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

These types of discussions about diversity and inclusion always go over my head. I've never bought a video game and gave a second thought about the race or gender of a main character. I don't understand anyone who would. Such as men who think twice about buying a novel if they see it's written by a female author. Who gives a shit? Who even thinks about this stuff?

Also wow, how the fuck is that guy still a mod? ResetEra admins done lost they minds.
 
If it was any other site, I'd say that's a respectable suggestion. For them? I have a feeling it's just a direct link to the DNC website.

It's the noble thing to do.

Morrigan sounds like Moviebob long lost sister

"Pro civil rights" ... except for those dirty cis het white guys.
"Pro universal healthcare" ... except that it ends in rationing, and guess who's getting the short end of the stick?
"Pro science" ... except when it doesn't agree with social justice and progressive thought. Lysenkoism ahoy!

How do these people survive?

Never stepping out of their bubble and wailing like banshees all the time to cover the sounds and facts of the outside world

I think it's dumb to assume cis white guys have any kind of civil rights issues that need addressing, universal healthcare in every other first world nation has not led to anything that could be considered rationing, and pro science is just that - science has no politics. The metals are the metals and all that.

I hate to take the side of ResetEra here but, cmon, get serious.

Gender based insurance premiums
Discrimination in higher education, and government hiring

Stop doing the sneering elitist thing, you're not nearly smart enough for it.
 
attempted derail to relitigate 2016 Democratic primary

It's like they tried to sound smart and use a word they just learned, but they messed it up.

They go on to talk tough to a man who was banned. Even if he wasn't when those replies were posted, they must have known he was going to be banned as soon as he expressed an opinion not in line with the mods.

The "It's not a trial, it's a job interview" argument is a strange one to use as an anti-Kavanaugh argument, because any accusation that isn't directly related to his ability to do the job doesn't matter. If someone is accusing him of a crime, that's up to the law to decide.
 
Just because it's one group does not make it okay, it still means kill babies regardless.

People probably who think gaming must be a thing of white guys because it isn't diverse enough, even though it seems like they focus too much on games that seem to be only mainstream titles most people would hear of.

It's not as if schools have a strict limit to how many white people can be there, or any huge prominent tech companies have open policies of not hiring white men. It's not like a college recently allowed all the white students to be forcibly kicked off campus, and white faculty kidnapped. It's not as if people get censored for complaining about the extreme difference in moderation of conservative vs liberal viewpoints...

Really. Science is just science, and you're taking Reset Era's side on it. Where you get banned for discussing actual science about trans issues, and have to go with the completely unscientific narrative from the trans community instead.
Science has no politics? You are insane if you think that. Facts may be facts, but what tests are performed, what studies are funded are completely based on politics. If there are 100,000 studies on how humans are causing global warming, and only 1 study on whether maybe humans aren't causing it, it doesn't even matter what the results of those studies are. Just having them at all makes one seem far more valid than the other, and also means more material to advance that argument. Even if it's not true. (Please excuse the specific scientific issue here, I'm just using it as an example)

You have to understand how woke black people and their white allies think. If a black woman’s garbage sci-fi book doesn’t sell or can’t be published then it must be due to racism and sexism. What other reason could there be? Surely it has nothing to do with the story being terrible or the poor writing.

These people think black people shit gold and if they’re not making money or not represented enough then it must be due to the ‘isms.

I never gave a second thought to the sex of the protoganist in a game or book nor the race. I still don’t but I do avoid books now by shithead woke authors.

I do, but it's mostly because I've been noticing a pattern. Thank God for Youtube and book preview sites. I do whitelist authors or developers that buck the trend, though.

Hell, I bought a book about a sniper and it was the cringiest right wing shit I've ever read. Started out strong, too. Of course, that was back before ISIS became a thing and now I'm aware of their kind of shenanigans so the book actually pales in comparison of what's in it to what those freaks do now. Funny that. Still won't pick up a book from the guy because: fool me once, shame on me... fool me twice, I shoot your face off. I don't like jail.
