you guys and your bad opinions on batman, when this clearly is the best batman movie

Nolan’s batsuit is the absolute worst

Get that haggard old bitch off my screen or I'm spamming horsegirls.

I fulfilled my end of the bargain why don't you fulfill yours 

It's always kind of a surprise when I remember she's a real person who lives 10 minutes away. I sometimes see her walking her dog. For some reason that JK Rowling and TERF BITCH seem like two different people.

Most coherent villain plan in a Batman film.

Also the most existentially disturbing Batman film with the whole mixing up the dust shit. (Plus Batman being like "whatever, maybe it will work out.")

[Potato]

I very well could go to a post or two off the top of my head right now and report them based on the bolded, but...there would be no point as it's not like higher-ups can be "banned" like normal users would be. What even would happen to them? Nothing, that's what.

We see these things happening repeatedly in forum threads, and then when the pushback gets too hot, it's a retreating into "UwU I'm just smol bean, think how hard I/we have it." It's gross given the flagrant and repeated misuses of power and quietly sweeping things under the rug on display as detailed in this thread.

It's been seven years and somebody finally mentions this.  

But don't call them cops.

They're not cops. Don't compare them to cops.

Cops have Internal Affairs departments. Resetera has a Report-a-Cop helpline that rings out.

[Polident]

Look at this guy being factually incorrect about that incoherent mess when Forever opens with a fight scene superior to every single one in the Nolan films:

Spoiler:                 the only good part of the Nolan films without Heath Ledger?

  (click to show)(click to hide)

I like the Nolan movies. Don’t get me wrong. They’re Bond movies with a Batman who is relatively un-damaged. In context of the world, he’s Batman for like two years, retires, and then is Batman again for a week. He spent more time exploring renewable energy than being a weirdo who punched people in a bat costume.

I’m partial to Bruce being a little off and aware of it. Always liked this scene in Forever. Even Dick skipping up the stairs at the end. Or especially.



And good lord look at those Doom 3 shadows. It isn’t flat front lit with blown out gamma shot against a green screen.

Honestly, I lot of people are going to be more pissed off about:

Making Kryptonians world conquering assholes

But I take it over Donut Lord marrying Louis Lane and Papa Kent awkward sacrifice.

Wow, what a perfectly reasonable position to have. No wonder RE freaks the fuck out.

[DavidCroquet]

For all the Drama in the Community Constructive, it is instructive that B-Dubs haters are so emboldened specifically because he doesn’t ban his detractors on sight.

No spazout about Nepenthe would ever persist this long (or have former mods agitating from the sidelines like its a damn wrestling match lol)

I also like how they justify the implied mod position that walkbacks only weaken their authority.

FACT CHECK:

Literally hitting all the liberal Zionist hasbara talking points

I swear, people like her and Ethan Klein/Destiny must just get these scripts sent to them

Thinking it's a genocide and opposing it is now a Zionist "hasbara" talking point.

Also:

I never enjoyed her videos. There was something slightly untrustworthy about her. Idk, maybe I'm just skeptical of every YouTuber that rambles for an hour and tries to come across as super enlightened. Just seems like ego stroking. I can see when the person has the credentials, but lot of them are just random folks who love to yap.

This is a good example. Blah blah blah.

Not aware of who this is but fuck them.

So much of breadtube turned out to be incredibly lame.

Imagine living with political beliefs that you only uphold when they're generally safe to express and incredibly profitable for you to make content about. What a sad, pathetic existence it must be to stand for nothing.

Who the fuck is this bozo, lots of words from a coward.

No idea why anyone cares what this fucking idiot thinks

I guess i am out of touch since i never heard of this person

Unfortunately some of the popular BreadTube creators got too comfortable with being popular and wanted to go mainstream, so many toned down their content or started becoming more tolerate to beliefs that were directly counter to the content they made.

lmao. people listen to this person for real?

Don't know who this is, but I've stopped reading at "October 7".

Man, wouldn't have expected a bigot to act like a bigot.

The faster we as a society realizes 90% of these streamers/youtubers are shit bag opportunists at fuckin best the better off we will be. What in the hell is a breadtube?

I cannot stand ContraPoints. What great use of strawman arguments. None of that sincerely sounded like she cared about Palestine.

Always thought she was a massive pseudo-intellectual

Looks like I was proven right. Absolutely thick as fuck, stupid, uninformed statement that really shows a lack of actual intelligence

lol she can't stand that no one thinks about her anymore. I'm sure she'll try again in a month or two when this statement doesn't trigger the big reaction she wants. I look forward to forgetting about this in about 5 minutes.

Oh, look, everybody who spent years telling me how important and smart this person is and how important they were in the fight against fascism now suddenly discovers they hated them all along and that they're a bigot if they even knew who they were. And pretends nobody knows who they are as they continue to rake in money from Patreon from everyone just like them. Appropriate considering how they are also dumping on the media that platformed people like Contrapoints in the first place. Should have always known the NYT, Contrapoints and Democrats would betray us to Trump.

"the online left has spent the last 20 months distributing videos of dead children!"

She gives away the whole game here. For one, it's not the 'online left', it's the people in Gaza trying to share what's happening. If that makes you feel uncomfortable and icky, well, good. That's the fucking point. You're human. But this isn't just for shock value, just as images of the mass graves or emaciated Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust are not just for shock value. If you think that's the point of sharing evidence of the genocide, then you're too imbecilic to be ever taken seriously. People have to see the truth to understand what's going on, and guess what, dipshit? It's fucking working. Public sentiment has MASSIVELY shifted towards sympathizing Palestinians over Israelis. Democrats who are taking AIPAC money are struggling to win support from their own voters. The tide is changing and it's thanks to 'the online left' that that is happening. So spare me with this overly verbose drek.

1. No, it isn't. People in Gaza are not spamming Bluesky and Twitter discourse to win arguments over who is most radical.
2. Totally made up headcanon.

That's the trouble with chasing what the polls say to make a position for yourself when public opinion is shifting faster than a politician's (or in this case Contra's) cowardice allows.

Her entire spiel about the use of "Zionism" and people's feelings about it is out of touch. Bad faith assholes exist all the time, they're not who determine the meaning of things, nor is her concerns are actually rooted in reality. At best it's all outdated and reveals the bubble she imprisoned herself in.

I think you're going to have to elaborate and clarify your position. Because Contrapoints's position here seems like "it's a genocide but the left is being annoyingly absolute about it" which to me isn't really defensible.

Yeah but there's nothing worse than being annoying. Someone talking too much about their pet interest? Ugh, annoying. Someone constantly badgering you with questions they can figure out on their own? Ugh, annoying. Someone talking about a mass genocide campaign that is ongoing, openly visible and facilitated by world leaders? UGH, annoying.

Useless take.

Either you agree mass murdering is bad or you have nothing good to say and need to sit down and mind your own business. he fact it's organized like a bullet point form of her videos is just so damn silly.

MISERY. DOOOOOOOM.
How about 'stop posting' CP.

It's amazing how you people always find a way to make it about yourself, your feelings, and "the discourse", instead of making it about the actual issue which is the ongoing murder of thousands of Palestinians. You know, a fucking genocide. Think maybe they're a bit "exhausted"?

Just chant the words, just wear the ribbon.

I stopped watching her years ago when she was being acephobic.

Like Royalan?

[benji]

What are they going to do in a year and the genocide is still going? What about in three years? Five years? Are they still going to be demanding everyone call for the elimination of Israel at the expense of everything else? Even as the midterms, Democratic primaries, 2028 election, and years of political streaming/YouTubing/etc. have all gone on without it mattering?

I absolutely adore how that thread proves everything she said from her statement. From the vague villifaction of Zionism, to the lack of a positive effect (and likely negative one) to their efforts.

I don’t watch Breadtubers, but this makes me almost want to give a shit for her.  Almost.

[benji]

Zero of these candidates support their position. (I probably don't need to say that neither does JD Vance or any other GOPer.) But they're telling themselves that not just Democrats but the American public are turning anti-Israel and anyone not realizing this is trapped in a bubble.

Average Palestinian deaths is 250 per day. So it will take roughly 8000 days to genocide all 2 million. Ask me again in 22 years.

Contra's whole shtick since the beginning has basically been "you should listen to me because I am so smart", yeah.

several bans back to back after a certain event last year taught me a lesson of sorts

[JoeBoy101]

The most irritating thing about the posts in that thread is all of them saying, “wow, way to make it about yourself.”

So-many leftists feel betrayed because I haven't made a video on Palestine.
Do they actually want a ContraPoints video about Palestine? Will they be happy if I get in the bath and pour milk
on a mannequin of Benjamin Netanyahu? No. I have posted about Gaza occasionally, and have quietly given money to Palestinian aid organizations.
But I think what leftists really want is for me to join their chorus of anger. They sense some hesitation on my part, and are judging me very harshly on my presumed opinions.
I'd rather be judged on my actual opinions.

Pretty sure this is where she explained why she was posting this. As always, ERA can’t read the fucking article.

[benji]

Maybe you shouldn't have been a bigot chud if you didn't want to be banned?

[kaleidoscopium]

Fagatha still posts way too often, he's just on bluesky skeeting instead of resetera skeeting. And yeah its 90% about masturbation because the guy is a degenerate sex freak.

[BIONIC]

Since the ban litigations and ban brigading have become the main focus of this thread, despite this being against the thread rules. If this continues, we will temporarily lock the thread to give people a chance to cool down. After which, any additional litigations will be met with threadbans.

Additionally, this is our final stance on the matter regarding the Donkey Kong Bananza thread in question: staff believe the article wasn't contradictory nor was the writer maliciously peddling misinformation or falsehoods, and thus we stand by the remaining bans. After internal review, we reversed some bans that weren't aligned with this initial decision.

WORST DECISION

[DavidCroquet]

People don't respect how hard it is for us here on the hatesites.

Years of backbreaking posts hoping to see nepenthe permed, but the months drag on and they won't even toss us a Morrigan warning. 

[Straight Edge]

We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong
- not cops

[Alpacx]

Now I respect Contrapoints a little. I still will not watch any of her videos but that was reasonable response in the sea of shitness of breadtube.

Maybe if you ignore the "genocide" disinformation part.
