A lot of it is a lot easier to understand when you remember that ResetEra is a direct off-shoot of a forum in NeoGAF that very gleefully had its own "Draw Muhammad Day." I don't doubt many of the same people drifted over here. Basically a direct "fuck you" to its own very liberal Muslim community.

After how many years how do you guys don’t get it? Liberal Christians and Jews get it, but you guys, deep down, want to be privileged over others. Is a shame for the people in your religion that gets it but they need to shut up or get lepered by their families/communities.

The “draw muhammad day” came in response to Islamists threatening to murder South Park creators and Comedy Central’s capitulation to terroristic threats. Fundamentally, it was about freedom of expression. This was a few years before Charlie Hebdo, which I’m sure this guy totally condemns. 

More recently there was the story in France of a teacher beheaded. Era had a defense force justifying it. Last month the girl who started those events admitted she lied about it to cover her school suspension.

Wait, what?

The Father of Empiricism is one of the most influential thinkers to walk the earth in modern history, a dialogue with which may prove indubitably fascinating. On the other side, the Irish painter could make a mean quick sketch of all the party guests and it may still be a morbid masterpiece, with stories over drinks to boot.

With FantasticToma having a meltdown over a Christmas present and him not being able to grasp basic fiction like Squid Game, I am starting to think that this guy is not the brilliant analyst of the Israel/Palestine conflict I thought he was.

Seems like he's just chilling until the court case

[Propagandhim]

The funniest part of that story is when the poster said, "I asked him if he was a serial killer and a human trafficker and he said no he wasn't a serial killer...but said nothing about whether or not he was a human trafficker.  I cracked the case!"

I think they're brainwashed by capitalism.

Yep, if I could never work again I would retire in a heartbeat. I was trying to explain to my dad during our last visit how I've learned that I get very little satisfaction out of actual work; and I only view work as a way to pay for my lifestyle and hobbies. His response was "well that's a sad way to look at work, right?"

But… your dad is right. Is sad and is worse that you don’t get his point.

You guys will still be considered parasites and bloodsuckers in the Communist socialist utopia.

Can't believe it but I finally tested positive for COVID this morning after dodging it all this time. Must've caught it from my parents this Christmas in which I just assumed they had a normal cold.

I really just had to let my guard down.

Absolutely, and that's the reason why I've been saying for years now that the magnanimus "Just make good games!" attitude doesn't work anymore (If ever).

These people are against the very notion of non white male characters existing regardless of quality. We need to support well intentioned attempts at character diversity regardless of whether or not we like the games themselves. Does that mean buying everything? Nah.

What I'm saying is essentially, lets never do a Forspoken dogpile again, any game with a black or female or LGBT lead will have an increasingly uphill battle from now on.

being fair, not getting satisfaction from specific kinds of work is totally normal, you can't necessarily force yourself to love whatever job you found in proximity to where you live for whatever money you require; there could be jobs you'd love but they're not within your reach or wouldn't pay enough, and those satisfying jobs would possibly involve the aforementioned lifestyle and hobbies

it's a sad situation, yes, but it doesn't imply you think of all work as being devoid of satisfaction, just whatever it is you can realistically see yourself doing to get by

for most people, part of their hobbies entails the social aspect that gets others into the same hobby so you have more to discuss and more to enjoy and consume, and promotion of your hobby could manifest a number of ways that would lead to a satisfying job

[HardcoreRetro]

Are they talking about Forspoken as good representation?

It has the black character show up to court for being a criminal in the intro.    Also has an absentee father.

Whelp I had just been getting back into this game since the Illuminate were added and I've been having a blast…and now I've uninstalled, and canceled my order for the Helldivers controller next month. A damn shame, but I won't partake of an online shooter managed by a guy who openly emboldens chuds.

So you are not worried that your online friends at PSN would ask for you while you pull a Ned Flanders.

And what you said is very different to say: “Boomers parents were brainwashed by capitalism to enjoy working or doing something that makes them feel useful. They should be like me and slowly die in a corner with retirement money (from their hard work, not mine  ) wasted in video games and porn”  

I mean, I get that people rarely have their dream job but that is very different than saying “enjoying work is capitalism”

This place is not the actual left-wing's wet dream. When even a default reddit sub of all things like r/news has its head on a lot more straight when it comes to Palestine, that's all you really need to know. Because that bar is subterranean.

ResetEra is the most bizarre "progressive" forum I have ever been a part of, by far, both at once beautiful and open yet in some ways also oddly reactionary and regressive, and even conservative. I tend to charitably think people hate religion as a whole here so much that it also extends to Muslims, and they deeply struggle with some makeshift cognitive dissonance there, that doesn't actually exist.

Guys, I think he's figuring it out.

The best plot line running through Marvel movies is how they solved the energy crisis, have magical alien technology, time travel, etc. yet everything is exactly the same as it is in our world. There’s the detail in Watchmen that all cars are electric, because Manhattan and Veidt made it happen. Maybe BP lobbies against Hulk and Goku and whatever.

Speaking of politics this is an amusing one to contrast with their reaction to Snyder, where they were outraged that the films depicted a world and characters both effected by and responding in various ways to just the existence of Superman. They prefer the safety of the MCU where literal gods fly around and the status quo of our world remains completely unchanged. Where half of everyone disappears for five years, possibly the most traumatic event in human history, and nobody talks about it much. These guys bitch about how evil everyone else in our society is, but they got upset that the Snyderverse's masses didn't embrace Superman immediately and few trusted him. "Missing the point of Superman." Or taking the character and concept seriously in a world where some people are willing to draw Muhammed.

Arguably you could expand this to an overall DC vs. Marvel thing because that's how the comics are. The Marvel Universe even has the same President as our world, there's been six decades plus with zero technological trickle-down from anything that's happened since Reed Richards launched that space flight. (Ultimate Marvel was different however.) DC comes up with elaborately stupid explanations for why their universe tracks ours so closely in design. (Essentially our world is the actual "true" Earth in DC that the others are vibrations of.) Though they from time to time do show that there's been a trickle-out through LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises at minimum, so the DC Universe often seems to be a few years ahead of ours. I'd argue that it is especially so in medical technology, there's remarkably little death.

Oop, sorry, didn't mean to take this literature seriously rather than just imbibe the "message" and "politics" to know what I should be screaming at others to achieve basic human decency. GET ORGANIZING LIKE THE AVENGERS!

You need to support the new Captain America and put money in Disney's pockets or else they won't make movies with black leads anymore.

Disney not wanting to be political anymore? You want to boycott? Fuck you. Consume my Marvel films or else I WILL BE UPSET THAT YOU LET THE CHUDS WIN!

Thank you 🙏, people aren't willing to do just ONE THING to show they're an ally. And they expect us to not side-eye them.

Some prominent liberal Muslims at ERA:

SkinnyIndonensian is afraid to go to therapy because Jakarta social media mocks it. Ruining marriages is okay.

Messofanego bought a wife and is a second class therapist for people that are afraid of secular therapy.

Hamas Era are really worried about Palestine and Zionism place in the world. What the fuck is Syria?

[benji]

I don't know why "very liberal" Muslims should be exempt from having their supernatural beliefs mocked anyway. Muhammed isn't holy, he was a creepy tyrant who thought his delusions were messages from a deity, fuck off.

[nampad]

I mean the guy is clearly a weirdo because he wants to meet him.

[Mask]

The whole "everything is politics" is definitely one of the more lower IQ catchphrases to spawn from Era. Its use as a cudgel also shows just how much bad faith the same posters are operating in.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Being a dog owner and complaining about fireworks going off on New Years is political.

[benji]

If everything is political then nothing is. The phrase is completely meaningless. It's like the "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" statement. It says nothing of any value.

They have some kind of fetish for rendering words as completely meaningless while insisting it's cosmically important and should completely alter your worldview to understand the meaningless as, ACTUALLY, the most meaningful thing of all. See also: gender, the way they describe socialism, etc.

the implication there is "switch to communism and then you can be totally ethical"

The article he posted doesn’t focus about this, like at all. Just this:

The Amazon warehouse where she works originally denied her request for a leave of absence, but the company said in a statement Friday that they've since spoken with her and given her time off with pay.

Maybe this was big at social media but why bother in giving any context for the people not obsessed with it?
