He is a Saiyan. In all seriousness I think he is suppose to be a Japanese American(White) Mix.

There is no clearly defined ethnicity for any major character in the series, but due to the series being based on Journey to the West, most characters early on are very obviously chinese based, with some very japanese inspired characters here and there. Though if I remember right, adult Goku and the other saiyans were drawn slightly more caucasian on purpose (because they're aliens), but the entire series kind of drifted in a more western direction eventually anyway.

This was obviously too near the knuckle.

Thank God, the white devil got banned.

Thank God, the white devil got banned.

...And moderation proves him right, utterly vindicating him.

Keep banning people, RetardERA, you'll stop your community's slow bleed if you just keep cutting enough.

I think it's important to recognize that ResetEra seems to have completely stopped caring about how they appear to the outside world. CrunkLord's banbot doesn't have stats for the number of new accounts being made, but I think an earlier post of yours showed that the rate of new users joining has been slowing. Coincidentally, we've seen an increase in hysterical mod activity over the course of this thread since ResetEra's creation. This suggests that the admins and mods are throwing away long-term growth for short-term pandering to their most deluded users. That doesn't strike me as a particularly smart way to run a website that relies on ad revenue. All the forums I remember them mentioning as "more progressive places" than RE and subreddits like r/anarchism can get away with it because they're funded by more popular sections of the sites they occupy, but when the entire site is an annoying echo chamber full of tankies? Not so much.

It's especially curious when you remember that it's a fuck-mothering video game site, and yet that part of said website is increasingly pushed further and further into the margins.

Why am I not surprised? The best part is they're at least aware. They didn't ban him for the post he made which would have utterly proved his point, BUT, they still scrounged up a reason to ban him after he made such a post criticizing Era's perfect moderatorship. So maybe not so self-aware. What a buncha fucking asshats.

What a brave man this TyrantGuardian is for dropping some "truth shit" on a person that can't defend himself and isn't protected by the moderator team!

You know, I'm reminded of a very interesting interview by Jesse lee Peterson.
Let me share it with you:

What you have here is two black people - one entirely boosted upon his own merits, the other, an identity politician, in her position because of affirmative action. What you witness in this is fucking breathtaking: She can't define "white privilege" in a way that makes logical sense, and she is legitimately mystified that a black person exists that does not subscribe to black identity politics.

This video perfectly encapsulates why shitheads like TyrantGuardian are wrong on every conceivable level: Because ultimately, racial identity politics are about people oppressing themselves.

This is going to drive away even the shitty malicious malware advertisers they currently have. Those guys have no problem with abhorrent content, and would advertise on ED, or even here if nool would have it, but what they do care about is clicks.

There's something gaergate-y to be said here about pandering to your fanbase and not dropping them in a grab for a different demographic of customers That being said, they don't need long-term growth, or even stability for 50 years; they only need a dwindling income to last 15 years when they inevitably collapse again as a forum OR all the troons reach mid-life crises as unattractive non-women and kill themselves because their best years are behind them & wasted, whichever comes first.

The transphobic trace on the reason graph is now fixed, thanks to Cauliflower Of Love for the bug report.

There will be more/better statistics features coming soon. Someone pointed out to me that you can get user post counts without being logged in, which I've wanted for some time but completely overlooked due to browsing without JS.

Wow. Not only does she refuse to even define white privilege, but when she claims she lacked educational opportunities and he points out she went to good schools and wasn't lacking, she moves the goalposts and sputters some babble about not having the same exact teachers as some white kids. Unless she can show numbers that black students in her posh school were funneled to inferior academic support she has nothing, but she knows that already.

The Doom Eternal quip is an obvious joke about how corporations are soul less and cynical. I'm a veteran shitposter of half a dozen chans and I still can't figure out these guys got "fuck niggers and refugees" from that joke.

That's mostly because as much as these same people love to adulate the tenants of socialism/communism, they are simultaneously one of the most hoplessly consumerist groups of people on planet earth so long as the corporation they decide to listen to say enough buzzwords and put up as much of a PC front as they can to make them stop screaming at them enough to buy something from them (which usually never fucking works because they barely even participate in whatever medium their product takes place in)

That's my theory as to why those quips went over their heads anyway

 

[Muh_Soggy_Knee]

Then the second they get any sort of power and the actual fans get mad about their shitty decisions they start saying stuff like "Nerds suck #bringbackbullying" Shit sucks.

Kinda makes me glad that G4-Tech TV died...

I love that man. He represents what I WANT grown black(or any for that matter)people to be. Intelligent. Self-supporting. Able to actually think for himself instead of blaming everything around him. And that woman is just tripping over herself because she can't just cry racism to an older black man, she has to talk civil with him but can't keep from digging herself deeper.

It's beautiful.

ResetEra LLC is complicit so says righteous and powerful black man https://www.resetera.com/threads/ra...in-washington-d-c.62415/page-28#post-11574013 (https://archive.fo/3GLAH)

Is ResetEra staff condoning violence by trying to defend people who condemn violence as not necessarily racist? https://www.resetera.com/threads/ra...rs-the-n-word-in-washington-d-c.62415/page-31 (https://archive.fo/7os2d)

ResetEra loves to ban people for "false equivalencies". One may suppose, then, that any outrageous equivalency drawn which goes unpunished is officially condoned by the staff of ResetEra.

You heard it here first, folks. ResetEra's OFFICIAL POLICY is that mean words are the same as sexual assault.

"Your speech is violence, our violence is speech."

This is entirely unsurprising.

Some dudebro dipshit whose claim to fame is interning at Game Informer writes an article crying about how gaymargay (still just as dead as it was 3 years ago) isn't properly outraged over the IGN dipshit who got busted plagiarizing everything. Basically it boils down to "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee KotakuInAction!!!".

A choice quote:

"Miucin has escaped the harassment and hate campaigns that have driven many women and people of color out of the industry or prevented them from being more outspoken."

It goes without saying that he provides no actual examples of any of these "multitudes of people" but he does link to an article from 2014 about Zoe Quinn because he lives in an alternate reality where it's possible to drive someone who was never in an industry out of it.

So obviously there's a thread because the only time ReetardERA is gonna pass up an opportunity to have another giant pointless circle-jerk over how woke they all are is when the site's dead: https://www.resetera.com/threads/let’s-not-forget-that-what-gamergate-doesn’t-say-matters-too-ign-plagiarism.62707/

GAYMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Here's a guy attempting to reason with the frothing dipshits, always turns out well.

Basically the thread boils down to ERA being outraged that KuntakuInAction didn't "harass" the guy as much as they wanted them to because he was shitcanned almost instantly weeks ago and are trying to blame it on the fact that he isn't a woman and/or minority instead because actually harassment is good (when they say it is).

(If KIA wasn't filled with mouthbreathing sperglets they'd start spamming dozens of Muicin threads just to make ERA freak out and flip-flop into defending the guy so they don't dare share the same opinion as the shitlords they hate so much.)

-

Excel Spreadsheet is like one of those cops that got busted giving out bullshit speeding tickets as part of a contest between officers only in Spreadsheet's case he's the only one competing and he's still the loser anyways.

"Maybe punching retards isn't the best way to make them stop being retarded"
"Wow why do you hate black people??????????"

I guess saying the racist old white lady is probably going to be even more racist now after getting her face melted by a black person(s) for being a retard is pretty much the same thing as saying racism is good.

The more you know.

Excel Spreadsheet is ERA's very own superhero. No matter what thread they're in, he'll find those evil wrongthinkers and disingenuously misinterpret their posts until they get banned for responding to him seriously.

He's the hero ERA deserves, not the one it needs.

You're not allowed to ask for any kind of nuanced discussion regarding GamerGay becauce on ResetERA the only discussion of anything even remotely (and sometimes not even) related to it allowed is "GaymerGay is bad and I hate it" posts repeated endlessly until the thread is locked and a new one sprouts to continue the cycle.

Holy fuck an actual quality Era thread?

What the fuck is happening?

Or not...
