That poster that called you out as a mod was being stupid. Slayven starts ridiculous threads every day and doesn't get shit for it. You're fine. Jones however seems to be having a bad one.

Slayven makes stupid threads about comics, not stupid threads about a red-pilled advice columnist on a male dominated forum where dudes will take every chance they get to bash them and call any woman who expects to be wined and dined disgusting.

 

I mean, this is demonstrably untrue if you just look at...any weekend. But go off.

Protected users get a pass, we know. 

Why the fuck RE needs another thread about “Piccolo is better dad than Goku”.

She's got fantastic takes on white supremacy and sociopolitical takes and is actually worth a follow; she's pretty well regarded and is an accomplished writer. She knows her shit.

Maybe her takes are not as good as you think, and when is being well regarded a deterrent to shit on someone at RE? 

But as someone said before, kinda terminally online so I can see how like many other terminally online people they see the world through that lens. Manosphere rule #1 is women are all golddiggers so I can get how arguing with those dudes all day (as you will get as a popular black woman feminist thinker) leads you to not touch grass and think coffee dates is a gender warz moment. Terrible take but she's usually great in the space and this is pretty out of pocket for her.

 

She had a terrible take because she is too busy fighting gender wars online.

If anything a take like that shows how corrosive it is and how 'boys will be boys' kinda damned us when the behavior should be checked early, hard and always. Like gamergate, etc not surprising its morphing into weird ways.

 

How the fuck you guys keep bitching about Gamergate even when you ‘won’.

A lot of people salty about Palworld.

I think it's disappointing that a company with pretty crappy work ethics are getting a lot of fame and popularity. Par for the course for the industry, I guess. People still eating up Blizzard's crap, and Stellar Blade is feeding a dumb culture war that misses oversexed ladies in games... One could go on.

Comparing Activision Blizzard with Palworld and Stellar Blade…

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

NO THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN AND KEEP DISMISSING MY CONCERNS

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.

Oof, wanting staff to put themselves at risk.

Hell, a shortcut to a dignified existence is frankly the least that the worst off of us deserve.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-you-have-unacceptable-first-date-options.778289/

And in that case the OP didn't glorify the guy who made the post and instead mentioned to not take it too seriously. Meanwhile Royalan doesn't actually say that he disagrees with her take, instead he says that it's a new "interesting angle" and shit and then keeps recommending people to follow this female Andrew Tate.

Idk if peeps living there feel it but lord your country has such a brand in these moments. Literally something in the air, there's something about everything that's just… an intangible sense of 'America'. Hard to describe.

This is your annual compliment.

America is brands all the way down. You definitely become kinda numb to it.

It's honestly infectious from an external perspective, prior to you know the realities of why it isn't a fairyland.

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.

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"

No, I didn't look at the replies to see if anyone asked how it's the capitalist ghouls (ZASLAV ) fault that the state requires them to delete it.

From what I gather there was turnover just before 2020 and then the next group went bonkers with Tara Reade and it's been fucked since. So their greatest crime was not vetting replacements for their volunteer job.

Basically the Simpsons but without comedy or money.

Well, it's a good thing this is just a protest vote in the primaries and they'll all come to their senses in the general and do the right thing.

I liked the part where they purged SocialistERA just for Nepenthe and others to be more absurd because of greater ignorance.

This post is inspired by a Black Feminist and thinker I follow, Feminista Jones.

I mean, I know you are gay so you don’t have stakes in the hetero dating scene, but is kind of telling how disconnected you seem to be with popular opinions.

a thinker? Yo, I love thinkers yo.

Looked up her photos.

She ain't a thinker. I think he just misspelled thiccer...

[Potato]

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.

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.

I am 100% certain that nepnep is convinced that Trump 2.0 is going to lead to the literal downfall of democracy in the US and that is step 1 in her path to the carrot revolution.

In Fattyalan's world of hooking up with rent boys in the theatre while eating several hood burgers, that's about as deep as thinking gets...

You are such a fucking hypocrite.

Even better, it's a lesbian on social media having a questionable opinion about straight dating and a gay man saying it's an interesting take.

It's fine. Can disagree with Feminista Jones on this. Her replies of having the men pay as reparations and that dinner dates is what she's advising just seems excessive. Like you end up in the same ballpark as conservatives.

Her dating advice before has been more reasonable.

*This article focuses on dating between women and cismen and is not meant to be exclusionary of others. Considering, though, that most online dating interactions are between women and cismen, and cismen continue to be the biggest threat to the health and safety of all women, I decided to focus this guide on those who are actually still afflicted with the desire to date them.

May want to get hetro dating advice from someone else.

Like, yeah it's kinda racist, but this also doesn't actually inform the discussion in any way. Nothing really changes as a result of this revelation--it doesn't put a new spin on what's in the OP or expose some innate hypocrisy or show us that the source isn't worth trusting at all. Yes, these tweets are really shitty but what is the purpose of bringing them up here? We already know she has super toxic takes on dating, it's right there in the OP for everyone to see and nobody is defending her at all. It's just dunking for the sake of dunking, it doesn't really add anything you know? It doesn't continue the discussion in any way.
