Because this forum is not progressive it claims to be.

You're not wrong at all, but I already had minimal expectations of the members here. The people I do expect more from though is board leadership. Seems like I made a mistake.

mod edit: reverted for the record

So calling Era users not progressive is fine but calling the mods that is ban worthy

Iztok about to have all those 6,477 messages go down the drain. 

[DocWager]

TheBire isn’t as chuddy as others claim it is. That’s why I try to avoid this place on most days.

seems that shit is on fire this morning 

since the very fat owner of furaffinity died, both their main site and their Twitter have been hacked, and presumably it's not getting fixed quickly because who even owns the site anymore and has the authority to get help from their providers 

the hacker has redirected furaffinity to go directly to kiwi farms and is leaking various private conversations from twitter supposedly involving pedo furry stuff but actually just boring disgusting fetish art commissions

kiwi disowns the hack and says they have no involvement and that the hacker is a distinguished mentally challenged fellow who isn't helping or epicly owning anyone 

this on the day of nicholas rekieta's pre-trial omnibus hearing, much anticipated, with many friends and foes in direct attendance, whose reporting may be impacted by the disruption

LMAO who just eats berries from bushes? I assume all that shit is poisonous.

Rich coming from someone who dicks anything with a pulse and a vague interest in him.

Ree seem extra angry and disappointed with each other today -

I'm sure Iztok is gonna get banned. They actually brought up how palestinians kinda hate gay people and women.   That's a big no no, it's islamophobic to bring up what islam is actually about.

Chud watch 2024. Michael Keaton on ZASLAV killing Batgirl,

“No, I didn’t care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check,” Keaton said when asked if he was disappointed in the film’s axing. GQ notes that Keaton was also “rubbing his fingers together in the universal gesture for ‘moolah.'”

[D3RANG3D]

What the fuck I love Michael Keaton now!

[DocWager]

Keaton was best friends with Norm McDonald. He was always a center-right, and sometimes center-left kind of guy given the circumstances.

Do you guys think bdumbs played hogwarts legacy?

it was the best game of 2023 and 2024. of course he did.

[malfoyking]

Another month, Hogwarts is still there. That is 7 months in a row this year now its still in the top 10.

NINTENDO BEAT HOGWARTS LEGACY

LETS GO NINTENDO!!

[DavidCroquet]

At a certain point I gotta wonder how much of the Hogwarts Legacy traffic is genuinely due to the boycott backfire.

Like, ResetEra ain't that big, but I do remember around the time of release there were lots of histrionic tweets and tiktoks going on about this. Threatening to disown friends/family if they buy it, lots of blabber about the game being...anti-semetic? blood-libel???

Now Hogwarts Legacy is like madden, where everyone you know has a playstation and JUST this game.

Oh no, my cousin who never talks to me, and talks massive shit about everyone in the family behind our backs, is now a trans, and says they’d refuse to talk to me if I play Hogwarts. Whatever shall I do!?!?

[kaleidoscopium]

Rumor is they’re going to be releasing a Directors cut version of Hogwarts Legacy this holiday season as well made by Rocksteady, likely top the charts again

User banned (3 months): islamophobia over a series of posts

[DavidCroquet]

Era should just publicize a rule that if you enter any containment thread and post contrary to the prevailing wisdom, you will be seriously banned. Iztok might as well be talking shit about the MS/Activision buyout last year or saying "teslas are great cars, actually" in the Elon thread. 

Islamaphobia is just a word they threw on there: his real offense is going into the sub-asylum and riling the inmates.

Anyway, genuine question: How trustworthy are the numbers of deaths coming out of Gaza?

I know Israel is not treating the region with kid gloves, and Netenyahu certainly doesn't give any fucks and would gladly push all Palestinians into the ocean I expect. However, I'm pretty sure the Gaza Health Ministry is the primary source of the numbers we see in the news. 

What is their historical relationship with accuracy on this kind of stuff?

[Straight Edge]

I’m only familiar with the hog warts that Nothing Loud gets from barebacking random bums in alleys.

If I'm not wrong, given the gimped nature of the consoles officially available on the mainland, most consoles that are sold there come in through Hong Kong and from overseas imports (I think this is actually one theory as to why PS5 software sales are so atrocious in Japan this gen)

Here I was just thinking I'd have a good day until I read this ableist language on your site reesetera. Day ruined!

It's impossible to form an insightful opinion on numbers because everyone involved in counting on both sides is a lying, hysterical cunt

Can I point out that there is in fact no difference between "not as progressive as the west" and "women are biologically different and therefore have different social roles and duties than men"? The latter is the norm everywhere but the West, because only the West adopted liberalism a few hundred years back.

China is a culture so misogynistic that they ended the One Child Policy because it was threatening to shift the gender balance too much towards men. Phil seems to imagine China is progressive rather than a totalitarian state built on a culture so ancient and authoritarian that even the communists backed off trying to destroy it.

[Besticus Maximus]

If you've got any illusions about whether or not western attitudes towards women are more acceptable have a look at the wiki for foot binding

[benji]

"Women have different social roles and duties than men" is also the position of the trans movement, so Phil needs to watch his ass.

[benji]

Since I have such compulsions, to give the "short version", Mao, as per Marxism-Leninism filtered through himself, tried to eliminate all of Chinese history and replace it with just Maoism. Most all of China outside of Beijing resisted this to where the CCP in the boonies didn't really enforce it and let people keep their traditional ways, this is what precipitated the Cultural Revolution. Mao was legit upset that 1949 wasn't a Year Zero and blamed all of the famines and stuff from the Great Leap Forward on this. (I mean what else was he going to do? Admit socialism failed? But he also personally hated any philosophy or history that bound him.) That went so poorly that when Deng came in he essentially said that the CCP should respect all that stuff and that "socialism with Chinese characteristics" was just an improvement on it, not a replacement (hence "Chinese characteristics"), so the Party left anything that didn't contradict the state's goals alone. The CCP today basically identifies itself as Chinese uber alles and will reference Chinese history as much as it does Mao. 

China's "liberal" period was like a decade long and never got much of anywhere. Hong Kong and Macao are the only places that ever liberalized and those had everything to do with being Western enclaves.

Shorter version: Mao got his butt kicked trying to replace Confucius so now Xi claims he's in the lineage of both Confucius and Mao synthesizing the best parts of both.

And in the background 80m people died and 70% of everything of historical interest in china was destroyed by some absolute whoppers
