And not a single new Black person added to the roster as we approach the 4th anniversary of the last one we got (Sojourn, April 2022), shocker. Between that, Lucio looking a bit white-washed in his new collab skin, & Doomfist seemingly being killed off (not really, but still)........Happy Black History Month, I guess.

The Switch 2 port is nice, though.

What do they expect from a Microsoft product where every dollar goes to Israel for genocide?

It's a shame they didn't announce a release date for that new horizon game. The Steam CCU thread for that game is going to be hilarious

  User Banned (Permanently): Antisemitic Rhetoric

I don't think people (outside of maybe those who work in US intelligence) understand who actually wears the pants in the US-Israel relationship.

Politicians in the West are scared shitless of Israel. That's the way it's been for decades and for good reason. They can easily have their political careers destroyed by scandal (manufactured or otherwise) / blackmail / manipulation of public opinion. Or taken down by any means necessary up to and including assassination if they're seen as enough of a threat to Israeli interests. Zionist claws are deeeep in everything: banking, finance, media, tech, business, entertainment, intelligence and counter intelligence.

That's why red or blue, Genocide Joe or the Mad King doesn't matter. All beholden to the same masters. No exceptions ever. If you haven't noticed that pattern over the past several decades, watch for it in the future. There never has been nor will there ever be a US administration that isn't staunchly "pro Israel" even against US national interests.

Not always necessarily because they believe in it or benefit from it (many do) but because they're scared shitless. Any politician who opposes them stays marginalized, never reaches any heights of power where they can pose any threat to the status quo. If they do reach those heights of power best believe they were only allowed to get there after the leash / noose was tightly secured.

Well, is good he is not a usual user (like the ones that took his post at face value) because it would be embarrassing for ERA and would not get banned. 

Is not alarming that a lot of old ass users from Gaf days just take anti semitism seriously.

I feel bad that Biden's refusal to admit he was too old really cost her, but I would not be excited to vote for her again...

you don't reckon it was all the genocide she was refusing to denounce?

Thankfully that's all a thing of the past now that the Trump administration is back in control.

/s

you're so right bestie, maybe one day democrats might, maybe, possibly, make the smallest attempt to stand up for human rights even the tiniest bit. blue no matter who! even if "who" actively supports a genocide!

And the people not feeling comfortable with voting for the lesser of two evils and sat down last election should know everything that's happened so far, it's on their hands also.

what a brave, principled take, Mrs. Pelosi. i'm sure the children dying under rubble would wag their fingers knowing some mean ol' Americans wouldn't vote for the genocide lady.

can't we just be grown up about this and ask for something better? isn't that the point of representative democracy? or is it a kink for libs to have their rights held up at gunpoint every 2 years? y'all are mad at the wrong people. be mad at the party that ratfucked Bernie in 2020, ran an immensely unpopular politician, and when it came time to ditch him, picked someone less popular who wouldn't even ATTEMPT to separate herself from his dogshit politics.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kamala-harriss-campaign-social-media-rebooted-announces-online-organizing-effort.1426102/page-4#post-150924928

Bernie having piss poor political instincts and not doing shit to court the Black vote is not the definition of rat fucking.

this is simply ahistorical. i recall chris matthews pissing himself on MSNBC because the scary socialist was picking up momentum. then suddenly everyone but Biden and Bernie drop, and they all get cabinet appointments. that's the definition of a ratfuck.

If you're going to demand better demand better of everyone. Don't have carveouts for your own preferred brand of bad.

girl, i'm not the one white knighting Kamala Harris with my morning coffee.

Thank you for proving my point, that whenever non voters Americans get called out they get defensive and don't want to take accountability. Yes, I said what I said.

who said I didn't vote? I didn't vote for Kamala.

my mistake. white knighting for the democratic party with your morning coffee*

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kamala-harriss-campaign-social-media-rebooted-announces-online-organizing-effort.1426102/page-5#post-150925216

Considering Bernie was running for the Democratic nomination, that's literally what you were doing.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kamala-harriss-campaign-social-media-rebooted-announces-online-organizing-effort.1426102/page-5#post-150925381

If I may ask, are you in a state that Harris won anyway (I'm not asking you to say which one if you don't want to)?

it would not make a difference. I know casual Islamophobia is the order of the day for most Americans, but I got baby nieces that attend mosque. I made up my mind not to vote for Biden over his wanton disregard for Muslim lives. When Kamala stepped up, I gave her plenty of time to separate herself from Biden's stance. She refused. I think it's a pretty reasonable line to have.

Her new member post has been deleted because it was the latest one. 

Edit: The post before hers was an alt account and that's gone too, but they left the one higher up on the page.

Finished my 3rd game of this year this week, Forspoken. I gotta be honest... it's hard for me to see the mixed reviews and think it's anything other than misogyny and racism because I bet if the protag was a generic bland white guy it woulda done numbers.

 

Nothing about how generic and bland the gameplay, setting, story and mechanics were?

And it wasn't even bland.  It just looked like like three other games that came out at the same time.  It became a "-like" game.  As in a Souls-like, or a COD-like.

Costello divides incels into two personality types. The first is Psychosocial Vulnerability Trajectory. This is a guy with a high likelihood of autism and a history of being bullied.

Didn't an abusive, mystogenist, who imprisoned girls with contracts to live with him and give them a paltry allowance make that company?

Paramount+ is Nazi but Hef gets a pass now?

No, no, see, if something is sex work related it instantly becomes empowering and feminist. Especially the part where men (or "lesbians") support it.

He might not personally represent it. But the flag does. His participation does.
(it is just me, or do they refuse to use the reference the actual killing of people, just vague "the stuff that is going on...")

Even if the flag was removed, everyone still knows the regimes they are competing on behalf of. Hard to get rid of the connection. Same with the whole Russia participation in recent years.
Might not be fair, but the Olympics have always been presented as countries sending athletes. Not just athletes competing for themselves (even though they obviously are doing that too).

https://www.resetera.com/threads/because-the-us-media-didnt-have-the-guts-to-show-it-with-actual-audio-here-is-the-canadian-coverage-of-the-winter-olympics-team-usa-entrance.1428673/#post-151006672

Entire countries are economically and politically sanctioned, and even boycotted, over the actions of their leaders. Compared to that, athletes being booed for representing a pariah state is a minimal consequence.

South African athletes were banned during apartheid, and Russian athletes have been barred from competing under their flag across numerous sports. Americans being booed at the Olympics isn't going far enough.

I don't get the whole "It's Steve-O, what'd you expect posts". I mean he's been an idiot, but that alone doesn't mean he'd automatically believe this stuff. Unless he's talked politics before and I just wasn't aware

For me its the fact that he grew up a rich white kid who was raised in south america and england

Theres built in class stuff he always tried to hide

[benji]

For a guy who immigrated into the US from Venezuela as a child, and has a very public history with drug abuse, it's pretty wild to see him ranting about immigrants trafficking drugs. Bro that was you.

Stephen Gilchrist Glover was born on June 13, 1974,[1][2] in London,[2] to Donna Gay Glover (née Wauthier; 1947–2003), a Canadian, and Richard Edward "Ted" Glover (born 1943), an American business executive.[3][4] He is of English ancestry on his father's side. He has one older sister, Cindy.[5]

When he was six months old, the family moved to Brazil, where his father worked as president of Pepsi-Cola's South American division.[6] Glover later recalled that his first words were spoken in Portuguese, and that the family's frequent relocations disrupted his early schooling.[7] They subsequently lived in Venezuela, where he learned Spanish.[8]

By age four, the family had returned to the United States, settling in Darien, Connecticut,[9] and later moving to Miami, Florida. At age nine, the family relocated to London, then to Toronto when he was twelve, and back to London again the following year. He attended the American School in London.[8]

And lmao at saying personal drug abuse = trafficking drugs. These dudes don't even have a mask to go mask off with.

the fact that a guy who is literally only famous for being brain damaged from doing stupid shit for a living even has a platform to share his views on anything is a big part of why things are irreparably fucked up.

All while proudly marching with a transphobe and multiple members who think Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Hold that shit up high indeed.

I don't know who you're speaking of specifically but respectfully what does that change? Some of them are shit people? As if that's unique to them as Americans?

Alpha Flight assemble.

[benji]

Fuck no. Team USA should be booed out of the building and egged too ideally.

Multiple MAGA members on the team and they proudly brought at least one transphobe too.

Boo them into the ground.

Not to mention USA hockey getting massively transphobic less than a week ago.

The flag they are marching under represents facism, oppression, a country that wants to annex mine, transphobia from both athletes and the organizations that flag represents who are marching under it literally less than 24 hours ago, and athletes who are "so proud" to be honored by Trump. And there's more shit there that I don't have hours to pull up.

And who cares if it's unique to Americans or not? The topic is about the team USA and them specifically being booed, and they deserve it.

[benji]

Is this permission to boo, at the very least, all Muslims countries and China?

Im certainly glad Doomfist is getting phased out. We need less black folks known for punching his enemies (many of them women and womyn) with a cybernetic fist even?!?!

Games in the second half of December would still be eligible for the following year.

Gotta love how they have to dance around it because if not it'll be an instant month+ vacation.

The mods and their clique of mentally ill forum activists ran most of the userbase out of the forum. That's why threads are much smaller on era nowadays. NPD threads, game show threads, game tournament threads, etc used to be way way bigger.

The sonypony mods on gaming side cleared that place out of any dissenting voices. 

I imagine whatever ad revenue era's masters make nowadays must be a tiny fraction of what it was pre-2020

Reee has become a look and read only forum, These days I only really post in film threads occasionally, gaming side is trash filled with virtue signaling simpletons who are scared to share their real thoughts on games lest they get dogpiled and banned. Occasionally they'll attempt to challenge the mods before getting beaten back into line.

The janitor mods and their acolytes created a culture of snitches , tattletales and secret discords where they can decide who has wrong thought and therefore can be banished. Its telling that after the purges they now have no option than to turn on one another with even more insane purity tests. They're finally running out of shadows to chase.

Remember back on Gaf when NDP was always without fail a hilarious Thursday night with raging fanboys, actual clever gifs and twitter posts and would go on for 60+ pages look at the state of that thread now barely 3 pages if that. 

PCera mostly gone, Xbots pushed into their own thread or off on Xboxera and any Xbox thread made outside of that gets overun by Sony weirdos including a few mods, the hardcore Nintoddlers off on their own forums, PoliEra, got burned to the ground, AsianEra, Muslim Era, most of them left. How many people have these lot chased off? 

Only thing safe on there are ugly men calling themselves 'women' and their cucked supporters who have taken the forum hostage for the last few years. Or disturbing weirdos like Cyborgoftheechoes on internet day release from his rubber room.

I know that there is a strong, rightful sentiment around the US' collective responsibility for the situation we're in. I am also aware that no matter what I do, no matter how decent I act, no matter what I accomplish, that people will look down on me for being an American based on the actions of our Government, past and future.

 

This kind of thinking is such a pathetic form of self flagellation that still surprises me that ERA allows it or CanuckERA don’t call out (even if they are into it).

You fuckers are not helping anybody with this shit, in fact is the kind of stuff that Magatards laugh about (not being better).
