It's literally an option in the Xenforo admin menu.

uh, learn to read bucko, he pretty clearly says its something the era mods dont have the ability to do


like update a TOS or reply to fair criticism in the spirit it was intended

I wonder if MOBA locked them out.

But ultimately, ResetEra is not the vanguard of anything significantly important. Our conversational rules about not just AI, but literally anything here, are not going to have a strong material impact on any relevant industries or political processes. This is a space for minorities to talk about video games and other nerd shit without having to deal with the entire brunt of right-leaning chud bullshit from the rest of the gaming community on spaces like Reddit. That's all it is.

When this is essentially the mission statement of the admin of your for-profit message board, you might not give them the power to start banning the embeds of the most popular social media platforms.

The normal thread gets more normal.

You think killing people by denying them care is the same as actual healthcare. You can go fuck yourself you stupid piece of shit.

It's not that weird. ERA is filled with corporate apologists. It's mostly on the gaming side, but it bleeds over to everything. There were a lot of people here excited about Disney buying Fox, for instance. It's all born from the same mindset

Also, we're ad-sponsored. We got bills to pay and fuckin' talking about actual revolution and organization and direct action and critical thinking are anathema to capitalists for obvious reasons, so inherently the means through which this community can serve as a stepping stone to real change is further hamstrung by that fact alone.

I would also warn against that "good trans" stuff not on any trans-specific grounds but on the grounds that you probably don't see what they're posting online. Especially what they're posting in online radical communities. Or any other communities for that manner.

Look at nearly everyone on ResetERA.com starting with the police abolitionist forum cop who called the literal police on me mocking her online persona.

This is not to argue that you should suspect that trans person you know casually in real life is actually a secret fetishist who writes incoherent political manifestos online but just to remember that all white cishet people are white supremist colonizers who would kill a random Black non-binary woman they come across on the street to finish the job washing her meat prevented.

There's no "Good Trans" just like how there are no "Good White People". They are a part of the capitalistic system of western decadence and degeneracy. Until we dismantle the West and the Capitalist System there is no "Good".

Another thread locked because of the Hamas supporting freaks. Wonder how many poor innocent Jews will catch a ban this time for daring to speak up?

information discovered from the most reputable source online, the only true source of knowledge (reddit referring to this more complete post)

I looked at the Mayo Clinic information page about puberty blockers. It says that the effects are reversible. I was curious what the primary reference was for that fact, so I tried tracing down the references at the bottom of the page.

Mayo Clinic says that puberty blockers are reversible because that's what the WPATH published standards of care (version 8) says. The WPATH SOC8 says that blockers are reversible, but it doesn't cite any studies that support such a claim. It cites earlier WPATH publications, SOC versions 6 and 7. (see page 45 of 260). Version 6 was published in 2001 and doesn't cite any references. Version 7 was published in 2012. On page 13 of 67, it describes:

Fully reversible interventions. These involve the use of GnRH analogues to suppress estrogen or testosterone production and consequently delay the physical changes of puberty.

That section cites a 2009 study by Hembree. This paper asserts that even "Prolonged pubertal suppression" is reversible. I looked at that study, and there's a section of the paper called evidence. It states:

In addition, the hormonal changes are fully reversible, enabling full pubertal development in the biological gender if appropriate

Okay. That paper cited a 2008 paper. It says:

In our view, these early hormonal interventions should not be considered as sex reassignment per se. Their effects are reversible.

That paper cited a paper from 1998. It's a single patient case study! And it was a case of a bright female patient who later had a mastectomy (I guess those blockers didn't prevent breast development) and a hysterectomy. How can such a case confirm that blockers are reversible for male patients?! The paper doesn't mention that the effects are allegedly reversible. At least the author recognized that it might not just give the patient time to think.

Adolescents may consider this step a guarantee of sex reassignment, and it could make them therefore less rather than more inclined to engage in introspection. Furthermore, pubertal delay could widen the already existing social gap between transsexuals and their peers

This is like the citogenesis described in the xkcd comic:
https://xkcd.com/978/

As I was reading these publications, I came across this gem from WPATH Standards of Care version 7:

To date, no controlled clinical trials of any feminizing/masculinizing hormone regimen have been conducted to evaluate safety or efficacy in producing physical transition.

JFC.

There are no good billionaires, not sure why people believe otherwise.

You only get that much money by making way more from other people's labor than they do.

Nep nep would never say this. She would say something like: "you need to remove the infection from the host body and give the relevant authorities a mandate to take action. Why aren't you reporting them yet. I guess people here are too lazy and distracted by their silly games and Disney movies to learn the trade of Lavrenti Beria."

Pretty sure it's already baked in there like one of those double-secret hidden TOS IKYKY rules like no skillup shit or thou shall respect no religions (besides Islam and Wicca, natch) .

Is Rbz just some "as a *blank* man villian of the week/alt or is the safe space for minorities to talk about video games really just that cool with babydonthurtme telling him to shut his goddamned jewhole, already? There's bluehairs with opinions he probably didn't even consider, it's worth pointing out.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Maybe I'm just getting old, but monitoring hate sites is kind of soul-crushing, to borrow a phrase.

*I didn't put them in the server, they were on my work laptop and got put on the server during a manual back up initiated by IT

Obviously - I don't watch anime or movies while I'm working. But a work friend gave me a USB drive of some movies and shows, and I put it on my work desktop and uploaded it to my personal google drive. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to delete it from my PC when I was done. And we were bought out by a bigger company, and I got a new PC, and so all the stuff on my old PC got pulled into the server and got flagged. And now because I'm part of a big company, it's a bigger deal than it would have been in the past

I'm just so embarrassed. This is like the stupidest thing in the world to get in trouble for. This is like something that an intern gets in trouble for. I feel like an idiot. Hopefully this isn't the kind of thing you can get fired for (is it? Please tell me it isn't era, help me stay calm), but needless to say I'll be on my best behavior now...

Edit: I don't really remember the anime, I think it was science fiction stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Red Line. For movies, the only one I remember was Dune? There was a TON of stuff in there.

If seeing a penis on your supposedly female body doesn’t trigger dysphoria you probably aren’t actually trans and just caught the social bug from twitter.

It's not because he's trans.
