when nothing in the quoted post suggests that, it really goes against any valid point made here.

Yes, that is one of the negative aspects of a thread of this nature and the main reason why Evilore wanted to shut it down earlier.

He's made only ever made two posts, both in this thread. A wild Ree has escaped the enclosure.
And one of my posts (so 50%) were complaining about resetera and directly pointing out how bad the moderation there is. What point are you trying to make here? Did I say anything that isn’t true?

I lurk on this site a lot, and despise a lot of what resetera is and allows. How does that invalidate my most recent post here?

Yeah, only after they banned you. Did you just get banned from there again? BTW the "I lurk" excuse by low posting Rees is really overused that come running here to wait out their bans.

Your post in this topic was "Banned (duration pending), arguing in bad faith, concern trolling, history of similar behavior"

I got banned there months ago, and haven’t posted their since. Like I legit can’t even remember what month I was banned there.

if you want to try and make this out to be something more than it actually is then you’re literally just proving my point that people in this thread are doing their damndest to make it personal when you don’t need to do that to shit on Ree.

feel free to check what post I was banned for and see if you agree that I was posting in bad faith if you want.

because I said people here are invalidating their potentially valid posts by making baseless personal attacks despite the thread title literally telling them not to?

I don’t disagree with the overall point being made in this thread. I disagree with how it’s being made in some cases. Am I not allowed to say that?

edit: btw I just checked why I was banned there And it’s not for the reasons Nush posted above so I legit don’t even know what user they’re looking at. I was “Cokie bear” and was banned for dismissing racism when actually I was just disproving racism. It was also at least a year ago that I was banned there.

That was false. Check my last posts on the site. I got a temp ban for dismissing racism then they changed it to that nonsense. I also double checked and it was March last year I got banned, so less than a year ago as I posted previously.

still not sure how any of this invalidates what I posted here regardless. Are you arguing that the posts I’m referring to here (which I can quote if you like) aren’t just random personal attacks based on nothing?

I took 'don't be personal' as you can mock a ERA poster/mod but you don't put up their details that could open them to be doxxed. For example I could mock Nepenthe based on her height as it's common knowledge (information she shared) but I couldn't tell people her real name (... is Gary Coleman) as that is personal information.

Pretty much - does anyone actually believe these posters conduct themselves the way they do on a message board? No, otherwise they'd be picking up their teeth every day. If you portray yourself as a sanctimonious asshole on the internet then people will laugh at you. Don't want people to read your shit and make fun of you, then don't use public facing sites like era, reddit, twitter, instagram etc. Find a place that has member view only or appropriate privacy settings.

Isnt that how half their cancel threads start? Look at what this person said on twitter 8 months ago? Let's all pile on now and call them trash, racists, bigots, incels, sexists etc.

He could just use the 'ignore thread' button and not have to care about it.

Weird the people who come in here to whine about the thread existing, most of the time they haven't even read past a few pages.

If I can't mock a poster who gives relationship advice when he has a 2 year warranty on his marriage, I'm lost for words.

This excelsior dude is a honey trap to bait people into getting banned. It's hilarious.
