On the morning of the start of the trial, which was attended by Brianna Ghey's family, Cheshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service reminded everyone that the criminal proceedings against both defendants are active, and they have the right to a fair trial.

Justice Yip addressed the potential jurors before sending them to complete a questionnaire. Yip reminded all that the two defendants charged with Ghey's murder were 15 at the time.
She added: "There was quite a bit of press reporting and social media coverage at the time, one feature that was given some prominence was the fact that Brianna was transgender.

"If you did see things you may have even formed some initial uninformed views about the case.

"It is perfectly natural to feel shock when you hear of the killing of a young person."

She said people should concentrate on the evidence when they sit on a jury, not the press or social media coverage, and she noted that there were vigils and a crowdfunded for Ghey – two matters asked about on the jury questionnaire.

Both defendants also have the option of participating in the trial via a video link from their secure accommodation, a decision which Justice Yip made.

This almost sounds like they wanted to bend backwards for the killers and downplay the hate-component. But that luckily seems hard to do with how heavy the evidence seems already on the first day.

Even in what should be an open-and-shut case like this, the court has to provide as much of an area of neutrality as possible. It's our right as citizens for if we ever find ourselves rightfully or wrongfully in the defendant's chair.

It's a bitter pill to swallow at times when you feel the person doesn't deserve it, but it's there for everyone's protection and to let the facts of the evidence do the talking.

I however, am not in that courtroom, so I will say I hope they get what they deserve.

I dunno, does the wider public even care enough to invoke impartiality and cooled emotions like this? Especially compared to if the victim was cis?
Those statements almost sounded like they had to bite their tongues not to start waxing about the super powerful trans-movement/lobby/cabal who holds public opinion with their allmighty stranglehold.

Yeah Nep must be on break for reals, I think she's probably the most antisemitic mod. Dude was unbanned and has the patience of saint responding to all the bullshit in the Hamas fan club thread.

Maybe I'm naive, but a lot of them are okay. I think it's just a few that are causing issues.

Think the biggest issues are the shadow mods like kyuuji, the activist mods like nepenthe, bubblegum, aliceamber etc, and the outright retarded mods like slayven. There are some normal ones on there but they’re so vastly outnumbered it’s really not savable imo

best part of those posts:

Agreed. I don't think there's much point in reversing the ban. Nothing about the passage of time in this case has served to cancel out the pain and anger that the circumstances around the game caused.

era's trauma surrounding the game is literally just the black chamber debacle, burned them so bad they can't even talk about it

This is the first time we're seeing any of this. The mod in question isn't online right now but we've removed him from duty while we look into it. Due to time zones it's going to take a while to figure out what's going on.

To quickly clarify one thing about any Discord as an "extension of Era", that's just not the case. As far as we know that Discord isn't even run by a staff member.

Joanne has blood smeared across her hands of Brianna and every other trans murder. Just venting at how sickening this is and how much I despise her and what she is doing to the UK and the world wide trans community. I'm just in distraught from this.

Bob Iger talked about why the sequel to Captain Marvel failed to become a success at the box office, considering the first installment earned over $1 billion when it was released in 2019: "The Marvels was shot during Covid, and there wasn't enough supervision on set [from executives."

[HaughtyFrank]

Yeah, this is what's sticking out for me the most. It's a really shitty way thing to say especially in light of chuds online targeting Disney movies with diverse casts — which is being interpreted as a message or "forced" casting. they're just giving racist shitheads a win, and they still won't watch any of the movies.

Weird how they're mad at chuds for thinking diverse casting is "a message" but at the same time are drooling anytime a historically white character gets turned black. Sounds like a message to me.

Seriously, I haven't actually seen anyone mad at "Wish" for staring a black princess. Completely different compared to Little Mermaid, wonder why that is.

I'm sorry, but this channel sucks, it's a neoliberal propaganda outlet funded by a bunch of tech bro freaks who are literally in a cybergod doomsday cult. ("Effective altruists") First they tell us not to worry about climate change because magical tech advances will solve it, now they're both-sidesing hate speech as people getting too divisive and polarized. They're bad and not worth paying attention to.

[NekoFever]

Remember, Kyuuji and co. scrolled through Black Chamber's Twitter, saw only one tweet of his mentioning Trump, and because the tweet wasn't him praying for Trump's death, used that as the basis to claim BC was a Trumper infiltrator trying to destroy ERA from the inside. Of course, the mods bought the rather convenient lie completely and perm banned BC to try to save face

And what drove Kyuuji and co. to do this? BC was the original person assigned to do the CP 2077 OT, and they wanted to take over creating the OT from BC since he didn't prostrate himself to TransERA enough to their satisfaction.

That entire time period on ERA was rather surreal looking back on it. Just complete and total community chaos and psychosis driven by one vain, attention hungry person (Kyuuji) exploiting the fact that the ERA mods were pushovers. And let's not forget she new game+'d CP 2077 in the end and was quite active in the CP 2077 OT for the first few weeks after the game released

IIRC the tweet was him arguing with a Trumper, making a sarcastic reference to putting on his MAGA cap, and the Tranish Inquisition just went, “See? He’s got a MAGA hat!”

And it is now Era goodthink that he was a Nazi infiltrator, either because people are scared to disagree or equally incapable of understanding subtext.

[HaughtyFrank]

ncredible that disney's water-down, easy to censor and excise for other markets, displays of progressivism is somehow TOO MUCH for him. in the era of trump, desantis and florida, anti-trans laws, etc etc and this guy is going to thickly hint that their largely milquetoast attempts at inclusivity were too much?

more capitulation to stochastic threats from the far right

Iger probably has a point, some cast members and writers were quite inexperienced.

Most succesful movies/TV shows shot during the pandemic do have in common that seasoned actors and directors made them (Mission Impossible, Fast X, etc.).

If anything, most people are mad about the shitty main villain and that they tried the seven hipsters shit first there (and completely backfired).

[Boredfrom]

Being honest, is also clear to me Bob Iger doesn’t care either way, but he wants to protect his “legacy” after being heralded the Hollywood messiah before Marvel’s meltdown.

Is also funny how some progressive critics have tried to say that there is an active harassment campaign against the Marvels’ director and that she is blamed, but I have seen more people blaming Feige, Iger or Larson.

[Boredfrom]

Ignoring some of the problematic aspects of their older movies...

Beauty and the Beast: Don't judge people by their appearances.
Aladdin: Be yourself. Lying only causes more problems.
Lion King: Stay strong in the face of adversity. Running away doesn't solve your problems.
Pocahontas: We're all one people and need to be treated as equals with respect.
Hunchback: Don't judge people by their appearances. Also fuck the church.
Hercules: You can forge your own destiny and don't need to stoop to low levels to get there.
Tarzan: You may think you know everything, but we can all learn from eachother. Also animal rights.
Emperor's New Groove: Wealth doesn't make you happy. Human connections are where it's at.
Atlantis: Greed corrupts.
Loli & Stitch: Ohama means family. Family means nobody gets left behind.

SORRY THERE BOBBO I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN "WOKE"

Guys, this are not complex moral messages or political statements.

Blaming Larson is just panic from within the Disney fan bubble who believe the false narrative that she is disliked or bad at acting.

She's probably going to win a number of awards this year for other work she did and she did a last minute PR tour for the Marvels after Disney tried to keep her away from the press for months. The best way to judge Hollywood talent is to listen to what their co-stars have to say and how many 'fun' projects they get. Sam Jackson, Vin Diesel and others all like working with her and that tells you everything you need to know.

Feige is having the same problem Lucas had doing the Star Wars prequels. You can be a visonary but you still need good directors and writers to make it work.
Taika said the other day the only reason he's doing the Marvel films is the money (and it shows). There's only so much a 'visionary' can do to make up for cheap CG, worse actors, inexperienced writers and cheaper directors or directors doing it for the money.

[Boredfrom]

Woah, that is kind of surprising coming from you.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Nintex is, as always, correct. Brie was in Fast X. The familia only hires the best.

The problem is these Marvel babies would rather watch FAKE inclusive movies that throw little sprinkles of pandering to hype up their manchildren audience instead of actual diverse films.

And which film series actually spans across the whole world and brings all races together? Only one answer.

This was always what was going to happen and the cheers and high fives and "marketability concerns" we've seen here and everywhere else regarding The Marvels help it happen.

That is a really gross conclusion lol.

It's the conclusion we knew was coming while the internet cheered and had post after post celebrating the failure of The Marvels, or the original reaction to Elemental,or when any diverse hero was dismissed as an uninteresting loser from the get go, or when Halle Berry's Little Mermaid underpeformance was celebrated because it would somehow mean the end of remakes (despite it having a very clear race based hate campaign) or when trades took potshots at Nia DaCosta for saying she liked Advent Children or attending her birthday while Riddley Scott is based for insulting historians.

I know you can't blame audiences or the internet for the problems Disney has had on it's pipeline and it's poor quality control. But the internet DID ask for this, even here on ERA. It was loud and clear and told them this was the easy, safe solution that would bring them back.

And an idiot like Iger decided to listen.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Misgendering

If Valve does nothing, then why are you selling there? Might as well do all the work and sell games on your website if you're already doing everything yourself anyway.

he hasn't released a game yet so idk why he's talking about 30% being too much. there's also the option to just sell in multiple places, like itch or also egs.
my friend hates steam but he's releasing his game (that he's been working on for like 4-5 years now) on steam. the difference being that he's never gonna discount it on steam, while on itch it's pay what you want. he saw the solution to his problem and people are ok with it!there are other options, it's just the popular option is the one that will cost you more. independent game development is hard as hell but you can't expect the distributor to be the one that will bail you out when they provide you with a lot (game distribution, api access, forums, a community page, cloud saves, etc.).
