NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

[Neil]

Hoo boy. This one's likely to enrage @GethN7 a little, as well as any Kiwi here who knows their vidya.

Apparently, ResetERA, not happy with alienating devs on this side of the pond, have drawn their crosshairs on a fucking industry legend: Koichi Sugiyama. For the uninitiated, Sugiyama is a fucking legend in both video games and anime who has made the soundtracks of fucking hundreds of works, most notably the Dragon Quest series.

The guy has a legacy that rivals Nobuo Uematsu. He's 87 years old and a fucking highly respected composer. One could make the argument that as a really old professional in a very conservative country, he could be forgiven for some level of wrongthink, but that's thinking with logic, and you know how ResetERA feels about that. Recently, He laughed at an anti-LGBT Japanese politician, so he's obviously both a war crime denier and worthy of death:











It just spirals out from here.

Wow.

Calling for the death of an 87 year old man just for the sake of him being on a talk show panel with a politician. He didn't even say a word! He didn't call for the deaths of Japanese troons in the streets, or for all Yaoi lovers to be thrown off of buildings.

All he did was laugh, as is polite to do in Japan.

Wanna know what's even better about this? The video is from 2015. These jackasses are screeching at this man for a video made 3 years ago.

These are the same assholes reeeing over a dead hashtag from 4 years ago.

Seems the crazy has turned into overdrive mode in the last few weeks. Retardation seems to grow exponentially.

The 1000 post challenge is amazing but why did you reveal the identities? Surely they'll catch wind of this?

I want to get on this but I dont think i could go very many posts there without having to call someone a commie faggot.

This probably won't be a popular opinion but I think an idea for a funnier competition would be to get on there, build up a rep, and leverage that rep to gently guide them further into the bat shit left, and get even more people banned. With a little creativity I'm sure people could come up with some quality shit they'd eat right up if left the proper breadcrumbs.

Shit like "Trump is part of a secret Majestic-12 like global white supremacist conspiracy to genocide peoples of color through global warming, and the Russia collusion is just the tip of the iceberg".

There's potential there but seems high concept. Keeping these accounts alive to 1000 will be struggle enough. Look how many real Era users can't make it out of the Junior Member phase.

I don't know what to say about this but it looks like the AIDS virus.

Also big kudos to CrunkLord's node map, that looks like it'll be hilarious to parse the busy nodes for their dumb activity going forward. Maybe some of our surviving contestants can use their accounts to post uncomfortable data about some of their "star" users in the near future.

CrunkLord is evil, though. He's building a super robot that will replace Kiwis! He's going to release it into the wild as an autonomous lolcow hunter.

They were already sick of that shit when they gave Bob Chimpman the boot. Well, they tried to give him the boot but he was too fucking fat, so they had to rent a backhoe to get him out of the door.

Gender Spectrum character creation. They get on that yet? That could get the troons out in force

Because god forbid that a single discussion forum becomes a form of escape from political nonsense.

Crossing Eden is having a meltdown in progress. Just a couple of choice posts:

Wow, who knew that constantly thinking about politics 24/7 would turn someone into an utter dickhead?

Of course they're mad. They want Escapist dead of cancer and its corpse to serve as an example, not relaunched. They almost pulled it off between biased moderation and passive-aggressive shitposting to bait people into violating the CoC and getting banned.

This guy probably deserves a VIP spot

An interesting contrast is how KIA responded to this:

I don't need to hear about your retarded politics. Greg Tito was SJW-leaning, but he remained objective and did not ban GG from the Escapist forums. I hope Russ Pitts will also be a decent EIC, even though he recently endorsed someone calling GG Nazis.

If other crazy game journos hate him then he's alright by me.

I'm not familiar with Russ, but I read that piece and I like the things he's saying. And frankly, anyone who has this many of the 'woke games journalist' crowd against him is probably doing something right.

The journo clique really can't understand the difference between advocacy and reporting. The Escapist says they are going to leave their personal politics out of articles as best they can, and it somehow gets warped in to not covering stories at all.

Two completely different worlds.

It's pure egocentrism, is what it is. These people don't give a fuck about games, they just care about their pet causes. For some reason they decided that everyone else in the world also needs to talk about their pet causes, whether they like it or not.

Imagine being so egotistical you think the government should make it a crime to disagree with you.

Imagine being so egotistical you think the government should make it a crime to disagree with you.

One of the symptoms of autism is being unable to comprehend that other people think even slightly differently than you do, so of course they would view a simple disagreement as being completely Earth-shattering, similar to if your mom told you that your dad wasn't actually your dad.

Neutrality =/= nihilism

Most people are "neutral" in the sense that they despise the shit out of extremists in all forms.

 

[Dogs can't look up]

That Skyrim thread was basically the same formula seen on NeoGAF, which eventually turned devs off from posting there as well:

1. Dog pile
2. Litany of strawman arguments, too much for the person to address
3. Every third or fourth reply someone puts words into the OP's mouth
4. The moderators do nothing, aside from warning and banning the wrong people

What a complete cock up. By not enlisting rational, calm individuals to moderate their forums, they have managed to make it worse for everyone - liberals, conservatives, moderates, out right loons and libtards (the regressive left), everyone. It is now worse than NeoGAF in every way.

Good job Sweet Nicole! You did it!
