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

If and when they do some investigative journalism they can flirt with relavence, Kotaku managed to do a pretty interesting article on Anthems problems
the problem is that for every sincere detached attempt to get to the root their's 10 other things written by patricia hermandez or nathan Grayson where do sophomore attempts attempts at intersectional analysis and that's before you start considering how they have a tendancy to pal around with hipster indie developers.
Even those kinds of pieces are suspect. If we're being generous, we can say that Jason did a good job. If we're being cynical though, those kinds of stories aren't far removed from the copy-paste press releases and reddit posts they usually do. It's entirely possible that companies put of "leaks" like that as a form of damage control. I've not read the full article, but from what I have read it's nu-bioware and EA blaming the old bioware approach to game development. You know, the outdated, inefficient methods that resulted in some of the best CRPGs of all time.

Just so you know, RedMercury is also disabled. Convenient timing with the exceptional craziness tearing up the games industry as we speak with everything needing Journalist Mode... because disabled people.

I'm tempted to make a list of all the things Red Mercury and all the other resetera members have claimed to be.

Wasn't Chris Evens #metoo'd? I remember hearing he was a womaniser despite being an outspoken feminist. Either way, he's going to get the Joss Whedon treatment if he does this show.

It actually reads like the typical "EA sucked out the studio's soul" story. The "old BioWare approach" is portrayed as a thing that worked, but fell apart when the talent left and EA forced Frostbite on everyone. Insert meme with game studio corpses in a ditch somewhere.

The torch didn't merely get fumbled in passing; it was actively launched as far away from nu-BioWare as possible. The studio that made all those legendary CRPGs died a long time ago. Anthem and Dragon Age 4 will simply put the zombie down, finally.
 
So apart from BronsonLee wanting to let the world know how much to hate him yesterday, SweetNicole also got dragged by the community and then bitched that much about it two topics got locked


The aftermath of these mods and admins fragility? Bans, bans, bans...

But the peasants are revolting against their North Korean overlords who cannot take a joke or criticism

718106

718113


718115



So all of PC Era is revolting against some power mad troon called SweetNicole who throws bitch fits and then uses admin force to silence dissent when it is shared.

This is such petty forum drama, but it's that much of a car crash between BronsonLee writing blog posts say's he's "intelligence gifted" and unstable troons being made admins/part-owners of a forum, you can't look away.

Why would you start a forum like this seeking to make some money and then put these people in control of it? A reminder, 7,000 bans now

It's "It's not my job to educate you shitlord!" applied to other topics. The forum has so much groupthink that mods don't think they need to explain their opinions and will ban you if you don't instantly know their drive by shitpost was actually a deep and nuanced discussion.

Aren't a lot of threads reaction threads? ?

I remember back during GamerGate where the left would call people "reactionaries". I know it was originally had a political meaning, but it got twisted into "anyone who reacts to anything ever". It didn't last for obvious reasons.

I wonder why they blocked you?

Is everything gamergate? ?

718242


The absolute state of people that find their way into outlets like Gameinformer and others.

718243


Oh look, it's another journalist who absolutely despises gamers, whilst claiming to be a gamer.

But should we be review bombing THQ for not being far-left enough? ?

Hey SweetNicole and BronsonLee, a games journalist is using his platform to harass a user on your forum because they dared to disagree with him. Are you going to do anything about it?

"Waaaaah, where is my Journalist Mode?! Throws toys"

Well this is how most cults eventually die.

Sooner or later, the members of said cult will begin to question the authority of the one(s) leading the cult and eventually it implodes. Seeing ResetEra starting to turn against the mods for being too power hungry is just a sign for things to come for this pathetic excuse of a video game forum.

It will no doubt then be followed up with pouting on Vice, Polygon, Kotaku, RPS, et al about how those dang dirty gamergaters infiltrated it and brought it down.

Question is, does it slowly bleed out, or does it implode from a "scandal" (AKA, failed coup) like NeoGAF did?

Most of the responces were some variation on the approved groupthink. "I used to watch hentai, but now it's too problematic".

Some users realised it was a dragnet.

But some still fell for it.

The cyclical nature of life is a marvel to behold. Shouldn't this be the part where we call gaming journos based and redpilled?

Well it's no surprise to see that ResetEra are not people of culture.

But all jokes aside, looking at the 'Yes' ratio only shows me that a good chunk of the online cult that is ResetEra doesn't even believe in their lefty beliefs of why they think pornography in general 'demeans' women.

This only proves me right that these hypocritical speds don't believe in their own shit and Sigmund Freud himself would have a field day with these losers.

That sounds like more of a TERF position than an intersectional one. It's more of a weird, contradictory "'sex work is empowering but cover up sexualized female characters" (Edit: It's a little vague what I meant here, the progressive position is like that and terfs are anti-porn more or less across the board)
