Something my friend who used to go to Resetera (he gave permission to me to share it) said:
"The thing about resetera is that it masquerades as a normal gaming forum. Lots of normies ignore the political spectrum of things there. I did, and I felt like it was a good idea at first. Many of these people seemed friendly enough to ignore their political inclinations. I eventually interacted with enough people to gain a reputation and even followers. Heck, I've even participated in things like Mafia games and invite only forums. But here's the thing, these people are willing to tear apart and gossip about things when you least expect it.
The start of my lessened interaction with resetera was when user was banned for a minor infraction that had nothing to do with politics. He was a bit of a troll. But in the forums, people felt were planning to bait him into being banned because they took the trolling personally. I, of course, felt it was wrong but I ended up not doing anything about it. There were similar stuff I saw happening more and more frequently too. They wanted "problematic" users banned for the most petty reasons too. It was like The Purge, or a witch hunt!
The final straw wasn't that though. A person I looked up to died, and a thread was made about it. In it, I was shocked that there was so many vitriol about him, and they were unwilling to discuss the good things he has done, or the positive impact he had on the world. I commented something like "Huh, so this is why this forum has a reputation." A few seconds later, someone asked me if I wanted to leave the forum and if I did, to just stay away. I felt insulted that they wanted me gone for such meaningless wrongthink, and openly too. From then on, I pretty much blew off ever going back there as a member of the community. I went there once or twice to talk to some people who don't show open hostility to wrong think but that's it. People who do show hostility to wrongthink and interact with me? They get meaningless dribble.
If you're asking for screenshots and usernames don't bother. I don't want to fight fire with fire, and I don't want them to suspect me and try to cancel me in other places I interact in. I was stupid enough to use a similar name in resetera to my usual username."
So I was kinda surprised about the length of the entire testimony, but there you have it. Resetera hates wrongthink and jokes so much they'll try and get you banned, or make you want to leave anyway.
