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

[BScCollateral]

I have no personal experience with this website, but I suspect calling it a "Game forum" is like calling a fishhook a "worm dispenser."

It's not a forum; it is a playground for mods to role play their fantasies of being inquisitors burning heretics.

 

[Secret Asshole]

Pretty much. ResetEra is not a gaming forum. Its a place where the most unwanted faggots on the internet gather. You have to remember when NeoGaf imploded, NOBODY wanted them. Nobody. Forums literally closed registrations when these stupid cunts were hunting down a new forum to go to. Not even fucking Waypoint wanted them. WAYPOINT for fucks sake. Giant Bomb closed registrations. Gamefaqs shuddered with the thought of them registering. Vox's motherboard hid its registration button. Topics across forums welcoming Neogafers were shut down and deleted. They were shut out of every gaming website and Reddit.

That's who these people are. People so unlikable, so detestable, that they were forced to make their own shithole on the internet. This is who they are. Nobody listens to them, nobody fucking likes them. They are unloved, a laughing stock. The purpose ResetEra serves is one of containment. To contain all these faggots in one place. Its like that old George Carlin joke where he says we put all the crazies in this one state and lock it up, put cameras on and charge a fee for watching. Except the crazies willingly locked themselves in the asylum, and we don't have to pay to watch.

Good guy Larry, I see him everywhere in YouTube comments lmao

 

[Emperor Julian]

I'm really going to enjoy this chimpout.

 

[Le Pew]

I bet they don't even take offense at the video. If there's one thing that Resetera has proven, it's that they can absolutely take a joke and don't mind being made the butt of one. Zero chance so many tears flow that a geologic salt layer forms in the earths crust. Not gonna happen.

 

[Luigi]

It's just some pretty entry level stuff. Even for Jim's style. Funny to see a few familiar faces in the video tho.

 

[CrunkLord420]

ResetEra isn't a very friendly place for industry people anyone https://twitter.com/Stealth___/status/1037743901203943425 (https://archive.fo/kIfwc)

 

[Ruin]

He likes JRPGs which tend to heavily utilize fan service so yea I can see why Reeeeeeesetera might hate him.

They then apologized to each other for talking to me publicly on the forums and had mods PM me demanding I copy and paste statements THEY had written to denounce my opinions as the forums felt uncomfortable with my presence

They made him an offer he couldn't refuse it seems. Do the mods think they are part of the mafia or something?

I have a feeling there will be more to come.

I don’t think they can take a joke, however what they certainly can do (and likely will if they decide to address it) is rant and rave about how Jim is just a goobergrape harasser, how anyone talking shit is just mad they got banned for being a nazi bigot, and how the site totally isn’t “leftist” and actually needs stronger moderation.

That is beyond words. "Here's the pre-approved party line. Say it or be executed banned.".

 

[CrunkLord420]

Mods will probably lock any thread that gets created about Jim's video. To be fair it's a basic re-hash, they've already heard this criticism.

The thing about ResetEra LLC staff telling Larry to copypasta their statements as his own is a new level of Orwellianism from that forum.

 

[Bunnything]

YES! I've been wanting this for a while now. Jim my boy, you done delivered.



No, no, no, that's not what shocked me. It's the apparent fact that some of them can't live without having their food shipped directly to them. They literally can't do their own shopping? That's the epitome of helplessness and laziness for someone who has enough money to throw it all at same day deliveries and online food orders.

This is the first time I've ever seen something like that. And, pardon the edginess here, but it makes me almost genuinely pity them.

I mean it's worth pitying them to be fair. Eventually mommy and daddy will die and they'll be left out in the open, unable to do anything for themselves. They'll be your homeless and your destitute before too long. Or their parents, who are likely more towards the "Right" will force them to go out and try to get a job.

But hey maybe they'll commit suicide. Leaving a manifesto that talks about how the patriarchy has wronged them. How their parents abused them (Kicked them out.) and how nobody loves them. Because god knows that these people can't ever have sex if they're this sensitive. It'd be rape.

The only thing Jim fucked up in that video is that he assumes actual women post on REE.

There are no actual women or men who post on REE. The real world has two genders but neither is represented there.

It's such a disgusting display of privilege. Real, actual privilege like they wish their enemies actually had. These people have no understanding that most living humans don't even have the option to shop. Anywhere. Shopping itself is a modern innovation. And one devised by the dreaded C word capitalism, by the way.

Half the human race has to struggle daily to get water. But they bitch because robot drones can't drop organic yogurt on their doorstep for a convenient price. Oh my god some of the trog nazis at the gas station convenience store might have actually voted for third parties, you are literally killing me if I can't buy my lentils and quinoa in the comforting safety of a politically homogeneous customer base. In the epic timespan of 20 whole minutes before I return to the hikikomori cave of my parents' basement where I spend all day getting mad on social media, with several daily breaks for netflix and masturbating. Cry me a river.

 

[Le Pew]

That is beyond words. "Here's the pre-approved party line. Say it or be executed banned.".

Mao Zedong did this so much better in the cultural revolution. They should at least add a modern twist and demand people make videos of themselves addressing their wrong think. Written apologies are so blasé anymore.

It's like the 2+2=5 scene from 1984, though I bet the ResetERA mods wish they could do the electric torture part to enforce their will too.

Now that I really think about it. It really does piss me off. now that you've mentioned it privileged is not getting gunned down to get some of the well (water) in Africa. It's being able to survive in a place with heat and clothing and food.

I think I've gotten a bit too angry about this though, so I'm out for a while.

 

[CrunkLord420]

Speaking of how Orwellian ResetEra is, there's a whole thread talking about one of the most blatant forms of newspeak: literally barking like a dog https://www.resetera.com/threads/how-come-some-people-bark-in-their-posts.66918/

I'm not just throwing around 1984 terminology like ResetEra throws around Nazi. This is woof, yikes, oof shit is a directly counter to constructing arguments built out of words that have actual meaning.

I was looking for the Ted Kaczynski quote about how being removed from technology has become a death sentence for modern man when I found this quote instead:

Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any "oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society.

We should have listened.
