https://www.resetera.com/threads/90s-black-women-were-rocking-e-girl-hairstyles-before-a-lot-of-yall-even-knew-what-that-was.809511/

Will anyone dare to tell Royalan that pretty much none of those are e-girl hairstyles? I mean when you just Google e-girl the most important part seems to be that it's a multicolored hairstyle

But all of modern pop culture is built upon the work of Black America, the 80s and 90s especially. K-Pop is just repackaged late 80s R&B and no one can tell me otherwise.

It goes even further back, rock n roll was invented by black musicians in the 40s and 50s and white musicians lifted their music wholesale and popularized it.

But also, isn't it kind of a known thing that a lot of black culture in particular gets "discovered" and subsequently stolen by other cultures?

I realize that the point is that they're from the 90s, where the best my culture could contribute was Jennifer Aniston's shag/bob haircut.

These people are so pathetic.

in an era discord someone posted a pic that ran down all the music types that came from Black culture

morrigan showed up out of nowhere a fucking hour later to say "i only listen to rock in that list"

Never thought I would see an Andrew Tate thread on ERA in 2024.

You wouldn't if it was literally anybody else posting it.

B dumbs locked it right after 

Chubigans is so fucked.

How long until the permaban for something innocuous?

Right? If this was anyone else, they'd be banned. At the very least, the thread would have been immediately locked. But this is just another example of B-Dumbs thinking the rules don't apply to him like it does the plebs.

Thinking?

The rules clearly don't apply to bdumbs, nepnep, Slayven and the rest of the mods.

It’s okay to platform Andrew Tate now, because B Dumbs decided to. 😂

https://www.resetera.com/threads/andrew-tate-goes-full-nazi.809529/

Why are we giving this clown any sort of attention

Normally I'd say the same, but the truth is he's huge with the kids regardless of everything he's done and it shows just how far Twitter has fallen. A few years ago this sort of thing would be unthinkable and yet here we are.

The fact is this: we're probably in for dark times ahead. Regardless of anything else, some really horrid shit is getting normalized and nobody is doing anything about it.

1. That tweet isn't remotely "full Nazi", there's ResetERA.com staff members who have gotten closer.
2. The OP is just a tweet, something that's rather explicitly banned for most non-staff members.
3. What exactly is B-Dubs thinking he needs to inform people on a forum that would reflexively hate Tate no matter what about? Further what does he think "somebody" needs to do about this? Murder Tate? Murder Elon? What is this supposed to be other than "will no one rid me of this meddlesome influencer"? But from the world's apparently dumbest forum admin on an irrelevant "video game" forum.

Notice that he didn't respond to any of the questions about why it was worth posting other than to claim that unnamed people are in denial about something. (Definitely not B-Dubs in denial about how much he sucks.)

[benji]

Also, Andrew Tate may be a complete dumbass and likely criminal but if you think it's beyond the pale to even entertain a hypothetical counterfactual history or you must be an actual Nazi then you're dumber and probably more immoral than he is.

Yes, the Nazis were the bad guys in World War II and should have lost, even despite the Soviets and Canadians getting part of the win. You should especially be willing to entertain the counterfactual if your position that you expound every day is that the United States is one of the worst scourges in human history built entirely on Pure Evil™, should probably be wiped out for promoting liberalism/capitalism/white supremacy/Zionism/trans genocide/Palworld/etc. and anyone who opposes it for any reason should be assumed to be a brave resistance against colonialist oppression.

Why the fuck does he care that Tate is huge with kids?  Oh right, he said creepy pedo stuff back in GAF.

Good thing ABK started that Workers Alliance, right? 

Right? 

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Oh. Wait. They're okay. Thank GOD.

Microsoft’s announcement that it will be laying off 1,900 video game workers makes clear that, even when you work at a successful company in an extremely profitable industry, your livelihood is not protected without a voice on the job.

While CWA-represented members at Zenimax, Raven, and Blizzard Albany will not be impacted by these cuts, we are heartbroken that the lives of so many dedicated and talented video game workers will be disrupted.

Every video game worker deserves not only their fair share, but also the peace of mind that comes from having a say over the impact of job cuts.

Through organizing, workers have established basic workplace practices that are now common —from the eight hour work day, to the five day workweek. By coming together and exercising their right to organize, workers in the video game industry can make layoff protections standard practice for all workers. This is the power of organizing.

We will continue to support workers at Microsoft and across the video game industry who want to have a union voice on the job.

Edit:

Nevermind.

For the love of god do not post his work here. He is REALLY fucking awful. Stonetoss levels of bigotry. Go check his Twitter (the one in the comic, not that poster)

Went and followed the Twitter trail, how do these people obsess over these accounts? The comics author has 950 follows at the time of this post, most likely 25-40% of those came from this new pal world comic. It’s a generic edgy racist/antisemite comic strip ala stonetoss, it’s just weird to me they even have a list of the “big bad evil” guys ready to go.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Can all of you stop and think about the well being of staff?

I'm thinking about the staff and all of the danger they have been put in.

That's actually a pretty funny comic. Riffing off the whole Shadow is just Sonic, but with guns thing (i.e. palworld is Pokemon with guns).

I think Nintendo isn't affected yet with layoffs? Please correct me if I am wrong on this. Their Switch idea seems to be golden. Maybe not popular in my friend group, but you can't deny they are on a difference dev cycle and therefore a much smaller cost risk with games?

Nintendrones cannot help themselves.

[Boredfrom]

It's in the same place as the rest of the world. Record profits for shareholders and millionaires, suffering and misery for the rest of us.

 

Motherfucker get a fucking grip!

[benji]

Why do they think it's a bubble?

[benji]

The gaming industry is in extremely bad shape for everyone except the shareholders and high-level executives at the top of the pile.

Lots of indie developers are shutting down. SOME indie games are becoming huge hits, sure, but lots more indies are finding it increasingly hard to compete and be profitable in the modern era.

Ah, yeah, remember the good old days when every single indie developer could just print money by shitting their pants and scaling a few stolen models? This is why I hate the modern era where there's more games than ever releasing constantly.

[PogiJones]

You're asking if Nazi is more or less bigoted than Nazi.

[benji]

I'm just talking about compared to the past where most games were good and developers could stay in business with the workers being treated great.

Yeah, okay, go back and actually play some of that sheer drek that came out every month other than the titles that made names for themselves then look at the credits and the history of the companies to see how long they lasted and how many games they put out. Then hit up the Game Developer and other magazine archives to read some of multi-decades worth of postmortems about manhours and crunch.

I've read some revisionist bullshit on Resetera, but this one has to take the cake for sheer stupidity.

[davepoobond]

I feel for the 1900 employees that got fired. As long as none of them are:

Rich
Transphobic
Property owners
Making more money than me
Managers
Fetishizising their sexual partners
Supporting Israel
Voting for Trump
Voting for Biden
Enjoying working in an office with other people
Casually racist
In the boys club 
Ok with playing palworld, hogwarts legacy
Supporting capitalism
Loving huge corporations (like Microsoft)

I guess that leaves about 100 people to feel sad for. I am feeling a lot less weight on my shoulders now.  I am glad I am not very empathetic to begin with.

It was conceived as a survival game, like Minecraft and Rust, but with more polish and fewer bugs.

Is this the dumbest description of a game ever written in a "serious" publication?

It hits a great spot of being way too unspecific for people who know videogames but also making way too specific references for people who don't know about videogames

[Polident]

Reading into palworld’s appeal, honestly, it’s less the guns and more the freedom to explore and experiment in a monster collection game? Something people have been wanting since 1998 and something Pokémon won’t offer.

they understand so little about me and had the wrong impression of me throughout most of my life that they somehow never saw me being trans coming.

It's stuff like this that makes it very hard to support Shreds. I appreciate their suicide scams and "I'm a lesbian"gaslighting campaigns. The above is a bit too far though. It's basically an open goal for lazy transphobes who will see this



and think, well, nobody could see that coming. Because let's be honest. That is not a new look. He's been rocking that since the first Motley Crue record. You can't blame his parents for not recognizing it's Ma'am shithead, just because he's slapped on a pair of lady glasses

Ok, so melody's parents took him in again after he got evicted for being a piece of shit vagrant. 

What's the bet they even refer to him by his new trans name rather than the name they gave him at birth?

This is the epitome of the screeching trans Reee meme.
