Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 2)

[PogiJones]

I can't believe I wasted my best post on a thread about other forums. It's like writing a five-star review for the trash can.

I don't say this to gloat. I truly, truly don't.

But it's shocking to me that we are in such perilous times, that non-Black folks are starting to finally see what Black folks have been seeing, and saying, and critiquing for the last damn decade.

If some of you really want further insight into this, I implore you: observe Black spaces. Take a peek at Black Threads, Black BlueSky, and see how Black folks are talking about this. About white leftism.

What you won't see a whole lot of is surprise.

Honestly, it's actually fucking frustrating.

Listen to us for once in your goddamn lives.

I wonder where Jews fit into this equation.

You have a mod that goes into black supremacist rants every weekend and he wants to pretend having any sort of moral high ground.

So the reason he won't just say whatever it is is because it's blatantly stupid, right? Or because it'd upset the forum because it'd be something like "support Biden/Harris and shut up about genocide"?

He's likely still flapping his gums about Bernie. He and many of the BCT notables were "for Hillary" and were hostile to Sanders from the jump. 

Any gaffe is going to inspire a victory lap from Royalan, Nepenthe, Punkass of a Bitch, etc. They stay winning, you see.

How many of those 1200 were actually employed? Like, paid on anything other than a, "we'll give you free games for your labour" basis? 

I'd also like to see their definition of "major outlets".

More importantly, how many are Nazis like Gene Park?

[HardcoreRetro]

How is the Nazi tattoo supposed to bad if about 6 million jews decided to get them?

They don't like each other at all, but they were still fine with the tattoo.

[jooseloose]

There's always a palpable bitterness that comes from RE whenever the topic of zoomers is the premise of the thread.

Less perma-horny hentai creeps in the world is a bad thing to them.

[Besticus Maximus]

1200 gone, but how many were good people?

This is not someone with a regrettable Harry Potter tattoo. I'm sure there are tons of people who got those prior to Rowling losing her mind.
It's a Nazi tattoo. In 2025, when it is more relevant than it has been in many decades. If he truly regrets it i feel for him, but he can regret that from another career.

[Averon]

Of course Reee would think Harry Potter is comparable to Nazism

I find his posts like this really creepy.

I been tellin' ya'll white folk, but ya'll are just too damn racist to listen to us, the Magical Negroes who know everything about everything and have all the answers.

Excuuuuuuuse me for not taking advice from the guy that thinks secretly recording neighbours abusive argument and uploading them to the web to laugh at is the height of comedy.

[remy]

The responses in the "teens dont like sex in movies" thread icked me out so bad

[kaleidoscopium]

really disappointing, was silence not an option? fake friends everywhere.

Sadly, streamers don't consider silence an option most of times

They know they follow Hassan right? The guy who can’t stop commentating out of his ass that he was convinced ARMA 3, a video game, was actual footage of Israel Palestine, right?

It should also bring into question the character of the CEO of the game's developer too: whether or not he understands or cares that in having him on the team at Straight4 Studios, has effectively made it a Nazi Bar.

“Nazi” and “fascist” really mean “guy who thinks differently than us” to them, more and more everyday.

Saw that Taylor is being criticized for defending twitch after the assault involving Emiru, she posted a statement on twitter
<insert Taylor Lorenz being a tylenol person on Twitter>

1. Why is this posted on the Hasan thread? Nothing about this post or the Emiru thing actually has anything to do with Hasan.
2. Is "defending twitch after the assault" deserving of anything other than criticism, particularly on Era?

Absolutely baffling how these gaming news websites don’t keep large staffs and make money.

Baffling.

"What do you mean writing articles about personal grudges somehow didn't attract an audience?"



Games journalists going on a crusade against their only audience will never not be funny

TheGamer were also leaders in the Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk BS too. Lots of T's worked there too. No wonder era loved them.

all the information you'd ever want to know about games tends to come from other players, real people, steam reviews, steam forums, reddit

journos have this shitty relationship with devs where there is kind of an incentive/schmoozing thing going on so you can't really trust them, and if they DON'T have a backroom deal then they're just like any random schmuck online, why should I trust their opinion more

the only thing game journalism ever had to sell was in the 90s when you couldn't afford every game but they could, and they reviewed them in magazines, now you can find 5000 reviews for even the shittiest no-name games so what's the point
