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

The working at a Soup Kitchen Charity analogy...
Yep, with your Soup Kitchen King in the back swimming in dollar bills from his 500k Annual Salary, while you are volunteering.

These are the same people that would have an absolute break-down if a company started using fan assets for free.
Literally are people this Naïve? In the new-age can you just scam people out of money if you pretended to be the righteous ones?

Unpaid Internships should be illegal
Would you ever work for free

So if a black guy is conservative, he’s a coon/Uncle Tom. If he’s against racism against white people, he’s a cracker. If he doesn’t get a vaccine, he deserves to lose his job and go homeless. If he doesn’t accept trannies, he’s an angry bitter old man.

Are black people allowed to have any opinions on RetardEra? Seems like the only time they care about blacks is when they’re trannies or being killed by cops. And I wonder how many of them would change their tune on Saint Floyd if they found out he wasn’t wearing a mask.

If they want any opinions from these cattle, the white men in dresses will tell them what their opinions are. They need to know their place, stay on the plantation, and quit getting uppity. Massa will be along with their marching orders.
 
ahahahaha the dude who was arguing against allowing "cracker" to be used on the forum as Kyuuji and the other whites all tut-tutted him and insinuated he had white fragility turns out to be... black:

This whole thing has been hilarious, and representative of Resetera as a whole. You've got a bunch of white guys in dresses along with Nepenthe (the whitest black chick I ever heard of) shouting down a bunch of black dudes who disagree that Morrigan a white actual women (who is virtually indistinguishable from the men in dresses) should call a black guy a cracker.

Just demented in every which way.
Another is it's a deliberately losing purchase so they can establish a corporate monopoly over the whole "gaming forum" market, and don't really care if they fuck up one or more of the forums while doing that. Once they have that, and have integrated this into the rest of their network, they can decide which chunks of the userbase can be peacefully sunsetted.
This is what I am thinking. People have been floating the idea that GAF is possibly in discussions for sale as well. Why buy up all these other shit properties that MOBA owns without a larger plan in the works.

Maybe they are trying to convert them into mobile pay-to-play addicts. Their consoomer tendencies would suggest that's not going to be hard.

It's not just black people, either. Everyone has to have these nebulous, contradicting stances that are impossible to keep up with. They change day to day with the winds. What was okay yesterday might be haram when you log in today. You get all these normies who only show up twice a year to read news about a game they like, then post some innocuous thing only to catch a permanent ban as a "troll account in junior phase".
You forgot this gem
IDK how I missed that one, it could be the funniest of them all.
 
Some random thoughts about the sale:

1. Resetera Community's worth - my guess is that the amount of money earned isnt from traffic alone, but also from engagement with ads and even amount of sales. The mad userbase of Resetera is really prone to spend money on CONSOOMING. I have no idea how stupid Kofi for few hours of insane janny brought them to spend as much as 1000$ (by her own statement) , but this is easily good example showing how quick they are to spend money on almost everything. If I were selling ads, this community would be worth its weight in gold. And I am guessing many of its members have quite a lot of weight...

2. No one really cares that the mods were not paid (!!!) - I know that is where the "discourse" was taken. But just like in many cases, this is a symptom of the real thing that bothers them. Not the source. The issue here is that this sale "unveiled the matrix" even if for a few seconds. A good idiom in life is to remember always that if something is offered for free, you are the product. And successful services succeed in hiding that truth behind all kind of bells and whistles to "keep the product happy". But here, suddenly, not only they got exposed in one simple act of sale as the cattle for bargain, they got to see the price tag. They got to see one man just selling them like m,eat in the market and not looking back. They finally saw that in the grand scale of things, all their worth is money to this one rich grifter and now they are the same for some foreign corporate which dosent give a single shit about their ideas. All their "ideaology", their "actiivism" (LOL), their insane raging battles and drama that causes jannies to be hospitalized all have one single price tag and that price tag does not go to any of their causes but to the rich people and capitalists running everything there. Economy 101 class.

3. So why talk about the mods at all? - Because the system is the system. They cant really fix it. Its futile. Like those morons all those years ago trying to ban Facebook using Facebook group to coordinate. They claim being lied to, but no one explicitly lied to them. It was very convinient to believe that Resetera bneeds the money, The same way they believe that Activision and co need their money from the Microtransactions. No one needs them, they are extras. They are nothing at all. Just pocket change. So in order to have any talking point about anything that they might have any influence on, they speak about the mods. The closest thing they have in the community to the people that actually earn the money. But they (and some of them even stated as much) dont care about the specific mods being mistreated, they just want their "values and ideas" to get some worth. Some recognition. People who workj hard to enforce the Reardera ideaology on the users should have some of the money earned because what they do is important! The mods getting nothing is a proof that the ideaology and ideas and everything that creates their own dramas dont mean squat. The only worth they have is in their clicking on ads and spending money. Their content could be air for all MOBA and Isamu care.

4. And the mods? They are just afraid that if these screeches get up and run, they will be hel accountable and replaced by paid company moderators. So they have to shill for their seller and their buyers. Nepenthe was al;so somehow smart enough to grift some money in the process. I want to punch this Janny in the face every time I read messages about it, but in the end, good for him/her/it/xit. Get that money from those stupid enough to pay. Pay it for charity ("I am poor so spending it on me is charity!") or whatever. Its either goes to you or that Neon Captain America costume in the Marvel Avengers game. Pathetic either way.

This is the most autistic I have ever been on this site. So please forgive me for the rambling. Sometimes old men like me just need to rammble freely.
 
It shouldn't be surprising that the mods are all retards and not just because >lol all mods are retards.
The site was a grift and from the pool of everyone who could and would want to be a mod, the owner chose the ones most suitable for his intentions.
Keep in mind these mods weren't randomly drawn from a hat, they're all in the positions they're in for reasons.
 
I apologise if I'm late with this observation but does every single poster on ResetERA type like they've got a dick in their ass and twelve in their mouth? Is it part of the T&Cs or something?
You mean the endless whinging and whining interspersing the consumerist intellectualizing? It's a result of taking a pool of GAFers and then putting them through successive rounds of selective elimination over several years until only the most insufferable survive.

Mainly the way everything needs to be a novella of 20-dollar words and flowery metaphors. It's like an entire forum of MovieBobs.
 
How does a site that's only managed 700K in a year end up selling for 4.5 mil I'm certainly no math genius but something definitely seems afoot.

Nah.

700k a year in ad revenue run by a bunch of incompetent culture warriors can easily be better monetized.

And imagine how much ad revenue will go up when MOBA cuts down on the rampant toxicity that drives people away.

They monetize it, run it a few years getting better than 700k a year return, then sell it for 6 million.

Or maybe Isamu is thinking a few steps ahead of them, knows it was doomed, and decided to cash out at the highest value it will ever be. MOBA is apparently heavily into esports and I'm not sure how people who don't play games and hate the people who make them and whose main activity is running unhinged hate and boycott campaigns against the companies that make the games MOBA players are into.

Honestly they could be just buying it to shut it down or defang it. Either way Isamu makes out. But imagine Isamu sells out high, then lets MOBA do what it wants to get rid of the toxic elements and take the blame for it, and this damages its value enough that Isamu gets to buy it back for pennies and these tards will greet him as a savior.

Or they're buying it to try and bulk up their own profile to claim to investors they are "bigger" than they appear. Their own sites are pretty poorly designed and the CEO seems like a dodgy fucker who's fleeced people previously with low-reputation gambling sites.

Either way Resetera is going to end up an even bigger dumpster and it will be enjoyable to watch. Especially as those unpaid tranny jannies are still furiously licking Isamu's boots whilst he's already on a flight somewhere for a vacation. Thanks for the millions, Nepenthe! Rent free!

It may as well be. Their opinions and behavior are horrific enough, and their attitude towards dissenters (on and off the site) is sociopathic, but what really puts these lunatics over the top is just how smug and arrogant they all are. All of them, without exception.

Each of them is the hero of their own story (a common human condition on its own), but each is also the most abused, disenfranchised, oppressed, powerless, put-upon, beaten down, trodden on person on earth, which is purposely designed to persecute them in particular with laser precision. Every action ever taken on this earth is a "fuck you in particular" aimed squarely at them. Every word ever uttered or written in their presence (whether aimed at them or not) is carefully crafted to be the most insulting, hurtful and oppressive thing ever written by a human being, specifically tailored to harm them in particular. Personally. Individually. By name. With complete hatred and pure malice the sole motivators for the actions and words. Dog whistles and hidden subtexts are everywhere. No action or statement is ever benign, beneficial, helpful or motivated by kindness, love or genuine care.

They are each also the smartest, strongest, kindest, wittiest, best educated, and the most enlightened, clever, knowledgeable, experienced, generous, humble and "impervious" to adversity person who has ever lived. They are functionally perfect and have perfect knowledge of the absolute truth of all things. That perfect knowledge (and their possession of it) is of course immediately obvious to anyone who isn't stupid, and dissent is incontrovertible proof of absolute evil and overt hostility. They immediately see through every ruse, recognize every dog whistle and subtext for what they are, decipher every comment and action to reveal the underlying hate that motivated them, identify all the harm everyone and everything has ever done (and is currently doing) to them and peer directly into anyone's soul to know their true motives, secrets and weaknesses better than they do. They see it all and cannot be harmed by it.

They rise to every occasion, meet every challenge head-on, routinely elicit loud applause by commoners for their powerful actions in public and never buckle under pressure no matter how severe. They have never been bested and every time someone has ever tried to oppose, oppress or hurt them in some fashion (which happens constantly), they stand up for themselves and always vanquish the aggressor with ease. They could fix all the world's problems overnight if they were put in charge and given free reign to rewrite every law, redraw every border, redistribute all the wealth and purge all the undesirables (and burying them in shallow unmarked graves, since they deserve no respect or mercy). The only reason they haven't is they just don't feel like it right now. Soon, though.

They're also terrified to so much as leave their homes because of all the vicious oppression that awaits them in the world. Police frighten them. Their families (who typically provide free lodging, food, internet and emotional/financial support) hate them. Their friends all secretly plot against them and/or aren't nearly as innocent as they seem. The few who hold jobs (and are, naturally, the best, smartest, most efficient and most valuable worker in the company who routinely saves the company from ruin by fixing others' mistakes and doing things so much better than everyone else) endure endless harassment in the office at the hands of the most hateful, incompetent and malicious coworkers, managers and owners imaginable. Anyone they don't know personally is an -ist and -phobe, not to be trusted and likely an active oppressor waiting to pounce at the slightest provocation.

Their preferred environments -- the enlightened, curated internet sites where all -ists and -phobes are instantly banned; "safe spaces" -- are all filled with -ists and -phobes (despite all the bans) who constantly attack them (personally and directly) from every possible direction via every available mechanism, and there is no escape, no refuge, no respite. They are deeply wounded by this endless onslaught. Weakened. Depressed. Exhausted from the constant vigil they must maintain for their own literal safety. In fear for their very lives. Carrying on even the most simple conversation is nigh impossible with the infinite army of trolls waiting to pounce on their every post to dissect their every word to look for excuses to attack them. There is no respite. The mods (who constantly ban people for -isms and -phobics) aren't doing enough to get rid of the -ists and -phobes and are certainly secretly complicit in allowing such rampant abuse to continue.

Despite this, their safe spaces are the finest places on the internet, filled with the best people they've ever known (not as good as themselves, of course, let's not go nuts here) and are the only places they've ever felt welcomed, comfortable and safe. They know they can confide in their friends, admit any problems they're having to solicit valuable advice, and they know they can regale them all with their completely accurate and not at all exaggerated tales of triumph over adversity at the upscale coffee shop, Apple store, upscale bookstore, upscale grocery store, pharmacy and other horrific dens of hatred they're forced to frequent. They know they'll always have the full support of everyone there, and the rare negative remark will be swiftly punished by the mods who love them and the safe spaces they moderate.

They are truly God's -- er, excuse me, science's -- greatest gift to mankind. Their mere presence raises up any place they deign to visit or inhabit. Simply being noticed by them is an incredible privilege. Being paid a compliment by them is a fucking earth-shattering, life-changing experience guaranteed to make things better for you.

They believe all of these things to be true simultaneously despite the obvious contradictions, and they act like it. Everything they ever post is perfect, correct, accurate, honest, powerful, benign, loving, kind and the best possible thing to say at that moment. Seemingly harsh comments that appear to have been posted in anger are simply "tough love," posted with genuine care and affection. Even when they post an apology later on and walk back something they've posted previously, they're just showing mercy and humility like any good messiah would; what they previously posted is still perfect -- you just misinterpreted it and took it too personally.

The result is the stick-up-their-ass posting style you describe. Because they are each the (sole) hero of their own epic story, everything is dramatic and traumatic, triumphant and defiant, heartbreaking and crippling, brilliant and subtle. Nothing in their world is mundane. Nothing they have to say is anything less than the most important thing anyone has ever heard in the history of mankind. You are blessed by their presence and their words, and your every misstep will be called out every time because it must be. How else can you know you have to do/be better? Dealing with you at all is a painful chore and you should feel grateful they bother with you in the first place.

And they make sure to remind everyone of this at every fucking opportunity by writing in the snobbish, perpetually-wounded, passive-aggressive asshole style they're constantly refining in collaboration with their like-minded perfect beings over on Twitter.

There's a really special pathology at work in people like this and I'm really looking forward to the time when something else has become fashionable and unquestionable and the psychologists can finally have a chance to study, analyze and document this major disorder without being canceled.

Outrage by some troons is always something everybody enjoys once in a while. When all of them get banned from the site because of their stupid rhetoric over the years, that's going to be something I look forward to.

you can accuse them of the REAL RACISTS all you want but in the end, its only a tool used to demonize white people

Have you been paying any attention? No of course not because you don't do that because you're fucking dumb. They ban any blacks who don't toe the line instantly.
