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

[Ashen One]

It's basic SJW logic. For the question, 'is this racist?' the answer is always yes. No exceptions. If you can ask the question that's proof of its existence.

I take solace in the fact most people in the thread (sans Slayven) asnwered "No." and a few brave ones daring to go further "No, this is dumb and some people are just looking to be offended." with only one casualty for that so far.

But my favorite part of that thread was the second ban.

Spoiler: Hostility

Spoiler: Not Hostility

Come on ResetEra mods, at least try to pretend you're unbiased or even more people will end up leaving.

Oh m8 what were you thinking???

Does RPGnet have the same level of paranoia and infighting as Era?

They have a confirmed legendary story about a game development company called Sir-tech hiring a bunch of pedo Australians to make a game that eventually got canceled eons ago. One of the devs trolled the forum for years about it and everyone thought he was some troll who was just looking for attention and making shit up.

Everything he said turned out to be true.

They have a confirmed legendary story about a game development company called Sir-tech hiring a bunch of pedo Australians to make a game that eventually got canceled eons ago. One of the devs trolled the forum for years about it and everyone thought he was some troll who was just looking for attention and making shit up.

Everything he said turned out to be true.

I had never heard of this before, so I thought I would give it a quick search. This is great internet lore, thanks for the heads-up on it. Some choice excerpts from Sir-Tech employee and critic Cleveland Mark Blakemore:

I just wanted to add, for those semi-autistic people who are on this thread who have trouble recognizing hyperbole, that there wasn't really a waist-deep pile of sex toys in the bathroom in Max Phipps apartment. Here I'll tell the literal truth about Max Phipps bathroom instead of the colorful version ...

When you entered the already cramped bathroom, there was always a vibrator behind the sink faucets. Why a man needed to keep a vibrator in the open in his bathroom, I'll never understand.

The bathroom was already cramped. Max Phipps had picked this as a place to store a padded sex couch (elevates a man's ass who lies on it stomach first) with metal railings in here around the same size as your typical Sears weight bench. So in order to be able to sit on the toilet, you had to push this bench backs towards the wall so that it now blocked the door to exit.

But wait, I have not got to the best part yet. Max always had a series of strapped bondage gear and strap-on paraphernalia that was drying over the shower curtain rod. It is like he had to have some massive cleanup each night after some wild gay bacchanalia he conducted in his apartment. I will give the man one thing - he was concerned with hygiene because the place smelled very strongly of the bleach that all this stuff was soaked in before it dried out.

So once you were seated on the toilet, it was impossible to simply turn your head to the left even an inch because there was usually a 9 inch rubber dildo hanging at nose level on the strap-on right in front of your face on the curtain rod.

You might try to think to yourself ... This is an absurd situation, I'll just try to make the best of it, perhaps read something, keep my head to the right and pretend I don't see any of this stuff. There was the strange occasional bump to your left shoulder that was like something in a horror movie, you just knew it was the rubber dildo poking into your back on that side but you sat there quietly ignoring it. You would reach for the stack of literature that was piled to one side beneath the sink ... let's see if we can find something here ...

NAVY COCKS COME ASHORE ... skip ...
MANLOADS : SUMMER COMING UP ... skip ...
BOYS AND TOYS AND JOYS ... skip ...

.... (rifling through around thirty gay magazines) ....

... Okay ... here's a flyer from Target.

You'd turn the pages, looking at consumer items on sale ... then notice when it got to the menswear section there were a series of bizarre stains on the pages ... recoil in horror and throw it back onto the pile.

You'd think "A MAN HAS GOT TO SET LIMITS FOR THE PURPOSE OF HIS OWN HUMAN DIGNITY WHEN IT COMES TO A JOB AND THIS SITUATION EXCEEDS THOSE LIMITS. EXCEEDS WHAT IS REASONABLE TO BE EXPECTED OF ANY WELL ADJUSTED PERSON."

Feeling revulsion, you'd realize you now had to try to wash your hands whilst remaining seated, you'd twist sideways, turn on the water and reach for the hand soap bottle, also covered in strange stains ... finally you would just rinse your hands under the tap ... impulsively reach for a hand towel hanging on the rack ... think better of it, just shake your hands dry and hold them in front of you.

Max Phipps would scream from the meeting room ... "Did you fall in, Yank?!? We're waiting out here! I don't have all day."

Right, you'd think ... attempt to stand and complete the exercise without touching anything. Shuffle sideways and attempt to rinse your hands again, using your elbows to turn the taps ... shake your hands dry ... "Be right out, Max, just a minute!"

You would pull the ass-pounder bench back against the toilet so you could open the door, trying to use the inside of your wrists to turn the knob, then exit back to the meeting where Phipps would talk for hours and hours without ever making a point or even conveying any real information. He would usually grow so shrill and enraged his face would flush bright red and the veins on his forehead would bulge as he indicted the movie and television industry for never recognizing the true extent of his talent and reminding us all again how lucky that peasants like we were even exposed to his social strata for any reason, claiming to know a wide variety of famous people he hobnobbed about with who led superior glamorous lives that we should never know. All the while Philip Moore would sit silently at his side nodding his head, tears of joy and love in his eyes hanging on Max's every word. He might occasionally insert a confirmation to Max ... "You got it that time, Max!" or "Max, once again you have nailed it!" or "Max, we are lucky to even have you!" (Imagine Philip Hoffman in The Big Lebowski as the rich man's butler toady except a hundred pounds lighter and with the build of Pee-Wee Herman.)

This was part of the requirements for the job. This wasn't just one day. This was the "team meeting" twice a week and after it was over I was never really certain what had been discussed, coming away with no useful semantic information about anything.

This is purportedly from a post in the RPGcodex forum. I copied it from a comment at https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/ but when I tried to follow the link to RPGcodex it required authentication to view, so that's as far as I made it. Here's an archive link to a thread with the remainder of the text (it surpassed our character limit here).

I don't understand all this reeeeeing on ''ethnic food''. It's normal that a food magazine for western audience will cater to the majority. It not discriminatory or racist if the foreign food will be modified for the ''wypipo'' palate. The big food chain like mcdo will do that, it not uncommon they have special item in specific country that cater to the local palate

"Chinese food" was literally invented for wypipo. But it was invented by actual Chinese people. Almost every dish on the generic Diarrhea Dragon menu was invented in NYC in the '10s and '20s by a few guys.

Speaking of straight white males

Current and ex-employees allege Google drastically rolled back diversity and inclusion programs

One well-liked diversity training program at Google called Sojourn, a comprehensive racial justice program created for employees to learn about implicit bias and how to navigate conversations about race and inequality, was cut entirely, according to seven former and current employees. Sojourn...

It's almost as if Google might be beginning to understand if you run a company like Resetera then all that happens is grown men in diapers come crying to you when they notice their work colleagues watching and laughing at an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast.

Why would anyone, CEO of a company or not, ever wish to live like Resetera behaves?



Here's the Resetera response

Why would anyone want to work somewhere that behaves like Resetera? The staff slit each others throats the second there is a challenge for power. The owner is in hiding because he's scared of his own forum. The turnover is insane, in 2 years about 50 "mods and mod captains" have been blasted through.

Then there is the users, the employees. Constantly crying and asking for HR to ban absolutely everyone, even people on their own side. Pissing their pants at anything normal in life, from jokes, to fun, to speaking to other people with different views. Complete degeneracy all over the place, such as stanning for pedophilia. Creative freedom being restricted and just about anything having to be funnelled through the lunacy of Morrigan/Nepenthe.

None of these people seem to ever be able to self-reflect and understand the world is rejecting them as they are miserable and some of the worst human beings for anyone to be around, especially in a workplace. They're never happy, no one likes them and if we talk about employment these people usually work the least, complain the most and have a chip on their shoulder.

Still no stimulus money? You must use website tool by Wednesday or you’ll be waiting weeks longer, IRS warns.

Wtf? Is Google getting better?

Short answer no. But we are seeing a slow march to the realization that yes, getting woke and going broke go hand in hand and corporations are about to abandon that shit (almost certainly in favor of some even more evil form of deception).

Google also probably finally started to realize that some forms of "diversity," like troons, aren't just sub-par employees you hire out of affirmative action that aren't particularly useful, but you can afford, but they're actually a net negative. Not only are they completely worthless and unable to perform any useful work at all, but they actively attack and harass other employees, making it impossible even for their competent employees to get any work done.

We've been telling companies for years, especially in the games industry, when you hire people like this they cost you money, upset your staff and completely tank your PR image.

But the "journalists" keep covering for them, like how no one will cover Zoe Quinn stealing $80,000.

Incidentally this is almost certainly connected with them paying off Damore to go away and shut up forever. They almost certainly paid him a huge fuckton of money to go away. Probably some actual technical problem occurred and they didn't have a normal, sane, white male to fix it because they've driven them all off in favor of insane, incompetent troons, and someone with the power to do it said okay, it's time to right the course and knock this bullshit off.

 

[UnclePhil]

I dunno, maybe one of the biggest companies in the world, with products millions rely on—including Zoom for noninfectious gatherings—decided having a policy of "fuck white people" was a bad idea. REE believes their worldview is the only one that is True and Honest, and as expected they see the word 'conservative' and go bonkers.

It's also possible not everyone shares their mindset, that our views on the world are all subjective, and that believing a secret white brainwashing program exists shouldn't be mandatory. It's equally possible that sitting down for the corporate diversity training video, "What To Do When You're a Systematically Racist Piece of Shit" will at the very least cause some painful eye rolls in the auditorium.

If the news had been "Google no longer accepts 'tits' in its search engine" or "Google will require you to watch a video on diversity every time you check Gmail," REE's response would have been different.

At the end of the day real life isn't a Resetera forum. You cannot just work with people who think like you unless you run some small company and even then, no one is ever identical to anyone else.

It shows how indoctrinated these people are that they think their pursuit of a forum that is ideologically pure with themselves/the jannies can somehow be created in the real world. I guess it's why Resetera is most all of these people have and when the time for them to get banned by their own comes, they cry, send butthurt emails and beg for their accounts back.

Or if you are Larry and get banned for 30 minutes, you go onto discord, scream you are a tranny and demand whatever janny banned you immediately gets lynched like Royalan.

And the jannies wonder why the Resetera "staff" turnover is insane



And why Nepenthe wrote this woe is me faggotry

"A fool that said yes to volunteering"? Then fuck off then, stop acting a victim for moderating an internet forum.

Which was written before Nepenthe became an admin. A turnaround that came about because B-Dubs was outted as racist and needed to quickly find someone black to show he is PROGRESSIVE IN 2020.

And Nepenthe accepting being an admin shows that bullshit above was lies and all Nepenthe cares about is banning white people off a forum to feel "powerful". Because like many jannies/lolcows, she's a fucking narcissistic lunatic. Someone no one would like in a workplace.

All their "industry insiders" abandoned them as well. Absolutely no one likes this forum even if some devs and "journalists" still try to exploit the Resetera userbase as they have about 15,000-20,000 active accounts in one place.

There is now over 30,000 people following this account https://twitter.com/ReeraTakes



The person that runs the ReeraTakes account is actually pretty progressive, which must boil Resetera's blood. They'll want to call whoever it is a far-right Nazi killer and as usual, most of the people who make fun of this forum are on their "own side". At least politically. Lots of Dems will be mocking Resetera, because it's people like this that hurt your political chances.

Their own owner is in hiding. That shows you how unhinged this forum is. Most owners like to get involved in their creations or at least fake they care whilst counting the ad money made off of mental illness. Isamu just bailed after the troon genocide and left B-Dubs/John to damage control. His answer was making Nepenthe an admin as he was worried about his own image in the eyes of the lunatics

General Manager of Resetera.com, B-Dubs, is racist, sexist, transphobic, defends underage girls and a lot more.

It's all performative acting on this forum, done by some of the worst human beings on the planet. In of itself, funny to laugh at, but more annoying when companies providing us games or products bend the knee to these people. Then it starts to hurt normal people. Or if you have a Resetera poster in your workplace and HR doesn't just fire them, instead of trying to appease them, that's a pain in the ass.

If you want good examples of this, take what's happening with both Patreon and Kickstarter now.

So with Patreon, they let the 'woke' types to gatekeep on what content that they can or can't allow on their platform in order to try to please 1% of Twitter and now they're losing lots and lots of users over this. It started with them banning alt-right content creators and anime artists that did loli and shota art a few years ago and fast forward to now they're banning a lot of anime artists and even lots of non-anime artists as well over 'problematic' art. So with this now, a lot people are ditching Patreon for far better platforms and it's also pathetic to watch Patreon beg for the users they banned to come back and not even care that they screwed them over. A lot of people warned Patreon that it's going to haunt them eventually with the dumb censorship and as of now they have to lay off a lot of staff and losing lots of money because of their actions.

Now there is Kickstarter. By now everyone should know of what Kickstarter is because it used to be the largest crowdfunding website ever that is until that they decided to get 'woke' and gatekeep content to once again try to please 1% of Twitter. So if you've been following #ComicsGate in recent times, then you will know Kickstarter is suffering because they keep letting their own personal political beliefs get in the way of running their platform.

So overall, some companies will probably realize that getting 'woke' is a huge mistake and rollback the 'woke' crap but for others it's far too late now.

The jannies on this forum somehow manage to be 100x worse than NeoGAF. Even giving Besada and Bish a run for their money.

These people must be completely unable to live a normal life.

Coldsun is probably drinking himself to death just like Hecht. Humorless loser jannies that are tired and butthurt constantly when moderating this shithole.

 

[Metropolitan]

Last night there was a "Let's thank the moderators for the great job they do" thread. I subscribed, hoping to see it crash and burn with silent non-responses and backhanded compliments. I can't find it at all today -- it appears to have been completely nuked. Does anyone have pictures? Did I just dream it?

Did they just assume it was some kind of double-reverse troll? "Let's show the incompetence of the mods by inviting everyone to thank them, then have a laugh at the tepid response." Even I am unsure of the original message's sincerity.

 

[DriveByTrolling]

All is not well











Mr Skeletor is ColdSun.

WE'VE GOT A BADASS JANNY OVER HERE!

Must be why they banned everyone #BelievingWomen



How are these people found to moderate forums? They're all totally unhinged. Constantly abusing their "powers" and ranting about how people using a forum are lucky not to be permanently banned for the most insane shit



Jokes on a forum are serious business. Clearly it is downplaying genocide.

Except when it's Fat4All

You didn't expect the worst posters and jannies on Resetera just to be over-excited woke 20 year olds doing a social sciences degree?

Nah fam, they're all 30-40+ year old men screaming at each other, talking about how tired and depressed they are and in the case of Hecht, drinking himself to death.

Larry is 36. KSweeley is 34.

The ultimate losers and failures in life, yet they mock anyone who has fun with life and plays video games.
