if you aren't a sheep then you do not belong on there with the rest of the herd

I don't like discussions about social issues like this. There's two very vocal groups with opposing points of view, and each group has its own 'truth', and if you stray from 'the truth', you're not going to have a good time. ResetEra's official stance is that of one of these groups, and it's also why I really don't like that place even though I'd like to. I went there for a while but I felt oppressed in what I could say - and I consider myself a fairly reasonable discusser. It's not that even got moderated or anything, but the atmosphere simply was bad. The funny part is that I'm probably closer to the official views of ResetEra than those of the 'opposing side', yet I'd much rather hear even opposing views as long as the tone is civil that be in an echo chamber.

It's reason like this why Trump won and why I am glad he did, simply because of the mob mentality and intolerance of the left. These people are basically turning more and more people against them, and for good reason. The more stories like this I hear, the more I'm glad to not be part of them. I would say it's their loss and move on.

NeoGaf today is far right.

Imagine the most intolerable, unhinged and detached from reality communities on GAF splintered off and started their own forum. That’s what Resetera is. Are you shocked that they’d ban you for not mindlessly falling in line with their idiocy? The bans there have been hilarious.

Went through Vavra's twitter, he literally has done nothing wrong but show hatred towards communism, which is perfectly alright because communism is shit and has killed millions of innocent people. He's a good guy, fuck ResetEra.

Don't even know why normal people still waste their time trying to argue with sjws in a sjw forum.

The stories of permabanned users in GAF/ERA usually go like: 

Permabanned: But man, where's the evidence? 

Adult member (usually not a junior): We have discussed already: if you do or watch x, you're x. 

PB: But he can't be necessarily x since x.

A: What a stupid fucking argument. 

A: ? If you do or watch x, you're x, deal with it. 

A: You can't be serious... or are you? 

It's absolutely hilarious, I think I've seen this over 20 times now. I really don't know crap about this whole situation, or who's really the one holding the truth, but when things get heated in those forums, the same passive-aggressive tone gets repeated over and over, makes me really wonder if these guys have some kind of templates in Word or something like that and then just have to edit it to make it congruent with the correspondant situation. 

The few times I've been there since, it seems actually pretty pleasant. Different opinions are expressed and talked about.

Though I've seen a couple of Era members call it a breeding ground for alt-right GamerGaters...

They call sargon far right. If that's true from their perspective then they are farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *you hear a drop in a well* left.
