Being alone and somehow more sad and self-hating than usual for the holidays, is getting them all riled up methinks. Thank you jesus, also normal people who like themselves

Reminds me of reactions to two particular games on Gaming Side whenever issues were brought up there too.

There's TWO now?!?!

Kyuuji thinking it's a huge win that 4 (four) years ago she made a handful of posts about South Park?

[Averon]

It'll never happen because B-Dubs is a pussy-whipped bitch, but he needs to put his foot down and reign in on TransERA. It's ridiculous how this one tiny subset of community on ERA is constantly dictating what can or can't be discussed there for everyone. And if this small group don't get their way, they constantly derail threads and demand users pay attention to them.

Of course, these are the same mods that perma ban people for calling out suicide baiting from TransERA, so there's no hope B-Dubs won't eventually bend and ban South Park.

Thread already off to a fun start

Temp locking this to review reports.

Oh, the guillotine is being sharpened. But I’m sure all the bans will go through the three mod rule, and posts explicitly breaking rules on calling for content to be banned will not be ignored.

[Daffy Duck]

I just watched it, zero mention of anything transphobic in the special, but that won’t stop them making it about them and all the historic stuff.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Racism

A thread about this song with people on Era not understanding the lyrics or context and delivering hot takes is pretty much a yearly tradition

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive Concerns of Trans Erasure; Concern Trolling

The game and the creators are far away from that crap and have probably the best representation in a major game this year. But it is associated with the vile witch, so that is completely warranted.

The terminology used for this game here seems to always attack the creators and developers of the game not the actual issues the author is a part of and to me that sucks. The game even attempted and did a good job at representation.

I get that the game is associated with her and she sucks, but Terf Simulator? It's like making a mockery of the whole thing. I feel for the devs and people that worked hard to make the game inclusive and try to separate from.the author.

It would be cool if the game was not allowed to be discussed at all or if it was a real post about why the issues exist be stickied in every thread, but these half assed joke insults at the devs seem a bit much. Do people genuinely think the people that worked in this game are as bad as her?

No wonder Kyuuji needed a break.

hope that other thread opens peoples eyes to how fucked up it is to celebrate this type of trash and gleefully ignore the harm it does to our very own community members

Yeah it's was so damn blatant how people were dismissing the transphobia of South Park.

Ooh shit, out of no where!! I heard there was gonna be 2 more specials before the end of the year but with no mention of them and the month quickly coming to an end, i started to doubt if that was real or not

Also, whats with all the thread whining? If you dont like south park keep it moving. No one asked you if you like south park or not.

User Banned (3 Months): Dismissing Transphobia

Before that video about the transphobic stuff, I've never seen anyone talked about it on Era.

If you cared that much about it, why wait so long before to even bring it up?

Ban South Park or Melody Shreds will (kill herself) bring up her ko-fi account!

Asking "Why was nobody talking about South Park's transphobia before?", in 2023, is truly one of the most astounding questions I have ever heard

South Park has always been right up there in most prominently effective pieces of transphobic media for decades along with Jerry Springer. You might as well be complaining nobody told you the ending to Ace Ventura was transphobic, it's just announcing you've never bothered to pay attention.

[Boredfrom]

Feel like I'd be a little embarrassed to watch a show in almost-2024 that had a special called "Into The Panderverse" but what do I know

You should be embarrassed for being a communist with a Pokemon avatar (that also watches magical girls shows for little girls and perverts), but what do I know.

[Besticus Maximus]

Apropos of nothing, I watched that Boogie video, which was fucking fascinating. My main thought at the end was, I bet half of Resetera is exactly the same. Minus the girlfriend at the end of course.

In terms of ignoring issues, I'm assuming it's cool to not reply to those specific posts? I agree with everything ppl are saying about the blatantly obvious issues with the show, but at the same time that feeling of being obligated to reply otherwise you're a terrible human being doesn't sit right with me.

Have to ask (beg?) mods if you can ignore thread derailments.

Hello, it's me again. CaptainNuevo. I like the McDonald's characters. I once wrote a lot about them. I also once wrote a lot less about them (but still some!). And there's something very cool, and very exciting, that is going on in the world today. Right now. as we speak it's happening. The world is changing once again. Nobody is paying it any mind.

What is it? The McRenaissance.

You see, long long ago in the 2000s, a time period only old souls may remember, the McDonald's corporation ceased the use of mascots in advertising. This was widely criticized by me as a horrible move. And it was. It still is.

But it's 2023. And things are changing. The Gang is being brought back!

It started in 2022. The Cactus Plant Flea Market box came out, an "Adult Happy Meal" if you will. It brought back a slew of characters, including 3 of the "core 4" character.




This was awesome, people went crazy.


In April of 2023, McDonald's announced improvements to their burgers. and who helped promote them?

A NEW HAMBURGLAR DESIGN. Awesome. Amazing. Classic.


The Core Four again returned in late 2023 as Shoes:



And then we got the Kerwin Frost box in December, which gave us the return of the McNugget Buddies, the Fry Kids (as shoes), and Ronald's Dog SUNDAE!



NOW! Coming next week, we see Hamburglar and Grimace are coming back again now in squish mallow form!

[Besticus Maximus]

you know he's got videos of the hamburglar getting railed

[Pwnz]

The best thing about the South Park threads is that I can get a refined list of concern trolls to add to my ignore list.  Those assholes destroyed the forum.

The claim isn't even true, and it's a constant tool to thread derail and ban bait.

The episode is satire about how fucked up it is to peddle PRIME with loads of caffeine to kids.

[kaleidoscopium]

South Park is going to be their next harass people until it’s banned target. Way too emboldened by cyberpunk and Hogwarts legacy to stop now lol
