They also often throw in a 2 for 2-spirit, which is a Native American thing (or really, 'thing') that troons love to trot out.

Ironically, that shit is racist and cultural appropriation, and not only rips off but misrepresents the beliefs and practices of some (by no means all) Native Americans. Even where the concept does exist, it requires the tribe to acknowledge someone's status as such. This self-declaring bullshit wouldn't fly.

Guess what still has an article?

Look at the broken links.

Genuine question, did Era have any threads on recent stuff like the Twitlonger of the ex-Blizzard employee who was driven to attempt suicide by a woman?

I mean, I'd be surprised if they did given how they blow all their outrage out on Tim Soret all the time.

Yeah, they downplayed it, because of course they would. https://www.resetera.com/threads/ex...ils-his-terrible-time-with-the-company.92211/

Imagine being a pussywhipped beaner who doesn't even qualify as being oppressed enough to have the resetsquad rep for you.

Two of the voters in favor of deletion had "*gamer" in their names, interesting.

So were they defending REEEEE by deleting it because any article on it will turn into a cesspool of vandalism and general villainy, or are they gators who hate REEEEE and don't want it to have an article because they hate it?

I'm no expert on retard era but... I'm actually conflicted here. On the one hand, they are an exceptional forum with very little influence/pull on the industry at large, especially by contrast to NeoGAF in its heyday. On the other hand, they want to be... So really this deletion seems like either it's supporters or detractors could be equally likely to have done it... Wow, that's more fucked up then if you could point to one or the other really. :lol: resetERA:\.

The Google Cached version from earlier today doesn't look like it was vandalized: https://webcache.googleusercontent....a.org/wiki/ResetEra+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

It does however have a note on it:

The deletion note seems to have been there since the start of December.

The wayback machine's version from November is no different except that someone had updated the Alexa rank since then and put a citation on the first sentence: https://web.archive.org/web/20181124140233/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ResetEra

The ResetEra article has been surprisingly unmolested. Wikipedia is a shit show of inconsistency and hypocrisy. The deletionists won the battle against the inclusionists back in the day. Personally I think ResetEra is notable enough to have an article.

Meanwhile stuff like the Crash Override Network article still exists because of editors like PeterTheFourth, despite the subject of the article never existing in the real world to begin with.

It was semi-protected at some point, citing alleged vandalism, which considering the spergs of Wikipedia, could have just been truthful information about the site.

There was a thread complaining about it being vandalized back in August that was... of course... locked: https://www.resetera.com/threads/somebody-vandalized-the-resetera-wikipedia-page.65021/
A troll edited the ResetEra wikipedia page to say this:

The ResetEra forum is based on the XenForo forum platform.[3] Security has been an important focus of the forum's administrators and developers, in order to prevent anyone from interrupting the groupthink.

Within the first week, ResetEra had over 25,000 active members and over 300,000 posts.[4] and, on the day of august 25, of a joke by the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 there was over 100 bans on the thread alone. For reasons such as "trolling a sensitive thread", "Community hivemind trolling", "Equating rules against bigotry with bookburning", and "Inflammitory Drive-Buy."


How low do you have to be to do this? I'd edit it, but my IP address range has been recently blocked.

Credit to Era, most of the replies seem surprised that there even was a Wiki page or are joking about how "terrible" it is that someone would do such a thing.
