Have to mention how hideous the LGBT 'flags' are. Atrocious color palette, just awful to look at.

Were the Concord devs behind it?

unironically, 99% of them were made 2010-2014 on tumblr and deviantart by random nobodies

Isn't the trans flag just combining blue and pink because blue is for boys and pink is for girls? It's all pretty dumb

any idea who the guy on the far left is? He looks pretty unhappy

People are so naive about Red Note lol
I wonder if this "hype" is driven by bots or actually natural. But even if its natural. This App is as Chinese as it gets.

what's the problem?

I think the potential problem from an American perspective is that you're beholden to them culturally. Like a Trans tiktoker I follow was banned after making a vid on the platform that talked about being trans and sharing the type of trans content they make

Ugh...we just will have not one single even close to safe space.

24 hours in, and the chinese dream is already dead

Resetera is a settler-colonial video game forum that does not have a right to exist.

When I search for something on TikTok, I only get results for that thing.

When I search for stuff on YouTube, it's a few potentially relevant results, followed by shit you might be interested in, followed by Shorts, followed by the resuming of results that are even less relevant, followed by old videos you watched.

TikTok is the confident chad that knows I just want specific content. YouTube is the desperate beta begging me to click anything and everything.

The evolution of Nepenthe to a full on right-winger is inevitable, bet on it.

I have always worried that this could lead to anonymous/hard to track sex crimes. Like if you think your SO is playing with you, but what if they are handing this over to others to control, people who you have absolutely no desire to "connect" with?

It's not very funny.

What? Era prefers "anonymous/hard to track sex crimes" types of people giving them their orgasms.

Go look to the Israel/Hamas/Trump thread.

Hamas Era going full right wing.

[Boredfrom]

People in this thread are extremely gullible. This just shows that a ceasefire could have been done momths ago and Trump likely wanted it extended for his own benefit.

Stop treating dems like babies lmao

if Trump was able to do all of that while Biden was in power, what the fuck is the point of Dems then?

I always like when a gullible retard thinks he is not a gullible.

Hint: Who in Israel was sucking Trump dick and was willing to extend a war to keep himself in power? 

Hope ERA never again bitchs about how PoC going rightwing is a myth. We have a whole of minorities at ERA licking Trump’s taint.

[Boredfrom]

Everyone in Gaza absolutely hates isreal for the genocide and long before that isreal has been occupying the land, enforcing dehumanizing unilateral laws against Gazans, taking land and property by force, controlling Gaza resources like electricity and food and so on. Even if the genocide stops tomorrow what are people going back to? No infrastructure, no food, no aid, still held under violent occupation.

If all Hamas decided they want out and left what type of people will take over? Kids and young people who watched their family blown to bits by the country next door. The next theoretical party will be made up of people who also hate isreal, maybe even more than hamas did so more attacks will be inevitable. You end you with hamas by another name.

Hamas is a symptom of isreal actions. Isreal is the root of problems. Isreal needs to Stop the apartied and leave Gaza. And that's only one step in the process, there's still things like land borders, self governance, recognition on the world stage all of which i

So terrorism is inevitable and diplomacy is useless until the Jews go fuck themselves.

Gotcha.

Always with the same typo... what happened to the dogwhistle detectors on Era?
 

[Boredfrom]

It would be hilarious and sad if suddenly right wingers start to cater to Muslims “a hyper conservative abrahamic community that just happens to be associated with brown skin colors?  ”.

Nepenthe, Krazen and others at ERA understand that race is used as an excuse to scapegoat other social and economic problems… but to dumb to realize that makes identity politics just another cynical tool for power that they are not immune to it.

I'm a new englander living in NC currently. I get called a yankee or yank a lot. It might be used as an insult, but it doesn't insult me. I hate being called "chief" or "captain" more. I see myself more as an admiral or a general

Do yanks actually use yank as short for yankee?

User banned (1 week): antagonizing multiple posters

Elena is not getting a stage. Capcom is not giving a stage away for free and they're not going to release a stage for sale alongside Elena after Tekken 8 did the same thing for Heihachi's stage and had to give everybody $5 as an apology.

Mai already has one. It's in the trailer.

It is definitive, actually. If you've played enough World Tour and watched enough of these trailers, you would know that is a playable stage in this trailer. And you would know there are only two playable stages included in Year 2. And you would know that one of them is already out. Meaning this is the second and last one.

Mai gets a stage. Elena does not.

I knew this seemed familiar. Is this a bit? lol

So you don't know, thanks

Mai will get one , Elena May get one is the most Logical conclusion.

the most logical conclusion takes in the evidence we have. two stages are included in the Ultimate Pass. we have one already, and the second one is in this trailer.

that means Elena's theoretical stage is definitely not in the Ultimate Pass, so they would have to either give it away for free (think about SF6 monetization for a second to realize how unlikely that is), or commit the mistake that Tekken just made and try to sell it alongside Elena. a slap in the face to their biggest spenders.

the most logical conclusion is Mai gets one and Elena does not. not every character gets a stage. last season AKI (more accurately, she inherited a launch stage), Ed, and Akuma got stages. Rashid did not.

I was trying to charitable for that posters sake.

When I Say "May" I mean in a 1% chance is still more Than 0% Type of way.

"I May become a Billionaire one day" is factual yet will not happen


Trust me I still think it's Very unlikely Elena gets a Stage just Technically not Impossible 😭 😞

Elena is just going to be visiting Nayshal just like Rashid, would have loved for her to have a stage too but we're getting the most out of generic third world country I guess.

unfortunate facts. in the Year 2 reveal trailer you see Elena caring for some hippos. cut to the M. Bison World Tour missions and you encounter some smuggled hippos in Nayshall while looking for Bison's horse.

the signs have been there all along.

Gotta love it, how about now? Especially JustDolt, ready to own your mistakes?

I know how stupid it is to say this in this thread of all places, but man, my suicidal thoughts are just getting louder and louder every fucking time this prick's name appears somewhere.

We really let Nazis back in power. Everything is so hopeless, and there's nowhere we can go to escape them or their influence. I can't fucking take this shit.

True story. My grandfather was one of the liberators of the Dachau concentration camp. He arrived the day after they discovered it. 

Can you imagine if he were alive, and I tried to compare Elon buying TikTok to what he saw and the Jewish people endured?

That's why the Reseteras owners, admins, mods and Prominent Members can eat my grandpa's whole ass. 

Elon could possibly own TikTok = The Holocaust

No wonder they think they are women over there. Anne Frank was a teenage girl and she's more of a man than these people will ever dream to be. 

I feel bad for any Jewish person that has to see something like that. I'm not even Jewish and I would be hard-pressed to keep myself from slapping somebody if they said that TikTok shit to my face. It's one of those instances that I think I would just take the battery charge and slap them anyways. It'd be my first offense so I could probably get deferment and get it off my record after a year.

User Banned (Permanently): Troll Account

Sorry, but wtf is this post?

Milkshake duckery? As of now there's a single twitter post mentioning GRRM going on a "hoe cruise" with Gaiman on cons. That's not even an allegation. Lots of authors sleep around on cons and GRRM as an original 60s hippie is probably one of them, but as long as everything's consensual that's really nobody's business.

That isn't even in the same universe as the allegations against Gaiman

That's true, you make a good point in that it is the lack of consent that is the problem with Gaiman. The both of them strike me as unattractive, deeply odd men who would otherwise not have access to these women if not for who they were. The thought of GRRM heavily breathing in and out of his mouth, sweat pouring off of his neck and brow like a prime Patrick Ewing, thrusting his little proud point into someone while demanding that they call him "kingslayer" is gross to me, but on the other hand, reading the Gaiman allegations was not something I was even able to complete, because it was so nauseating. It was one person getting everything they wanted in a dehumanizing power fantasy, and the other person receiving actional sexual abuse. So yeah, those would be two examples of famous fiction writers exploiting their celebrity and influence to have some kind of sex, there is a commonality there, but in Gaiman's case we know what that looks like, we don't have to speculate about it, and it's....fucking harrowing.

no disrespect to you, but I've read a lot of weird theories about why GRRM can't finish ASOIAF, and "he only wrote books to have sex with young women and stopped because he was famous enough" may be the stupidest I've heard so far

I don't feel disrespected, just that you may have missed the point of what I was saying earlier, or are doing the "respond to super reductive version of a post" thing. It's fine, I won't press it further. I forgot about the sheer scholarship on the matter that was already out there, and I don't want to make fantasy fiction fans think they've lost two writers today, when it's really just the one. I've already earned infractions on this site for (check this out) "making fun of Donald Trump's appearance" and (not even joking here) "making fun of homophobes." I don't want to invite further action by making a Mountain out of a heresay mole hill that GRRM was on the same sex boat as Neil Gaiman says one person without unsubstantiation--> "therefore they obviously treat women the same way," because that's just too flimsy of a case to make here or anywhere. Plus, I wasn't the person who brought it up even, just reacted to it, and out came the GRRM defense force. So, you're right, dude. The way men who achieve wealth and fame often act as a result of those things can be disgusting, writ large, sure, but as far as we know, one and only one of the people we've been talking about has had these allegations against them, and that's Neil Gaiman. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, they absolutely do not care and just want to sexualize the fuck out of the women.

This take always confused me, shouldn't this be directed at the MCU for using a white as snow actress for Wanda in the MCU? The skin in-game is just a recreation of that.

[Snoopy]

From the desk of Neil Gaiman esq.

At the same time, as I reflect on my past – and as I re-review everything that actually happened as opposed to what is being alleged – I don't accept there was any abuse. To repeat, I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone.

Some of the horrible stories now being told simply never happened, while others have been so distorted from what actually took place that they bear no relationship to reality. I am prepared to take responsibility for any missteps I made. I’m not willing to turn my back on the truth, and I can't accept being described as someone I am not, and cannot and will not admit to doing things I didn't do.
