Most jobs don't pay fair wages. I was just offered a part time game news writing job where they paid -- this is Games Rant dot com and I do have receipts -- their offer is SEVEN DOLLARS per 400 word article

Imagine thinking writing (i.e. copying from somewhere else) about game news on a website no one has heard of is worth more than that.

at an average typing speed of 40 words per minute, thats SEVEN DOLLARS for 10 mins work which isn't exactly a punch in the dick

Even bad writing is more than typing 400 words as quick as you can.

Nobody wants to pay for writing at any level of competency. Hence all the gimps tripping over themselves to work for a tenth of a cent per word or "exposure."

What's LGBT about Abby? 

I know almost fuck all about TLOU2 to match my level of interest in it outside of the drama it provoked, but isn't that character meant to be trans?

My point was more that if that was Laura Bailey posting a tweet about how mjuch harrassment she'd got for playing a black character in UC4 that thread would be full of "boohoo snowflake check your fucking privilege" responses rather than "that's terrible, harassing someone like that" responses

I get the feeling most of that ppw article generation for gaming sites is indeed just churn out articles as fast as possible to generate content, whether thats "rewrite this press release", "rewrite this news story a different site posted" or "drop a hot take about something thats in the news" though

Exactly the last few years the word Nazi has lost all its meaning. People have forgotten about history

I sometimes get the feeling people think the NSDAP's platform was "Capitalism, ho! Also, vote for us and we'll gas the jews, gypsies and gays!", when it was actually more "Power to the people! Down with conservatives and reactionaries!" - typical lefty stuff. Except for the heavy dose of nationalism, which can partially be attributed to WWI and the Treaty of Versailles. But then all you really have to do is replace mentions of the British Empire and France with Russia and China, and Era would happily cheer for early NSDAP propaganda like the uneducated braindead muppets they are.

Except Nazis hated socialists and communists. I don't understand people desperately try to associate Nazism with the left especially considering Hitler made deals with the German rich and powerful.

edit: also, this forum has a sinophobia issue. any thread about Tencent or China more generally devolved into horrible racism. And a lot of what is said about Tencent or the Chinese government applies to US companies/government too. It's gross. For example: https://www.resetera.com/threads/te...s-for-next-gen-consoles.239188/#post-38579212

Preach.

The amount of "I am not supporting a government who does X" going around are suspicious as hell.

What the fuck is this? The whole thread is based on "how dare you to tangentially support JK Rowling!" but when it comes to a government breaking tons of human rights, actively hurting people, it's suddenly "suspicious"

How can they be not even remotely consistent?

I agree and disagree. I think you're right but I also believe people expect outside government and people to never be forgiven while Westerners always get chances.

Except Nazis hated socialists and communists. I don't understand people desperately try to associate Nazism with the left especially considering Hitler made deals with the German rich and powerful.

The Nazis WERE socialists. That's what the "S" in "NSDAP" stands for. "National Socialist German Worker's Party". "Socialist", "Worker's Party" - pretty fucking obvious, no? I own a collection of actual NSDAP pre-war flyers and propaganda pamphlets, they are very, very clear. Yes, they hated communists, but mostly because they were nationalists and considered the communist party a Soviet asset. Sure, Hitler was no socialist hardliner (unlike many other NSDAP leaders who were all for seizing the means of production), and sure, some large companies supported him, but what exactly is that supposed to prove? He got donations from industrialists, therefore he had to be a capitalist? The elite saw the writing on the wall and tried to buy influence. Sure, you could say they weren't "real" socialists and were just lying to the public and their own members, but how is that any different from Stalin, Mao, Castro, Honecker, Pol Pot or any other communist/ socialist leader in history?

damn... commentary so incisive you could write a whole ass book about this

[wsippel]

Explain to me how the Nazis were socialists

For starters, read the 25-point program of the NSDAP, in particular points 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 24. I guess 22 counts as well, to a lesser degree. I'm sure you'll be able to find a translation. Then explain how that program wasn't socialist.

And again, I'm well aware that the program was largely propaganda and Hitler didn't really give a fuck once he was in power, but that was the entire point of the discussion: This program and their entire propaganda was super left wing, that's how they mobilized the masses and seized power. Once in power, they could do whatever the fuck they wanted.

China is a republic 

And the German Democratic Republic was both democratic and a republic.

The Nazis promised equal rights for all citizens (including full religious freedom, funnily enough - unless you're Jewish of course), they promised to dismantle banks, large corporations and the military industrial complex, they promised to give the land owned by the rich elite to the people, they promised that all workers would get a fair share of their employers profits, they promised free education and pensions for all, universal healthcare and all those other things. Those promises were how they got support and ultimately managed to seize power. They told the plebs exactly what they wanted to hear, and what they want to hear clearly didn't change all that much in the last 100 years. I'm not a comic guy, but I'll quote Lobo here: "Never trust fucking nobody."

What really pisses me off is that some people seem to think calling Nazis (or their program) left wing is somehow pro-Nazi. It absolutely isn't. Socialism is and has always been pied piper nonsense. I'd argue it's inherently flawed, it never worked and always led to disaster. But that doesn't mean I'm libertarian or support unchecked capitalism, either.

This is why you don't let people create political spectrums except as memes.

[benjipwns]

I am really, really getting sick of cis era members telling the rather large portion of trans era members that have an issue with Natalie (which isn’t just about one thing by the way, I love how my inability to transition makes me fake or not valid, really helps my mental health that I am getting treated for at my doctors orders so I don’t get committed because it’s at the point of making me a danger to myself) how wrong we are, and we have a problem. At the same time there are TWO threads on this subject where more than one user have stated that the fact the most transphobic users get banned as proof that the mods are doing a perfect job and eliminating the issue at the root cause (ha) even though at least one admin agrees with the fact their are major issues. Once again era showing at the end of the day that transphobia runs deep and cis users thinking they know better than trans people on trans issues.

And for the love of god stop elevating Contrapoints since “she’s the only trans voice lots of cis people Hear” which could be solved by you know listening to the trans people you constantly talk over using her as a bludgeon. She’s the only trans person you want to listen too and that’s why, she lets you feel good about telling trans people their business and that shit seriously needs to fucking stop.

And especially stop with her being the voice and it’s a net positive. There is enough of a trail now for me to say her influence is a net negative, and harmful to trans people. She bullies other trans people, supports/platforms trans people that bully other trans people, and makes cis people confident in bullying trans people.

Because using her as a means to constantly turn threads like this into a platform to tell a sizable group of eras trans population they are wrong, saying we are misogynist for this (?), telling us we don’t get or are wrong about trans issues constantly and as a group, that’s fucking bullying.

And always making the argument we’re missing context and nuance in Natalies anti-trans tendencies and we are wrong even though the majority of people with an issue are trans and have a much better idea about this, however purposefully throwing all context and nuance out to defend Natalie and how dare we link her to this when the link is plain as fucking day.

Era has a serious fucking transphobic, cisplaiNing problem, saying my black friend would get you banned but it’s okay to drag out Natalie to argue against trans people.

I would say if it doesn’t stop the forum is eventually going to lose It’s entire trans community, but ai have a feeling that at the end of the day quite a few posters here, including those who call themselves allies would be perfectly fine with that, some of them even secretly happy.

I’ve said recently and I am going to say it again, face facts most here are not allies so they should stop calling themselves that. I would actually rather They stay out of threads related to trans issues completely and stop pretending instead of calling themselves allies when it’s feel good but then rushing into any negative thread to chastise the majority of Era’s trans community.

Im sick of having a knife in my back everytime the subject comes up, and it’s actually easier to post here at least for me knowing I have no friends than with posters that call themselves friends then act like my enemy.

There are TWO threads?!? And ResetERA.com is involved in BOTH these threads?!?

[Nintex]

Just had a look at a thread on the other side and come to the realisation that things just aren't going to change here whatsoever. Same shit different thread every single time without fail.

Between all this and incidents outside this forum(there are some people here that will know what I'm talking about though) it's hard to stay strong. To say it hurts is an understatement.

[benjipwns]

I'm a trans woman and I don't want to paint everyone with the same brush, but the Gaming side of this forum has made me literally cry on several occasions. Big ol sobs of frustration. Do I need to get a thicker skin? No. Do I need to be less emotional? No.

[Nintex]

I won't directly link it, as it's nice to have a string of positivity going in this thread, but wanted to note about the Catherine Full Body thread that had a short life earlier. The response there really underlines the issue here of transphobia being a mere footnote to most gamers when it comes to problematic content. People will happily ignore transphobic content if it they are dead-set on buying a game.

The most dismaying part of the thread was the poll: 60% of those who voted said 'yes' to the game being worth buying, which becomes an issue when 'buy used' was in the poll as a separate option.

If you don't buy games used you are practically a Nazi

User Banned (Duration Pending): Rationalising child grooming.

So they can the bat if they roll up to Jr high, but pressuring jr high kids to take pics of themselves masturbating is okay. alright boss

Not gonna lie, it's antagonistic posts like yours that makes me reconsider engaging with people in this forum. "Alright boss". Like what did I say to you that warrants this? Let me ask you, where do you think im going with my posts? Do you think I'm empathetic with predators? Search my post history and find me something where I disagree with the cancellation of nairo and the other pedos. You won't find it because they deserve all of the worst things to happen to them.

Man some members here gotta chill out with posts like yours.

i don't understand, why does he have to groom more than one minor for you to change your position?

Because it goes to show that he didn't change. It means that he's actively searching out minors for his self satisfaction. And that makes him a predator.

But given his childhood, I truly believe his actions came from a place not out of malice, but of a place of...well, just stupidity. He rose to...Internet fame. Ugh, I hate saying that...it's like Jesus dude, it's fucking internet fame, its...embarrassing. Anyway...

anytime someone gets a little notoriety they feel like they're famous and get gassed up and feel untouchable. Now, judging by his look back in the day, and his social awkwardness...I'm going to assume he wasn't popular with the ladies. And the moment he got famous and all of a sudden you have girls actively reaching out to you (with innocent intentions like Katie)...well, the fame got to his head.

I was socially awkward with girls growing up. An Asian American child back in the 80s-90s, living in an Italian neighborhood and attending catholic school where I and another Asian American were literally the ONLY Asians in the school and growing up in an era where apparently I knew Kung fu, and all of the female classmates were Italian...well let's just say I had a miserable childhood. First girlfriend at 18, broke up one year later and been single till I was 30. That's when I went to china to met my then GF now wife. In china, something weird happened. Now I was shy and awkward around girls all my life in NY. I was a hoot with my guy friends though, made them laugh like I was the clown of the group. It wasn't until I lived in china for 5 years that I learned that I was actually...charismatic? I guess is the word.

Anyway, all of a sudden, I was being approached by ladies left and right, from my cousins friends, to teachers at the arts center where I taught English. Before I met my wife, not gonna lie, I was gassed up. Mind you I was still shy but I quickly made friends with them (never dated, I have a personal code). The point of the story is, having that kind of attention was intoxicating especially if you're someone that had little to no interaction with the opposite sex.

What does this have to do with zero? Well, like I said, I can slightly relate to him...except in my case, I didn't hit on little girls. But I understand the effect of being admired. Once again, what he did was fucked up and as someone pointed out to me, very INEXCUSABLE. But it didn't escalate to the point where he met with her or received nude pics. Yes, he asked for them, he even asked for her to masturbate. To my knowLedge, fortunately for him, it never happened.

I don't know how else to convey this, but...I'd like to think that people can change for the good. Like...someone that joined a gang and did heinous shit. Or an alcoholic, hell, even a racist. People have the ability to change. Just based off of what little I've seen of him, he SEEMS like a good kid, that's unfortunately had a fucked up childhood, and fucked up history with interacting with girls.

Sorry this went on longer than I anticipated...just wanted to express that he fucked up, but as long as he atones for his mistakes, he shouldn't be cancelled.

However, this story is still developing. And if more were to be revealed, well, there's nothing more that can be said.

NeoGAF finally broke me down in 2010 after a solid 10 years on the board in different forms. I was one of the most active posters in the old PoliGAF threads and over the years, I went from full on: "I don't want gay people to get married." to "I'll perform the gender reassignment surgery myself, if that's what it takes for this woman to be comfortable in her own skin."

That certainly introduced me to stuff like Feminist frequency, which was a gateway to other media like that.

out of boredom I watched his review (it's terrible and his skits are terrible)

it's not misogynistic at all

he says one of the things they enjoyed the most about the game was Abby's gameplay and how it stemmed from her being a physical powerhouse, I don't remember a single thing criticizing her for not being feminine enough

if anything he's mad that she gets to pet dogs and the creators spent so much time trying to get you on her side, humanize her, when he just wasn't gonna get on board with that because of what she does in the story

and he proposes a different way the story could've gone that would've worked better for him, without even changing anything about Abby's character, just the plot
