Its absurd how a suit can come and disturb creators working on art and never have to deal with the fallout. We've seen projects tank because of bad executive decisions and they never get any real blame until we learn (years later) that an exec made the call.

We can see this coming to effect with the Game Industry also. Publishers basically tanking games because they force devs into stupid decisions and have the fucking nerve to lay people off for their own mistakes.

Not to defend faceless corpos… but you guys understand that creators can also fuck up big time with free rein? 

Thinking that creatives can’t do wrong is also really naive.

I wish they would just stop.. People's lives are in danger.

What? I'm not talking about trans folx, I'm talking about WWE fans! They should be left alone and allowed to enjoy the product!

That sounded like a Nintex alt  … or someone asked an AI to imitate a Nintex post.

I feel like most of the time I see someone calling themselves an ally to a marginalized group, my first though is to doubt their being genuine and I hate that. That they will claim they will support a group, but the moment that support is needed, they will abandon them or turn against them and show their true colours.

The movement women criticize sexualization and objectification in media or fandom, especially when it comes to popular comics and video games, most of that allyship suddenly goes away and people will go out of their way to defend it at treat us as killjoys or talk down to us. Fuck me the way comic fans go apeshit if you suggest or when artists have attempted to cover up Power Girl's boob hole or fighting game or RPG fans when it's suggested women should be less objectified.

Same with representation in genres, Shonen being a big example of this for me because men will just lie to your face to keep the status quo and will just pretend women don't read shonen manga (despite the statistics that show not only do we do, we represent around 50% of the readership) because they really don't want more women leads, don't want their favourite creators and editors called out on their blatant misogyny and blocking women writers, don't want women treated with more respect, don't want to acknowledge their not the only fans. Same with video games, fantasy etc.

People will claim they support women being independent, having bodily autonomy and able to call out abuse, but the moment an article pops up about low fertility rates in a country or a popular performer is accused of harassing/abuse a woman that all suddenly goes out the window and we're blamed for societies ills, that we should shut up and have babies and if we don't want to we're just bad people who are selfish and cowardly or we're suddenly now not meant to believe potential victims or now Feminism has gone too far etc.

Why do they think these are the same people? 

This last example especially sounds like jumping to any disagreement means you want women to "shut up and have babies and if we don't want to we're just bad people who are selfish and cowardly" when the "ally" might just be disagreeing about the specific situation.

Same with mental health, oh people will say they care and support, but will then happily use us as the scapegoats for mass shooting in the US, use Autism as slur against incels, transphobes, bigots and other horrible people (like thanks, really nice to know you think I'm no better than the scum that want me dead)

This one is completely nuts. You're not being scapegoated (no scapegoating is happening) and no one is saying you're "no better" than anyone else they're explaining reasons something might be.

This nutjob is literally saying that they consider "mental illness" and "autism" to be positive adjectives and when other people are (perhaps accurately) described as having these traits it upsets them because they think it makes them bad like those other people. This is just being a lunatic. And makes me think you are no better than those people.

So are there any consequences for the bullies or nothing yet?

Nothing, I don't expect any to happen when Nex is literally potentially straight up getting blamed for it as a "fight starter". It's all so fucking horrid.

Just fucking course. So the message for those people is continue bullying and discriminating you face no consequences anyway.

Yes, and the true ultimate instigator of it. Chaya, literally is now part of the state government. This part of the ultimate genocidal goal. Being able to literally get away with murdering trans/queer people scott free.

Make false accusations against women and teenage girls, call for police to abuse them and violate their rights, demand serious prison time for non-crimes.

Also, I get dunking on era is the point of this place. Let's not pretend that if Trump wins, he and his people won't do Project 2025. this is not the first time they have brought this up before.

Nah, he is not wrong that they will try. I would just say that they are not as efficient as they think they are, specially since Trump is still a mercurial asshole with no real beliefs outside causal racism and misogyny.

Project 2025 is the Heritage wishlist they publish every time, it has never been carried out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_for_Leadership

Trump's wishlist is called Agenda47 and is what all his people point to: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47

A significant difference is that Project 2025 does not call for establishing martial law nor rounding up political opponents as the Washington Post alleged via anonymous sources. All the fearmongering about it is based on an obvious lie for people who believe everything the media falsely tells them. Meanwhile, actual Trump people have mused about this and Trump has gotten close to saying it. Project 2025 is better than what Trumpworld wants.

You have to take the "conspiracy" an extra few steps to "they're lying about not wanting to do this" two more times to get to this being the "playbook" for a Trump dictatorship rather than the typical Heritage wishlist that we've seen every election since 1981.

That is why ResetERA.com chicken littles (in some cases literally, it's not a fetish btw) should be mocked for this.

If Biden was sending Russia billions of dollars to kill and starve Ukrainians, prevented those killing trans people from facing accountability against the wishes of the world at every opportunity, refused to acknowledge Ukraine even exists, blamed both of those groups for the violence they face, then being told to suck it up because we have to win an election, maybe people might understand what its like for Palestinians suffering from the US backed genocide against their people.

There's a startling lack of empathy in many liberals. Its all about strategy and not doing whats right. The mocking tone of some posters in this thread regarding the uncommitted vote was pretty telling (didnt realize 100k+ uncommitted was insignificant). It ultimately boils down to team sports for them as well. And they're doing a damn great job of winning hearts and minds.

Because the political realities of both conflicts are totally the same. Also, tell me how Hamas is also winning hearts and minds of people outside the Muslim/Leftist bubble? Why do you think the US population wants a ceasefire but also keep supporting Israel? 

You want people to not think this as a team sport? Start by acknowledging that the reality of the situation is far from simple. But that would demolish the self righteous dopamine rush.   

lol at the idea Israel is fighting Hamas.

They are fighting Palestine. The massacre where they murdered 100 people trying to get food wasn't about Hamas.

Anybody calling this a war against Hamas is full of shit. Even Israel them selves said its against palestine.

You want others to understand you when you are refusing to entertain why you shouldnt use Zionist as a slur.

[Boredfrom]

No, that was not the point of their post, and you are continuing to prove their point with these flippant responses.

The accuracy or plausibility of the analogy is not important, what it is trying to convey is, and I think you are more than capable of understanding what they were trying to get across, especially cause they literally spelled it out in the first sentence of the second paragraph. As did I when I made that first response.

Ayyy, fuck you Nola.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Hamas doesn't need to win hearts and minds. They could kill a child in the middle of time square and leftists would still call them brave.

[Boredfrom]

Honestly anyone who thinks it's about Hamas, especially now, might as well start buying Putin's "denazification" bullshit as well.

:rolleyes

Why do you need to belittle the October 7 attacks? You can argue that the IDF are a bunch of incompetent scumbags without dismissing a terror group that controls half of Palestine.

You know it's the same people who were ready to die on a hill that Israel would never bomb a hospital to just disappear from the discussion when it bombed all of them.

Dehumanization of Palestinians is the point.

Agreed with you both.

They are so good at dehumanizing Palestines that they are losing support from longtime allies and even Israelis question their competence. 

Meanwhile, Richter fights the good fight on defending his right to use Zionist as a slur.

You guys cannot play the helpless victim card while also claiming that you are big enough to punish Biden for being in the wrong side of history.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Poor Bruhaha.. they're getting dogpiled by the ban bait brigade trying to make them slip up for an easy report. It's happening in real time.

[Boredfrom]

There needs no analogy and can be no analogy. It's a hundred year war on the Palestinian people by the European colonial powers during a time of decolonization. It's unique in the amount of pain and injustice inflicted upon the Palestinian people. You shouldn't need an analogy to understand that.

 

Can you ever truly be "progressive" if your political ideology revolves around stanning free market capitalism?

Not really tbh.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

It is not identical but it is similar.

Ukraine is being occupied is it not? Because of Russia feeling threatened and sole old historical "right" to rule over it according to Putin. And civilians are being massacred.

And yet, Biden thinks one is bad and the other not. That's the similarities. Hamas does what it does and yet Palestine is the enemy according to Israel. Just like Russia tried to use Azov and nazi militias as excuse to invade and occupy Ukraine.

Okay. What is Israel supposed to do then? Just drop their arms and play defense the whole time while Hamas continues to attack?   I'm confused. Is the end goal that Israel should pack it up and leave and that's that for people?

[Boredfrom]

Richter is such a fucking scumbag. Chief Malik seems more sincere in his anti semitism than Richter “calling someone Zionist is not anti semitic”. 

In that regard, it feels that every big community that still stays at RE at this point are formed by the worst assholes. (Is like mods playing favorites has to do with the worst elements taking advantage of it.  ).

Is just missing a big ass terror attack and taking a lot of hostages that made people willing to side with Israel. Something that you guys always dismiss and refuse to acknowledge.

Jesus, B-Dubs, nice forum.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

"Hamas does what it does"

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I think as the past decade have shown that wether Hamas did or didn't do this matters little as we have seen Gaza and the west bank ethnic cleansed and the excuse was Israel's right of rule over Palestine and a long list of other excuses.

The point is it's all excuses to ethnic cleanse and genocide.

But you are right, we will not agree and I got work soon so I will drop this.

Dismissing terrorism?

ny chance we can go to a gacha based GaaS model for all games moving forward. They are profitable and have amazing stories and worlds (Warframe, Genshin Impact, Star Rail, Arknights). All we lose out on is monetizing characters in game to unlock. But people can grind and still get them.

Trans "genocide" getting overshadowed. Need a new JK tweet where she says a male rapist shouldn't be in a women's prison to spice things up.

[Boredfrom]

Warframe isn’t gacha. You can outright buy the character than pay for the opportunity to unlock it.

277 pages crying about Israel and only 2 for the trans genocide. Even the Rowling thread is struggling at 99.

Who created Palestine out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire? Then who established it via the UN after World War II? Who's backed its existence when Israel could have conquered the whole shebang over fifty years ago?
