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

Question for the class here. Wasn't it resetera who posted the child porn to 8chan's /v/ board and then screenshot it to say 8chan posts child porn?

I believe it was Laurelai Bailey who uploaded the questionable pics before tipping off Dan Olson, who screenshots the pages and then wrote a blog post about it.

It backfired because 8chan does not hide the ISP so they could trace it to the owners of the SJWikie, and the questionable pics didn't qualify as CP in the area of the US where 8chan is run but did in Canada where Dan and I believe LB are.

resetera has actually denied Verafied™ status before on the basis of a lack of professional credentials

Don't forget to mention that they also deny it on the basis of a lack of "correct" opinions. See also: that one Skyrim dev.

Yes, it was Laurelai Bailey and Dan Olson who posted child pornography to 8chan.

I don’t care what happens to 8chan but Laurelai and Dan Olson actively contibuted to spreading child pornography and harming children.

New game comes out called "Ape Out" in which you're a gorilla and smash errybody in sight.

Also, it's now official to use THQNordic as a stand in for Nazis:

More details available in this thread calling out ETHICS IN GAMING JOURNALISM:

It's time to put the gaming media on blast for how poorly they have handled the THQ Nordic situation

I want to take a moment to talk about the THQ Nordic situation. Or more specifically, the response to this situation. Or, even more specifically, the lack of a response to this situation. I'm not going to go too into what the THQ Nordic situation- there's a great thread on Era you can go to for...

Hahaha, oh boy. I guess it's now our turn to mercilessly mock that phrase for the next 5 years!

"Just to be clear here, I don't have anything to back up my claims that the devs are racist, but it's a somewhat possible scenario so we'll just have to assume they are until they prove otherwise because AC/DC once wrote a song".

Jesus fucking Christ, again with this monkey business? You know, this is what happens when you turn shit into taboo, you just can't stop talking about it or letting it casually slip in any conversation. You're not allowed to say it out loud that yes a lot of black people look like apes. The cruel part is that this is not even disputable, they fucking do. So you repress that thought, but it turns into an obsession. There's no conversation that is safe from it being brought up.

Not well.

Am I doing something wrong if "black people!" is not my first thought hearing "Ape Out" as a title?

I thought it was some kind of Harambe revenge game

That's silly. We both know she'd use buttermilk and batter him.

Funny that they're obsession in "preventing" racism actually creates racism where there wasn't at all. It's all a very fucked up Cobra effect and none of them realize or care about it because it's all about virtue and outrage.
It doesn't help that 90% of the people who watch for racism tend to be of wealthier strata and white. Fighting for the "right side of history" because they have no real adversity in their lives; and only making people's lives worse.

The NeoGaf mods did turn a blind eye to one of the other mods (amirox) was a paedophile and denied knowing him when it all came out. I don't know how many of those went to ResetEra. But it makes it funny whenever they go on a moral crusade against anime games.

I think they supported Sarah Nyberg as well, but I don't know for sure.

I didn't notice it before, but now it's so clear. Let's apply this logic to another name.

Reset = Start over, return to.
Era = A period of time or history, like the colonial era that gave us black slavery.

Reset Era = Return to black slavery.

Self delusion and a severe lack of self awareness help them soldier on in their crusade.

If they ever have a brief moment of realizing how utterly ridiculous they are, they would be completely crushed.

Why do the black posters on ReeEra type in ebonics? Always the ones with a black avatar too. It’s weird and makes me wonder how many really are black and how many are pretending for progressive stack points.

It's because they are white.

Regardless of Bailey and Olsen's attempted CP setup of 8chan, that Mark defends the board by saying "Child Porn has never been tolerated. Drawings arent fucking people" shows that drawn child porn is in fact tolerated. It might not meet the current legal definition of CP but it's still distasteful enough to me that it's why I see Alison Rapp as a degenerate whore. Merely avoiding associating your company with criminal conduct is a pretty low bar for someone in PR/Marketing. They should know better than to get their company's name entangled with controversial and deviant sexual shit, which is why Nintendo was right to fire Rapp and quite frankly, THQ Nordic should probably fire Philipp Brock.

Not because of a resetera brigade braying for his blood, but because either he is colossally incompetent as a marketing director to not know that an 8ch AMA would be a shitshow (impossible to believe) or he willfully made a terrible judgment call. I'd say the latter considering he had to notice when he went there and he answered questions about lolis while representing THQ Nordic. To defend them by saying that lolis may look like children but really they identify as 200-year-old witches so it's all kosher is about as believable as a troon saying they're actually a woman so act accordingly. It's drawn child porn, and Brock associated THQ's name with it, and that's staggering incompetence or poor judgment and both are grounds enough for firing him.

That said, it's still amusing to see Resetera get worked up into a froth over this. They really are incapable of expressing any sort of opinion on anything without rage and hyperbole and invoking the nazis. They're delusional if they think that this becoming an issue for THQ had anything to do with their fainting spells and screeching into the void.
