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

[Drain Todger]

If this isn't the perfect illustration of why people hate SJWs, I don't know what is.

They just want to grill talk about a video game, for god's sake.

SJWs be all like, "Waaaaaaaaaaaah! This work of fiction has one or more of the FORBIDDEN THEMES in it! WAAAAHHHHHH!"

I've been trying to talk sense into these nutcases for eight years. No luck. It's as if they don't comprehend the concept of what fiction is. They bitch about everything. They bitched about the rape scene at the start of Goblin Slayer. These morons actually believe that depiction equals endorsement, and they can't be persuaded away from that point of view.

According to SJW brainwashing, all works of fiction are part of an interlocking system of oppression and indoctrination, so it's important that fiction only contains messaging that they find positive. It would be one thing if they said "Oh, it's not to my own personal taste", like an actual critic might, but that isn't enough for them. They don't want anyone else to be able to enjoy the things that they hate.

You know how they always use that mantra "the personal is political", right? Imagine being such a collectivist drone that you envision everything people do - even things done in the privacy of one's own home, like reading a book - as having a collective, societal impact. The idea that everyone is responsible for themselves as individuals does not exist in the SJW's head. In SJW doctrine, if you like consuming fiction that has "bad themes" in it, you're somehow harming other people, hence their crusade to sanitize fiction of themes and tropes they don't like.

Of course, to anyone with half a brain, this is complete bullshit.

"Black Chamber got off so easily"
He's been perma banned. What else do they expect the mods to do?

Obviously, he got off easy being perma'd because they needed to arrange a full-on struggle session and wring as much remorse out of him as they could, first.

I still don't get the rage for this Cyberpunk game. I keep seeing it called transphobic/racist/etc. but I haven't seen anyone follow that up with the reasons why. This isn't just over that in-game, over sexualized corporate ad that was supposed to be like real-life over sexualized corporate ads, right?

Ironically, Cyberpunk 2077 has a trans character. Claire, the bartender at the Afterlife and occasional street racer, is trans, and her truck even has a trans pride flag on the back.

Imagine whining this hard about a game that basically kisses your ass.

So do you think REEtardEra celebrates Christmas or is that too white colonial for them?

They celebrate Christmas the same way they boycott Cyberpunk 2077. They'll make a big stink about it but they still expect gifts.

They celebrate Christmas the same way they boycott Cyberpunk 2077. They'll make a big stink about it but they still expect gifts.

and on Christmas Eve this message, as they secretly hope beyond hope for something to happen IRL:

because by this point they've driven away their RL friends and family and have only their internet 'allies' and fellow lunatics to commiserate with...which only proves to them that they were right about being oppressed and thus must REEEEEE even louder.

 

[AnOminous]

I think Reeera is one tranny meltdown away from another forum split, so long as the jannies don't immediately get routed and surrender to the tranny terms.

RetardEra needs to concede completely and turn the reins over to a 100% tranny mod team. This absolutely has to happen.

more than half? yikes, not a good look

The most fascinating thing about ResetEra to me is the silent majority that votes in these polls. There have been a fair few where the polls go against the Era party line. How many normies lurk there? And why?

The best part is how it feeds their paranoia of a secret, shadowy web of invisible nazis suffusing every nook and cranny of the internet. My prediction? Only a matter of time before transEra demands the ability to see how users voted in polls.

It really makes me wonder if a large part of that site doesn't involve politics at all. I don't interact with that site other than this thread, so I wouldn't know, but it shows that the less interesting parts of the site probably are inhabited by people who really do just talk about videogames, but with a progressive/left leaning slant to the discussion like what happened with the recent Cyberpunk2077 debacle and how many people were ready to talk about it without the stupid "transphobia" horseshit involved.

 

[Judge Dredd]

see how long you can last!

2 paragraphs.
"Cyberpunk, that trash-ass game!"

The language they use in discussing this insignificant internet drama on a somewhat niche forum as if we're talking about some catastrophic breakdown in diplomatic relations between major world powers is amazingly entertaining; like some janny sailed an aircraft carrier into the demilitarized zone and there is the threat of all-out war between the former and the TransEra troons.

"Insignificant internet drama"? This is ResetEra, the single largest gaming forum, directing the tastes and opinions of the largest entertainment format in the world, and thus the cultural development of that planet! -what I imagine some Era posters believe.

First discord grooming groups, now discord coup groups.
What the fuck is next?

Discord groups for discussing games?

I think most of those are made up for oppression points.

The part about transphobia makes that obvious. Unless they are in highschool right now, no one would've know what troons were 10 years ago.

These morons actually believe that depiction equals endorsement, and they can't be persuaded away from that point of view.

Except they don't think that way when it's something they like. I've not read handmaiden's tale, but isn't that a sexist dystopia? They love that book and don't try and get it censored under the same logic.

 

[DriveByTrolling]

Stolen from GAF, from Hecht in the hidden community feedback thread on why they won't add likes/reactions:
View attachment 1809384

Hecht trying to be Besada 2.0 and instead he just comes across as a bitter alcoholic unpaid janny.

Maybe if Hecht could spend some time with friends rather than the bottle he wouldn't be such a miserable faggot.

Beyond sexist. Ever read a plot summary?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid's_Tale

It was written by a woman, in the first-person POV of Offred, so that makes it a story drawn from “lived experience”. If it was written by a man, then it would’ve been a misogynistic post-apocalyptic hell world fantasy.

Yes, that’s the full extent of SJW logic. Stories aren’t a product of human imagination, but merely reports, or autobiographies. According to their doctrine, you can’t be sure of a story’s authenticity unless the identity of the author matches the identity of the protagonist. Only women can write about what it’s like to be a woman. Only black people can write about what it’s like to be black.

Never mind that people can do things like basic research, or use their imagination to fill in the gaps. It’s more important that “marginalized voices” are heard.

This whole notion of certain people having more valid voices than other people directly contravenes one of the most basic elements of Enlightenment-era thinking, which is the level playing field; the idea that the author of a text is irrelevant to what that text actually means. If two people say the same thing, their identity doesn’t really matter. See how SJWs have co-opted the language of science to try and make it so that everyday speech and writing that have nothing to do with scientific research are a matter of academic authority? This is because it supports their medieval viewpoint.

Is the Resetera/Tumblr movement going to disintegrate any time soon like the Internet Atheist movement in the 2000s or are they here to stay? I never thought I'd look back on Bush-era America as the calm before the storm.

Oddly enough Tumblr for the most part has calmed down in the last year or so, or at least it's far more insular than it was to the point where you have to go actively looking for it to find it rather than it just appearing unwanted on your dash. Seems people have finally started to realize they can't delete evidence of their bad posting once someone reblogs it.

Reeeeera though will probably go through one more offsite migration before it goes terminal and collapses.

The hellspawn refugees of TroonEra congregated in a new forum...
That's probably worse than every single atrocity going off simultaneously.

It's probably because they banned porn so all the whack jobs moved to Twitter.

I don't see Isamu letting his cash cow get steered into a brick wall. If anything, he'll purge every single tranny, jannies and all, if it meant preserving the easiest and most lucrative source of income he has.

 

[AnOminous]

The why is what really gets me. Why the fuck would anyone normal put up with such a complete shithole?

It's hilarious how the troons put up with being on a site run by some chink who is an even bigger shitlord than Tyler Malka, who doesn't even pretend to care about their issues.

 

[draggs]

If ReetardEra wants to be a truly safe space, it's pretty simple.

To create an account, you must not only use a non-commercial email, you also have to submit a video or picture of yourself murdering a TERF, preferably a lesbian, and definitely must be white. A heterosexual white male is also acceptable. With verification of course. Piece of paper with date, real name, and the ReetardEra username you want.

Retroactive too, naturally. If you want to keep your account, get those flaying knives sharp and stay on the lookout for easy white TERF or white male targets.

Then transphobEra will finally end.

They put up with the same treatment from their own government/political party/corporate overlords so I don't see why they'd change for this.

 

[Figger Nucker]

I guess "industry insiders" hang around ResetEra. Lurking on RetardEra can't be that draining and you only have to pay attention to the info you want.

I wish I had a Resetera burner account just so I could post this completely unironically there......and see how many people agreed with the concept, if not the full implementation before the hammer came down.

As late as 10 years ago, if you said in the future every aspect of pop culture caters to a growing fad of people who mutilate their genitals with surgery and hormones, no one would believe you.

All that Back to the Future predicted was that people would wear their jeans inside out.
