I don't understand why Fat4all hasn't been banned. He's constantly shitting on the mods.

Because they’re being contrarian to us pointing it out. He’s also a longtime poster. so it’s a combination of “ Fuck the haters”, and “He’s our weirdo. We’ll decide when he goes too far, not you assholes”.

Also now that he’s gay, or whatever, it’s OK that he’s doing the “Boys Club Rhetoric” bullshit ban they’ve used as an excuse to get rid of some people who don’t follow their sexual preferences.

[clockwork5]

Again, like I said in my big post, if there's new news feel free to make a new thread. We even have a TRB banner ready for when that happens. For some reason I feel like literally everyone is glossing over the fact I said that.

I also want to note that part of the problem is that people are starting to "joke" about assassinations like this one in other contexts. We literally had someone joke about assassinating a federal judge, something that is generally taken pretty seriously by law enforcement given they are already an assassination risk. What do people think happens when that sort of joking makes it's way over to gaming side or other less serious topics? Seriously, it's bad for everyone.

You’ve had members make thinly veiled comments advocating the assassination of Supreme Court justices for over a year and didn’t do anything. Now they are throwing a temper tantrum because they can’t pat each other on the back for something as small as joking about knocking off federal judges.

Harassing streamers for liking Concord didn't happen. It happened with the Harry Potter game, with harassment by them. I think they assume their “enemies” used their same tactics and false memory’d it.

The funny thing when Concord was imploding was that no one was playing it. Like when something is a mega flop you’ll often get streamers and YouTubers making videos about it to capitalise on the train wreck, making “how bad is it really?” kind of things, but it didn’t even get that.

Streamers were ignoring it to the point where Era was even commenting on how utterly it was flopping.

Nathan J Robertson vindicated

In a thread where they are cannibalizing a former darling, seeing this guy invoked is kind of hilairous.

Yeah, Nathan J Robinson (you misspelled his name, dummy), the guy who made this cringe inducing video defending Tara Reade lol.
That's the guy with his finger on the pulse.

By "unsafe" they usually mean "Everyone doesn't immediately conform to my every word and deed."

People like that don't want "allies" because even allies disagree with each other and have their own thoughts and feelings on matters. No. When they say they want "allies" what they really mean is they want loyal drones that never question them and agree with everything they do. 

Sycophants in other words.

Come on B-Cucked perma these bitches already

I don't understand why Fat4all hasn't been banned. He's constantly shitting on the mods.

I'm a dog, cum in my shithole!!!HAHAHA!!
I like to eat cuz i'm fat!!! HAHAHA!!!
I think B-Dubs is a bitch!!! HAHAHA!!

I know we kid aroud here but I'd like a moment to send a message to our favorite Manager.

Hey, B-douche. I know you read this. You are the biggest bitch made Manager I've seen in a long time. Good job, you  should just ask Fat4 and the rest of Era to pump your butt-pussy full of jizz since you are now the the biggest pussy on there.

In prison one of the biggest insults is calling somebody a Punk. Getting Punked-Out means you take it in the ass and not fight back. Punks just take it in the ass because they are weak people. That's you, B. A weak-ass bitch. 

What's most funny about it is B takes it in the ass from a bunch of internet nerds too. Like, these goofballs are intimidated by eye contact and this "general manager" puts his butt up in the air to get fuck by the weakest clowns on the planet.

I assume they banned him because of the implication of there being a double standard in moderation. 

Since the era gays are allowed to make topics about being whores and homewreckers while objectifying men like pieces of meat and MIMIC's thread started with a declaration of how hot the married guy's body was and how tempting it was. Any guy (WLW/transbians excluded) making those comments about a woman would have been banned for boys club rhetoric. So he was banned for pointing that out. Noticing too much basically

Also curious for a journalist to claim that reporting a fact (her stream with Hasan Piker) is considered harassment. That Piker has been under fire for antisemitism is no secret and nothing started by this smashjt guy. So is it harassment to report that she associated with a "problematic person". I mean, it's cancel culture shit but talk about sitting in a glass house

User Banned (1 day): Misogynistic Slur, adjusted due to circumstances & appeal

furious

fuck these transphobic cunts, fuck this terf-infested island. we are backsliding so hard on this.

I got a rather brazen dismissal in letter form last time I wrote to my MP on the issue but I'm going to be doing so again. I urge everyone in the UK to do the same. If enough people actually did, if their inboxes filled with cis voices protesting this, then perhaps they'd feel less comfortable doing this sleeper-style genocide.

Banning someone from the UK for using the c word for a week when they are defending trans rights seems rough.

Truly.

Does context (in a few ways) mean nothing?

Kunty himself:
No, and it's a frequent problem around this. You have someone who's written a template to help people contact their MP in the wake of a nationwide indefinite healthcare ban for trans youth get banned for calling both Wes Streeting and the Labour party exactly what they are.

Anyone with the ability to read can tell it's not being used in a misogynistic manner and is instead directed at a political party or figure currently involved in denying trans people the ability to exist as ourselves. Both through this action and the ongoing threat of banning us from changing rooms and bathrooms in workplaces.

It's pathetic. You can't even call something cunty which is in queer slang everywhere outside of here.

Tyrant
Banning anyone for using it is fucking stupid. Especially for women using the term. Banning say me from using the term cunt is essentially the removal of a woman's power to use the term. Culturally say for example in Australia it's just as "bad" as saying I dunno bastard? Like next they'll ban the word twat because it also means vagina. 🙄

The era cunt ban needs a proper review, it's fucking ridiculous. It's the epitome of liberal men who ban something that can be seen as misogynistic because they don't want to police the actuall misogynists in their community.

It's like people banning breastfeeding because it might make others uncomfortable.

Chiming in to say that it also strikes me as crazy that Duck was banned for using a word that's widely known to be a common British pejorative, to the point that its basically the catchphrase of one of the main characters in one of the biggest TV shows in the world right now, in a thread about British politics, because it offends American sensibilities.

That they caught a ban for doing it angrily defending trans rights, and providing bountiful resources for fighting back against the transphobic policies of the UK government and offering resources for isolated and fearful trans folk, tips it over from crazy to fucking infuriating.

Oh it certainly is. I've commented on the matter elsewhere.

I will depressingly add that template letters almost never get a response from MPs. It's better than doing nothing, but its even better to craft your own letter, write your own words. You're more likely to get an actual response that way.

Imagine banning proactive voices at a time of crisis.

Absolutely disgusting. Mods should be fucking ashamed of themselves

A certain feathered friend asked me to pass on that they'd rather the thread not become focused on the ban, but attention focused on the news story and the trans lives that need attention right now.

Context, in Era modding? Don't be daft.

Wait we can't use cunt to describe these foul fucking cunts?

Massive respect to the waterfowl ❤️

Without wanting to appear to be backseat modding: it's probably best that we drop the c-word chat now, because it's just going to end up with lots of other people getting banned.

Fair, just find it pretty fucked. It's insane that this shit is happening in the UK and I truly hope each and every person involved loses both their feet through some method where they are denied coverage.

People get pearl clutchy as language can be different in other places and words can have different meanings.

Fuck labour and fuck wes, absolute shower of. I didn't vote for them, but I'm writing to my MP again, not that they gave a single shit and hid behind the Cass report.

Feels like it ignores the context, but I get that. Honestly I'm just more appalled at what is happening to trans people (And specifically trans kids) in the uk. It has been a systematic attack to erode their existence and I'm not seeing an end where these issues are corrected. This is a slow burn genocide and all I can do as an outsider is wish for bad things to happen to those involved.

See you next Tuesday, Wes.

Wankshaft.

Bend over B-dubs!!

[HaughtyFrank]

There's some irony there about trans women being angry that they can't say cunt

Pretty much everything you just said is a lie.

[DavidCroquet]

What  even prompted the banning of the word "cunt" in the first place? I've seen these british hooligans crying about it since day zero.

Surely there was some material inciting incident to make it worth the effort of dealing with these crybabies every time someone is hit with the gentlest of bans. A week, lol. 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

also another example of Kyuuji and co using trans privilege as an opportunity to relitigate established feminist narratives. "he wasn't calling a woman a cunt, so it's not misogynistic!"...I'm old enough to remember the argument that using female-gendered slurs as all-purpose insults is inherently misogynisitic regardless of target, because it draws a parallel between womanhood and undesirable qualities/characteristics.

And Era moderation must agree...unless it's now permitted for a poster to call something "gay" as a synonym for stupid? It's obviously not meant as a homophobic slur if I'm using it to refer to a disappointing release date announcement or price increase of a streaming service!
