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

On a related note, their policy for punishing offenders is all over the map. They will burn people at the stake for certain offenses like violence advocating posts at one point, but they will otherwise not care elsewhere.

Unless it's punching a black guy in the face for supporting the President. Then it's "resistance" because that guy is literally oppressing them by disagreeing with them.
 
Though considering ResetERA, my ultimate question is why would anyone even want to be apart of a gaming forum that toxic?
You got me. Reddit, Gamefaqs, and even NeoGAF are far better alternatives for gaming forums. Those places can actually discuss games without the fear of getting banned for disagreeing with a mod's opinion about a game or person (Kingdom Come: Deliverance, for example, triggered the shit out of ResetERA's mods).

Yeah, not the repeat like a broken record, but this particular subject baffles me beyond throwing my hands in the air and just going "They must actually be of this worldview". When GAF was having its meltdown, migrants to other sites and forums thought every site that told them to keep the politics to themselves or fuck off was too far right or whatever. Literal nazi websites.

They WANTED this. They WANTED ResetEra. Now they have it, and some may love it, some may hate it and realize the mistake they made, but either way it's too late now. ResetEra is set in stone. It's a thing. And the people running it are crazy as fuck. Whoever is still sticking around either genuinely believes in some facet of it, or feels like they don't have a choice or it's ban time. I'd hate to imagine what it must feel like to feel stuck in ResetEra.
 
Why do so many people post there? I still don't understand this. An echo chamber of such magnitude should only result in a handful of regulars not counting the moderation. Gluttons for punishment.
You forget that the people who use ResetERA are the same people who think they're not even that radical, like they genuinely believe their haven is centrist. Sanity and ResetERA have never been on speaking terms.

These guys hate sexualized content in videogames and want it banned but lose their shit when right wingers are the ones to ban it instead of them.

I can't believe SweetNicole actually typed out What isn't okay is defending the exclusion of female characters on grounds of historical accuracy. https://www.resetera.com/threads/ba...ailer-october-19th.44454/page-20#post-8263557 (https://web.archive.org/web/2018052...d-v-reveal-trailer-october-19th.44454/page-20)

>we aren't messing around with the people trying to use their ignorance of history to defend their bigoted views
Well, it's nice to know they'll tone down their nonsense.

"Ignorance of history?" As far as female combatants in WWII goes, there were spies, Russian snipers (even then, only a limited number), and resistance fighters. It was never even close to the extent that Call of Duty WWII or Battlefield V portray.

It's OK to like the female soldiers, but it's not being ignorant of history to note how historically inaccurate they are.

You forgot about the Night Witches or the various Red Army tank commanders who were women. On a less salubrious note, there were female SS troopers guarding the concentration camps as well.

Still, the idea that WWII was a bastion of gender equality is a fiction.

PS. I really need to add a section to the bot where it just links everything SweetNicole posts, like a VIP section.

One of the things noted in George Orwell's 1984 was that the Party couldn't openly say they were demanding history be whatever they wanted it to be without exposing themselves as inconsistent and fallible, and thus that there was any version of the truth aside from their own, or they would render themselves impotent to be taken seriously.

This is just proof why that has to be the case.

Kingdom Come Deliverance excludes blacks due to historical accuracy, gets shit on.
Battlefield V has a chick shoved in, praised.

KCD was a AA title, a semi indie game. Middle shelf if you will. Battlefield is backed by Electronic Arts and therefore has lawyers and marketing.

Payola?
