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

I know CDprojeckt had good intentions but imo they made a mistake apologising.

RULE #1 when a SJW /SJW mob is “offended” or mad at you... NEVER APOLOGIZE. NEVER. EVER. Don’t do it. They don’t want an apology. They’re not even “offended” for real. THEY WANT BLOOD. They want to destroy your life in every possible way. Apologizing for some random joke (or whatever) that get their panties in a wad, does NOTHING but signal to them that you’re ADMITTING they have a reason to attack you. DON’T DO IT. LITERALLY NEVER.

I remember they got shit that Witcher 3 didn't have black people. CDPR ignored it like a boss.

These people sure know what they're talking about.

Or maybe because "X shit but as anime girls" is a funny meme and can allow for doofy fanart of dumb scenarios involving the thing turned into an anime girl?

Same thing as why Hetalia Axis Powers exists, to make WW2 funny by turning the countries that participated into hunky anime boys that act like stereotypical citizens of their respective nations.

Only thing I know about Hetalia Axis Powers is that it gave us this:

What's this "account still in junior phase" stuff that keeps popping up in ban lists? probation period for new accounts?
I think Junior accounts can't create threads as well, this was the way since GAF (in fact Neo-NeoGAF still does it).

I have no idea why they're doing it, I assume because making threads about Vidya is srs businezz.

Worth noting, a 300 post count blockade against new posters is extremely unusual.

A lot of forums give trial periods for new members, usually within 30-100 posts. During this time moderators are usually treating newbs with a grain of salt, since an issue raised because of a newblet is either someone who isn't really familiar with the rules or prevailing attitudes of the forum or who are just trying to be dicks, and which a given user is going to be will, traditionally, make themselves known in short order. This is how it was done on NeoGAF prior to the infestation hitting critical mass.

On ResetERA, the only similarity to the above is the presence of a post count to end newb status, and the paradigm is reversed. There's a very high post count for newblet status to end because the Mods' duty is to ensure party line adherence. While NeoGAF did it to try to help the newbs acclimate and skim the would-be trolls out, ResetERA does it because they want an excuse to ban absolutely everyone who looks like they may develop critical thinking skills and/or has the presence of mind to question anything about the narrative.

It's very similar to what certain employers do with squirreling away some tiny clause in the middle of a gigantic rule handbook about how they can fire you at any time without consequence within the first six months of your hiring, only it's done solely for ideological conformity.
 
Personally I don't consider the post count too extreme; you're only making 3-4 posts a day(no length minimum) over a 90-day period to clear both Junior Account criteria. The trick is that even if you followed the regimen, being a senior member affords you zero protection from any wrongthink. Unless you're a troon you can be banned quickly & permanently with almost no build-up or warning. A few pages back we had a genuine(no double agent), year long, 2,000+ post user die in 4 moderator messages.
 
I'm sorry I said that Phazon was an ugly woman roleplaying as a pretty woman. Phazon is clearly a creepy man roleplaying as a pretty woman.

I'm rating you winner because that was a fucking amazing chimpout by Phazon. I don't browse ResetEra much, but I wonder if I should at least go there just to look up 'her' posts for a good chuckle.

ATTEMPTING TO DICTATE THE TERMS OF RECLAIMED LANGUAGE

Of course, that wouldn't fit into their anti-white-man agenda, so off to the salt mines with you. Or Camp #5.

"reclaimed language", jfc you can't make this shit up.

If it’s REclaimed language, does that mean they were calling each other niggers 400 years ago in Africa?
 
Not only can the left not meme, they can't even understand existing memes.

Oh god, this reads exactly like the shit in the Nice Gals and the 'Everything is a Lesbian' threads. I'm completely willing to accept that PhazonBlonde is a "queer woman" irl; people like her can be as bad as incels. I don't believe that she's almost been raped though, exaggeration of how awful men are is a requirement of being a Nice Gal.

You don't even have to go there, she's one of the VIPs on the banbot.
