"Do you Love someone from Era"?

blame space <3

The usual lunatics turn a "fun" thread into a creepy one.

Off topic but I never get loving someone that you never see. I've seen someone from a Discord server that was married with another person from the server and they only see each other once irl for marriage. This is the most nonsense thing I've ever heard.

If it works, it works. Let people love how they want.

No you fucking weirdo. That's not normal and sounds more like some sort of tax avoidance scheme.

If they love BS so much they should lick the admins and mods boots to unban them or why they were banned 

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Every time I mention something like this I get shouted down (which is kind of ironic considering what I am about to say), but in my experience when men say something insensitive or not well thought out, they get absolutely eviscerated and made to feel a fool. Like because they were wrong on something they're a bad person and deserve to feel bad. There's absolutely zero space to be wrong about something, the moment you say something wrong, everything else you say can't be trusted. And in my experience, people (men specifically) react poorly to that and unfortunately usually double down.

Should they do that? No probably not, but it is happening. I don't have the answers but we need to foster a space for (specifically young) men to figure stuff out without being called a fucking idiot to their face (even tho they often are).

Reasonable post that's completely true - you must be perfect all the time, especially with the Messy's of the world keeping dossiers on everyone for every perceived error.

Then this response...

This post reminds me of that other thread about the "Incel-to-trans pipeline".
In a world that seems to demand perfection and being "on" all the time, there's no place for people to be imperfect, or... themselves, and it leads to a lot of frustrated people that feel like they don't fit in anywhere.
It's kind of a 'two sides of the same coin' type of thing, though this seems to be the bad route.

I guess the root cause is... I dunno, "the patriarchy" in general?

Yes, it's the "patriarchy" that does this, not the nutcases (many of whom are on Era) who have learned to never forgive and never forget and never accept that people can make mistakes, change, and improve.

I guess I just find it odd that she basically gets off and not that I'm hankering for revenge and see her rotting in jail for years or decades but I dunno, just feels a bit odd. Like if you had a psychotic episode from weed and went on a mass shooting rampage would you be able to get off so easily?

It's privilege, I don't really want her in prison either, but she should at least be committed and be treated as well. If any guy did this, they'd be serving hard time for sure.

Nah, I think Seirith got married to someone who's much older than them.  They dated when she was in highschool I think.  I'm sure if Messy's wife had a Ree account her posts would drop hints to send someone over to rescue her and the kids.

I vaguely remember him mentioning she had an account but didn't post for some inane reason. Like, she felt intimidated or something. He probably forced her to sign up so he had an alt for his frequent bans.

We find that women receive prison sentences that average a little over 2 years
less than those awarded to men. Even after controlling for circumstances such as
the severity of the offense and past criminal history, women receive more lenient
sentences.

https://docs.iza.org/dp2870.pdf

Wikipedia

A 2001 University of Georgia study found substantial disparity in the criminal sentencing that men and women received "after controlling for extensive criminological, demographic, and socioeconomic variables". The study found that in US federal courts, "blacks and males are... less likely to get no prison term when that option is available; less likely to receive downward departures [from the guidelines]; and more likely to receive upward adjustments and, conditioned on having a downward departure, receive smaller reductions than whites and females".[9]

In 2005 Max Schanzenbach found that "increasing the proportion of female judges in a district decreases the sex disparity" in sentencing which he interprets as "evidence of a paternalistic bias among male judges that favors female offenders".[10]

In 2006 Ann Martin Stacey and Cassia Spohn found that women receive more lenient sentences than men after controlling for presumptive sentence, family responsibilities, offender characteristics, and other legally relevant variables, based on examination of three US district courts.[11]

In 2012 Sonja B. Starr from University of Michigan Law School found that, controlling for the crime, "men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do," and "[w]omen are…twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted", also based on data from US federal court cases.[12][13

From the constructive thread
Plinkerton

Alternate take: people in that thread have lost their minds just because one single person got banned.

Like fuck, almost 2,000 people lost their jobs today - that's 2,000 families that are potentially struggling to pay rent/mortgages and put food on the table. And that's in a games industry job market that is clearly absolutely brutal right now so where are they supposed to find new employment? And fine, even if you lack empathy and don't care about these people, how about this: the brain drain this will lead to, as those people seek employment outside the industry, will absolutely make the games you play worse. So this impacts you too.

And yet the community and that thread has taken it upon itself to turn that news story into creating a conspiracy theory about the forum's mods and a commentary on how the forum is run. Its such a bizarre thing to see posts about how awful the mods are in a thread about 1,900 people losing their jobs.

Honestly, I don't know or care whether that ban was warranted or not, but maybe lets focus on the important story just for today?

User Banned (3 days): inflammatory comparisons

Honestly, this thread reads like when Republicans complain about Dems response to school shootings. "This isn't a time for politics."

GulfCoastZilla

Honestly what good are rules if people in the community are just going to disregard them?

Usually when shit gets out of hand, the big maroon paragraph gets broken out, the mods or admin course correct the thread and everyone continues on. I have never witnessed until today a group of people just be like "no you're wrong" to a mod post before. Like I think they forgot they aren't the ones that have to deal with the fall out here when messy threads go down.

People post here because there are rules and structure. Things are not always going to go your way and continuing to do dumb shit after a mod warning post seems like a no brainer way to get put in time out. It's not about what's right or wrong it's about being blatantly defiant.

They're starting to become self aware

lmao I didn't think anyone here would remember him. I knew him well, we weren't "friends" but I knew him irl because we were on the same french forums from 2004 until around 2016 (geez, writing it down it's a fucking long time), and we ended up meeting at conventions like Japan Expo in Paris. I always had a VIP pass since I was a journalist and I let him sneak in the VIP area once. I was with my girlfriend and at some point I had to go to the bathroom so I left them for a few minutes, and she later told me that during that time he went into a mega rant about Street Fighter 4 and she had to pretend she understood what he was saying despite not getting a single word coming out of his mouth.
A few years ago (2018 I think) we were on the same discord server and one day he was ranting about ERA and the mods, including Morrigan (who I'm sure has no clue who that guy is lol), and I told him that I talked to her a few times and that she was cool... He went berserk lmao, that was like an unforgivable sin to him, and he started to get more and more agressive towards me and eventually left the server after insulting me in all caps a few weeks later. The people on the server were like "what the fuck was that?" but tbf they had stopped trying to understand that guy a long time before that. Very weird and unhinged dude. Also he wore dark sunglasses all the time, even indoors and at night.

Hahahaha wow. You're correct, I have no idea who that is. Guess I'm flattered to know that I live rent-free in the head of some idiots whom I'm literally

Serebii Joe blaming the heat wave in Japan for the poor sales of the Wii U.

My favourite was Serebii Joe playing a pirated copy of a DS Pokémon game on release, getting called out for playing a pirated copy (because the game doesn't give you Pokeballs if it detects piracy), then doubling down on it, claiming that that's just how the game is.

I should probably give context as to what happened. Basically we were texting about the incoming season, & she talked about how Fall starts on September 1st. Me, not exactly being good with sarcasm, took her seriously & tried to correct her. It eventually led to an argument that made me hurt her (not physically, obviously) over the fact that she was ignoring science to fit what seemed to me like her world view. Now we're done. After six months, we're done. I feel like shit over this, as I really did love her. But I guess it's like what she said, we really were opposites.

At the very least, she's willing to be friends later down the road, so I can be somewhat happy about that. But this whole thing made me realize my own faults. Me being a hardass, me being unable to tell sarcasm (especially over text), everything. I hate bullies, & I didn't even realize that I was being the very thing I despise. Now all I want is to be better, so that never happens again. I'm saying all this here because I need to vent, be honest about what I did somewhere.

I'm not particularly sure Melody is employable for a number of reasons. It's no good to be grifting off the trans jihad and then spunking the money on shite but I'm not convinced we're dealing with a person capable of understanding basic life shit. I don't think it's cynical, I think this is the reality that Melody lives in, and has had constructed by bad actors via premium doses of internet.

Don't confuse melody's complete and utter laziness for anything but complete and utter laziness. 

This is a person who has been indulged their entire life and has never had to take on the slightest level of responsibility because no one had ever said to them, "Get the fuck up out of bed, have a shower and go get a job you lazy cunt."

This is the end result of the entitlement culture that these imbeciles have been born into. They were all told they were special, that their particular needs were more important, that someone would always pick up the pieces of their bad decisions.

If Melody can make YouTube videos and beg online, they can clean tables, wash dishes or pick up garbage. Obviously operating heavy machinery would be out of the question because of public safety, but don't tell me they couldn't find some sort of job that would mean they wouldn't have to debase themselves by begging.

I'm not fully convinced, the clips I've seen of the streams indicate someone who is a few loaves short of a bakery at minimum. Even the written content betrays a certain...development issue.

But I accept that this is speculation and I could be wrong.

a good bakery should have many of its loaves missing because they sold them  

melody's bakery is overflowing with deformed and odd-smelling loaves that no one is buying
