Somebody tells me they didn't like or even watch Ghostbusters and I hear somebody who wants to say it with a hard-r but hasn't yet found a way to get away with it.

Still no bans in that Bill thread 

[benji]

The mass violence against Ghostbusters was a test run by Gamergate for what they would do with Trump who was a test run for what they would do with Elon to setup the genocide. All while the staff on ResetERA.com does nothing and even actively supports all this.

[books]

Originally, I wasn't into having a new character jumping in mid-season, but it sort of switches things up a bit even though it's the same genocide topic. 24 used to do this around hour 12 when the initial threat is vanquished and a  newer more realer threat emerges.

[NekoFever]

Important words that once had a powerful impact have almost completely lost their value as they are thrown about for every minor thing. Those who permanently live online have made things worse for those of us that live in the real world.

I’m still staggered at how you manage to devalue fucking genocide. Like where do you even start whittling down a term for the systematic extermination of a people?

[benji]

Still no bans in that Bill thread 

STILL NOTHING

I’ve def felt a rollercoaster of late seeing a lot of posts where I’m like I can’t believe there’s no push back on this here.

I felt this when Travis Scott’s last album had a thread going with everyone praising it. While it featured Dave Chapelle on a track and was produced by Kanye west. I reported it, but nothing happened and i never heard anything. Not sure why people here would want to support any of that

You know why.

I'll ask you this, do think its a shift to the right or just the mods not being so axe heavy as in the past?

I think it's both but the blame falls on the mods.

This is such a dismissive way to talk about the Arab Spring activist who wrecked their legs trying to walk like a velociraptor, the "system", the "girlfriend" who just moved in with the "system", the cash flush "suicidal" person angrily destroying a thread, the recently fired harm reduction activist arming up, the increasing number of members opting into a group they say is being genocided who are all leaving in droves and Nepenthe.

Well I can understand why they'd be upset at Travis Scott. 10 died at his concert and he just kept playi-

Oh, they're upset that Dave Chappelle is on one of his tracks...

Sometimes you just long for the good old carefree days of logging in on your Dreamcast and reading 30 pages about why saying "female" is harmful and should be banned.

[Uncle]

this place is loaded with centrists

the predominant vibe I get most often is "liberal" and a lot of the time further right than that depending on the subject matter being discussed. this is definitely not any kinda leftist bastion and a lot of communities on here have been tryin to say that for a long ass time (and unsurprisingly haven't been listened to much when doing so)

consider:

there was actually never a promise that it was meant to be anything other than a gaming forum

sure, you can infer it might be a leftist bastion due to the type of place gaf had become at the time of exodus and the event that founded the site, but even at that time it was ostensibly founded on principles of "just" being a gaming forum where all are welcome

they even had a thread for people to be open republicans for a while

Never liked it honestly.

It's hard to get a read on Burr. He says some super questionable shit then says something that makes him seem really 'progressive', to the point you rationalise that the questionable stuff is just part of his jock asshole shtick. Which I can't deny can be fucking hilarious at times.

Then there's this trailer which makes it seem like the dude is kind of just turning into a clueless boomer asshole. Maybe its just a shit trailer, I'll try to sit through it when it releases.

I mean it’s a fictional story that goes along with Burr’s brand of comedy where his entire schtick as of 10 or so years ago is that he’s out of touch old guy with a rapidly changing world around him that he’s desperately trying to catch up with which is highly relatable for a large segment of the populace.

F is for Family is just that trope set in the 70s. A lot of his recent more publicized bits are usually him not understanding why certain things are popular. Famously he has shit on Star Wars fans because he doesn’t see the appeal, and yet he is now one of the more popular characters from the Disney+ shows and he’s only been in 2 episodes.

Burr like a lot of public figures has lived an extremely public life. Thanks to the internet you can pull up clips of him back in 2014 making the same tired trans jokes Dave Chappelle is now, but if you listen to his more recent podcasts you can hear his evolution in understanding trans issues and his empathy for people who are deeply mistreated for no other reason than for who they are. He’s also able to see the contradiction of people who condemn or vilify individuals who go on hormones or get surgeries to be more aligned with their gender who then would turn around and take any number of gender-affirming drugs or undergo their own treatments to affirm their given gender like the Joe Rogans of the world who jump on TRT and promote its benefits specifically to men.

Dude is certainly not perfect and is never going to check off all the boxes for any one demographic. He’s a human being with nuances in his thinking like most people. But as I’ve listened to the guy recently he comes off to me as a dude who is generally “getting” issues whether they be on gender or otherwise. He’s always seemed to be class conscious, but is only more vocal about it these days as the contradictions in our society become much more apparent.

As much as people are shitting on this trailer I can probably tell you exactly how this movie is going to go:

Act 1: Bill Burr and friends are living their lives largely outside of the rest of the world. His son he had later in life is now older and ready to enter the modern school system that’s going to expose him and his friends to much younger parents than him who he can’t relate to. At the same time his job is also changing and updating company policy and demographics.

Act 2: Bill and friends bump heads with everyone as they become more and more frustrated with how they can’t relate to the world around them. He tries to do the right things by his kid but his stubbornness keeps getting in the way. This culminates with some big comeuppance he’s able to get over on the people who’ve annoyed him the most, but has the unintended consequence of hurting his relationship with his kid or negatively impacts him in some way.

Act 3: Bill realizes he has issues he needs to get over starts doing the work to apologize to everyone and make things right. He maybe finds a new job or makes amends at the one he has, forms a more cordial relationship with the younger parents around him, and his friends come along for the ride. He ends up becoming closer to his son and everything wraps up with Bill, who’s still learning, maybe making one final good-natured crack at someone he made amends with or something even more new comes in and sets him off again as credits roll.

It’s a movie that’s been done a million times and like I said previously, seems like it’s just a quick payday for him from Netflix to make a by-the-numbers “old person deals with the youths” comedy movie.

I mean that just feelsl ike a Bill Burr stand up routine in film form.

Exactly, but I don't think it translates into a movie tbh. Bill is great, but he's also very abrasive. He needs some other comedians to make a film like this work

[AldusMoneyPenny]

How does a community simultaneously both leave in droves and post constantly in every thread?

Also, this comment cracked me up:

This feels like the budget is too high and the premise isn't strong enough to sustain a 90-120 minute feature. A solid 6-8 episode season maybe.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-trailer-for-bill-burrs-directorial-debut-is-the-worst-thing-youll-see-all-day.766361/post-112321733
Yes, it won't sustain a 90 minute movie - why not 6-8 (or 3-4) hours instead?

Also, in what world is that Jersey_Tom post a "drive by"? It's a well thought out rebuttal to the question at hand. Like you can disagree with it, but it's not dismissive (it's engaging with the premise of the argument head on) and it's not a "drive by" at all. A permanent ban? No wonder sane human beings are leaving that site in droves.

What exactly is transphobic?

I mean, Bill Burr is usually the one who goes against Rogan and the others on such issues in the kulturkampf. 
If I recall correctly he was a Bernie Sanders guy and voted for Hilldawg.

I have to be missing something because it looks like this is the guy's only post in the thread and it seems to have happened before any of the transphobia posts so I guess he got banned for not being a precog and knowing he was going to be dismissing Melody?

Looks fine. Don't know why he wanted to translate his special into a film but whatever. If you're not familiar with his comedy then you probably hate this premise alone, which I totally understand.

ITT young people yell at clouds /s

The film looks okay...I love Bill Burr, but I don't think I can sit through an hour and a half of this kind of content. Not for me.

makes much more sense, thanks

Comedians need to wake the fuck up,they're way too insular of a group that goes into beserker mode anytime someone dares to criticize someone's routine.
When people started slightly criticizing Chapelle's transphobic shit years ago it was like stepping on an Anthill,comics coming out of nowhere going " don't silence us" "itit'sa performance" " this is art" " you're a facist for calling us out" .
If comics gave Chapelle shit for what he was doing years ago he wouldn't be this popular nowadays.
It's like an union/guild of shitheads.
Kinda like the police actually

Almost like... the members of resetera...
