That disagreement equals "dismissing concerns" is the biggest crock of shit that Resetera is built upon

I’ve said it before but that rule is the single biggest reason why that place is like it is. It makes it impossible to wind back the insane rhetoric because the ratchet only goes one way.

Heyyyyyy, happy day everyone! Now where's our trans jellybeans? Also gives today's "egg hunts" a bit of a different meaning >.>

I feel like you guys are really dismissing their concerns.

Yikes, are you seriously dismissing my concerns? This puts staff in danger.

I don’t feel safe with my concerns being dismissed like this. Summit now!

Really wish y'all would stop dismissing concerns.

I downloaded the Stellar Blade demo today to see what it was that lot of weirdos were frothing about and, aside from that escape pod bit in the intro, there's fuck all the amount of booba they seem to thing their is 

So far it's tamer than Bayonetta ffs.

uprooting the ants from their homes? How very Israel of them.

Happy trans day to everyone on the other side of the date line. We had our trans day yesterday and watched monk and played princess peach to celebrate (to be fair I watch Monk most days and Bridie does the same with Princess Peach so it wasn't specific). Hope the next 12 months aren't shit

[DocWager]

Princess Peach is what Birdie played before he strangled the life out of her.

A ton are just using her and the game as a culture war pawn. The ones that legitimately getting off from her are porn addicts, and love that she is a blank slate so it feels as if they "own her".

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Better to be like Clicky. Fetishize infantile looking characters from a childrens game instead of one meant for adults. You see, these two are totally lesbians! Just like me!

[Daffy Duck]

I too downloaded the demo to see it for myself, thought it was pants, really not my thing, but I’m glad it annoys the not-chads of Era

“Why are we talking and not listening?” he asked. “We’ve lost trust in the media and politicians. And some in the media are wonderful and some politicians are wonderful—on both sides of the divide. I have a political position and I have good friends on the other side of that political divide. Honestly, I’m not trying to be cute: What’s so hard about that? Why are we shutting [conversation] down? Left and right are ideological arguments about how to run a state. That’s all they are. They are not a right or wrong, or good and bad. It’s which do you think has greater efficacy? That’s it. You try one, and if that doesn’t work out, you vote it out, and you try again a different way. That’s a process. But we’ve made it into ‘good and bad.’ We made it into a moral issue, and it’s fucking idiotic, and incredibly dangerous … I personally [blame] some of this on social media. There is a an interaction that exists human-to-human that floats away when it reaches a public forum.”

I think folks are taking what he's saying wrong, as he's not wrong. The point is that it's no longer simply politics and disagreements on policy, it's all become us vs them, good vs bad. Politics has become more enflamed than ever and been taken over by extremes. Things are worse than ever, it's no longer a simple disagreement of government policy, there is literal lines in the sand being drawn, people being torn apart.

My problem with his centrist view on politics is it basically completely ignores shit like one side trying to make trans people just not exist, if that isn't a one side is bad scenario then idk what is. He doesn't seem to have a grasp on what's at stake rights wise when it comes to current politics. Like saying trans people should exist shouldn't been a political extreme but people are turning it into just that now.

Is the whole of the right really trying to eradicate all trans individuals or is it only the fringe? 

Pretty sure the consensus is to just remove puberty blockers from children.

As the events in Palestine unfold, pushing the self-declared "trans genocide" is becoming increasingly offensive.

All I can say is W O W to this game. This might be the best PS5 exclusive since...forever? (Well, at least since FFVII Rebirth, Demon's Souls Remake and GT7)

• The music is fantastic, and gives me Nier and GITS vibes
  
• The overall "vibe" of the game is great
  
• Visually, the game has a certain soul which this generation has widely lacked. Characters are designed around being visually aesthetic and appealing, and the world feels extremely immersive, as well as charming.
  
• There was clearly a lot of love and care put into Adam and Eve's designs, and I've missed fantastical character designs like this
  
• Eve has this certain realism and sensitivity to her, and I love it. Her screams while fighting feel realistic, and not particularly "heroic" and I really appreciate it.
  
• The animations are extremely well done, and clearly have a lot of love put into them (the vending machine animation is a great example)
  
• Camps are comfy and also have this "soul"
  
• Combat is fun, and personally, my input time was fine (then again, my TV is optimised for PS5)
  

I've had a PS5 since launch, and this is the first exclusive to actually amaze me. I think Sony should take notes from this game, because this team has done extremely well.

I don't know whose side to take because, god, that post is so fucking dumb

[kaleidoscopium]

Yeah I'm thinking it will likely land in the upper 60's roughly.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

How would Clicky know unless they've played the demo? I'd like to think anyone with conviction would not touch the demo if it goes against their beliefs.

The entire reason for the existence of the Women's Fashion thread lies in the history of the message board and the inability of these "women" to refrain from shitting up every OT and preview thread. It was created as and is intended to be a quarantine thread. But as the dominos fall, it looks like this "community" is the next to either blow up and flame out or run a bunch of people off, im betting on the second.

B-Dubs, you already learned your fucking lesson but you're letting the same shit boil up that had to be put down when that site was a much nicer place.

[kaleidoscopium]

There is a 2021 post from Morrigan warning about cross thread sniping 😂

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-women-criticise-sexualised-character-designs-ot3-make-her-look-more-corpulent-more-stuffed-where-the-eyes-cant-escape.275780/page-120?post=60495652#post-60495652

Hey y'all,

I get that many see this thread as a safe space, and sometimes we want to vent and whatnot.

But this cross-thread sniping has to stop. It's one thing to complain about trolls or dismissive behaviour (though we'd prefer if you reported them instead of retreating in another thread to complain, honestly), but snide commentary at people who just want to talk about games you don't like is really not cool. Please don't do this.

Thanks.

Should take your own advice there Morrigan

Would be an automatic ban if someone were to quote that in current year.

I fucking hate their obsession with the word "folks". There's something so sanctimonious about their insistence on using that word over "people".
