No, I think the whole conversation about pronouns and misgendering tends to sound a bit aspie, like "Well technically *snort*. It ignores the rather obvious human and compassionate component to a degree that is revealing of the speaker.

There's no reason to be cruel to people who are just trying to live their lives in a way that doesn't make them want to die. No semantic arguments trumps the rather obvious human component. Just be nice, man. It costs nothing.

Asking people to deny what they know to be true costs plenty.

 

[ANDS]

It most certainly is not. The quality of discussions on era is absurdly low. It's full of shallow opinions expressed by people with extremely limited knowledge of video games. You'll typically find a somewhat well written OP that expresses a surface level opinion, which then leads to one sentence replies either agreeing or disagreeing.

Hooboy.

. . .also, I will never understand why people who are so opposed to so-called toxicity of other communities on the internet, are so insistent on bringing that to other communities on the internet.

On the fucking nose. The casual cruelty that gets slipped into these genuinely good conversations opposed to weaponized outrage - that receive ZERO pushback - is something else.

Finally caught up with this drama. Fucked up. Glad to see people even on twitter sticking up with her. If I had a company I'd hire her tbh, maybe someone will.

You aren't helping them by affirming their pronouns. Wanting to be something you are not means you actually hate yourself. Changing what you hate doesn't help just like an overweight person getting liposuction doesn't help them with their self-esteem.

Sometimes these people really are confused, but most of the time it's just been pushed on them with no real psychological help, that's why it's not prevalent equally in all regions amongst all ages.

Whats the reason behind the ban? Did i miss something or is CP2077 a controversial topic there?

The trans community found it offensive, for reasons. So naturally, people on Era went through social media posts of the guy who created the OT ( Black Chamber ) to dig up dirt on him suggesting he wasn't all that trans friendly either. Just Era being Era. Anyway, the OT was left up during this controversy and the mods put explicit instructions that posters must be allowed to discuss the game despite it all.

So I posted what I did and other posters got butthurt about it since everyone else was all enraged about Black Chamber and I dared to talk about the actual game, as was allowed. So because the mods at Era have no backbone, they banned me, ignoring their own instructions. To be fair, I was absolutely testing their resolve and was pretty sure I was going to be banned.

Era is fascist thought police incarnate.

I don't care about being compassionate if the cost is sacrificing reality and endanger the lives of half of the population for it. There are only 2 genders. If someone is so mentally unwell that seeing that basic fact triggers him/her, then that's on that person.

The narrative that if someone that identifies as something else will attempt self deletion at some point is not true, there was no epidemic of self deletion before the ideology took hold.

Are you referring to the picture I posted of the mod saying banning would occur?

 

[22:22:22]

Please don't go about thinking everyone with autism is like your typical era dude.

Aspie. Assburger.

I don't mind but when it's used just to describe stupid people it loses it's meaning and such. Most of these types aren't on the spectrum at all in think. Social introverted outcasts that live 24/7 in a regime like echo chamber where being a victim of mental issues gets you props.

Having autism isn't something to be proud of. It's fucking hard to deal with.

No those 3 blobs on the couch

 

[22:22:22]

Please man. No offence but I wouldn't read that. It's just a reality I don't want to have in my life. Again no offense.

oops sorry was just browsing and don't know why it replied

but i was genuinely surprised by the responses on Twitter to LRG(even my comment got a bunch of likes ) people are actually standing against this company and the instigators.

Inasne. Reading some of the pages here, just unbelievable. It's always astound me that the so called keepers of democracy and freedom of speech will only allow their point of view, when it's something they don't agree on then they will call you racist or whatever, perhaps the best example is with what's happening with Hogwarts Legacy and this.
Happy to see reasonable people support her.

 

[22:22:22]

Should we really have these REE threads when the person in question has ahem particular interests.

Sorry staff don't wanna backseat mod or anything it's just drama regarding imbecils and a questionable employee and most importantly it's just speculation at this point.

If it were like ree in here then the vast majority of folks would be banned for their "dismissiveness".

Retardera shinning. Nintendo should DCMA the avatar, it's really bad rep

Oh, BTW, fuck you Retardera, hope it's not dismissive, go fuck your ponies with your mental illness.

The thing I love about the karma is, the guy look at the historic post of his target, but not waited 5 seconds to think 'they can look at my historic post too'.

 

[Josemayuste]

This is exactly the type of person I'd imagine is behind all of this shit..

These kind of individuals should stop using Internet, for their own health primarily, it is kind of self explanatory that he/she/whatever took its sweet time searching among six years old tweets.. only to call out someone because she liked some game over Internet.

If someone told me when I was a child that I'd live to see shit like this I'd have laughed out loud in his face..

Definitely, I thought this was a "standard" cancelation, but more murky details just keep on coming up.

 

[spons]

ResetEra is a leftist KiwiFarms at this point. Shaming, doxxing, dogpiling, all of it in public. Fuck 'em.

 

[93xfan]

Then I would suggest the better strategy to do that is to be reasonable about it, and to emphasize the need for caution, a long process, and qualified professional evaluation.

I’ve been more than reasonable about it. No off-label medicine including puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for minors, as both cause irreparable and irreversible harm.

You ignored a large portion of what I posted. I don’t think you’re open to knowing about the harmful side effects if these “treatments”.

If you "push back" by going full transphobe, ranting about pronouns, misgendering people, and framing it as a conspiracy of perverts to groom children, you completely undermine any reasonable concern for kids.

Didn’t do any of that. That’s another topic entirely.

It's people like that that derail the conversation and keep anyone from even having the discussion. Don't take that bait.

I think we should focus on the harm being done with these “treatments”.

I hope you’re aware of the harmful side effects and have researched it for yourself.

Anyway I don't want to derail this conversation forever, I think there's a more important discussion to be had about if employees have a right to feel safe at their jobs even if they say controversial things in their off hours.

I’ll close in saying I don’t believe in messing up someone’s body to appease their mind. Some people think they should have their healthy limbs removed based on a feeling and sense of self. Don’t be a part of this idiocy.

The guy being a brony makes so much more sense now. I also love that he fucked around and now he’s finding out. For those who don’t know what bronies are like, here you go:

 

[Velcro Fly]

As much as this place irritates me sometimes, I would rather drive a railroad spike into both of my eyes than read a resetera thread ever again.

The absolute hypocrisy of that place with what some of their staff posted here shortly before the split is disgusting and vile. Plenty of dismissiveness, racism, etc. Plenty of people vouching for their friends to take heat off of staff. They hold people to standards that they themselves do not meet and then get upset when you point it out.

That being said, LRG is a private company and can do what they want. Some of the stuff i've seen in comments and quote retweets on their twitter posts is by far worse than what their community manager did. Whole thing has really brought some of the nasties out of the woodwork.

I think maybe rather than just firing her and doing so in a really public way, they have a talk with her and get to know her head space a little better on things. And then if she is like yeah fuck all trans people then I guess she doesn't fit in with your company culture. I think publicly firing someone is probably not a great look, but they have every right to not want to have a person representing them who does not share the values of the company. She was linking to their twitter on her page.

 

[Labadal]

^She was expressing hype for a video game, and that was not liked by a mentally deranged person, so they fine combed her profile 7 years back.

They (LRG) can do whatever they want, but if that doesn't scream wrongful termination, I don't know what does.

We don't live in a dictatature. We're supposed to live in the "free world".

If people defending LRG can't wrap their heads around how wrong this situation is, I really don't know what to say. People are allowed to feel/like/follow/etc whoever and whatever they want, even if I do not agree with it.

The "this is the current state of the world" does not fly with me. There is nothing free about it. We have seen several wrongful cancellations that have ruined careers, due to online mobs.

It's sad that I can't post whatever I want on social media with my real info. This shouldn't be the world we live in. It's even worse to get screwed over a 7 year old tweet of all things.

 

[ManaByte]

If she lived in CA it’s illegal to fire someone for their political views. LRG could be majorly fucked if she does.

Lol. why would anyone be nice to people who want to force you to change the basic understanding of biology.

Telling kids it’s OK to chop of their dicks,
forcing companies to destroy peoples livelihood. Telling others to be tolerant while they themselves are not.

Fuck that. Be nice to people who deserve it.

I did not get banned. Yes, sometimes they get over the top (like with CP 2077 and HP), but overall quality of the discussion is really high.
I don’t care much about non-gaming related topics, I don’t even go to other subforums.

Imagine defending ResetEra/dismissing criticism of them and trying to claim that the employee was "Questionable". If anything is questionable here, it is you three.

Defending Era at this point is like defending KiwiFarms.

Saying I dont want none of that sites BS here for drama?

You ok bro?

You the Era dude here Mr. Kneejerk moralist

 

[geary]

Any chance that the employee could sue for wrongful termination? Do you know any cases where a person sued a company for breaching contract due to these type of reasons?

You are painting the innocent employee as having "Questionable tastes" and insinuating that she may have been at fault. I.E. the same exact thing that Era folk are doing.

 

[Certinty]

Just to clarify this.

Era members considered that woman a transphobic because she followed accounts who are.

Yet they supported someone who is a stalker, pedophile, creep, abuser and far more.

Using Era’s own logic against them, that means every member on there who supported him/her/whatever is also a stalker, pedo, creep and abuser, right?

JK Rowling has stated things that angered some individuals. They now consider anything associated with JK Rowling, including the Harry Potter Franchise as being transphobic.

I would suggest you re-read what I wrote. I never said stated that you said she was innocent. I am stating the exact opposite. You are assuming guilt and painting her in a poor light, doing the exact thing that the typical Era user would do: highlighting and gaslighting with statements such as "ahem particular interests" and stating she is a "questionable" employee.
