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

There are tons of threads that have this sign in front reading "☠️ACHTUNG, MINEN ☠️" or "Surrender all hope, ye who enter here" or any variation of it. But this one takes the cake, who in their right mind would wander in there and expect not to be beset by troons and mods the second they type something in the reply window?
 
tired of being treated like sacks of meat for the consumption of the cishet male gaze
So tiresome seeing Resetera-types get this philosophical concept confused. Objectification isn't good or bad, it's just a fact of subjective experience. Everyone experiences life as a subject acting on objects in their own universe of perception. You don't get to complain that other people see you from their own perspective instead of experiencing your entire subjective life themselves, that's not a reasonable expectation. It's just become this empty phrase they repeat, "male gaze," like you automatically have made a winning argument if you just invoke that string of words.
 
Vex is going to make himself miserable, but he's right about the level of shame he should feel about posting on Resetera.

"Hostility towards everyone" does accusing large groups of people of being misogynists count as hostility? Does saying you want them all dead or to not enjoy any fun even in a fictional setting hostile?

"Generalizing groups, people, or fandoms" so accusing them of being creeps and perverts then?

"Accusations of censorship" does this apply to someone who's pro-feminist? Or someone/something that IS being censored?

"Arguments of who can and can't discuss this topic" so people who disagree with you then, such as women who find fanservice sexy and empowering, should get an opinion then?

"Dismissing or handwaving legitimate issues" so in other words disproving angry, seething rants and medium-wide accusations with positivity and solid evidence?

"Using this thread to whine about feminism or liberal views" who on ResetEra is whining about them? ResetEra is groupthink, the forum. And I'm not whining about them, they've worked overtime to get The Far Right elected in several countries over the past decade.

Fortunately, these discussions will mean nothing as their purpose is to directly influence other people's content to revolve around them. Japan recently pushed back against the United Nations, what hope do a bunch of random English speakers on a heavily-controlled niche forum have, especially as DEI freebies are starting to slip away?
The rules of Restera are simple: do not disagree with the groupthink.

It's not like people don't, because every time there's some sort of poll the loonies are shown to be a minority, but if you express any disagreement about what constitutes racism or sexism or a reasonable response to seeing a bikini-clad female character you're going to see one of those messages.

A Booktuber named Daniel Green got accused of sexual assault by another Youtuber. Resetera responds as you'd expect.

Wrap it up, the tribe has spoken. Daniel Green has been judged in the court of public opinion, and justice is swift.

A dissenter receives due punishment.

After the accuser makes another video posting more communications between herself and Green, the narrative starts to shift.

Green released another video where he apparently manages to refute the allegations in some detail. (I've watched none of these videos, though I'm familiar with Green just from watching Booktube stuff.)

I mean, it's a discussion forum - what do you think that it's for, blacklotus? Talking about stuff?

One of those classic ban messages. Somehow, suggesting that all of this was a bad idea is 'blaming victims'. In a case where the accuser was not, in fact, a victim.

Hey, why didn't this guy get banned for saying the same thing as RainsJitt?

Someone participating on one of the strongest promoters of cancel culture laments cancel culture.

If he'd posted about them on the first page of the thread he absolutely would have been hit with a 'Dismissing Concerns Of' ban.

He's not one of the In Crowd, so no.

On page one this poster said that Green 'looks like a chomo and I hope he rots in prison soon'. We have come full circle.

I do hope that thread at least peaked a few Reseterans about how maybe cancel culture can go too far, even by their standards.
 
Tbf, I noticed this when I was like 10. Anime "humor" is usually really bad.
And I've come to find a lot of what I thought was funny from like DBZ, Pokemon, Sailor Moon was more due to the localization than the original.
I don't think it's necessarily a humor disconnect with Japan in general (I've seen good humor in Japanese skit shows, slapstick, and also in video games) but Anime Humor specifically tends to be shit.

Agreed. An example would be Full Metal Alchemist: Botherhood. It is the allegedly GOAT of every anime normie, but that shit has so many cutely drawn anime humor cutaways in every episode it leaves a big shitstain on the whole series.
 
Well it seems they've figured out how to block X embeds. Wait excuse me they've deadnamed it to Twitter like the bigots they are.

Lots of people saying thanks and then some questions being asked about how to post news if it is the only source. And Dubs making it sound like they had some technical issues implementing this.

Ah the concern about knowing if something being posted is real. From the people that dictate what you can and can't say.

I'm honestly surprised this isn't front and center on the site so they can pat themselves on the back over it some more compared to a simple thread stashed away under announcements.
 
Jeff Bezos is shifting The Washington Post's opinion section in a more libertarian direction (will support "free markets and personal liberties"), Era has a rational response to this, here's the winner among all the people who think this is a move to please Trump, an attempt to bring about fascism, a reason to "finally" cancel Amazon Prime, changing nothing as The Post was always right-wing, an attack on free speech, an example of monopolies, a reason Bezos and others need to lose their lives, a plot to harm trans, immigrants and people of color, etc.: https://www.resetera.com/threads/je...orial-section-steps-down-in-response.1119462/

Also includes excelsiorlef throwing a fit over someone who identifies as a leftist using liberal in the classical/European sense:

"Get ready for what's coming" what's coming is that after you label the majority of America as natzees, then you out yourself as a minority, a foreign element to that group of people you've demonized for so long and who have all the reasons in the world to be angry with you, and what do you think will happen then, fucktard? Do you think the majority won't gang up on you? These people still think that what happened was a glitch in the system and that the world is still fully liberal. They're so blind they don't see the tide changing in strides. They still live in the Obamaworld hellscape and haven't moved on.
 
Both of them in that pic, even while disagreeing with each other, go out of their way to agree that Teslas are bad Nazi cars for no other reason than because Elon is personally a bad Nazi guy. One of them even insinuates that people who own Teslas will be killed in the future (?). They're too enmeshed in the political drama playing out in their minds to just deal with a car as an object in the world. Everything has to be politically significant to them. What an exhausting, shrill, fanatical personality type.
