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

[Cosmug]

It’s probably for the best these people lock themselves indoors and never go to any website but Era. They’d probably screech like a velociraptor at the sun and attack the nearest person to try to peel off their skin to see the lizard alien underneath. Imagine being so unacquainted with mainstream politics that you think Ben Shapiro is far right. No wonder the entire world is terrifying to them. They probably think coffee served with too much cream is some racist dog whistle.

 

[Black4STA]

Good thing that they chose such an indefensible "hill to die on" as they love to say.

No one even half-sane will be left posting there anymore. The association with the forum will become as toxic as being associated with NeoGaf not too long ago.

God I wish there was a non-/v/ alternative though... I see a market opening tbh, @Null .

I can't wait until some RetardEra fag gets arrested for plotting a revenge attack in a middle school because some 12 year old told him to subscribe to pewdiepie once.

RetardEra would be dangerous if the userbase didn't consist of self castrating, suicidal freaks who literally shake at the thought of a gun. They're sheep for someone else to herd.

 

[RockVolnutt]

I really despise the "Everything is inherently political" argument and think people who claim it should be mocked to death. Not sure what else to say about that concept that has a billion holes. You would probably agree that the quality of internet posts would improve if using that mantra made you a pseudo-intellectual laughingstock.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

Well to be fair they're extreme. But they're hardly left, when was the last time any of these totally savvy lefties ever had a conversation about economics? Workers rights? The environment? Never. All they do is call everything a nazi and think that qualifies them. Useless cucks.

Whereas now "the left" embraces guilt by association, deplatforming everything they don't like, South Park causes Nazis and also there is a post somewhere on Resetera saying the South Park PDP episode should be banned

Remember when it was "the left" telling everyone the "the right" was being hyperbolic saying violent video games cause violence, South Park is satanic and should be banned and that freedom to speak/joke/do satire was offensive?

And they wonder why most of the youth is going to "the right" to support freedoms?

The killer left a manifesto stating he was going to show the left doing all of this... and they go on to do it all. Exceptional.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

I want these cunts to get the authoritarian hellhole they're asking for. Just leave me the fuck out of it.

 

[DriveByTrolling]

The largest YouTuber on the planet, who has/had a very well marketed "subscribe to PDP" viral campaign. Even your grandparents know about it. Then a killer who left a manifesto stating he was going to use popular pop culture/internet memes as a trojan horse to make the MSM/lefties go insane and blame everyone but him.

Yeah, using facts and logic here is taboo. Instead, Felix is "secretly active in underground Nazi groups".

I invoke Poe's law again because you simply do not know on this forum.

It gives me the creeps... THE REAL USERS ARE STILL AMONG US.

If we just ban everyone until there is a handful of us left, we'll win the Nazi meme war on Resetera.

Is it some sort of rite of passage for someone who declares themselves as anti-fascist to also be completely unable to understand context and intent?

Newsflash exceptional person, nearly everyone is anti-fascist by default. We don't want everything banned, want to be left alone, want personal freedom and autonomy and only want the Government involved in cases of violence/credible threats. Though the right to self-defense is a starting point before Government intervention.

If you claim YOU are the anti-fascist Antifa yet come at me with a pipe or a boiling hot starbucks coffee, I should be able to resist your exceptionalism attempt to harm me.

I guess all of Era should just migrate to leftypol?

PDP didn't do the shooting is hate speech.

"There is no difference between someone telling, at worst, a bad taste joke, versus someone unloading hundreds of bullets into random innocent people" - Resetera, 2019.

Speech really is bullets.

There is a lot of pushback to be fair, but it's probably from the "REAL USERS STILL AMONG US" who feel they won't get banned in this topic. But maybe PDP was the mastermind behind No Russian?

They're coming for you chan.

 

[Reactionary Rhetoric]

The implicit racism is so delightful - when a Muslim commits an attack, we need to be more understanding, open our hearts [and wallets goyim!]. When a White commits an attack we need to shut all their shit down right now, oy vey!

And they wonder while slowly more and more people are migrating to the Right.

 

[TowinKarz]

Thanks to the moral police, we have reached the point in society where bad thoughts you might have had are WORSE than bad actions another person is confirmed to have committed.

I'm not even surprised, fam, just bemused.

 

[DriveByTrolling]

Is this one of these dual agent accounts that post facts, but coat the facts in "just asking questions" in order to trip up the mods into thinking they are trying to stop anyone being tricked? My head is spinning.

Nevermind, the correct-think Gestapo has arrived and they don't care about what the manifesto says

PDP paid people to hold up a sign that said "death to all Jews" so the killer goes and kills a load of Muslims

?

Did Google Translate make a mistake? Or is it possible everyone knew the Jew sign was an edgy joke, and at worst in bad taste, when taken in context? The context being seeing just how offensive a sign he could get an internet meme business to hold up. It's not 4D chess, it's rudimentary shitposting, but everyone knew it wasn't serious. Except for the mentally challenged.

Great, here we go again with the self-doxxing. Look at me! Look at how I hold the correct opinions!

Not really. On Resetera the default starting position is "Genocidal Nazi" for every account that doesn't self-doxx and allow the inmates to rake through your Twitter account for evidence of a single joke.

Self-awareness achieved. Please put on the hazmat suit necessary to navigate Resetera and attempt not to get banned by exceptional moderators.

Group-think of the year award? That's the only way you're staying unbanned on Resetera.

Yes, normal, intelligent opinions will be dragged off to the gulag. Please allow us to get back to creating the greatest echo chamber ever seen and learning nothing from NeoGAF.

Stating PDP did not pull the trigger is an incorrect opinion on Resetera. This implies PDP did pull the trigger. Checkmate Police. Please arrest PDP right now for killing tens of innocent Jews, I mean, Muslims.

Speaking of NeoGAF, looks like an attempt is being made in the current day ?

This is asinine.

The "No Russian" level was purposely designed so the player can choose what they want to do.

You are under no obligation whatsoever to fire a single round at any civilians. If you do, that's YOUR CHOICE, you are supposed to have free will to do so or not because the whole point of the level is, in universe, seeing just far you are willing to go to ingratiate yourself with the terrorists you are trying to get info on, and out of universe, it's a "so, how bloodthirsty a player are you?" test.

The second half of the level can be justified as self defense on your part if you never killed a civilian, you are still being shot at, and surrender would defeat your long term goal infiltration goals.

The level ends with your playable character being killed by the terrorists at the end either way, but before that happens, how clean your hands and conscience are is entirely up to the player.

They even let the player skip playing the level entirely if they so choose, with no penalty whatsoever.

That all said, are these cowards so scared of a completely optional chance to do a heinous act all because someone in real life chose to do a heinous act entirely of their own free will?

Pythagoras once said the greatest decision of the human soul is to do good or to do evil, which is the entire point of this material these moral cowards want to ban.

 

[ChevroletBlackboard]

When do you think Resetera will realised they have went mccarthyism?, thank god they don't have much real power

Never, unless the entire mod team leaves and the new guard are made of people who haven't been tainted. Even then, ResetEra's reputation is getting shot to shit becuase of this, a lot of gaming Youtubers have now been warned off the site thanks to how they're acting to anyone who doesn't attribute the shooting to Felix.

 

[ObsoleteMediaFormat]

Getting flash back to this

Will at least 80% of the posters in that thread are saying no
Then you have this guy

edit:

Does Chairmancuck know by his own logic and point he was making that he just did a death threat, and that should be reported because jokes don't work that way in his logic.
If anyone has his dox reported him to the police, it's what he wants.

 

[AnOminous]

Imagine not realizing you're in a literal cult.

Also fantastic fucking avatar under the circumstances.

Yeah but it's the @Heretics on Holiday Ironmarch types who actually try to imitate them.

Things are really kicking off now, after a wave of disagreeing the topic has swerved into if you don't agree it should be censored you probably want to gun down innocent Muslims.

This is a verified journalist

Real life mass shootings are all because of Call of Duty.

When someone else uses the same argument as me, I call it bullshit. When I do it, it's correct.

Because when Muslims go to a mosque to do their prayers, they all sit around playing Call of Duty.

But I'm not really asking for censorship, I just want the original artists vision forcefully changed or else I'll write an article on Joypad.dk saying the creators of Call of Duty support mass shootings of Muslims.

Accusing a verified journalist of cherry picking and leaving out information. Yikes. This is ethics in journalism 101, aka, a gamergate dog whistle.

Uh-oh, journalist asked if they know there is an easy mode to play the game on. I think this is vilifying journalism. Probably another secret gamer-gater.

Between the PDP stuff and now wanting to censor and ban everything, Resetera is having a hell of a week.

Stay safe shitlords.

What exactly did Ninja do to offend these speds? Please tell me it's not just that he only streams with his wife and not random gamergrrl e-thots coming over to Twitch from Chaturbate/Omegle.

 

[HeyYou]

What exactly did Ninja do to offend these speds? Please tell me it's not just that he only streams with his wife and not random gamergrrl e-thots coming over to Twitch from Chaturbate/Omegle.

He said something like he wasn't going to stream with girls anymore so that things wouldn't get misconstrued. Yes, it's that minor.

"The people creating this content aren't doing so to send a greater message. This is for the thrill/shock/"fun" factor for someone playing their game."

You ignorant, ignorant RetardEra poster. Before you open your mouth about the motives of an author, I suggest you find out whether the author ever made his motives public.

Modern Warfare 2 writer:

GamePro Feature: Modern Warfare 2 writer: "the airport level was a risk we had to take"

web.archive.org

GP: What did you hope to achieve from a narrative standpoint with the airport level?

Stern: We've been catching a lot of criticism for that and a lot of praise as well. People have really strong reactions to the airport scene and it's been fascinating because we all wanted to make it something that would be upsetting, disturbing, but also something people relate to. There's something instantly identifiable about it when it happens, when you're in that situation and the level begins.

I find that interesting, that the player knows what's going on instantly. It's too familiar and at the same time it's not something that people are able to get that close to. Right now, there's a documentary with interviews of people who were actually in Mumbai when that attack took place and you've got similar accounts of Columbine. I'm sure we'll get some from Ft. Hood.

People want to know. As terrifying as it is, you want to know. And there's a part of you that wants to know what it's like to be there because this is a human experience. These are human beings who perpetrate these acts, so you don't really want to turn a blind eye to it. You want to take it apart and figure out how that happened and what, if anything, can be done to prevent it. Ultimately, our intention was to put you as close as possible to atrocity. As for the effect it has on you, that's not for us to determine. Hopefully, it does have an emotional impact and it seems to have riled up a lot of people in interesting ways. Some of them good. Some of them bad.


GP: Is there a "right" way to play that scenario?

Stern: It's interesting because that level kind of comes out of nowhere and some of the criticism in the narrative has been that there's not much of a set-up. Your character has distinguished himself in battle and was handpicked for this undercover assignment. Then you're dropped right into the middle of it before you've even really gotten the chance to get your feet wet in the game, so it's really a sideswipe. We spent a lot of time trying to set the right tone there so that people wouldn't feel confused.

There's three things you can do. Once you realize what's happening, you can open fire on the other terrorists that are with you. They'll turn around and kill you quickly, but that is an option. You can do nothing for the first half of that level too. You're not obligated to do anything other than walk and watch, which I think portrays another completely different feeling of helplessness. And the third option is [that] you can open fire.

When we tested the level, it was interesting. Steve Mancuda, who ran a lot of the testing, said people would get angry or sad or disgusted and immediately wonder what the Hell was going on here. And then after a few moments of having that experience, they would remember that they were in a video game and they would let go. Every single person in testing opened fire on the crowd, which is human nature. It feels so real but at the same time it's a video game and the response to it has been fascinating. I never really knew you could elicit such a deep feeling from a video game, but it has.

I'm having a hard time processing the fact that the lead writer for a fucking Call of Duty game has a more mature view and a more solid grasp of how to get people to think about the human element of horrific crimes than a forum that ostensibly exists to discuss games as an art form.
