Notice how there's like 10 trans people on the mod team and not a single Indian guy who could have shined a light on the india situation

Like anyone at Reeeeesetera gives a shit about brown people outside of using them as a cudgel in the culture war. No wonder all these poc are voting Trump

So you aren’t allowed to ignore people that harass other people on a daily fucking basis? Then maybe get rid of the ignore feature you fucking harassing asshole mods!

I wonder if B-Dubs is hoping to find a way to publicly “cancel” these mods? Who the fuck am I kidding? They probably already have enough dirt on him to “cancel” his ass.

[benji]

I think my favorite part is how they can't articulate what they want done other than more of what has failed. They've had two games banned, an entire media franchise outlawed, an endless number of topics declared verboten, multiple news sources attacked as complicit, a sticky declaring the existence of a genocide, an undeclared power to ban essentially anyone they wish, etc. but things are worse now than ever apparently! They've become the Office of National Drug Control Policy but for a "video game" forum.

Ree doesn't care.  Trolls showed proof of B-Dumbs behavior during his time in GAF that was sexist, racist, transphobic and pedo posts.  Ree forgave them and told him trolls were trying to get him cancelled.  He made an apology thread about it.

They're essentially sovereign citizens but they're different because they are a hated minority with rules that people just don't seem to understand all the while they just want to live their life and want supporters to arm themselves in support and if you're not with us vocally, you're against us. Hmm. Should probably call the fbi.

[Tucker's Law]

As more of the general population at large wakes up to how fucking deranged and destructive these mentally deranged lunatics have become, the tran-ees at Resetera are going to become more unhinged and combative, destroying any chance whatsoever of meaningful conversation anywhere at that site.

And yes, I said tran-ees!  I'm bringing it back for these retards, because they and all those other outspoken crazy radical trans activists will get lumped in together with the rare people who have genuine gender dysmorphia (and are truly trans), making the world overall a much worse place for them specifically.

TransERA have more power than any other group by far on ERA and yet they claim ERA is drifting rightward?

Some comedy for you guys.

The thread title is "Alabama band director tased by police for not stopping his students' performance" but the real headline should be 'Cops tase band director who was given multiple warnings not to be a dumbass'

https://www.resetera.com/threads/alabama-band-director-tased-by-police-for-not-stopping-his-students-performance.766448/

This brings the very predictable 'ACAB' and 'of course the victim is black' responses...
















Only one problem with these replies. It was black cops tasing the black dude  

These idiots are so unreasonably blinded by hatred for the police, and see racism even when there is no racism, that they won't even spend a minute to watch a video posted in that same thread which shows the encounter from beginning to end:



Here's a summary:

1: The game had ended 18 minutes prior to the start of the video.
2: Cops ask the dumbass multiple times between 2:05 to 3:35 to end the song.
3: For whatever reason, rather than de-escalating, band director instead shouts 'Get Out Of My Face' 7+ times to the cops, and then starts jumping up and down and playing music even louder
4: Band director suddenly gets very surprised when his ass is tased.

I'm no fan of cops, but this is literally a situation that could have been resolved peacefully by saying 'Give me a minute to finish the song' instead of being a moron shouting 'Get out of my face' repeatedly.

What you're seeing here is called a race traitor. There's lots of people out there willing to be the black face of capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy rather than a Lucio. They may have been influenced to turn on their people and become police by the corrupt YouTube algorithm.

I imagine that nobody has pointed out that calling black cops "monkeys" is a little racist because it'll make the mods think they're not an ally. Insanity. Insanity.

Um, didn't Dolly Parton (Mistress of the Grand Dragon) used to have a Medieval Times like restaurant/show about the North vs the South that she changed in 2018?

https://dpstampede.com/

Like, ok, she changed it after Charlottesville but, uh.  Well, like.  I mean.






Like Seriously?

[benji]

Dolly Parton is coming out with a new album, and because she's an LGBTQ+ ally, we should all be excited about Dolly’s latest music, right? After all, it includes songs with a verifiable who’s who of rock legends and other LGBTQ+ allies, including Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Lizzo, and Debbie Harry, and queer artists Melissa Etheridge, Miley Cyrus, and Elton John.

Then, for whatever reason, all those great sounds are getting drowned out with the inclusion of the inflammatory homophobe and transphobe that is Kid Rock.

...

From all the rock and rollers she could have chosen, why, oh why, Dolly, did you throw us under the bus and choose him? You are a legend, an icon, a global superstar. You are also not naive.

Kid Rock’s latest hateful and downright dangerous stunt was videoing himself shooting up Bud Light beer cans with a rifle, protesting Anheuser-Busch’s decision to send trans activist Dylan Mulvaney personalized Bud Light cans in celebration of her one-year anniversary of her transition. How did that simple gesture hurt him? Yet he soaked up all the glory.

It wasn’t Kid Rock who was the victim with the Bud Light imbroglio, it was Dylan Mulvaney. I took it upon myself to send my commentary to reporters who smothered all over Kid Rock, reminding them that Anheuser-Busch didn’t call out his hate as wrong and that the beer maker left Mulvaney twisting in the wind. Thankfully, most of them updated their stories.

The media eventually saw the truth, but not until Kid Rock’s video spread all over social media, only sparking more hate for the transgender community at a time when trans adults and youth desperately need all the love they can get.

Parton is all about love, which is why her decision to pair up with Kid Rock is all the more baffling and insulting. Granted, many of her country music fans are littered among all the red states that are passing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation as if they were all competing against each other; however, there is a whole slew of artists she could have chosen who would have satisfied the red state haters without selecting a hater who only emboldens the hate.

FUCK THIS BITCH

I WILL SAY IT AS MANY TIMES AS IT NEEDS TO BE SAID

I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS TO READ MY OWN POSTS YOU KNOW

IF SOMEONE ELSE COMES IN HERE TALKING ABOUT HOW AWESOME THIS TRANSPHOBE IS I'M GOING TO LOSE IT

ALL THE DISMISSAL OF TRANS VOICES, INSISTENCE THAT THIS PLACE ISN'T CRAWLING RIGHT OR THAT IT'S TREATMENT OF TRANSGENDER PPL ISN'T AT AN ALL TIME LOW

[kaleidoscopium]

I like how it can't be that people either had Melody on ignore already for being annoying or are actively ignoring them for being annoying in that post, it had to be TRANSPHOBIA that lead to people ignoring their posts lol

It wouldn’t surprise me if the allegations were true. However, I do think this is a pretty clear-cut case of what happens when you “poke the bear” too much.

Amazing to me how liberalism (the actual Left) has been hung out as 'centrism' or even 'right wing' in that lunatic asylum.

Their hatred of liberty and individual freedom would put the Westboro Baptist Church to shame.

Aside from talking out of the side of their mouths about being anti-capitalist and acab, and being all *helen_lovejoy.jpg* Won't someone think of the minorities! they're essentially a dystopian nightmare of ultra-authoritarian thought policing, enforced conformity, puritanical moral codes, public lashing, scarlet-lettering, disconnection/fair game and book-burning(figuratively).

If it wasn't that dipshit Musk pushing neural-link, they'd be creaming themselves over it, and the possibility of brain chipping everyone to finally prevent wrong-think at the source.

[Megamandrn001]

I just registered here because after leaving Twitter I've felt somewhat homeless on the internet. Forums like this used to be how people talked and discussed, but it seems like all of that imploded and I suck at finding new places to frequent (especially since it relies on like... finding hidden discord channels or something. I'm old).

Anyway, one of the places I always lurked was Resetera, but I was never a member. I really didn't feel the need, but also it was clear that even if I did register, I would get banned probably inside of a month. I have never been a fan of places that are obsessed with civility, and I am even less a fan of places that enforce selective civility. Nothing wrong with hearing or giving someone a good old "fuck you" as far as I' m concerned when it's warranted. I used to prefer, in literal decades past, places like 4chan, but that place now is an actual incel Nazi cesspit, and literally incapable of discussing anything. They know their porn though, I'll give them that.

I used to just read the videogame side, but I started going over to the other side as well, since a lot of news broke there. I like aggregations I can skin at a glance. Over the last few years I've gone through a significant political journey however, and learned a lot as I rocketed leftward. And god damn do the Neolibs over there make my blood pressure spike. I probably wouldn't get along with a lot of you either, but unlike people over there, I'm not really upset when someone isn't on my exact point on the left side of the political spectrum. I have pretty extreme views, but I know I'm weird. Let other people be normal.

I'm not sure about this forum yet. I'm seeing some stuff I like, some stuff I disagree with, but that can all be hashed out later as I lurk more and get the vibe. What's important is that I can complain about the stuff I see on RE that pisses me off. In fact, I found this forum searching Google about someone who pissed me off that you guys know well: Hachikoma. I searched this thread and didn't see this RE thread mentioned: 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/had-to-purge-my-youtube-subs-after-some-of-the-creators-revealed-some-right-wing-leanings.695359/post-110286445

This thread is where I learned about them. In a thread about Youtubers who had right wing leanings and suggestions for good media to watch instead (something I was actually interested in), half the thread devolved into whining over Hasan Piker of all people, quite possibly (to me at least) the best leftist voice to listen to on  Youtube (or Twitch. Whatever, you know what I mean).

Why? Well, he's anti-trans you see. He's anti-trans because he said that boycotting the HP game wouldn't work, and instead what he wanted to do was stream it while having trans people on as guests, and donate all the money from that stream to pro-trans causes. This was an affront to the entire trans community, who told him, as a single unit acting as one monolith according to Hachikoma, that it was a terrible idea and boycotting the game was far more important and effective.
Of course it wasn't, it went on to be one of the best selling games of the year, absolutely nobody gave a single squirting fuck about the boycott and Hasan was 100% right, but he disagreed with the Grand Trans Council, so he's out. Hachikoma deals with... laws? I guess? So she's obivously the best choice for community monolith arbiter.

And she might be right! After all, look at this clip of Hasan screaming at a trans chatter sassing him! What's that? Hasan yelled at that chatter for them trolling him poorly about not being as good on trans issues as Vaush, a stance Hachikoma agreed with by the way, didn't know the chatter was trans, and that chatter also sent Hasan a gift afterward and made up? Irrelevant. He yelled once you see. After all, Hachikoma knew the chatter was trans by the way they constructed their sentence:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/had-to-purge-my-youtube-subs-after-some-of-the-creators-revealed-some-right-wing-leanings.695359/post-110281210

i assumed the banned person was trans purely based on the message the streamer banned them for - i've never seen a cis person stick up for us with gentle confidence like that.

(The "gentle confidence" was, again, that chatter joking that Vaush was better on trans issues).

What's that? Hasan has one of the largest trans viewerships on Twitch, and every single bit of footage I've seen over the last 6 months has him being incredibly pro trans? I'm sorry, you say that youtube comments on his videos have tons of trans people saying "Thank you for your stance on this, it means a lot?". Well, those are the wrong kinds of trans people obviously:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/had-to-purge-my-youtube-subs-after-some-of-the-creators-revealed-some-right-wing-leanings.695359/post-110279608

I'm glad that there's trans people that feel safe & welcome in his community, I'd never tell them they're wrong for that. I just wish they won't take everything he says as gospel & much rather use his opinions as a starting point to form their own.

Not Hachikoma there, but someone equally unhinged. Clearly, you're not complete in your trans journey if you still like Hasan.
Hasan is the single largest donator to the Amazon Strike Fund, but he's a grifter, unlike Hachikoma who works with trans orgs and has worked on trans legislation, none of which matter or get passed or have helped at all, also she got fired, but never mind that. Why isn't she important, It should be HER getting all the attention instead of some guy streamer!
I'm pro trans people and trans rights. Three of my best friends are trans people and I love them dearly. I'm firmly anti this lunatic however, and an increasingly large chunk of Resetera as well.
Special shout out to poster Hodgy, who wins my award for Most Consistently Wrong, Ill-Informed Poster on The Whole Dang Site. I don't think I've ever seen a post from him that wasn't confidently stated, easily proved wrong whitewashed lib nonsense and I'm shocked he's not mentioned more in this thread:

Your mistake is believing their internet bullshit that trooning out has anything to do with being left wing

they're (mostly) middle class boojlord whiteboys and richkid minority failsons. Each and every single one of them would suck off the first tory in the queue if they threw a bit of red meat at nonsense troonery.

Wonderful to see that even your average lurker at Resetera is ready to seize the means of conversation back from the mary whitehouse brigade. Trooning out gives them 2 things.

1. Sex acts with forum perverts online
2. The power to ban their enemies to smithereens

It has absolutely squarely fuck all to do with women or being a woman. Case in point Melody Shreds, a self declared mentally ill nonsense who looks like punished Meatloaf and lives in a dystopian teenage bedroom from a cut scene in American Pie

Not up on my lingo there, sorry.

Speaking of, did anyone see that thread that MelodyShreds posted where she said she was going to kill herself because a mod was being a dick to her? No mod ever came out and apologized.

Also, this thread has been enlightening. I've lurked since the GAF days but I had no idea about any mod drama, i.e. with the sales threads and such.

It started as a Gaf expat forum then it was a Gaf/Restera expat forum now it's a Gaf/Resetera expat expat forum.

Hope that clears things up/confuses things further
