That's the interesting thing about studying era as a micro version of a small percentage of bad admins and trolls that play by the rules and that's all it takes to make people do bad things just by being a product of the environment.

Like she's aware when she gets called out for taking randos as facts on discord and self imposed sat out. That's how I know she's sincere and tries to be a good person, which is probably too wholesome here.

So with that fuck antisemitism JFC era.

I think that's quite generous of you, more likely I feel that the position of toppest poster has been filled and Excel has no allies and has therefore fucked off because the attention dopamine isn't hitting hard enough.

My opinions are coloured by Excel sticking their nose into Labour party business at every opportunity to defend a horde of middle class antisemites despite not knowing the first thing about anyone involved. To my mind it's too much internet zealotry and not sincerity.

yeah. there are a few ppl who i've seen change quite directly. one was constantly dooming in every thread. ppl pointed out that them doing so was actually causing others anxiety, they took it to heart, and chilled out a bit. ppl go through shit, they have periods where they're going to be shitty or short on a forum, that's normal. a moderation team that's actually effective would reach out to those ppl who are clearly going through it, instead of slapping someone with a "you're a bigot" label as they kick them out for a month

it's why nep's continued shittiness is so annoying, right? ppl have pointed out that she's constantly condescending and rude, but for her the fact that she's an admin is proof that she doesn't need to be self-reflective in any way. someone called her out on something a while back and her response was "i was chosen by the community because my posts contribute a lot"

How absurd to blame Stellar Blade for fueling a culture war when it's them who are getting so mad at it's mere existence

Regarding Stellar Blade, I just remembered something:



Same dude, in case that wasn't obvious. He was the art director for Team Bloodlust at the time. But I doubt Era would take umbrage with this video. By the way, Kim Hyung-Tae always hated that loli race, but the higher ups at NCSoft insisted he added something like Tera's Elin, so he did.

And just because we'll never meet Kim Hyung-Tae's unrealistic male beauty standards either, have some KHT chicks to distract us all from this sad reality:



EDIT: Wait a fucking second... So the video with half naked sexy chicks dancing is age restricted, but half naked dudes are fine? I guess I'm not really surprised, but still, WTF Youtube.

And that's Eminem.

Eminem is another white artist who (in his prime) at least, was incredibly popular. Even incredibly popular with Trump supporters.

Eminem is not a Trump supporter. In fact, he has critiqued him, scathingly, on multiple occasions.

And yet, Trump AND the right wing, who all foam at the mouth of Taylor's every movement and link her to leftist conspiracies, never have a word to say about this...

Yes, that's the most frustrating part about the admins, especially Nep. All they had to do is say "I'm human, I fucked up" and make changes, but instead they double down. Not exactly a good trait for moderating, but it's eras problem. I only post in non-political threads sometimes, mostly on discord. Hell I post here as much as era at this point.

Some of the original admins are on the discords and they do not like how things are going on era but they're also letting it go and using the discords.

Resetera's job should be to gish gallop people into not even thinking about not voting for Biden. If any of them have the courage of their convictions they'd turn that ban rifle onto the mental fuckers who are entertaining such silliness as not voting Biden because Islam, or not voting Biden because puberty blockers, or not voting Biden because he won't do anything about Palworld

I'm not the biggest fan of American liberals but I'm also fucking terrified of the consequences of Trump 2.0, given that I have eyes and a brain and all. Really is a dereliction of duty and the most rank hypocrisy imaginable. Absolutely fuck Nepenthe and her cohort.

I don’t this is good to shame people to vote for Biden but RE has pretty shallow and reactionary reasons to dislike the dude. Not mention Nep suddenly saying that No Voting is valid and not an endorsement for Trump.

Quote: I'm coming at this from the sphere of a man dating men primarily so I'm missing some insight but I love coffee dates. Getting coffee and taking a walk or something gives a very relaxed, low-stress environment to get to know someone. All my successful relationships have started that way. A lot of gays I know are into the idea. So the idea that it's a perfectly normal strategy in queer dudes but becomes a suspect strategy with ulterior motives on straight dudes seems ... like shaky logic to me.

Remember when the common refrain when someone admitted to not voting was, "Oh wow, MUST BE NICE to be white and get to be afforded the opportunity to not care.  Unfortunately, we don't get that luxury."   

Hey, guess what's being used as the rationale to not vote now.

Nepenthe https://www.resetera.com/threads/group-in-michigan-urges-protest-vote-in-primary-against-biden-over-israel-gaza-war.815463/page-4 wrote:Regardless, I don't care about the sanctity of America's political systems, nor do I particuarly care about trying to maintain an aura of slow and steady progress on the back of a country built on Indigenous genocide and slavery of my people. So trying to negatively characterize the mere act of not voting for a candidate because of dissatisfaction with them as a "shortcut" doesn't move me. Hell, a shortcut to a dignified existence is frankly the least that the worst off of us deserve.


Almost as if you can justify any single position on earth with this grievance mentality.
