Look forward to Harris offering an even more full throated non-answer about the genocide while triangulating even more to the right to hawkishly peacock about Israel's right to burn children in hospitals using US bombs and starve upwards of 800,000 people.

Of course Zeo made a thread

https://www.resetera.com/threads/asmongold-goes-full-nazi-rhetoric-during-anti-palestine-rant-they-are-not-the-same-as-us-they-come-from-an-inferior-culture.1009563/

Ban both Asmon and Hasan and I'm cool with it

I'm hoping this thread can remain civil and not dismissed as standard Twitter/streamer drama. This is one of the biggest content creators in the entire gaming industry using his platform to spread pro-genocide Nazi rhetoric to thousands (if not millions, when all is said and done) of very young viewers.

And this isn't being done on Kick. It's on Twitch. Using their platform to repeat literal Nazi rhetoric should be the final straw that results in a permanent ban but it remains to be seen if there will be any sort of punishment at all.

Well, I mean, it's not literal Nazi rhetoric.

This is part of the reason I'm not at the point (yet) where I'm criticizing Twitch for non-action. If nothing has happened by tomorrow, that will change.

it hurts when you post and then there is another post after yours with a benji like on it because you know it means he rolled his eyes in annoyance rather than smirked

[benji]

FACT CHECK: I don't roll my eyes in annoyance at puns.

The people in that Asmongold thread acting like this is the worst thing anyone has ever said on Twitch when it's common rhetoric from "Breadtubers" or whatever.

The funniest/saddest thing is that they almost never own up to it either. AI Slop generator users almost unanimously hate artists because of extreme jealousy, as they are of the belief that AI slop democratizes art and that artists have some sort of innate talent and not a skill that they worked over time. So they hate them for it, but at the same time they also want to be recognized as artists.

You'll notice often when you call out an AI slop user that tries to pass their work as art, they will often deny it's AI slop and sometimes even work to have "in progress" slop so that they can prove they actually did the work. When eventually they are 100% found out they either act like it's no big deal or then try to argue that using AI slop generators is no different than using a tool.

These people are completely and utterly demented. How can you write some shite like that and consider yourself remotely left wing? Idiots

The only people upset about AI art are the ones who makes "art" that is "anthropomorphic" version of "me fucking my wife but I'm a wolf and shes a bunny." 
That is what Nepenthe does.  Nobody cares about that or even considers it art.  Human society is glad to see the cottage industry of furry porn die because of AI art.

The weird thing is that a common argument I've seen against Israel is that the Mossad finds gay Palestinians and blackmails them. Which sure sounds shitty but of course also only works if there's a risk to being exposed as gay

That Deep thread is interesting because the STAFF MANDATED CORRECT VIEW is what a bunch of people are complaining about in this one.

The reactions to this trial/case, both here and on the internet in general, were always so fucking bizarre.

I had to ignore the threads

The thing that always sticks out at me was, ahead of the rulings being passed down, there were people complaining about how Depp losing and Heard winning would bring out a whole bunch of low postcount trolls to mock people for daring to support Depp.

...and yet if you paid any attention to the people with the most posts in those threads, there were some accounts that basically only ever existed to post in those threads and specifically guided some of the most fervent discussion for Depp and against Heard. Some of the people here really got taken in by trolls.

yeah i think it's about time we had a reckoning with how this case was followed and commented on by outside observers. a lot of the internet became a hostile echo chamber on this subject

I mean, this has been discussed many times by many people, so it's not like this is the first time anyone will see a video about it :/ like it's been time for a LOOOOOOONG time. But the discussions about it on this forum have never turned out well. This conversation is not new... and the patterns of who goes unheard are anything but surprising.

One of two threadbans I've had here was because Jeff Grubb was critical of Johnny Depp and I agreed with him. It was a toxic conversation big time.

I totally deserved the threadban btw

it was really weird yeah
kinda made me avoid era for a while

Yea I don't really understand the seeming shift here on Era (I know outside of here was a complete mess)

Lots of intentionally toxic misogynists or people dealing with their own unresolved abuse on this topic, even now you see this pop up here and there when talking about Heard's or Depps work in the pipeline.

The ruling may have been correct, but as others in this thread have said, I really can't stress how much pro-Depp-propganda was all over this forum after the ruling and how much it left a bad taste in my mouth.

My opinion on the case is the same as it was two years ago: Both Depp and Heard are toxic people and the circus around that trial and the way it was framed as a watershed moment for male abuse victims never sit right with me then and it still doesn't now. They're both abusers. It's hard for me to be thrilled about an abuser winning a case against another abuser, and the way people were cheering about it to the point where the original OP on the verdict had a title like "Depp Proven Innocent, Let's All Celebrate With the hashtag #ThankYouJohnnyDepp" or something similar just really didn't feel appropriate to me.

The fervor for Depp on Era at the time really made me upset, so I hope this goes better. The "she's no angel" line sucks too; he clearly had the balance of power in the relationship and in the public eye, and he wielded it against her with malice.

Also:

Not to most no. The level of attachment people had to that trial was fucking absurd.

It didn't even set a legal precedent.

Literally NOTHING materially changed.

Amber Heard setting women's rights back allowing for a whataboutism retort to domestic violence. Also Depp is an awful person clearly.

She didn't set anything back because American culture was never primed to give a fuck about women.

That's what some of y'all aren't understanding.

This trial did not actually matter.

Yeah but that's the thing.

This case does not get play unless Johnny Depp is a rich white man and his abuser is a pretty, blonde-haired white woman, the most sympathetic type of person within a white Western context. It became high profile because of these factors, not in spite of them.

So the takeaway that people came away with wasn't actually "men can be victims of abuse and we should take their claims seriously," because if that was the case, then there were already millions of stories and systemic issues at play right now, such as our carceral system, that could have been the catalyst for people to finally start giving a shit.

People cared because it played into their personal biases and reactionary tendencies. It wasn't as important to prove that Depp was a victim of abuse, so much as it was more important to prove that a pretty, blonde-haired white woman had the potential to be an abuser too. And even then, that wasn't even as revelatory if you were non-white. Like, white women were also at the head of plantations; we've been known what y'all are capable of.

So who was the outcome FOR, exactly? WHY was it important? Again, there was no legal precedent actually set by this. Victims of abuse didn't actually gain anything.

You're not understanding that the trial never could have set any precedent, it was a regular ass defamation case.

It actually was important to prove that Depp was a victim of abuse because that's the only way he could win the case.

That isn't actually the takeaway that people came away with though. And we all know that.

Damn, i would have laugh to keep from crying

                     two staff members dismissing concerns? Speaking over victims?

How do people read this and want her to be their leader?  I do because I love seeing a utopia run through it's paces

Oh god, it’s bled out into X…maybe they’re an Era user

The joke would work better if the sequel had not introduced Lady Gaga as the co-lead.

The real joke is that DC added a woman to an already established franchise and the whole thing went to shit. Go woke, go broke, etc. etc.

why, swiggins, why?

[ComeAgain]

I find it very appalling that something like this can happen and days and days later there's no statement or apology.

Hoping something constructive is happening in the background because the silence here isn’t helping.

The walking on eggshells that users feel when posting and interacting with the site is due to the top down hostility and aggression that this whole ordeal has exposed. Not addressing it is ridiculous and counterproductive to fostering a community that people feel comfortable engaging with.

As per usual we don't even get a "we're working on it/preparing a statement, please be patient" message to confirm this is an issue the team is taking seriously at all.

The silence is saying a lot.

I’m amazed there hasn’t been a statement either.

Why do they think the boss should have to apologize to the subordinate? That’s not how it works.

[nachobro]

Because they've never had a job or hate their boss at their entry level retail job they've had for over a decade

[kaleidoscopium]

I'm kind of tired of the phrases "purity tests" and "disagreements" being implied to white supremacy and dangerous conspiracy theories, which is what Rogan has platformed time and time again.

There is a limit to what everyone's personal morals are going to be in regards to doing everything it takes to winan election.

And to be honest, the idea of her going on Joe Rogan after her campaign's insulting treament of the pro-Palestine movement makes this a lot worse. Since the DNC, she has focused on reaching out to right-wing lunatics for their votes while ignoring progressives.

It's worth criticizing.

“Oh noooo she’s trying to appeal to moderate voters by moving rightward on issues instead of capitulating to our increasingly insane demands!!!”

we have been witnessing the rise of fascism in real time, I don't think it's too much to ask for everyone with a platform to do their part.
