Not directly Resetera, related but kinda relevant as an actual example of a trans trender. In a Chris chan way.


There's this forum I visit and it's still up since the 2000's, it's very slow burn so I check it super infrequently. There's this one guy who's posted there for the longest time who set himself up as a self proclaimed "Expert" looking for a lost videogame. So he's been at this for about 20 years only posting about this one topic but he's an utter twat and makes massive leaps of logic during his "Research" which is just reading interviews and taking other peoples forum posts and passing it off as his own.

Back in the day I used to correct him and question his methods, but I lost interest and had better things to do. But due to me having changed usernames over the years I'd be able to feed him bullshit as an "Insider" info he'd take and spread around as fact.

I have not checked in on that forum for a year, it's real slow burn. But that guy is now fully, girls name, girl avatar and "I'm a real girl" tag. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Textbook example of how most of the MtoF trans trenders are actually massive losers.

Hang the fuck on, you got taken down in class, I'm going to assume sparring, so got angry and threw a cheap shot kick into their face? I need more clarity here as that's what it sounds like

I remember this guy from before, confessing his all-consuming sex addiction, and the problems it has created between him and his parents.

I feel sorry for him whether he wants it or not. Wanting pity is a strange thing. Many times people hate being the object of pity because it means you see them as being weak. But then again, desire is not straightforward. Often we implicitly desire self destruction.

It comes from the fact that the Cyberpunk Genre by definition is political in nature.

From Wikipedia


So yeah it's definitely political by nature in the sense that it's a commentary on capitalism and shitiness of people regardless of how much we progress or how much time passes, but it's not the kind of in your face politics that some people might be used to at this point so not everyone might catch it or notice it at first.

Yeah it really just depends on how people are using the "all videogames are political" argument.

I think something like Cyberpunk, as a genre, has some pretty obvious political aspects and it's then easy for content in this genre to demonstrate political messages and to be open to political interpretations.

Where things get tricky is that you have people who want to use this "games are all political" angle to put pressure on, or criticize, developers and publishers and to maybe affect the "word of mouth" on certain games. A lot of those people seem to be drawn to ResetEra.

A good example would be FarCry 5 where the game clearly has a "real world" aspect to it but the player base is weirdly divided up into "the game isn't interested in examining American culture in the way WE think it should" and "come on it's just a fun game and I just want to enjoy it".

When I hear someone say "the game isn't political" I think what they mean is that the game will not be really purposefully pushing any big political ideas or concepts and is trying to be a form of entertainment first and foremost.

Others here that and get wound up because they can't really get on board with media that just wants to be "neutral". I suppose the overriding view on ResetEra is that being neutral is just as bad as being whatever they are actively against.
 
So unless they want to come out and say "this guy said f**got" but we're going to give him a pass" which they ain't going to do, he's gone.

Personally I haven't got a clue who he is but seems like he's quite popular.

I thought FC5 was more based on Charles Mason and Jim Jones like cults? Had a weird ending if I recall where you lose as well
 
usually when i see "all games are political" it is said as if "all games should have my politics"

As a religious person, I think I can summarize it for you. Imagine in any conversation you and I might have, to justify any action or behavior I might take, I always retreat back to the same excuse "it's all a part of God's plan".

Now, axiomatically that may be true, just as their axiom "everything is political" might be true, but that isn't the point. They try very hard to make it the point -- claiming that you are denying reality, running in circles over the defintion of "political" -- but it isn't the real sticking point. The problem is that no one gives a shit about your deepest beliefs when you first meet them. They want to know that in spite of differences, you and this person still share common humanity, some common frame of reference. Most people know a zealot when they see 'em, they're just too polite to call it out. Narcissists and cultists prey upon this uncomfortable social politeness.

So if I end every discussion with "well, it's God's plan after all. You might not like that answer but it is the truth" then it's going to be annoying. If I browbeat you for not going along with my paradigm, then it's going to be obnoxious if not downright insulting. And if I start calling for you to be fired and screaming at you and inserting my beliefs into every situation to leverage more control over other people, then... well... that is where we find ourselves now.

We see many cults springing up -- both religious ones and political ones -- that all default to some form of "it's God's plan". The words differ, but the meaning behind the words is the same: do not ask questions, just follow the dogma.

It's plainly true. We encounter these people on Facebook, here on GAF, on Twitter, etc. They are real people, hoodwinked into believing a lie.

So I guess the question is what do we do about it?

Yeah. People like REEE wanted it to be a Trump supporter killing simulator.

See here's the thing I don't get, when did this Political Divide happen? Was it 2016 with Trump? i honestly don't see the big deal anymore, nothing bad has really happened since? Am I missing something?

Hell I remember when people did not give a fuck about politics and everything wasn't infested with it

Yeah videogames (like most media) always been political or have a message, the difference recently is these extreme discussions, now games apparently aren't political enough, Internet forums pretty much have to analyze every game and criticize its gamey/simple or problematic' parts so they have to change for '2020 standards.' whatever that means

Accepting games always had moral messages is not the same as viewing them through extremely progessive lens, gamers should be able to enjoy, discuss the gamey simple elements without being criticized or shamed by an angry mob. Dialogue about more diversity is good, if there are nasty developers that treat women badly out there they should be called out, but 'games are political'! is not an excuse to shame/bans others in a game forum. Like whatever they are just fun /cool toys, some fans enjoy to look deeply about the story themes in their favorite series, others just want to have fun.

For short some of that discussion is good and even necessary but ERA can get really really toxic always looking for the worst

But that's exactly what they do, they do shame them.

Oh look, all but 3 posts later....



That ban is just ridiculous. The guy makes a perfectly reasonable point in a reasonable way. Now of course concern trolling is one of those wonderful terms you can use, alongside sealioning, to say that a person giving a logical defence of an alternative viewpoint is not worthy of engagement, used in the same way as whataboutery etc. They just yell their buzzword and walk off claiming victory.

lol apparently American Descendents of Slaves is "not tolerated" on the forum. they don't like that it focuses on Americans directly impacted by slavery, they think reparations should be for all black people even immigrants who moved over.

kind of amazed to read this these people are serious. also mostly not black!

Oh, they've got a new special word! Expecting Era to jump on ADOS like it's the hottest new meme and jam it into as many relevant posts a possible.

Lying (or "forgetting") to post current photos on Grinder (or Tinder, or whatever) is pretty bullshit, but expecting a different result and someone to see the "true you" when you've already posted a visual lie about yourself is comedy gold. Deserved everything he got, and if he feels miserable, good - be honest with yourself first, and if the partner is into it (like you say), good and better for everyone.

By the way, to further proof Resetera is full of shit, here's a thread where they are ok with calling ICE agents Nazis.

QBRmPz5.png
Calling the ICE agents Nazis, even for a guy like me that's COLD.
 
comparing the state of Israel to the Nazis is antisemitism as per the IHRA definition


THE FULL TEXT OF THE IHRA WORKING DEFINITION: On 26 May 2016, the IHRA Plenary decided to adopt the following nonlegally binding working definition of Antisemitism: To guide IHRA in its work, the following examples may serve as illustrations: Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits. Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to: • Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. • Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions. • Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews. Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. 7 • Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust). • Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. • Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations. • Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a state of Israel is a racist endeavor. • Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. • Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis. • Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. • Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel. Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries). Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property – such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries – are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews. Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.

I have a question.

Have Resetera adopted the "likes", "Dislikes" etc for user posts on their forum yet?

From the screens here it doesn't look like they have.
Is it because it's harder to ban people on "sensitive" subjects when it's only a like or dislike?

It is isn't it...

White people need to not take it seriously when people say "I hate White people" cause they are the dominant color type apparently. Yeah, like people who say that actually do it because of institutional racism and not literal direct racism, bitch please.

EDIT. So the poor OP is Swedish and being penalised for a very USA-centric redefinition of racism.

Likes/Dislikes have been brought up and shot down for that very reason. They don't wan't their fee-fees hurt anonymously. It's the same reason they are banning polls. They want to have anyone with wrongthink brought out into the open so they can ban them. Any time a "woke" poll comes up, it shows how little most people on the site care about whatever bullshit niche identity politics the power users and mods are trying to cyberbully on to everyone on the forum.
