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

[Denmark Mafia]

The vast majority are complete fakes like Lamptramp, just doing it online for attention, and are fat dudes with beards in reality.

 

[AnOminous]

But...No matter what way this latest dumpster concludes, all the users are still gonna be totally unhappy. Why? Because nothing being fought over here is going to measurably improve their lives.

As with most cows, being Reetards and troons is both their crime and their punishment.

 

[kaien]

I think that if the troon squad left, Resetera would collapse soon after.

Like I say, if the trans contingent ever actually left, it would probably deal a fatal blow to Era's branding. If ResetEra is no longer the safest space for the wokest gamers, it isn't anything at all. It's the GameFAQs boards. But the thing is, they'll never leave unless someone makes them leave. They don't want their own space. They want to run everyone else's space.

 

[Long Tongue Silver]

I've been thinking about how it all works:
The worst people leave Neogaf to form Resetera. NeoGAF becomes a reasonable place and Resetera is a hell hole.
If the troons and their closest allies left Resetera to found a new forum, would it happen again? My thoughts are that it wouldn't, because the most reasonable people are still back at NeoGAF, and few of them stuck around in Resetera. It might have worked that way near Resetera's beginning, but over the last few years they've distilled the place down to just the crazies. I think that if the troon squad left, Resetera would collapse soon after.

IMHO I doubt it. They know full well there are no other places for them that aren't already tightly-regulated echo chambers or practically dead and dying. No one would give a shit if they fucked off to Twitter. The troons and crazies would just commence to cannibalizing each other on any ResetERA offshoot they create.

So the troons and terminally woke are playing for keeps, this time. What they really want is for senpai Fukui to finally notice them and for him and the rest of the forums to publicly bend the knee forever.

I was playing Cyberpunk last night, and a pair of pants glitched and gave my V a vag instead. Unfortunately I foolishly failed to take a picture, because I'm retarded.

This game should be a trannies wet dream! SRS as easy as changing pants!

Not good enough unless your character walks around pantsless with a dilator shoved in their stinkditch.

"B-b-but muh trans objectification!! It also said that not all cops are bastards so that clearly means that CDPR want to genocide all transgenders!"

 

[Coccxys]

Going back to the root of all the trans sperging at the jannies. That ban message "user doesn't want to be here anymore" is the impression I get from that post. The tyranny squad is either too autistic to get the meaning or deliberately refusing to get the meaning so they can sperg some more.

 

[GrimPortents]

NeoGAF allows shitposting and trolling now. You can even say tranny/troon. Unthinkable on old GAF. Even console wars are tolerated. It's much more sincere than the constant shilling/concern trolling that people are doing on Era to not get banned. Obvious shills are just laughed at and ignored. Who would have thought that relaxed jannies bring better discussions and a more positive atmosphere.

What fucking timeline am I in?

 

[Ashen One]

So Hobbes ended up making two posts on the neogaf thread about resetera.

ResetEra Discussion -- Stay civil. Don't get personal. Keep it in here.

I read that as "short teen ban" and thought you were making a pedoera joke. Lol nah, on mobile and crappy text prediction :)

The amount of people patting Hobbes in the butt and saying "You're doing great sweetie" after he only went there to say he was not gonna participate on GAF because "staying in the high horse is his personality" is amazing.

But those posts are boring so here are the ones I liked shitting on him:

And that old adage about fools and their money:

 

[cantankerous jackalope]

Resetera made it clear if you simply post on NeoGAF you're a Nazi, so, overnight Hobbes has turned into a Nazi.

Might be good if Hobbes had a moment of self-awareness in his life when he gets cast out of the cult of Resetera and branded a Nazi, but probably not. He'll just grovel and beg for his Resetera account back in the coming months.

And back to your daily insanity. Remember, AJAB.

#AllJaniesAreBastards

This is a dialogue choice line that helps you define what your character says and is completely optional, just like how you can choose to make your mass effect character a total bastard. I've said it before and I'll say it again, these guys have some very weird fetish with being outraged. Like they get a weird sertonin boost every time they find something they're offended by. It's so fucking bizarre but like the thousands of people lurking this thread with every update it's just so fundamentally interesting to watch people actually behave like this. These people are mentally broken in like battered wives and have been conditioned to feel pleasure on some level every time they're victimized - except in this case its far less tragic because they just keep coming back to the toy that's making them angry.

I finally understand the zoo comparison.

I will weigh in on this though - accepting these people back into good graces is a colossal mistake considering if they didn't fall out of favor with the hivemind they would be happily cheering on your cancellation, harassment, or bullying you into suicide like my late man Etika. People like that - and the people that fall for this kind of stuff - just can't fundamentally be trusted. They're hide a darkness within themselves that is just as bad as the worst people on 4chan and will 100% be swept up in the next trendy shit that makes it socially acceptable to destroy people for wrongthink. Accepting these people back on GAF (or even here, although that surely was a meme) like nothing ever happened is a big mistake.

Evilore may be a pathetic cuck of an admin but for him to speak up against prominent smug Era tards is great.

Hobbes:
Ultimately, I disagree that Era doesn't want to chat about games or have a good time. Era wants to be a place where being critical and highlighting those issues doesn't get swept under the rug or dismissed, and that's an important space to have, because at the end of the day - We all want to be heard when we think we have something good to share.
Also Hobbes:
Respectfully, internet forums just aren't fun to be on... I'm not gonna spend the time to defend my point of view, nor do I necessarily care to persuade anyone to "my side."

Has anyone ever used so many words to say absolutely nothing by contradicting yourself twice? He must be amazing in the office because I don't know how anyone this incompetent and tone-deaf can survive in a corporate job without getting themselves shitcanned in under a month.

Just a reminder of what Denny Kovacs Jr./Hobbes looks like, and that he's a self-admitted faggot that still wants kids someday. You will never ever be a janny and you will never ever get to ban others for wrongthink lmao

I can't believe there's so many trans people. I'm in my late 20s and have been to both an Arts School and a Law and Business University and have never once met or come across a transgendered person. Yet I come online and they're fucking everywhere? Do they just not have jobs or school to deal with? Maybe I don't pay enough attention to the people around me but the way they act online makes it hard to believe I wouldn't immediately notice them in real life.

I cruised the data in our LGBT Kiwi thread here once and while not everyone visits that part of the site or is necessarily truthful, we had 20 posters identifying as trans; 3 MtF and 8 FtM, with the rest preferring not to say.

Spotify is running ads for Black Girl Magic at the end of some of their bigger podcasts atm. Might be something worth looking into for laughs since it's getting Alphabet/corporate sponsorship.

 

[Sheepfucker]

Afraid I don't agree with you there.

It's competent world building. In a world where people modify their bodies as often as we buy a new suit, there are going to be a lot of transsexuals. Hell, given how easily they could reverse the process, some of them are just curious about what sex is like in the other halfs' body. Not having it would feel a bit odd.

IIRC, it was even in the original tabletop game.

Fair point. You've changed my mind!

 

[Ctrl+Alt+Rt]

Is that a word for that, where responding to abusive criticism just proves you're guilty of the thing their accusing you of? Like, in Latin or something?

Probably related, but not exactly what I was thinking. Less "if you deny an accusation, that proves it's true" and more "if you respond to abuse, that proves you deserved it".

Ex post facto justification.

It's also not just the tabletop game, but it's a staple of the entire genre (including Shadowrun and Deus Ex, most notably).

The entire genre is an examination of "if you can change anything about you - how do you determine who you really are? At what point are you just a machine, or someone else entirely?"

Maybe I don't pay enough attention to the people around me but the way they act online makes it hard to believe I wouldn't immediately notice them in real life.

There really aren't that many trans people. Legitimately trans, that is. They're a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population both in the United States and throughout the world. I define "legitimately trans" as a person who is actively seeking treatment (of some kind -- not necessarily surgery, but maybe therapy or medication) for gender or body dysmorphia and is either making an active effort to present and live as their "preferred" sex or making an active effort to treat and manage their dysmorphia so they can live a normal life as their physical gender. These people are rare, quiet, non-confrontational and go to great lengths to conform with the social norms expected of their preferred gender, or their physical gender if they're trying to treat the dysmorphia psychologically or medically (without surgery). They don't screech for attention, whine about oppression or even make a fuss over themselves. Apart from the mental illness of dysphoria, they're relatively normal, sane people. That's why we don't notice them.

There's a whole metric fuckton of trenders and posers, though. Ever since gay marriage was legalized by the Supreme Court half a decade ago, homosexuals have essentially been "demoted" on the progressive stack and, arguably, have had their victim cards collectively revoked by the woke crowd. All the same kinds of "protections" and outrage on behalf of the oppressed that used to benefit homosexuals have all shifted onto the trannies instead. So all sorts of "genderfluid" morons, special snowflakes and straight up grifters have all transitioned (heh) into transtrending. Most have no intentions to transition, get therapy or take hormones. Some make piss-poor attempts to dress up and roleplay like the opposite sex, but some are brazen enough to make no physical changes at all while still demanding people treat them as their preferred sex anyway. Jake Alley is a great example -- he's fat, has male pattern baldness and has a grey beard six inches or longer. He wears men's clothing, doesn't wear makeup, speaks with his normal male voice, and lives as a male. Yet he calls himself "transgender" and gets upset when people "misgender" him.

Trenders have figured out that all they have to do to claim the "protected status" afforded to trannies by the woke crowd is to simply state they are trans. The woke crowd will defend them against all criticisms, including pointing out the obvious, calling all of it "transphobic" and calling for people's jobs and heads.

ResetEra is a perfect illustration of this. I guarantee you there's only a handful of legitimately trannies on the site (my guess would be five or so, if that) and the rest are (as we've already seen revealed on several occasions) dumb angry white men larping as trannies because it makes them impervious to criticism or rebuke there. They can misbehave all they want and say all the nasty shit they want, and the rest of the site has to sit there and take it with a shit-eating grin lest they offend the "trannies" and they get the mods involved. The mods hate the trannies too, but as we've seen in the past few days, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Keep them around, and they'll keep dragging the site down. Kick their asses to the curb, and they'll scream "transphobia" to anyone who will listen. Given that even now, nobody actually listens to them besides the peanut gallery (e.g. us), I'd argue that's a risk worth taking and the mods would be much better off banning every tranny participating in this meltdown and anyone who takes their side and complains about it.

This is happening online so much more than IRL simply because they can maintain their illusion much more easily online. IRL, ain't nobody with a beard and a deep voice tricking or convincing anybody around them that they're really a woman. It just isn't happening. They know it, we know it, everyone knows it. It's been said this sort of thing "shatters the illusion" and causes a narcissistic injury, so the trenders avoid it as much as possible.
