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

At this point, give it some more time and we'll see ResetEra completely disintegrate as more and more of their own staff begin to leave as well as more and more of their own users begin to move on to other online platforms that is wiling to humor and tolerate their bullshit.

When ResetEra implodes again, then the NeoGaf/ResetEra community will truly be dead by that point.

They'll still be the same idiots as before where they will move on to other online video game forums, they will by then start and join Discord servers that will simply continue to serve as nothing but echo chambers for them, they will join some groups on platforms like Twitter where they will end up consuming all of the bullshit that the blue checkmarks will feed them, and so on. But by that point the former NeoGaf/ResetEra community will then continue to divide itself more and more, entropy will set in, and eventually nothing will be left of the original NeoGaf/ResetEra community as we know it because from that point on they will no longer be united to continue with their stupid moral outrage campaigns and whatnot.

Simply put neither the conservative right, the alt-right, or any of their other boogeymen will be the ones that will take down ResetEra because pretty much ResetEra are their own worse enemies and they alone will be the ones that will destroy themselves.

Wow, to think all this started because Nicole got pushback over posting a meme. Now they're bleeding staff.

I'd like to remind everyone who wasn't around during the GAF exodus that Era partly came out because no one else wanted them. RockPaperShotgun's mod team point blank warned the GAFugees "You won't get away with the bullshit you used to do in GAF here."

Now that Era's going down, any new replacement site is gonna have trouble getting off the ground since Era got a lot of press attention thanks to the GAF implosion.
 
Slimeballs fleeing REEEEE aren't mad at censorship but at censorship aimed at them personally. They'd have been okay with Stalin's purges up until it was gulag time for them personally, too.
I agree with you on that with BernardoOne's case, he overplayed his hand trying to curry favor with the powers that be. But i also suspect that some users -as is the case with other OTs- simply wanted to talk to games and be left alone, usually these moderator raids happen shortly after one of the VIPs spill into the thread and get butthurt that it's not just about transracial orgies like on the general and offtopic forums.

I have just realized something about the banning process:
Pseudo-misogyny (aka disagreements with others irregardless of gender): banned for 1-2 weeks.
Pseudo-racism (aka having a different opinion): banned for 1-3 weeks.
Triggering the mods (treating them as normal individuals with constructive criticisms, rather than gods who can do no wrong): banned permanently.

Even if, somehow, these cases for banning users were for legit discrimination (which in its current iteration, it's not). How does judging one based on their race or gender be given a "lighter" ban as compared to one whom actively criticize the moderators.

You all know how BronsonLee is super intelligent and likes being held accountable?

He didn't even vote in 2016 and guess who won

CONTROL THE NARRATIVE

They seem to forget (or more likely never knew) that impeaching Clinton was a disaster for the Republicans and his approval rating actually went up after they did it. Impeaching Trump without even the barest chance of winning in the Senate would be seen as the slimy political stunt it would be.

There's something to get rid of Trump in a shorter amount of time that you don't need a supermajority to pull off. It's called an election and one is coming. If you can't win that, you can't win the impeachment either.
 
Can't do screencaps just now but this topic is fantastic


The troon LKD at Kotaku posted a shitty article, that bad even Resetera was calling it out. Then the mods had to swoop in and stop everyone saying LKD is a shit journalist.

A mod called Matt was taking it quite personally


Another mod calls him out


Who is resigning next?


Yup, looks like Matt has to go. He doesn't know about ethics in games journalism and got the topic locked because even the exceptional posters on Resetera dragged him.

There's a whole lot of people clowning on this dude's takes in that thread.

Except for that whole lack of actual proof thing

730730

In which a vERAfied game journalist accuses other posters of having nothing that proves their statement in defense of an article which had nothing that proves its statement

730731

Game journalists are and will always be above criticism for any and all fuckups because Trump

Just make your libelous statements and then apologize if necessary, that's the basics of journalism.

A Game journalist crying about ethics

I haven't played any Persona games and I dropped Smash when the thrill of playing as Ridley and Dark Samus wore off, but I find it exceedingly funny that this only becomes an issue once the song gets put in their babby game. Like, as far as I know, Persona 5 has been out for a year or two (or three) and it was pretty widely acclaimed.

It's almost like these people only exist at the very topmost casual crust of the video game community or something...huh...weird...

And of course that word isn't actually in the song, that would be re.tarded.

Sorry to get back to that, especially since I'm still fairly new, but I was taking a shit after work and I had some kind of revelation. It's kind of a personal theory, but I'm sure it's not that far from the truth. Bear with me (TL;DR at the end).

It all begun with seeing pictures of SweetNicole. I always pictured him as being an ugly sweaty dude, but I was far from the truth. He's even uglier than I imagined. There's ugly and fucking ugly. In fact, it's like that all the time. Everytime one of those SJW got doxxed, it's an overweight, core nerd, with the weirdest facial structure you can imagine. Those guys and girls reek failure at every levels from the outside.

To be perfectly honest and small disclosure, I don't consider myself as a chad or a good looking lad. I don't care about my appearance, I cut my hair every three months, I don't care about the cloth I wear, I wash my teeth without paste (yeah...). But damn, even by not caring, I'm not as repulsive as them.

As far as I can remember, it's quite rare to see a hot black man or a hot black woman being hard on SJW mindset, unless big mental issues. It might exist, but it's still rare. In fact, I've yet to see many hot people being SJW, period, regardless of skin colour. I don't remember a hot white lad or a hot white woman being a dumb SJW, unless fishing for attention or under close watch because he has a career to build. It's always the ugliest persons of the bunch doing it the hardest and dumbest way.

Remember that "fucking white male" video ? The guy looked like a trans crackhead hooker. Yeah man, it's normal society doesn't care about you. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Resetera is a nice exemple of that. Every single time one of them is doxxed, it's an ugly looking person that you wouldn't bang out of desperation. It's not just Resetera, it's also something blatant on Twitter, where you can see people face. It's always, always the ugliest no one care about that are the worst kind of SJW.

Then I realised something. What if, in fact, those "opressed minorities" aren't rejected because they're trans, homosexual, furry, core-nerd or hard left, but just because they're ugly ? What if they just realised life is harder when you're not attractive ? What if they don't want to face the simple truth and prefer to blame their virginity/lack of job/lack of social success on patriarchy/alt-right/Peterson ? I'm not the smartest guy around, I'm not an engineer or anything, but even I know life is hard when you're rat-ass ugly. Each time I take care of myself, every persons around is nicer to me. When I go full Kurt Cobain, grease my hair and wear hobo clothes, nobody gives a shit, even people at work I know for a long time look at me in a weird manner (well, because as much as I hate it, I'm not Kurt Cobain...). That's society and real life for you.

I'm like the majority, I'm dumb, I easily forgive/give people a pass if they're attractive. I'm on the right/conservatism side myself, but if I met a furry lover girl that is damn attractive, I'd give her a pass and will try to hit on her. If she's a furry and is ugly as sin, I might consider this person a personal ennemy of mine. That's how society work and has always worked.

TL;DR : Resetera weirdo aren't rejected because they're trans, homo or furry, they're being rejected because they're ugly as fuck. Even uglier than typical discussion board weirdo like you and me. They feel opressed because they refuse to face the truth and prefer to blame it on alt-right/Peterson/"bigots".

It has probably already been covered, but I had to get if out of my chest, maybe that will help me to cope with SweetNicole pictures and face IRL.
If you have to tell us how much better you are than them, you probably aren't.

There's something to get rid of Trump in a shorter amount of time that you don't need a supermajority to pull off. It's called an election and one is coming. If you can't win that, you can't win the impeachment either.
But that requires going outside where everyone is literally trying to kill them every second they walk out the door. Why, they're literally crying and shaking just from the thought. That and no single potential candidate thus far is anywhere near fucking good enough for them, and even if there was and they didn't get the nomination they'd throw a fit and refuse to vote again.
 
This "Laura Kate" Dale is pulling out the infamous card : "I can't discuss it further because they're after me now". It's the trap (wink wink) card you use just before "death threats" field magic and "harassment" summon.

Par for the course for Josh:

  1. Pull bullshit out of ass
  2. Get called out for it
  3. Cry on Twitter
  4. Go radio silent, citing vague "Death threats"
  5. Lather
  6. Rinse
  7. Repeat
