User Banned (1 Week): Ableist Rhetoric

I personally consider someone being anti-vax an extreme circumstance, considering that that entire worldwide group of people led to millions of deaths to covid, and that's not even considering pre-covid anti-vax.

I kinda don't even though it's a dumb ass take so I'll agree to disagree.

Being an anti vax to me is someone with a smooth brain but he's not on the league of Harvey Weinstein, Cosby, Kevin Spacey or some other Hollywood monster

So given 'smooth brain' is an incredibly rare disease to the point nobody using that phrase probably even knows it is an actual disease, I'm wondering - like the shit your pants ban - which moderator actually has smooth brain.

Its slayven, right?

[HaughtyFrank]

Hopefully the industry as a whole took some notes from both CP and the reception of Hogwarts and will improve representation going forward so we won't have huge tentpole AAA games with glaring issues, either within the game or around the marketing etc

I'm kinda curious how era thinks the reception to Hogwarts went in their substituted reality, because in the one I live in this was a huge fucking selling game thats been shifting units all year long (unlike a lot of AAA 'gone in a month' releases), and had a big backlash against the trans activists for egregiously shitty behaviour like websites tracking people to target who streamed the game, and a bunch of big streamer 'allies' telling them to go fuck off and playing it anyway.

The funny thing is that RE is literally denying that reality by censoring Hogwarts in sales charts and making it verboten to even talk about what a success the game is

[Uncle]

yeah that's weird, the idea that people on era would deny some aspect of reality like that

[Besticus Maximus]

A lot of dismissing concerns going on here, and I'm fairly sure some of you have a history of infractions of it too

The only lesson learned, was that a decent game, with that ip, prints money.

Oh man, if that TV show ends up being good, mah lord will it be hilarious

[HaughtyFrank]

3 year old thread gets revived and then locked lol. 

Is it thread whining for me to say that if we had a thread dedicated to talking about how hot a female actor is it would get locked?

Considering I just made a thread about how I had a crush on Linda Hamilton in Terminator 1 that was locked, you're not wrong.

What I find hilarious is that thread was incredibly tame compared to this one.

User Banned (3 Weeks): Trolling After Being Warned for Creating a Sexist Thread, Inflammatory False Equivalence around Sexism

"Inflammatory false equivalence around sexism" lol

[BIONIC]

I'm tired of seeing people blatantly disregarding what actually happened with CP2077 and pretend it's all fine. There was no apology or even acknowledgement, they shoved it under the rug until people got tired of it. They shoved in a token trans character and called it a day, just like a trans character was included in HL for tokenization.


I wouldn't be against restricting that too. Persona's homophobia and transphobia, and just in-general bigoted ways of treating people they don't like and are deemed as "socially unacceptable" to them, is something that can never be seriously discussed with fans.

[Averon]

Remember, Kyuuji and co. scrolled through Black Chamber's Twitter, saw only one tweet of his mentioning Trump, and because the tweet wasn't him praying for Trump's death, used that as the basis to claim BC was a Trumper infiltrator trying to destroy ERA from the inside. Of course, the mods bought the rather convenient lie completely and perm banned BC to try to save face

And what drove Kyuuji and co. to do this? BC was the original person assigned to do the CP 2077 OT, and they wanted to take over creating the OT from BC since he didn't prostrate himself to TransERA enough to their satisfaction.

That entire time period on ERA was rather surreal looking back on it. Just complete and total community chaos and psychosis driven by one vain, attention hungry person (Kyuuji) exploiting the fact that the ERA mods were pushovers. And let's not forget she new game+'d CP 2077 in the end and was quite active in the CP 2077 OT for the first few weeks after the game released

[books]

Why must they lie about cyberpunk. It's essentially the big lie but for shut ins.

[Besticus Maximus]

Since they won’t do a rule book maybe we should

[ClothedMac]

surely this time staff posting shit that'd get ppl banned immediately will lead to some self-reflection and an honest convo about-

Someone give me a tldr pls

Nepenthe has been pretty silent since Oct 7 and she poked her head into Poli Era to educate people because he's halfway though a book and Israel Palestine is actually "really simple," in her words and it's easy to choose the "right side."  People pulled a "what do you mean by this," and "could you expand/clarify that?"

Nepenthe said that she was sick and tired of everyone ganging up on the mods and administration and she would not stand by and see her fellow mods attacked for her statements  and said, "Good day sir!"  On her way out she felt the need to clarify that she doesn't think genocide is sometimes good because that's what normal people have to say once in a while.

The rest of the mods probably had a chat where they said, "could you please stop making this about mod-abuse and not defend us anymore?" and she took a vacation

One of the world's most prominent social media sites and news platforms now headed by the world's richest man who unfortunately has intrinsic ties to the automotive and space industries is totally equivalent to a single video game made by a company who revelled in their transphobia and imbued it into their game. Nebula brain take. Ban Elon Musk threads for all I care, but to act like blocking twitter embeds here is equivalent in feasibility to restricting discussion over a game to a single thread is just stup

Yes, Musk is much worse and omnipresent and just plain evil.  But that boycott would be Too Hard!  Lets boycott something easy and show the world what slacktivism can accopmlish.

Does saying "I wouldn't be against" something count as requesting it? No, but it's wishy washy as hell. Ban plz

[Hap Shaughnessy]

I doubt Nepenthe's break is voluntary. It's hard to walk back implying "the collective nation of Jewish people" is committing genocide because of Israel's actions.

Truly insane thread in the making. Dude sounds like he works for some weird cult or snake oil product? Crying all day in front of the people he manages, even though he's not even really responsible for the bookings for this mystery joyous product that also sucks as but he also has themed his entire room at home with?


But yet…

Disney? Marvel?

Based on the username plus the fact that they're posting asia time, maybe it's something anime related or probably Disney. But is anything Disney-related failing that miserably? Maybe he's hosting screenings of Disney's The Marvels

It's Universal Studios:

Is this bigot having an existential crisis because he themed his apartment to Harry Potter?

I am praying that their apartment is all Dark Universe themed, complete with Tom Cruise as Nick Morton, the Mummy man

Nobody cares because only RE cared about the “trans” shit. Hogwarts attracted more mainstream activism than the Kyuuji‘s delusions about Cyberpunk and a lot of stupid jurnos are willing to indulge you. The Cyberpunk stuff has been so fucking flimsy that no even grifters like Hasan Piker were willing to indulge on it.

[jooseloose]

Did the Cyberpunk ban happen before or after the Black Chamber incident?

[kaleidoscopium]

Joanne has blood smeared across her hands of Brianna and every other trans murder. Just venting at how sickening this is and how much I despise her and what she is doing to the UK and the world wide trans community. I'm just in distraught from this.

[Uncle]

simultaneous, he was agreeing with everything they said, oh yes of course discussion should be limited to only the OT, yes we will put in notes about how awful the game is, sure

[Pwnz]

I never found cyberpunk transphobic. It is across the board kind of immature about sex and objectifying it. Like 10% of the NPCs you sprint past are basically skanky hookers of any gender suggesting a good time but there's no dialog tree. The weird kinky ads. Not my thing, but also doesn't bother me. The gameplay is good, albeit not RDR2 or GTA5 witcher 3, but good.

Era has a culture of performative oppression Olympics and a complete lack of understanding of controlling biases. It's ripe with reaction threads that are text book definitions of confirmation bias and a side of all other logical fallacies. There isn't an interest in facts or the truth, but being correct and righteously so. It's a dangerous way of thinking that has plagued cable news watchers that's been more common on the right, but as the right took over antivaxxers, this type of left has proven incapable of rational thought. See the Hamas thread tripping over themselves to congratulate Hamas for treating their terrorist hostages well because some clip on shitter said so. No, no...no need to actually peer review or fact check, it just feels right or I guess left now.

At least the political threads or whenever trans era or tankies decide to declare war on a specific game or TV show. And that's kind of what poliera went through as a community very slowly. The Edmond threads are good and there's some good stuff but anything political is ban baiting kryptonite or will rot your brain.

"Genocide joe" is a poster child of this bullshit.

And that wasn't enough. BC even agreed to a ban, but that only pissed off Kyuuji and company even more since it rightly made them look nuts and unreasonable. BC was killing them with kindness

It's okay Joanne wipes the blood away with her royalty cheques.

I'm fairly sure two mental little cunts murdered the trans girl, JK Rowling was in the counting house counting out her money

Agree. With all that we know of nepnep and how much of her personality and ego are intrinsically linked to the small power she has being a resetera mod, plus the links between poliera and cerium/bdubbs, and there's a less than zero chance this is a voluntary "break".

I'm also not that quick to dismiss the email to MOBA as the cause. So whoever did that, pull your head in and stop potentially fucking up our entertainment.

[HaughtyFrank]

The way these psychos planned the murder is legit fucked up but in their text conversations they also considered other victims. To believe this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Rowling is pretty ludicrous

Hogwarts sticks because of tall poppy syndrome. People love to take a celebrity down a peg or two and lots of men's rights clowns hate Joanne (PBUH TERF cunt).

[Pwnz]

Yeah Nep must be on break for reals, I think she's probably the most antisemitic mod. Dude was unbanned and has the patience of saint responding to all the bullshit in the Hamas fan club thread.

Maybe I'm naive, but a lot of them are okay. I think it's just a few that are causing issues.
