Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

Found a solution for B-Dubs' ongoing concerns:

[Uncle]

they haven't banned puberty encouragers yet, which is a major concern

I know people who are abusing these drugs who have gone through puberty 30, 40 times, they just keep getting hairier and their balls drop lower and lower

[Potato]

Again, I repeat, the vast majority of the world that uses the word "cunt" almost exclusively directs it at men. 

Just because you Yank cunts can't use the language correctly, doesn't mean that everyone else should suffer the indignity of not being able to express themselves fully.

Hey I don't think the word should be banned either--unless you're going full court press and banning the rest of the female-coded insults (bitch, sissy, pussy, etc.)--I'm just pointing out what is clearly true: Era will toss women* overboard in a second to satisfy the demands of women†.

*biological women

†trans women

Sorry, that post was directed to the reeees, not you. Was a little ambiguous.

I know it's crazy, but yes, Donald Trump will be deporting all the children born to troops serving overseas, this is definitely a thing that will happen.

Liking the popular videogame that is literally a war crime is terrible

Honestly thinking of just leaving the forum at this point, there's barely any active women posters compared to what there used to be, this forum constantly acts like a boys locker room, and now it's too much to expect a slur which is directed against women not to be used even though posters could use multiple other terms? Just constantly dismissed here, why bother

:( I understand but this makes me so sad too. Just in case you've never heard of it we do have the REgals thread. We need more women's voices on this forum.

Wow, look at this transphobic post

User banned (2 weeks): trolling across a series of posts

Bro, you're literally contradicting your entire point about people not being a monolith...by then using your anecdotal example of your friend to justify punching down jokes. So because your friend and some might be okay with it, just ignore the ones that aren't then??

This is what you said to me:

"Okay. He still also made a 'joke' humiliating a black woman with alopecia in front of the world to see. That is absolutely inexcusable."

You wrote it is "absolutely inexcusable." That is you SPEAKING for all black women.

I'm telling you my friend who is black and a women, didn't feel the joke is "absolutely inexcusable".

I'm not viewing black women as a monilith because I'm taking my friends feelings into consideration. You're the one who is assuming how all black women should feel about Chris Rocks alopecia joke.

Said friend needs to sign up on Ree and sell Clicky herself then get ban for it

I always wonder if ClickyCal' is that agitated in real life as well. Must be fun to be around

Feel like the "allies" on ResetERA.com could learn a lot from this example of organizing against the staff of Bluesky.

Think how many lives could be saved if the voters defied Keighley's fascist wishes and gave Concord the GOTY award. The fact that this won't happen makes me not even want to live past the release of Zootopia 2.

their cited reason in the petition is that he quoted a patient's statement from their medical records when they didn't give consent for that, and the rules clearly state that you can't post personal information without consent

except unless I misunderstand, the records were obtained by a news source, he was quoting from the news source, and also didn't name the person who made the statement

it is the most technical rules lawyering possible

Regarding the Musk $400M thread, there's no way nuking that many people isn't going to set off some shit, surely?

Sign my petition to replace the virgin Gal Gadot with the Chad Ana de Armas as top of page gal

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.

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!

They do the same with cocksucker and similar terms, despite like 60% or more of the world being cocksuckers and it not being an exclusively gay act

The outrage that Singal is causing by merely having account is insane and reveals how they're anything but reasonable people

I'm just so tired of living in a world where wholesome wlw games aren't announced at The Game Awards. And people claim this industry is just fine and there's nothing to worry about.

Nice alt, BananaBlast.

As a reminder: anyone advocating for assassination gets banned. That has ALWAYS been against the site's ToS.

I'm only new here, but I did see a lot of this kind of thing in the discussion about this topic on this board, even from some staff members. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and triggers a lot of repressed feelings about violence that I have.

So it's around 270K outside at night, nice and chilly. It's been snowing heavily outside (if you live in a place where it doesn't snow, just roll with it or assume the Hecatoncheires flew by on their chariot during their day off and had a bad case of eating too much hot spicy chilli and caused it) and either yourself or one of your neighbours (I don't know how whimsy you are) has made a snow person, whether a Snowman, snowwoman, Snow dog, Snow cat, snow devil etc etc etc etc.

During the night when you're passing the window, just as midnight rings, you notice something outside, the Snow person sparkling in multicolour light and then begin to move and look around; noticing you through the window. They tip their hat and bow at you in gracious way to say hello.

What do you do?

I'm feeling unsafe reading all that. Man up, ladies.

Avengers Endgame level of crossovers:

The “you went to kiwi farms, you need to be excommunicated” tactic. A lot of anti GG, like Brianna Wu, used it to bury wrongdoings.

"Wrongdoings?" Excuse me sir the technical term is "consent accident"
