When ResetERA says "Shutup, chuds, and listen to [insert minority/disadvantaged/marginalized group here]," what they really mean is " Only listen to [insert minority/disadvantaged/marginalized group here] that already agrees with me." That community has always operated that way as far back as their NeoGAF days. 

It's one of the main reasons why ERA's such an echo chamber. Only one perspective is allowed. Even when you follow their "rules" like "Listen to marginalized groups," it's only valid if said group already agrees with them.

“You need to listen to women and shut up”

“I am a lady and love sexy designs”

“You need to understand your views are not universal plus internalized misogyny “

“I talked to my wife and she doesn’t mind sexy designs”

“Why doesn’t she say so herself? Why do you speak over women? Ban”

“This popular female youtuber/cosplayer/influencer is seen enjoying sexy designs”

“The exception and not the norm. Most women hate them”

“One of you said they also liked this design in another thread”

“It was appreciation from a queer bipoc pov, which is different from the gross heteronormative thirst gaze”


Only when the council of balding fat transbians (all of whom still have dicks) tells you their consensus you can truly claim you’ve listened to women.

“You need to listen to women and shut up”

Strange how this didn't work for ketkat, who got banned in favor of the super male feminist Weltall Zero.

Transphobes!   

“You need to understand your views are not universal plus internalized misogyny “

God the "internalized misogyny" fake argument is such omega level bullshit.

A woman, not sperging out and having an emotional meltdown over a female having boobs and showing a bit of skin? Clearly it's only because she's internalized the hatred of women.

“I talked to my wife and she doesn’t mind sexy designs”

Everyone who I have ever seen uttered this phrase had gotten a ban. Always.

“This popular female youtuber/cosplayer/influencer is seen enjoying sexy designs”

I literally seen someone's post get completely vaporized for posting a link to a sexy cosplayer/influencer that enjoys "problematic characters".

Time for my annual platitudes wishing you all an enjoyable and relaxing extended weekend celebrating the holiday intended to honor laborers in the workforce and their ability and right to unionize, yet in a typically American twist of irony, we are the ones who benefit least from this holiday.

The bar you were drinking at last night? That's us. The food being made at the restaurant you like and the person delivering it to your doorstep? That's us. The hotel you're staying at for the long weekend? Every aspect of it is maintained by us. When you shop, when you need a haircut, go to the movies, uhh basically any and every capitalistic act you perform, that's us. We're keeping things going 24/7 and we get essentially nothing in return. Low pay, excessive hours, poor - if any! - benefits, working on holidays, demeaning treatment, harassment or even violence. Please remember that's us making sure you can enjoy your life.

Okay bye.

This comment during the Stellar Blade meltdown is my favorite. Just completely showing their hand and what they really mean

I do care what women think... but ultimately the women I am closest to.

So you don't care about what women think. You care about what people you know think. If you cared about what women thought then you'd be listening to the women in this thread.

Maybe he did shit, maybe he didn't but the framing is of course instantly pretty biased. Like him just telling his side of the story is labeled as "he's bugging out on discord!"

bitch you get what you deserve

"I work all this time all day every day and I ONLY get the money I need to pay for my house and car and food and video games and model robots" 

this is how the world works, provide labor, get money, we are not post-scarcity, you don't get to do nothing and thrive for it

of course some people are being taken advantage of, if you think it's not enough, look for another job

The US is less than 2% of the world, do Sony really think the other 98% are going to care about this MLB crap? American sports are the absolute worst and the world does not care about them in real life or video game form.

Marty said bungie made better games as a 'boys club'.

When someone is that delusional at this point, and is allowed to be that way in a forum, then he’s best to be away from this mortal coil, or better yet take whatever you have, and travel the world before you croak. Or he’s a Melody. Somehow he survives another 3 years, and we’re like “Weren’t you about to die?”.

[Nintex]

How the times have changed, I remember the Atari people always spoke fondly of the office parties and hot tubs from the Bushnell era in the documentaries even the women.
It was basically like the Wolf of Wall Street without any innocent victims (except for WB and parents that bought E.T. maybe?). They knew the gravy train wouldn't last forever so they partied hard. 

For Bungie the stories of the 'college dorm' days were also very positive. In fact, prior to launch the original Xbox staff 'fled' there to avoid the corporate machine and be able to sleep in the office. Development mostly consisted of playing HALO until it was good and trying to figure out the development tools and hardware as they were making the campaign. 

Gaming has really moved on from free thinking libertarians to marxist puritans and now you even get retroactively cancelled.

Part of these stories is resentment from the current Bungie/Halo folks I guess. How could these guys with 0 experience and a broken engine tape together one of the best games of all time  while a team of 500 AAAA+ developers with proven skills can't make something nearly as compelling with infinite resources. It must drive them up the wall, especially the people that remained and moved up the ranks of the corporate ladder trying to replicate the success and failing over and over again.

EDIT: I am absolutely loving the salty replies. Basically “okay…sure, but you don’t have to be so mean about it!!!”

Same, but the shit where you have to work every holiday (Christmas, NYE, etc.) was the fuel that got me to get OUT of it, not complain on the internet (the internet was new then, though). Couldn't fucking wait and it was amazing when I finally got out (multiple times, since I bounced back into a lucrative customer-facing career for a while).
