Plagiarize also recently came out as a trans woman. So this is the type of rape erasure that JK Rowling talks about happening live in 4K

The only thing that's going to save them from having to step down after their rape apologetics post. I wonder if 2 other mods agreed with their prepped response before it was posted.

If the UN has accused Hamas of using hostages as sex slaves, I certainly haven't seen any reporting on that. If it's out there, it would be helpful to have that provided, because when I look at Brady's post that's *clearly* a massive accusation and for me it comes out of nowhere. And yes, I know that hostages have been victims of sexual assault, as is depressingly common with prisoners in conflicts like this, but that's not the same thing at all.

ONE MONTH BAN: WHITEWASHING TERRORISTIC SEXUAL ASSAULT

Mod entering the thread to do a teensy bit of rape denial is so fucking funny.

Lmao it's International Women’s Day lmaoooo. Please somebody link this thread to Colin Moriarty.

User Banned (1 month): Inflammatory accusations

I don't support threatening to attack our allies.

So to you the more important thing is to stand by our allies committing genocide over stopping genocide? Got it

User Banned (1 month): inflammatory accusations

I was desperately hoping for a shift on Gaza and I'm bitterly disappointed. It's a genocide and he needs to act to stop it immediately. He's just saying the same crap he's been saying since November while still fully supporting and enabling Israel. A ceasefire is something if it happens but he needs to make Israel do it with the very real levers he has, not by asking nicely.

Nothing overcomes the above, nothing can cleanse the enabling of genocide, but he was good on the domestic stuff mostly and actually going after Republicans, not doing the cross the aisles bullshit (which to be fair he hasn't done for a while). Except presenting the Border Bill as a good thing: It's good politicking to embarrass Republicans to their base, I suppose, but that thing was abominable and I'm glad it didn't pass; it never should have been tabled.

Ukraine stuff was really good.

I really enjoyed him calling out the SC to their faces (though I noticed a couple weren't there, cowards).

Republicans made fools of themselves as usual. It would have been better for them to show some decorum but even their leaders couldn't control them to help themselves, again as usual. Clowns.

His performance should counter the "not well enough" (to put it mildly) stuff too, which did seem to be damaging.

Finally, fuck Biden but it's good he did well delivering this because we need the piece of shit to win.

edit: Honestly, it makes me sick when I read the few "That's my president" comments in this thread. Praise the specific good things he does if you like but that type of universal statement of approval really makes it seem like Gaza doesn't matter to you.

User Banned (1 month): inflammatory comparisons

No, what it means is that once you've deliberately and for months enabled genocide, you should never be seen as a good person again. No matter what you do but especially when you refuse to stop doing it. Essentially, in the context of judging Biden's personal character, enabling genocide overrides any good he has done. Fuck Biden forever.

I'm gonna snip this out because it's really the crux of the issue that, for whatever reason, a lot of people on this board can't seem to understand.

It really should not be controversial or difficult to grasp that Biden is irredeemable for some people and there is no amount of good he can do to wash away the stain of aiding and abetting genocide. I'm not saying this is my exact position but I think it is absolutely a fair and logically sound position for someone to take.

Trying to use Biden's good deeds as some kind of counter, as if this is all just an exercise in utilitarian bean counting, is similar logic to saying Mussolini wasn't that bad because the trains ran on time (which isn't actually true, they weren't on time, but I digress).

There's some sort of genocide happening and all I'm doing is eating chicken wings from Wingstop. I didn't order the Lakers spice, because Kobe.

I work for a county jail. If the police investigated and found that sexual assaults had taken place within the jail and you started claiming that the police found the organization was using the inmates as sex slaves, then that would absolutely be a differentiation worth getting into. Prisoners are at huge risk of being victims of sexual assault and strong measures should be taken to protect them. Indifference to that fact, or straight up negligence of it, is indefensible.

But it's still not the same thing at all as accusing an organization of using people as sex slaves, and given historical negative stereotypes aimed at Muslims, completely uncalled for.

So.. Are we going to deny that ISIS didn't sell slaves / have sex slaves? I guess there weren't any slave women in the Ottoman harems. Not at all.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

I like how no matter what the problem with Era moderation is, the solution is always more bans.

[kaleidoscopium]

Plagiarize showing how fucking stupid the mods are, live for everyone to see, is the treat of the weekend 

This site is a complete joke for serious discussion.

Pretty sure GameFAQs could've drummed up more participation for a Pokemon tournament with premium prizes too.

At least baseball season starts soon.

Good to know that Hamas didn't use sex slaves, they just repeatedly raped hostages.

Moderation performing whataboutism on rape.

Now he said what he actually means. Accusing muslims of rape is bad, even if those specific muslims we're talking about are literally committing rape.

[Nintex]

You are making quite the accusation but there is no evidence that hostages were used as sex slaves

The evidence might have been fabricated by the enemy and that is why need to regulate AI

Please do not post images that go against the TOS and do not use the word rape as it might upset some people

Thank you for sharing reports that allegedly claim hostages might have been sexually assaulted but that isn't the same as holding them as sex slaves

Did you know this is a depressingly common occurence in times of conflict, we should stop supporting both sides of this war

Get off your high horse, you're doing nothing while we're donating to trans charities to end the genocide and organize resistance against the colonizers

You can't deal with the symptoms unless you get rid of the root cause: white capitalism and boys club rhetoric

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Claiming the UN claimed Hamas did something *that evokes historical negative stereotypes about Muslim people having harems or sex slaves, etc* when the UN didn't claim that, is inflammatory.

Yes, yes. I'm sure doubling, no tripling down will work out for you! 

[Hap Shaughnessy]

I have shit I should be doing, but this train wreck is too entertaining.

[saltygeneraltso]

Plagiarize's defense is really "I'm a cop. You wouldn't say all of us are bastards just because my coworkers were committing systemic rape on prisoners would you???"

[kaleidoscopium]

You should really step down as a moderator. You lost all your credibility. You have zero.

[Snoopy]

Was hoping for another of Shred’s suicide fund raisers but watching an actual mod downplaying war crimes is an unexpected treat

[HaughtyFrank]

A fucking mod going on about the pinpoint accurate definition of sex slave (which he hasn't provided any of by the way) while they have absolutely zero issue with calling it a "trans genocide" 
fucking lmao

If only actually dubious claims about this war were subjected to this level of hemming and hawing by the "moderation" team. You're twisting yourself into pretzels about whether hostages subjected by terrorists to sexual torture are tantamount to sex slaves, and still wonder why misinformation, antisemitism, and extremism are out of control on this site? Get a clue.

I can't believe I have to put a mod on ignore. Lol what the fuck.

ETA: It seems you can't ignore mods. Nice now I gotta see this dude's posts all over this thread.

It’s like when people tried to ignore Nepenethes dumbass

Just curious, are we going to get super semantic about the term "genocide" or is that free game?

Top of the page chud bait

We're so fucking back

Dunno man, looks like the typical mash A to win/hit L1+B to do special move sort of game to me.

[Nintex]

The conversations around this conflict are incredibly sensitive and affect far more people than take part in this thread. If you want to make a claim, then you should really make sure that it is accurate.

I'm sure Hamas have committed horrible acts that we don't even know about.

No one is helped by claiming the UN accused them of things the UN hasn't accused them of.

You don't need a legal dictionary to hand. Don't put words in the UNs mouth when making claims about what they said. Same as we would ask you to when making a thread title.

[kaleidoscopium]

I am going to report every single post which says "genocide joe" as "inflammatory rhetoric per recent ban criteria"

I fucking love this trainwreck

On the other side in the stellar blade demo page: 

Can't wait for the ShiftUp discourse to start again. I'll give this a shot, but partly out of curiosity if SU can do what they did with Nikke: somehow manage to tell a decent story while having ungodly amounts of T&A.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/stellar-blade-demo-now-available-on-ps5-up-dead.825321/?post=120231240#post-120231240

My thoughts up until now was that the gameplay looked kind of uninteresting and the art style was doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Definitely a good idea to drop a demo.

Not sure a demo will fix the character designs though.

[Snoopy]

It really highlights how far gone Ree and these CuLtuRe WarRiORS are. Any normal person who saw what Hamas did on Oct 7th reacted with horror. Just as they did when they saw poor, innocent Palestinians getting slaughtered a few days later. A normal person doesn’t make excuses for atrocities, or use loopholes to excuse gang rape. Ree and their counterparts are very sick people.

There is a point where incompetence reaches a point so cosmic it cannot in any possible world be taken as anything other than unfiltered malice. It is so staggering obvious that this unfuckingbelivable bullshit is and has always been exclusively about the elimination of each and every perceived political enemy at any and all cost that I frankly don't know how the people who consistently come up with such astoundingly embarrassing PR responses tie their shoelaces in the morning.

I am embarrassed beyond belief to have had an active Era account for over six years.

Resetera, where everything is made up and the points don't matter, unless you start vilifying people who rape Jewish war hostages. Do you hate Muslims? No place for hate here.

Also, all white babies should be eradicated.

[kaleidoscopium]

That's why I think some kind of audit or clarification of who else agreed to that deicision might be useful. As with pretty much all bans but we know that won't happen so whoever defends that decision publicly gets the brunt of the heat.

I doubt that would ever happen and I'm not even sure it would be good if it did. Mods are volunteers and already get hate for bans they might not even have taken part in, a lot mods aren't going to want to put their names on the ban of popular posters if it means their pals go on harassment campaigns against them. And if you don't think that would happen, then you've missed a lot of the "I am Spartacus" reactions to bans around here. To say nothing of the hate mail. I saw some of those messages in my time as a mod and they got really abusive. That would just lead to more bans and more people being abusive and whatever we gain out of the transparency we lose in those shit shows.

How dare people know who and why someone was banned  good grief these people are actually insane. Imagine a society ran in this fashion where cops and judges were jailing people behind disguises for whatever reason they wish… 

Does sound like the China some of them love…
