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

Why are they like this?

Other users that replied to you made some good points, like allowing prominent posters to get away with rule breaking and browbeat other RE users that try to do the same. However, I believe the main reason goes hand in hand with why the staff bends over backwards to justify why they can't/won't post a list of rules or guidelines.
They don't want a word filter because the ideal user would never think of uttering the awful term "cunt" if you need a word filter then you are already lost in their eyes and administration is already looking for a reason to ban you.
If you aren't totally moved by my reasoning, think back to before the U.S. elections last year, it was almost mandatory to refuse to vote for Kamala on the basis of Palestine, when asked why they would permit a Trump victory when he had stated his intentions to not only follow in Biden's footsteps but go further with regards to Palestine the default response was "I refuse to engage in a dilemma where genocide is guaranteed." That's all well and good, maybe even admirable to some, but unless you're going to proceed to reveal to the world that you're a super saiyan then that's just not living in reality. But you couldn't point that out, and you still can't really point that out without risking a ban from Neppy. It's ideology over being pragmatic and you must be in 100% or you're just an account waiting to be banned.

Sorry if my grammar sucks or this tangent spiraled into something else entirely. I write my posts in the spur of the moment.

Just don't say the c-word. It's very simple.

I do wonder why they never use word filters. 

That would actually

1. Resolve their problem (we dont want people to type cunt)
   
2. Communicate clearly that something isn't okay (when you type it its censored)
   
3. As below, enforce evenly across the whole userbase
   

Absolutely no opportunity for moral grandstanding, ego boosting, gaslighting, or tut tut-er-ing 

Gotta let the reset mods get some satisfaction.

I don't like word filtering or getting pressed over swearing in general, but like if you're gonna do it...

Reeesetera mods: Moderating you animals with your offensive language is such hard work that we experience frequent mental breakdowns. 

Normal people: Just use a word filter bro

Reeesetera mods: No because that would break the universe and result in the heat death of all life. Also, it's too much hard work. I'm about to have a mental breakdown right now. 

Normal people: Just quit bro. It's not like you're getting paid by the Swedish crypto bros anyway. 

Reeesetera mods: Ummmm....how about no!

[Potato]

I think the bire should ban and word filter cunt into disagreeable.

Don't be cunty

[Potato]

Do you not remember when the mods thought they would be hilarious and after they posted this: https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=101192806 they created a word filter that replaced ‘cunt’ with something like ‘I am dumb and can’t think of a better word’ or some bullshit?

Of course I don't remember, it's been memoryholed by the ministry of truth! (members-only, apparently)

God, even 2 years back…

It's still not super clear for me, are women going to be actioned for using it at all, or just "less harshly"?
Edit: and yes agreed on updating the FAQ with those rules. The banned games list also needs to be updated...

Less harshly.

How will you determine a user's gender to action them? User profile pronouns?

How will non-binary members be actioned?

Based on their posting record and relevant staff will give their input.

They’ve hated you for a while Morrigan. Just come over here. Even you must see the insanity in that place now. I believe there is a deep part of you begging to be set free from that pisshole. Here, you can use the word ‘cunt’ freely!

She's the cunt who instigated cuntgate

Ree posts all his latest Asmon lore for good boy points

Blah Blah Blah

Gets called on his deep Asmon expertise

No offense OP but there is way too much Asmongold fan insider knowledge in this post to make sense to me. All these people suck, yeah? Fuck em all.

The piss baby starts back peddling, pretending he doesn't know anything about Asmon. Lore just dropped. Many such cases.

I get most of this lore from 2nd hand sources, like other streamers talking shit about him. I haven't really delved into watching OTK content itself.

 

Thread derails into Hassan sitting at the Nazi table

If you're that close with so many pieces of shit, you're probably one too.

Found ResetEra’s motto!

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Hasan is part of the same talent agency and hasn't left because of Asmon's nazi behavior. You know what they say about 9 nazis at a table..

[benita]

lmao vagine getting stomped in that thread.

I assume Melds is certainly not going to the grocery store every single day. So considering her daily "I can't eat today" posts, that means that all of her meals are Uber Eat right? Her parents must enjoy having delivery guys constantly ringing.

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

I know it's a grift and she's not literally unable to eat

[DavidCroquet]

A fun turn in that thread where ZeoVGM comically tells another poster to “get off your high horse”. 

Don’t print that he was mad.

ZeroVagina getting called out for having expertise knowledge on shitheads

Too bad Messyboughtawife is banned. He's the poster of child of being obsessed with documenting "chuds" online.

Context: A Street Fighter 6 player got up to Master Rank with Mai using only one hand 😏, and made a youtube video about it. Twitter transgender user complains about it, sparking some backlash from people within the fighting game community (FGC)

The FGC - Why don't women want to part of the FGC?

Also the FGC - It's just a joke bro, stop being so sensitive

Some of the replies saying it's just a joke (with a dose of sexual harassment) I'm not sure if I should post some replies but felt like I had to, to prove that it is the actual response they received

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

Not really an interesting post, but one of the screenshotted replies is "you're literally a man pretending to be a woman and forcing everyone to partake in your fetish". So I wonder if that'll get actioned or not.

Also worth mentioning, Kordova changed his avatar from Hentai Cammy to a more regular Cammy. Perhaps he either read this thread, or got warned by the staff. 

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Why is Morrigan talking about cyberpunk? Shouldn't that only be allowed in the OT?

[JoeBoy101]

Just don't say the c-word. It's very simple. 

ERA Moderation: EXCEPT these people. They can say cunt.

Plebian Users: But why?

ERA Moderation: No questions.

[HaughtyFrank]

A fun turn in that thread where ZeoVGM comically tells another poster to “get off your high horse”. 

Don’t print that he was mad.

Also his example of Asmon turning full nazi is... Asmon arguing the Nazis burned a guys books because he was jewish and not because the book was about gays?

Like... who cares?

Morrigan thinking that you are supposed to like Johnny Silverhand at first.  

No wonder she likes Dark Souls games, she can write the story in her head before even playing it to the end.

You also don't need to throw in a sex scene like, at all. It's not that important to the narrative.

I’m sorry, what fucking genre of fiction you think this is?

The woman at the start of the game in the bathtub - Sandra Dorsett - she is important also later in the game.. and you know, V in that scene shoved another body in the bathtub like nothing when he was looking for her.. a male naked body - well, I believe that body had boxers on - but still
Game has many interesting women characters from all kinda backgrounds, sexualities, nationalities and so on

Nothing about this does anything to justify or diminish how completely unnecessary and demeaning it was to have her naked chest shoved in your face for the entire latter part of that mission.

 

Is the tutorial mission, you retard. Why are you getting aroused by transporting a half dead chick to emergencies?

[Boredfrom]

I've been playing Cyberpunk and I'm honestly surprised it hasn't come up in this thread more (or maybe I missed it). The scene with the playable Johnny Silverhands flashback having a long first-person sex scene with Art Cunningham and the camera leering all over her (and her getting treated like absolute shit by Johnny, then also damselled/captured and turned into an AI shortly after that) was breath-takingly sexist, and even more infuriating considering this is a game where you are supposed to create your own character and choose your own romance. Yet we're forced to play a misogynistic dirtbag (seriously, he calls so many woman a bitch or a c*nt all the time, including the player if playing female V) ogling and fucking a naked woman in first-person... this is batshit, yet I don't remember any controversy (unlike the AC Odyssey DLC). But, again, maybe I missed it, IDK.

I was given the impression that CDPR had come a long way from the Witcher 1, but I guess not. The part in the intro where you carry a vulnerable naked woman in your arm and the camera focuses on her breasts should probably have given me a hint, though.

Also: Johnny Silverhands is godawful and makes the game worse in every way, change my mind

This woman used to be a admin of metal forum and likes Varg. She is surprised that the terrorist rockstar is not a good person.

Are Quebecois not as sexually free as their French brethren?

The first moments that you meet Johnny Silverhand he tries to kill you and then demands that you KYS because he wants your body. He is an anti corpo terrorist that used to drive a Porsche. He detonated a nuclear warhead in Arasaka HQ, in the middle of Night City. 

But you got mad that he throws gendered insults.

Era on their TOTAL STREAMER DEATH arc.

[Boredfrom]

Not to dismiss your opinion, except here's how I'm dismissing it over and over" -- good gods, criticizing this game really is like the bat-signal for you to rush in and defend it, huh

There is no reason for a game with a character creator to force an unwanted sex scene from the first-person perspective of a straight male. NONE. Don't defend this trash. Hell, it'd be trashy even if there was no character creator. This is PS2 God of War-era level of cringe, except possibly worse.

Also spare me your inane "lore" defense. Hell, Johnny is not even a better person. He's just as bad now, if not worse. Know how I know this? I just started the quest, "Chipping in" and he's basically raping V by taking over her body and getting her body trashed and fondling and fucking girls (many of which are of course being ogled by the camera). This is of course after he promised he'd only "take over" to talk to Rogue. It's honestly sickening. The game revels in his misogyny and forces the player to endure it. (I reloaded the quest the moment I had to watch my character's body being forced to finger a girl in a car -- I'm not doing this regardless of "quest rewards", what a trashy fucking game.)

As for Art, why should I give a fuck about what the tabletop game does? The game takes plenty of liberties, they didn't have to keep the sexism shit in it. "It's canon" DUDE I DON'T CARE

You constantly defend this game like it's your mother, and it's irritating to all hell. Stop.

“Johnny Silverhand is rapping me.”

Maybe they should ban twitch from Era too 

There's a LOT of nazis on that site..
