Generally speaking, most trans people I'm aware of continue to use the bathroom of their sex at birth, until doing so feels too inappropriate at a certain point in their transitioning. Since she was mentioned earlier in the thread, and assuming she used a stall, do you think most people would be more comfortable with blare white using the women's rest room or the men's?

Personally, I don't know why people continue to have the bathroom debate. Trans women in women's bathrooms is always the concern, but they pretty much always have stalls, so there's nothing really to see anyway. I'm not sure there's any sort of law to stop men from using the women's restroom trans or not. Is there? They might get asked to leave by the owner of the restroom, but that's about it. If someone's going to be creepy in a restroom, being trans doesn't exactly benefit them.

If it's sexuality you're concerned about, do you feel lesbians should be allowed to use women's rest rooms? How is that all that different?

I’m not too familiar with Blair White, but she looks to have transitioned considerably. I’d say it’s more fitting for her to use the women’s bathroom. I don’t believe the concern is with legitimate trans women using the women’s bathroom.

The concern is it opens the door for any perv guy to make the claim of identifying as a woman, so they can get into the ladies bathroom.

I’m not aware of any bathroom laws. I’ve never looked into it.

Alright folks, we are verging too much in overt political discussions. Lets move away from that.

I wholeheartedly believe that's intentionally, just so the discussion can be shut down by having the thread closed.

 

[gaming_again]

Nobody is insulting each other or getting particularly heated.

 

[geary]

I wholeheartedly believe that's intentionally, just so the discussion can be shut down by having the thread closed.

I don't know what else to be discussed? It's a gaming forum and the only tangent of the situation with gaming is that a company that makes games fired someone. It could be any other company in any industry. I'm baffled that this thread has 18 pages and the ones related to games and gameplay barely pass 1.

I don’t understand why you’re baffled. It’s the hottest of hot topics currently and has been for a few years.

The CCP owns Tiktok.

And? I'll ask again, what do imagined theories about the "true function" of TikTok have to do with this random user - who was just as private a citizen as Lynne was - being called out for speech that LOTT doesn't agree with, which is exactly what some of you are up in arms about this Tinker having done to Lynne.

LOTT has gone from reposting crazy uploads from folks SHE is imputing ideology on, to flat out trawling TikTok for material - including from accounts of private citizens that are not explicitly engaging in proselytization - that aligns with her perceived worldview, resharing and making sure to include commentary so that her audience knows exactly what it is that they need to be outraged about.

. . .but hey it's from accounts of "sissy boys" and "weirdos", so not problematic or controversial at all.

There are hundred of hottest topics around the world with minimum relation to gaming. I dont see them on the forum in the gaming section.

This thread is about Limited Run Games, and what they did, and how their customers feel about it. It's absolutely about gaming.

 

[RoboFu]

The biggest lie the keeps getting perpetrated is that being, straight, trans, gay, or insane is not mutually exclusive.
Meaning you can be for trans and gay but be against insane people. Just because you are against a trans person spouting insane ideology doesn’t mean you are against transgender or are transphobic.

[Panajev2001a]

her audience knows exactly what it is that they need to be outraged about.

A channel letting know what to be outraged about… welcome to any trending social media channel that deals with politics, but kudos for holding strong that reading / following a channel makes you not only a believer but proselytising it. This attitude if this kind of pattern of thinking takes hold in people (which is the intent) will be very tough when inevitably the power balance changes and your enemies hold power (and use all the levels of control and regulation you built against them)… history repeating itself.
Apparently studying and engaging people you disagree with is bad again… oh well… .

. . .but hey it's from accounts of "sissy boys" and "weirdos", so not problematic or controversial at all.

Congrats for putting childish and nasty insults in the mouth of others as well as using the beautiful multi purpose words “Problematic” and “Controversial”. What do they mean? Is it bad if others disagree with you? Why bother with that if we can agree that as soon as this label is stocked to you or what you are saying we move you out of public discourse and trying to ruin your life and your family’s life (ironic the bit about the thread of being ruined is not a case where feeling safe is important “sure you can speak freely and we want you to feel safe when you say that, but mind you if someone somewhere at some point in the future feels unhappy with that they might try to lynch you and ruin your life… buh-bye”.

Yes it does make a difference, the company did not give a shit until it felt under the non trying to raise a shitstorm about old stuff. Usually people change their mind when it happens to them, are you sure you do not have anything that will not be considered problematic that people may be able to trace back to you?

Do I not have anything problematic that people can trace back? Nobody needs to trace shit. It's all right there in the open. I'm pretty sure I've posted about some of it on here. You can go look it up if you want. The point I'm making here isn't whether that company was right or wrong to fire the chick. It's just that they had no other choice. The chick got dragged into the kind of shit no company wants a part of. Her job. Her only job was to make that company look good. She can't do that no more. It might be unfair as shit but I don't see what other option that company had

You could sum it all up with: mental illness everywhere

People with mental illness like the brony guy and era posters have a lot more power in society than they should. Normal people don't spend near as much time online as someone like the Purple Tinker because they have actual jobs, children, etc.

Unfortunately social media has infected all of society, not just the mentally ill like on resetera, so the hammer they wield is powerful enough to actually ruin your life. They can and they will... over something is simple as a Tweet or an interest in a Harry Potter video game.

Shut the internet down and most of this goes away instantly.

No surprise there. I had a feeling they'd shut it down when Purple got caught being a brony creep. And yep it happened.

 

[Topher]

Her job was to promote that company in the best possible way. That was her job. She was no longer able to do that. The company had no other choice.

Sure they had a choice. They could have stood behind their employee and not bowed to a shallow political mob. Would that have been the better choice? From a business standpoint, hard to say. Could be they were fucked no matter what they did. But if I'm going to be fucked either way then might as well be fucked doing the right thing.

Dismissing a person entirely because you disagree with an opinion they hold on one specific issue makes you no better than the lunatic ideologues that perpetrate cancel culture and all the other shitty social ills that infest modern liberal societies.

What the fuck is that?

Mental illness.

 

[Faust]

I wholeheartedly believe that's intentionally, just so the discussion can be shut down by having the thread closed.

We will remove people who continue to push political talking points, not shut down the thread.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Too much politicking in this thread I thought that was not allowed?

It's almost nearly impossible to discuss this topic without it being somewhat political. But that's not cause the issue itself is political, it's just in the past couple years become so cause people in power found a way to profit from pushing this nonsense.

So basically when it comes to social media at least, if you don't want children exposed to this garbage that HAS to mean you've sucked Trump's dick no less than 10 times. I personally think people regardless of their political position should be against this, that used to be the case for the most part.

But even everyday people see they can gain an extraordinary amount of positive social capital by carrying the torch for people like this brony guy. Until the evidence comes out that they're legit a terrible person regardless of their sexual preference/identity, then people suddenly become real quiet.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Please don't get this thread locked, this has been one of the best back and forth conversations on any platform in quite some time.

[Nitty_Grimes]

I mean I've learnt something new - brony.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Probably cos loads of shit is coming out now

They had multiple Pedophiles in their community, and one tried to abduct an 11 yearold girl at a 2014 BronyCon.

These are the people that the OP is about was referring to in that 6 or 7 year old tweet. Ironic to say the least.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I'm just speaking to how people operate purely on identity politics. Nuance is lost in discussion nowadays. I could agree with 99% of the position of those on Era but if I say the brony guy in this situation is wrong then I'm suddenly a far right extremist who wants to exterminate the gays.

So many people just throw labels around the second they encounter any sort of opposition cause it saves them from having to actually discuss whatever the topic is.

 

[Killer8]

She.
Or he, whatever. Don't indulge the crazy pronoun crowd.

Singular 'they' has been used to refer to someone in a generalized sense for a long time before pronoun nonsense came along.

 

[.Pennywise]

That is not what happened, topic was closed way earlier (shortly after the woman was fired).
Come on .Pennywise , you don’t need to bend the truth.

Not bending anything at all. In fact I skipped some info re-reading the summary. Like this guy Purple Tinker used to send Child Porn footage to his victims.

Resetera always keeps threads updated, mods are really up to speed to update thread titles and threadmarks whenever they're following any "controversy". In fact, they've kept watching the thread after being closed to do some backwards bans for people not taking Purple Tinker's side, under "dismissing transphobia".

 

[DeepEnigma]

Good point, where are all the 'journalists' now? Covering this hot trending topic that has blown up? Nah, just cover the part about a tweet then run away from the real story.

That poser Schreier won't ever write a balanced piece on this. He can't lose his purple mental illness clout.

 

[Fuz]

Singular 'they' has been used to refer to someone in a generalized sense for a long time before pronoun nonsense came along.

Common misconception.
While what you say is basically true, it's not applied in a blanket manner.

Lexicographers have determined that as far back as the 1300s, they and its related forms have been used to refer to an indefinite referent—that is, an unspecified, unknown person

For example, "I have a friend coming to the party later on", "When will they arrive?" is correct.


Again. Don't indulge the crazy pronoun crowd.

In fact, they've kept watching the thread after being closed to do some backwards bans for people not taking Purple Tinker's side, under "dismissing transphobia".

Well, your timeline is not correct and I am sure that was done on purpose.
You know that summaries are often the only thing that most people read and they easily get copy-pasted to other places.
You could easily change it around and say that the thread was closed before other events and was not adjusted afterwards (even though era admins often update them).

As for the child porn part, if it is true, add that as well.

Common misconception.
While what you say is basically true, it's not applied in a blanket manner.

For example, "I have a friend coming to the party later on", "When will they arrive?" is correct. Another form of singular they:


Again. Don't indulge the crazy pronoun crowd.

I'm not going to change the way I speak over pedantic shit like this.

As you say, what I say is basically true - and has been for everyone i've ever known in the last three decades.

I don't need a Wikipedia extract to confirm it.

Singular 'they' has been used to refer to someone in a generalized sense for a long time before pronoun nonsense came along.

Only as a stopgap until the identity of the subject is confirmed. Using it as a permanent pronoun is awkward and imprecise.

Libs of Tiktok created their twitter account in 2020 and ONLY post far right propaganda... literally...

Oh bullshit. That account only shares what crazy ass people post themselves, nothing more.

How can you get mad, when they're not even the original creator of the content? People don't like the mirror held up, that's the issue.

Feel free to keep being an ignorant, it's your prerogative.

But then don't come crying when people like purpleweirdo dictate how you gotta think.
