Somehow he maintains a lot of respect from powerful voices who could easily get him cancelled but instead keep him bulletproof. Its insane to me that the "backlash" from his specials have zero consequences each time and the "controversy articles" feel more like marketing fluff just to promote him.

So its like a child who goes unpunished, they start to believe "Hmm I can say and do whatever I want" with the behavior only getting worse and seeing just how far they can get before a slap on the wrist at worst. As Dave Chappelle has never struck me as an intelligent or mature person, I believe that is the level he operates on and gets the same amusement and fulfillment an early teen does from acting this way. Except he receives millions of dollars and standing ovations for it. How could a monster not be created from this?

as for the 'backlash', like he said in the last special: TWITTER IS NOT A REAL PLACE

Given how TransERA acts, the bolded definitely rings true for them.

damn prob one of the few good things they came up with. Money really does rule the world, everything else be damn

Why they are so fucking dumb?

[ComeAgain]

This is a serious rookie mistake when it comes to dealing with bigots. No, you do not have to be actively engaged in genocide to be a Nazi. The literal Nazis were around for YEARS before they actually started their campaigns of murder and genocide, with their early years being largely limited to spouting the same kind of bigoted rhetoric we hear from today's alt-right. They didn't murder anybody then, but only because they didn't have the political power and military force they needed to do so and get away with it. But they were still Nazis, and those were their plans from the beginning. The modern alt-right is no different, and if you refuse to believe someone is a Nazi just because they aren't acting specifically like the late-stage, warmongering, height-of-their-power Nazis, that's exactly what helps them eventually get to that stage.

So once he gets the political power and military force, the guy who went somewhere else to talk about video games and shit is going to rise up and throw innocent people in concentration camps, torture them, starve them and numerous other horrific things and commit genocide now. 

All that rambling is what you are comparing people who discuss VIDEO GAMES to.

Just Ree showing their ass again

Oof

YIKES

Pulling their mask off huh.

Also this beauty -

essentially he thinks they're all white and they haven't suffered enough so why should they be allowed to jump the line? He's pathetic.

Hmmm, that sounds familiar.

But cancel culture doesn’t exist. How can one be “cancelled” if thats true?

[Boredfrom]

Pretty much how I read it. I'm guessing Tencent and Netease are worth enough money that they hold that kind of political influence. Because, afaik, they're both amongst the top earners in the entire industry, worldwide.

I think you misunderstood who controls those companies at the end of the day.

I guess some officials have stock in the videogame industry and no one likes losing money.

Have the CCP looked into a take a loot box, leave a lootbox system for indigenous anarchism systems?

[benji]

in all cases, even if no one appreciates you in your time, there's that jester element of speaking truth to power like norm did often when he got himself in trouble 

Netflix should be known as the anti-LGBT/pro-hate service. Chapelle, Rogan, Burr, Norm Macdonald, they have platformed all these people multiple times. And they want to talk about how diverse their shows are, smh

What did Norm do?

This is a decent article to start with: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-complicated-legacy-of-norm-macdonald

Well that's disappointing.

I'm a little surprised people are surprised about Norm Macdonald. I basically only really became aware of him when he died and I was curious as to what all the fuss was about, and while I did find him funny he was pretty shameless about punching down too.

Like by coincidence I was listening to this yesterday:


Even if there weren't accusations against him, he'd still be a guy who constantly drops gay jokes where the punchline is "this guy is gay". You look the comments or subject lines of videos of Macdonald's humour and it's chock full of people ragging about how this would get you cancelled today and how political correctness is killing comedy.

I saw this headline and my only thought was Nepenthe.

https://aeon.co/essays/the-idea-of-precolonial-africa-is-vacuous-and-wrong

Nothing else and no one else but her.  She's the only person I know that envisions some noble savage utopia in the world before The Whites were created.  If this professor goes out of the way to refute such a thing maybe it's a wider belief than I knew.

[HaughtyFrank]

They're actually mad that Chapelle made a joke about how it must be Lil Nas's dream to be the gayest N-word alive. Somehow that's an offensive thing to say about the guy who made a video about how he pole dances in hell and fucks Satan

The Nazis were always clear about their goal for a totalitarian state that did ethnic cleansing and they participated in paramilitary violence and other criminality from the beginning. Hitler's famous stand-up special Mein Kampf came from when he was in prison for trying to violently seize control of a German state. Their rhetoric absolutely did not start out as making uncouth jokes about women and talking about media ala Colin Moriarty, it was Nepenthe-like militant calls for violence and ethnic hatred from the start.

The type of rhetoric of the above post in which everything is part of an existential struggle over everything that all are required to take sides in was exactly what the Nazis wanted, to bring the Republic to a crisis point in which they would be looked to as the solution. The rhetoric constantly spread all over ResetERA.com eagerly wanting people being put against walls, people arming up to overthrow governments, race wars, civil wars, random chaos, excusing mass violence as either against the right targets or because they have insurance, endless genocides, an all-encompassing totalitarian view of reality and unceasing paranoid US AGAINST THEM framing of all topics is the real "serious rookie mistake" from ignorant legit fascists who think they're the good guys because they label any opposition as fascists to justify not treating them as human.

Trans genocide thread has been unpinned.

[benji]

I think they have this belief that Hitler snuck into power by downplaying his goals or something. "I love democracy, I just want to talk to the Jews and Slavs about maybe moving." Hitler was never as popular in the rest of the West as Mussolini and the Soviets because he didn't hide what he wanted and it was very crude even for a much more racist time than now. The rhetoric was always this ugly expansionary German-specific style, there wasn't the grand illusion that he was "building the progressive future" like all the intellectuals thought about the Soviets and Italy. Plus most countries still hated Germany for the first World War, they weren't exactly inclined to think "oh yeah, this guy is great for all of us" when he's talking about building a military superpower, avenging the defeat and establishing a great big Reich where other countries sat.

The staff know exactly what they're doing. In an election year. With Joanne still unbanned on Twitter.

Thank god, it's over. They're all safe.

[kaleidoscopium]

The genocide was defeated!!!

[Shecky Fragbaum]

For me, it was just Tuesday

[malfoyking]

Let's all give praise that the genocide is over.

[HaughtyFrank]

Gaming side also unpinned the slave labor thread. Thank you Resetera for ending a genocide and slavery

[JoeBoy101]

As much as I like to be an optimist, I’m guessing there’s some auto-pinning/policy that someone has to go update.

For the trans genocide thread obviously. The gaming slave labor thread can go fuck itself for all that board cares about it.

[benji]

The staff aren't slick, they're trying to cover up the result of their endless transphobia just like the media and government on TERF Island refused to say what caused that stabbing.

[benji]

FUCK

I'M SO TIRED

Emotionally stunted, and retarded, grown men post about 'anxiety' because they have to return work:

PlanetSmasher, like usual, tries to fit in:

I wasn't feeling it until I read the title of this thread and now I am. Fucking hell I hate waking up in the work week

Bitch, you post 50 times a day on Era. You can't even stick RAM properly in a computer.

Stop pretending you have a job.

Hogwarts legacy won best steam deck game, and they are upset lol 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-2023-steam-awards-winners.801279/

That fourth award - gross. Are you down with editing the post to remove it? People can still see it within the link, but the cheerful little blurb that goes with it in the post makes me nauseous.

Sure, editing shortly. Though to be honest it doesn't hurt to know that unfortunately this is what the wider industry thinks of the game as well. Which is nauseating.

EDIT: I think someone else (an admin I guess) got to it first

Turns out it was Jawmuncher

Yeah, a lot of these awards feel like Steam users decided to troll

Using your position as a mod to attack another game publisher when you work at another publisher seems scummy

Good to know that if I ever get too uppity some right-wing clown will comb through my dissertation to try and find a murky missing citation out of the hundreds in my work to discredit everything I contributed to the field.

Plagiarism is a big deal just to brush it off, specially in her position and her school.

If Trans-ERA has even the slightest shame or bit of self-respect, they will write into Steam Support and demand their Steam accounts are closed for this blatant promotion of transphobia, like they closed their GOG accounts when Cyberpunk 2077 was released.

Hogwarts is a great game but best on deck??? Nah it runs like shit

 

[HaughtyFrank]

Claudine Gay also hasn't published hundreds of works. Apparently she actually published relatively little for someone in that position.

[kaleidoscopium]

Not talking about it here doesn't remove the fact that it's one of the biggest and most beloved games of the year for most people outside these circles.

It has a 92% rating on Steam, and that's being an iffy PC port.

Hogwarts is a great game but best on deck??? Nah it runs like shit

What do you mean? Wizard game is in the Platinum category for most played games on Steam Deck in 2023.

It was also always in the monthly most popular Steam Deck ranks throughout the year.
