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

Edit: excelsiorlef should have been banned for antagonizing other users, aggressive posts, and arguing in bad faith. Hell, he put on a clinic on using those discussing techniques in the last few threads we've discussed.
True, he should, but we all know he won't because he's adhering to the mods' ideology. It would be really funny if someone called him out on his inability to be banned like they did with that guy with a Rian Johnson avatar a little while ago, though.
 
Yeah, the moment you butt into a conversation, it's literally your (social) job to explain your position. Otherwise your just being a loud disagreeable asshole.

What that moron is doing is the equivalent of a small child bursting into a room saying "I know a secret" and refusing to tell the other kids. It's just a ploy for attention, and since these people are antisocial, it has to be the most condescending and assholish version of that.
 
excelsiorlef is still talking about how straight men are transphobic because they don't want to sleep with someone who was named Joe 2 years ago. Also pushing hard for that diversity consultant meme of "pay me to educate you" when people are simply trying to understand your position. It's all very disingenuous, or maybe even bad faith: https://www.resetera.com/threads/eras-woman-problem-read-op.57534/page-37

I'd bet excelsiorlef has crippling college debt and is still wrangling with whether they wasted 4 years of their life to end up in debt to the tune of an R8 and end up with a) no R8 and b) just a bunch of unfalsifiable words which results in everyone looking at them like they're crazy when they start spouting them in public.

One of the other replies to the now banned member is pretty good though.

See I think this is where most people lose y'all in this discussion, "there's a lot to unpack there".:thinking:
 
So one humorous aspect that's been kinda missing from this board is ResetEra's Wikipedia page and the edits that happened to it, there's been a weird and autistic edit war going on since the creation of the page, and I find the revision history to be hilarious (archive), also, for further context and hilarity (from the anti-ResetEra side), see the talk page of the dude that was responsible for a 3-day edit battle (archive), complete with Nate Spidgewood-style tard-raging (no whine punching though :(), all over the Wikipedia page of a vidya board that no one cares about..
 
"At some point folks are just going to have to let go of their preconceived notions of a hard-sex binary and grasp the truth with their own two hands. The wave of the future will not pause for anyone."

The wave of the future will never force me to suck dicks, because I don't want to suck dicks. Sorry wave. Sperm inseminates eggs, the way a car key allows the ignition to turn. You can toss your keys in the cupholder, passenger seat, back seat, but only one arrangement makes the car go anywhere. "Durrr, push button ingitions! Durrr towing!" Eat my ass you degenerates.
 
Game developer says their friends don't post on REEEEE because they view the environment the moderators have created as extremely hostile.

I'm sure Skyrim has learned that the fears of his friends were entirely unfounded. REEE is a welcoming forum of peace.
Well, I'm sure those "reasonable" responses will encourage more developers to join instead of staying clear.
 
God I hate the 'it's not my job to educate you/fuck you pay me' mindset of people like this and Nora Reed. It's such a condescending brush-off, and usually vastly overrates the value of their time, contributions and level of information.

My response to that is pretty much it's not my job to give a flying fuck about your stupid bullshit, or care whether you live or die.

In addition, this demonstrates their disingenuity, because somebody who actually felt strongly for their position would be interested in explaining it to another person, and furthermore would also not want to present their position in a way that makes it appear indefensible by refusing to explain it.

I always treat this cowardly asshole response as an admission that the speaker knows what he's saying is absolute garbage, and would look even worse if he attempted to explain it, and then ignore eveverything he says from then on.

Era's women problem.

That most of them are blokes, and that the mods are transgender.

And also this spectacularly disengenuous post from Selina (another transwoman mod) shortly after she banned someone for wrongthink.

Quality purging.

I left two of the attachments in (the "what views specifically are they afraid to express" baitposts) that I think really cut to the core of why people would be afraid to post there that nobody on ERA seems to get: You don't KNOW what will be considered "bigotry" until you put ink to it and the hivemind does its oppression olympics calculations. And then once it becomes clear that it was "bigotry", you CAN'T walk it back and suddenly "oh look x studio employs a bigot let loose the troons of war".

That's why people are afraid. They KNOW they aren't bigots, but they also KNOW if they have eyes and a semi-functional brain with a memory capacity for more than a year that what is and is not bigotry in the eyes of these people evolves seemingly overnight, so there is no knowing whether yesterday's "decent human being" is today's "commienazi drumph supporting bigot".
 
It's funny how their response to the developer spitting truth about the over-and-mis-moderation of ResetEra and the unwelcoming nature of its community was ...... to dogpile, be extremely adversarial, and unwelcoming toward him.

You couldn't make this shit up.

A single inoffensive post followed by page upon page of howler monkeys screaming and throwing their own feces at the interloper.

That almost hurt to read. Jeez these people can't hold rational conversation to save their precious echo chamber.
 
Hoo boy. This one's likely to enrage @GethN7 a little, as well as any Kiwi here who knows their vidya.

Apparently, ResetERA, not happy with alienating devs on this side of the pond, have drawn their crosshairs on a fucking industry legend: Koichi Sugiyama. For the uninitiated, Sugiyama is a fucking legend in both video games and anime who has made the soundtracks of fucking hundreds of works, most notably the Dragon Quest series.

The guy has a legacy that rivals Nobuo Uematsu. He's 87 years old and a fucking highly respected composer. One could make the argument that as a really old professional in a very conservative country, he could be forgiven for some level of wrongthink, but that's thinking with logic, and you know how ResetERA feels about that. Recently, He laughed at an anti-LGBT Japanese politician, so he's obviously both a war crime denier and worthy of death:

He's 87, hopefully nature does its magic and we don't have to hear about him ever again.

We don't need bigots.

I hope XI is his last game, he needs to fucking go, and by go I mean die of old age (he's 87).

Anti-LGBT is putting it lightly. He's a sociopath who takes pleasure in LGBT people killing themselves.

Here for the day his heart finally stops beating~

Duckroll said:
Yeah the best DQ news I will hear in years is when they announce that they have found a replacement after he eh, fucks off from this Earth.

It just spirals out from here.
