Hmm, do you know where I can see this discussion? I hate when Asians try to join in on the victimhood grift.

I'll see if I can dig something up. Like I said, my memory is hazy around the exact cause. There may be something about it over at the Bore, but that thread moves quickly and the "exodus" happened some time ago.

iirc it was a few different reasons that kind of happened around the same time, a lot of the usual shit when one of the identity based sections on the site get pissy with moderation over things not being the way they want. The only specific thing I remember was one of them getting permabanned for making an ACAB joke about the mods and Nepenthe throwing a shitfit over jannies being compared to cops just because some of the mods are black.

IRL Will Smith is married to an openly cheating harpy who puts him through struggle sessions just to be with her alopecia ass with two genderspecial cringe children, the male of whom is dating Tyler the Creator.
IRL Carlton is married to a white blonde woman and has a gaggle of mutted kids, a few of whom are blonde and blue eyed.
He won in the end.

Can you make me a sandwich?

Unless she's adopted, I can't see her as having a white parent. She's way too dark. Unless her mom is one of those black as the actual night straight from Africa types.

If the kids have blue eyes then he is probably not the father, since it takes both parents to have the gene for blue eyes. So L for Carlton as well.

edit: the two younger ones are definitely not his

Yeah, Astro Bot was actually fun.

Also a robot is non binary in the same way my toaster is.

Only until it gets raped straight?

Joking aside, would be a decently funny question to ask on some toast-railing subreddit. We all know what /trash/, /m/, and /co/'s answers are going to be.

Something that weirds me out about the posting culture over on Resetera is that people there often have zero attention span or reading comprehension. You can try to read a real topic with information you want to actually learn about a new video game and throughout the entire topic dozens of people ask the same questions that are answered on page 1 of the topic by primary sources.

It's not just ResetEra. There was another community (I forget which one) that did the same years ago. It was an article about a game kickstarter that failed to meet it's goal by $8. The comments were full of people saying "Why didn't they just add $8 themselves to take it over the finish line" even though a large part of the article was them trying that, only for pledges to be removed last minute.

Another thing is the lack of reading replies. It results in a weird "community" where no one talks to each other. They just post takes.

A bit off topic, but I got shit from one fanbase where this happened in Discord. You had the inner circle. And then you had the plebs squaking for attention of the inner circle where nobody read anything anyone was posting.

This happens frighteningly often in forums and 'cords but i have seen this most profoundly in resetera and it's auxillary discords, and there are multiple reasons that drive this behavior, all of them could have been preventable by sane policy.
  1. The bull in the china shop: Everyone who held a conversation with KSweely or any other resetera user knows that they have the constitution of glass and will shatter and break by just talking to them.
  2. The inner party: There is an unwritten rule among the regulars that don't quite post enough to rise from beneath the proverbial carpet which isn't unlike that of east-european gangs: Never ever consort with the prison guards, or their stoolies. As a result most members try to avoid and ignore past- and present mods and known troublemakers like Kyuuji as both a matter of caution and social hygiene. Replying to their posts and their goading is an equation that never ends favorably for you. To stand beneath notice is to stand beneath contempt in this case.
  3. Why should i?: The people starting threads on reset rarely read beyond the headline, even Royalan and Slayven have used the forum as their personal ChatGPT more than once like this. It might not be the duty of the staff to summarize every outrage bait that's being posted but it's also not the user's duty to cover for the mods' downright remedial reading comprehension.
  4. And finally It's all a game to me aka. Successful bait makes me coom: Why should i even think about approaching a topic with nuance and any form of analysis if i can just post a banbait reply and report half the users taking my post seriously? B-Dubs was clear that everything should be reported, so i do just that if that means running a thread into the ground by moderator incursion.
You can see that the few Hangout threads that avoid this are the ones that are run like submarines and keep that post rates low to stay beneath the thermal layer (first page). While the rest get blown up by the staff.

TL;DR Staff and Celebrity posters drive normies to fear and hatred of them. Nobody gives a shit about the low-trust landfill it nurtured.

I've been reading the last few months on this thread and holy shit, I knew this place was bad but wow I didn't realize it was THAT bad. They make reddit look fair by comparison and that's saying something.

The biggest losers though are the guys like Fat4All who eat bans every month then come back like retards begging for more rejection. If I knew i wasn't welcome i'd stay the fuck away before the tenth ban.

I was reading Nep's twitter today. I wish she was more active there, but I imagine she isn't because she knows she will get pushback and can't simply ban people. Although funny enough the foundational black americans are talking about her now it seems.

What are examples of foundational black americans? Rosa Parks and George Washington Carver?

Or some weird meme shit?

I can't say I recall hearing the term 'foundational black American' before.

But I'm guessing it's mostly not used by people who grew up middle class, went to art school and then moved into the room above their parents' garage in an upper-middle-class neighborhood where they pursue a career as a freelance fursuitist.

Pretty sure at that point no one, even the most polarized identitarian black person, will claim that 'the man' is the one keeping you down at that point.
