Support NeoGAF

[Clear]

Can anyone pls explain what kind of values the people on RE have? I know they are left-leaning and VERY LGBT+-welcoming to a fault (from what I've heard), but anything more specific? Their behaviour seems extremely arbitrary and dare I say, actually toxic..?

They looooooove the feeling of power and wielding it over others!

 

[joeygreco1985]

Yeh just saw this:




When people speak the truth there they get banned. They all want to live in some alternate universe for pretty much all aspects of life. It's insane.

I still have no idea how that post is considered to be a bannable offence.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Wow....so a dev sharing their perspective of the mass layoffs was banned on that shithole, and this dev here went off...good on him or her!

 

[F0rneus]

Damn that ERA thread is wild. People are calling out the staff out loud lol. So many people are about laid off from REEEEEE.

 

[THE DUCK]

That's OK, on gaf we 4 "critical of ms" threads for basically the same topic started here make up for era.

 

[Audiophile]

I got banned over there for shitting on Anita Sarkeesian.

 

[rofif]

lol bunch of loosers.
good phill can't do no wrong

But is ND lays of 6 people? GODLESS BASTARDS !!!

 

[Darkmakaimura]

GAF has something else Reeee doesn't - a sense of humor.

 

[Audiophile]

My account which I haven't used in years is still active, might have to nuke it in epic style some time.

 

[Freeman76]

Not much different here with Sony tbh

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Funny but also kind of sad to see the same thing happening over and over again. I haven't been back to REEE for a few years now, and I don't miss it one bit. Every thread turns into something political or non-game related and anyone can get banned for the dumbest shit. It doesn't need to make a lick of sense. But I suppose I should be thankful, they helped me find NeoGAF which has been awesome.

The only thing more annoying than console warring is the forum warring that goes on around here. At the end of the day I think a lot of the weirdo anti-woke sentiment around here is nonsense, but RE goes too far in locking down what people can say without being banned which is why I stay here. This forum would be a lot better if everyone just stopped acknowledging the other one entirely rather than renting out free headspace to it on a daily basis.

Honestly it's fun to make fun of them. But I'm also a regular Nelson Muntz.

 

[RoboFu]

Who cares what they do?

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

*And take screenshots

 

[BennyBlanco]

I got banned on resetera for literally nothing. One day they said I was an alt of some banned poster I had never even seen post. I just wasn’t an over the top leftist and had the gall to post some mainstream middle of the road political takes.

 

[Needlecrash]

Group

Many of us visit both sites and until recently I was a member there before asking for a perm. My reasoning, seeing people get banned for having critical thought about XB's efforts in the gaming industry. Today, after mass layoffs at XB people are being banned. The offence... Thinking critically.

Groupthink is a bitch I SWEAR. Think outside of the box? GET THAT ASS BANNED.

 

[Katatonic]

Left and woke are two different things.
Wokeism is modern-day fascism which co-opted the "left" term.

 

[gaming_again]

lmao just lmao I love these updates on the lunatics. Don't listen to the posters saying we should ignore them!

 

[kruis]

[Sanepar]

Most of mods and thousand of ms fanboys cheered the aquisition. Today on abk's layoff thread they disappeared.

 

[Needlecrash]

And now she has been banned
I can't... HAHAHAHHAHHA

HEY HEY HEY....GET THAT ACTUAL CRITICAL THINKING LOGIC OUTTA HERE!

 

[MiguelItUp]

Can't say that it surprises me at this point, none of it is shocking.

"Many of us visit both sites" Is that true? I was under the impression that wasn't the case for a lot of folks here. Why would you even bother going over there in the first place? There's no reason to, lol.

I couldn't agree more. I feel like folks that consistently bring it up are like those exes that just can't let go of yesterday. It's time to let go and move on at some point. I understand slow news days and all, but we know what goes on there, and little of what they do is a surprise especially nowadays. I mean, it's the biggest "water is wet" scenario with them.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Why even go to bother with both sites? Just stay here you turncoats.

 

[Lupin3]

Many of us visit both sites

Then you're doing it wrong.

 

[NickFire]

And now she has been banned
I can't... HAHAHAHHAHHA

User Banned (1 month): Ain't no party like a Pinkertons party and a Pinkertons party don't stop!

 

[Zelduh]

We've been gaslighted by pro-acquisition people over the last two years that capitalism won't do the thing it always will. Been spun a tale about how this merger will result in improved job security and that regulators like the FTC should be defunded for daring to oppose it. Dissenters got dogpiled and thread banned in the only discussion thread permitted on the forum.

You can interpret this as "platform warring" if you want but I am livid that people are losing their jobs and having years of work amount to nothing, including those who worked for my favourite developer. Inevitably the thing that many of us feared came to pass.

I think there is a lot more to discuss here than posts about "thoughts and prayers", there needs to be some introspection among games players, that cheering on these mega mergers does not result in more competition and innovation nor does it benefit the workers. Phil Spencer with his 8 figure salary is not your friend, those gamer t-shirts he wears does not mean he's going to bring back fan favourites from the '90s and the promise of unionisation does not mean there won't be mass layoffs.

Or we can go back to fantasising about Xbox buying Sega because it totally won't happen again, the next time will be different.

 

[vagabond-]

I hope this year that place nukes itself up. Bunch of born made snowflake bitches

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

And now she has been banned
I can't... HAHAHAHHAHHA

And Windrunner was one of the nuttiest nuts there too, maybe they've seen the light.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

As if the rainbow skittles wasn't enough reason not to post there already.

 

[Banjo64]

My account which I haven't used in years is still active, might have to nuke it in epic style some time.

If I were you I’d just go and call them all a bunch of pedophiles.

Ban incoming in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...


Oh, right, this forum isn't run by complete nutcases. Carry on!

 

[GutsOfThor]

Someone on November 24, 2022 PREDICTED The exact same number of people that were going to lose their jobs.

Banned.

S

That's probably Spencer's account

 

[Little Chicken]

No

It's because you go into a thread about anything remotely related to Microsoft and the same-olds derail it with their garbage tears, like they do here.

That is posted in the Xbox OT so there's at least one place you can talk about Xbox without feeling violated by incels.

 

[kyussman]

I would imagine being critical of pedophilia is a bannable offense over there.....they are fucking lunatics.Don't give them traffic ffs.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

They lean left less than my dick does. Just a load of performative, virtue-signalling childlike tyrants

And that is the truth.

 

[Doomtrain]

So wait, that woke leftist thought bubble is against criticizing a giant corporation for not caring about its workers!?

They're not for or against anything in principle. It's 100% a matter of whether or not you side with the hivemind or not.

 

[Spukc]

This is why i fucking love GAF

Also sorry i love microsoft

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

"Gutted right now. Gutted. Hope everyone lands on their feet and gets a new job asap."

Only acceptable reply posted approximately 400 times in a row. Place is the most insane level of groupthink possible. I requested a ban years ago but even then it was literally one acceptable answer paraphrased per thread.

 

[Snake29]

Era is a safe place for Microsoft shills and people are finally noticing

He/him or She/her banned already?

 

[bender]

I'm shocked that a forum with some of the worst moderation of all time would do something like this.

 

[Kerotan]

So they're getting some of that billion dollar PR money it seems.

 

[T-0800]

So wait, that woke leftist thought bubble is against criticizing a giant corporation for not caring about its workers!?

That's not all. They also hate, Jews.

 

[Euler007]

For a while I didn't mind the mod powertrip over there, it seemed to improve the conversation and taught me to not post while inhebriated. Somewhere along the way it got less fun to play around those pieces of shit (shoutout to Transistor though, he's one of the more normal human beings over there).

When it got sold the new owners should have moved quickly to get rid of the more problematic mods. The board got more and more boring, cliquey and out of touch as time went on. I actually sent the owners an email around the time they banned talking about Hogwarts, that was some crazy shit. Even now you can't mention the name.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Playing with fire.

 

[Ribi]

I'm confused. I thought that side hated billionaires but now they defend massive corporations? No wonder they're attacking palworld too while defending Pokemon.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

So wait, that woke leftist thought bubble is against criticizing a giant corporation for not caring about its workers!?

Theres enough smoke to believe that the site is controlled by XBOX ambassadors

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

 

[Crayon]

I question the wisdom of making a thread about off-site drama, but while we're here....

Ask yourself why a community who is precisely backwards on everything loves this company so much.

 

[Krieger]

I wish REE had a visible ban list. Just today there would be about 700+ new perma bans.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Can anyone pls explain what kind of values the people on RE have? I know they are left-leaning and VERY LGBT+-welcoming to a fault (from what I've heard), but anything more specific? Their behaviour seems extremely arbitrary and dare I say, actually toxic..?

I got banned for refusing to swear my allegiance to the ACAB movement after I asked what the hell it was.
