Thank you both, I have been well, I took a time away from any social media.
Can't blame you, it has been a hell hole of late, check out the Hogwarts stuff with people making websites to see if people have played the game so that they can boycott a streamer.

It's a mad house out there.

People just live too good, too comfortable and have loads of free time with nothing to do, that's why they imagine and come up with all this bullshit.

The more people working, have active and passive hobbies, the more they are occupied, the less nonsense there is.

I think there is a lot of truth to what you say, it's just the spitefulness of some of these people.

Sometimes I wonder if the people in places like reset era actually realize they are doing more damage than good with their stances.

I have always been taught to bring all people to the table, listen to them, try to find common ground but damn, there approach, sometimes i think they are actually doing more damage to the Trans community.

I’ve seen it, I go with the simple way of live and let others live.

Also I unfollowed some people on twitter, I don’t support bullying, no matter what.
Just because someone wants to play a game, it’s their choice and money!

Both sides are so filled with extremes that I don’t want anything to do with that.

Still confused how I got banned from neogaf with no warning or reason - only to find out hours later , a mod was writing that I was spamming everyone to go to another forum - thing that never happened, then he proceeded to DM some people saying I was one of those crazy ERA guys.
At least I can laugh now. All of it was very ridiculous!
Sheesh. I've never been on D-pad or NeoGAF, but it seems like all of those forums are run by seedy a-holes who treat the sites as their own personal playground.

I think the only reason ResetEra has so many professionals and journalists is because of the staff's superficial, disingenuous facade of respectability and caring about social issues.

I even saw recently Daniel Ahmed was kinda lamenting his hand in it's creation and the route it has gone...

Yeah the problem is neogaf vs Ree where both were tying to be different from each other so they could get people. One become a cult-like, the other became such a mess. Both do not allow free discussion and exchange of ideas. Also jokes aren’t allowed anymore everything needs to be serious and you cannot write things with subtly or else there’s room to people to find double meaning.

Meanwhile gaming journalists are now bias and have their own agenda.

Has he lamented the kiddie porn discord he was part of with the other mods from there?
I'm not familiar with that incident, but I know Hecht deleted his Twitter account after claiming it was being attacked by "Russian assets":

If Kiwifarms isn’t under lockdown, there’s a thread there that gives the details. Basically, the founding mods of Reeee had a private discord where they shared some very distasteful and even illegal things.

It wouldn't surprise me if the users on that site are too afraid to point it out. You can get banned for sneezing in the admins' general direction.

Edit (Don't want to double-post):

ColdSun's comment section on Steam was flooded with people calling him out on his hypocrisy. He privated his profile after trying (and failing) to curtail it by deleting the comments.

It stings, but at the end of the day, there's a reason why when people read the ban rationale, their first thought is "What the f**k? I know Darkknight2149 can get passionate, but that doesn't sound like them." Meanwhile, the ResetEra administrators are downright infamous for banning people for asinine and arbitrary reasons.
I'm perma banned off of gaf because I don't like the series S and GamePass. I'm not that much of a troll (however, I can be).

I'm sorry to hear that brother, I didn't know you'd been perm'd or maybe I had forgotten. Yeah, there seems to be a huge amount of protection for XBox fans on Gaf.

I kinda get annoyed when I see certain people post on there when they have this place and other options but they decide to support an obviously biased forum. But anyway...
