Amazing how mentioning Boogie in a post will create five pages of discussion.

Yeah I admit, more feminine than most of the ones that barely try, and it looks like he's at least trying. Attitude and general community managing abilities are shitty though.

Nicole has the issue of being this overbearing motherly figure that is trying to be the matriarch of an allegedly revolutionary forum. EvilLore was an asshole, but he was fairly hands off in most cases.

Nicole can't help but step in and shout over everyone in any remotely heated thread with her red text hammer.

So I know Reeeesetera has a paywall but does anyone know if it's like Something Awful where they'll let wrongthinkers back in as long as they gib shekels for a new account or are you banned forever?

The rules were posted a couple pages back, I think you get banned for wrongthink either way. Rightthink always trumps shekels in REEEEsetEra.

EDIT: Here ya go, the full set of rules:

They say themselves they look like a corpse without it. Easiest way to fake an illness is to just go without makeup.

If you happen to get banned, we will cancel your subscription for you.
...
For example: You subscribe to Era Clear Yearly. But 5 months in you decide to cancel the subscription at the end of the term. You will still receive the remaining time you subscribed to until the year is up and then the subscription will run out.
....
Because you are not able to browse the site normally during a banned instance, you would have no way to go in and cancel a subscription from happening. So, our system will cancel a recurrence for you depending on the timeframe.

I don't suppose they'll prorate it so they refund someone if they ban them 1 month into their year sub, huh. Then they'd actually be paying to ban people. But I guess that's how it is already at the moment since mods and admins are footing the site costs.

Actual game and platform centric discussion at Era is endlessly dissatisfying to watch play out. Far as I can tell, a lot of Era users don't post to engage in fruitful or entertaining discussion, but to push their own specific narratives about gaming, and to have them validated by others. One such narrative I've noticed come up more and more lately is this idea that Era itself is a hive of Nintendo apologists and fanboys. That's a bit mystifying to me, considering that from the outside looking in, Era appears to be as much of a PS fan circlejerk as NeoGAF was. There's a gaming thread going on right now titled "PS doesn't have BC because Sony wants to sell you the same games again" and predictably, half the thread is like "I actually love buying games multiple times, and I should thank Big Dick Papa Sony for the opportunity!" Playstation is flawless, you see, and the evidence is clear: it's winning the console war. If it had flaws, then it wouldn't be. You follow me? No? Well, that's the logic. Stumble into any PS-centric thread on Era and you'll witness how pervasive that strange sort of logic is, firsthand.

I'd like Playstation to be backwards compatible, because the platform emphasizes digital purchases in a way that past platforms didn't, and I want my purchase history to carry forward. ---> "BC is obviously not necessary for a successful platform, and that's why Sony doesn't invest in it. I mean, look for yourself. PS4 is #1. Therefore, who needs BC? Just wait and see, Sony might re-release the games you already own with marginal upgrades at a premium."

I think that cross platform play would be neat and it'd enable me to play with all my friends. ---> "If they were your real friends, they would have coordinated their console purchase with you. Cross platform play is a neat idea, but if you look at how well the PS4 is selling, it's not really necessary or something I want Sony to have to worry about."

The Sony apologism is just so blithe, as the natural result of that sort of logic and behavior having been status quo at their old forum for so long. If you believe these observations to be exaggerations or otherwise :autism: , peruse any such thread on Era and you'll see it for yourself. It will be interesting to watch Era's reaction to Sony rolling out features like cross platform play and backwards compatibility over time. Overnight, these things and others will become vital features, bars which competing platforms must not fail to reach, once they're standard on Playstation.

I don't understand why transwomen don't wear makeup. Many natural-born women can't even pass without it, and they think they can go without?

Gay dudes are better at makeup than transwomen.

This user was banned (LENGTH PENDING) for misogynistic thought process and hateful rhetoric. Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done.

Oh wow, my sides. That is on a whole other special level of exceptional. I'll give ERA two-three months and it should arrive at the same destination.

Man, I forgot to mention this, but I remember when that thread happened. Its original title? "Can we talk about the rape in Bayonetta...?". Tell me that shit doesn't send your eyes into planetary orbit. I thought back then, "man, if only Bayonetta were published by Ubisoft. I'd get to see Crossing Eden melt down like a robot faced with a paradox."

I can't help but to roll my eyes every time I see a thread titled " let's / can we / we need to talk about _________", that shit is so corny. Painfully common on Era.
