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

Can we pour one out for our "games journalist" Hobbes? Seems the jannies wanted rid of him and stuck him with the "alt-account" perm

It's a well known Resetera janny tactic that if you catch a ban for 1~3 weeks because they couldn't perm you, magically in a week your ban will be updated to permanent for "alt account".

Sometimes it could be true, but most of the time this is just the Besada school of moderation where you cull your enemies at all costs. No transparency though, they never tell the inmates the name of the alt account.

LMAO, what a sad way to go. Outed as a troll. Maybe he was the alt-account I mentioned above ? The one who called out Cerium ? Could make sens.

I could see Hobbes joining Neogaf and spilling the beans of stuff he knows. For all his faults, he clearly knows some interesting shit.

On another piece of news, according to one of our trusted insider : there's a beef among the staff and it's big. When I got the information, B-dubs didn't know about it (might have changed since).

Many staff members are MAD at the way all of this was handled. Many stand behind Sophia and want to punish TransEra for all their harassment and lies. They point B-dubs as being the culprit for all this mess. In short, you have two sides : the staff who stands behind B-dubs (few) and the staff who are fed up with TransEra (many).

It's also backed up by AliceEmber recent post and Poodlestrike (or Poundlestrike now) recent outburst.

It's behind close-doors and those people are cowards, so maybe it won't have any further development, but the last time something like that happened, Nepenthe became an admin.

The ride really never ends, it's amazing. They accuse the "alt-right" boogeyman of ruining their community but they're so good at eating themselves without any external help.
 
Is this phantom MAGA tweet the reason they’re calling BC a Nazi, and banning anyone who suggests that the word Nazi might not be wholly accurate?

Or was that in reference to someone else?
It's that tweet and a wrong-think thread he once made about this video.
Didn't even comment, just was asking about opinions on the video. That's all.
The drama keeps coming, now the brothers from the BCT caught wind of the cacs in dresses using their struggles against the Resetera janny

But the jannies responded quickly

Don't compare the white cac troon struggle and jannies being abused to that of the oppressed brothers who get shot by cops for simply going out to get their mail.

But nevermind any of that, Shiron is still losing his mind

And in terms of the brothers on Resetera, NiggaScooter has some answering to do

Screeches at the jannies, is a fan of the tranny surprise and "vagina inspections"

:thinking:

Maybe NiggaScooter should sign up for The Coli instead.
ShironRedshift is maybe the most unhinged poster of them all. This is school shooter material right here. Him doing an hero would be the best possible outcome at this point.

Speaking of George Floyd, can we get an "I can't breathe" montage with Cyberpunk 2077 kneeling on Kyuuji's head?

This is a good thread btw:

All they need to do is ban the fuckers, ban the people who complain, and keep going until it's a normal moderately progressive gaming discussion site.
 
Adding that you're a moderator of a cartoon subreddit like it's some sort of accomplishment how sad can you get?
Open scene; investment banker's office. He's top of the line, head honcho. A real big cheese at this bank.

Hobbes walks in his mangled, folded and creased suit, clip on tie and all.

"Come in, Mr... Hobbes is it?"

"Yes Mx.. I hope you've found my resume quite enlightening."

"Hmm. Well, I don't know what a Mx is, but I hope you're still ready to work at this company. You uh, sure look spiffy.
Now you wrote on your resume, that you're moderator of a video game forum?"

"Subreddit, Mx. Goldstein."

"...Right..."

This seems like the sensible thing to do. But the effects are hard to predict because it's Era. They just don't follow normal behavioral rules or logic and the troon/non-binary/ace-gender discords are glowing from the shadows.

The issue is that many of the people complaining are trans and are complaining about transphobia, discrimination, etc. You can't ban them because you'll lose progressive status, regardless of how annoying they are.

Then delete the posts. It should be quite simple to effectively silence the faggots.

It's the right thing to do but they can't because if they do it will spill over to outside the site and reach games journalism sites like Kotaku.

"Gaming Forum ResetEra is silencing trans voices" is one hell of a headline they don't want.
 
Telling someone to "pound sand" (or more commonly in my area, "pound salt") is just a standard way to tell someone to fuck-off. There is no relation to trans identity or trans-specific about it. It's just generic slang.

Any insult or even mild criticism to anyone that they deem to be on their side is "transphobia", or "racism" or "misogyny" (depending on the subject) to these people. Troons are considered above reproach and the only possible reason someone might tell them to fuck-off is clearly a bigot.

True. Even the more offensive variant I read in a Steven King novel, 'Go pound sand up your ass' and the more expansive 'go find a sandpile, then find a hammer, take that hammer and pound that sand ALL right up your ass!' are more humorous and vulgar versions of 'fuck off outta my sight' and not transphobic in the slightest.

The fact that one of the other jannies even showed the post where the one told to go pound sand, had told someone else to go pound sand first, and it was completely ignored and buried in the screeching of 'MUH TRANSPHOBIA' and 'RESIGN POODLESTRIKE' these people have fucking no philosophy beyond being a pool of professional victims.
