I will never not laugh when I see that gif, don’t care about the context lol.They call black Republicans/Independents self hating all the time and also call them words like “coon” and post the tap dancing Daffy Duck gif.
Yet NeoGAF is a den of racists?
Why can’t we just ignore JK Rowling? She’s saying offensive shit, ok. But as a “fan” of the books, I really don’t give a fuck about JK. I honestly don’t think I would have even sought her Twitter out had I not seen the threads.

This may disappoint you, but in my 26 year life experience being on this earth, I have never met or had the urge to call someone a non-female/non-male just based on appearances alone.Come on now, a non-binary gender choice isn't rocket science and isn't an "Era" thing.
Non-binary gender - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Much less I never had the urge to use a pronoun traditionally associated with a group of people.
If someone wants to call themselves a girl or boy and they make the visual effort to match it, there's no issue. But I can't look at someone who has all the biological characteristics of a male or female and assume they're a legendary 3rd gender. Again, it would require them having two heads or something before it ever crossed my mine.

It's not about you - it's about the other. If he/she wants to be called by the "they" pronoun, why not just respect it? You're telling me you can't do it just because you don't like it? It doesn't change a thing in your life.

I identify as the King of England.
So what if I dress up in clothes that came from Target? Respect my royalty or you're a Nazi bigot!

So when you're walking down the street, you just push everyone out of the way?
If they complain, you just shout "Earn my respect, you don't just get it!" and stomp off like a dick?
No, you don't, you show some basic civil courtesy that we all do in polite society.
You aren't being asked to genuflect before the high duke of pronouns, just....not be an open dick about basically nothing.

Words do not constitute violence.
Even the idea that referring to someone's biological appearance is somehow malicious crosses into insane territory.
I treat every gender the same. No one has died.

Yeah, I mean - I won't argue with you mate, you're free to dismiss this matter if you don't agree with it, but I don't think it's too much to ask to at least understand the concept, I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to do that.

I understand the concept.
I just don't need to trip over myself on a subject that personally requires someone to tell me they're actually a third gender or not. It's just not important when addressing society at large.
In the same vein, I don't meet enough royal people to ensure my language treats everyone like his/her majesty.
Scientifically speaking, only 1.7% of my country's population even consider themselves under the LGBT umbrella. It is just statistically very very very rare....

I don't get it either, i mean i can see someone choosing 'nonbinary' in a survey if say, they don't want or care picking male or female, like 'i don't think its important to give this information'and that being a valid option, or someone who isn't sure what gender he/she identifies yet if he/she is thinking of transitioning.
But an actual third gender defined as 'they'sounds like sci fi to me, even as someone who separates genders and sexual orientation, its easier to just say you don't care about genders but even thats not very common

Cancel culture is now running up against a new problem: What happens when people are just so far above your level that they are uncancellable?
J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, Mel Gibson, Kanye West, Joe Rogan, the list of people who are literally rich beyond your comprehension, famous beyond your wildest imagination, and influential in ways that make you Reeeeeee will continue to grow. Ree should stick to small targets like indie video game developers, because these people are in another galaxy. But yeah, keep trying to cancel people who literally aren't aware you exist and wouldn't give a fuck if they ever found out, Ree!

I'm not living my life as "The emperors new clothes".
When a fucking childrens story calls out this enabling of people that just want to be special and get attention when they have earned neither, take a step back and think about what you are promoting. You're telling me your argument would be the same for people identifying at attack helicopters, Deers or wolves?

I try to think of non-binary pronouns in a real life context rather than an ERA context where people are screaming about it.
If someone in real life requests that I use their preferred pronouns then sure. If nothing else it’s a path of least resistance even if I don’t fully get it.
To me that’s different than authoritarian language policing that places like ERA and elsewhere pursue. I’m sure slipping up on someone’s preferred pronoun makes you literally Hitler.

They have a ban quota to keep up. The less low hanging fruit around, the more everyone will be under a microscope. There are some very angry trans people over there. I sympathise with them, I really do. They were dealt a shit hand in life, but its not an excuse to take that anger out on people that did nothing to you.

As a straight white man (god, that sounds ERA as fuck lol) it would really interest me to discuss these issues with an IRL transperson tbh
Just don't believe hyper-sensitive ERA trannies, pissed off at life and full on meds, are representative of the LGBT community.
Most of the gay dudes I met IRL were chill as fuck, not at all like the gay people I saw on TV/in movies.

This discourse about the dangers of anonymous polling has gotten me thinking. What is the 2020 presidential election but a bad faith poll? There's the hurtful option of "Donald J. Trump" (and "Jo Jorgenson" and "Howie Hawkins") that some people will just vote for and run rather than staying around to explain their bigotry. Will they be banned? No. This lack of consequences for harming minorities implies we shouldn’t allow such poll options to exist in the first place, it just allows a weight of indifference to dismiss the concerns of people who the question affects.

"Full disclosure, I actually liked your work back in the day"
What we have here is a prime example of SJW distraction. It's a new technique that has become popular in the last year once they realized that flying into a community with a full on SJW rhetoric will get called out. They do it here on GAF too and once you see it it becomes another way to easily identify them.
So they throw in a distraction line to appear to be giving a balanced opinion and criticism can be deflected by pointing to that distraction line. It's basically just a criticism shield.

Just skimmed that thread and the first 10 posts. There's so many fucked up FGC people and threads it's getting boring.Wow.
Nakkiel (DBFZ player) accused of sexual assault (& Sonicfox defending him)
Just a heads-up, Sonic Fox's pronouns are they/them, not he/him.www.resetera.com
How the fuck does a single person get called "they"? Does he have two heads?
Does Reeee hate furryboy Sonicfox?
Seems like people were ragging on him for defending.
The sad part is that most of the people banned for transphobia over there were people that wanted to learn and were already on their side.

It's just the left eating their own again for failing the purity test.
Sonicfox, JK Rowling, Contrapoints were all heroes of the cause, right up until they went "Off script". Then they became the enemy.

Another tactic (you often see that on ERA) is starting out with a pretty specific accusation, like rapist, misogynist, racist.
When you can't prove shit, you throw out a wider net. "accused of sexualt assault", "problematic", "suspect history".
In this example, the Gamespot dude lowers the stakes to catch-all terms like "bro talk" and "microaggressions", so he can't be proven wrong.
Say what you will about Angry Joe (and his crew) but there's a reason that his shit is more/about-as succesful as decade-old "journalistic" outlets: They discuss games, like actual consumers do.
No average gamer uses artsy-fartsy terms like "tour de force" or some shit. Here is a snippet from the Gamespot review:
Who the fuck talks like that about videogames? Fuck your "emotional weight"
No surprise that the "big outlets" are trying to cancel a guy who:
- actually plays the whole game (retail version) on stream at a realistic pace
- gives his honest opinion, explains how he ended up there and let's his buddies chime in
- focuses on the things gamers care about
- doesn't have to rely on provided review copies
Only natural that gamers rather rely on him that failed NY Times writers, that are dependent on publishers, have to finish the games in 3 days, play in secret and can only talk about parts of the games.

Since people on ERA are whining about the word female, why how and when became female a 'slur? Like what the actual hell?
Are there women who are honest to god actually offended to have female as pronoun?

'Othering us'?....?????

I've already caught people in the act and I'm just shaking my head at it. I really don't like it when you see guys use the term female to refer to woman. It makes it sound explicitly like your othering us.

Mod Edit: This is a sensitive topic. Discussion is welcome, but posts that dismiss the experiences of others, as well as drive-by posts simply reacting to the title will be actioned accordingly. I see this everywhere and it really rustles my jimmies, but never more than when I see dudes say...

The OP don't say anything on why it would be dehumanising or anything? Wouldnt feminist be a 'slur' as well since that word is sprung from female and not woman.

I call bullshit on this....the amount of mods on that site and the amount of logging that goes on for infractions I would find it hard to believe they left something that can’t show who voted out of the design
In saying that the site itself appears to be a patch job as there are groups activity finding holes in their security and some even have access to functions which could give them admin access if they wanted....would be pretty funny to see that.

Ah well yes it is always fun when the anti-facists wants to police what is allowed to be held as opinions.
Why don't you model your community after the NK juche ideology already? They pretty much already strive for that type of society.

However, anyone with a bit of backend knowhow and admin can doa few joins to get the data or just change the poll to public and back again:
However, what the fuck is that about? So they can review who voted 'wrong' and then ban them? WTF is wrong with these people.

Please consider allowing poll results to be seen, i.e. who voted for what, so certain individuals (administrators) can see who is active on the forum.

I have the opportunity and it was like with gay people, you heard some rough things, which you cannot as a straight white male repeat. Anyway I don't believe that true trans-people are some fucking snowflakes, because that journey is tough. But we also have a trans person in here, one of the nicest members. I am not sure if it's appropriate to tag her here tho.

In North Korea you actually can cast a ballot against the Kim regime. Ballots do come premarked so everyone can just put them in the box but you can request an unmarked ballot which you then have to fill out publicly in full view of everyone. Ironically, the regime is actually fairly lax about punishing people for doing this as they know the result will still be 99+% in favor and the votes against tend to be for petty personal reasons with the local candidates not actual anti-regime stuff.
They're at this point discussing a more restrictive system than North Korean "democracy" for polls on their video game forum.

No it's full blown communism/socialism. Like in the Soviet Republic, DDR and North Korea (imagine voting for the wrong one in North Korea, probably same consequences as if you vote wrong on ResetEra if these people were in charge). Only no real communist would ever whine about such non-issues as these wusses of course.

Is 'That Pure Potato'
That's why I find it funny when they say the site isn't "safe for women". Almost all of the "females" are dudes. They ban almost all of the real women, especially the straight ones. What a fucked up group of mods.
It's just modified XenForo. If the default for the software is to not to include usernames/ID's to anonymous votes in the poll function within sql, that can be changed (my guess is it may still be able to be scrubbed from sql or some logs, there just isn't a front-end feature, but no one on Ree staff knows sql or basic web server shit, lets be honest). Two problems for Ree:
1. Since SweetNicole got an actual paying job and stopped being the admin they don't have anyone on staff with the knowledge to make the modification
2. What's his face who basically abandoned the site to his lapdog Dubs so he can sit back and earn the ad revenue in peace sure as hell isn't going to pay a contractor to do it
