It's amazing how often these self proclaimed American history experts never actually know anything about the history of America.

It's hard to learn history through 30 second videos.

Even harder through 3 hour videos

Defending Disney on today of all days?!?

What I like about the thread Kyuuji made is that even Kyuuji writes this:

Unsurprisingly there are several advantages alongside the disadvantages:

And then dismisses all those advantages as inconsequential anyway. But still quite funny considering how anyone else would get instantly attacked for saying something like "Unsurprisingly there are several advantages alongside the disadvantages"

Anyway, Embiid is totally on a death march.

Hilariously, none of this addresses the giant elephant in the room of self-identified trans people who haven't taken hormones or made any attempt to actually transition other than brow-beating anyone who questions the 120kg hairy monster in a dress playing against a bunch of women.

Guys, this isn't an issue. There's literally no need to freak out over a total hypothetical like this. We are owned by an EU company, we have to follow EU laws on data protection. That is the end of it. Coming up with crazy hypotheticals and scaring each other for no reason doesn't help anybody. Seriously, chill out.

Is that why Europeans complain you don't follow the GDPR?

And is ResetERA still a US LLC? That means you have to follow US law, the owner doesn't matter.

They probably should be glad they're still US hosted for a US LLC, because the stuff they post isn't illegal in the US but probably would be in a number of EU states enough to get them on internet blacklists if someone cared enough to do it.

[Garfield]

If you're not familiar with the anti-trans alt right playbook, transphobes go on about trans women having biological advantages over cis women even when it's been thoroughly debunked by science and deserves no oxygen.

[Garfield]

So the thing you aren't understanding is that the push of "the trans sports issues" is entirely rooted in being part of an earlier phase of genocide.



You can say this is around number 3. We're now bordering on number 7.

[Garfield]

I'm confused, isn't the whole point of sports competitions that everyone is born differently and some people are more talented than others?
So if a person transitions, and by chance is the absolute best sport player... then good for them? They were "lucky" (don't know if I should use this term) to have a body that can make them excel in sports.

[Garfield]

All of this "physical advantage" shit never takes into account how that's literally the case in every sport ever. Basketball players are very tall, swimmers have long torsos shaped for reduced drag, offensive linemen are built like brick shithouses, etc. This line of thinking is illogical because if you take it to its natural conclusion you'd be arguing for all athletes to have the exact same build, height, and weight or else it's "not fair". Why is this suddenly a concern against trans athletes when it never was before? (apart from the extremely obvious "because transphobia and they're working backwards from that")

The tell is how they never address why women's sports were created and why allowing males into it violates its very purpose. They want you to imagine this ahistorical blank slate where we're starting sports programs from scratch in some kind of ideal world where all things are weighted by their personal fiat. They also want you to ignore that it's federal law to have separate sports and has been their entire lives. They want to undermine that not by changing the law or repealing it but by demanding everyone accept a different definition of the word "sex" because it makes a few misogynists unhappy to use an accurate one.

The last post arguing that it's taking a conclusion and working backwards from there is amusing because they often accept it as true that women's sports was created to protect men. Also their central belief is an attempt to confirm their conclusion that everything wrong with them is a mistaken gestation period in the womb that can be fixed by everyone just choosing to deny it.

[Garfield]

There are no serious studies that suggest trans athletes have a statistically significant advantage in sports, in fact they show the opposite

Resetera has learned nothing this past week and are calling it a maga attack.

Could easily be a MAGA person just trying to stir the pot.

I almost guarantee it's some MAGA scumfuck trying to make it look like a liberal did it. They've already shown how deranged and evil they are this past week.

This thread is now dead, but you'll be surprised who the police arrested:


However we already knew this is exactly according to plan as written in The Bible 2025:

Perfect fodder for Trump and FOX to continue their narrative.

Idiots.

As if its not just as likely its a Trump supporter pissed at Kimmel lmao

They're going to continue it anyway. It's literally the plan.

Yep. Almost like they're just doing everything they said they would p25.

Hey can someone help my girlfriend that I love with all my heart get some comfort between all the despair she feels all day long and get her some games that I don't want to buy her myself?  She is literally at a knife's edge and I won't buy them for her, so it'd be nice if one of you stepped up.  Thanks.

Dw pookie, I got you. I love you sooooo much. Gonna be thinking about you while I go cruising for a strangers cock tonight at the gas station. Love youuuuu

Mods must be too busy hiding threads to ban the transphobes in the Kamala Harris thread.

You can see why trans folx don’t feel safe on Era when rabid bigots like this remain unbanned:

What exactly is wrong with that quote? I don't get it, use common sense and goodwill to accomplish this without vilifying or demonizing trans youths seems like a normal statement no? Correct me if I'm wrong here

https://www.resetera.com/threads/if-resetera-had-a-massive-in-person-house-site-party-and-we-were-all-invited-what-would-you-do.1303605/

The Staff of Resetera have organized a massive House Party (for the context of this thread, Resetera the site is a real large building that you can visit and go to... Yeah just run with it and I'll give a Banana milkshake) and YOU, YES YOU IN THEIR UNDERPANTS READING THIS AND THE EVERY OTHER ERA USER HAS BEEN INVITED (Not going is an automatic permanent ban, harsh but fair... I guess)

Their will be dancing and music in the ballroom, massive in-person hangouts, a massive Murder mystery larp, massive trays of food (I'll let the mods decide what they'd pick, please include vegetarian!) and a room for people having panic attacks because of the sheer amount of people and social anxiety acting up (not judging, that's me in this scenario)!

And later on their will be a massive slumber party where we all drink hot chocolate, eat pancakes, tell horror stories and maybe even play ERA Truth or Dare before going to bed in out sleeping bags...

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

Totally not while an Evil Fey haunts us and take us out one by one nope nothing like that!

So if this (somehow in this very confusing universe I've made for this thread) happened, WHAT WOULD YOU DO!?!?!

And of course... WHAT HAPPENS!?!?

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

AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR VIOLENCE TO HAPPEN!?!?!?

And it's been locked, no reason given...which leads the creepy cunt to post in constructive asking why  

Was my "If Resetera had a massive in-person house (site) party and we were all invited, what would you do?" thread closed because of the "(Not going is an automatic permanent ban, harsh but fair... I guess)" part? Because that was clearly a joke and not meant to be serious. What was the reason for that thread being closed, it's not like silly thread aren't a thing like the Count as high as we can until mods close the thread... Uh thread.

Edit: To be clear I'm not angry or anything last night, the mods and admins can ban what they want, just a bit confused and worried I've upset people or did something wrong.

[HaughtyFrank]

Americans crying about fairness in sports will never not be funny to me,
after everything about Lance Armstrong and all the doping scandals involving US athletes over the years and how there hasn't been any full push to clean sports,
now that you can have trans athletes that they imagine would have an advantage based on jokes and vibes it's all about fairness?

Yeah, sure Jan.

I must have forgotten about the part where everyone said that it wasn't a big deal that Lance cheated and then went on to claim that it's actually genocide to not let him cheat.

The whole Harris thread is just a best of dumb arguments

FACT CHECK chuds

With the direction America is rapidly moving in, I can rest assured this site will not cooperate with the us government for their insane witch hunts even if that means ignoring the law there and hampering the ability to operate in (parts) of America? I fear more and more social media will need to choose between "bend to our fascist demands or stop operating here" and I hope this site will choose the correct choice if that ends up happening, no matter how much it would hurt the sites ability to operate.

I woukdn't operate under that assumption. The forum is owned by a company.

Absolutely not, the website is registered in America and while MOBA Network itself is originally a Swedish company they have a US branch that operates in Las Vegas and will comply with the law. Honestly, expecting any website that is hosted in the US and not on the dark web to not comply with the law is a fool's errand, and naive. Even if they wind up not complying, you should assume at all times that they will because it's by far the most likely avenue they will take.

If massive corporations like Disney are bending the knee, the smaller guys who don't have the money and power to avoid it absolutely will too.

Disney being bigger is why they're bending the knee. The staff isn't being pressured by a board of directors to protect the bottom line and guarantee year-over-year increasing profits so that Era's stock price can continue to rise. The mods aren't going to the White House to tell the president that he's amazing so they can get tax breaks and reduced scrutiny.

I don't know why you're talking about the staff as if they would have any power over the decision that Roytheone is talking about, this website is owned contractually by a corporation that would be making that kind of decision.

Guys, this isn't an issue. There's literally no need to freak out over a total hypothetical like this. We are owned by an EU company, we have to follow EU laws on data protection. That is the end of it. Coming up with crazy hypotheticals and scaring each other for no reason doesn't help anybody. Seriously, chill out.

*proceeds to hide half the threads of the website from public view*

I'll preface this by saying I have no idea what EU data laws are but I can't imagine you can simply skirt them by making posts so only members can see them.

And you found your post in it to bring it up, but okay dude.

It was literally on the first page of that thread, the 29th post. I clicked the thread, swiped down a few times and saw my bright purple highlight of a post. You're digging and ban-baiting for something that's just not there. 

You posting this like a gotcha when all you did is point out the study limitations, and it still doesn't justify any bans or reinvestigating trans women for "biologal factors" and "unfair athletic advantages" as Kamala is alluding to here by listening to transphobes.

It also doesn't justify not banning for those factors. One of the most common studies cited is the one about marathon runners, how there wasn't any advantages in that use case. People have cited that study so many times and then you click it and actually read it and see they're only talking about long-distance running and it's like what are we doing here? Sports are all over the place. 

You're not wrong that studies are often limited and uncommon, but that's true for trans athletes as a whole.

And that's the core of the issue — there aren't enough studies done on this to make blanket statements. You said in that thread there's advantages and disadvantages, which I'm gonna assume you were tryin to say it varies by sport, which is literally the most reasonable take ever. There's so many sports out there that each require specific physical traits that it's impossible to just make blanket statements on this.

Without competitive trans athletes – remember we were allowed to compete in the Olympics for 20 years, and in that time only one trans woman qualified, in weightlifting, and failed the initial se

which is why you have never seen a single trans woman medalist on the Olympics (or even qualifying for the Olympics) in the over two decades they were allowed to compete.

I seen this said a lot, how there's never been a trans Olympic medalist so what's the problem? You got a point. But you also have to understand that the % of the population that are Olympic level athletes are like… .0001% (or whatever; it's extremely small), and then you take 2 or 3% of that .0001% of potential Olympic athletes who might be trans — the odds of a trans woman medal'ing in our lifetime is incredibly slim. So yeah you're right, folks shouldn't be bitching about that, but that's not the point.

There’s no fucking studies done because if someone even hinted at potentially doing one you nutters would immediately declare it transphobic and if there was any results of it you didn’t like you’d dismiss the findings based on your feels and fuck the women.
